Kelly and Gov. Robert D.
Holmes. Each spoke briefly.
Governor Holmes said while
dedicating the new building the
audience could look back down
the road of social thinking. This,
he said, led to realization of a
need for such a place. The build
ing is dedicated to the vision
and faith which made it possible.
The public is beginning to realize
that people are our best natural
resource, the governor said.
Cooperation between the coun
ty juvenile counselor's office arid
both private and public agencies
is important to effectively pre
vent the spread of juvenile de
linquency problems, Judge Fort
pointed out. Such organizations
would include law enforcement,
welfare department, schools,
health department, YMCA, Boy
and Girl Scouts and other youth
organizations as the private
agencies.
A number of questions should
be asked by people of the com
munity anxious to effectively
deal with juvenile delinquency
problems, the Lane county ju
venile court judge said.
First, does the county juve
nile office have adequate per
sonnel both in numbers and in
quality? This, the judge said, is
the backbone of juvenile work
in the community.
A community should also ask
itself if the police agencies un
derstand the relationship of the
juvenile office with their efforts
and if both work closely and
harmoniously. Police work with
the juvenile problem is vital,
Judge Fort said. A central clear
ing house for all information on
juveniles in trouble should be
maintained.
Cooperation of the welfare de
partment is also needed since
dependent children those
whose parents are on relief or
otherwise can't support their
families became delinquennts
if neglected.
Adequate temporary shelter
and sufficient number of proper
foster homes should be ready
for these dependent children,
Judge Fort said. School person
nel should also know what ser
vices are available to them and
when and how to use them.
Police, welfare and schools are
the three basic agencies for deal
ing with juvenile problems, the
judge reiterated. A community
must have "a careful, sound and

work which also has its bearing
On the juvenile problem, the
judge pointed out.
Judge Fort emphasized that
cooperation is a two-way street
between the juvenile office and
community agencies.
The judge also outlined con
tributing causes of the rise in
juvenile delinquency.
These include the swing from
rural to metropolitan living and
the resultant break-down in the
family as a self-sufficient eco
nomic unit and a center for edu
cation and recreation.
A part of this trend is the in
creasing number of working
mothers which will increase as
equal pay for equal work be
comes established. The commun
ity is now assuming responsibil
ity for both education and recrea
tion of the child. In Florida a
compulsory youth recreation pro
gram has been established, the
judge pointed out.
Also contributing to the prob
lem is the dull child who is easily
led into trouble. In too many
schools such a child becomes
restless as he is forced to meet
the standards set for the normal
child.
A child who has not passed the
second or third grade in reading
ability cannot be expected to get
much satisfaction from work
established for the normal child,
the judge illustrated. The prob
lem of adapting this child into
the community should be ap
proached from all angles, includ
ing that of the employer and
labor union, he added.
The judge also listed divorce,
alcoholism and the automobile
as other contributing causes to
juvenile crime.
"The automobile is the great
est direct source of crime with
out which a high proportion of
juvenile offenders would not be
committed," Judge Fort said.
By stealing the car, a juvenile
becomes involved in crime. The
car also transports him to and
from the scene of the crime. It
is the car also which many times
produces a nomadic unstable
family life which often leads to
delinquency, the judge pointed
out.

Final 'Count Down'
Indicates Firing
Due in Afternoon
Military Security
Surrounds Program
Cape Canaveral, Fla. (IP)
The United States prepared its
"Big A" for another firing at
tempt today without fanfare.
The Atlas Intercontinental Bal
listic Missile, its nose pointed to
ward the sky, was undergoing
its final pre-flight "count down"
at the missile launching site this
morning.
The launching would come at
a time when the nation needed a
boost to its missile morale at the
NATO summit conference open
ing in Paris 4,000 miles away.
The defense department said
the count down had reached the
half-way point this morning, in
dicating that a firing could be
expected during the afternoon if
all went well.
Observers on the beach here
would never guess that a firing
of the "Big A" was near. A lid
of military security was clamped
on anything connected with the
Atlas at this vantage point.
The "Big A" is America's larg
est and most powerful ballistics
missile, the Air Force Atlas, a
three-stage rocket designed to
span continents with an atomic
warhead in its blunt nose.
Two Atlas missiles stood on
launching pads at this top secret
guided missile test center and
the launching of one of them ap
peared to be imminent, barring
last-minute complications in the
"count-down" to the zero second
of firing.
Both of the fat, 90-foot long
rockets resembling huge cigars
were static fired last week.
Scientists tied down the missiles
and ran up their rocket engines
in the tests.
When it comes, it will be the
third test of the Atlas. The mis
sile is designed to fly 5,000 miles
at supersonic speed. But in the
two previous tests last summer,
it has flown only a few thous
and feet. Ground safety officers
destroyed both missiles in flight
because of malfunctions.

Adenauer Wants To
Explore Possible
Talks With Russia
Delay Suggested in
Missiles for Europe
Paris (IP) President Eisen
hower told the opening session
of the NATO Summit Confer
ence today that the West still
holds the "meaning of power"
over the Communist bloc. But
he held out the possibility of
new talks with Russia for con
trol of forces casting a "pall
over the world."
Other members of the Atlantic
Alliance suggested that the idea
of new talks with Moscow be
explored now and that there be
a delay in stationing American
missiles in Europe.
"We are in a fast-running cur
rent of the great stream of his
tory," Eisenhower said. "Heroic
efforts will long be heeded to
steer the world toward true
peace. We must continue to
create and sustain within the
free world the necessary strength
to make certain of the common
security. All of us must have the
assurance that the strength will
be used to sustain peace and
freedom."
Policy of Strength
Other speakers made it clear
that, while they favored a policy
of strength until world peace
seems a more certain bet, they
also want to explore Kremlin
intentions through further talks.
West German Chancellor Kon
rad Adenauer suggested that the
West use normal diplomatic
channels to find out what Soviet
Premier Nikolai Bulganin really ,
meant in his latest series of let
ters to the West, in which he
combined threats with apparent
concessions in a bid for peace
ful coexistence. He suggested
further study of plans to put
American missiles on NATO soil.
Norway's Premier Einar Ger-
hardsen followed with a blunt
announcement that his country
has "no plans for setting up
rocket bases on her territory."
Norway long has opposed for
eign troops or weapons on its
soil, except in case of attack.
West Germany wants to wait
until the Bonn parliament can
act on the question of stationing
missiles on its territory.
However, the statements by
Adenauer and Gerhardsen did
not appear to indicate any gen
eral revolt by the EuroDean
NATO countries against permitt
ing American rockets on their
soil.
No other speakers called for
postponement of a missile deci
sion at the first working session
which was held in secret fol
lowing the opening preliminaries
at which speeches were made by
Eisenhower, French Premier
Gaillard and Belgian Premier
Joseph Becb
Italian Premier Adone Zoli
said a lasting solution to East
West military problems can be
achieved only "within the frame
work of general controlled dis
armament." However, he said
Soviet obstinacy compels the
West to remain strong. He added
the West should continue work
ing for disarmament and ex
amine any Soviet proposals made
in good faith.
