Her statements, whrn casual ly considered, sound a bit stu riling, but Ihey really aren't, " For example: "There has been a tremendous rise In juvenile delinquency, arnd Inu morn youngster to court tlinn ever belnro." Well, THERE AnR MORE YOUNGSTERS THAN KVEIl BE FORE Vitally more of Ihttn. aa you must be aware It you keep abreaat of the census lliturea and the achool reMrl, It keeim tin building achool house all the time jul to provide SPACE ENOUGH lor llicm to get an education. And, for thut mutter, there are more courla tlmn there lined to be. And Juvenllea (to lo court more mien, It lined to bo that we aenl youngsters lo court only aa a last desperate resort. Now, Willi Juve nlle authorities to rely on, we semi more of them to court, And Mrs. Hubby's final stale rnenl this morning: "Juvenile delinquency Is now at en ALL TIME high: It sounds bad. But when you boll It down lo the lacts ol modern Ille as revealed by the annual school census. It becomes simply a logl csl statement ol probable cause snd effect, If, In our country, there are vastly more children than ever before It seems quite reasonable that there should be more juvenile delinquency than ever before. Here's what I'd like to know: Do we really have more Juvenile delinquency, or are our facilities lor communication Just so much more perfect In these modern days THAT WE HEAR IMMENSELY MORK ABOUT IT THAN OUR FOREFATHERS HEARD? There was a time not too long ago, as historical lime la meas ured when news traveled no faster than the msll traveled, and In those days the msll traveled at walk or at best at a IroU . Nowlltllt Oood Lord! Now news travels on the wing ol the wind and at prac tically the speed of light. In the old dsys, when some juvenile did something he shouldn't, the news of it trsveled by word of mouth and mouths got around pretty slowly In those days before gaso line or by the weekly paper, Now But why go Into, that subject any farther? Now newSi travels so fast and so far that a few seconds alter ANYTHINO happens It can be known all around the world. What 1 want in know Is do more Juveniles PERCENTAGEWISE do the things thnt are summed up In the term "Juvenile delinquency" NOW thsn In the good old dsys when our grsndparents were young? I doubt It. I'm going lo go on doubling It until we get a better set ol Iscts upon Vhlch to base conclusions. I don't believe the youngsters of to dny are any worse thsn the young sters of earlier days and earlier generations.

HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON t President Elsenhower snd Prime Minister Churchill declared Monday they will "press forward with plans for collective defense" of Southeast Asia, regardless of whether peace negotiations for Indochina are suc cessful. In a communique, they also ex pressed "conviction that further de lay" In the creation ol a European Defense Community and granting of sovereignty to West Germany "would damage the solidarity of the Atlantic nations." This wss a prod for France to get on with ratification of EDC. On another major point, the American and British leaders Jointly declared that "both our countries would benellt" from "technical cooperation" on atom ic energy to the fullest extent per mitted by United States law. COMMUNIQUE The communique, Issued at the While House, was the first formal statement out of the four-dsy round of talks here on British American policy differences. The communique left unanswer ed the crlticsl question of when an International conference to cre ate a Southeast. Asia tnll-Com-munlst alliance' might be called. . This has been a major Issue, with Britain wanting no such def inite action pending a conclusion of present French efforts to ne gotiate peace In Indochina. The United States on the other band desired quick action. The com munique appeared to bear out re ports on continued . disagreement by failure to report any. agree ment. "We are both convinced." the communique said, "that If at Geneva the French government is confronted with demands which prevent an acceptable agreement regarding Indochina, the interna tional situation will be seriously aggravated." ASIAN PROBLEMS This was one of three terse pa ragraphs dealing with the South east Asia, and It set forth a clear warning to the Communists to of fer the French honorable terms to end the seven-year old war. Another reported that the two leaders have discussed southeast Asis and "examined the situation J'hlch would arise from the con tusion of an agreement on Indo china."
