DELINQUENCY
The Biggest Factor Is Parental Neglect

Who is to blame for Americas
skyrocketing juvenile delinquency
rate and iDhdt should be done
about it? In this interpietD. J. Ed
oar Hoover, director OF the Fed
erdl Bureau OF Investigation. er-
Gmines the problem, makes some
hdrd-hitting comments on its
causes and proposes some lines
of attack. The QUESTIONABLE
Gnswer session tDdS conducted by
North American Newspaper Ali
unce reporter William Huffman.
@. What is Juvenile delinquency?
A. Law enforcement recognizes
juvenile delinquency as the training
school for adult crime. It has been
our experience that all too often
the first act of delinquent behavior
is but the forerunner Of increas-
ingly serious crimes.
With rare exception. the records
of today's most vicious criminals
reveal that they committed yester-
days burglaries. the petty thefts
of last year and the acts Of vandal-
ism of the year before. Case after
case illustrates the depressing fact
that retrogression into the under
world is but series Of exceedingly
short steps.
Juvenile delinquency reflects the
tragic failure of the entire adult
community. It's rate is merely an
index Of the moral atmosphere and
civic responsibility in that COM
munity.
Wherever adults are Indifferent
to the needs Of younsters. delin-
ouency rates will be high. Lacking
the wholesome guidance which is
essential to the development OF
good character and moral values,
the child Is literally set adrift to
seek his own path to responsible
citizenship. II he stumbles, the
adult community which has failed
him must share the responsibility.
can't repeat too often that
without exception. acts Of omission
or commission by adult citizens
underline every young offenders
misdeeds.
q. Could you cite IN example?
A. Well, last year Q gang OF
teen-age hoodlums was arrested IN
a Midwestern city after committing
a series Of vicious crimes. The
youths had spent their evenings
roaming the streets and victimizing
unsuspecting citizens who happened
across their paths.
Among their offenses were GRIM
inal assaults on more than 20
women. One Of the gang members
confessed numbering an elderly
victim by smashing her skull with
a brick. The l6-year leader OF
these young terrorists was well
known to the authorities.
He and two other boys mad been
arrested three years earlier for
breaking into confectionery store.
Two years later he was identified as
having assaulted Q 17-year-old girl
and was placed on probation. A
teen-ager who had quit school, he
had no Job and time and time
again proved his disregard for the
rights Of others. Here was b youth
whose critical need for special at
tention obviously should have been
recognized BY the adults who knew
him.
Adults Did Nothing
Not only did his needs 90 un-
answered. but adult ettizens per-
mitted him TO lead other youngsters
along the path Of immortality and
crime.
@. Mr.. Hoover. what are the ele-
ments that contribute - Juvenile
delinquency?
A! Let me answer this ct some
length. While Q number Of factors
underlie the delinquency problem

BY DAVID KOONCE

Last Monday night Mrs. Francis
Chappell Of Ruskin Heights. Mo.
was toweling her 5-year-old son
Gregory after his bath when she
heard what she later described as
q horrible roar"
In Missouri, a sustained, deafen-
Ing roar in the month of May means
only one thing. Mrs. Chappell threw
Gregory to the floor and lay on
top Of him. Mr.. Chappell. in another
room, told his other child Ruth
Marie, 8, to get face down on the
floor. He threw his weight across
her and prayed.
In less than a minute. the twister
hit. The house exploded. All four
were injured. the children critically.
The Chappells were among the
several hundred injured last week
as dozens OF tornadoes, some large
and others small. twisted across
Kansas, Missouri. Texas. Arkansas.
Oklahoma and western Illinois. At
the last count. 81 persons were
killed. Thousands Of buildings were
wrecked.
Just what is a tornado, and what
goes on inside its terrible vortex as
it writhes across the landscape, leav-
ing death and destruction at every
place it touches?
They're UndependobIe
Weathermen. who are just learn
ing how to forecast twisters with
some degree Of accuracy. say that
they are the most cratic and I'M
dependable of all the weather phe-
nomena.
For instance: They are likely to
be found moving parallel with a
Souall line-but not always. They
probably will approach from the
southwest and move into the north
east-but there are exceptions.
They seldom are more than 200
yards in diameter-but sometimes
they cut a swath as wide as 300
yards, the Ruskin Heights tornado
Monday night being case in
point. Once the twister has passed
it won't come back-most of the
time, that is. CA Mississippi town
was once hit twice in less than a
half hour. the two visitations kill
ing 65)
The tornado is born as a result
Of the union OF two very different
air masses, one hot and the other
cold. The warm air layer Ql2 to
2 miles thick If the offspring is to
be a real howler) is beneath the
cold air. which must be dry and
Just cool at the bottom and very
cold at the top. The cold air mass
then will push down through the
warm air at an angle. causing
wind eddies at contact. The eddies
increase their rate of twisting and
gradually descend through the
warm air to the earth. where, by
this time. the gyrations have be-
come a full-fiedged tornado.
Buildings Explode
1t is generally believed that build
ings demolished by a tornado are
blown down. but this is not quite
correct. Newspaper pictures have
shown cows standing calmly out
doors at stalls once surrounded by
the walls Of a barn. Though the
new Ruskin Heights High School
building was demolished last week,

organization. The constitution says
there could be more.
Asked in an interview why there
IL no opposition. the generalissimo
waved Q hand and smilingly an
swered:
Just ask the people-go any
where you like and ask them.
They'll tell you they are satisfied
with what they have.
This land has had long history
Of revolutions. sudden changes In
government, and once eight differ
ent political parties. The people
got tired Of that. Now they want
only one party"
The generalissimo has spent
hundreds Of millions of dollars In
building UP this country since he
seized power in q coup d'etat back
in 1890 and later was elected Presi-
dent.
He still runs the country al
though his brother Is technically
President. having been reelected
Just last week for q second five-
year term.
There Is q Chamber Of Deputies
and Senate which has the constitu-
tional right to override any presi-
dental veto. It never has.
Looking back over what he has
accomplished, the generalissimo
said:
There's no opposition here.
There isn't any reason for 1t.
There's no unemployment. As
a matter Of fact. there's a labor
shortage. For that reason. all who
want to work find the door open

pay is somewhat less In agriculture.
But 1t is still high compared with
the standards in neighboring coun-
tries.
Back in 1880 the annual budget
was only 81 million. Today 1t Is
$l37 million. with most revenue
coming out of exports.
Generalissimo Trujillo said about
$25 million Of the budget goes for
the maintenance and development
of the armed forces. He listed $35
million for education and the drive
toward total literacy Sixty per
cent Of Dominicans can now read
and write.

all my fellow citizens will be able
to write our sacred motto-God,
