Delinquency Group
To Air Problem Of
Runaway Parents

The Senate's Juvenile Delin-
quency subcommittee yesterday
announced plans for public hear
ings during March on the prob
lens of runaway fathers and
comic books.
Dates and places for the hear
ings are yet to be determined
except that an inquiry into par
ents charged with fight to avoid
the cost of supporting their chill
dren would be held in Washing
ton.
Senator Hendrickson. Repub-
lican, of New Jersey. head of tire
inquiry group. said Federal gov
eminent witnesses would take
the stand to discuss this issue.
Public Concern Cited.
The New Jersey Senator and
three other Senator's are CO.
sponsoring legislation designed to
deter the Interstate movement
of parents in default on support
payments for their offspring.
Similar measures are also under
study by the District Committees
of Congress.
The other Senators sponsoring
such legislation are Chairman
LANCER Of the Senate Judiciary
Committee and Democratic SEN
ators Keafuver of Tennessee and
Hennings of Missouri.
Senator Hendrickson said there
was considerable public concern
over the possibly harmful effects
on juveniles from the comic
books.
5000 Units Interviewed.
Nearly 5000 persons or organ
izations dealing with the prob
lens Of delinquency, he said, had
been interviewed by the Senate
subcommittee on these and other
questions. The reaction. he said,
showed somewhat divided opin-
ion as to whether comic books
had any significant effect on
delinquency problems.
The overwhelming reaction
from the general public, however.
Chairman Hendrickson said, re-
flected serious opposition to Ger
tain types of comic book litera-
ture. He said his subcommittee
had received thousands of un-
solicited letters on the subject.
Senator Hendrickson said the
comic book hearings may be
held in New York City where
many of the publishing houses
