75 Young Curfew Violators
Seventy-five young curfew vio
lators, ages ranging from 12 to
17 years, were picked up on city
streets Saturday night between
the hours -of 11:15 p. m. and, 2
a. m. by county juvenile officers
and city police working in con
junction. .. .( i
The raids are being conducted
by juvenile and other law en
forcement officers in an effort to
help prevent the rising tide of ju
venile delinquency, a large per
centage of which acts occur late
at night or early in the morning.
Questioned
The youngsters, after they had
been picked up Saturday night,
were brought to the circuit court
room at the courthouse and there
wero questioned at length by
Juvenile Officers Harold Hen
drlckson and Faye Lucas. '
Questioning revealed that most
of tho youngsters' parents didn't
know tho whereabouts of their
children. In a large number of
cases the parents of the young
sters were at local dances or oth
er places of amusement and
didn't know whether or not their
children were home. Practically
all of the juveniles knew that
there Is a curfew law and that
they should not have been' out at
that hour ot night. Following
the questioning- the - youngsters
were released.
Most Well-Behaved
Hendrickson reported that the
major portion of the children
taken into custody were well-behaved
and there was not much
evidence that any of the young
sters had been drinking. Parents
of the juveniles have been noti
fied of the raid and asked to

Sedition Mistrial '
Moves Overruled
' WASHINGTON, May 22 ()--Justice
Edward C. Eicher over
ruled today all defense motions
for a mistrial in the mass se
dition conspiracy case which
moved into its sixth week.
Attorneys for several of the
29 defendants had contended the
opening statement of Prosecutor

and designed to "poison the
minds of the jury," but Eicher
said he had read the transcript
carefully over the' weekend and
concluded that it did not "tran
scend permissible bounds."
Immediately after Ether's
ruling, defendant Lawrence Den
