JUVENILE COURT
BILL CHANGES HIT
Proposed Revisions Held
Dangerous to Purposes
of Measure.
Changes proposed by the corpora
tion counsel in the Juvenile Court bill
now before the Senate District Com
mittee would destroy the fundamental
purposes of the legislation and In
jure, rather than improve, the func
tioning of the Juvenile Court. This
was the opinion of advocates of the
Juvenile Court bill, which recently
passed the House, when informed yes
terday of the nature of amendments
proposed by Corporation Counsel El
wood Seal.
Principal change proposed for the
bill is to place in the hands of the
corporation counsel investigation of
complaints and decision as to what
further action should be taken in the
•'interests of the public or of the child."
The bill as it passed the House would
'.have placed the work of preliminary
Investigation and inquiry in a "duly
designated officer of the court.”
In the opinion of John E. Laskey,
attorney, who took a prominent part
In framing the legislation, the proposed
change is fundamental and would
continue the court as a criminal court
Instead of the chancery or equity court
which is considered desirable.
The changes have a long background.
They were proposed in substantially
the same form when the bill was be
fore the House District Committee in
the last session of Congress, and dur
ing the hearings were argued pro and
con. Advocates of the bill in the form
that it passed the House convinced the
• committee that the changes were un
desirable from a sociological point of
view and would defeat the purposes of
the bill.
After passage by the House a few
W'eeks ago. the bill was referred to the
Senate District Committee, and a sub
committee. headed by Senator Cope
land of New York, was appointed to
study its provisions. In conference
with Corporation Counsel Seal, the
same admendments defeated before the
House committee found their way back
into the measure.
Proponents of the Juvenile Court bill
are preparing to argue before the Sen
ate committee that if the corporation
•counsel's office is given exclusive
luthority to investigate complaints and
decide on disposition of cases, the pur
poses of the bill will be defeated. "The
amendments. Laskey said, "change
the whole scheme and philosophy of
»^e measure. The corporation counsel
again becomes the prosecutor, when
the idea of prosecution is foreign to
the nature of the bill.”

What Is It?
,TJiat question baffled Traffic Director William A. Van Duzer
and his aides for a while yesterday, when the Hines brothers—
Jack and Edward A.—sought to obtain license plates for the
contraption shown above. Was it a miniature automobile,
scooter or some new kind of motor cycle? After going into a
huddle with Assistant Traffic Director M 0 Eldridge, Van
Duzer decided the device—dubbed an “Auto-Glyde" by its manu
facturers—should be licensed as a motor cycle.

SUPREME COURT SCORED
BY GEORGIA EDUCATORS
Head of University Press Says
South Likely to Be Retarded
by Decision.
By the Associated Press.
STATESBORO, Ga„ March 13 —
“Georgia progress days," sponsored
annually by the South Georgia
Teachers’ College here, ended today
with criticism of the Supreme Court
as a barrier to progress.
Speaking on the general theme
‘Whither Georgia, Poverty or Abun
dance?" W. T. Couch, head of the Uni
versity of North Carolina Press, and
Dr. T. J. Wheeler of the University of
Georgia College of Agriculture, both
scored the court.
Couch said efforts to raise the
economic status of Georgia and of
other Southern States were "certain
to be defeated if the Supreme Court
is permitted to continue to set aside
acts of Congress."
Dr. Wheeler declared methods of
the present administration to achieve
"a better balance between the income
to agriculture and the income to in
dustry have been thwarted by adverse
decisions of the Supreme Court.

Boys’ Corn Acreage High.
North Carolina arm boys who par
ticipated in the •'•tate corn-growing
contest last year produced three times
as much com per acre as the average
adult grower.
MOISTURE REVIVES
SOUTHWEST WHEAT
Snow, Sleet and Rain in "Dust
Bowl" Send Prices Down
at Chicago.
By the Associates Press.
GUYMON, Okla.. March 13.—Wheat
prospects soared in the Southwestern
"dust bowl” tonight as crop-reviv
ing snow, sleet and rain fell to dampen
threats of more Spring “black bliz
zards.”
Moisture ranged upward to 1 inch
in sections of the Oklahoma and
Texas Panhandles, Southeastern Colo
rado and Southwestern Kansas.
Wheat prices dropped 2 Vi cents a
bushel at Chicago as the precipita
tion was heralded as beneficial to the
domestic Winter crop.
Planters predicted they would raise
wheat and other crops if more mois
ture fell to bridle the dusters.
"Farmers here are tak'ng a more
optimistic view of their prospects,"
said H. C. Dyer, Texas County, Okla.,
agent. "We haven't had a dust storm
here now in several days.”
More snow and rain was forecast
over the week end as temperatures
dipped.
Southern plains of Texas and the
Panhandle had rains which freshened
the growing grain, but forecasts of
sleet and snow menaced Texas’ fruit
crop, now at its "critical" stage.
Lost in a blinding snowstorm, an
airplane loaded with nitroglycerin from
Tulsa, Okla., was landed safely near
Port Warren, Wyo., by Pilot D. A.
McIntyre.
