Welfare Group Criticizes Length Of Detention The Jackson county public welfare commission has criti cized the budget allocation request for a teacher at the juvenile detention home. The commission, in a letter to County Judge Earl Miller Wednesday, charged that the problem of educating children in the detention home falls more accurately with various school districts of the county. It suggested a cooperative plan be worked out with the school districts. Criticizing the reported length of detention of children in the home, the commission wrote: "We were very dis turbed at figures presented regarding the length of de tention period. The average of 13.97 days is considerably higher than authorities on juvenile courts recommend. Most authorities believe chil dren should be detained for as short a period as possible -a week or 10 days at most." Number Mentioned "We are also concerned about the number of children detained who could be re leased to their parents or other competent people," the letter continued. "If the detention facility is to serve as help to children the best of practices needs to be considered and children should be detained only if in need of protection to them selves or for protection of the community. "We recently heard of chil dren as young as six years in detention. "We would hope that pub lic welfare department could find a shelter home or make plans with parents or rela tives for children when de tention does not seem in the best interests of the children, family or community," the letter concluded. It was signed by H. D. Christensen, Mrs. Henry Pad gham. Mrs. Robert Keeney, and Mrs. Edward Bolt. Washingtnn-IUPD-The Army announced Wednesday that it has developed a self-propelled 105 millimeter howitzer which is amphibious and can be delivered by parachute or helicopter.

He was finishing a cup of coffee when his wife answered the door and a voice announced, "I'm here for the Vene tian blind." The wife rummaged around in her pocket book, handed the man something, and closed the door. "Another fellow collecting for some char ity," she told her hus band. "This one sounded worthy, so I gave him live dollars." X family of bears, rum maging in a Yellowstone garbage dump, looked up when a car crammed with eight tourists pulled up at the side of the road.

Sndict Kennedy Seen Uncertain At Midway Point By Congressional Quarterly Washington -CQ)- As Con gress is on its traditional mid session Easter recess, pros pects looked good for Presi dent Kennedy's trade and tax revision bills, but the fate of multitude of other Presi dential requests was as un certain as the April sunshine. A logjam of key bills await ing action by the House Ways and Means Committee was be ginning to break up. However, the same bills will pile up again before the Senate fi nance Committee, and Chair man Harry Flood Byrd, a con servative Virginia Democrat who often opposes "liberal aspects of the President's pro gram, shows no signs of rush ing his deliberations. Byrd this month said the crush of bills "is the worst I've seen in my 29 years in the Senate. I don't know how we're going to work out of it." With the entire House of Representatives and a third of the Senate up for election this year, the drive for an early return to the hustings will be strong. The combina tion of adjournment fever and the pile-up of bills could easily lead to a "war of nerves" between Byrd and the President in the waning days of the session. Four Bills Cleared So far, only four major bills have been delivered to the President's desk: the Man power Retraining Act, the Welfare - Pension Funds Dis closure Act, the DuPont tax relief bill and the $13 billion military procurement authori zation. And two proposals have definitely been laid to rest for the session: creation of an Urban Affairs and Hous ing Department and enlarge ment of the House of Repre sentatives. Beyond that, no final judgments have been rendered. President Kennedy's height ened political prestige in the wake of the steel industry's price retreat was expected to help the President in driving his program through Con gress. But the pitfalls and ob structions are certain to liken the jrocess to driving a car through a cornfield: some severe jolts, the loss of sev eral parts, and always a pos sibility that car and driver will be left stranded in the mud. At Easter time, the House had passed the tax bill and amendments in the welfare program and was hopeful Ways and Means would soon send forth the trade bill. After that, the House Committee had the following on its dock et: medical care for the aged, renewal and revision of Korean-conflict excise and cor porate taxes, increase in the fiscal 1963 public debt limit, further extension of the tem porarily extended unemploy ment benefits enacted in 196!, and extension of the Defense Contract Renegotiation Act. Since all of these involve taxes and revenues, they must originate in the House. And all of them, plus renewal of 1 the Sugar Act, will pile up in the Senate Finance Commit tee when the House gels done with them. Other Legislation Apart from the various lax measures, a mass of other leg islation is awaiting action in Itmm ENDS TONIGHT "Curtain at 8:30" "Brood Humeri-mt f.., inyiiir nrimiiiiviniBV I "MAKE MINE Ml II If" TERRY- MLDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON Prospects one or both chambers. The sheer volume, much of it showered on Capitol Hill in a series of Presidential mes sages, would be enough to keep Congress busy through Christmas. The pending bills include the following: Passed by both chambers and awaiting final approval: educational television, college aid, non - scheduled airlines regulation, authorization to subpena corporate records for antitrust actions. Passed by the House only: postal rate increases, cotton textile import regulation, con flict -of - interest regulation, military construction, defense appropriation. Passed by the Senate only: migrant labor legislation, au thorization to purchase UN bonds, creation of wilderness areas, constitutional amend ment abolishing poll taxes, broadening of authority to aid Communist countries, ocean ography program. Passed by neither chamber: foreign aid, farm bill, standby public works program, trans portation and recreation pro grams, various drug and con sumer bills, wiretap legisla tion, general aid to education, communications satel 1 1 t e s, civil defense and highway authorizations, prohibition of use of literacy tests for voter registration. Factor in Picture One uncertain factor in the 1962 legislative picture is the strength of the "conservative coalition," execut loner of many Kennedy-supported pro grams last year and in 1960 prior to the elections. The "coalition" - Southern Demo crats and Republicans voting together in opposition to a majority of Northern Demo crtas - has come into play this year on only a handful of the 60-odd roll calls taken in the two chambers, most notably in killing the President's Ur ban Affairs Department pro posal. When the controversial tax revision bill passed the House, the "coalition" failed to appear In the voting pat tern. If President Kennedy's lieutenants can hold the coali tion In check - and hold Con gress in Washington - for another four months, the President's 1962 legislative accomplishments could be considerably brighter than his prospects appeared in Janu ary.
