from the push-button method Of
administering justice. But they
would like judges to take into con-
sideration the factors that they
know from experience are the most
likely to indicate whether a pris-
oner will make the best adjust
ment with a short or long prison
term, with probation or with sus-
pended sentence.
The prediction tables deal with
preventing delinquency as well as
coping with it after it has a head
start. If the social worker-spot-
ting the potential delinquent-can
change even two of the five factors
that lead to trouble, the probable
ties of delinquency are substan-

change from "overstrict or cratic"

mothers supervision from indiffer-
ent to warm, a child could be

to promising youth.

Immediately raised his sights. He
enthusiastically predicted that Mr..
Kennedy would become the ppeN-
dental nominee at the 1860 con-
vention land he will win the elec-
ton, too"
Mr.. Ribicoff, who had gained
widespread popularity with both
Democratic and Republican voters
here, went on two years later to
win reelection as governor by an
astounding record plurality of
246,000 votes. In 1854 he had
squeezed into Office by defeating
Republican Gov. John Lodge by
only 3,1l5 votes and upset the feel
ing of some that no Jew could win
the Connecticut governorship.
: With his own political future in
the governorship secure following
his 1858 landslide, Gov. Ribicoff
stepped up his methodical boom
for Senator Kennedy for presi-
dent. He never lost an opportunity
either here or out-of-state to
pump for the Bay State lawmaker.
Kennedy's Spokesman
At this years National Cover
nor'S Conference in Puerto Rico,
it was Mr.. Ribicof and Mr.. Bailey
who kept the Kennedy torch burn

garded as the chief Kennedy
spokesman.
Returning from the conferences

being elected its chairman within
the next year or two-the Gov
ernor conferred with the Massa-

Cape Cod summer home. He is

Kennedy.
When he returned to Hartford,
Mr.. Ribicoff announced that
Senator Kennedy would make his

HARTFORD.-When Gov. Abra-
ham A. Ribicotf went before the
Massachusetts State Democratic
Convention over four years ago
to propose Senator John F. Ken
nedy for vice president the move
was viewed'as "a polite gesture"
Political observers and Demo-
cratic leaders didn't take the idea
seriously.
They interpreted the action by
the popular Connecticut Gov
ernor as clever political gem.
but something which wouldn't get
of the ground very far despite
the popularity of the young Bay
State Senator.
In fact, some saw 1t primarily
as move to endear Connecticut's
first Jewish Governor to the
strong Irish Catholic voters in
the Nutmeg State. For 1t is they
who constitute the basic strength
of the Connecticut Democratic
Party. The proposal was, as some
observers saw it, a way in which
Gov. Ribicof was trying to reclp-
rocate for this group which helped
elect him-a member of minor
ity group.
But to almost everyone's sur
prise-and perhaps Mr.. Ribicoff's.
too-the seed planted that night
began to grow.
Gov. Ribicoff moved in imme-
'diately to become the principal
Kennedy hacker. director and
spokesman, even taking the play
away from the Democratic leaders
in Massachusetts.
Works With Stote Choirmen
Working closely with Connecti-
cuts veteran Democratic State
Chairman John M. Bailey, most
able political leader with major
contacts throughout the country.
Gov. Ribicoff listened for sound
ings from major Democratic
strong points in other States.
What he heard convinced Mr..
Ribicoff that his Kennedy for
vice president proposal had
potentialities.
At the 1856 Democratic Ma
tional Convention, Gov. Ribicof
and Mr.. Bailey carefully played
their hand, kept in close contact
with Kennedy hackers and poten-
tial fertile ground in other States.
Gov. Ribicoff made the nomi-
mating speech and helped lineup
the seconding speeches.
For a while during the ballot
ing, it even appeared that Sena-
tor Kennedy was in reach of the
nomination. But on the con-
elusive ballot, the nod went to
Senator Kefauver.
Had Mr.. Kennedy been nomi-
mated for vice president, Gov.
Ribicoff feels the ticket headed by
Adlai Stevenson would have held
the North in the Democratic
column and cut down on the
Eisenhower-Nixon plurality.
Buoyantly returning from the
convention which saw Mr.. Ribicoff

pending the expected announce
ment that the Bay State Senator
is candidate. For that reason.
Mr.. Ribicoff is serving without
title" but with Kennedy sanction.
The Governor is known to feel
now that Mr.. Kennedy has time
on his side, since he is leading the
pack without any strong con-
tender in an immediate position
to challenge the Kennedy drive.
Because things are going so well,
in the opinion of Gov. Ribicoff,
there is no point of pushing things
too hard at this time.
TroveIs in Ohio
State Chairman Bailey also is
working hard for Mr.. Kennedy.
He accompanied the Senator to
Ohio this summer as Mr.. Ken
nedy made a number Of speeches
to sound out his support in the
Buckeye State.
Although Connecticut's delega-
ton will go 100 per cent for Mr..
Kennedy next year under the unit
vote plan (Ribicoff doesn't have
any doubt about the Senator not
running), it has only % votes.
But that doesn't seem to worry
Gov. Ribicoff, for he has taken
steps to augment that vote as a
starting point. He has virtually
lined up all six New England
States behind Mr.. Kennedy, giving
the latter a regional voting
strength of ia as a starter.
From there, Gov. Ribicof and
Mr.. Bailey are angling for dele
gate votes from other potential
Kennedy areas. especially in the
North.

While Gov. Ribicoff declined pub

it is obvious that the Senator's
stand was slightly embarrassing
to the Governor.
However, the unit vote plan
used here will still assure Mr..
Kennedy the Connecticut block Of
votes.

II insurance companies have
successfully used actuarial tables
to determine life expectancy, why
can't prediction tables be used
with equal success to determine
juvenile delinquency and the
chances of adult criminals be-
coming repeaters?
So argue Sheldon and Eleanor
Glueck, who have been pioneer
ing in criminology for more than
a quarter of a century.
On the basis of their prediction
tables, they can tell you if Johnny
is a real delinquent or an adven-
turous youngster just trying his
wings in the big world. They can
forecast whether youngSter max
ing his first appearance in Juve-
nile Court can be trusted on pro-
baton or needs the authoritarian
environment of a training school.
They can predict the likelihood of
an adult prisoner adjusting to
prison or becoming a warden's
headache.
After more than three decades
of studying where criminals come
from and where they are going,
the Gluecks believe that the po-
tential troublemakers can be
spotted by using selected factors
in their early life history.
Report in New Book
Their tables, their defense Of
this theory of criminology and
their reports on the effectiveness
of their method, are presented
in Predicting Delinquency and
Crime" just published by Harvard
University Press.
Both Gluecks are associated
with Harvard Law School. Both
have received honorary degrees
of doctor of science from Harvard.
Both have testified at congress
sional hearings on juvenile de-
linquency. Their stature is such
that leading penal institutions
and the courts have co-operated
with them in gathering the case
studies from which they have
compiled their prediction tables.
What they are saying in effect
is that prediction tables of be-
havior are a better yardstick for
determining what to do about a
juvenile or adult criminal than
the prejudices of judge, the
theories of a probation officer
or the hopes of parole board.
Worren's Ideos on Sentences
Chief Justice Warren, in an in
PRODUCTION to the thought-pro-
voking volume, echoes this idea.
1--WE have all observed instances
Of excessive sentences" he writes,
"but, just as frequently, we have
noted instances of commitments
for periods far too short to enable
institutional authorities to edu-
cate and train the individual to
take his place in the community
as a law-abiding, self-respecting
citizen. Most people will agree
that such disparity in sentencing
Is a roadblock to the effective ad-
ministration of criminal justice. I"
The Gluecks are not advocating
any mechanical adherence to their

1t was the beginning Of new
hemisphere solidarity which stood
up well after this country became
involved in World War II. Mr..
Rockefeller held the post until
1914 and was widely credited with
having given new meaning to the
Good Neighbor Policy.
President Truman appointed
Mr.. Rockefeller as chairman Of
the International Development
Advisory Board in 1850.
The next year the board rec
commended to Mr.. Truman that

of hunger and famine" and put
poverty, disease and illiteracy to

posal was praised by the President,
but Congress was not ready for
anything so sweeping or visionary.
There was no doubt, however,
that the Rockefeller board had
given impetus to the idea Of tech
meal aid to underdeveloped coun-
tries, generally referred to as the
Point Four program.
On Government Aid
His attitude toward Government
aid abroad was once summed up
by the governor this way:
1--WE can't continue to live In
comparative comfort and prosper
ity in a world of privation and
poverty from a security point of
view, and I don't think the Ameri-

Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller, un-
announced and unabashed about
it, is considered one Of the most
liberal candidates ever to reach
serious contention for the Repup-
lican Party's presidential nomi-
nation.
The lyrics of a Broadway hit
song Of some years back reminded
that "the days grow short when
you reach September" In the
last few weeks, the Governor
seems to have taken note OF this
and, despite Vice President Nix
on's well-advertised lead. is max
ing the moves of a man who has
pretty well decided to go for broke
in 1860.
What kind of a liberal is the
wealthy New Yorker, scion of
Americas first billion dollar fam
lily? How did he come by his
reputation?
Heed and Heart
1t must be said first that Nelson
Rockefeller is no Starry-eyed
dreamer. He is a practical do
gooder," a rather rare political
species. With the world as his
arena, he is man of action and
ideas whose head and heart work
in close harmony.
There are many threads in the
Governors liberal fabric. One of
the strongest would appear to
have been put there by the attacks
on his fabulous grandfather, John
D. Rockefeller, ST., as a "robber
baron" who built his tremendous
fortune on the misery Of others.
The psychological effect of the
attacks, which may have pro-
voked a sort of guilt-conscious-
ness in young Nelson, may be
seen in the fact that his senior
thesis at Dartmouth College was
a stout defense of his grand
fathers record.
Gov. Rockefeller has served
under three Presidents. The con-
tributions he made during his
Washington service, both on the
international and domestic fronts,
point up his liberal philosophy.
President Roosevelt brought the
32-year-old businessman to the
Capital in 1910 when he named
him to the newly created post
of Co-ordinator of Inter-Ameri-
can Affairs.

Complexion

Few women give their COM
plexion the regular daily care
it requires for best looks. Even
those Of us who are seriously
interested in keeping a
youthful appearance for as
long as possible run into busy,
hectic times when our skin
care is much more "hit and
miss" than it ever should be.
Reconditioning the skin is
especially important after the
winter months of cold wealth
err, SCOT and overheated
houses, rough winds and sud-
den changes in temperature.
We cannot think of a per-
sonal rejuvenation without
considering some special skin
care, at least for a few weeks.
Dryness is the problem most
women have, especially from
middle age on, and especially
just following winter. AS a
part of your identifying pro-
gram resolve not TO pass by
a single day without ade-
uuately cleansing and lubri-
eating the skin of your face
and neck.
I believe in using a rotary
motion with the fingers very
gentle) when working cleans
sing cream or lubricating
cream into the skin. / think
that the long upward strokes
so often advised are much
more apt to stretch the skin
than a light, rotary motion.
Let 1t Soak
Let your oily cream soak in
to the skin for at least a
half hour-longer when pos
sible. Masks and astringents
are helpful to those who have
large pores. If your problem
is an oily epidermis, use a
complexion brush and soap
and water SEVERAL times
q day EVERY DAY.
In a few weeks this sort
of care will show results.
