EDGAR HOOVER D ire c to r, Federal Bureau of Investigation Yount thugs and teenage c rim in a ls may be pressing their luck by Increasing th e ir violent escapades while blaming society fo r th e ir faults. . . . ... . m u » It appears that the public Is beginning to gag on the steady sociological diet of excusing the conduct of teenage hoodlums because “ society has failed them .” Resort communities racked by senseless rio ts and citizens who cannot venture from the r homes without being assaulted and beaten are getting bed up with pampered and Insolent youth gangs. borne courts in the troubled areas are taking a more re a lis tic approach In handling those Involved In these outbreaks. New laws providing stlrte r penalties are being enacted in a te» places. We can only hope that authorities everywhere w ill follow Oils trend. C ertainly, the mere desire of young miscreants to have a “ b la st’ or “ let off steam” Is no excuse to ravage a community and to malm and te rro riz e Its residents. That holiday rio ts and s im ila r antics by carousing youths have evoked widespread concern Is not surprising. It Is su r p ris in g , however, that strong public reaction did not come sooner. F o r several years, the Increasing volume o f crlnrinal acts by voung pe o p le -sp u rre d on by the lenient treatment received—has presented a clear barom etric reading of what we are not witnessing. For instance, from 1960 through 1964, the percentage of young age-group a rre sts fo r homicide, fo rclb e rape, aggravated assault, robbery, b u rg la ry , larceny, and auto theft more than doubled the population Increase percentage of the same group. A rrests of persons under 18 fo r simple assault rose 79"!. drunkenness and related violations 52%, disorderly conduct 18%, and concealed weapons 17% during the same five years. In the light of this shameful p ic tu re , we cannot say that we were not forewarned. The Immediate objective, of course, Is to put a stop to these rumbles and mass vandalism. Meanwhile, the question puzzling most people is what caused the p rinciples and morals o f some of our youth to degenerate to near a n lm a lle v e l. Rec ognizing the problem comes much easier than Its solution. However, o f all the factors Involved, I am convinced one of the most damaging Is the false teaching which tends to blame society fo r a ll the frustrations, woes and inconveniences, real o r Im aginary, visited upon our young people. Teenagers, and th e ir parents, have been subjected to a foolhardy theory which condones rebellious conduct against authority, law and order, o r anv regulatroy measures which re s tric t th e ir whims, wishes, d esires, and activitie s. This astonishing belief has spread Into the schoolroom, the living room, the courtroom , and now Into the streets of our Nation In the form of w ild, drunken brawls. No doubt, society has failed our youth, but not In the way many seem to think. Rather, the d ereliction has been In the fa ilu re to teach them the meaning of d iscip lin e , re s tra in t, s e lf- respect, and respect fo r law and ordei and the rights of others. Consequently, the lesson now Is both p a i n f u l and costly. Child Safety Week Dated In cooperation with the Am erican Safety League, Governor M ark Hatfield has proclaim ed the period September 8 through 15 Child Safety Week In Ore gon. Hatfield urged “ parents, tea chers, police, school and sa fety o fficia ls and the public generally to combine In an effo rt to educate school children In safe tra ve l habits. M oreover, there Is during this p a rticu la r tim e need fo r Increased a le rt ness on the part ol m otorists traveling In school zones, near playgrounds, o r In areas where groups of children are active.” The Governor asked “ that each Oregonian cooperate In every possible manner, not only during National C hild Safety Week, but throughout the year, so that our streets and high ways are safe fo r a ll, and so that the needless to ll of ac cidents, fa ta litie s and econom ic loss may be reduced.” Unemployment Rate Low In August High employment In most out door activities In late August brought the rate of Insured unemployment to Its lo w e s t level fo r the period since 1959, J. N. Peet, com m issioner, De partm ent of Employment re ported here. Peet said that 2.0% rate of u n e m p lo y m e n t among the state’ s covered w orkers com pared to a rate of 2^4% four weeks e a rlie r and 2.1% for the comparable week In 1964. In 1963, the rate was 2.4% for the comparable week; 2.8% In 1962 and 3.0% In 1961. For the week ending Aug. 7, the Insured unemployment rate fo r the United States was 2.5% and In Oregon, 2.2%. Number of weeks claimed last week totaled 8,957 compared to 10,737 four weeks e a rlie r and 9,100 a year e a rlie r. tlon educational fo re st f i r e prevention program .

The Slow Train Have you ever waited fo r what seemed to be hours while a fre ig h t tra in slowly lumbered across the street ahead of you? Have you ever said to your se lf, there ought to be a law? The c i t y of P leasantville passed an ordinance p ro h ib it ing the operation of any train across its street crossings for periods longer than five m in utes. Sometime after the passage of this ordinance, one of the Short Haul Railroad Company’ s tra in s blocked a P leasantville street for almost 15 minutes. The city brought a legal action against the ra ilro a d company under Its new ordinance. “ Five minutes Is an unreas onably short tim e ,” said a rep resentative of the ra ilro a d com pany. “ Such an ordinance dis rupts interstate comm erce, and as such is unconstitutional.” The tr a il court found the time lim it was reasonable. It decided that the ordinance was valid, and that no unreasonable burden was placed on Interstate com merce. The S h o r t Haul Railroad Company appealed. Can a city pass an ordinance lim itin g the tim e that a train can block Its city streets? Yes, said the Supreme Court of Wisconsin In a recent case. The use of railw ay crossings Is a proper subject fo r reason- aide regulation under the police power of the city, ahd public Interest requires such regula tion. A statute o r ordinance w ill be held constitutional unless the contrary Is shown beyond re asonable doubt. In this case no facts were presented to the court which would Indicate that the city ordinance was unreas onable o r invalid.
