Juvenile Aid
Bi||Approved

The Senate Labor Committee
yesterday approved a bill au-
thorizing a Federal program of
grants to states to fight juvenile
delinquency. The funds could run
to more than 500 million dol
lars.
Senator Hill, Democrat of Ala
bama. committee chairman, said
the measure would be sponsored
on the floor by Senator Lehman,
Democrat of New York, head OF
a subcommittee which has
worked on the problem.
Senator Hill explained the
measure was a reworking of bills
introduced by Senators Kefauver
of Tennessee, Wiley, Of Wiscon-
sin, and others.
The bill would establish a 81
member Federal Advisory Coun-
Gil on Juvenile Delinquency in
the Health. Education and We'll
fare Department.
Its authorizations included:
A seven-year program OF
grants to States to aid them in
improving local programs to con-
troll delinquency. The amounts
would be IS million the first
year. SIS the second, and $40
the third. No ceiling would be
fixed for the last four years but

Gov. LongIie Won't Oppose Mognuson
Unless President Heads G. O. P. Ticket

SEATTLE, Wash, Feb. 16.--
Republican hopes of defeating
Senator Warren G. Magnuson
for reelection this fall rest on
Gov. Arthur Langiie, who re-
fuses to run unless and until
President Eisenhower heads
the @. o. P. ticket.
Gov. Langlie has resisted
taunts that he is a coat-tail
rider and that he is showing a
certain lack Of confidence in
his party. His reason Is that
all polls Of the senatorial sem
timent in the State give Mag
nuson a slight but consistent
edge over him and all other
Republicans.
Hence. 1t appears to Langlie
that he would only be head
ing for defeat when he could
surely win another race for
Governor. Actually he is de-
scribed as somewhat weary Of
public office and not too eager
to continue in it.
The President remains pop
ular here and Gov. Langlie's
confidence that Eisenhower's
name would give him the mar
gin needed for victory is
thought generally to be rea-
sonable. 1t Is added that no
other Republican could win
over the experienced and well.

the labor union groups. AM
other $91,050 was spent by the
labor union committees In un-

their senatorial candidates in

There was, of course, a huge
sum spent to try to elect GER

speaking, the labor money
went primarily to Democratic
candidates. Much Of the money
was contributed in an effort to
defeat candidates deemed sun
friendly to labor" Thus, when

years ago, about 5000 was
spent in trying to defeat him.
There are rumors that about
$4,000 will be contributed this
year for the same purpose.
