British Magistrate Urges Look At Juveniles Under 10 Years New York OP) American institutions are doing such a good 30b with juvenile , delin quents that it's time to look toward potential offenders- youngsters under 10. says a British woman magistrate. "People can take courage at the way delinquency is being handled within institutions. Everything is being done for delinquents. Now we would do well to give special atten tion to the generation under 10 years. We must keep them from following the same pat tern," said the justice, Mrs. Gertrude Muriel Fennel Bishop. She has spent 10 weeks studying the American system of justice through a grant ad ministered in conjunction with the Ford Foundation. Mrs. Bishop has visited 16 prisons, 10 homes for juvenile, offend ers, a cross-section of Hospitals, marriage guidance clinics, and all types of courts. "And I've done sightseeing in between," she said in an interview be fore returning to England. The magistrate, who is mar ried and has a daughter at Cambridge, handles all types of criminal cases and domestic court work except divorce. She also is a member of the British National Marriage Guidance Council and advises engaged and married couples on parenthood.

Britain is a small country under one adminis tration of justice. That makes operation easier. But it's amazing what is being done here, considering the number of administrative levels and authorities," she said. She found that Britain and the U. S. tackle problems of juvenile delinquents and adult prisoners much the same way. "You have more delin quency here, because you are a large country and have greater problems of immigra tion than we do . . . immigra tion from other countries and from state to state. But the pattern of delinquency has been the same everywhere in the past 14 years. "There's been a great in crease in delinquency in Brit ain since the war. We don't Polio Starts Northern Culminating Battle Seen Near Editor's note: This is the first of two dispatches on polio Today: Checking the disease. By DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor New York (IB Once more polio is marching north with the spring but this year may be the last time it does because the final, culminating battle seems to be at hand. The battle objective is to get every man. woman, and child in the United States injected with the Salk vaccine. The big guns of the typical American high. - pressure "sales" campaign are begin ning to boom, and you may consider this dispatch as part of it if you wish, since the ob jective is for the good of all, although it actually is an in dependent reporter's account of what is going on. - You see, polio as a disease is so - close to being wiped out that an important and pressing question among out siders is the future of the very organization which .brought about the miracle, the National- Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. Is it to be allowed to disappear within a meas urable time for lack of any thing to do? -Only 145 Cases As the annual "polio sea son" spreads northward from the deep South this year, it is but a shadow of what it was only last year and a very faint shadow of what it it was in the springs when there was no Salk vaccine. There had been only 145 par alytic cases up to the week ending April 19, (the last available authentic figures), as compared to 321 for the same time last year. For the previous before-Salk years, the totals were usually several times that figure by mid April. x The'ie dramatic declines were due to more and more people having vaccine pro tection. As of March 1, 62,500, 000 persons out "of a total of 172 million had had one or more "shots," which means circulating viruses this spring have 62, 500,000 fewer human bodies in which to take root and cause sickness, paralysis and death. Reduce Susceptible Bodies Now, if you could persuade 172 million persons to get vaccinated there would be no bodies in which the viruses could make headway. Viruses would remain in circulation because there is no possibility of wiping out viruses. But you can deprive them of suscept ible people. That being so, the battle objective is "total," no less. There now is plenty of vac cine. The idea is to get it into Marine Death March Leader Promoted Cherry Point, N. C Matthew McKeon, who as a Marine Corps drill instructor was the central figure in one of the most publicized court martials in American military history, has been promoted to corporal. It was the second promotion for McKeon since he was re duced in rank and sentenced to three months imprisonment in connection with the deaths of six recruits at the-Parris Island, S. C, recruit depot in April, 1956. The six recruits were drowned when McKeon led them into a tidal creek on a night march to "teach the men discipline."

Civil Service region, federal office building, Seattle, Wash. have as many crimes of vio lence as you do, but we have some," she said. The magistrate, who lives in Leicester, blames the rise in juvenile crime on a general lowering of moral standards since World War II, a lessen ing of respect for older per sons, and a deterioration in the child-parent relationship. "You have the added prob lem of cars," she said. "Young people have increased their range of activities in the auto mobile age. This has hit the United States harder because England hasn't the number of cars or the distances to travel. "Another problem in both our countries concerns money. Young people earn higher wages before they are experi enced enough to handle money wisely," she added. everyone of whatever age from less than one year up to even 90 or more. To be sure, such a goal is not likely to be reached.

Portland OP) State Treasurer Sig Unander, Re publican candidate for nomi nation for Governor, is from an early Oregon family who contributed greatly to the de velopment of the Pacific Northwest. His grandfather was Simon Benson, early day timberman. Unander is 44, married and the father of two small child ren Sig Jr. 6, and Astrid, 3.

Wide Choice Sugar Workers Turn Down Offer Honolulu (IT) The 103-day-old Hawaiian sugar strike today faced the prospect of being prolonged another six months. A recent wage offer pro posed by the sugar industry was overwhelmingly rejected by the sugar workers Tuesday by a vote of 11,060 to 624. The International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union contracting ' committee had urged the rejection. Leaders of both labor and management had indicated earlier that they were pre pared to stand firm on their positions for "from six to eight months" if the proposal was rejected. In early negotiations, man agement offered an 8-cent-an-hour increase, but its latest offer was 15-cents. The ILWU has demanded 25 cents.

Not a "back slapper," Un ander is still a friendly man, genuinely interested in serv ing his fellow citizens. He received his degree in political science -from Stan ford and his Masters Degree in finance from the Graduate School of Business at Stan ford. Ex-GOP Chairman During World War II Un ander served as Lieutenant Colonel and spent 39 months overseas receiving the Bronze Star, six battle stars and dec orations from four foreign countries. In 1950 Unander was chair man of the Republican State Central Committee when the GOP elected a Republican governor, four congressmen and a U. S. Senator. He is a young and serious man who inherited from his grandfather a strong belief in the competative enterprise system, thrift, hard work and strict honesty.

The big problem no longer is the night burglar or yegg but the trusted employee who has the key to offices and rec ords and who steals bepause of various external or company-made pressures, Jaspan said in an interview.

"Of $60 million we uncov ered last year," he reports, "60 per cent was traced directly to employees on the supervis ory level and above." "This may be an indictment of the modern world," he notes, "but I believe that at least 50 per cent of all em ployees would cheat if given the opportunity." - No two defalcations are ex actly alike, but they follow similar patterns, says Jaspan.

Jaspan says management is to blame for some of the mal practices because of pressures imposed on subordinates to meet "impossible tasks, un realistic quotas or budgets." When this is done contin ually, he says, "something snaps, people begin to cheat here and there, then start to manipulate on a larger scale." A way to solve the problem, says Jaspan, is for manage ment to give more time to understanding personnel prob lems. Raises won't help. Manage ment must get to know the thinking of its people, per haps ease some of the pres sures and try to develop a sense of loyalty, he says. u I J l ') Ls IX- MAR a 6 GAY GLASSES Six big gayly decorated glasses at I less than 10c each. 79' SET .
