We had a jury Of SIX and every

case. But / noticed that the defense
lawyer did not seem to be putting
up much of a fight. In any event, I
rested at the close Of the plaintiffs
case. My adversary then said: II

was 80 frightened that / did not

about ii for almost Is years.
Serious reflection and study
showed me the problem IN an It's
simplicity. My suit had to be
based either on affnnlance of the
contract between my client and
the defendant. or on Disturbance.
If we held that the contract was
valid, my clients damages would

years ago he lost his
first case. Here's q
dramatic true story

TyHE first case l ever tried as a
IL lawyer had a lasting effect
upon my life. It was a little case in
the Municipal Court IN Brooklyn.
My client was a young man of q.
and we were suing for the recovery
of $500 which l claimed had been
procured from him by fraud.
The facts were simple. My client
had seen a newspaper advertise
ment stating that anyone with
$500 to invest could get some very
interesting information at such and
such a place. Since he had just
$500 in the savings hank, he
answered the ad.
He was shown some acetylene
gas lamps and irons. and told that
he could have the exclusive agency
IN New Jersey to sell these articles
for the sole manufacturer. The
$500 was to be put up as security
for his integrity. My client made
the contract, put UP the $500 and
was given a box containing sam
pies Of the articles he was to sell.
When he went to New Jersey,
he found the identical mercha1l-
disc on sale in various retail stores,

the samples in the box. If we re-
pudiated the contract, I should
have rendered back the sample
case, containing perhaps SIS worth
of merchandise. / had not done
that, either.
I was inclined to take all the
blame for the tragedy upon myself.
But if my adversary had stated
the grounds for his motion, or if
the judge had indicated the rea-
sons for his ruling, it would have
been easy for me to supply the
necessary proof. Looking back on
it now, feel certain that someone
had been talking to the judge in
behalf of the defendant. / am sure
that he ruled as he did so that I
would not know what it was an
about.

lHAT little case, with its heart
breaking outcome, influenced my
whole life. ! determined then and
there that if / ever became a judge,
l would do my best to protect the
rights of both sides in case, and
would never permit advantage to
be taken of any lawyer, no matter
how inexperienced. But more inn
portant, that first trial was the
foundation of my lifelong interest

All through my life / have

and technicalities which stand

that the judge himself must take /.
over the questioning of a witness.
Irecall an admiralty case which
came before me in my early days
as a judge. The plaintiff, a work
man, had been injured in am ex-
ploeion aboard a ship in dry dock.
Some ammunition had been stored
m the declkhOuse; a spark from an
aoetylene torch had ignited the
explosives. As a result the injured
man was suing the ship owner for
damages.

Senator Humphrey
Says Sharp Recession
Grips Nation S Farms
By the Associuted Press

Senator Humphrey, Democrat
Of Minnesota said today "a sharp
farm recession" is under way
and indicated he thought the
Agriculture Department was only
doing "wishful thinking" to head
it of.
Prices received by farmers
have dropped 101a per cent in
a year. Senator Humphrey said
in a statement. He said 8 per
cent Of the fall has taken place
since the November election.
Loss of farm purchasing power
is beginning to be felt in rural
communities throughout the Ma
ton the Senator said.
Declaring that the department
is reluctant to face realities, -
Senator Humphrey said:
"When some among us sought
to sound a note of warning about
falling farm prices earlier this
year. we were at first scoffed at.
Then, when it became appar-
ent that wasn't enough of an
answer for farmers. the line was
switched to how long ago the
decline in prices started. Farm
ers finally made it rather clear
they weren't interested in
wrangling about when things
started going to pot. They were
concerned with what is happen
ing to farm prices right now
today"
He charged that a powerful
bloc of spectators. food brokers
and professors are trying to pull
the rug of price supports out
from under the farmers"

more frequent patrols in some
areas to curb juvenile delin-
quency.

Court Option Urged
For u. S. Attorney

The Stanton Park Citizens
Association last night urged that
the United States attorney
rather than the Juvenile Court
judge, should have the right to
determine whether a youth over
Is is to be tried in juvenile or
adult court.
William j. Bartle pointed out
that the United States attorney
and the District Court could han
die the cases of young, hardened
criminals better than the juve-
nile agencies because they have
better working relationship
with the police.
The association also asked for
a juvenile vagrancy act to give
police the power to take into
custody children wandering
around the streets at night with
no reasonable purpose"
The motion also asked that
the parents of juvenile vagrants
be fined and in other ways be
held responsible.

Shea Sees Family
As Delinquency Brake

Gerard M. Shea, director of
the Welfare Department, told
the Dupont Circle Citizens AS
sociation yesterday that action
to prevent juvenile delinquency
can best be carried out within
the family unit.
Mr.. Shea told the citizens
group that most delinquentS are
deprived in more than economic
ways. They are emotionally and
culturally deprived and need
stable and secure personal rela-
tionShipS, he said.
Institutions, such as the In
duStrial Home Schools and the
Receiving Home for Boys, which
are direct services of the Depart
ment of Welfare, cannot ade-
quately provide these needs, he
said.
Efforts must be made to COR
rect delinquency before the crisis
stage is reached and before
complete disintegration occurs
Truancy. Mr.. Shea said, is
often the first sign of delin-
quency. 1t usually starts at the
fourth-grade level when more
serious work begins at school
and it indicates that something
has gone wrong. Thus serious
attentio,. -.1lst be paid to the
truancy problem in ali fort tc
prevent more serious misdeeds
later on.
Mr.. Shea said development OF
parental responsibility and pro-
visions for community programs

Expert Warns
Against Simple
Juvenile Cure
Children's Bureau
Official Offers 3-Step
Delinquency Program

A national expert on juvenile
delinquency last night cautioned
a gainst over-simplifying the
the problem by blaming it all on
the parents or insisting that a
trip to the woodshed will cure
misbehaving boy.
Bertram Beck, director of the
special juvenile delinquency prof.
ect sponsored by the Children's
Bureau, conceded there was a
grain of truth in such talk be-
cause juvenile delinquency does
have it's roots in the home.
But if the parent is rejecting
the child, if because of par
ent'S own problems, he can't give
the boy security, what good does
1t do the boy to punish the par
ent?" he asked in addressing the
District Chapter of the Ameri-
can Association of University
Women.
S-Step Program.
He cited the case of a parent
who took too much responsible
1ty. The father, he said, wanted
his son to be perfect, much too
perfect for a 9-year-old. When
the police brough the boy home
Tor some minor offense, the
father told him he would have to
stay in his room every day after
school. What the boy actually
needed was to be allowed to get
out and play instead of trying
to measure up to perfection
that left him desperate and in
secure.
On the positive side Mr.. Beck.
listed these three steps to cope
with juvenile delinquency:
l. Basic prevention, keeping
the problem from arising. This
involves helping the parents to
provide security for themselves
and their children, giving the
children a chance to play, to go
to church, to lead healthy lives.
2. Catching up with the prob
lem as soon as it arises. Mr..
Beck cited Quincy, ILL.,, as one
place that is doing a job along
that line, although it has no
large social welfare setup. There
as soon as. a child is spotted by
a teacher as a likely problem a
team, usually composed of a rec
reation worker, minister and So
cial worker, moves in to stand
by the boy, find out what's both
ering him and what can be done
about it.
3. Coping with the boy who is
already delinquent. This is the
heart of the challenge" because
of the basic attitude of society
toward delinquents.
Hostility Fails.
eff we can see that beneath a
tough exterior is a child we can
do some good" said Mr.. Beck,
''but if we meet hostility with
hostility we're lost"
Mr.. Beck was asked what a
parent can do when he expects
his child to obey certain rules
and the boy down the street
doesn't have to obey those rules.
He replied by citing what was
done in Shaker Heights, Ohio.
There. he said. the parents got
together and after considerable
argument established an area of
agreement on minimum rules
they would all expect their chill
dren to obey.
