PARISH STREET SATUR-
DAY NIGHT: | was settin down
eatin ma feesh and drinkin my
beer, and reached that mellowed
state where my mind began to
drift back to the days of long
ago and | go to thinking about
an old man with an ugly but
kindly face, who always carried
a sack on his back that my mo-
Their told me he used to carry-off
bad boys and throw them in the
river. He used to come into our
neighborhood always between
dusk and dark, and in a deep and
to me forboding voice, would
always herald his coming by
loudly proclaiming Ole Rock
Daniel is late Tonight ]
don't remember ever waiting to
see him on those semi-noctural
visits because as soon as / heard
him, | never looked to see but
ran into the house and eased UP
along sid my mother to make
sure that she didn't have moth
ing on her mind that might lead
her to turn men over to Old Man
Rock Daniel so that he could put
me in his sack and throw me in
the river. Me and my crowd of
kids was brave and bold in re-
gard to things like catching
snakes and crawfish, swimming
in the flood waters of Pearl
River, but we was all scared of
Ole Man Rock Daniel and our
folks could always put US in line
by saying Boy, you keep on
with your devilment and Pm
gonna turn you over to Ole Man
Rock Daniel. Put Ole Man Rock
Daniel and my Pa with his strap
or wet rope together and you
have the two folks that kept me
scared enough to keep me out
of whole lot of real trouble
when l was a boy growing up, up
and Down Parish Street and
around this town Well, |
guess you're wondering now
what made me tell this story.
So I'll tell you that its things
like that that comes to me whilst
I'm setting down eatin ma feesh
and drinkin ma beer, but | reck-
on Pm tell it more because the
members of the Tribe-Haggar
are now letting their children
grow-up without being afraid of
their pa, or anything or any
body, although it is easy to dis
cover that there is a lotta wis
dom in fear when you read
where the Bible says The Fear
of The Lord is the beginning of
Wisdom Folks can write
and talk all they want too about
youth delinquency but it Amt
never gonna be cured until there
something or somebody to keep
the kids scared unit lthey learn
some sense lack it used to
be with me about my pa
and Ole Man Dock Daniel.

Robert Kennedy Asks
Delinquency Curb

Attorney General Kennedy
assured a House subcom-
mittee today that he felt the
Federal Government should
not take over State RESPONSE
bilities In an all-out drive on
juvenile delinquency.
At an Education subcom-
mittee hearing on Q bill to
provide $40 million for 5 years
for training programs and
pilot projects on that problem,
Mr.. Kennedy declared this
was about as much money as
the Federal Government should
be asked to put up.
The Attorney General en-
phasized that the primary
responsibility for combating
juvenile delinquency and its
basic causes rests with States
and local communities. He
defined the Federal Govern
ment's role as that Of a CO.
ordinator Of information and
programs. and as a stimulator
Of specific local action.
Mr.. Kennedy indcrsed the
pending bill but said he
doubted that 1t should be
regarded as the start Of any
permanent Federal program
beyond the Governments over
all functions of law enforce
ment and improvement of
general economic and social
conditions.
II would hope that the
communities and States could
take over the financing after
five years" he added.
No member of the subcom-
mittee raised the often-asked
question as to whether violent
television programs were a
factor In Juvenile delinquency.
But Mr.. Kennedy, in talking
later with reporters, said he
regarded such programs as "a
major factor"
Mr.. Kennedy called for study
and action at all levels of gov
ernment to overcome the causes
and effects Of juvenile delin-
quency. He said the problem
involves something much bigger
Evening star., 1961-07-12

than the wrongdoing or incor-
rightly Of youngsters.
ITO lick juvenile delinquency, "
he said, I'VE will have to offer
something to many kids who

Franklin D. Roosevelt, mapped
crash programs for each OF
these countries during its six
months of existence.
Officials here stress that the
task force was an action"
group whose job was to help
the new Kennedy administra-
ton over the rough spots in
relations with Latin America
while the new Alliance for Prog
ress policy was being planned.
Debts Rescheduled
In quantitative terms, the
most spectacular achievement,
according to these officials,
was the adjustment and re-
scheduling of nearly 81 billion
which Brazil owed to foreign
creditors.
With the help of President
Kennedy's task force, Brazil
has been able to postpone some
payments and make others to
international, American and
European banks.
The most explosive political
situation the task force had to
handle was in Bolivia. Off
cialS say the country was on
the verge of a Castro-Com-
munist revolution because of
the near-Standstill of Bolivian
tin mines and the obstructive
power Of entrenched trade
union leadership among the
miners.
Shortly after the task force
was formed in February it sent
one of its members-Willard
Thorpe-on a 12-day fact
finding tour of Bolivia. Within
weeks after his return the
United States began sending
SIS million worth of anti
subverSive equipment to the
Bolivian armed forces. and
started economic aid designed
to get the tin mines back in
efficient operation.

about by the pilfering of the
treasury by former dictator
Perez Jimenez.
Mr.. Berle, who is retiring to
his New York law firm, still will
keep a hand in Latin American
affairs. He is to form a new
task force on a consulting basis
with United States Information
Service to map out a propagan-
da and information offensive
in Latin America.
Red Propaganda Extensive
Officials say the Soviet bloc
is now spending about 500
million a year in the area on
propaganda and infiltration
while all American cultural &C
tivitieS amount to no more than
SIS million. They say the Com
munists have begun to concen-
trate on high school students
who are progressively indoc-
trinated as they move through
the educational systems of the
continent.
During It's short life Mr..
Berle's task force was the OBJ
iect of criticism in Congress
and the State Department. AL
though it worked under Secre-
tary of State Rusk. it had di-
rected connections with the
White House and often took
charge Of Latin American af-
fairs outside the established
State Department hierarchy.
Its disbanding and the con-
current appointment Of Robert
S. Woodward to fill the vacant
post Of Assistant Secretary Of
State for Inter-American At
fairs In the State Department
are expected to still that criti-
cism.

Councilman David l.. Cahoon,
one of three council members

recognized the problems and
was interested in reaching g
solution as soon as possible.

to the Constitution.
The full District Committee
is expected to approve the bill.
Basically, it amends a 1855 law
which provides for elections in
the District of delegates to
political conventions and Of
certain political party officials.
The Kennedy administration,
through the District Commits
sioners. had requested an l8-
year minimum voting age, a
90-day residence requirement
and a broad absentee voting
provision.
But the subcommittee elm
mated all three proposals
winding up with a voting age
limit of 81 years, a one-year
residence requirement and a
strict provision on absentee
voting.
The administration proposal
would have enabled registered

condition to come personally to

The absentee provision, as
the bill now reads, would apply
only to members of the armed
forces, the, merchant marine,
religious and welfare organiza-
tions serving with the armed
forces and members of the
Foreign Service serving over
seas with their dependents in
residence with them.
Most of the amendments
were those suggested by Rep
resentative Broyhill, Republic
an of Virginia. Chairman Nc
MILAN of the House District
Committee previously had said
the absentee voting provisions
would have to be tightened. He
felt administration proposals
were too loose and opened the
