O O o 0 Noted Jurist Favors Inows About Ronnio Burns Seks To Driver Law Changes For Teen-Age Group By LOUIS CASSELS United Press International Washington (UPI) "A boy or girl of 16 is too young to be turned loose with a car at night." That is not the offhand opinion of a grouchy parent. It is the studied conviction of a famous juvenile court jur ist, Judge "Alf red D0 Noyes, who has tried more than 20, 000 cases involving teenagers. Judge Noyes presides over the juvenile courtQin Mont gomery County, Maryland, a prosperous and heavily-populated $uburh- of Washington. He is a white - haired, soft spoken man who likes young people. He emphatically does .hot share the notion that to . day's teenagers are going to hell in a hack. Problem in Perspective ; "We ought to keep this Juvenile delinquency prob- lenv-ln perspective," he said. OnIy about 2 per cent of our young people get into serious trouble with the law. The really noteworthy thing about the present younger genera- tion is 4rat so many of them are making a fing)record tft pite of all tie pressures and ''temptations to -vKhich they .' are exposed. Instead of issuing blanket : denunciations of modern . youth. Judge Noyes said, ad ults should be trying to iden- tify and relieve some - of the specific pressure of - modern living whifeh cause ' y6ungsters to (gfet Mo jams. 'A good place to start is the driver's license laws," he " said. Most states issue regular ' driving permits to any youth ' who has reached his 16th -birthday and can pass ahcom- paratively simple test. & few states will license alyoutfi under 18 only with the par " ents' consent. Several states - license 15 - year - olds, and ' South Carolina and Arkansas ' grant permits to 14-year-olds, ' Junior Permit Lavf) Judge Noyes would like to see ' every state adopt a O "junior permit" law like that which has been in force in ' New York for the past few : years. Under this statute, : youths 16 to 18 are restricted to daytime driving. Thhold- er of a junior permit may drive after dark only if an adult is in the car with him Judge Noyes agreed that many modern teen - agers know more about,, the me chanical workings of cars than adults. But he said the ability to take an engine apart does not necessarily imply that a yduth also has the maturity, the judgment, tCe "ability to comprehend the potential danger of a situ ation," that is necessary for safe driving, particularly at ntght.

Sis cusses the drawbacks and advan tages of following famous par ent into snow business. By RONNIE BURNS For United Press International Hollywood UPI Being the son of 'a famous father and just getting started in the same line of work can be a handicap- but not necessarily so. I guess it's almost tradition al for grocers' sons to aspire to the law, or for lawyers' sons" to want to be doctors and I know the reason for this because I was in the same spot. . Younger generations are al waye said to be sensitive and that may be trus. I know that no boy or young man wants to be placed in a posi tion of being compared un favorably with his father end when his father is out standing in his field, no boy wants to be mediocre in that same field. Psychological Pitfall Avoided With the help of my f sther, George Burns, I think I've pretty well avoided this psy chological pitfall. Dad as well known as one of the most astute writers and producers in all of show busi ness, and I'm happy that he wanted me to join "The Burns and Allen Show" on the CBS TV. Now in my third' season with the show, I think I've improved. Dad tells me I have, and he's never pulled any punches with me when Centennial To Be Promoted in Europe Portland (UPI) Two Portlanders, David Duncan and Dio Digregorio, have left for Europe representing the Oregon Centennial exposition and International Trade Fair on a mission to generate in terest in the 1959 event slated to open here June 10 next year.

Digregorio, First National Bank vice president in charge of the international banking, will travel through Italy, Spain, Portugal, Yugo slavia and Greece during a 2 V month visit. we re talking professionally. I do know that my roles have improved during that time. And all that time I've been learning I've been studying George Burns and Gracie Al len, the most famous comedy team in show business, at close range. And I've been glad to have such" a chance. Sol Separation Essential Dad oversees all writing and production of "The Burns and Allen Show," and he has understanding enough to real ize that my role must be com pletely separate and different from that of George Burns. By doing that, he eliminat ed at the beginning any chance of unfavorable com parison between father and son so that I could develop my own style and characteri zation. I don't know of any one who could be "another George Burns" he's unique, as well as tops in his business. Had it not been for Dad's insistence that I try my hand at it, I probably never would have chosen acting as a ca reer. I think I'd have been like the grocer's son and picked another profession.
