Edgar Hoover, for 35 years the vigilant, hard-driving director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (the FBI), and a foremost authority on countrywide law enforcement problems, sternly asserts: "Society has every right to demand that neglectful parents be required to face responsibility when their children run afoul of the law." Since 1952 juvenile arrests have increased 68 per cent while America's juvenile population has risen only 29 per cent. Last year, persons under 18 years of age represented only 12.1 per cent of all persons arrested; however, they were subjects of 64.1 per cent of the arrests for automobile theft, 49.9 per cent of the arrests for burglary, 48.5 per cent of the larceny arrests, 30.9 "Society has every right to demand that neglectful parents be required to face responsibility when their children run afoul of the law." Since 1952 juvenile arrests have increased 68 per cent while America's juvenile population has risen only 29 per cent. Last year, persons under 18 years of age represented only 12.1 per cent of all persons arrested; however, they were subjects of 64.1 per cent of the arrests for automobile theft, 49.9 per cent of the arrests for burglary, 48.5 per cent of the larceny arrests, 30.9 per cent of the arrests for receiving stolen property, and 22.8 per cent of the robbery arrests. With rare exceptions, the young hoodlums who constitute a major problem of community after community—regardless of its size and location and including Anaheim—are products of neglected homes. They do not devote the time or have the real interest to become a genuine part of their children's lives. Now, let's go back to Mr. Hoover who says: "There is no place in a decent home for 'peephole literature' or alleged 'entertainment' which applauds lawlessness, snickers at immorality, and mocks our time-honored traditions of hard work, decency and justice. These presentations can have a dangerous effect upon the impression minds of children, as well as upon adults who suffer various forms of instability." Director Hoover could well have added "honesty" to his above enumerated category, and linked it with today's TV entertainment. What about the "fixed quiz shows" about which we've heard so much recently? What is the effect on hundreds of thousands of American youngsters who have watched these "giveaway shows" such as "Twenty-one" and "The $64,000 Question," believing them to be honestly conducted, and then suddenly discovering them to have been "stacked" and utterly dishonest? That is "A 64-Million Question." It's certain to impair the outlook and honest purpose and decent living of crowds of American youngsters. A mere slap on the wrist for the broadcasting companies by the House Special Subcommittee on Legislative Oversight on these disclosures isn't enough. Sure, broadcasting has lost a lot of prestige as a result of the quiz show scandals. But are they repentant? Only one, CBS, has had the intestinal stamina and decency to ban all quiz shows from its programs. NBC lamely asserts it will afford better policing for such shows in the future. Why weren't they properly policed in the past so that all this crookedness would have been avoided? We repeat the statement of the Rev. Lawrence W. McMaster, Jr., director for Radio and Television of the United Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. to the TV industry: "Your prime responsibility is not to the sponsor, not to the network, but to the people. The air is legally and rightfully theirs; you have franchise only." In failing to help clear up the pall of doubts which descended like smog over the networks, they simply risked arousing further hostility. During a few sacrificial whipping boys has not helped matters. To date, there have been no resignations at vice presidential or higher levels along Broadcasting Row. There should be. Mere smokescreening won't do. And there must be a higher regard by all TV and broadcasting chains and stations for the decency and honesty of most Americans, including, and this is primary, our boys and girls. Army Pfc. Donald V.

Million Wise Californians Now that Hallowe'en is gone, Thanksgiving Day nears and Christmas really is "just around the corner," most Anaheim folk are becoming more cognizant that Christmas necessitates a filled pocketbook if it is to be celebrated amply and properly. Pleasure can attend this joyous time of the year if we are members of a Christmas Savings Club and can have a nice, tidy sum saved with which to pad the fat wallet of age-old Santa Claus. The Bank of America reports that it will send out 533,000 checks this month as against 517,800 last year. The amount is $69,250,000, compared with $65,500,000 in 1958, an increase of $3,750,000. Not bad, eh, Santy? Altogether, a million Californians had Christmas Club accounts this year. Which means, at least one millian alert and smart people in our state. Cancer Literature Totals Disclosed More than 15,000 pieces of educational literature about cancer and 100,000 crusade pamphlets were distributed in Orange County the past year by volunteer workers of the American Cancer Society, it is announced by William J. Griffith, Orange County branch president. Mrs. Marie B. Timmons, vice president in charge of service, of the branch, said the activities report prepared annually at the close of the society's fiscal year revealed that 897 requests for cancer information were received and serviced, and that 170 local cancer patients were given counsel and help. The Orange County Branch of ACS is located at 848 N. Birch St., Santa Ana.

The year prior she had finished second, behind Pat McCormick, in the Olympic Games in Helsinki, Finland. The 1956 Olympics in Melbourne, Australia, resulted in a repeat performance of the 1952 games for the pretty brunette as she again wound up with second place honors in the springboard and tower diving events behind Mrs. McCormick.
