Boys Town Real Home For Homeless Boys Boys Town Rightly Proud Os Record By HARMAN W. NICHOLS BOYS TOWN, Neb., UP — The little boy was wbe&lng his bike through this village when I stopped him. H * “What are you doing here, little fellow?” I asked. "Look, mister,” the kid isaid. “I’m not a bad boy. 1 came here because I didn’t have any other place to live. That’s why all us fellows come here. We like it.” The youhgster just about sized up Boys Town, which was founded in 1917 on a borrowed S9O by the late ;Father Edward J. Flanagan, who had the notion there was no such thing as a bad boy. The good. father at that time gathered in five waifs< off the street —three from juvenile court, plus a couple of homeless newsboys. He gave them a home. It wasn’t much but there was bread in the box and, what was more, the semblance of home. The word got around and Father Flanagan had on his hands more homeless boys than he ever dreamed existed. He had to move to bigger quarters. Later he moved again. ' Today, Boys Town, a few miles outside Omaha, is a city in itself, comprising a thousand acres. About half of the ground is in cultivation. The boys do the cow juicing and th© hay taking. The kids als> learn a trade. Very few bad eggs come out of the basket. There are 500 boys in the lower grades and 500 more in high school. The Rt. Rev. Msgr. Nicholas H.‘ Wegner agrees with his predecessor that bad boys don’t exist. He seldom has any real trouble. There is no reason for such. Boys Town is no prison. There are no walls or fences. If a kid gets unhappy, he can pack his duffle and ska-doodle. He doesn’t have to become a Catholic. There is room for all races, creeds and colors. Boys Town is rightly proud of record. Some 6,000 kids have gone through the mill since Father Flanagan first set up shop. Many, of them have done all right. Doctors, lawyers, priests, etc. t The “town” is properly proud that 1.000 kids from the town served in World War 11. They are equally sad that some of them did hot return.

ALSO REFUSES «Continued From Pate One) enbergs should have been tried, convicted and sentenced under the 1946 atomic energy law or the 1917 espionage act, under which they were convicted and sentenced. The 1946 law requires that the death penalty can “be imposed only on recommendation of a jury. Rosenberg jury made no recommendation. The main issue was whether the new law superseded certain parts of the espionage law. I Vinson, speaking for the majority, said. “We do not doubt that Mr. Justice Douglas had Jthe power to issue a stay.” But, he said, the “full court has considered the question raised on its merits. We think the (fuestion is not substantial. “We think that further proceedings are unwairanted.” Vinson said the court had considered the legal question “on its merits” despite the (fact that “It was raised and presented” by two lawyers who did not directly represent the condemned couple.

Work crews found brown and stiff, bodies, disjointed like grotesque caricatures of humans. U pools of water, against a slope or doubled up beneath a jagged section of still-hot metal. These American boys died 8,000 miles from Elizabeth, N. J., but this tragedy looked and lelt the same as the three plane crashes that converted Elizabeth into a city of fear within four months in late 1951 and early 1955. It was raining hard Thursdaynight. It often seems to Tain when an airplane crashes. The-rain soaks the blankets that covers the bodies, makes the smouldering! wreckage steam and bogs down ambulances. They had called what, happened at Elizabeth “aviatiop’s worst disaster” because 119 died there in *uch a short! time. But more-people died here in a much shorter time—they all died in just a few seconds.: ?; I Passengers on orie of the planes that went down in flames at Elizabeth were on their way to Florida for sun tans. Some oPthe soldiers who died here bearded their plane after having enjoyed a vacation in Tokyo. It all added up to the terrible sense of futility that accompanied the disasters in Elizabeth and now repeated in Tokyo.
