RAY OF HOPE
Inspector John E. Winters, head of the newly or
ganized juvenile division of the Washington Police
Department, and Chief Robert E. Murray are expected
to ask the new Congress (which must make the laws
for the Capital City) for a new act that promises
effective control over juvenile delinquency for the first
time in our history.
Under the new law, a parent’s knowledge of his
child’s crime would be considered prima-facie evidence,
on which the parent could be convicted. This would
go far beyond the ineffective charge of contributing
to the delinquency of a minor, and recognizes what all
frustrated workers in this alarmingly growing field
have long realized—that where there’s juvenile delin
quency there must be adult delinquency.
Such a law would close the present gap in respon
sibility, and show the whole nation the way back to
law and order.

Pvt. David Schine Bags
Big Moose on Pass
[ From Ft. Richardson
| ANCHORAGE, (A*)—G. David
I Schine, former Communist trailer
for the McCarthy committee, is
doing pretty well as a big game
hunter in Alaska.
Now serving with the Fort Rich
ardson military police detach
ment, Schine utilized his pass time
last weekend to bag a moose that
may turn out to be No. 13 in the
record books.
That’s the way it was sized up
by Chuck Sutter of Tazlina, the
professional guide who took Pvt.
Schine on the hunt. All the fig
ures weren’t available, but Sutter
said the antler spread was 62 Vi
inches. ‘

Alger Hiss,
Out of Jail,
Claims Innocence
LEWISBURG, Pa., Ifll—Alger
Hiss, convicted of lying when he
denied giving government secrets
to a Communist spy ring, was re
leased from federal prison Satur
day. He immediately proclaimed
he was innocent, asserting the
charges against him were “un
true.”
Hiss, dressed in a business-type
hat and well-worn grey topcoat
brought to the penitentiary by his
wife, told newsmen at the prison
gate:
“I shall renew my efforts to dis
pel the deception that has been
foisted on the American people.”
Hiss spent 3Vz years of a 3-year
sentence in the penitentiary at
Lewisburg. Specifically he was
convicted of lying to a federal
grand jury after a congressional
investigation which looked into
charges by Whittaker Chambers,
admitted Soviet spy courier, that
he had obtained government doc
uments from Hiss, a former State
Department official.
Chambers, a former senior edi
tor of Time Magazine now living
in retirement on a farm in West
minster, Md., where he is recov
ering from a heart attack, accused
Hiss of being a member of a Com
munist Party group.
Hiss termed this a lie, said he
never saw Chambers after Jan. 1,
1937. Chambers then produced
microfilm copies of the allegedly
stolen documents-film, concealed
in a pumpkin on his farm. This
clinched the case against Hiss.

Medical Specialist Team Urges More j
Training for Native Health Workers, I
Better Handling of the Mentally 111
WASHINGTON, l/P)—Expansion^
of the present program for train
ing of native health workers in
Alaska is urged by a team of med
ical specialists after a study of
Alaska’s health program.
The survey group also recom
mended legislation to improve
handling of the territory’s mental
ly ill.
Secretary of Interior McKay
announced the findings Friday.
He said they and other recommen
dations of the medical group are
under study by the Interior Dept.
The recommendations are:
That resources of the Alaska
Native Service and the Territorial
Department of Health be pooled
and placed under a single admin
istration.
That “native” Alaska—north
and west of the Seward-Fairbanks
rail belt—be subdivided into six
health districts with headquarters
at Barrow, Kotzebue, Bethel, Kan
akunak, Tanana and Nome.
That responsibility for execu
tion of a contract for care of Al
aska’s mentally ill be transferred
from the Interior Department to
the Public Health Service, and
that the territory assume increas
ing responsibility for the pro
gram’s cost.
That federal agencies concerned
initiate at the earliest possible
moment an emergency program of
“food for health,” utilizing sur
plus foods held in storage by the
federal government.
The survey was made under
contract between the department
and the Graduate School of Public
Health, University of Pittsburgh.
The studies were made in the ter
ritory during the last two sum
mers. Heading the survey team
was Dr. Thomas Parran, former
U.S. surgeon general and now
dean of the university’s School of
Public Health.
McKay said the report draws a
sharp contrast between southeast
ern Alaska and the predominantly
native area north and west of the
railbelt. “The indigenous peoples
of native Alaska,” the report said,
“are the victims of sickness, crip
pling conditions and premature
deaths to a degree exceeded in J
very few parts of the world.”
