The Michigan Legislature at
Lansing passed a new law last
May, to be effective this month.
making parents responsible UP to
$500 for acts of vandalism by
their children. Don't be sur
prised il other States follow suit.
This was the mood I found
everywhere. People are tired of
taking juvenile destructiveneSs
lying down.
In the face Of an epidemic of
wreck and ruin-with youngsters
sacking schoolhouSes, ravaging
parks, burning new houses and
deflling churches-the American
people are tired of endless dia-
lecticS. They're weary Of the de-
bates on punishment versus cod
ding.
They want one thing: Respon-
sibility.
This, above all the debris Of a
plague of vandalism, stands out
as the keystone in the strong
arch Of society. >~.
Parents must be responsible.
Children must be taught to be
responsible.
Regarded as Therapy.
In juvenile court in Los An
geles the teaching of response
bility is regarded as actual
therapy for children. Take this
case:
Three 17-year-old boys stole
a car, took it on a joy-ride
smashed it up and left it in the
street, an abandoned wreck
They were apprehended. In ju-
venile court, Commissioner Nor
man Holden simply laid the
facts before them. The car be-
1onged to a workingman. He
had no insurance to cover this
damage. AS required in every
code of civilized living, from the
Bible to the laws of California
the boys would have to make
good their misdeed.
Commissioner Holden. a kind
ly, soft-voiced man. explained it
to the youngsters in biblica,
language: They would have etc
make the man whole again"
The damage to the car came
to $3.50. Each lad was required
to pay the man $3.50 and they
were given one years probation
on condition they go to work
earn the money themselves anc
make restitution. They did
They spent the summer vacation
working as laborers-and they
paid the man back.
They'll Think Now.
Rest assured, they'll think
twice before taking a car on g
joy-ride again. They have re-
ceived, for $3.50 tuition. the
equivalent of a college course ir

by their own efforts. and bring
it in to the probation officer.
"It won't cover all the damage.
They are too young TO raise that
much money" he explained.
But they are bringing in their
20 cents a week by earning it at
home doing chores, or helping
out the neighbors. It's making
them think about it every week
Of the year.
Is this punishment?
That's beside the point" ,"
Commissioner Holden concluded.

It is questionable whether the

they see the child only after he
already has done the damage.
That's why Michigan has
passed its new law. Courts can
teach responsibility after the
fact. But parents must be re-
SponSible before the fact. In
Michigan now, the threat of civil
suit up to $500 is held over them.
In st. Louis, Police Chief
jeremiah O'Connell asserted, "It
parents were made to pay, be-
lieve me, they'd do their jobs
They'd caution their children,
they'd train them"
Chief O'Connell knows what a
salubrious effect a little financial
responsibility can have. Recently
st. Louis parents were required
to repay the city for street lights
and parking meters destroyed by
their children. 1t was clear from
their attitudes that those parents
were going to initiate a new
course of child-rearing from
now on.

gent parent SO much as a sting

Police Commissioner Thomas r.
Sullivan, in Boston. "If a father
had to pay $25 or $50 because Of
some wanton damage committed
by his son, you can be sure he'd

has no law holding parents re-
SponSible for vandalism by their
children Except in cases of con-
tributing to the delinquency of q
minorl. but Commissioner Sulli-
van left no doubt that such a
law is needed.
Making parents financially re-
,sponsible would Immediately put
them more in control of their
children" he said. They'd
want to know where their chill
dren were late at night, who they
were with and what they were
doing. If parents knew just
those three facts. vandalism
would all but disappear"
In New York, the Park Asso-
citation has led a fight-without
success so far-to put the follow
ing law on the books: H.
1.-THE parent, guardian or other
person having custody of a
child under the age of 16 years,
who omits to exercise reasonable
diligence in the control Of such
child to prevent such child from
becoming guilty of Juvenile de-
linquency as defined by statute,
where such delinquency consti-
tutes the willful destruction Of
property of the City of New
York, may be fined an amount
commensurate with the damage
done, but in no case to exceed
the sumo of $25."
The law passed the New York
City Council but has thus far
been held up by tie votes in the
Board of Estimate. Park Com
missioner Robert Moses called it
''the most effective single reme-
dy" for vandalism in our city
(which) has reached alarming
PROPORTIONS. The Rev. Norman
Vincent Peale commented, "Ba-
sically the parents are respon-
Sible, and the assessment of a
fine ought to have a Salutary
effect and make them more
aware of their responsibility"

community come in? What about

u. ). Tax Settlement

The Government has agreed to
settle a $587 .237 tax claim aginst
Mrs. Helen Price, widow of for
mer associate Of the late Jimmy
La Fontaine, for $222,913.
Mrs. Price, whose late husband,
Charles Price, was manager of
"Jimmy's Place." a pre-World
War II gambling casino on Bla-
denSburg road just over the Dis
trict line, has concurred in the
settlement, according to papers
on file at the Internal Revenue
Service.
Mr.. Price died in october, 1949.
and the Government began to
examine his finances the follow
ing year.
Mr.. Price, according to the
Government report on the case,
owed taxes totalling $306,838.14
for the years between 1931-1949,
inclusive, except for the year
1912 when his returns were in
order. The Government listed
accumulated penalties at $685.
622.87 for the years 1909 only
because tax returns for the ear
lier period had been destroyed
and amounts involved in other
years were arrived at only by the
cooperation of Mrs. Price, the
report said.
The investigating agent said
Because of the nature of it's
basis for the years 1931-39. no
penalties have been asserted by
the Government :"
In addition. interest charges
ran to 144,776.19.
The compromise offer was ac-
cepted on recommendation of
Kenneth w. Gemmell, acting
chief counsel of Internal Reve-
nue..
The investigation report said
$150,257 was discovered in
safety deposit box at the Park
Road branch of Riggs National
Bank after Mr.. Prices death,
OF this amount $150,OOO was in
$1,000 bills.
The report quoted Mrs. Price
as saying she had examined the
contents of the box five days
before her husbands death and
the amount was in smaller bills.
She expressed the opinion, acF
cordlng to the examiners rec
ords. that the larger bills were
from the estate of La Fontaine
which was being administered at
that time and that they had been
placed in the box by some one
who Illegally gained entry"
Among cash and property
which has been offered to settle
the claim were listed $S3,457.26
cash on deposit in a bank; as
slgnment of a $4,000 claim
against the estate of a Herman
Taylor of Philadelphia: net pro-
ceeds from a $4,000 erdov ment

Burnt Mills Hills subdivision near
Silver Spring; proceeds from
$24,600 in Government savings
bonds with an estimated current
value of about $4,000, and any
refunds from Federal estate
taxes paid in 1851 amounting to
$I1,455.12.

Opposition to Boh|en RoI|inQ
Senators Want to Know if He Was Just an UnderIing
Who Obeyed Instructions, or if He Wrote Them
Constantine Brown:

Since Senator Styles Bridges,
chairman of the Appropria-
tions Committee. warned the
Republican Policy Committee
two weeks ago that he will
vote against confirmation of
Charles Bohlen as Ambassa-
dor to the U. S. S. R., even if
he were the only Senator on
the floor to do so, a growing
opposition has developed in
the Senate against sending the
Ambassador designate to Mos
COW.
Asa result, the Senate For
eign Relations Committee de-
cided on Monday to delay its
report to the Senate for at
least another week.
This decision was based on
the fact that an FBI field in
vestigation had not been COM
pleted. Certain documents
concerning Yalta, which are
said to be in the late Presi-
dent Roosevelt's library at
Hyde Park. also had not yet
reached Senator Ferguson,
who had asked for them.
In the meantime, the senior
Senator from Michigan has
introduced in the committees
record an extract from the
expurgated diary of the late
Secretary of Defense James V.
Forrestal concerning Mr..
Bohlen.
It was dated July 6, 1945,
and mentioned the then Sec
retary of the Navy's conversa-
ton with the then Undersecre-
tary Of State Joseph Grew,
who expressed his satisfaction
that President Truman was
willing to send a message to
the japanese in which the
President made more specific
what was meant by "uncondi-
tional surrender" But Grew
was worried that this plan
might be ditched on the way
to Potsdam by people who &C
company the President, Bch-
len among others, and reflect
the view that we cannot afford
to hold out any clariflcation
of terms to Japan which would
be construed as a desire to get
the Japanese war over before
Russia has an opportunity to
enter" Editors note: at Mr..
Bohlen's Office it was said he
is out of town and could not
be reached for comment0
The Importance attributed
by the Senators to this pas
sage is that heretofore all
those who defended the Yalta
agreement-and Bohlen was
one of it's strong defenders
maintained stoutly that Mr..
Roosevelt had been compelled
to make wide concessions to
Stain. Our top military men
had told him that without
Russia's help we would have
hundreds of thousa sands Of
casualties in a final. assault
Evening star., 1953-03-13

when that country is Russia.
When William Gladstone,
the famous British statesman
in the days Of Queen Victoria,
was once asked why he never
spoke French he replied: II
don't want those rascals to
take advantage of me-"
Neither the linguistic abili-
ties nor the skill of Mr.. Bohlen
are likely to make much i'm
preston on a number of mem
berS of the Senate. They want
to probe the political thinking
of the ambassador designate
and particularly the extent Of
his influence in the last ad-
miniStration in connection with
the policy of appeasement we
adopted toward the U. s. S. r.
Republican Senators feel
strongly that one of the man
dates given President Eisen-
hover by the American electo-
rate was to remedy the ills Of
the Truman administration in
which Secretary of State Ache
son played such a determining
role.
The Senators want to find
out now what was Mr.. Boh-'
lens actual position in the
framing of policies which have
been rejected by the American
electors. Was he a mere For
eign Service officer who obeyed
, instructions. or was he one
of those who formulated those
instructions?
Evening star., 1953-03-13

against Japan. Yet, in June,
1945, the Japan ese were
known to be ready to lay down
their arms, provided the EN-
peror was allowed to remain
on the throne. Mr.. Truman
was ready to interpret publicly
the meaning of unconditional
surrender" along that line but
Mr.. Bohlen and others, ac-
cording to the diary, wanted
the war in the Far East to
continue so that Russia might
have an opportunity to
enter it.
This is an entirely different
picture from what we had
been told before, that we had
to make wide concessions to
Stain in order to get him to
join us and thus save Ameri-
can lives.
Senator Ferguson has not
indicated publicly what State
papers the Senate should have
from Hyde Park. But it is as
sumed that he wants addi-
,tional information about Mr..
Bohlen's actual role in inf1u-
encing American policies when
he was still a junior official in
the State Department.
Heretofore Bohlen's posi-
tion has been described as only
an interpreter. He was one of
the dozen Foreign Service of
f1cers who spoke Russian flu
emily. A number of Senators
are now convinced that since
1914 he was behind-the-
scenes policy maker and had
greatly contributed to the for
mutation of the Yalta agree
ments concerning Poland and
China, among other nations.
Senator Wiley, chairman of
the Foreign Relations Com
mittee, has withstood pressure
to get his committee to report
out Mr.. Bohlen's nomination
as soon as possible. He was
told officially and privately
that it was essential to rush
Mr.. Bohlen to Moscow be-
cause he had known Stain
personally and also spoke Rus
sian well.
Stain is now dead, and
the fact that an ambassador
speaks the tongue of a coun-
try to which he is assigned does
not mean much, particularly
Evening star., 1953-03-13

rehash Yalta. He refused, say
ing he had enough problems
without raking over the ashes
OF the dead past" He also
commented that he had no
particular disagreement with
trying to get along with the
Russians at that time.
Senator Ferguson has now
been permitted to delay the
Bohlen confirmation. The
Senator is up for reelection
next year. and may face the
formidable opposition of Gov.
Mennen Williams. He also has
problems in his own party
where the pro-Eisenhower fac
ton never relished his last
minute convention indorse-
ment Of Senator Taft.
Senator Bridges, who has
come to Senator Ferguson's
aid in the Bohlen matter, also
runs next year in a State, New
Hampshire, where factional-
ism makes a candidates lot
uncertain. New Hampshire
also gave the Eisenhower
band wagon it's first big push.
Politicians agree that if
Senators Taft or Millikin got
tough, the President should
go slow. They see few reasons
for his present indecisiveness.
Meanwhile the anti-enslave-
ment resolution has gone to
earth and Senator Joseph Nc
Carthy merrily pursues the
Voice Of America.
