Metropolitan Scene
Two Moves Against Young Thugs

Chalk up two significant de-
velopments last week in the
juvenile delinquency contro-
VerSy.
One was the action Of the
representative Council on Law
Enforcement urging that the
United States attorney rather
than the judge of Juvenile
Court have power to determine
whether q youth should be
tried in an adult or juvenile
court. The second was intro
duction of a bill in the House
by Representative O'Hara, Re-
publican, Of Minnesota to &C
complish the same thing.
At present the discretion on
trial jurisdiction is vested solely
In the Juvenile Court judge.
Both the council plan and the
O'Hara bill require the United
States attorney to get and con-
slider social studies provided by
the juvenile court staff before
making his decision.
All this is leading toward a
revision Of our juvenile pro-
cedureS which now are at.
tempting unSucceSSfully to
cope with situations for which
they never were designed. In
brief. the revision would be to
leave to Juvenile Court and its
staff the handling Of juvenile
delinquents. It would give to
the United States attorney and
adult courts the handling of
young criminals who are

head Of the juvenile squad, so
aptly put it. a citizen who is
stabbed or beaten up on the
street wants redress It makes
no difference that the asSail-
ant was only II years old
instead of 81.
Washington residents are
entitled to protection from this
type of young thug which
current juvenile handling pro-
cedureS seem unable to afford
them.

Rabble rousers-including a

colored members Of the Dis
trict Board of Education a
hard time over their failure to
support the third member in a
recent race issue.
The two are Col. West A.

support DR.. Margaret Just
Butcher the agitators are call
ing for their resignation.
Now both Col. Hamilton and
Mr.. Williams are as dissatis-

realize that a board member is
expected to have the interest
Of the entire school system at
heart-not just a part of it.

Members Of the Liberal
Party who like to think Of
themselves as little liberals"

Of State for External Affairs.
Mr.. Pearson, as the next party
leader and Prime Minister.
Persons Experience
The Foreign Minister is 81.
He was a college history pro-
fessor and a career diplomat
before he entered politics In
1913 as undersecretary in the
department when Mr.. st.
Laurent was secretary. Upon
becoming Prime Minister, Mr..
st. Laurent persuaded Under
secretary Pearson to step up to
cabinet rank.
Mr.. Pearson was Canadian
Ambassador in Washington
during part Of World War II
and had close contacts with
the Roosevelt and Truman adj
miniStrationS.
However. there are current
and undenied reports that
both Mr.. Abbott and Mr.. Pear
son may not be available If

Abbott is supported mainly by
the conservative wing Of the
Liberal Party. Old-line Liberals
generally share his distrust
Of the social welfare theories
Of left-wing Liberals. and ap-
plaud his emphasis on the cost
and taxation aspects Of legis-
lation Of the welfare-state
variety. His orthodoxy in
finance has produced almost
monotonously regular govern
mental SURPRISES despite q
program Of tax reduction
which is picking up steam
again after q temporary set
back caused by increased de-
tense spending since 1850.
Mrs. Abbott is a charming
and popular candidate for the
unofhcial position Of chate-

He will travel $4,000 miles and
visit at least q dozen countries.
His chief purpose is to con-
fer with such Asian leaders as
Prime Minister Nehru Of India
and Mohammed Ali Of Pakis-
tan In the hope Of promoting
greater understanding and an
easing Of East West tensions.
No other Canadian Prime
Minister ever made such o
journey. That the French
Canadian st. Laurent will do
so emphasizes both his inter-
nationalist outlook and his
determination to continue as
head of the Canadian govern
ment. Canada's second Prime
Minister Of French descent

BY Gerald Worino

OTTAWA Prime Minister
Louis st. Laurent Of Canada,
who viii be 70 tomorrow, is
showing so few signs Of getting
ready to retire that his pros
pective successors are becoming
impatient.
The two men who head the
list Of the eligibles, Finance
Minister Douglas Abbott and
Foreign Minister Lester B.
Pearson. are eying other jobs.
Those further down the list
are watching their own BIRTH
days come and 60 with the
sure knowledge that when the
Liberal Party does elect a new
leader, q youngiSh man will be
preferred.
There had been widespread
speculation before last AuguSt's
general election that the aging
Prime Minister would lead the
party through the campaign
and, win or lose, would retire
not too long thereafter.
In his first election speech
Mr.. st. Laurent scotched those
rumors by asking the voters
''f you want me for the next
four years as the senior Of
fetal Of the Canadian govern
ment." And toward the end
of the strenuous Seven-week
campaign. Mr.. st. Laurent
promised to remain as Prime
Minister as long as his health
permitted, or as long as the
people wanted him.
In Good Heolth
A medical examination after
the election showed the Prime
Minister was in excellent
health for q man Of his years.
With surprising resiliency he
shook on the fatigue Of a hec-
tic six-month session Of Par
lament, the strain Of Official
attendance at the coronation
Of Queen Elizabeth and the ex-
haustion Of campaigning from
one coast Of Canada to the
other.
Now. as though to mark the
beginning Of his 73d year, the
Prime Minister will leave Of
tawa Thursday on q six-week
air journey around the world.

Bear Situations
Tend Down in Park

WEST GLACIER-While Gla-
cier National Park travel has trip
led in 20 years, the number of in
juries from bears has decreased,
according to Chief Ranger Elmer
Fladmark.
He attributes the decrease to
more care by visitors around
bears, and not to any situation
where bears have learned more
about getting along with men.
They often bite the hands that
feed them, and haven't found out
where a finger ends and chocolate
begins.
The seasons reported total of
bear scratches and bites in Gla-
cier stands officially at three, and
in each instance involved people
off guard while pictures were be-
ing taken of bears. Another four
bear injuries were indirectly re-
ported.
In addition there have been in
cidents of bear damages. Earlier
this summer, a trailer was dam
aged by bear who, seeking food,
ore out a partially opened win
low.
Then last weekend, bear at
campground crawled
nto a late model car by tearing
,ut a partially opened front Win
low. Next development was the
year ripping out the back seat,
nd going after ham in the
runk. Bears have special fond
less for ham. The car belonged to
New Yorker on his way to Ore
ION with his wife and two chill
lren where he will teach school.
