How a 17-Year-OId Boy Became Murderer

the children from falling out.
Gonzalez added his own touches:

imprinted with Biblical quota
tions.
Each day, Esmeralda went to
her job in the, hat factory and
Gonzalez to his in a textile fac
tory. "Stay home. Do not go out"
they warned the children. Aureo
and Salvador obeyed. budding at
the window and watching the
world go by.
One day, some boys teaSed Sal
vador, saying Aureo was his girl
and that they did forbidden
things together. Salvador ran into
the street-never again to be con-
tent with leaning on a window
sill.
It was better on the streets.
There were rooftops to explore
and peek at young lovers and
learn about grownup sex. And the
roofs were launching pads for
bags Of water or garbage to dump
on "Americans"-meaning any
one not Spanish - walking the
street.
In the candy stores he got a
piece Of sugar cane-juSt like in
Puerto Rico-that would last a
day. And there were stands SELL
ing rice and beans or hot dogs
and pop.
The Roll Coll Of Gongs
On the stoops, he stood in OPEN
mouthed awe and listened to the
brave talk Of older boys about
rumbles with Italians and Irish
and Negroes. He heard the roll
call Of gangs-Heart Kings, Drag
ons, the Enchanters. He laughed
wildly at the big joke as girls in
tight toreador pants did outrage
Gus fox trots, mimicking the dance
Of the proper Americans.

at She learned the ruse of rails
ing his arm for permission to go
to the washroom. Then he'd run
away. He was afraid to go home.
And then coming home very late,
catch hell from Carlos Gonzalez.
The truant officer chased him
and so did Gonzalez. And at the
age of 10, with the family's con-
sent. Salvador went to a special
school for troubled boys. He was
no worse or better than the others.
He got the regular counseling Of
a psychologist and, for time,
special therapy of a psychiatrist.
The day before he turned l3,
he came home. Aureo was gone.
She hated Gonzalez so much she
got married at IA to make a home
of her own. Gonzalez insisted
Puerto Rico was better place for
Salvador and packed him off to
his natural father. There are no
ngnClng gangs IN PuerCO Rlco, puC
Salvador brought the big city
tricks with him and got into trou-
BILE. Papa Agron sent him back to
New York.
When Gonzalez was too stern,
Salvador went to Aureo's house.
He liked her husband, Diaz. Agron
did crazy things there. like dress
ing in Aureo's clothes and wearing
lipstick and giggling and squirm-
ing and initiating girls. "Sal used
to do that sometimes when we
were smaller" Aureo says.
Trouble Over Church q
In the dreary, dead-end Brook
lyn factory tenement street where
they now lived, Gonzalez had his
store front Pentecostal Church
Messenger of Christ No. /. He
wanted Salvador to pray and to
listen to his sermons, but some
times Salvador would misbehave
and Gonzalez would be enraged

Business must come to realize
that the Government cannot COM
pete with them in securing a
proper share of talented young
people who appear on the labor
market each year. If they are to
continue to skim the best talent
for service in private enterprise, it
becomes doubly important that
they adopt some formula for max
ing the services Of a number Of
these persons available later in
their careers, after they have re-
ceived broad managerial training.
We are in a tough, competitive
struggle with the governments OF
totalitarian nations. We can not
afford to settle for anything less
than the best available when we
fill positions Of responsibility in
governmental posts-particularly
those that call for. the making OF
decisions in national security.
Business attitude on this prob
lem is dependent on the men who
are now running our cooperative
giants. For a number Of years
they have listened to speeches and
read articles about the Importance
of this subject Not many have
been converted in the process. The
problem is deep and ingrained In
our business society. It Is of mag
nitude that only a determined ef-
fort on the part Of those in high
est authority can hope to alter.
The President must be the one to
act in this area. What can be
done?
Review Is Suggested
A Presidential Advisory Board
should be appointed to review.
study and report on the entire
problem Of getting the best people
to serve in vital government posts.
Such q board should be composed
of some Of the Nations top busi-
ness, labor. academic and Gov
ernment leaders. This board would
be more than a study group. It
should begin its work with an air
Of urgency.
Service in top Government posts
often carries a good deal Of power
and prestige. These posts should
not be granted lightly nor should
they be taken lightly by the ap-
pointee. The person who accepts
one Of these positions should do
so with q determination to serve
a period sufficiently long to enable
him to make significant contribu-
tions to the job. Service at this
level must never be allowed to
become merely part Of the ex-
perience background" to be used
in making an impressive resume.

There is no need for me
to tell any of you how i'm
portant braid has become in
the past year. You see braid
OF all types on jackets. coats,
boleros and just about any
piece of clothing suitable.
Most patterns don't call
for a braid trim, but this
doesn't mean it can't be used.
You know whether or not
you'd like to see this striking
trim on something you plan
to make. If you think it's
right for braid. then go ahead
and add it.
Put on braid by machine
with hand finishing, or if
you prefer, completely by
hand. The instructions I'm
giving you are for a jacket
with collar and revers (illus-
tration) but you can apply
them to your individual
style.
First. measure the amount
OF braid you will need. For
this jacket, I suggest silk
braid "a Inch to one-inch
wide and silk thread. The
thread must match exactly.
BY machine: Carefully pin
the half-width of braid along
