SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1957 HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE SEVEN Traffic Cases (Continued from Page One) that line, Miss Kidwell testified that in her opinion the parent li ability law would perhaps be the most fair and would perhaps tend to reduce the number of juvenile offenses. Also under fire during the hear ings was the alleged "wrist slap ping" antics of juvenile officials and courts when dealing with ju venile offenders. It was expressed! by several of those testifying that Uie lecture and probation fixing practices of juvenile personnel and the juvenile courts is ineffective, and that better results would be achieved if the juvenile judges throughout the state could have a wider latitude within whih to work when assessing penalties to offending juveniles. The contention was that the ju venile judges can now act within a damagingly limited scope . . . either sending the youthful offend er to a correctional home or re leasing him with a "wrist slap ping" lecture of probation stipula tion. On the other hand, there was an equal number of persons, includ ing interested members of the pub lic, juvenile officials and educa tors who testified with equal con viction that the lectures and other actions by the juvenile court and counselors are by no means inef fective, and that the required lati tude in the scope of the court is provided by the judge being able to direct the juvenile cases to the regular criminal courts when he deems that the cases should be handled in such a manner. It was the contention of the lat ter group that fines and other forms of materia penalties were not an effective means of pre venting or correcting juvenile of fenses in the majority of cases, and that counseling and making a child understand the significance of what he has done is the most productive method. The educational emphasis on ju- venile problems was thoroughly evaluated by Arnold Gralapp, su perintendent of schools, and Charles Carlson, KUHS principal, who testified jointly at the after noon session. Gralapp pointed out that traffic violations have come upon the community quicker than laws have advanced to meet them. He voiced agreement with the position of Judge Holman that juvenile traffic offenders should be subject to the same Handling as adult traf fic violators. He cautioned, how ever, that the activities of such a traffic court should be closely cor related with the juvenile court in order to keep close tabs on ju venile behavior patterns. Both Gralapp and Carlson ex plained the pattern of action at KUHS in regard to the compulsory education law. They pointed out that students are permitted to leave school only after exhaustive efforts have been made to retain them. They stressed that there are Instances where compulsory attendance at school is definitely not in the interest of the child or the other children attending the same school. Gralapp concurred In earlier ex pressions that the juvenile judge appears to be limited in the range ot penalties he can assign to juve niles. He pointed out that the judge has, in effect, only two ex tremes, releasing the youngster on a probationery basis or sending nun to a correctional institution Judge Holman stated that ir many cases, it was found that those youngsters who became the juvenile delinquents were the same youngsters that had proven themselves problem cases - school. Both Gralapp and Carlson agreed that this is probably the case, but pointed out that the ed ucational environment was not nec essarily responsible, that in many cases these youngsters came from disturbed or disrupted homes or were maladjusted children mental ly or emotionally. Under questioning by Commit teewoman Mrs. Muriel Lezak. Gra lapp agreed that in his estimation the compulsory education 1 a w should end at the age of 16. Floyd Wynne pointed out in his testimony that many of the juve nile problems arose because of the areas of uncertainty which exist in enforcing the law in cases in volving juveniles. "The problem appears to be two-fold," he said. "On the one hand, the juvenile officers seem to work on the assumption that all measures should be taken to as sist in the rehabilitation of the juvenile, while law enforcement officers work from the necessity of protecting the community." He pointed out that in many cases this double-standard is the cause of difficulties that arise in han dling of juveniles. Wynne pointed to traffic offend ers as being the biggest source of the city's difficulties with juve- . mles. and recommended also that juveniles be handled the same as adult traffic violators. He also called for consistent enforcement of the city's curfew law which pro vides that all persons under 18 must be off the city's streets by midnight unless accompanied by a parent or a guardian. He suggested that the juvenile officer be restricted to a counsel ing basis rather than being an ar resting officer. He stressed the need for closer collaboration be tween the juvenile offices and oth er law eniorcemcm agencies. concerning preventative meas- ures. it was extensively argued i Utah ju.ciiuc uunc vvuiu ucst uc prevented by education of parents and a better balanced home life, that the children need more ac tivities for occupying themselves, and that the situation could be belter corrected and largely pre vented if organizations such as the i sheriff's department and juvenile j unites vic piimui-u wan muie personnel and better paid workers. ft.

Improper outside influences often attained from movies, tele vision, comic books or other read ing material to which the students have access. 9. The natural spirit of rebellion which ail youths and persons have to some extent with relation to authority. With regard to suggested means ot preventing juvenile delinquency. the young man said that he and the social study group feel the following are essential: 1. The creation of more youth activities. 2. Parents should be better pre pared for raising and guiding chil dren. 3. More stress should be placed on teaching children to respect authority ana respect their par ents. Beyer cited the Chinese for example. "There is little juvenile aennquency there," he said, "be cause the children are conscious of the disrespect they will bring iu ineu parents anu- lamiues. 4. More respect for property should lie taught. 5. There should be stricter en forcement of laws such as the cur few laws of the state. Beyer point ed out that the enforcement of the curfew laws s lackadaisical that it creates disrespect for the law, and that from, that disrespect is oorn aisrespect tor other laws, 6. Adoption of laws where oar- cntial liability would be more of a factor connected with juvenile property damage than it now is.
