Juvenile Delinquents
; Reports Cite Need
To Treat Mot Punish
By Charles G. Brooks
A widespread public lack of
understanding regarding the
need to treat juvenile delinquents
rather than punish them is held
to be the greatest obstacle to
ment of Health, Education and
Welfare today.
The reports are part of a series
to be used by the Conference on
Curbing Juvenile Delinquency,
set for June 28-30 here.
The department noted that de
linquency has been steadily in
curbing the upswing in delin
quency, according to a group of
reports issued by the Depart
creasing since 1948 throughout
the country’ and that, according i
to the Bureau of the Census, the
number of children in the Juve
nile court age bracket (10 to 17)
is expected to be almost half as
large again in 1960 as it was in
1950.
Concerned About Judges.
At the same time, the depart
ment reported that a number of
communities studying the prob
lem have been more and more
concerned with “the selection of
Juvenile court judges." Some,
groups, according to “Report by
Citizen Groups on Juvenile De
linquency Treatment Service
Needs in Their States, feel that
more “judges with a real under
standing of youth’s problems
and awareness of community re
sources” should be sought. Oth
ers recommend that law schools
improve their courses to develop
better qualified juvenile court
judges.
Six ways, the department
pointed out, have been listed
most frequently by citizen groups
across the Nation in a recent
survey to improve treatment of
delinquents and prevent delin
quency. They were:
1. Require more police officers
to take special training in ju
venile control.
2. Make sure proper detention

Army's $2 Billion 'Nest Egg' Stirs Speculation by Senators
- By Robert K. Walsh
.A $2 billion “nest egg" for the
Army in the Defense Depart
ment budget has aroused Sena
torial speculation as to whether
such a sum should be eet aside
for safety or psychology.
The Senate last week passed
the $29 billion budget bill with
out challenging the $2 billion
“unobligated balance” for the
Army. The Senate Appropria
tions Committee, however, re
leased closed hearing testimony
which showed today that depart
ment officials, including Secre
tary Wilson, were questioned
closely about that item.
Little Likelihood of Need.
Committee Chairman Bridges,
Republican of New Hampshire
and Senators Saltonstall. Re
publican of Massachusetts, and
Russell, Democrat of Georgia,
i were especially eager to know
whether $2 billion should be in
cluded in the budget when there
seemed littW likelihood that it
would be needed during the fiscal
year beginning July 1.
Committee members and de
partment officials did not use
the word “fat” in referring to
the $2 billion which the Army
apparently has no intention of
spending during the coming
year. Some committee mem
bers asked whether most if not
all of it could not be used im
mediately to trim the overall
.Defense Budget.
Lyle S. Oarlock, deputy budget
facilities for every community
i are provided.
3. Increase probation service
by well-trained workers.
4. Improve training school
programs by means of better
equipment and trained staff.
5. Push the co-ordination of
efforts on State and local levels
by councils of persons and agen
-1 cies serving children.
6. Extend mental hygiene
services for all ages as a pre
ventive and early treatment
measure.
Another Report.
Another report, “Tentative
l Standards for State Institutions
controller of the Defense De
partment, testified the $2 bil
lion was left in the budget for
reasons of “psychology.” He
, explained that similar unobli
gated amounts have been ap
propriated in past years for
Army procurement and produc
; tion. He Indicated the sum was
retained for the 1955 fiscal
; year budget, not only to be ready
for any sudden emergency but
also to prevent the public from
fearing that the Army budget
was being cut too severely.
When Mr. Oarlock explained
that this was a “policy decision”
by the Executive Branch, Sena
tor Saltonstall also observed that
it was “based on psychology.”
“In view of conditions in
Indo-China and all over the
world,” the Massachusetts Sen
ator added, “it might be ad
, visable to leave it there with the
idea that you are not cutting
the Army’s expenditures down to
• too low a limit.”
j "Everything on Psychology.”
Senator Russell remarked that
“we are basing everything on
s psychology now, Supreme Court
i decisions and everything else.”
r That obviously was a reference
' to the court’s recent decision
1 against public school racial seg
• regatlon. Senator Russell, how
; ever, did not protest against the
. $2 billion. He remarked that it
I was “a kind of nest egg” in event
of an emergency.
Secretary Wilson was asked by
' Serving Delinquent Children,”
pointed out that training schools
! receive the "hard core” delin
. quents and that not even the
- most fully developed program
will be able to redirect the be
-1 havior of all of the youngsters
i it serves. However, the report
■ urges that institutions appeal to
the sympathy of the public and
, create an understanding which
! will support the training schools.
The report sets forth as a
standard a maximum of 200 stu
dents for one training school
with the department’s Children’s
! Bureau prefering a maximum of
i 150 students.
Chairman Bridges whether the
Department budget could be re
vised so that part of the $2 bil
lion might he used to reduce
budget requirements for the fol
lowing year. Secretary Wilson
replied that this might be possi
ble to some extent if the de
partment “had enough flexibility
so that we ourselves could re
assign it.” Senator Ferguson.
Republican, of Michigan com
mented that the existence of so
large an unobligated sum was a
possible temptation to larger
