Child CarePIa

The Public Welfare Advisory
Council and Welfare Director
Gerard M. Shea will meet with
District Commissioners at 10
am. Tuesday to discuss a relief
plan backed by Juvenile Court
Judge Edith Cockrill.
The idea is to leave with their
parents children who otherwise
would be in foster homes be-
cause the family hasn't enough
income to care for them.
The money that would be paid
to the foster parents, if given
instead to the natural parents,
would be enough in some cases
to keep the family together,
Judge Cockrill has declared.
The Welfare Department, Mr..
Shea said yesterday, is asking
for an opinion from its auditor
on whether diversion of foster
home money to such an income
experimentation plan would be
legal. The auditors decision
has not been made.
At a meeting of the council
yesterday it was decided to
SEND to members of the House
and Senate District Committees
copies of a statistical report on
welfare expenditures here to
show the city is "far behind the
States"
The report, prepared by Re-
search Director Raymond F..

The Metropolitan Transit Authority could come to

This newspaper has maintained from the start that
the MIA problem belongs to all the people of MasSa-

votes to get law passed having the burden distributed

A Little Strap Oil

Our understanding of psychiatry and psychology
is extremely limited
And understand even less about use of these
sciences to explain crime 1t that every time
youngster steals and auto it's because his mother either
let him cry infant shut him up as an infant
When juvenile kills it's because his father
couldn't afford him hot rod A ten-year-od caught
smoking mariyuana does it because somebody changed
him from left-hander to highlander. Just the
other day in Florida defense witness blamed bank
robbery by 2l-year-od man on the fact that when
he was child everybody kidded him about his buck
teeth. It all started, it seems, way back there
Well, there IS great deal of juvenile delinquency
but we doubt if these theories will explain it. if most
of the suggestions before Senate committee will help
TO cure it, Socioogsts psychologists and other theore
uclanS think community effort Federal aid and state
coordination are the answers to the troubled kids
But Jersey Joe Walcott, who fought his way from
the slums to the worlds heavyweight championship,
has different answer Mr. Wacot blames the parents
too but his treatment is not to be found most of the
latest tracts on applied child psychology
Mr. Wacott says the is to start back there all
right, with very big strap The right amounts of af-
lection and strap oil will keep any youngster straight
Parents he told the Senator's must make their Young
sters face up to knowledge Of right and wrong; to
make sure that evil will be punished that no particular
reward ought to be expected from just behaving your
self"
Now 1t may be that Jersey Joe knows lot less
about the child ego and bido than the psychiatrists
But he certainly knows how to keep the kids UNFINISHED
without putting the Federal Government in the child
psychology business.
