Sitter Penalty for Delinquency
Urqed by D. c. Penal Official

Donald Clemmer, director of
the Department of Corrections.
yesterday urged a big stick
attitude toward sophisticated
and hardened juvenile delin-
quentS.
Addressing a group of social
workers of the United Commu-
nifty Services Corrections Section.
he admonished:
what the District needs right
now is a strong hand to combat
these sophisticated youngsters.
These kids are literally getting
away with murder"
His remarks were included in
an unsuccessful attempt to con-
vince the corrections section to
adopt resolution in favor of
proposed legislation taking the
waiver power for juveniles away
from Judge Edith Cockrill and
placing it in the hands of United
States Attorney Leo A. Rover.
See Backward Step.
The group, however, unani-
mously opposed the proposed
law. 1t said taking the waiver
powers away from Juvenile
Court would be "a deplorable
step backward in the treatment
of juvenile delinquency"
"What these kids need is a
jolt while they are young" Mr..
Clemmer asserted. I'VE have to
make them realize that. when
the law reaches out a hand, it
means business"
He said prison would give the
more serious juvenile offenders a
sense of discipline while they are
still young enough to benefit by
the lesson.
Even the best of penal inSti-
tutions are hard" he declared.
Life there is so regimented it
is unpleasant"
Some Institutions a Lark.
He contrasted this type of life
to that in juvenile homes and
schools that do not have the ia
cilities to handle the "Sophisti-
Gated or hardened" juvenile, as
contrasted to the ordinary way
ward youth.
Juvenile institutions are a
lark for these sophisticated Of
Tenders" he said. The National
Training School is an easy place
to do time-the kids will tell you
that"
In speaking for jail terms for
the hard-t o-handle juveniles, Mr..
Clemmer said those affected by
the waiver law would go to adult
institutions better equipped to
handle them than most juvenile
homes are. He said the youths
would. in fact. benefit in the
realization such life was not a
joke
Henry J. Palmieri. Juvenile
Court director of social work, OPP
posed Mr.. Clemmer's views. He
asserted that placing the waiver
decision in the hands of men
trained as lawyers would be a
step back to the 18th century.
The lawyers looking at oral
and written data would tend
to focus not on the individual,
but on the offense." Mr.. Pal
mieri said.
To Adult Courts.
The proposed legislation would
affect waivers from Juvenile
Court to the adult court for 16
and II year olds only.

By Bill Glib

On Feb. 23-thatS next tues
day-there is going to be a special
election to select commissioners
for the Florida Keys Aqueduct
District. The future OF Monroe
County and Key West depends upon
our water supply so make no mis-
take about the Importance of this
job. Every registered voter should
be sure that he casts his ballot.
Fortunately. the slate of candidates
is composed of some mighty fine
men and it shouldn't be too hard
for you to select five names of
honest, upright, capable citizens
from amongst the eleven running
in the election.
There seems to be a certain
amount of confusion around town
regarding who can vote. Quite
few folks believe that only free
holders are eligible. This erroneous
idea might have been caused by
the recent $4,000, 900. bond issue
which was defeated. And then
again, it might be a deliberate
plan on the part of one or more Of
the candidates to circulate such
a rumor in order to keep the ma
jority of voters away from the polls
Nevertheless, let's get the facts
straight for once-every registered
citizen is eligible to go to the polls
and cast his vote!
According to law, the new Aque-
duct District Board will have no
power and draw no salary. Don't
let this item fool you into being
a "Stay-at-home" on election day.
Laws can be changed and the wat.
er situation in Key West is too SER
ious to allow the peoples choice Of
commissioners to be made mock
cry of by not giving them the pow
er to execute their duties.
Go the the polls next Tuesday
and elect the men of your choice!

CONDITIONS pEPLoRED
Editor, The Citizen

Editor, The Citizen
| have been coming to Key West
during the winter months for the
past five years and have found it
very pretty and restful city, how
ever / do have occasion to wonder
now and then at the policies that
have and are being adopted by the
county administration. / do not
contend to be an expert at county
administration but being a former
member of the Chamber of Com
merce of one of our largest eastern
cities. I'm at a loss to see the
reason for some of the policies
adopted by the appointed represen-
tatives of the people of Monroe
County.
The airline controversy Is one
that l think should have been CIV
en- more consideration before re-
quiring the airlines to forfeit fifty
cents per passenger landed at the
county terminal. I'm. certain that
you do not require the services of a
financial expert to point out that
many dollars in tourist trade have
been denied this city by just this
action.
For the paltry sum Of fifty cents
which the airline righteously and
Stubbornly refuses TO pay, thou
sands of dollars have been lost to
the city. Any member of the local
Chamber of Commerce should rea-
lie that the location of Key West
and the limited means of getting
to it, makes it much more diff
cult to attract outside interest.
When the airline cut down their
flights into Key West one of the
very few means of coming here
was almost completely done away
with.
In the January 18th issue Of your
paper noticed a picture of a con-
tractor who allegedly was beaten
on the head by a policeman so sew
erely that it required four stitches
to mend the wound. 1t doesn't
speak very well either for the city
nor the police force when such tao
tics are used to apprehend those
who violate minor city. ordinances.
In past visits here / was under
the impression that the service
personnel were quite perturbed a.
bout the treatment received at the
hands of the local police. During
this visit / have had the oppor-
tunity to renew acquaintenances
with both officer and enlisted
friends and have been informed
that the city has undergone quite
a change and that now instead of
working against each other as be-
fore the city and the Navy appear
to be working with each other. This
undoubtedly can only be attributed
to the fine cooperation of the May
or and his associates with the Ma
val commands in the area.
My reasons for taking such an
interest in Key West are purely
personal but l do feel that many
others will agree with me. l have
always liked your city and upon
retirement intend to make my
home here. I'd like to see Key
West a place to be real proud Of
and one which because of its many
attractions would find tourists re.
turning year after year.
Sincerely yours,

Income Tax

/
In an effort to fit the tax re.
turns to the differing needs of the
more than $4,000, 900 persons who
must file them, three types of re,
turns have been provided - Form
1O40A, Short Form 1O4O, and Long.
Form 1910.
The law expects you to pay your
correct tax - no more - no less
1t will pay you to think for a mo.
ment which of these types of re.
turns is the best and easiest form
In your case. To do this you need
to consider the size OF your in.
come, the sources of your income
your eligibility to deduct and re,
Iimbursed expenses from wages
and the size of your nonbusiness
deductions, such as contributions
medical expenses, etc. The tax
table used in computing the tax
on Form 104OA and Short Form
llO40 automatically allows you ap.
proximately 10 per cent of your
income to cover your nonbusiness
deductions.
Income Less Than $1,000
I. Form 1040A This is the sim.
plest return of the three. If YOU
file this form, you do not need to
figure you own tax. From your
answers to the questions, the Dis.
trlct of Internal Revenue will fig.
ure your tax for you, and send YOU
a bill or a refund. You may use
the Form 1040A if your total in.
come was less than SIS, 900 and con.
sisted entirely of wages reported
ON Withholding Statements form
WIZ or of such wages and moi
more than 500 total of other wages,
dividends, and interest, all Of

return. You may not use Form

ness or profession, farming. trans.
actions in securities or other pro.
perry, partnerships, estates. and
trusts, or (2) you claim the status
OF head of a household, or 60 YOU
wish to deduct travel or reimburs-
ed expenses from your wages.
2. Short Form 1910 Form 1o4o
may be used either as a short
form or as long form. The short
form Is simpler than the long form
It differs from Form 1O40A in that
(a) you must find your own tax:
(b) you may include income from
sources not eligible for reporting on
Form 1040A: and (c) you NAV de-
duct travel and reimbursed expen-
ses from your wages. Therefore. if
your income was less than S. 600
and you do not desire to itemize
nonous'ness deductions (contribu-
tons, interest, etc.,, find your tax
from the table on the back of the
form, tear off the first sheet and
fild it as Short Form 1910
3. Long-Form 1040. If your non
business deductions are more than
10 per cent of your income. you
viii ordinarily save money by
itemizing your deductions on Long.
Form 1910. You will then figure
your tax according to the compu-
tation on page 3, and file the en-
tire form, which is called a long
form return. If your nonbusiness
deductions are so close to 10 Der
cent that you are in doubt which is
the better form, try both the short
form and the long form to make
sure.

concern both in the administration and among all re-
Gently discharged employees

General Arthur Summerfied in speech shortly after
wards, made this statement:
Almost 1900 people who were security risks no
longer using tax money here to tell you that
we not hiring any ones. Somehow do not feel
too amably inclined toward people who make treason
their preoccupation"
Such statements as these have caused President
Eisenhower and the White House staff real concern
recently partly because they think such words treason
pretty strong when used in connection with the 1900
most of whom released for other than reasonable
activyand partly because they think such boast bad
politics.
Blown-up claims do more harm for the administra-
ton than good and is better of this than
the President himself That is why he had Summerfeld
informed his of the word treason was unfortunate
in reference to the 1900 government employees

But whether the administration should give break
down on the number of security risks discharged and
why they discharged, is another question. Demo-

Beuts EIinor FinckeI and
Lucille Busch Captures Title
InD.C Women's Golf Tourney

Lucille Busch, captain in the
Air Force, won the District
Women's gold championship to-
day by defeating Elinor Finckel,
4 and 2, in the final round at
Chevy Chase Club.
The match was all even after
II holes, but Miss Busch won
four of the next five to take the
title on the 10th green. When
the match was over, Miss Busch
needed a par in for 70, which
gave her four straight rounds in
which she would have broke 30
over a difficult course.
Miss Finckel, teacher at the
Oyster School and a tennis
player of note, won the first two
holes with par As. Miss Busch
won the third when her oppo-
nent was in trouble and squared
the match with a 30-footer for
a birdie 8 on the fifth hole. They
turned al leven after each won
a hole and they halved two OF
the next four.
On the back nine Miss Busch
lost an opportunity to win the
10th when she three-putted.
They halved No. II in SIS. At
this point Miss Finckel'S game
wen to pieces and Miss Busch
seemed to become much stronger,
playing the next five holes in
splendid fashion.
The new champion won the
18th hole wit ha 35-foot putt
for a birdie after Miss Finckel
had been in trouble all the way
up. The Argyle player won the
18th with a par 3 while Miss
Finckel was trapped at the tee
and exploded into the next fair
way. They halved the 14th in

Trade Still Hounts Braves
LiddIe Helps Giants
With Four-Hitter
BY the Assoeiatsd Press

The dream" deal of the win
ter is proving nothing but a
summer nightmare to the Mil
waukee Braves.
BY now, the Braves officials
reach for the aspirin bottle au-
tomatically whenever they are
forced to remember how much
they gave for so little.
Johnny Antonelli. Don Liddle.
Ebba st. Claire, Billy Klaus and
cash were parceled off to the
New York Giants for Bobby
Thomson and Sam Calderone.
This was supposed to be the
trade that could take the pen
nant away from Brooklyn. 1t
may Succeed-but for the Giants
instead of Milwaukee, as freely
predicted.
It's difficult to believe now
that many experts hailed this
as an even swap. The experts,
of course, didn't know Thorn
son was going to break his
ankle in spring training. But
even with Thomson in shape
it is questionable that the deal
would have seemed as good on
the diamond as it did on paper
AntOnelli Big Winner.
For the Giants, Antonelli ha.
won nine games, Liddle has wor
two. St. Claire is catching al
Minneapolis. where Klaus i.
playing second base and hitting
over 300.
For Milwaukee, Thomson ha.
been hurt since March 81 anc
will be out another month al
least. Calderone lost the second
string catcher's job to Rookie
Charley White and has played
just one full game and parts OF
nine others.
Not only have the Braves Suf-
fered mentally and financially
but they have been helpless in
man-to-man competition. An
tonelli has beaten them three
times in three tries. Liddle
pushed them into fourth place
