his 12yearKld daughter. The court
reported the boy walked into the
Klamath Juvenile office Decem

and wanted to know what to do.
He was sent to live with a sister
while authorities studied the case:
Judge Vandenberg said the pa
role was granted the boy without
any prior notice given authorities
here. The youth had served four
months in the training school.
Net Imf
Circuit Judge David R. Vanden
berg has nothing on the adminis
tration of the state training school
if h was not informed when
certain 15-year-old boy was being
paroled in 'Klamath county.
The training school admin istra
tion did not know that the boy's
father had been indicted on a
morals charge and sent to the
county jail, SupL M. D. Woolley
declared Monday.

'Fine Kid
The bey in question, Woolley
described as a "fine kid"' who had
been sent to the school with the
request that he be aided in making
certain adjustments. With the aid
of a psychiatrist from another
institution, the boy had apparently
prepared himself to leave the
school, the superintendent said,.
He added that the scnool is
ordinarily provided with informa
tion concerning any charge filed
against a parent of any boy in the
institution, but that no such re
port had come from Klamath
county in this case. Ordinarily,
also, he said, an officer from the
school would have accompanied
a parolee to bis home, but weath
er conditions, lack of help and the
fact that the boy seemed able to
adjust himself were contributing
causes in the sending of. the
youngster home alone in this case
