Somewhere in the process OF

The first group, of course, has

own. The second section can be
rather pathetic and usually
needs a cheering word. No one
will ever deny that physical at
tractiveness is a nice asset at
adolescence, as we'll as at any
other time, but there's nothing
more fallacious than the as
sumption that it is the alpha and
omega of popularity.
Our Plain James must work
harder at making friends than
their attractive sisters, put as
compensation, their friendships
are apt to be firmer and longer
lasting.
Girls whose looks are some
thing less than glamourous can
hold their own even in school,
where calloW lads have not yet
learned discrimination, and may
lack the judgment of selection.
It doesn't take them too long,
however, to realize that the belle
of the class may be more inter-
ested in talking about herself
than in listening to a young
mans saga of his own achieve
ments. So, here we have No. l
on the list of the plain girls as

be good listener than a CONVEX

must put bit more effort into
making friends, her valuation OF
them is usually quite high. Her

Negro School PTAs
To Spearhead Drive
On Delinquency
By jones 6. Deone

Leaders in the Districts colored
schools are planning an extern
Sive campaign against juvenile
delinquency.
The campaign will be spear
headed by the Washington Con-
greSS of Parent Teacher ASSocia-
tions. with active leadership by
school officials. Miss Edith A.
Lyons, associate school superin-
tendent, has been appointed
chairman.
In the city's white schools,
rreanwhile~a a high school princi-
paPs committee is expected to
meet this week to consider the
conduct of SororitieS and frater-
mites.
Miss Lyons said yesterday the
aim of the new delinquency
campaign is to enlist the help
Of parents in reducing juvenile
lawbreaking.
Leaders plan an all-day con-
ference November IA. This will
be- followed up, Miss Lyons said,
by a series of smaller neighbor-
hood meetings throughout the
city during the rest of the
winter.
Aid to Be Sought.
Aid of law enforcement,
church and welfare experts will
be sought.
School authorities have been
unable to cope with the juvenile
problem by themselves, and no
large-scale program has been
organized up to now to win pa
rental help, Miss Lyons said.

Mrs. Martha H. Winston, prin-

School, and DR.. Irene c. Hypps,
assistant school superintendent,
are aiding Miss Lyons in the
direction of the drive.
Robert F. Brooks. PTA con-
gress president said, the juvenile
drive will be the winters major
project for his organization.
The, aid of all SO PTAS will be
enlisted.
Fraternity Situation Studied.
School officials have been
studying the fraternity situation
since a group of fraternity boys
was arrested last spring at a
showing of a lewd movie in a
District dance studio.
Last Thursday night, another
group-mostly from Coolidge and
Roosevelt High Schools-was ar
rested during an outdoor initia-
ton in Wheaton. Md, at which
some of the youths we're naked
and covered with molasses and
feathers.
Principals at those two high
schools are planning to talk with
all the youths individually, but
disciplinary action is unlikely be-
cause ernities-which are not
recognized but are not banned

Cedric o. Reynolds, Coolidge
principal, said the youths disre-
garded advice given to students
in several assemblies last week
to avoid "discreditable" activities.
Mr.. Reynolds predicted last
night that the unfavorable pub
Hcity would help considerably in
curtailing such activities.

The report from DR.. O'NeilS

committees belief that as adult
citizens of Washington most of

concern for planning for our
children and that we should ac-
cept the challenge which this
juvenile delinquency problem
presents, and both urge and par
ticipate in aggressive action to
help solve it,"
Look to NeighbOrhOodS.
The committee asserted that
a program to improve the situa-
ton must have it's inception in
the neighborhoods, that the
leadership should come from
neighborhood groups and that
young people should take a large
part in planning as we'll as car
rying through the plans.
In urging a pilot project in an
area of serious delinquency, it
was proposed that leadership
should be found in the affected
area and that the services and
resources of such groups as par
ent teacher ssocia tionS
churches, schools, recreation and
fraternal organizations as we'll
as professional workers should
be obtained and co-ordinated.
The committee, recognizing
that delinquency is reaching into
the lower age groups, urged
smaller classes in the elementary
schools so teachers would be-
come more aware of individual
problems; study home for pre-
psychotic children, more mental
health services for children and
adults and the finding of some
means "by which parents can be
forced to assume moral as we'll

Nixon Is Given, Job
Of Soothing AFL on
Taft-HartIey Stand
By the Associated Pres,

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 19.-Presi-
dent Eisenhower today assigned
Vice President Nixon the job OF
smoothing ruff1ed feelings of AFI
leaders sore at the administra-
ton since Labor Secretary Mar
tin Durkin's resignation.
The White House in Washing
ton announced that Mr.. Nixon
will deliver a personal message
from Gen. Eisenhower to the
AFL convention next Wednes-
day. Week-long convention ses-
sions get under way here Mon
day.
Mr.. Nixon may give the Presi-
dents reply to the charges made
by Mr.. Durkin, an AFL union
president and Democrat. that he
quit because the administration
ran out on an agreement on
Taft Hartley labor law changes
to be recommended to Congress
Mr.. Durkin said he had an
agreement with Gen. Eisenhower
personally on the amendments
most of which were regarded as
favorable to unions.
Proposals Criticized.
The proposed changes were
sharply criticized by business or
ganikations. and they never were
submitted to Congress. One of
the amendments repeatedly
would wipe out the present laws
proviso allowing individual
States to ban the union shop. or
arrangements requiring workers
Gen. Eisenhower has given no
answer yet to the Durkin charges
that he changed his mind about
the amendments. However, Sen
ator H. Alexander Smith, Re-
publican, of New Jersey, and
Representative Mcconnell, Re-
publican, of Pennsylvania, chair
men, of the Senate and House
Labor committees, both have
denied any firm agreement made
with Mr.. Durkin.
The resignation brought state
ments from Presidents George
Meany of the AFL and Walter
Reuther of the CIO that Gen.
Eisenhower had failed to deliver
on promises made to labor.
Mr.. Meany angrily told an
AFL group a few days ago,
President Eisenhower is not
strong enough to stand up
against the reactionary forces
that dominate his administra-
ton"
Other Official to Speak.
Along this line the CIO News
said in an editorial today re-
garding the aft-Hartley con-
troversy that "the people to
whom the President listened
were not the men of labor but
those who want to make Taft
Hartley even more severe against
unions"
The White House said Mr..
Nixon was coming to the AFL
convention in the absence of any
Secretary of Labor who normally
would convey a presidential mes
sage. However, AFL leaders said
they felt Mr.. Nixon is a higher
level official than "a cabinet
member and "it looks like Presi-
dent Eisenhower wants to try to
smooth this thing out"
Mr.. Durkin, now back in his
old job as president of the AFL
plumbers union, is to address
the AFL delegates himself on
Tuesday, a day ahead of Mr..
Nixon.
Besides Mr.. Nixon, two other
high administration officials are
scheduled to speak to the con-
vention, Secretary of State
Dulles and Welfare Secretary
