Cities over 25,000 (253 cities O over 25,000, total 1950 popula tion of 25,213,979) dominated the Overall 2.3 per cent increase in arrests of juveniles. These lar ger cities reflected a 2.8 per cent rise in arrests of young persons under 18 while total arrests de creased 0.5 per cent. Arrests of young persons (under 18) in smaller cities re mained almost unchanged with a 0.2 per cent increase shown. In these cities, total arrets de creased 5.2 r cent.

Crime Controllable First of all, we need to know that juvenile crime is not an un controllable problem. Something can be done about it. In more than a few areas of the country something is being done.

No "cure-all" remedy has been found. Hard work, determination, and com munity cooperation appear to be the common denominators rather than specific methods of attack. The methods varied. They ranged from programs of youths policing themselves, to the courts holding parents responsible for the acts of their children. Getting "tough" with delinquents was ef fective in one area. Police boys clubs worked "in other areas. Still others emphasized improve ment of recreational facilities. While methods were many and varied, all groups stressed one thing: Prevention of crime. Preventive efforts with rela tion to delinquency problems can be most effective when the specific causes of delinquency are once ascertained. These vary. Magnuson Raps Kuykendall Verdict Washington 0J.R) Sen. Warren G. Magnuson said to day the chairman of the Feder al Power commission should have disqualified himself from the decision to let a private util ity develop power in Hells Can yon. The Washington Democrat said Chairman Jerome Kuyken dall should have done so be cause of his relationship with Gov. Arthur B. Langlie of Wash ington. Langlie is an opponent of de velopment of Hells Canyon pow-! er by the government and re portedly sponsored Kuykendall for the FPC post. In an interview with Rural i Electrification Magazine, Mag-; nuson also said he believed the FPC membership was stacked against the Idaho Power Co. to develop the power resources of Hells Canyon along the Snake river on the Jdaho-Oregon border.- But public power advocates have asked the FPC to recon sider the decision. If the FPC decision stands, they have prom ised to appeal to the U. S. Court of Appeals. Magnuson said there are "good prospects" the appeals court would overrule FPC be cause FPC has "failed to admin ister our natural resources" in accordance with the Federal Power Act.

Not Uncontrolable Problem; Director off FEB Maintains Delinquents come from wealthy as well as poverty-stricken homes. It is the way a child is reared and the atmosphere of the surroundings in which he is reared that make him what he is. Almost invariably there is a cause-and-effect relationship be tween the delinquent and the at mosphere of the home. - Consider the 10-year-old child arrested in connection with a number of store burglaries. The youngster's mother, a widow, re portedly was a heavy drinker and frequented bars. Apparently she gave the boy little care , or attention as evidenced by the fact that he prepared his own MfTtmUMl... tnw nut LAUNDRY MARKING SET Writes directly on fabrics black indelible ink dries quickly . . : comes with a generous supply of Iron-On tape for dark fabrics 1.00.

We need to debunk the debunkers who continuously slander traditional standards of conduct, morality and patriotism. We need to demand responsibil ity on the part of parents. The Biblical charge to "train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it" is as sound today as it was one or . many genera tions ago.
