N.Y. Going Through Period
Of 'War' Against Youth Gangs
By DOC QUIGG
United Press Correspondent
New York W This city is
going through a sickening period
of "war" on a segment of its
youth. The segment is a lawless
fringe bred in poverty, brought
up in bitterness in broken and
alcoholic homes, left unloved
and neglected by parents.
In the face of a flare-up of
youth crime three persons
killed and four critically in
jured within a few days the
police department has thrown
in 600 additional men, rookies
from its academy, for patrol
duty. It has called on parents to
awaken to duty.
Juvenile offenders have killed
22 persons in New York City
since, the start of the year. This
is not the result of gang war
fare, although New York has
about 500 juvenile gangs with
about 8,000 members. Of these,
110 are listed as "fighting gangs"
which stir trouble.
Individual Type Crime
But the latest streak of beat
ings, assaults, and killings seems
to be of indivdual, rather than
gang, origin "spontaneous,
senseless attacks," in the words
of Walter Arm, police deputy
commissioner in charge of com
munity relations.
If it is true that juvenile
crime reflects periods of adult
tension, such as war or other un
rest, or anxiety, a study of the
police figures in New York City
indicates a nervous period right
now.
The published figures on year
ly arrests of youths under 16
show 3,830 for the year 1940
then a jump to 5,000-plus for

each of the war years 1943-44-45,
with the last of those three
showing nearly 6,000. In the
postwar years of that decade the
arrests ran along rather evenly
at 3,500-plus, and in 1950 were
3,424 lower than they were
exactly 10 years earlier despite
the population increase.
The Korean war started in
1950, and during the next three
years the arrests were up to
4,000-plus. Then, instead of
going down, they . went like
this: 6.012 in 1954; 6,578 in 1955;
8,714 last year.
Willie Mays, the baseball play
er, used to spend a great deal
of his spare time away from the
ball park playing stickball with
the kids in his "neighborhood.
When asked why this extra ex
penditure of energy on the part
of a man who was already ex
pending a great deal at his regu
lar job, he pointed to the young
sters and said simply: "They
need somebody "

Debate on the question is gath

Soma Criticize Program
Critics feel grade school lan
guages are of doubtful value and
a needless luxury in already
pinched school budgets, an im
position on the child and a sacri
fice of other more important
curricula.
Both sides agree on one point:
The movement to foreign lan
guages in the elementary schools
has had a phenomenal growth in
the past five years.
A survey of the modern lan
guage association published by
the U. S. office of Education
showed that "at least" 271,617
grade school youngsters, kinder
garten through grade six, were
getting foreign language instruc
tion in 1955.
That's small compared to the
26 million enrolled in the pub
lic grade schools. But the figure
is more than one-third of the
foreign language enrollment in
high schools and fast approach
ing the number taking foreign
languages in college.
Interest Snowballing
The 1955 grade school instruc
tion was going on in 1,977
schools in 357 towns in 45 states
and represented a whopping
300 per , cent increase in three
years.
Both sides also agree on anoth
er point. That is that the most
critical, problem in the grade
school language picture is the
shortage of competent teachers
teachers fluent in languages
with special talent for teaching
the new hearing-speaking, approach.
The demand for competent
teachers vhas sparked a flourish-

and audio-visual aids designed
to help fill the gap. The District
of Columbia is one area that has
tried closed-circuit TV teaching
of foreign languages.
In Albuquerque, N. M., the
school system felt it could meet
the pressure for grade school
