Nixon Makes
Bold Bid For
Re-armed Japan
TOKYO, Ufl — U.S. Vice Presi
dent Richard Nixon, in a bold bid
for a re-armed Japan, said yes
terday “The United States made
a mistake in 1946” when ijt or
dered destruction of the remnants
of Japanese military might.
Nixon’s dramatic review of Am
erican policy first startled, then
obviously pleased some 700 top
Japanese leaders. There was
quick praise from Japanese who
long have insisted demilitarization
was a costly mistake.
“We misjudged the intentions
of Soviet leaders” at the end of
World War II, Nixon told the in
fluential Japan-America Society.
“Since then,” he said, “the
threat from the Communist na
tions—with the threat centered in
Moscow’’ has prevented the free
world from living in peace.
“It is' because we want peace
and believe in peace,” Nixon
added, “That we (the United
States) have rearmed since 1946
and we believe that Japan and
other nations should share the
same responsibility.
“We felt disarmament was pro
per in 1946. We looked ahead,
hoping against hope that it would
be possible to attain a peaceful
world.
“Since that time, the Commun
ist threat has gained in power—
wars have begun.
“If we want peace, we must be
militarily stronger than the Com
munist nations.”
Informed quarters said Nixon’s
speech apparently inaugurated a
new soft line of persuasion in
dealing with Japan.
Lawlessness In
Teen-Age Grops
Spreading Fast
Childrens’ Bureau Chief
Says Governments Don’t
Provide Enough Funds
WASHINGTON, W—Dr. Martha
M. Eliot, chief of the Federal
Children’s Bureau, told investigat
ing senators Thursday teen - age
lawlessness is spreading fast and
that facilities to stem the rise “are
grossly inadequate.”
The motherly looking witness,
a veteran of more than 25 years
with the bureau, said that at pres
ent rates of increase, the num
ber of juveniles in serious trouble
will have nearly doubled by
1960. She said the total might
reach 750,000 by that year, a
climb from today’s level of an es
timated 385,000.
Dr. Dliot accused economy
minded federal, state and local
governments of failing to provide
enough funds to do a real job in
the juvenile delinquency field.
She spoke as the lead-off wit
ness before a special Senate sub
committee holding public hear
ings on causes and possible reme
dies for the rise in. youthful crime
—an increase of 29 per cent in
the last four years, she said.
“Only one out of six commu
nities has a sufficient number of
juvenile police officers,” she said.
She termed the 174 detention
homes serving 2,500 juvenile
courts across the land as far too
few and imperfect in their setups.
Too many of the courts handling
delinquent children lack proper
expert counsel,” Dr. Eliot said.
She said some parsons have
charged that “a breakdown” in
the family home is a major cause
of delinqunecy but “breakdown,
I believe, is too strong a word for
what is happening in most fam
ilies.
“In most cases I think it is
indifference, lack of understand
ing perhaps ignorance, confusion.”
“Juvenile delinquency is cer
tainly not the worry of the fam
ily alone,” Dr. Eliot said. What
is needed, she said, is teamwork
between the family, the commu
nities and government agencies.

“Flying Saucers”
In Great Britain
LONDON, UPi—The Air Minis
try says Britain’s latest “flying
saucer” probably was nothing but
a weather balloon.
The “saucer” was reported by
the War Office Tuesday night. It
said a Royal Air Force night
fighter pilot first sighted a “huge,
glowing metallic object” hovering
menacingly over Britain’s coast
line. Later an army radar crew
tracked the object on its screens.
An Air Ministry spokesman said
last night the movements of the
object correspond exactly with
the passage of a metal meteor
ological balloon released earlier
Tuesday.
