(UPI Telephoto) Russia Claimed To Dominate Depths As Well As Space Washington - a'Pli - Russia, says Sen. Warren G. Magnu- SUM, tlulllilldtcS tli dtrptilS as well as space. The Washington Democrat is author of a measure to dou ble U. S. oceanographic re search in the next 10 years. He recently asserted that Rus sia: Is the world's greatest un dersea power. Hpr submarine fleet "surpasses that of the entire free world." Possesses the world's big gest and best oceanographic research fleet. It is larger than the combined oceano graphic fleets of the free na tions. "Is operating the largest and most efficient fishing ves sels afloat." She also has a fisheries research fleet which Magnuson described as "the finest and largest in history Little Toward Equality Magnuson said the United States is spending a billion dollars a year to catch up with Russia in space. But it is do ing little, he said, to achieve in the depths. "We are investing more in space research in a week than we do in ocean research in an entire year," the sena tor said. Whereas the Soviet oceano graphic fleet is modern and well equipped, he said, ours for the most part is "a motley assortment of marine has beens ill-suited for their vital mission." Magnuson predicted that atom-powered submarines one day will carry much of the world's sea trade, taking money-saving shortcuts under the North Pole. Traveling "under storms rather than through them," and operating at high efficiency in the calm depths where there are no waves. Both military and commer cial undersea navigation, he said, will require vastly more scientific knowledge of the oceans than is possessed today. To get that knowledge, t'Magna exciting new miniature . . all-transistor all-wave PORTABLE RADIO m SC095 59 jmT ONLY I Magnuson said, Russia has launched what he called "a I gigantic crash program" of I sea research. I Magnuson partly attributed the fact that the United States is working harder to catch up in space than in the depths to the circumstance that "we can see I he moon but we cannot see the bottom of the ocean." But, he added: "The oceans cover 72 per cent of the earth's surface, an area nine times greater than that of the moon. They are where life on this planet orig inated. They control, in a very large measure, our weather and climate. Untold Wealth Ihey are the last open range for future protein foods. They . . . hold untold wealth in minerals and fossil fuels." Magnuson noted that oceans lie between this country and 57 of the other free nations. The free world's economy, he said, is largely dependent on keeping the seas open. "I n contrast," Magnuson said, "no ocean separates So-j viet Russia from any of her j Communist satellites, nor is j she dependent on ocean trans portation for raw materials." J Nevertheless, he said, Rus-i sia has embarked on an un precedented (sea) research pro gram, the most extensive in world history." Why? One answer, Magnuson said, "is that Russia seeks to dem inate the world, and to achieve this goal she must control the oceans."

Legislation Spur To Delinquency By YVONNE FRANKLIN Mill Tribune , Washington Bureau Washington (Special) - Leg- 1 islation which would add the spur of a federal program to combat juvenile delinquency ; is well on its way toward be ing acted by Congress. 11 R. 12108. sponsored by Rep. Edith Green (D-Ore ) would provide $5 million to start federal programs on two fronts: $2 1 2 million to train personnel for work in the field, and $2' 2 million for demonstration projects. Mrs. Green's bill passed the House Education and Labor Commit tee last week. A similar bill passed the Senate on Jan. 20. The Eisen hower administration has ap proved the bill, and Secretary Arthur Flemming of the de partment of health, education and welfare has said that his department will send a re quest to the Congress for a supplemental appropriation so that it may be included in next year's budget. The bud get bureau has also approved, and as a consequence, Mrs. Green is optimistic that the bill will be on the President's desk before Congress ad journs. Advisory Council The bill also sets up an ad visory council, headed by the Secretary of HEW and eight member- who would be recog nized authorities in profes sional fields related to juve nile delinquency. The 50 states would apply to HEW for money to set up projects and to train personnel. Indi viduals as well as universities are eligible to apply for schol arship funds. There was some discussion in the committee, Mrs. Green said, that the So million was a small amount with which to tackle the problem, but as one witness from the juvenile de linquency section of the Chil- dren's Bureau said: 'It seems enormous to us, for we have been operating on $191,000 for the whole year After relating this, Mrs. Green observed dryly that this year we are spending $1 million just to combat disease in swine alone. There has been controversy To Add the committee about pro- , viding funds for the training of personnel. This was a sec tion of the bill which Mrs Green insisted should bp kept in. and she won her point. "There's no sense in provid ing funds for additional proj ects if w" don't have person nel to carry them out. No pro cram is belter than the per sonnel involved." she said. Postibilitiei Suggested In citing examples as to how the program might be carried out in Oregon. Mrs. Green suggested a number of possibilities. For instance, the Broom Sale Curb Raises Protests Portland - VPI - A storm of protest has been raised over a recommendation that sale of brooms by the blind be cur tailed. The Oregon Commission (or the Blind called a special meeting to consider a report which included this recom mendation and others. The recommendations were made after a special three-day study of Commission facilities by Edward Chuinard, a represen tative of the federal vocation al rehabilitation service. Clifford A. Stocker, admin istrator for the state's blind program, said there was no idence in f;wt that rinnr-tn- door sales provoke a sym pathy motivation. He said it would cut down -greatly on returns for salesmen who now handle products of the com mission's shop. Slocker added that "exper ience in other states has shown that the sympathy ac tivation is exploited more by sighted salesmen who handle our products."

Cottage parents ; are adults .ho care for young er juvenile delinquents at , training schools or detention ' homes. j Mrs. Green said that an ef : fort is being made to have a j graduate school of .social work I at the I'niversity of Oregon. ; If this were in existence, she ; felt there might well be some fellowships granted at such a j school to train people to work I in the juvenile delinquency field. She also suggested that funds could be used for per sonnel to he used in the ele mentary schools for the early detection of potential delin quents. Funds might also be used to study the proh'eni of drop-outs in the high schools, and to study child labor laws. "There is no one I know who has ever claimed to real ly know the causes of juve nile delinquency." she said. "Certainly if the family unit were strengthened most agree this would help." "These youngsters come j from homes where they aren t j wanted. They're mostly from I underprivileged neighbor- i hoods; their homes are divid- i ed. and they grow up feeling j that there is no place for them j in society. j Cost 54,000 Yearly ! "I remember one juvenile court judpe who testified be fore our committee. He said that if the delinquent child believed there was just one person who really cared about him, he thought juvenile de linquency would be decreased by 50 per cent." Mrs. Green pointed out that it costs around $400(1 a year to keep a boy in training school, and that we spend over $14 million a year just to care for men in federal prisons. "If we .spent a fraction of this on additional personnel to prevent delinquency, we 1 would be saving money in the long run, as wen as saving lot of personal heartache and ! tragedy,'" she said Mrs. Green said that such national program would able to i.ccomplish' things lha are difficult to do at the sta'e THE NEW Are Proud To GRAND OPENING COIN-OPERATED LAUNDRY Saturday, WASH 20 602 SOUTH CENTRAL (13th and So.
