The World Over

it is already in the news, for it
promises for the first time in the
history of Orthodox Judaism to
provide higher Jewish education
for women.
The weaker sex, though never
degraded in Jewish family life,
had a place of lesser Importance
in religious and educational activi-
ties. They were not counted for
minyan, nor allowed to read
from the Torah. And, truly, they
seldom had sufficient education to
take an important part in the re-
ligious service.
But modern Jewish women do
not accept limitations such as
these. Accustomed to the privi-
leges and responsibilities of equal
citizenship, they wish to take on
the obligations of study and teach
ing which seem to be their natural
role.
Thanks to the generous $500, ,00C
gift of Max Stern, in memory OF
his parents, Yeshivah University
traditionally For Men Only-now
offers to young women an equal
education in the liberal arts and
sciences, and in Hebrew studies as
well. This is history-making for.
ward step for Orthodox Jewry ir
America.

Youths Show How
To SET Up Canteen

The Junior Civic Association
yesterday demonstrated how to
set up canteens for juvenile
recreation.
Teen-agers from % neighbour
hood organizations danced. sang,
put on a skit and played indoor
games to learn what goes into
the operation Of q successful
canteen.
Adult advisers for the various
groups and other district civic,
youth and educational represent
atives were present to lend ex-
perience and guidance at the
three hour session. The demon
stration canteen was staged by
more than 100 persons at the
Asbury Church Community Gen.
ter, GAS L street NV.
The workshop was to show how
youngsters, using ingenuity, adj
vance training and enthusiasm
can whip up a simple but salts
flying recreation program.
Association leaders hope the
canteen will serve as a pilot
project for similar canteens
throughout the city. Coping
with juvenile delinquency is the
immediate concern Of the can
teen plan.

Committee Recommends
Second Judge for Court

The committee recommended
q second judge for the Juvenile
Court and made this comment:
Even assuming that the judge
is able to hear cases for eight
hours a day, two days q week
during so weeks Of the year, in
order to dispose Of 5000 juvenile
cases a year. the judge must
give an average Of no more than
10 minutes to each hearing.
1T is manifest that no public
servant should be asked to hear
such a multitude of cases and at
the same time to give to each
case the attention 1t requires:
the burden is simply too great.
Furthermore. 1t may be that
with q lighter schedule, the
court might be able to study in
advance the full social histories
of the children whose cases are
to be heard and perhaps to re-
view the entire file Of each
child"

This belief is being backed
by plans to spend $64.5 million

The Cleveland Transit System
acquired a rundown property
in 1912 and issued SITS million

for a modernized rapid transit.
In 1949 the system completed

Criticize Role Of Assistant
Cooperation Counsel

The committee brought out
that at the present time, the
Assistant Corporation Counsel
does not cause additional cases
to be brought before the court
for hearing. does not take part
in recommendations for action
by the court, and does not pre-
sent these recommendations to
the court. The report continued:
with respect to juvenile
cases. In other words. the AS
sistant Corporation Counsel
simply provides the legal foun-
dation for whatever disposition
of the case the court-as advised
by the specialist in social work
may wish to make. The COM
mittee believes that this should
be changed.
1.-THE committee recommends
that the Assistant Corporation
Counsel review all complaints
filed against juveniles which the
Department of Social Work pro-
poses to close at intake. The AS
Sistant Corporation Counsel
should examine these cases with
the purpose of seeing that the
community is protected against
the more serious juvenile Of
tenders, and in appropriate
cases, he should initiate or au-
thorize the filing of a petition
so that the case may be heard
by the Judge. It is hoped
that this new ingredient in the
Juvenile Court system will
strengthen the court and will
have some deterrent effect upon
the more sophisticated and ag-
greSsive juveniles.
1.-THE same role should be as
sumed by the Assistant Corpora
ton Counsel with respect to the
cases which are selected for a
hearing before the judge. In
cases where there is a denial
sof involvement by the child. the
Assistant Corporation Counsel
should work closely with the po-
lice to bring out the full evidence
in the case. In no case should

suit in the courts inability-de-
spite a personal belief in the

is necessary between the Assist

Concerned by Optimism
On Part of Social Worker

Later on the committee de-
veloped this theme:
with respect to about IS per
cent of the complaints filed with
the court, the decision Of the
Department Of Social Work is
to bring the case before the
court by a petition. The re-
naming IS per cent Of the cases
are closed at intake without re-
view.
Through its study Of 100 &C
tual cases, the committee has
had an opportunity to compare
the disposition Of the average
case with the seriousness Of the
crime and the apparent likeli-
hood that the child would be
successfully rehabilitated.
I'm the committees opinion,
there were enough instances Of
excessive optimism on the part
of the social worker to warrant
some concern. There were in
stances Of recommendations
that seemingly serious COM
plants be closed at intake. In
some cases brought to hearing,
1t was recommended that a child
be left in the community on
probation s when it appeared
likely to the lay observer that
the child would commit further
delinquent acts.
The committee has concluded
that there is, a need In the
present Juvenile Court system
for an independent review, by q
representative of the commun-
ity at large. Of all complaints
closed by the Department Of
Social Work at intake and Of
all recommendations Of the De-
partment Of Social Work in

Foreign Aid

The President was pretty much
having his way on the foreign aid
bills last week, right UP to the time
when everything was dropped to talk
about the Mccarthy issue.
The weeks accomplishments were
considerable.
Senators almost finished work on
the authorization bill- As 1t stood
when they switched to Mccarthy,
the bill would permit spending Of
$3,110. 100000 in new funds for for
eign aid, mostly military. The Presi-
dent originally requested $3.4 bill
lion, but the Senate figure was con-
sidered acceptable to the White
House.
On the House side, work was COM
pleted on the appropriation bill,
which ordinarily is tackled only
when the authorization becomes law.
The House, to the Presidents dis
appointment, cut new funds again,
this time to $2,890 100000. Some,
Topped of apparently through mis-
understanding Of the role of Com
munist-country nationals in the U
N. technical assistance program,
would have been restored except for
an adverse parliamentary situation.
The Senate was expected to clear
up the difficulty. however, to the
satisfaction Of the White House.
The House bill also contained $2.3
billion in leftover unobligated for
eign aid funds. President Eisenhower
had asked that $3.50, 900 900 of un-
used money be reappropriated.

With half a dozen major Federal

change was in the public housing
