Keating Urges
Tough Policy
0nDeIinquents

Senator Heating. Republican
Of New York, today called fol-
a "get tough" policy toward
juvenile delinquents.
I'VE must never forget that
when teen-agers organize for
crime, when youngsters commit
murders or repeat their lawless
acts over and over again, they
must be brought to book" he
said in a speech prepared for
delivery on the floor. "They
must be punished for what they
are-criminals."
He said both New York and
Washington had been shocked
by recent examples Of teen-age
violence. There have been seri-
Gus indications Of a Washing
ton crime wave which has de-
fed the spirited efforts Of an
understaffed police force. he
said.
The solution lies somewhere
between an effort to help and
understand the roots Of delin-
quency and tough minded Grim
inal punishment for criminal
offenSeS, he said.
But he took issue with an
argument advanced by study
groups against stronger end
harsher methods for dealing
with young law violators.
He said the public had a right
to know the names of repeated
young offenders who thumb
their noses at law enforcement. "
He warned that society must
act decisively and Immediately
to eliminate what FBI Director
j. Edgar Hoover has character
lied as misguided sentiment
tally" toward young criminals.
The Senator praised Gov.
Rockefeller for scheduling a
series Of meetings next week to
deal with the New York City
juvenile crime crisis.
"In the end. of course, crime
and delinquency are essentially
local problems to be solved at
the local level" the Senator
said. They will be solved by
tough-minded realists who rec
ognize the Importance of SYM
pathy and understanding while
practicing harsh methods on
young people who deserve
them"

HuIf-Yeur Birth
Rate Hits Record
OF 2,O56,000
BY the Associated Press


More babies we're born in this
country in the first half Of
1859 than in any previous first
half of a year.
The Public Health Service
reported yesterday there were
2,056, 1000 registered live births
this year through June 30 This
was l per cent greater than the
previous record in the first half
of 1857 and l.6 per cent more
than in 1858.
But the birth rate was down
slightly. from 23.7 per 1000
population in the first half of
1858 to 23.6 this year because
the total population increased
in greater proportion than the
number Of births.
The service said a continual
ton through December of the
same relative rate would mean
about 4,270, 900 registered births
or about 4,3l3,000 total births
during 1859.
The estimate for 1858 was
100000 registered and $4,000
unregistered, or a total of A.
100000.
Marriages continued an up
ward trend during June to
make the six-month total
$4,000, up 3.9 per cent from
$4,000 in the similar 1858
span.

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
why Not Ask Early About Fee?'
By DR.. PETER J. sTEINcRoHN

Doctors and their patients
often become bad friends"
because of a misunderstand-
ing about bills. The number
one reason is that they begin
too late their discussion
about payment for services
rendered.
II your wife is going to
have a baby; II you have a
gall bladder that has to come
out; if you are going to
engage the doctor for a long
series of Office treatments; If
you are planning to have a
yearly checkup" don't hes
itate to discuss fees BEFORE
you incur them.
Every doctor I know would
welcome such a discussion.
Then why, you may ask,
doesn't the doctor do so?
They don't mainly for this
reason: Talking money" to
a sick individual or to his
anxious family would label
him as being more interested
in money than he is in his
patient. Most doctors aren't
"money-minded" in spite of
what people think. The
patient and his illness comes
first.
The remedy is evident.
Why not initiate a discus
sion that your doctor will
welcome? If his fee seems
reasonable. his bill will not
produce post-operative or
post-illnesS shock and re-
sentiment.
If his fee seems too high
If another doctor of equal
reputation will treat you for
less-you have a right to go
elsewhere.
Bartering for health is
not the same as going shop
ping for a new hat or pair
of shoes: nevertheless. yours
is the right.
In spite of all their So
called tribulations. married
men live longer than their
bachelor friends. Loneliness
seems to be a greater danger
to health and longevity than
marital stress.
But I think there is an
other reason why the mar
ried live longer. It's because
there is a doctors first as
sistant in every conjugal
home. Without wives to help
husbands carry out doctors
orders, married men might
be dying of faster than
bachelors.
