election procedures. The mean
ing Is simple.
Upon adoption. District resi-
dents would vote In November
for electors. not for the Presi-
dent and Vice President. The
ballots could carry the names
Of the presidential and vice
presidential candidates nomi-
mated by political parties or
could simply list electors
pledged to those candidates.
Congress would determine this
listing, Just as legislatures in
the States decide.
Then in December, District
electors would cast their votes
here. probably in the Capitol,
for the candidates who won the
election. At the same time.
State electors would be tallying
their votes in State capitals.
The total electoral vote would

Though the result would be

theory can be accepted.
Broken homes often are

he's the one who gets mem
toned in the newspapers.
Mental Theory Discounted
The proposition that delin-
quents aren't really bright Is a
common assumption with little
or no scientific support. accord
ing to the report.
Another popular idea knocked
by the experts Is that "a COM
munity with many Fairgrounds
is a community with little
delinquency" Carefully planned
recreation programs can help,
they say. II cc-ordinated with
other efforts, but their research
indicates 40 direct relationship
between such programs and
delinquency rates.
Bad companions. heredity.
poor physical health and slum
neighborhoods also were cited
by the experts as oft-quoted
causes Of delinquency which
really aren't.
Juvenile delinquency is not
a 24-hour malady." says the
report. 1T does not develop
overnight. Serious and persist
ent trouble with the law
on the part Of youngsters can
be traced back to a long
sequence Of cause and effect" "
Loses Meaning
Even the term Juvenile
delinquent" has become cor
roded, overworked and useless,
except as a dirty word used to
strike back at the kids" says
DR.. William C. Kvaraceus,
director Of the NEA project.
There has been such fire.
quent and indiscriminate use
of the words in recent years
that they don't really mean
anything now"
The current report offers no
pat solution for the juvenile
delinquency problem because.
the experts say, there just isn't
any. A report to be published
later this year will deal with
some principles which have
been tried and found at least
partially effective.
The report did make these
points, however:
There is desperate need for
more and better research than
ever has been attempted in the
field.
Community efforts that have
proven effective must be ex-
banded, and useless practices
discarded.
More and better efforts must
be made to identify the delin-
quency-bound youngster before
he gets there.
Primarily, it said, "in seeking
a cure for delinquency, the
neighborhood, not the child,
must be the patient.
