WHAT YOUNG PEOPLE Think
! Parents Sound off on Teen-Agers
By EUGENE GILBERT
Gilbert Youth Research Co.

"Ihe trouble with kids today
"
How often have you heard
people begin a conversation
with those words and a sad
shake Of the head? Teen-aged
troubles seem to be on every
ones mind these days, espe-
eially the parents Of teen-aged
children.
All right, then, what is the
trouble with kids today? What
makes them so different from
when you and l we're young?
We decided to find out by
making a special survey lin
tied to parents Of teen-aged
children. a switch from our
regular studies which are
devoted to the opinions of
teen-agers themselves.
Our first question was:
What do you consider the
single worst influence on the
lives Of your teen-aged chill
dTen?"
1t turned out to be a block
buster.
Rising to the bait with what
seemed like pent up fury,
the parents we interviewed
blamed the troubles of their
teen-aged offspring on every
thing from rock and roll to
progressive education.

Teen-agers, insists Mrs.

Highways and Public
Works

The amount of money being
spent on the highway program
is rising sharply-from less than
$3.50, 000.000 in the last fiscal
year to 1850, 100000 currently,
and will rise to $2.4 billion in
the coming fiscal year.
The administration will ask
Congress within the next few
days for q suspension of GER
tain expenditure limitations on
the highway program for three
years. Such an amendment
would permit an additional $2.2
billion to be placed under con-
tract during the next three
calendar years.
Other programs in this area
that will make lasting contri-
buttons to the Nations facili-
ties and stimulate employment
are a variety Of needed public
works projects ready to start
Immediately. upon which 5000
million will be spent earlier
than planned. They will total
50 billion in the coming fiscal
year-a sharp rise.
Included also are water re-
source projects totaling $186
million that are ready to 60
and for which appropriate Gov
eminent agencies are asking
Congress for money.
In addition, the moderniza-
ton Of our post Offices will
place modern facilities in H.

Easing Credit

OF great consequence in the
regeneration Of the economy as
a whole is the action Of the
Federal Reserve Board to in
crease the availability Of money
and reduce the cost Of borrow
ing. Market rates for money,
rejecting this Federal Reserve
policy Of easing credit, have
declined more sharply since the
late autumn than in any other
similar period in our history.
Interest rates on all kinds of
borrowing have now gone down,
and the basis is firmly laid for
businessmen and consumers to
obtain credit readily and at
lower cost in consequence of
these actions Of the board.

Danger Of lII-Advised
Programs
This is no time for ill-advised
action. It is all too easy to
recommend broad and far
reaching money spending which
in fact will not provide the
needed jobs at the right time
which is now. Any program
that is to relieve unemployment
effectively must be started and
completed in a reasonably
short time. For example, 1t
would do no good and in fact
might do harm If a large-scale
program were inaugurated
which would not be in high
gear until say 1859, when 1t
would compete for workers and
materials needed elsewhere.
