Or do they contrib ute to the rising rate of juvenile delinquency and the breakdown of the American home? These questions are causing grave concern to religious lead ers, educators, social scientists and government officials, ft United Press survey showed to day. Two mothers out of every five who have children undr 18 now are holding jobs outside the home. The number of working mothers has increased nearly 30 per cent in the past 10 years, and now stands at a record 6,500,000. Ot these, 2,500,000 have children under six years of age. While authorities differ widely in their opinions about the over all impact on American life, all agree that each working mother must be judged as an individual. Some women, they say, go to work because they crave lux uries which their husbands' pay checks can't provide. Others be come wage-earners by necessity. About one-fifth are widowed and divorced. Some'flee the hard work and heavy responsibility of full-time homemaking for an easier job in an air-conditioned office. Othera a at trying sincerely to make the best use of their time and talents while their children are away at school. Some working mothers undoubtedly neglect their chil dren. Others are extremely con scientious parents. Alarming Developments Recognizing this wide range of individual differences, some au thorities nevertheless consider the national trend as an alarm ing development. In a recent nationwide survey of public school teachers by the National Education association, 80 per cent listed "lack of paren tal supervision due to mother working" as a cause of student behavior problems. One - third called it an "important" factor. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover told the United Press -"parental neglect" is a major cause of in creasing juvenile crime. He said it is likely to occur in three types of homes those"broken by death or divorce," those in 'hich parents are "too absorbed in th?ir own social pursuits to give essential guidance and af fection to . their children," and those in which "both parents are working." Msgr. Irving Deblanc, director of the Family Life Bureau of the National Catholic Welfare Conference, said the increase in the number of working mothers is "clearly related" to a deterior ation of moral and spiritual val ues among large numbers of American youth. "Creating a good home and giving children all of the love, security and guidance they need is a mother's first responsibili ty," he said. "It is a job that usually requires all of the time and energy she has. "A mother should have a very grave reason for taking a job something far more important than buying a hew car or tele vision set." Psychological Strain Dr. Eli Ginzberg, Columbia University professor who direct ed a recent study of women in the nation's labor force for the National Manpower Council, said working mothers themselves are exposed to "psychological strains" that may have a ser ious effect. "They are likely to be espe cially uneasy about the impact of their working on the devel opment of their children," he said. The effort to perform ade quately in their dual role may cause conscientious women to exceed "their emotional and physical limits." A strong defense of the work ing mother came from Mrs. Alice K. Leopold, director of the Women's Bureau of the U. S. Labor Department who happens to be a working mother. Mrs. Leopold, who says she brought up two "non-delinquent" sons, said it is "grossly unfair to make employed wom en the scapegoats for every so cial ill of our day." Juvenile delinquency, she said, has "m any complex j causes" and no one has produced I any figures to show it to be more prevalent among children of PERMANENTS from $5.95 HAIRCUTS from $1.00 CRATERIAN Beauty Salon 41 S. Central Ph. SP 2-4830 wme ' working mothers than ia other families. "Some women who don't work are just as derelict in their pa rental duty," she said. "Women who spend their time playing cards. And chasing around to social and civic activities often do less for their children than the average working mother." Middle Ground Middle ground in the contro versy was staked out by a lead ing Protestant clergyman, tha Rev. Dr. Richard Lents of In dianapolis, Ind. Dr. Lents, e Disciples of Christ minister who formerly was head of the Fam ily Life Bureau of the National Council of Churches, told the United Press it all depends on the mother. A woman who "puts her work ahead of her responsibility as e mother" and who is "not home when her children return from school," he saidH is "definitely contributing' 'to juvenile delin quency. "On the other hand, some mothers contribute to the de linquency of their, children by staying at home. Many a child learns to drink because he sees his mother drinking at home. "Holding a job has to be put in the total context of a woman's performance as a mother. A great deal depends on whether she is able to give her children the sense of security and lova they would get by having her home all the time. ' "Some women I think a lot of them are able to do that."
