Boring Bridge Can
Be Built of Pre-
Stressed Concrete

BERKELEY, Calf, Up = T. Y.
Lin, University of California pro-
fessor, proposed Thursday the
United States and Russia build a
bridge over the Boring Straits.
Lin said it could be built of pre-
stressed concrete, prefabricated in
1,0O0-foot sections and floated
into place to span the 48-mile wide
Straits.
Lin, Civil Engineering profess
sor at California since 1945 and a
leading American authority on
prestressed concrete, said the Ber-
ing Straits bridge probably could
be completed within five years
and would cost under one billion
dollars.
Lin said he developed the plan
at the suggestion of Sen. Warren
Magnuson of Washington. Mag
nuson, ommerce Committee
chairman, felt the idea could
greatly expand commerce be-
tween the two countries"
Lin said Russia is ahead of other
nations in mass use of prestressed
concrete and recently finished a
365-foot span over the Moscow
River

ANU Starts
Dormitory Fund

If the people of Nome can con-
tribute $4,000 to the dormitory
fund of the Alaska Methodist
University, one of the rooms of
the dormitory being built for out
of-town students will have a
plaque calling it the Nome Room,
stated Henry Meyer, financial adj
wiser for the college, who was
Here for last nights dinner meet.
Meyer suggested that the two
Nome students already registered
might have the honor of using
that room the first year.
Members of the Embarrassing
crews will be calling personally
on those in the community who
should be interested in this edu-
cational development for the
State. The fund drive, which will
be the only one for the State, has
a goal set of 100000, which is
for housing only. Everything else
has been contributed from the
other 40 states and the Methodist
Board.
The original plans were to open
with 100 students, but because of
the interest shown, everything will
be stepped up to provide facilities,
teachers and curriculum for $50
students.
The staff of is teachers has al
ready been chosen from over 500
applications, and most have doctor
degrees.
The library, scheduled to start
with couple of thousand volumes
of reference books, has already
been given $4,000 volumes. These
are all technical and classical
reference, stated Henry Meyer,
which normally takes many years
to acquire.
Another interesting feature in
in the plans is fund of $4,000
for student loans, which is to help
those students whose grades indi-
cate ability, but who cannot carry
on without financial help.
The fund drive starts in Nome,
and will be carried to every major
city of the State. Robert Reed of
the MMM Hospital is chairman of
the Nome drive. Bishop Gordon OF
the Episcopal Church is chairman
for the Fairbanks area, and men
and women of many Protestant
churches are participating.

Rural Juveniles Show
15% Risein Delinquency

Juvenile delinquency cases
in rural areas of the United
States increased Is per cent In
1859, while the overall in
crease in the Nation was only
2 per cent. the Children's
Bureau said today.
The bureau also reported a
Z per cent increase in juvenile
delinquency cases in semi
urban areas and a drop Of 2
per cent in urban areas.
Despite the large increase
in rural and semi-urban areas,
the bureau said juvenile courts
in those areas still handled
only about two-fifths of all
court delinquency cases in the
country last year.
But the figures do show that
the pattern of court delin-
quency cases is continuing to
increase faster in rural areas
than elsewhere, the bureau
added.
The 1859 findings roughly
parallel data recently issued
by the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation. which showed a
4 per cent increase in police
arrests of juveniles in 1859
over 1858.
Both juvenile court and po-
lice arrest data show that
since l948 juvenile arrests
and court cases have more
than doubled while the ju-
venile population has increased
by less than one-half.
Evening star., 1960-12-09

The bureau reported that
483,000 juvenile delinquency
cases (excluding traffic of
fenses) were handled by ju-
venile courts in the Nation last
year.
Last years increase was the
smallest reported during the
last decade. The juvenile de-
linquency rate has risen steadi-
ly for II consecutive years.
It was the first time during
that period that the increase
did not exceed the rise in the
child population, which went
up by S per cent among chill
dren of juvenile court age
90 to ID.

Ruling Speeds
Acquitta| After
Insanity Plea
BY PHIL THOMAS
Star Stan Writer

A ruling that makes an in
sanity plea a simpler route to
acquittal in criminal trials has
been handed down by a Dis
trict Court judge here.
The ruling by Judge Luther
w. Youngdahl holds that when
a defendant charged with a
crime raises a defense of not
guilty by reason Of insanity,
he is required merely to intro
duce some evidence of insanity
without having to show spe-
cif1cally that the crime was a
product of the mental illness.
AS a result of the ruling,
Judge Youngdahl yesterday
found Calvin T. Amburgy, "a.
not guilty by reason of insanity
OF charges Of forging three
checks.
round Guilty Earlier
Last September, Judge
Youngdahl had found Amburgy
guilty of the charges. The
judge made this decision after
psychiatrists testified the de-
fendant was suffering from a
mental illness at the time Of
the crimes, but added they
could not state whether the
offenSes resulted from Am
burgy's mental illness.
Thus. in rejecting the in
sanity defense in September,
the judge held. in effect, that
Amburgy's lawyer had failed to
introduce evidence that the
mental illness produced the
crime.
The judge reconsidered the
question on request Of ROLAND
G. Lamensdorf. court-appoint-
ed lawyer for Amburgy, and,
in effect, reversed his earlier
ruling. Yesterday, Judge
Youngdahl ordered Ambur-
gury committed to st. Eliza
beths Hospital.
Shaw Testified
G. Holland Shaw, a member
Of the District Court Advisory
Committee and a nationally
known authority on rehabilita-
tion work with criminals, was
a witness when Amburgy was
tried before Judge Youngdahl
in September.
Mr.. Shaw said the defen-
dant visited his home at 2723
N street NV. several times in
the fall of 1859, when the
forged checks, totaling $3.50.
were written.
Mr.. Shaw testified he had
helped Amburgy on and of
for about 10 years and believes
he needs psychiatric treatment.
