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.

Try and Stop Me
By BENNETT CERF
AN IMPATIENT SUBURBANITE ripped a Venetian blind
in his bedroom, and phoned a repair shop to pick it up
and mend it. 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. "It's cruel." com
mented Papa Bear to his brood, "to keep them caged up like
that!"
C 1963. by Bennett Cerf. Diitributed by Kins Feature! 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

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. Copyright 19S2,
