Juvenile Crime

The Nations Capital, comparatively
speaking at any rate, seems to be making
some Roadway against the generally
rising tide of juvenile delinquency.
A recent Washington police report
showed that there had been a slight drop
In juvenile crime in fiscal Sc as against
fiscal SIS. 1t was not much of a drop
1870 youths being referred to Juvenile
Court compared to 1854 in the preceding
year-but still a drop.
If this is less than might have been
hoped for, it nevertheless is an encourage
Ing showing when compared to the situa-
ton in New York City, for instance. That
citys police commissioner, Stephen P.
Kennedy, has just reported an alarm
ing increase in juvenile delinquency in
his Jurisdiction Juvenile delinquency in
New York scared by diSmaying Al 8 per
cent in the first six months of this year
over the comparable period in 1855. In
addition, Alp per cent of all arrests for
serious crimes involved persons less than
II years old. Furthermore, there was a
rather sharp decline in juvenile arrests
in Washington for serious crimes Where
there were major increases, they were
for such offenSes as auto theft and petty
larceny But in New York there was a
500 per cent increase in arrests of juve-
niles for major crimeS-murder, man
slaughter, felonious assault, etc.
Comparisons of this sort may be
somewhat misleading, of course, since the
statistical basis for them may vary from
city to city. But Washington, considering
the absolute decline in the number of
court cases here and the very sharp rise
in New York, has some reason for believ-
ing that its concerted community effort
in coping with the problem of juvenile
delinquency is not hopeless under
taking.

Chonqe in Peru

In flying to Lima last week end to
attend the Inauguration of President
Manuel Prado y Ugarteche, Secretary of
State Dulles made good and timely geS-
ture emphasizing the friendship existing
between the United States and Peru. He
also had reWarding opportunity to
acquaint himself with the leaders of the
new government and with the wholesome
change they have effected in their
country.
The change has resulted from PeruS
first completely free national election
since l945. Dr.. Prado scored solid vic
tory in winning the presidential race on
a moderately liberal platform, and his
party-the Democratic Movement-came
out of the campaign with clear majority
of seats in both houses of Congress- In
effect, the voters made clear that they
had grown tired of the dictatorial char
acter of the well-meaning admin
istration run by General Manuel Odria,
DR.. Prado's immediate predecessor.
In response to this public sentiment,
Peru's new President-aS one of his first
official acts since taking office-haS re-
leased all political prisoners jailed during
the Odria regime. In addition, his gov
eminent has announced that APRA (the
American Popular Revolutionary ALI
ance) is again back in good legal stand
ing after having been suppressed for the
past several years. APRA-which used
to be a militant left-wing though anti
Communist party-Supported DR.. Prado
In the election. but now that it has been
revived, it is likely to build itself up in
opposition to his Democratic Movement.
However, since he himself believes
in the free governing processes that re-
quire responsible opposition parties, Pres
ident Prado welcomes the prospect Of
having APRA in action again. In that
respect, he has plainly demonstrated that
his administration hopes and intends to
adhere to the principles of genuine de-
mocracy-a fact which certainly consti-
tutes a real Improvement in Peru's
political atmosphere.

The point-blank assumption
Of some segregationists that
integration is synonymous with
amalgamation is Of course a
very shaky premise.
1t seems apparent that most
mixing of races in this country
has occurred where white
superiority was the rule, with
the very most under the
maSter-slaye relationship. And
those Of US who went to long

Northern cities know that
white-Negro romance is prac-
tically as nil in those schools
as a human statistic can be.

movement of the whirling storms, planes

entific instruments of many kinds will
record wind velocity, pressure and other
data. All of the information will be
assembled promptly at central head
quarters, analysed and disseminated to
all areas in the path of the storm.
There is good reason to believe,
therefore, that the hide-and-seek tactics
which some previous hurricanes have
used to confuse forecasters and catch

its decisions are final and

awkward problem. A reason

Nature All Mixed-Up

On August /, J. J. Sperry of
Woodstock, Va, had a very
interesting letter on integra-
ton, and I would like to at
tempt TO point out some errors
that l believe crept into his
arguments.
To begin with, school inte-
grafton does not necessarily
lead to amalgamation of the
races. If it did, all the States
outside Of the South would
have found it out long ago.
Next, I believe a few comments
are in order on the examples
given in Mr.. Sperry's letter
attempting to show that seq
regation exists naturally in
nature. In the example of
redhead ducks not mixing with
canvasback ducks, a quick
check in Webster's Dictionary
shows that redhead ducks are
more properly known as red
headed cure, or widgeons, not
as ducks at all.
Moving on, the red fox and
the gray fox are Of different
genera, as are the honeybee
and bumblebee. and the timber
rattlesnake and massasauga
rattlesnake, respectively. Also
the red clover and white clover
are of different species. as are
the sugar maple and silver
maple. and the large mouth
and small mouth black bass,
respectively.
Webster's goes on to say that
all races Of humans now ex-
tant belong to the same genus
Homeland to the same
species-sapiens.

No wonder there is a great
sale of equanimity drugs, Jones
says.
The equitable temperament
becomes permanently frayed,
what with traffic, taxes, noises
and the like.
One might go on for a long
time, ehumerating the causes
OF lack of equanimity in Amer
leans, including the old re-
liable keeping up with the
Jones'"
Templeton Jones hastens to
assure his friends and rela-
tons that this saying was not
for his family alone.
1t arose, he says, merely be-
cause Jones is a popular name,
probably filling more lines in
the city directory than any
other, unless it is Smith.
But nobody says anything
about keeping up with the
Smiths. No, the Smiths are
let alone: it is those terrible
Jones one must try to keep
up with.
Lack of equanimity, then,
causes ones personal sigma
ture to fall off, as the years
go by.
Probably it makes little diff
ference, after all.
Some people can't write,
anyway.
We saw a signature the
other day so lacking in dis
tinctiveness that not even the
famous man who wrote it
could have recognized it out
Of place.
Templeton Jones has always
wondered why some persons
prefer to write that way.
1t is Just as easy, taking a
little thought, to make ones
signature plain.
Then not only lack of equa-
nimity, but lack of plain in
telligence. is in the Scrawl
masquerading as signature.
Templeton Jones beseeches
all Smiths. Jones and others,
to think twice before they be-
come so impatient, hasty and
thoughtless that they refuse
to write plainly.
He is glad that his sigma
lures, four times from 1911
to the present, can be read

fleet the essential man, who
was rs years old when he was

A Kind of Contoqion

Throughout the past week some Of
IndoneSia'S best newspapers have been
lavish in praiSing Egyptian President
NaSser for his naturalization of the Suez
Canal Company. They have also hailed
him for setting an example that should
be emulated by their own country in its
dealings with the Dutch. So there is con-
siderable plausibility in the suggestion
that his criSiS-breeding action has served
as source of inspiration, at least in part,
for the Jakarta governments sudden de-
cree wiping off it's books ST billion in
debts to the Netherlands.
Thus, wholly apart from the legal
questions raised by this repudiation-a
unilateral move which the Dutch can
counter with little more than diplomatic
proteStS-IndoneSia' S decision, even If not
inspired by the Suez situation, must be
viewed as an indication that Egypt'S
current policy may spread as kind of
contagion in regions that were once under
Western colonial rule. Britain and the
United States would be ShortSighted, for
example, if they did not reckon with the
danger that their oil concessions in the
NlQ01C GdoO--AllGluOA1lS plO0uN1A1S AAoOoNA-
lationS and pipelines-might be sub
jected, without much advance warning,
to a NaSser-like Swoop and seizure.
1t is true, of course. that much of
the nationalistic fervor pulSating in the
ex-colonial world seems to be irrational
and self-defeating. But it exists none
theleSS. And Colonel NaSSer'S maneuverS,
sinister and dangerous as they may be,
are undoubtedly intensifying it in way
that appeals powerfully, regardless of
common sense, to great masses of people
spread throughout vast area of the
globe AS IndoneSia's action suggests, his
influence ought not to be underestimated.
Quite obviously the West is dealing with
tremendously complicated and uniquely
emotional situation that calls for more
than mere show of force.

Ex-Officer Teachers

ApropoS retired Army officers
filling teacher needs in Arling-
ton, Va. l think it an excellent
idea, especially if teachers
there, as in some District of
Columbia schools, spend 80 per
cent of their time disciplining
10 per cent of the children. Per-
haps military disciplining of
the unruly 10 per cent will give
back the freedom of the 80
per cent who would like to and
could learn.
l think the hiring of retired
officers an excellent idea and
think they have much to offer.
In fact. they contributed con-
siderable when they said re

gives us the extra life we need
to maintain a good standard of

OF essentials for teachers, with
substandard salaries, added to
lack of parental responsibility,
along with unprecedented
world tensions and taxes, add
up to our present mediocre
student achievements?

can't help but wonder how our

reasonable chance of becoming
well-rounded and emotionally
matured adults.
