PUNISH PARENTS OF JUVENILE DELINQUENTS
A “Temporary State Commission on Youth and
Delinquency” will ask the New York State Legislature
for a “parental responsibility” law under which parents
can be fined or imprisoned, or both, for the misdeeds of
their minor offspring.
In its report to Governor Harriman, the commis
sion urged that the courts be given the power to compel
the parents of juvenile delinquents to restrain and cor
rect their young hopefuls, and to take the rap if they
fail. The suggested maximum penalties would be $250
fine or 30 days in jail, or both.
We congratulate the commission on the sanest ap
proach yet offered on this problem—and wonder if the
solons will have the courage to implement it.

Alaska Guard
Units Get Spring
Trip to States
A springtime trip to the States
is now definitely scheduled for
the infantry battalions of the Al
aska National Guard.
The annual two weeks of field
training for the infantry units is
planned for Fort Lewis near Ta
coma, Wash., from April 1 thru
April 15, 1956. In the past few
years most Alaska Guard field en
campments have been held in the
vicinity of Anchorage.
This will be the first time that
an annual field training for the
Guard will be held outside the
territory. It promises to afford an
opportunity for many young Alas
kans to get their first view of the
States while taking their two
weeks of field training which sup
plements their 48 armory drills of
the National Guard training year.
The movement to Fort Lewis
from points in central and south
east Alaska will be by air from
collecting points extending from
Ketchikan to Fairbanks.
The giant air movement of the
guardsmen from what is consid
ered an “overseas” theater will be
unique in National Guard history.
The operation will involve about
600 officers and men and some
equipment of Headquarters, Alas
ka National Guard and the 207th
and 208th Infantry Battalions.

Juvenile Judge Takes
Teenagers' Advice With
Sterner Approach
LOUISV1ILE, Ky., MV—Juvenile
Judge Louis H. Jull is going to
take the advice of his Youth Ad
visory Committee and put up a
sterner front for young offenders.
The judge received a report
from the teenage group yesterday
and heard local juvenile delin
quency correction efforts termed
“95 percent diagnosis and 5 per
cent treatment.”
It was then he decided to try
out some of the recommendations,
such as instituting an atmosphere
of “formality ... to make the
juvenile’s first appearance in
court one that would leave a last
ing impression and if necessary a
frightening one.”

Business as Usual for
President Eisenhower as !
Secretary Is Reappointed
WASHINGTON, OPt—President |
Eisenhower reappointed Bernard (
Shanley as his appointments sec- |
retary today and thereby put a
qualified ousiness-as-usual sign on
his White House office door.
Shanley resigned the post Nov*:
15, some seven weeks after Eisen
hower suffered his heart attack.
It has been vacant ever since, with !
the understanding that Eisen
hower would have fewer appoint
ments.
Reneweal of the job came as the
President, avowedly feeling pretty
chipper but still indefinte about
second term plans, plunged into a
busy day of staff work. It was his |
first such day since early August,
when he left the capital for Den
ver. He was stricken Sept. 24 dur
ing his stay there.
Eisenhow'er’s busy morning in
cluded conferences with Sherman
Adams, his chief assistant; Maj.
Gen. Wilton Persons, his legisla
tive liaison man; Arthur Burns,
his economic chieftain, and Gerald
Morgan, his counsel.
Additionally, Eisenhower signed
“quite a few" nominations for re
cess nominations made after Con
gress left town in August.

ARCTIC SANITARY
SERVICE
PHONE RED 181
WASHINGTON, UP — Congres
sional sources said the Atomic
Energy Commission plans its most
powerful hydrogen bomb blast in
a test in the Pacific.
These sources said the record
blast will be part of a series of
tests now being organized by
Chairman Lewis L. Strauss of the
Atomic Energy Commission.
Strauss has made no formal an
nouncement on the test even to
members of the Joint Congres
sional Atomic Committee but it
was learned the demonstration
will be in the Eniwetok testing
area in the Pacific.
There was speculation the ex
plosion might be from two to
three times the size of the one
produced by the United States in
1954, the greatest ever produced.
On that basis the 1956 explosion^
might be around 50 megatons in
size, or the equal of 50 million
tons of TNT.
In theory, a hydrogen or fusion
bomb, unlike a conventional atom
ic fission, could be developed to
almost any power desired. Prac
tically, such size would be lim
ited by the need for fitting it
into a transportable weapon, such
as a bomb casing for air delivery.
Under present plans more than
one island site will be used, it
was said, in order to conduct a
series of tests at a rapid rate.
The greatest man-made explo
sion so far presumably was the
hydrogen bomb detonated by the
United States at Bikini Atoll on
March 1, 1954. That explosion was
estimated unofficially at between
15 and 17 megatons—the equi
valent of energy released by the
explosion of 15 to 17 million tons
of standard TNT.
A Soviet test in November 1955,
on the basis of published reports
from overseas, appears to have
been between one to five mega
tons.
There were reports tha‘ the
United States planned to detona e
a bigger bomb, perhaps in the or
der of 30 megatons, immediately
after the March 1954 shot as a
continuation of that experimental
series.
However, this plan was shelved
temporarily, some sources said,
because of the widespread radio
active fallout from the March 1
explosion which produced protests
from abroad.
