(International) Success of Curfew Laws Against Juvenile Delinquency Is Debated Chicago iU.B A big problem now confronting many Ameri can cities and towns is the enact ment of curfnw laws, or the en forcement of existing curfew regulations to combat Juvenile delinquency. Authorities seem to disagree as to whether they are necessary, or even effective in preventing teenage crime. Lt. Michael Delaney, head of Chicago's Crime Prevention Ba it leaves you rOnfJi! breathless VODKA f OPrMfOitf 1114 fromf rain Stt.PltrrcSmlrnotf It. (Oiv- l Htubttin), Hartford, Conn., U.S.A. reau, is convinced that curfew enforcement, especially in large cities, is an important factor in eliminating delinquency. "Although there is more in volved than merely setting up a deadline when children under specific ages must be off the street." Delaney said, "it is, nevertheless, a start in the right direction." Chicago now has enforced cur-, few laws requiring children under 16 to be off the streets by 10:30 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 11:30 p.m. on Fri day and Saturday. Delaney is trying to raise the age limit to include the 16-year- old, as "this age group causes the most trouble." It is the age when many leave school. i On the average, 200 juveniles are picked up by Chicago police every month, although the fig ure is considerably more during the spring and summer months. Under present procedure, the child is immediately turned over to a juvenile officer, and his par ents are tilled in to .explain why their you igster is out in viola tion of the curfew ordinance. In the case of a first offense, the parent or guardian is given a warning, but in cases of repe tition where a lack of coopera tion is apparent, they can be summoned to court and fined. Only one such case reached the court during 1955, Delaney said. However, the one repre sents only three chlidren who violated the curfew law and does not include the number picked up on the more serious charges of auto theft, drinking, purse- snatching, etc. In a study of curfew ordin ances in Florida, the American Municipal Association singled out several worthy findings. Of the 260 Florida munici palities sent questionnaires, 57 of those responding have curfew ordinances. The largest number enacted in any single year came in 1943, apparently due to war time conditions. - The most common time set for young people to be off the streets was 10 p.m., while the most frequent age limits were 16 to 17. Although youthful vandalism takes place mostly at night, one community found that most such acts occurred during day light hours and on week ends. Another town found that only 14 per cent of delinquent activ ity took place after 9 p.m. Most authorities agree that curfew alone will not adequately combat juvenile delinquency. Just as important. If not more so, is the provision for recreation programs. Conditions causing anti-social conditions among the younger people must be examined and corrections made accordingly. Muncipal leaders believe that curfews are useful chiefly as de vices to focus the attention of adults and children on the de sirability of children being off the streets late at night. This opinion, of course, re quires that the law enforcement powers be sufficient to enable police to apprehend any young ster or group of young people who are out late.

But Father Francis Tucker, chaplain to her husband Prince Rainier, said, "I sure hope she is." "I have had no definite word that she is," Father Tucker added hastily in Paris, where he was on his way back to the Uni ted States. "But neither of- them has made any secret that they want to have children," he said. "Nobody is taking a very b'B chance when he says the princess is expecting." He noted a Berlin newspaper's report that Grace is expecting an heir in January, said he knew nothing definite, but added "I sure hope she is." Father Tucker made his com ments as Grace and the Prince came back to Monaco from their honeymoon aboard the Yacht Deo Juvante II.
