Mexicon Changes
Another change in foreign
Chief Executives is bringing
changes in Washington, and
Mexican Ambassador and Sc
nora de la Colina will be leaving
within a fortnight. The de la
Colinas have been very popular
in Washington during the years
they have lived here. The AM
baSSador came first as Counselor
Of the embassy in the early '40s
and since has served as Minister
Counselor. then became minister
and in January 40 he was made
ambassador.
Their departure will bring un-
happiness here but the fact that
he has been appointed perma-
nent delegate to the United
Nations and they go only as far
as New York will be compensa-
ton. 1t is so simple to come to
Washington for a week end now,
and then.
Sonora de la Colina will be
hostess at tea tomorrow after
noon in the embassy. Other
parties are being planned for
this very friendly couple and
Tuesday afternoon she will be
honored by the Spanish -Portu-
gese Study Group at its meeting
at the Pan American Union.
Successor Named
Coming to take Senior de la CO.
lina'S place in this Capital will be
Senior Manuel Tello, who has
been Minister of Foreign Affairs.
He is no stranger in Washing
ton as he came here not too long
ago to attend the conference of
Foreign Ministers. Sonora, de
Tello was with him on this trip
and they made friends here
wherever they were met. No time
is set for their arrival but they
probably will come early in

The reporter, Etienne Dupuch,

the water near Spanish Cay,
Joe Mccarthy, his wife and a
number of men could be seen
hustling out of a house on the
seashore and descending the
Jagged coral rocks toward an

shore.
Mccarthy helped the men

Boatmen MiSunderstandS.
Mr.. Dupuch wrote that the
boat picked up the passengers
from the plane and as it headed
back toward shore Senator and
Mrs. Mccarthy made a beeline
for the house and another man
ran along the Shoreline signal

Luckily the boatman did not

calm inlet a few hundred yards
up the shoreline."
The reporter went ashore and
finally persuaded Ben T. Lamp

him to the house. Again Senator
Mccarthy reported he did not
want to be interviewed.
AS the truck started back
toward the beach, Mr.. Dupuch

He apologized for not being
able to be a bit more co-opera-

By the AssoeiGtsd Pres.

MOSCOW, Oct. 7.-American
correspondents in Moscow must
pay income taxes hereafter-and
the ruling is being made retro

ready to leave the Soviet Union.
Leonid F. Ilychev, chief of the
press department of the Foreign
Ministry, informed the CORES
pondents of the action.
"Since Soviet correspondents
are being taxed in the United
States, we consider it a matter
of reciprocity that you now also
pay the Soviet rate" Mr.. Ilychev
said.
The correspondents will be the
only Americans in Moscow fac
ing the tax. Mr.. Ilychev said
the tax will take effect for three
recent arrivals as from the date
of their accreditation. Back
taxes to October, 1852, are being
assessed against Harrison Sails
bury Of the New York Times and
Henry Shapiro of United Press.
Mr.. Salisbury is leaving today
for an extensive home leave. and
Shapiro is leaving the Soviet
Union for good.
Mr.. Ilychev said the tax will
be fixed by legislation, and prob
ably will be 10 to 13 per cent.
He SAID Soviet correspondents in
the United States-he estimated
there are about 10-are taxed 20

Mr.. Gutknecht. who was
elected States Attorney of Cook
County last year, was himself a
judge for Is years. He heard
close to a million cases, includ-
ing many where youth behavior
was involved.
He formed three conclusions
about why youngsters go hay
wire:
81. Lack of parental control
due to ignorance or Indifference.
| 20. Defiance of police author
ity, stemming from the knowl-
edge that they can successfully
defy the police because of ulti-
mate leniency at the police sta
ton or in the courts.
"3. A lessened fear of court
appearances because of the
growing feeling. based, unfor-
tunately, too often on fact, that
in court the young defendant
will get another and another and
another chance"
No More COddIing.
It did not take long for Mr.
Gutknecht to serve notice that
Chicago's coddling days were
over. When juvenile gangs were
over running the city last April,
wrecking property. terrorizing
small businessmen, the new
prosecutor issued his battle
orders:
MY reports are that parents
say they cannot control these
youngsters. If the parents can't,
the State will have to-and will.
When youngsters make a mock
| cry of law enforcement it is
time for something drastic to
be done, and punishment had
better be substituted for cod
dling!"
Among the first juveniles to
feel the sting were five boys who
had set off a tear gas bomb in a
restaurant on Chicagos South
Side.

Todoy's vondoIismx
BY Howard Whitmon

Chicago took it on the chin
year after year, was finally
floored last spring-and came
up swinging. Unable to stand up
any other way under the pum-
melting of juvenile vandalism, car
stealing, and crimes of violence.
Chicago announced a new plan.
It was going to throw delinquents
in jail.
Thus the wheel had turned
full circle. Twenty years ago in
corrigible kids were thrown into
jail quite regularly. Then began
the era of enlightenment and
the CRY, "there is no such thing
as bad boy" was raised across
the land. Sweet reasonableness
and understanding became the
new fashion. And now - what
with parental spelling and court
coddling-the incorrigible young
sters are here again. And Chi
cago is throwing them in jail.
Not full scale jail sentences,
you understand. States Attorney
John Gutknecht, who originated
the plan, merely wants lawleSs
children to have a "taSte of
JAIL" a "tang of punishment" !"
So. with the collaboration of
boys court, he sends them to the
old cheesebox of a prison, Cook
County Jail, for two weeks to 80
days. He lets them stew there
while their cases are continued
in court.
Leniency Breeds COckinesS.
'Leniency in the past has
made these kids so cocky they
defy the courts. This will take
the cOckiness out of them" Mr.
Gutknecht insisted. "They may
only be in jail for two weeks OF
/ so-but they'll know they've been
! in jail. 1t is far better than the
old system of letting them walk
right out. -
Under Mr.. Gutknecht's Chi
cago Plan. the young offender
after his taste of jail-is brought
back to court. The "continu-
ance" is over and the trial is
held. Usually chastened by his
experience behind bars. the boy
then is put on probation.
He gets no prison record. AL
the record shows is a "continu-
ance." His stay in Jail is more
or less unofficial, for the plan is
explained to his parents and OF
his lawyer when he first comes
to court. They agree not to take
him out under bail. They partic-
ipate in the plan.
Mr.. Gutknecht launched the
Chicago Plan the first week ir
June, aiming it first at auto
thieves. BY Monday, June Is
