The Growins-Up Problem
Mr.. Gomberg, short, fast-talk-
ing ex-newspaperman. is all
wrapped up in his enormous task.
He wants the conference to point
up the intimate relationship be-
tween parents and the home and
what happens to the child as he
grows up."
IF we do that" he said in an
interview, researchers will have
to go beyond the scope of some
programs and dig deeper, look
into questions like What can you
do to change family?'"
He recognizes the problem Of
giving too much weight to one
aspect of youth difficulties, such
as juvenile delinquency, in the
80 discussion groups that will dot
the city during the conference.
But he also has a solution. Elec-
tronic data processing equipment
will assign individuals to groups
to vary their particular interests.
Someone interested in mental re-
tardation will be seated next to
someone who concentrates on
recreation and he will be next to
a person worried about juvenile
delinquency, and so on.
This, Mr.. Gomberg admits, "is
an overt attempt to prevent any
one problem field from taking
over. We want a cross-section
approach to all problems in So
ciety today"
He comedies that juvenile de-
linquency is the most difficult to
explain adequately. According to
one report less than a third of
the juvenile courts today are suf-
f1ciently stated, and many deci-
sions are made without benefit
of diagnostic report on the
youngster involved. Mr.. Com
berg says: THE bench needs in
depreciation as well as the gen.
eral public" :"
In many places, he adds, pro-
baton is nothing more than "a
bookkeeping system" He cites
report tabbing justice for young
people as "a matter of geogra-
ply"
The public is not concerned
about available resources, Mr..
Gomberg explained bit sadly.

OF particular importance here

And it is over principles-such
as how long dogs should be Gagged
that most questions arise. The
institute says that "it is generally
conceded that animals maintained
for long periods are in better

exercise regularly"
But in practice this ideal is
rarely realized. Therefore, the

The band played and the crowd
applauded as bushy-haired Mark
Twain rose to deliver the principal
address at the opening of the Vir-
ginian Railway at Norfolk so years
ago. Away from the speakers
stand Henry Huttleston Rogers,
who never had much to say in
public, beamed over the huge
steam locomotives that had been
assembled especially for his line.
Mr.. Rogers was probably the
only man in United States history
who ever built an important rail-
road and paid for it out of his own
pocket. On that blustery day, April
2, 1909, he knew it hadn't been
easy.
Less than two months after the
first load of soft coal rolled down
from the West Virginia hills, the
owner paid his last installment.
He died of a stroke at So.
For decades afterward highly
efficient management of the un-
glamorous, tailored-to-f1t, 600-mile
Virginian kept the balance sheets
as black as the coal that was the
chief reason for it's existence. But
in the current year of stress for
the railroads the line has merged
with the Norfolk & Western, and
about December / will vanish as a
separate organization. The new
setup will bear NEWS name.
Although Mr.. Rogers struggled
to make the Virginian become a
reality, in paradoxical fashion
his character complicated the
construction of the road. He was
poor boy from Fairhaven, Mass,
who got into the oil business early
and made an important contribu-
ton by devising machinery which
separated naptha from crude oil.
Subsequently Mr.. Rogers be-
came a partner of John D. Rookie
feller in Standard Oil. Next
Rogers originated the method of
transporting oil through pipe
lines, and the newspapers some

The increase In the use Of ami
mails In medical, military and
space science has created O new
national industry and has brought
with 1t problems now attracting
congressional concern.
Few persons outside the test
laboratories know that more than
81 million animals will be used
this year for research. Mass pro-
duction and consumption brings
headaches. But recent events here
make clear that If dividends are
to be realized In dollars, discov-
cries and goodwill, top priority
must be given to the care. breed
ing and handling Of these servants
Of humanity.

cent three-day session here Of TOO

dog, mouse and monkey food.
Each had an important connec-
tion with this mushrooming $232-
million-a-year business - which
may have a far-reaching effect on
the destiny Of the American peo-
pie.
These experts at the 10th AMI
NAL Care Panel were still feeling
their way in this new complex
field, even to the point Of seeking
clearer definitions of good care.
They found a valuable guidepost
in the first congressional policy
statement on this subject. The
Senate Appropriations Committee
recently declared that providing
suitable and comfortable" quar-
ters for animals used in Federal
research is a proper expense"
British Authorities Here
Two visiting high authorities on
Great Britain's laboratory animal
law reminded the panel, indirectly.
of what could lie ahead.
The holding of the panel here
pointed UP the fact that Wash
ington occupies unique position
in the test-animal kingdom. What
happens here, both from the
standpoint of policy and research,
can influence the Nation. Few
places use so many animals to
fight so many different battles for
man. The enemies they are pitted
against range from deadly cancer
to colors and chemicals added to
food, medicines and cosmetics.
Also their care and quarters vary
from the ideal to the medievally
inadequate.

more than he bargained for in
accepting the court compromise.
He refused to obey crucial "orders
Of recommendation issued by the
monitors. and took action to have
the membership dissolved.
Fighting back. two of the three
monitors petitioned Judge Let's for
enforcement of their orders Of
recommendation" and for modi-
fication of the compromise decree
to confirm their cleanup powers.
Judge Let's, upholding the
monitors, ordered Mr.. Hoffa to
obey them. And the Judge ex-
tended the life of the membership
for as long as it may take to ac-
complish a general houseclean-
ing" The Court Of Appeals up
held Judge Let's in all major
respects.
Mr.. Hoffa appealed to the
Supreme Court. He charged. in
part, that Judge Let's exceeded
his authority in empowering the
monitors to purge the Teamsters,
and that the membership deprives
union members of the democratic
right to run their own affairs. Mr..
ODonoghue retorted that Mr..
Hoffa was trying to welsh on the
compromise bargain.
Court Moy Act Soon
The Supreme Court soon will
announce whether it will hear Mr..
Hoffa's appeal. If the court takes
the case, the monitors will con-
tinue their present holding opera
ton while waiting for a final
ruling this winter or spring. But
if the court throws out the appeal,
the monitors swiftly will swing
into action with cleanup plans
formulated during the past year
or more.
In that event, they will try to
oust Mr.. Hoffa from Office. If
they fail in that effort, they will
at least weaken his grip on the
Nations largest union.
Mr.. Hoffa if he is lucky may
hang on as president of the 1.6-
million-member Teamsters Union,
but his reign as absolute monarch
soon will end-if the Supreme
Court gives the signal to the moni-
tors.
Working from leads supplied by
the Senate Rackets Committee
and by disSident Transfers, the
monitors have drafted a series of
charges against Mr.. Hoffa alleging
misuse of union funds, encourage
ment Of racketeering, sitting of
members rights, conflicts Of in
terest and other abuses of his
trust and power.
They intend to put him on trial
perhaps in a hearing before

The Monitors Fight on Hoffo
Is Entering a Crucial Phase

Judge Let's or before special
court officer. II found guilty, Mr..
Hoffa would face removal from
Office and expulsion from mem
bership in the Teamsters.
Charges Against Hoffo
One of the key charges against
Mr.. Hoffa alleges that he deposited
$500.000 of the funds of Local 299,
Detroit, in the Florida National
Bank at Orlando to back a $780,
900 loan by Henry Lower. his
friend and business associate. Mr..
Hoffa is suing the bank to recover
the money, which is in account
paying no interest to the union.
If Mr.. Hoffa weathers the per-
sonal charges. he still may lose
the union presidency through ac-
ton by the monitors.
The planned cleanup would
undercut his power by breaking
up his intra- union political ma
chine and by Tightening financial
controls. He will, Of course, re<
sist. If Mr.. Hoffa disobeys the
monitors, Judge Let's can punish
him for contempt Of court. Or
Judge Let's could remove him
from Office for violating the 1858
compromise decree that let him
take over as provisional president.
Even if Mr.. Hoffa keeps the
Teamster presidency, or wins it
back, the monitors think they can
clip his wings. They intend to:
Gust Vice President Owen B.
(Bert) Brennan, Detroit, and
other key cogs in the Hoffa ma
chine who stand accused of cor
rupt practices.
Protect union funds in order
to cut off the gravy that at
tracts racketeers and gives Mr..
Hoffa a base of power.
Enforce election rules, and
other safeguards for rank-and-
file rights. thus promoting in
ternal house-cleaning through
the power of democracy.
Investigate the union relent-
lessly to deter corruption.
Attacks on all these fronts, the
monitors hope, will accomplish
more than the immediate objec-
tive of beating Mr.. Hoffa. He
may be the main symbol of union
corruption, but his defeat would
not necessarily purify the union.
Others would scramble to exploit
the richest gold mine in organized
labor.
Mr.. ODonoghue. for one. has
faith that vigilant Teamster
members will keep their union
clean after the monitors scrub
the stables. He intends, at least,
to set up machinery to give the
rank-and-file that chance.

Leader ofWhite House Conference on Youth:
Sees Objectives as Beyond Delinquency Issue

1t wants quick solution to world
wide problems.
IT don't know what the an
swer is"
Mr.. Gomberg, who dropped Of
fetal posts in a dozen business
firms to take the Federal job
running to the middle of next
year, says the conference will not
cover only the "disadvantaged
kids-the delinquent, neglected,
gifted, hard-of-hearing or dull
ards. The country is prepared
to accept responsibility for all
young people, 62 million under
18 and millions more in their late
teens and 20s. We have to think
in terms Of all young people"
In his travels from State to
State attending workshop meet
ings in preparation for the Wash
ington session next year Mr..
Gomberg says he finds everywhere
parental bewilderment on how
to cope with the rapid changes in
society" He noted that his own
son. %, talks "a language I've only
recently begun to learn"
The communications gap be-
tween parent and child is more
pronounced now, he says, and
parents may no longer represent
"the same source of positive val
ues" as they did a generation ago.
Mr.. Gomberg says he heard
many children participating in
the workshops express opinions
anything but complimentary about
the examples parents set these
days. They are confused over the
legal definition of maturity" and
want adults to make up their
minds on this issue.
Some Inconsistencies
They cite the fact that they
can serve in the armed forces at
age 18 but cannot vote in most
States. At II they are eligible for
a drivers license in some States
but not at 16. In some areas they
are subject to curfew at IA, but
not at Is. Where to draw the line?
In President Eisenhower's call
for the conference he said: "The
rapidly changing times in which
we live and the increasingly fast
pace of change make it incumbent
upon us to do everything we can
to plan ahead and to see that we
prepare today's children well for
life in tomorrow's world"

A tough-minded, mellow-voiced
Irishman soon may topple James
A. Hoffa from power, though
mightier men have failed. Martin
F. ODonoghue waits only for a cue
from the Supreme Court to de-
throne the Teamsters Union presi-
dent.
The court is expected to rule
shortly on Mr.. Hoffa's challenge
to Mr.. ODonoghue's cleanup cam
paign. If Mr.. Hoffa loses - and
many experts think he will-Mr.
O'Donoghue's board of monitors
will press a purge Of the Team
sters.
Mr.. ODonoghue, a leading
Washington labor lawyer, Is a
dedicated champion Of unionism.
Teamster corruption outrages him,
and he views Mr.. Hoffa as a trail
tor to labor. The normally mild
Mr.. O'Donoghue is fired with mis-
sionary zeal: he intends to save
labor from Hoffaism.
The AFL-CIO tried and failed
to break Mr.. Hoffa's power. So
did Senator McClellan's Rackets
Committee. The new labor reform
law was designed to "get Hoffa,"
but probably will do no more than
complicate his life a bit.
Only the board of monitors
stands real chance of defeating
Mr.. Hoffa. It operates with the
backing of the Federal courts.
And in Mr.. O'Donoghue the board
has a leader who possesses the
courage to slug it out with Mr..
Hoffa and the skill to outwit him.
History Of membership
The three-man board of moni-
tors was appointed in January,
1858, by District Judge F. Dickin-
son Let's. Judge Let's established
the membership to oversee the
Teamsters as part of a comprom-

policing by the monitors.
Mr.. ODonoghue turned out to
be a tough cop. He pushed flnan-

for the rank-and- files democratic
rights and demanded disciplinary
action against several key Hoffa
lieutenants charged with corrup-
ton.
