They also visited Paris a n d
spent a week in Germany. Mrs.
Whitmer states that the wealth

siderate. During the 70 d a y S
spent there only II days there
was sunshine. Many days were
cold and rainy. One day in
July when they were taking a
trip, they were haulted by snow
drifts three feet high in a
mountain pass.
They did enjoy the wonder
full museums there and found
the old homes, some of which
have been occupied since the
18th century, very interesting.
Their trip was made by plane
and they report the return OF
unusual interest. They e + |
Zurich and stopped in Paris.
Because of storms, the plane
travelled north and a landing
was made in Iceland. The next
stop was Gander and fr m
there to Boston the flying was
rather rough.
Mrs. Whitmer states h a |
when they arrived in New York
the U. S. looked very good tc
them and they were glad to be
home but with memories OF q
wonderful summer.

Excerpts From Report
On Need for Data

These excerpts from the COM
mittee'S report cover the Welfare
Departments need for informa-
ton from the court:
THE average delinquent child
committed to the Department of
Public Welfare may readily be
placed in one of the industrial
home schools. In about 10 per
cents of the cases, however. an
industrial home school is not
suitable for the child, and the
child must then be sent to the
receiving home to await final
placement.
Advance notice in these alb
normal cases would avoid delay
and confusion in the commence
ment of rehabilitation. Officials
OF the department have assured
the committee that it is not nee
essary to have legal custody of
the child in order to initiate
plans for his placement in pri-
vate. institution.
by way of illustrating the
Importance Of liaison in this
respect, the committee notes that
several weeks ago the Depart
-ment Of Public Welfare received
custody of a 14-year-old boy
upon commitment by the Juve-
nile Court; the department had
no advance information about
the child. AS the child was physi-
~cally turned over to the repre-
sentative of the Department of
Public Welfare. the court social
worker suggested that the child
be checked because he was
suspected Of active tuberculosis.
Problems Involved.
Had this suspicion been cor
rect, it would not have been pos
sible to place the child in any
Department of Welfare institu-
ton. In order to give the child
a place to sleep that very night,
the department would have been
forced to press for his imme-
diate admittance to the over
crowded tuberculosis ward at
Gallinger Hospital (now called
District General HospitaD. In
fact. it developed that this par
ticular child was not infectious,
but the case illustrates the prob
lens that can arise when an abb,
normal case is turned over to the
department without any advance
notice.
Ill or physically handicapped
children, pregnant girls and
mentally retarded children are
examples of the abnormal cases
Of which the Department Of Pub

tween the court staff and well
fare workers. Mr.. Shea wants
advance information from the
court on children likely to be
committed to the Welfare De-
partment. so plans can be made
for them. He also wants to
know whether deserting fathers
under court non-support orders
actually are paying out to well
fare families.
On the question of giving ad-
vance information on children
likely to be committed. Judge
Cockrill told the Senate Juve-
nile Delinquency Subcommittee:
"The court feels that such
practice is contrary to the law
and is neither legally sound nor
practically feasible" :"
Interpretation Disputed.
After an investigation of the
entire picture of juvenile crime
. and correction here. the Council
on Law Endorsements Commit
. tee on Juvenile Crime came out
fatty in disagreement with Judge
Cockrill's Interpretation of the
law.
Nowhere in the statute" said
the committee, "iS it required
that a child be legally commit
ted to an agency or institution
before the institution becomes
eligible to receive information
respecting the child
Judge Cockrill, testifying be-
fore the Senate group on the
question of giving the Welfare
Department information about
fathers under court order, said
-that IF in a given case. the pro-
baton officer feels that discus
.sion would benefit the proba-
toner or his family the case
might be discussed. She added:
. Since the court functions in
an authoritative role in contrast
to public or private agencies, it
must take the responsibility for
determining the cases and situ-
ations in which the sharing of
information or joint planning is
desirable"
The Committee on Juvenile
Crime brushed this one off with:
''ThiS is a clear case for free
interchange of information be-
tween the staff of the two agen-
cies lcourt and Welfare)."
Duplication Seen.
The committee pointed out
there are socia! workers in the
two agencies working separately
with members of the same fam
lily. dealing separately with the
same problems. This obviously
was one of the situations it had
in mind in discussing waste of
public FUNDS.
The committee, in delving into
the question of giving the We'll
fare Department advance infor-
NATION on children, concentrated
on the "abnorrnal cases" which
require special placement. At
present, the Welfare Depart
ment gets its first information
about the child the day he is
committed-the core of Mr..
Shea's protest.
The committee also expressed
the view that court workers are
not adequately informed about
the treatment that can be given
by the correction agencies, as
well as their diverse policies.
special facilities and changing
problems. The committee rec
commended regular meetings be-
tween officials of the court and
.of the correction agencies to dis
-cuss what these agencies have to
offer. It was noted that no such
meetings now take place.

lie Welfare should receive no.
tice in advance of commitment"
The committee suggested that
court and welfare officials draw
up written criteria for abnormal
cases and specify what uses may
be made of information obtained
from the court. Individual court
workers, the committee said,
should then be given full au-
thority to confer informally with
welfare personnel about such
cases. The committee made it
plain that its recommendations
do not require forwarding ad-
vance copies of the social studies
prepared by court workers. The
report added:
1.-The proposed procedure does
not in any way require the court
to commit itself to make a par
ticular disposition of the case
under discussion. The suggested
conferences will be completely
informal: the conclusions
reached, If any. will be tenta-
tive; and indeed the Judge will
have had no part in the discus
sion. The advance discussion OF
available facilities will remain
wholly unrelated to the evidence
presented at the hearing and
to the judges duty to comply
with the statute.
No Prohibition Seen.
"The committee is satisfied
that (the law in no way
prohibits the procedures sug-
gested. The statutory provision
does not distinguish between
children whose cases have been
acted upon by the court and
those who are under prehear-
ing study.
Moreover, an agency or in
stitution which may be asked
to care for a child certainly
seems to the committee to have
a legitimate interest in the pro-
lection, welfare. treatment and
rehabilitation of the child. No
where in the statute is it re-
quired that a child be legally
committed to an agency or in
stitution before the institution
becomes eligible to receive in
formation respecting the child.
The manifest and sole purpose
of the provision is to protect the
child and further his welfare.
1T is the opinion of the COM
mittee that to withhold infor-
nation in cases where such in
formation would help the child
and hasten his rehabilitation is
not within the intendment of
the statute"
The committee urged that II
the law is interpreted in such
way that its proposal for ad-
vance information is prohibited,
specific legislation should be
drafted to make it possible.

Lioison Need Cited in
Non-Support Cases

The report took up the ques-
ton of information in non-sup-
port cases as another illustra-
ton of the need for liaison". be-
tween the Welfare Department
and the court.
Juvenile Court issues support
orders to fathers in actions
brought by destitute wives. Then
court probation officers work
with the families not only to
see that fathers pay the orders
but to help the families work out
their personal and budget prob
lens.
The Welfare Department,
through its public assistance di-
vision, gives financial aid to
mothers with dependent chill
dren and assists them in their
personal and budget problems.
Where a mother receiving such
aid also gets support from her
husband under a court order,
public assistance deducts the
amount of the order from her
grant. The report, after sum-
marizing these procedures. COM
mented:
1T can readily be seen that
coordination of the efforts of
the two agencies is imperative.
The public assistance division
needs to know the amount of as
sistance to which mother is
entitled under a court order and
whether she is actually receiv-
ing the money. The personnel
of the Juvenile Court should be
placed in position to realize
that leniency toward the father
will come out of the public
purse D.. Furthermore there are
social workers in the two agen-
cies working separately with
members of the same family,
dealing separately with the same
problems.
Case for Information,
"This is a clear case for free
interchange of informa ton be-
tween the staffs of the two
agencies. In the past, such CO.
operation has been lacking. The
committee understands that
some steps have recently been
taken toward liaison. in this
area. but the committee sees no
barrier to complete and imme-
diate liaison. If any such barrier
should appear, the committee
recommends that it be removed
by legislation"
The committee concluded it's
section on the need for increased
tco-operation between the court
and police, welfare and correc-
ton agencies with this COM
ment:
"Co-operation and mutual un-
derStanding are essential to the
successful operation of the Juve-
nile Court system. Every agency
responsible for a segment of this
stem has, in the final analysis,
the same ultimate goal. If any
are to achieve this goal, all must
do so.
This committee recommends
that the Council on Law En-
forcement take every step in its
power-that it secure legislation
II neceSsary-to achieve an
organizational framework in
which free discussion and CO.
operation become natural COM
ponents of the juvenile law en-
forcement program"
