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.

Avoid Pitfalls as Son
Of Famous Comedy Team
Editor's note: Ronnie Burns, sob
of Mr. and Mrs. George Burns. 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.
Duncan, former Portland
Chamber of Commerce presi
dent, will visit England, Scot
land, Ireland, Denmark, Nor
way and Sweden on a two-
month trip. 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.
