JIONAl iDlfptlAI -m r e . j . . . 2i2 L J Subscription Rate $150 Per Year Delinquency No Simple Answer The causes, prevention, and cure of crime and, in particular, partic-ular, of juvenile delinquency are problems of utmost complexity. com-plexity. If the Senate Committee to Investigate Juvenile Delinquency accomplishes nothing else, the contribution of its recent report to a public comprehension of this essential fact may justify the months and even years of investigation and synthesis, j , ,;:':"' p; ' ' ' - There have long been both "conservative" and "liberal" oversimplifications of how to deal with anti-social youth. ' If one were to believe the former, all that would be necessary would be to restore the iron rule of the adult that character ized, say, the ancient Roman society. If one were to believe the latter, all that would be necessary would be to minimize poverty, clear all slums, and dot the nation with supervised playgrounckt r; Without rejecting the need for firm -handling of antisocial anti-social behavior, or the roles played by better living standards, stand-ards, better housing, and better recreation facilities in reducing reduc-ing delinquency, the report also points out some startling (to many) counter-facts: That studies have shown some juvenile juve-nile groups frequently and severely punished were more delinquent than groups less punished. That delinquency erupts in middle , and upper-income neighborhoods as well as in poor ones. That slum-clearance housing can sometimes concentrate ready-made hoodlum gangs. And that the ex-' ex-' pert at delinquency is often the expert at sports One child will be affected destructively by an environment environ-ment which only challenges another. That there , is no adequate ade-quate subsistute for the family circle hence the "frequency of broken families in contemporary society and confusion as to moral values within even unbroken families may be the largest causal factors in the problem. And that "the cause of crime is crime" contact with antisocial thinking and behavior tends to produce antisocial thinking and behavior. be-havior. ..... The Senate group remained consistent with its findings on the complex and subtle nature of delinquency: It urged no single legislative nostrum, its emphasis on the crucial role of the family circle, however, stands out from its emphasis em-phasis on complexity.

William A. Dawson BUDGET PLEA . . . President Elsenhower's defense of his, budget bud-get rings with sincerity. This Is as It should be. The President Presi-dent before submitting his budget bud-get to Congress already had made sizeable cuts in overall requests submitted to him by federal bureaus. My experience in Congress has convinced me that if there is anything more persuasive than the song of the Sirens It is a bureaucrat's plea for his budget. NEXT STEP . . . President Elsenhower must weigh all of these hundreds of pleas and de cide which should be granted, which should be denied and which should be cut. It is tremendous Job. The next step Is to present his overall recom mendatlons to Congress. Then Congress takes a fresh look and usually manages to effect fur ther economies. This process always al-ways causes clashes between the executive and legislative branches. These clashes are provided by the Constitution and are designed to prevent the concentration of power in any one of the -three branches of government; THE RECORD . . . What has been the record of the past? In the eight annual budget requests re-quests sent to Congress since 1050, the Chtef Executive has recommended 1 appropriations totaling $545.7 billion. In no instance did Congress grant appropriations ap-propriations that totaled requests. re-quests. Appropriations for the same period totaled $505.2 billion. bil-lion. Put another way if Congress had granted all it was asked to appropriate during the past eight years' this nation would be $40.1, billion further in debt, or taxes would have to have been Increased by that amount. THE DANGER . . . There is always .danger, of course, . that an economy drive will get out of hand and the President is wise to alert the people of this country 'Of., this danger. This is particularly true of this session of Congress. ' The spenders who a year ago forced Secretary on Defense Wilson to accept $500 million more than he said he needed are now driving the economy bandwagon. The reins consequently . are In inexpert enced hands and the drivers are going in a direction they have never headed before. CAUTIOUS CUnTNO . Despite the walla of agencies whose budget has been cut to date, I am confident that no valuable service has been in Jured. The average American taxpayer will never miss the programs affected by the cuts. We must at the same time guard that we do not cut too deeply. A pruned tree produces superior fruit, but we must not damage the trunk. Utah National Guard . ..., ...-.. . . -j . . To Complete Brighton-Midway Rood Engineer units of the Utah National Guard will move their heavy equipment into the high Wasatch Mountains, early next month to put finishing touches on the scenic Brighton-Midway American Fork Canyon road way. The road project will be the engineers' assignment during the two-week summer camp of the Utah National Guard June 9 to 23, Other units, artillery, military police, band and evacuation evacu-ation hospital, will be training simultaneously at Camp W. O. Williams, south of Bait Lake City. Engineers, spending their third summer camp in the Brighton area, will be attempting attempt-ing to make the combat-type roadway passable this year to passenger cars. Jeeps could make the trip last year with little difficulty, according to CoL Herbert L. Price, Commander of the 115Jh Engineer Oroup. The road snakes from the Brighton Highway, Just below Brighton Itself, about four miles to 9.8000-foot Guardsman Pass.: From there it drops into Bonanza Bon-anza Flats, south Into Pine Canyon Can-yon and then into Midway. ' Another segment runs from Midway up Snake Creek Canyon Can-yon and connects with American Fork Canyon. Three battalions of the H5tn Engineer Group the 1334th of Murray, the 115th of Bait Lake and the 1457th of American Fork each have been assigned a four-to-six mile segment. Graveling of most of the route will be the main project. The roadway will be widened to two lanes and culverts will be built where needed. It is now one lane, 12 to 15 feet wide in most spots.
