City Heads 10 Name
Youth Council for
Fight on Delinquency
By Miriom Gutenberg

The Commissioners will issue
an order setting up a Youth
Council with broad authority to
plan and carry out a program
for preventing juvenile delin-
quency. Commissioner Samuel
Spencer said today.
He hopes to complete selec-
ton Of the Council by the end
of next week while exploring
methods of getting personnel to
staff it.
Mr.. Spencer emphasized dur
ing Your Commissioners Re-
port" on Station WMAL-TV last
night that the key to the sue
cess of the days fight on juve-
nile delinquency lies in finding
the right individuals for mem
bership on the Youth Council.
The Commissioners got their
mandate for creation of the
council yesterday at a confer
ence of 100 representatives
drawn from the public agencies
and private organizations con-
cerned with children.
Several speakers during the
conference emphasized the need
for having young people on the
council, possibly even a former
juvenile delinquent.
Commissioner Spencer said last
night there was a great deal to
be said for having "at least one
person on the council who could
give the point of view of the
teen-ager."
He also appeared favorable to-
ward putting businessman on
the council-another proposal
put forward at the conference.
1t seems likely that the men,
bership of the council will include
Welfare Director Gerard M. Shea
Recreation Director Milo Chris
tiansen and Capt. John Ryan.
chief of the police juvenile squad.
A representative of the school
system also will be chosen.
The churches will be repre-
Sented. The Commissioners
may decide to ask the three
large religious groups to get
together and nominate one cler-
gyman to represent them all.
The council also is expected to
include a representative from
United Community Services, a
physician, one or two civic lead
ers and an individual who has
shown special abilities in this
field.

Delinquency Capable
OF Cure, Citizens Told

Juvenile delinquency is a big
problem in the District area but
not one that can't be defeated,
Marjorie r. Thaxter, director of
volunteers of the Department of
Public Welfare, told the Crest
wood Citizens Association last
night.
Reaching the children as in
dividualS, or in small groups, is
a prime necessity in the fight,
Miss Thaxter said. But at pres
ent the Department of Public
Welfare has but one social
worker to care for the needs of
125 children. The average par
entS of two or three children can
imagine the difficulties these
workers face"
Miss Thaxter outlined the
departments volunteer program
designed to give citizens a chance
to aid delinquentS in District
institutions.
Even sending a child a birth
day card may serve a wonderful
purpose" she said. "Some of the
children who receive cards carry
them clenched in their fists for
months, simply because they feel
some one is interested in them.
The meeting was conducted by
DR.. Ashby w. Smith, president,
in the Roosevelt High School,
Thirteenth and Upshur streets
NV.

More Airmen Souqht
By u. ). in Morocco
BY the Assoeioted Press

PARIS, Oct. 8.-France is let
ting only $500 Americans enter
Morocco to man the huge United
States Air Force bases there, and
American officers said today that
number soon won't be enough to
do the job.
Three of the jet bomber and
fighter bases will be finished in
the near future-at a cost of
nearly $500 million. United
States officers say they will need
q marked increase in troops, per-
haps nearly double the $500 now
allowed under present United
States agreements with France.
Two more bases are still to be
built.
French officials say the limit
on troops was agreed to in the
first contract authorizing the
United States to build bomber
bases. This limit will be con-
tinued, one authoritative spokes-
man said, until a status of
forces" agreement can be worked
out covering the operation and
administration of the bases and
control of the military forces
there.
The spokesman said France
will allow no more men on the
bases until a more workable
agreement has been reached.
That now is being negotiated,
but the differences have con-
tinued for two years. When an
agreement is reached, the spokes-
man said, the limit can probably
be raised.

tainment places.
A spokesman for Equity said
the suspension was voted by the
association council Tuesday after
Haynes had failed to answer
three letters asking him why he
listed Santa Barbara, Calf, as
his birthplace on his Equity
membership application.
The explanation was asked
after immigration authorities be-
gan deportation proceedings
against the singer, a native of
Argentina.
The Equity official said mis-
statements on the membership
form call for automatic suS-
pension.
Haynes recently married Rita
Hayworth.
Last week he quit Philadel-
phia night club engagement be-
cause, he said, the Government
had attached all the pay he was
to receive for back income taxes.

Soviet Parry Leaders
Are Victims Of Fear,
Refugees Tell Survey
BY The Assoeiatsd Press

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. g.
A Harvard University study Of
Russia says interviews with So
Wet refugees indicate "the at
moSphere of fear which pervades
Soviet society envelops the Com
muniSt Party itself"
In his book, How Russia Is
Ruled" Prof. Merle Fainsod
draws on reports from hundreds
who have fed through the iron
curtain as well as from his 20
years Of research into Soviet gov
ernment.
Always Threat of Purge.
At the upper levels Of the So
Wet hierarchy, he says, "the
threat Of a purge is ever present
and even the highest Soviet dig
nitarieS live in a milieu (en-
Vironment) of surveillance and
suspicion. No sector Of the elite
is free from worry
Even the notorious Russian
secret police organizations, he
adds, "are themselves subject to
constant scrutiny and inspection
through permeating party con-
trolls. Leading members of the
secret police become tempting
targets for liquidation as they
accumulate the unsavory secrets
of the regime and build up the
power which makes them po-
tential threat to the ruling
group"
The Communist Party "appa-
ratuS itself shares this sense of
insecurity" he says. even the
most adaptive party careerist
runs the risk of decapitation
when the party leadership seeks
scapegoats for unanticipated diff
f1cultieS or purges its senior
leadership in order to create
places for its younger cadreS."
The officer corps of the Rus
sian army is in the same stu
alton, Prof. Fainsod finds:
"ItS loyalty remains a sub
-ject Of constant concern to the
ruling group. Party and police
controls permeate the army.
Former army officers who have
escaped to the West express
repeated resentment against
both political officers and repre-
sentatives of the secret police
and assert that such attitudes
are widely prevalent in the
officer corps"
Double PreSSureS."
Higher bureaucrats, industrial
managers, scientists, profess
sional men and artists all are
under double pressures, he
says, "the fear of the secret
police and the danger of run
ming afoul of party truths in
their work."
The Refugee Interview Prof.
ect, from which the book takes
much of it's material, was made
by Harvard's Russian Research
Center under sponsorship of the
United States Air Force Re-
search and Development Com
mand. Prof. Fainsod is the
center's director of political
studies.

Public School Critics
AssaiIed byProfessor
Before Educators

The American Council on Edu-
cation today heard a strong at
tack by Prof. Herold c. Hunt of
Harvard University on critics of
the Nations public schools. The
council is meeting at the Stat
Ter Hotel.
Prof. Hunt took to task a
group of citizens who, he said,
are using spurious arguments in
attacking the schools.
Cites FURRY of Books.
Citing a current furry of
books which purport to show
that the schools have fallen on
evil ways, the Harvard professor
charged that the critics really
object to paying taxes, or prefer
private and parochial schools to
public, or favor education for
the well-born only, rather than
all of the children.
The most common attack.
Prof. Hunt said, is a demand for
a return to the fundamentals.
This has become, he said, a
cliche, the meaning of which is
not clear because people don't
agree on what is fundamental.
Girls and boys read better
and more today than they ever
have, write more surely, have
greater competency in arithme-
tic and can outspell their ell
derS," Prof. Hunt asserted.
Miss Margaret Clapp of Welles-
ley College criticized tendency
in American education to spend
too much on smoking rooms, rec
reation lounges, fancy Offices
and expensive extracurricular
trivia" g..
Urges End to Boosting.
She said educators should stop
boasting about the size of school
plants and return to the essen
tials.
The Wellesley president said
the Nation had not yet solved the
problem of educating all children
economically without either
catering to mediocrity" or draw
ing class lines in which some
children are privileged to get a
better education. than others.
Without Federal aid, the class
lines may be drawn tighter, she
said, but with such aid, Federal
controls also may be likely.

U. 5. 10 Help Defend
Indian POW Guards

By The AssoeIoted Press

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y, Oct
8.-United States and other
United Nations troops will de-
fend Indian guards and other
members of the Neutral Nations

rea if South Korea unleashes

Mr.. Lodge had mo comment

NeutraIs Say Allies
Are Trying 10 Stall
POW Explanations
By the Assoeiofed Press

SEOUL, Oct. 8.-The Neutral
Nations Repatriation Commits
sion today accused the allies of
trying to stall away more of the
dwindling 90-day period allotted
for interviews with $4,000 war
prisoners who refuse to return
to their homelands.
The NNRC told the United
Nations Command pointedly
that the Reds offered to take
only four days to build an ex-
planation center which the allies
estimated would require month.
The allies offered to build tenn
porary facilities in a week, but
the commission said the Reds
proposed building in four days
permanent center which the
UNC said it could complete
in month.
Truce terms specify that the
explanation period ends Christ
mas Eve. The allies have turned
down repeated NNRC and Red
requests for an extension.
One Obstacle Remains.
In a letter to the UNC to-
day. the NNRC said bluntly:
The commission is not pre-
pared to be a party to the cur
tailment of the period par
ticularly in view of the fact that
the U. N. command is unable
to agree to an extension. :"
The construction Of a salts
factory explanation center has
delayed the start of persuasion
attempts since September rs,
and apparently is the only re-
manning obstacle.
Meanwhile, another Indian
letter rejected the Allied charge
that the commission was operat-
/ ing on the theory that most of
the prisoners actually desire
repatriation"
The Indian chairman of the
f1ve-nation commission, 1t. Gen.
K. S. Thimayya, said the COM
mission made no such assump-
ton"
Gen. Thimayya also rejected
a Communist charge that the
captives have not been allowed
Ito express their free will"
"Open Mind" Claimed.
Gen. Thimayya said, in a let
ter replying to one from former
U. N. Commander Gen. Mark
Clark that the commission had
kept an "open mind" and is de-
termined to gain for the pris-
oners complete freedom of
choice without duress or CO.
ercion."
Gen. Thimayya also noted that
the 1T captives, who have al
ready changed their minds, in
dicate that not all of the 22,600
Red POWS want to refuse re-
patriation.
He said none of the prisoners
in the camp dared openly" to
ask for repatriation for fear of
repriSals from other captives.
An allied spokesman said there
would be no immediate comment
from the UNC on either of the
Indian letters.
No Hint of Fears.
Neither of the Indian state
mentS referred to a growing
nervousness over South Korean
demonstrations and actions
aimed at the Indian custodial
force.
In a letter to the NNRC the
UNC asked again that allied
and Red newsmen be allowed to
visit the stockades where the
prisoners of both sides are held.
Meanwhile, an Indian COM
mand spokesman said it has mo
information" on the arrival of
any letters or cables to the %
Americans and l Briton who are
among the 335 allied POWs who
refuse to return home.
He said none has reached In
dian headquarters in Korea and
again confirmed that all per-
sonal messages will be delivered.
