New Council Is Set
To Act on Juvenile
Crime Problems
By Miriam Gutenberg

The new Commissioners Youth
Council will be an action group
because we've gone far beyond
the talking stage" on juvenile
delinquency. its chairman, Mrs.
Henry Grattan Doyle. said to-
day.
Mrs. Doyle was elected head of
the 15-member council at it's
first session yesterday afternoon.
The group was named by the
Commissioners to coordinate ef-
forts to prevent juvenile delin-
quency and to develop neigh
borhood task forces to cope with
the problem.
Mrs. Doyle said the next ses-
sion Of the council, scheduled
for 10:30 am. Wednesday, def
nitely will go into the question
of setting up area committees.
The Commissioners left it to
the council to decide whether
these area committees should be
appointed in every section of the
city or only in selected areas.
The boundaries of these areas
also were left to the council.
Spencer Greets Group.
Commissioner Samuel Spencer,
in greeting the members at their
swearing-in ceremony yesterday,
told them the Commissioners
have given the council great
f1exibility but that it is vital to
set up the area committees.
The question of whether the
whole city or only certain areas
should get the anti-delinquency
program was not discussed by
the council yesterday, but there
were indications that the ma
jority of council members be-
lieVe every area of the city should
be included.
Under the Commissioners or
der, these area committees shall
study the problem of juvenile de-
linquency and develop and exc
cute program to reduce and
control it in that area" The
councils job, after setting up the
areas and appointing the area
! committees, will be to evaluate
and coordinate their work and
establish their overall policies.
Reports Sought.
The council decided to get a
number of reports on various
phases of the problem and what
is being done about it elsewhere.
But Mrs. Doyle emphasized these
are background for homework"
and that the group wants to get
into operation rather than more
| study.
She said the councils sessions
will be open to the press because
it is important to keep the public
informed of the councils delib-
erationS.
Also elected at the session were
Ferdinand V. Grayson, executive
director of United Community
Services, to be vice chairman,
and Roscoe Evans, principal of
Shaw Junior High School, to be
secretary.

Delinquency Absurd

Solid statistics disprove the
"essy answers" for juvenile de-
linquency, a national expert on
the problem declared yesterday.
Bertram M. Beck, director of
the special juvenile delinquency
project sponsored by the Chill
dren'S Bureau, branded as alb
Surd the widely-held ideas that
children become delinquent be-
cause of irresponsible parents,
poor housing, modern education
and court coddling.
Addressing the National League
to Promote School Attendance,
he asked:
Does it make sense to claim
that parental responsibility
grew at a rapid rate from 1910 to
1912, that parents remained ir-
responsible until 1916, then sud-
denly became very responsible,
diminishing delinquency appre-
ciably by 1913, when new wave
OF responsibility set in?'
Reflect Tensions of Time.
Mr.. Beck gave another ex-
planation for the rise, sharp
decrease and then sharp increase
of juvenile delinquency. He said
there is a definite undeniable
correlation between delinquent
behavior and a world at war or
close to war. The child, he said,
reflects the uncertainties, ten
sions and hostilities of the age.
He also debunked the Chicago
Plan" which gives boys a taste
Of Jail.
1.-The most telling reply to
this" he. said. "is the simple
fact that if putting children in
unpleasant jails could solve de-
linquency, our country would be
free of this problem. for children

New York Program.
The council decided to send
for the report of the New York
Youth Council on Reaching the
Unreached." Mrs. Doyle, who
watched the New York group in
operation, told the council New
York has a budget of $2.5 million
a year for its delinquency pre-
vention program.
Several council members said
they want to know the extent
of the problem here. The four
public officials on the council
Welfare Director Gerard M.
Shea, Recreation Director Milo
F. Christensen, School Supt.
Hobart M. Corning and Capt.
John F. Ryan, head of the police
Juvenile Squad--Were asked to
bring in reports on that.
The council also decided to
consult with the Children'S S
Bureau to find out what efforts
to combat juvenile delinquency
have been effective elsewhere.
Mr.. Grayson said the council
should decide what part it
should play in connection with
the Senate Juvenile Delin-
quency Subcommittee, which
opens hearings here late next
month and which yesterday
named it's own advisory COM
mittee of citizens to help in its
Washington investigation.

Central Agency Plan
Urged for Fight on
Delinquency Here

Creation of co-ordinated
youth services board here to
search out and aid probable ju-
venile delinquents was urged last
night by Henry J. Palmieri, di-
rector of social work for the
Juvenile Court.
THE plan would permit a
central agency to use all exist
ing community resources before
present Offices are enlarged and
new ones set up," Mr.. Palmieri
explained.
Mr.. Palmieri spoke of the plan
at a panel discussion on Be
havior Problems of Children, u
sponsored by Council B, Area q
of the Parent-Teacher Council
Persons skilled in the study
of childhood behavior would be
placed in the streets and areas
not now reached by Juvenile
Court and police officials, he
said. Youngsters could be
taught right from wrong before
they found themselves juvenile
delinquentS, he added.
Suggests UCS Test.
"The United Community Serv-
ices might wen be the group to
test such a program" Mr.. Pal
mieri said.
He suggested such a central
agency program should be tried
in neighborhood with a high
delinquency rate before plan
could be devised to cover the
entire city. Trained workers in
the streets would seek the aid
of PTAS, civic groups, parents
and youths themselves, he said.
Mr.. Palmieri said similar pro-
grams are being used in New

Of such a central agency, Mr..
Palmieri said the 10-to-17-year

The SOVIET PLOT TO STEAL IRAN
Continued tTOm preceding page
UNITED PRRas

ing men in Iran have been bribed to prop
agandize for the Soviet
Not long ago, prominent Iranian pro-
fessor, noted as an anti Communist, pub
ished an article in a Tehran newspaper
attacking the us. fMeign-aid program as an
American device for enslaving the Iranian
people. This article created an immense stir
as "an honest expression of anti-American
sentiment in Iran"
O,OOO Pay-sff
1HE article was actually written by
Vladimir Medevev, correspondent for Tass,
the Russian news agency, at the orders of
the Embassy propaganda chief, a man named
Denisov.
Denisov paid the professor $4,000 for
the use Of his name.
Pamphlets and posters are another means
the Embassy uses to get the Soviet message
across. It prints millions of them right in the
Embassy compound.
It also makes use of the pulpit. Inside the
Soviet Union today, there is a secret school
for training religious leaders of every de-
nomination. Each year, scores of Soviet
Azrbaijanians are taught here to be mullahs
(Mohammedan priests). When their train
ing is completed, they are sneaked across
the border.
When these mullahs preach the "Soviet
party line" it has great effect upon the
devout Iranian Moslems.
The Kremlin doesn't miss bet in the
religious field. Although the Christian popu-
lation of Iran is small, it includes many
merchants of considerable influence The
Kremlm makes sure that they get propa-
gandized IN church. too.
Inasmuch as the Orthodox Church in
Iran is under the direction of the Bishop of
Soviet Armenia, this is not difficult. The
Bishop assigns only Communist priests to
the Iranian parishes!
1t takes big money to underwrite pro-
gram as vast as this. In one year alone, the
Embassy poured over $10O, ZOO. 900 into its
underground operations in Iran.
Where does this money come from? You'll
be surprised to hear = not from the Soviet
Union.
The Kremlin insists that every Soviet
Ambassador finance his espionage and sub
versive activities locally! The ambassadors
are rated on how well they do this.
In Iran, the money is now raised chiefly
by smuggling. Rubies, sapphires and other
jewels are smuggled into the country by

men inside the government to use their
influence to get cabinet into power made
up only Of rabid nationalists pledged to oust
the British.
The fun resources of the Soviet apparatus
were thrown into this campaign. The
appointment Of DR.. Mohammed Mossadegh
as Prime Minister IN April, 1851, stemmed
in part from it. Not that Mossadegh is
Communist. Far from it. He despises the
Reds But the Soviet organization knew of
his fanatical hatred for the British and threw
its support to him. Today. with Abadan
shut down and the Iranian economy stag
gering, you can see how well the Soviet
campaign has worked.
Peint koux IN the SOCiet program is q
concerted effort TO break dOsCn IGsU and
order in Iran. Terrorism, like the attempted
assassination of the Shah and the successful
murder of the anti-Soviet Prime Minister
Ali Razmara IN 1851, is one phase of it.
Mob action is another.
You've read about the riots that have
swept Tehran and other Iranian cities in
recent years. The newspapers have said that
these riots were started by nationalist ex-
tremists The truth is that most Of them
were carefully planned inside the Soviet
Embassy by a man named Ishchenko,
veteran official of the Soviet secret police.
lSHcEENKo decides when a riot will best
serve the Soviet's ends and gives directions
to his agents to get one going at such-and-
such place on such-and-such day.
When such a command is given, the
Soviet-subsidized press starts whipping the
people up to fever pitch. Then, on the ap-
pointed day, a few well-Iained agitators are
sent out to make street-corner speeches.
That was how the pro- Western Prime
Minister Ahnad Ghavam was ousted from
Office last summer. Riotous mobs compelled
the Shah to dismiss him.
have seen these riots charted as care
fully as battle plans.
Chiefly, though, the Soviet uses the riots
to sap the Iranian peoples confidence in
their government.
Point Five in the SOriet program Is
propaganda, unmatched for thorough
ness as sUelINGs seriousness.
Scores of Iranian newspapers and maga-
zines are being secretly subsidized by the
Soviet Embassy; some of the most outstand-
