Boyle Defends Teen Ager Despite Backroom Habits By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (AP) The problem for today oeenn to be to nee what the hiifh school boys in the back of the class room are having heroin or algebra? The question is being explored in a state inquiry into student dope peddling in the schools here. The inquiry has put back on trial my favorite hero of our times the teen-ager. Well, is he a little saint or a young monster? Many people across America will take the inquiry as evidence in support of their belief he is a brash brat, afflicted with vices unknown to his elders when thev were young. The situation . admittedly i i shocking;. The city school super- Soldior'i Hvreie Death Earns Medal Of Honor WASHINGTON tVi The Medal of Honor has been awardrd posthumously to Sgt. George D. Libby, who used hit body to shield hu comrades from enemy bullets while evacuating wounded through a Communist cordon. Libby was an army combat en gineer from Casco, Me. This is the official account of the deed that won his nation's high est award for heroism: Libby had loaded some wounded soldiers onto a B 5 artillery tractor, near Taejon, Korea, last July 20. The tractor sped through Com munist road blocks, Libby stood between the driver and the enemy, absorbing round after round of but I lets. Even after ht was too weak 1 to fire, he held his body erect be side the driver. Libby died, but i the tractor got safely through the ! lines. When he died, Sgt Libby was Jl years of age. Gen. Omar Bradley, chairman of i the joint chiefs of staff, will pre I sent the medal at the Pentagon en I June 21 to Libby's sister, Mrs. .Gladys Hillerts of Linden, N. J. The metal columbium w a Iso lated by a British scientist in 1801 from a shipment of ores from New England. intendent has said he would accept police estimates that 1 500 hi?h school students here arc possible users of marcotics. But there are 300 000 students here. That means only one out of 200 has puffed the marijuana cig arette or sniffed heroin. The other M appear to be able to suffer al gebra without the aid of a hypo dermic needle. None of the reported 1,500 young victims is accused of inventing heroin or importing it. They got it from grownup peddlers former teen agers themselves presumably and they were inducted into ad diction by these grownups. If the police had rounded up these grownups earlier, there woudn't be the present problem among the young. Recently I wrote a defense of the teen ager. It brought a lot of mail, pro and con. Today I'd like to present a defense of my defense of the teen ager, still the best kid in history. Let's hear from a teen ager seventeen y a r-old Ruth Eli nor Howell of Maryaville, Wash.: "When I hear people bemoaning the state of today's youth." she wrote, "I always wonder if they have thought just who made us what we are. Who promotes all the thins to temot teen aeers? Not us it's the adults. I 'I for one have never known a day when our world was not in strife, either major or minor. We teen agers aren't allowed to crit icize the adults of today for their poor management. Vet we are ex pected to save the country from disaster by giving our lives in wsrfare. "If we had our way, there wouldn't be any warfare unless the adults did the fighting. It isn't fair for adults to start a war and expect youth to fight and win it. "So to the adults of today I say: Don't criticise us criticise yourselves. We're watching you closely and honestly trying to do our best. Can we help it if your examples for us are no better they are? ' The defense rests Marriage Career Fails, Gives Baseball Tryout BI FFAI.O, N. Y. -P How ard kriegbaum, 26, has tried mar riage. Now he wants to try pro fessional baseball, his first love. Kriegbaum was granted an an nulment on grounds that his wife, Joan, refused to have children. He testified that she slso refused to let him try out with the Brook lyn Dodgers and the Cincinnati Reds when he received offers from the two clubs in 1948. "I've decided to go back and try for a baseball career," he commented. Egg Pity pOOf Abnor, Die hum)n rociet H i tuck finqtr In m open socket! Like rocktri Yo f 4 it.
