Urges Sports Aid Fight On Delinquency NEW YORK (INS) —Dan Thornston, husky ex-governor of Colorado, believes the U. S. is failing to utilise fully one of its biggest assets in the fight against juvenile delinquency. What Thornton has in mind is sporta. That thought is not new or original in itself. Many communities make teen-age athletic programs an effective counterweight against kid crime. But it is Thornton’s contention that the prosent sports programs are too piecemeal, too limited in scope. Generally, they must operate on inadequate budgets, with funds begged by a few strongbacked volunteers. Too often, such programs fail to reach the youngsters most in need of them. “Everyone is going around wondering, ‘what is this younger generation coming toT” said Thornton. “We’d be better off thinking positively-lining up activities that would keep the kids too busy. to get into mischief.” Thornton, a low handicap golfer and an ardent sportsman himself, cited juvenilsL. experiments in his own state. Programs were set up in tennis, baseball and campLo|g. “We found they reduced delinquency up to 90 per cent,” Thornton said. The 44-year-old westerner believes the communities tend to think of juvenile crime as a strictly local problem. "It’s not though,” he asserted. “It’s something we’ve got to start thinking about on a national level.” - , Thornton contends that the nation’s largest industries are, for the most part, shirking a responsibility. "Any way you look at it,” he said, “they are the ones that ought to take tffe initiative tor properly financed and organised youth programs. If for no other reason, because they’re the ones that ußimitMy toot the bills, through taxes, when these kids have to be arrested and tried and put away in a reform school or prison. "Not only that, but today’s juveniles are tomorrow’s customers. The kid who grows up to be an honest, decent citizen will be a lot better customer than, the one who is in jail.” Thornton readily concedes that many businessmen are active in such things as boys clubs and the various junior baseball programs. He cited Elmer Ward, a clothing manufacturer, who sponsors the annual Palm Beach golf tournament and turns over all proceed* to the Boys’ Club of New York, and the Cbla Cola Corporation, which underwrites the 13-to 16-year-old Babe Ruth baseball leagues. “Such people do some wonderful work,” said Thornton, "but I’d like to see some of the other big corporations get into this thing on a national scale. “We have nationwide campaigns for funds to combat just about every sort of ailment imaginable, and I certainly have no quarrel With them. "But it’s time ws started to thing of our juvenile problem as something just as pressing, maybe more so, to us as a nation as any of these other forms of sickness.” Will Hire Director For Patronage Jobs INDIANAPOLIS (INS) —State budget director Don Clark haa announced plans tor hiring a "salary administrator” who will direct the evaluation of 6,500 patronage jobs.

One Man Confesses

Mail Robbery Plot Tipster Is Under Police Protection LAS VEGAS, Nev. (INS) — A fantastic plot to steal 31,000,000 in the biggest mail robbery In American history is only a vanished dream today because one man apparently could not face up to the crime. The man’s name remains a mystery, however. He is in protective custody of Las Vegas police and federal officers in one part of the gambling resort, while in the city jail five suspected members of the foiled robbery gang await prosecution. Las Vegas police said they have a full written confession from one of the jailed men. Robert Schomer, a 29-year-old father of five. The other four defendants in jail are George H. Anderson, 31, a disgruntedly Las Vegas policeman; his wife, Joyce, 24; his brother, Robert, 19, and Walter F. Ludwig, 34, cookie salesman and former Las Vegas policeman. All five of the jailed suspects were arraigned before U. S. commissioner Gus Blad Wednesday on charges of conspiring to rob the mails and lesser accusations and were returned to jail in lieu of 115,000 Hail each.

Many Subversives In Defense Plants 21 Are Officials Or Organizers For UE WASHINGTON (INS) — Testi* many naming 87 persons as past or present Communists was made public today by the senate internal security subcommittee, whose chairman said many of them are still working in defense plants. Os the 87, it was reported that 21 had never before been described as Reds or ex-T?eds in testimony befgre congressional committees. All 21 of these are or were officials or organisers for the United Electrical Workers Union, 19 of them in the critical industrial area of eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The CIO expelled the union several years ago on charges it was communist dominated. Subcommittee chairman James O. Eastland (D-Miss.) said in making the testimony public that Communists . . are union officials: some are now employed in plants “many of the people named as which now have or have had defense contracts and which would be called on to produce strategic materials if we should again be involved in a shooting war. “Such people . . have no place in plants of this character. They should not be representatives of loyal labor organisations. They should not be allowed to stand before the public as leaders of labor ..." The 21 were named by Ernest C. Moyer, of Easton, Pa., a former UEW organiser now employed by the CIO steelworkers union, who said he joined the Communist party tn 1937 and “drifted away” in 1950.

Alternate Plan By Craig For Building Abandons Idea Os Legislative Call INDIANAPOLIS (INS) —Proof that Governor George N. has abandoned his announced plan to call a special session of the Indiana general assembly came today with announcement of an alternate method of obtaining the “lost” building project he described as the most essential. Plans for getting started on an intermediate penal institution for first* offenders 16 to 21 years of age were announced by state correction board chairman Rugh P. O'Brien. The plan requires state budget committee approval, and would get underway with building of two 68 inmate dormitories on state owned land two miles northeast of the Pendleton reformatory. At the time Gov. Craig returned from his post legislative vacation, he said he would summon the legislators back to consider four building projects which Tailed to get through the hectic finale of the 1955 general assembly. He said the intermediate penal institute was the most important of these four. However, gubernatorial legislative advisors strongly opposed a special session, and nothing more has been said about the matter since then. The state budget committee — which displayed a 2 to 1 majority for gubernatorial prdjects at the time of the last test on toll road funds —will be asked to allot uncommitted funds and any department of correction balances at the end of the biennium, June 30. to (he penal project. Craig, who apparently has ad-

O’Brien said estimates will be sought from architects on the costs of the proposed two dormitories., The penal head said that possibly 600 present inmates of the reformatory and the penal farm would qualify for the new institution, but that those at the farm- would get first consideratidm Child Near Death From Rat Poison INDIANAPOLIS (INS) —An 18-month-old boy was near death today in Indianapolis Methodist hospital after he climbed up a vacuum cleaner to reach a bottle of ant poison in a cabinet.
