Impatient Attitude Slows Progress on Race Issue ?&'' I Difficult Ally on Way to Visit U.S. President de Gaulle is now in Canada and will arrive in the United States Friday on another of those tours by world statesmen which have become so popular in recent years. The French President comes here as an ally and the ostensible purpose of his visit is to prepare for the summit conference in Paris next month. He will also travel across the United States, visiting both San Francisco and New Orleans be- fore returning home. The nature, however, of his discussions with President Eisenhower is not entirely Western allies agreed that, when the summit meeting is held, a firm stand will be taken against Premier Khrushchevs plans to take over Berlin. -- Last week, the foreign ministers of the Reverie for April 19 One hundred and 1 eighty-fiv-e years ago British troops fired on a band of today, 75 Minute Men at Lexington, Massachu- setts, killing eight and wounding ten.

Editor, Tribune: A lot has been said about getting to the root of juvenile delinquency. A law that was passed some time ago came to my attention recently. This law was to the effect that a parent cannot in any way leave marks of whippings on a child or the law will step in and arrest the parents. So the child knows the parents do not dare touch them and they go merrily along and do as they please, knowing that if the parents use the old hickory stick they can holler for help and the law will come running. The law says if the parent cant handle the child, send him to the reform school. What an easy out for the law! Force the parents to let the children become juvenile delinquents because they dare not give them the discipline they need. And then the law sends them to the reform school to get rid of the problem. What parent wants to send a child there if they can steer them on the right path? No, the parents dont need to leave bruises and welts that is true but neither does the law need to give the child the feeling of security that the parent better not touch the child or else.
