Requested
For Study
Plan Drawn Up
For Lane Juvenile
Delinquency Survey
By SAM FREAR
or the Rei tstertjuard
An application to the fed
eral government for $174,
576 to finance a study of
juvenile delinquency in
Lane County was filed last
week.
The research proposal was
drawn up by Kenneth Polk, as
sistant professor of sociology at
the University of Oregon and
sponsored by the recently form
ed Lane County Youth Study
Board.
This organization is composed
of community leaders originally
called together a year ago by
Circuit Court Judge William S.
Fort to discuss means of a com
munity attack upon juvenile de
linquency. Now that there is a possibil
ity described as "encourag
ing" by leaders of the study
board of federal funds to
help Eugene study the commun
ity approach to the problem,
Fort's group decided to organize
formally and is now taking the
initial steps toward incorpora
tion. Nicholson Elected President
The Rev. Wesley Nicholson
was elected the first president
of the Youth Study Board, and
heads a 15-man executive com
mittee.
If Polk's proposed research
plan is approved, it would begin
for an 18-month period on
June 1.
Polk's proposal emphasized
the rural-small city aspect of
Lane County, and the fact that
the University of Oregon pro
vides staff to do research work,
and the interest shown by the
members of the Youth Study
Board.
The requested grant would
come from $30 million made
available by Congress under the
Delinquency and Youth Of
fenses Control Act
12 U.S. Communities
About 12 communities across
the United States will be select
ed for research grants, and of
these, about five may be chosen
to demonstrate a project, based
on the research, to control ju
venile delinquency.
This demonstration grant
could total up to $3 million.
The President's Committee on
Juvenile Delinquency and Youth
Crime has scheduled a meeting
In Washington during the first
week of June, and will make
recommendations regarding re
search grants.

1948, his ideas expressed in

of continuing work by the sher
iff's office to locate slot mach
ines in Lane County. Oregon
law makes it unlawful to possess
slot machines.
Allen explained that the in
vestigation to uncover slot ma
chine operations in the county
involves a variety of methods,
much of the work done through
third parties and over the tele
phone. The seizure early Monday
morning came after a transfer
of the machines had been ar
ranged by the sheriff's office
through undercover methods. A
telephone call came through
unexpectedly late at night indi
cating where the machines had
been placed and could be picked
up.
The deputies went to the
place indicated and found the
machines. A stake-out was put
on the area but no one appeared.
When it became apparent that
no one was coming the mach
ines were tagged as evidence
and taken into custody. No ar
rests were made in connection
with the seizure.
The machines were of a con
ventional type operated manu
ally. They work with a variety
of denominations of coins. The
machines were all locked and
the sheriff's office planned to
unlock them Monday to deter
mine how much money they
contained.
