DEALING With Juveniles

Legislation being considered by the
Virginia General Assembly would assure
more realistic handling of juvenile crime
cases in the States courts. The general
tenor Of several pending bills is to
tighten up on the administration of
justice in fragrant cases of teen-age
violence.
Measures before the Courts of JUS
tice Committee of the House of Dele
gates would lower the age for admins
tering adult justice to juveniles, give
Juvenile court judges authority to pub
licize names of juveniles and their par
ents in particularly bad cases, require
release to police of records on juvenile
crime now held secret by juvenile courts
and provide more specifically for holding
parents accountable for the delinquency
Of their children. The Virginia Council
of Juvenile Judges has strongly opposed
the lowering of the age limit in juve-
nile court cases, on the understandable
ground that many first offenders auto
matically would be given crime records.
A spokesman for the council pointed out
that present law permits a waiver of
juvenile jurisdiction to adult courts in
specially aggravated crimes, and the
council might render public service by
encouraging more judges to use this
waiver right.
The Legislature ought to give care
full consideration, however, to the pro-
posals that juvenile court judges be
vested with authority to disclose names
Of fragrant juvenile offenders and their
parents, that police be given access to
Juvenile crime records and that parents
specifically be held responsible when the
evidence shows they have contributed
to the delinquency of their children.
Revision Of the laws in these areas might
help to reverse the swelling tide of iuve-
nile offenSeS.

ward trend, declining 81 per
cent.
While it is true that bust
ness in general has tapered
of. thus affecting railroads,
it is also true that the ma
jor troubles of the railroads
can be directly traced to three
things: Rates fixed by law.
taxes, and subsidies to COM
peting forms of transporta-
ton.
The railroad transportation
rates are fixed by law and
this law should be changed
to allow more ,flexibility in
the setting of rates to permit
the railroads to compete with
other forms of transporta-
ton.
Temporary taxes imposed
during World War II, which
REQUIRE the railroads to charge
a 3 per cent tax on freight
shipments and 10 per cent
on passenger fares, should
be repealed. The 3 per cent
tax on freight shipments en-
courages industry to go into
the trucking business and
handle their own shipments
to avoid this tax.
Consideration should be
given to the reduction of
taxes on their facilities.
The Post Office Department
should be made to pay its
own way. How can the rail-
roads and express agency
compete with the Post Office
Department in the handling
Of packages when this depart
ment reports a deficit Of $50
million for the year 1856 in
the handling Of parcel post
alone? Subsidies come out
Of the individual taxpayers
pocket and certainly it is un-
fair for the Government to
subsidize competing forms
Of transportation. such as the
airlines who pay very little
tax and have their airports
given to them by the Govern
ment at taxpayers expense.
while the airlines pocket fat
profits.
The Government should not
ignore requests of the rail-
road industry for reasonable
changes in the law to permit
them to stay in business.
If we are going to retain
our railroads, which are so
important to national de-
Tense. our economy and the
people as a whole. the people
must realize that something
must be done Immediately TO
relieve the railroads prob
lens.
We hope that the congress
sional hearings now going on
will probe fully into this prob
lem.

We are reaping in these
days Of chaos and cataS-
trophe the bitter harvest Of
q vicious philosophy whose
chief objective seems to be to
make life easier. instead Of
stronger. The great delusion
OF our so-called civilization

Many "Selfmade" people in
our day seem to assume. Just
because they have so many
mechanical slaves working
for them. that they them
selves are masters. To stay
within the legal limits Of q
deal is their chief concern.
In fact. to them life is largely
a matter Of deals, rather
than ideals. What used to
be called the proprieties do
not matter much. Now the
