But, Miss Milliken added, such
a girl got her patriotic, motives
mixed and set out from an un-1
satisfactory home to "see what
it is all about."
Protest Blaming Youths
Probation officers at the con
vention were vehement in pro
test against the assumption that
the youngster is entirely to
blame for the ' current rash of
juvenile delinquency which has
spread across the country.
with youth," says Austin L.
Porterfield, professor of sociol
ogy at Texas Christian Univer
sity, "grows out of the peevish
ness, rejection, Impatience, irre
sponsibility or criminal attitudes
of those who complain."
Parents, most everyone is will
ing to agree, are usually to
blame for the unsettled home
conditions and lack of innocent
recreational ' facilities which
drive children out - into the
streets, according to the conven
tion consensus.
"Victory Girl
Even the most seemingly-brazen
of the wartime delinquents,
the "victory girl," is often the
"victim of exploitation" accord
ing to Miss Milliken. Here the
pasty-faced night clerk in a
cheap hotel may befriend the
adventuresome young girl he
meets in a skating rink.
"Through his 'good offices' she
meets a number of young sol
diers who cheerfully assume
that any girls they meet at the
place were there for the express
purpose of brightening their fur
lough time in every way." And,
without quite knowing how it
happened, the girl is classified
as a sexual offender by the po
lice. '
Urges Attention Today
But, warned the authorities,
the problem is not one to be
pushed into the post-war files.
Today's problem, said Mark Mc
Closkey, director of the Com
munity War Services of the Fed
eral Security Agency, must be
handled today, and in a more
efficient manner than it has been
thus far.
World War II, he said, has not
produced new causes of delin
quency but has turned the spot
light on old ones. "The nation
was shocked," he added, "at re
sults they should have expected
from disrupted families, uproot
ed homes, loosening of social re
straints, fewer children at school,
more children at work with
more money to spend."
