of PTA and other child welfare
groups who. will strongly OBJ.
ject. They will declare that, if
parents were fined or punished
in other ways for vandalism by
their children, desirable parent

Excessive "reminiscences
Because many Of the speakers
and advisors at the White House
Conference have been commit.
ted for years to the theory and
practice of excessive permis-
siveness, and have led in spread
ing this theory and practice,
we can hardly expect that they
will emphasize early restraint
Of the tot as a means of pre-
venting juvenile delinquency.
At the conferences that I at
tended, I heard not a word of
this sort nor did I see a word
about it in the published reports.
Home Control
In recent years, what have
you read or heard at your local
PTA or other community meet
ings about establishing home
control of teen-agers by begin
ming effective control of them
in childhood?
In the acres of print on pre-
vention of juvenile delinquency,
not an area the size of a little
garden plot has considered eff
fectively teaching the tot the
meaning of NO. Millions of doll

quency--hardly a cent to study

Q. Should a child be forced

A. No But if the company Is

play briefly. Thus he will be enc

CURB ON ARMS

planning must begin now at all
levels of government to prevent
unnecessary economic hardship if
disarmament is achieved, the Ma
tional Planning Association has
warned.
1t made public a study, which
said that the economic adjustment
to a major cut in arms produc-
ton would not be easy. However,
it added, there is no valid argu-
ment that arms reduction would
bring about an economic depres-
sion.
The major problem of disarma-
ment, ut said, would be in shifts
of production from one industry to
another, and from one region to
another.

BUDGET DEFICIT

President EiSenhower'S budget
surplus for the fiscal year 1861,
if achieved, will leave him more
than SIS, 900 ,000, 900 in the red for
his two terms in office.
The four unbalanced = budget
years = 1859, 1858, 1855 and 1854
added up to $22, 900, 900, 900 OF
deficit spending.
This apparently will be offset
by a total of $1,000, 600, 900 in
SURPRISES in the four years of
balance 1861, 1860, 1857, and
1856. The eight-year deficit thus
works out at $4,000 900, 900 deficit
of the 1853 fiscal year. That years
budget was prepared by Presi-
dent Harry S. Truman and in
herited by the incoming Republi-
can administration.

PREVENTION and Treat
1nent of Juvenile Delinquency
tops a list of 40 major "areas
of concern" reported by As
states with committees prepar-
ing for the White House Con-
ference to be held March 81 to
April 20, in Washington. More
than 100000 persons are in
volved in preparatory work for
this conference.
First Concern
Of the As states reporting,
80 named Juvenile delinquency
as of first concern. Nearing it
were 80 states naming emotion
ally disturbed children, % NAM
ing retarded children, % NAM
ing religious and spiritual life
of children, and "a naming
establishing ideals and values in
children. Only. 10 states named
the effect of teleYision on chill
dren.
Judging from what the conf
mittees have been saying and
writing, emotional disturbance
will have first place among the
alleged causes of juvenile de-
1inquency, while self-control and
effective parental control begun
in the pre-school years will take
last place. Nor will there be, if
I guess correctly, much if any
emphasis on giving teachers
more authority to control chill
dren in the classroom.
Set Some Limits
Parents of children eight Il
10 will probably be urged tc
establish some limits for these
children and to stiffen up home
control. Then thousands of such
parents will be frustrated, won.
dering how they are going to
carry out this advice, because
so many of these children are
beyond the bounds of parental
control.
What win happen if the con.
ference discusses parents re.
sponsibility for the anti-social
behavior of their children; such
as vandalism? {

Grated on low seriousness. In
the literary field he means
such things as:
"An existential study Of Alice

the predecessor transit company
began using bus operations
here. Mr.. Spear said Mr.. Nc
Leans study should have
covered all buses instead of
merely the 1,060 buses.
Mr.. Mclean said there is no
deficiency or excess required on
buses no longer in existence.
He made it clear the present
reserve is related only to exist
ing buses in the company's
feet.
Answering Mr.. Spear on
cross examination. Mr.. Mclean
declared that practical rnathe-
matics support his theory,
based on actual experience.
Mr.. Mclean urged the COM
mission to make the useful life
Of bus II years, rather than
the present IA years. He said
that the service life of buses
is being extended here and
elsewhere, because these We
hicles are being better con-
Structed..
Attorney Leonard N. Beb-

preciable number of buses in

P.U.C. on Depreciation

The theory Of z. Edward Nc
Lean, chief accountant Of the
Public Utilities Commission,
that D. c. Transit System, Inc,
does not need q fare increase
at this time was vigorously at
tackled today before the COM
mission.
Attorney Harvey M. Spear,
representing the company, con-
tended that 1t has no excess
depreciation funds related to
buses.
Mr.. McLean's position. how
ever, is that there is a $2,414,-
600 excess built up in the bus
account Of the company for
depreciation. He holds that this
fund can be used to absorb
losses on the retirement OF all
rail facilities to be abandoned.
Accordingly, no fare increase
is required now, Mr.. Mclean
said.
But Mr.. Spear tried to show
that Mr.. McLean's position on
this problem now is contrary
to that taken by the commits
sion concerning reserve funds.
Mr.. Mclean, however, did not
agree with this argument.
Mr.. Mclean urged bus de-
probation on a unit basis,
rather than all together in the
fleet account. He said there
are l,060 buses on hand now in

Teacher Pay Plan
A major budget proposal
but one that would not go into
effect until 1962-3-iS a new
teacher pay scale that would
expand the present career rec
ognition program to include
teachers with bachelors degrees.
Initial pay for teachers with.
bachelors and masters degrees
would remain the same as now
at $4,000 and $4,700. At the
top, however, these teachers
could receive career recognition
pay Of $3.50 and $4,000.
Under the proposal, almost
all teachers would be expected
to follow a program aimed at
eventual career recognition
status. Present teachers who
decline to do this would forfeit
some possible pay raises.
Mr.. Whittier said he did not
request that This program 60
into effect next year because
the So million estimated cost
would be "too big a jump" to
add to other spending in
creaSeS.
AS it is, an estimated $3O.5

budget would 60 for salaries for
teachers and supervisory per-

there would be 8e,054 students
in county schools next year.
