Breok After Youths

Two youthful prisoners in
the Prince Georges County Jail
at Upper Marlboro yoked and
bound a jailer in a desperate
but unsuccessful escape attempt
yesterday.
Sheriff J. Lee Ball identi-
fed the prisoners as Robert
McGill. II. and John Coakley,
18. both of BladenSburg, Md.
Sheriff Ball said the escape
attempt was made about 2:l5
pm. as Jailer Grover Carr, 70,
took a package of cigarettes to
another prisoner in the cell
with McGill.
The sheriff said Coakley, in
an adjacent cell, let himself
out Of his cell using a cardboard
toilet paper roll to trip the lock,
slipped behind the jailer and
yoked him. Coakley then let
McGill out.
Sheriff 3all said the two then
bound and gagged the jailer.
Spotted on Stairs
One of the pair was spotted
as he came down to the first
floor from an old cell block on
the third floor.
Another jailer, Frederick
Bright, ST. of Camp Springs,
Md, said he saw the youth at
a landing near the jail Office
and quickly locked the only
door through which the pris-
oners could escape. He called

were back in their hunks when

Meanwhile. Jailer Carr had
freed himself. His only in

Sheriff Ball said Coakley's
cell could be opened by lifting
a latch. He said he has wanted
to put a new lock on the cell
for some time but has not had
funds for the job.

After the meeting Mr.. Eisen-

for the night.
Glowing Tribute
The stage for their latest
meeting on this fourth day Of
Mr.. Eisenhower's visit to India
was set by a glowing tribute
from Mr.. Nehru to Mr.. Eisen-
hower's pilgrimage in quest Of
peace"
A United States official said
the three hours Of discussions
Mr.. Eisenhower and the leader
of the worlds most populous
democracy have had previously
were exceedingly cordial" He
declared United States Indian
relations at the moment were
at the highest peak since India
became independent.
M. c. Chagla, Indian Ambas-
sador to Washington. said Mr..
Eisenhower's visit to India will
open "a new chapter in world
history"
Tension Eased
| One major result Of the
Eisenhower-Nehru meetings so
far seems to be an easing of
tension between Pakistan and
India-long at loggerheads over
boundaries. water rights and
the princely state of KaShmir
claimed by both nations.
The Indians are reported to
have been assured that United
States military aid to Pakistan
is granted as an ally in the
anti-Communist CENTO pact
and not as a menace to India.
This seemed implicit in Mr..
Nehru's repeated statements
that there are no problems be-
tween India and the United
States.
Discussing his visit next year
to Moscow, Mr.. Eisenhower is
said to have told Mr.. Nehru he
believes Soviet Premier Khru-
shchev is also searching for a
formula for an insured peace.

IL pedestrians killed since January
we're in crosswalks when struck down.
Last year, during similar period.
only three persons had been killed while
walking in the streets. This year the
fatalities have tripled and the number
injured has jumped from 1851 during the
first ~ months of 1868 to 424 so far
this year. Since pedestrians by law are
supposed to have the right of way in
crosswalks, motorists must shoulder the
major part Of the blame for the increase
in deaths in 1859.
The council is fully justified, there
fore, in urging judges, prosecutors and
police to enforce the crosswalk-protec-
ton laws and regulations. The proposal
that motorists arrested for infiicting
injuries on pedestrians be prohibited

A Lot of Bad Apples

Despite some misconceptions to the
contrary, juvenile delinquency is not
really indigenous or limited to America.
Reports from other countries make that
much very clear Tokyo's top police
Organization, for example, has just COM
pleted study showing that extraor-
binary numbers of Japan'S high school
students have been put on probation for
various types of misbehavior ranging
from SenSeleSS vandalism to peculiarly
nasty acts of bodily violence. Similarly,
according to recent news from Moscow,
Soviet authorities have been organizing
groups of volunteers" to cope with what
has been described as serious outbreak
of youthful "hooliganiSm" (including
crimes as grievous as murder) on the
streets and in the parks of RuSSia'S
major cities.
Actually, since the end of the Sec
ond World War, this sort of thing seems
to have become fairly characteristic of
urban life in all induStrialized nations
on both sides of the Iron Curtain. Ideo-
logical systems, whether the free type or
the Communist type, apparently have
little or nothing to do with it. There
just seems to be new degree of mean
verse and even criminally undiSciplined,
among young people everywhere. In
short, far from being confined princi-
pally to the "materialiStic, "Soft-living,"
"self-indulgent" and allegedly "deca-
dent" United States, the problem of jul
venile delinquency is global in character,
and it is at least as bad in some lands
overseas as it is here at home.
What accounts for the phenomenon?
OF course, with the worlds population
multiplying at an explosive rate, there
now are more young people than ever
before, and so it may be said that there
is more likelihood of more bad apples in
the ever-eXpanding barrel of life. But
that seems to be much too simple an
explanation. A great complex of other
factors must be reckoned with as well.
The very nature Of our age, for one thing,
the profound forces of change and vio-
lence inherent in it, may tend to tempt
the young to waywardneSS, and an ad-
ditional baneful influence may be the
decline of parental discipline in CEN
fury that has Strayed far from the old
standards of uprightneSS. But these
are merely speculative points. Possibly,
since the malaiSe is international, the
United Nations should undertake a Spe-
cial study aimed at promoting better
understanding of the thing and thus
pointing the way to some form of cor
receive action.

Revolt in Paradise

There is no reason to doubt that
the Chinese Communists, given time,
can crush the uprising in Tibet. For
the meager forces of the Dalai Lama
cannot hope to withstand the over
whelming military power which can be
brought to bear against them.
There is one thing, however, which
the men of Peiping cannot beat down.
And that is the truth-the true story
of the real nature of things inside the
peoples paradise" For the mere fact
of this revolt carries its own message
to the people of Asia and, indeed, to the
people of the world. A handful of men
have rallied around what Red China'S
Chou En-lai calls the reactionary slogan
of Independence for Tibet" These
men can be Subdued But the spirit
which animated their revolt cannot be
so easily crushed.
The clamping of military rule on
Tibet by Peiping'S order is an open
notification of the pledge of religious
and political autonomy given in 1851.
Red Chinas lies cannot and will not
conceal this fact. And while Chou
En-lai can win this battle, his victory"
may well mark significant defeat for
the Communists in the larger war for
the mind of mankind Wherever the
truth of what is happening in Tibet
can be brought home to them, people
will recognize the real imperialiStS, will
know who really intends to wipe out
the last trace of freedom and indie
pendence. Thus, this revolt in paradise
may yet achieve a notable success
before it has run it's course.
