Area War on Delinquency

The regional attack on juvenile de-
linquency planned by the Institute of
Metropolitan Area Juvenile Courts Is a
cooperative enterprise of mutual bene-
tit to all Jurisdictions involved It Is
encouraging that authorities concerned
with the problem of youth in crime have
come to realize the Importance of team
work in an area so closely tied together
as Washington and the suburban COM
munities. For experience has shown that
juveniles who get into trouble in one
part of the area may also run afoul of
the law in neighboring communities.
To provide the juvenile courts and
related agencies with a full record of
delinquency cases throughout the re-
gion, the institute plans, first, to estab-
liSh uniform system of reporting de-
linquency cases and, second, to create
central file listing all offenders and de-
tails of their violations. Participating in
this worthwhile program are the Dis
trlct and Montgomery, Prince Georges,
Arlington and Fairfax Counties and the
cities Of Alexandria and Falls Church.
The program deserves full public sup
port.

Too Many Myths?'

during the decade Of the 1950S, the
student population in colleges increased
by 1.3 million. Between 1860 and 1870.
the Department of Health, Education
and Welfare predicts that college en-
rollments will Jump by 3.4 million. The
department. explains this sudden up
surge by a series of projections which
assume, among other things, an increase
IN the number of high school graduates
(some 100000 more year at the end
OF the 1O-year period), a constantly in
creasing percentage of high-school
graduates entering colleges, and longer
periods OF time spent in college
Up to now, the colleges and univer-
sites of the Nation have managed some
how to handle the heavier loads without
Federal construction aid. According to
administration officials, however, the
time when they no longer will be able to
do so Is rapidly approaching. President
Kennedy, in his message on education,
estimated that $22 billion must be spent
to keep pace with demands during this
decade-three times the construction
achieved in the previous 10 years-and
that large amounts of Federal funds
Will be needed to help bear the burden.
Perhaps so. But DR.. Fred E. Cross
land, New York Universitys director of
admissions, had some things to say on
this subject in recent article which
are worth noting.
According to the New York edu-
Gator, there are "too many myths about
college admissions today" In the first
place, he says, more than half the COL
lege applications are sent to fewer than
10 per cent of all the institutions. The
typical applicant, moreover, applies to
three or four schools, which leads DR..
Grassland to believe that "overcrowding
today Is in the admission offices, not in
the freshman class" Actually, he says,
no more than so of the 1000 institutions
OF higher learning in the country have
more qualified applicants than thew
can handle. AS result, he concludes,
there Is sufficient room in the combined
capacity of all American colleges to &C
commodate "every reasonably qualified
candidate desiring admission"
These comments provide sufficient
reason, it seems to us, to wonder whether
the problems of college admission which
we have heard so much about in recent
years are quite as dark as they have
been painted. At any rate, they should
provide some consolation to the parents
OF high-school seniors during the i'm
mediate future.
The larger question, however is
whether full and adequate consideration
mas been given to unused college capac-
ity in connection with the proposed ex-
penditures of massive amounts of
Federal funds for new construction
a program which, once begun, is bound
to grow. No doubt the conditions which
DR.. Grassland describes will not prevail
indefinitely. But he expects that thev
will prevail at least for the next few
years. And we suspect that to lesser
degree his remarks will remain per-
tinent In the years which follow as WELL

Man in the House

At least three factors led in Decem-
Der, 1854, to the now controversial Dis
trtct rule which denies dependent
dren relief aid to families in which an
unmarried man is present and acting
as a member of the family.
The first was a presumption that a
child IN such situation, because of
the presence of the man, "is not de-
prived Of parental support" Gerard M.
Shea, the District welfare director, has
taken the position that the man in the
house should be presumed as matter
OF public policy to assume the same re-
sponSibility for support which falls upon
Stepfathers, and that to do otherwise is
to establish double standard for relief
recipients.
Another factor which led to the
adoption of the new rule, according to
welfare officials, was a concern that
previous policies were encouraging
promiscuity and the prolongation of IL
licit relationships by the mothers of the
children involved. The third factor was
alarm at the mounting costs of welfare.
The Department of Health, Education
and Welfare made note of these con-
Germs in review of the rule change in
August, 1855. "It is of interest,"" the
report said, "that articles in the press
reporting on the revised policy attrib-
uted to the agency 1.-THE District welfare
agencyl the claim that the policy would
serve to curb illegitimacy, Illicit living
arrangements, and spiraling aid-to-de-
pendent-children relief COSTS"
Commissioner Tobriner may well be
right in questioning whether the pre-
Sumed parental support" actually is
Forthcoming in adequate amounts-or
at all-from non-fathers in such cases.
Indeed, the likelihood in many cases is
that 1t is not.
But 1t also seems obvious that re-
laxationS in this rule are likely to make
it more desirable to stay on relief rolls
than to get off-a result which is hardly
consonant with the current emphasis of
the HEW on moves to stimulate the re-
Mobilization and self-dependency of well
fare recipients. Commissioner Duncan,
Furthermore, has indicated that he is
concerned with the same moral queS-
tions which troubled welfare officials in
1854
Finally, such revisions as those sug-
geSted by Mr.. Tobriner would require a
greatly increased investigative staff, and
the expenditure of more funds for well
fare than are now in sight In the long
run, as the Commissioner has said, this
fiscal problem more than anv other is
likely to dictate where and when
changes in the welfare program may be
made.

Oak Ridge Branches Out

be as constructive for mankind as the
A-bomb was destructive.
The Tennessee atomic laboratories
have more time and space for non
atomic research, now that the early
phases OF our nuclear program for war
and peace have been completed. The
Acc suggested two years ago that the
Oak Ridge facilities be used for various
types Of scientific studies for which the
laboratories might be fitted, especially
in chemical fields. Now the Interior
Department, acting on the suggestion,
has authorized the Oak Ridge plant to
begin an intensive effort to solve the
problem of cheap water through de-
Salinization, with a view to making
plenty of potable water available for
everyone where salt or brackiSh water
aboundS.
Several methods of removing salt
from water have been developed At
one Federal experimental plant at
Gulfport, Texas, salt water has been
converted into sweet" water at cost
of about ST per 1000 gallons. While this
is a drastic drop from the cost of pre-
viouS processes, the aim is to bring the
cost down to level comparable with
that of filtered water from rivers or
similar sources of supply. (The mini
mum charge for metered water in the

This is in regard to the
news articles relative the
Sadistic beating and robbery
of a bus driver, performing
his duties as a public servant.
1t is true that as a humane
gesture, some one of the many
passengers should have come
to his aid or rescue. It is
also true that some persons
out of a cited 20 or 80 on the
bus could have given their
names to appear as witnesses.
There are, though, some
extenuating considerations in
defense of this seeming lack
OF courage. A gang Of hood
lums such as these, as a rule,
carry and don't hesitate to
to use, knives for attack and
their own defense - knives
which are flicked open on
the least provocation. There
is always the fear of reprisal
for those who testify. An
other reason for the heSi-
fancy in wanting to be a
witness, which can be rem
edied, is the fact that a wit
ness, in any case, may be
called into court, and sit for
a whole day or possibly
longer before being called on
thereby losing time and
money. In such cases, if a
witness could come to court,
give his account of what hap
pened and a description, sign
a deposition before a lawyer
and a notary-possibly TAX
ing only an hour of his time
I think it might be an in
ducement for more persons
being willing to testify.

The long inactive Army

untried in battle since the
Bull Run debacle, was ready
to fight a century ago. Some
400 transports full of troops

for the Virginia Peninsula.

for action. The Star of

SO Years Ago

The Battleship Maine,
after lying at the bottom of
Havana Harbor for IA years,
was raised so years ago for
a decent burial. The Star
OF March II, 1912, reported
the vessel had been towed to
a spot in the Gulf of Mexico,
where the depth was at least
600 fathomS. There her valves
were thrown open, and she
started to settle, her decks
covered with banked flowers
and palms, and a great Amer
lean ensign floating from her
jurymast. The impressive
ceremony was attended by a
fleet of American and Cuban
warships, which saluted with
their whistles as the Maine
sank from sight. The remains
of "a of the Names "un-
known dead" were brought
here and inferred in Arling-.
ton National Cemetery on
March %. 1912. At the sug-
gestion of this paper, business
was halted in the Capital for
5 minutes as a gesture of
respect when the mass burial
took place. President Taft
made the funeral grafton.
Selling "firewater" to In
dianS was not only frowned
upon in the Old west, but it
was a violation of the law in
the Nations Capital so years
ago. The Star Of March 2Y,
1912, reported a bartender at
the Hotel Vendome had been
convicted Of selling drinks to
Henry Red Eagle, an Usage
from Oklahoma, and James
Bird. a Winnebago from Ne
braska. It was the first con-
viction of it's kind under a
law which, it was claimed,
was never intended to apply
outside of Indian reserva-
tions. The defense held that
the Indians spoke no English
and could not have ordered
whisky. One of the Indians
was asked by the prosecution
to tell how he ordered whisky,
and after he told an inter-
prefer he knew no English,

three very small boys who have a GER
tain air of distinction about them: Thev
are newborn triplets whose parents
Mr.. and Mrs. Aleksandr Revkov-have
launched them into space, so to speak,
by naming them after history's first
orbital flyers -Russia's Cosmonauts Yuri
Gagarin and Gherman Titov, and Amer
lca's AStronaut John Glenn.
TaSs, the official Soviet news agen-
cy, mas put out a pleasant and rather
touching little story about it all. Accord
Ing to the agency'S Guryev correspond
ent, the ReStovs, who have four other
children, have authorized" him to re-
port to the world that their three new
sons have been named in honor of the
heroic achievements of the three pio-
neer1ng voyagerS in the ocean of space.
And the proud parents are further
quoted as follows: eve promise to bring
up the tripletS to be as brave and GAL
liant as their namesakes."
AStronaut Glenn, together with a
lot OF other Americans, can hardly fail
to be pleased that tribute Of this kind
has been paid to him as we'll as to his
Soviet counterparts. AS for young John
Restov ("John" is said to be an exceed

let brothers will in due course become

named for their time.
