A grand jury that has been investigating violence in city schools resumed its inquiry this morning It planned to hear testimony about the Bureau of Child Guidance. The mayor’s committee resulted from a climax of school crime i that has included two -trapes in j school buildings and a series of ; beatings and other juvenile out- ' breaks. Suicide of a junior high [school principal last week led to la bitter clash between the grand | jury and the Board of Education. Details of the new anti-crime I program not revealed. William R. Peer, the mayor’s i executive secretary and member lof the committee, said the group j had prepared a 500-word program lof specific recommendations | based on suggestions made at a conference Monday between Wagner and school board officials. Peer said he expected the board to disclose the plan late today or Wednesday. Kings County Judge Samuel S. Leibowitz, to whom the grand jury investigating school reports, had urged a conference of city of-

ficials, school board members and newspaper representatives to plan anti-crime moves. But Wagner restricted the committee to school officials, his executive secretary and the deputy mayor.

Sam Raybum Scores Lack Os Leadership Timid Leadership In America Scored By LOUIS CASSELS United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON (UP • - Speaker Sam Rayburn doesn’t beat around the bush. e When you ask him what's wrong with America, he has a quick, three-word answer: "Lack of leadership." That may sound like a Democrat’s political jibe at a Republican president But "Mr. Sam,” although a Democratic leader, made his reply cover both parties and beyond government to business and other areas. He had been asked, as a statesman, to. answer a question which the United Press put to six prominent Americans representing government, the military, business, scie nc e and the church. The question was: "What troubles you most as you look at America today?" The—man who has served as speaker longer than anyone else in history emphasized that his indictment of timid leadership was not aimed solely at the White House. People Underestimated “I think,” he said, peering over his pince-nez glasses, "that the entire political leadership of the country — Congress and the administration, Democrats and Republicans—is guilty of underestimating the American people.”

Rayburn said he is convinced that Americans "want to know the cold, hard facts, of where we i stand in the arms race with Rus- , sia. “I believe the people are ready !to work hard, to have 1 stern de|mands made on them,’ he said, i "They are ready to make whatI ever contributions are necessary [to - keep this—country - strong and ffree.” I _But Rayburn said political lead- ' ers—and" again he included Congress along with the administration—have been reluctant to ask Americans to make heroic contributions. "There has been a tendency to shield the people from bad news, ito withhold essential facts that j they ought to know. There has ! been a hesitancy to impose burJ dens on them — even necessary fburdens.” <

Dignity Stands Out Everyone has seen pictures of Rayburn. But the bald head and the scowl Which are so prominent in his photographs are. not what you notice, when you talk to him ;It is dignity that impresses you —a dignity that flows from the man rather than the trappings of his office, and which remains unruffled even when Mr. Sam reaches back to his boyhood in Bonham. Tex., for an earthy anecdote to illustrate his point. Rayburn, 76, has served in Congress for 45 of those years. Jie jokes about being “an old man. JJ But he doesn’t talk like one. He dfrened the interview by saying he wanted to "get on the record one thing that I’m not worried about.” “I'm not worried about our young people. It makes me tired to hear all this talk about the young generation going to hell in a hack. Every spring I talk to hundreds of these high school seniors on their visits to the Capitol. and I tell you they are a lot smarter than I was at their a ß e ” _ The interview was held in the speaker’s office, just .off the House floor in the Capitol. Mr. Speaker, do you believe the American people are frightened by Russia's successes in missiles and space vehicles? “No. I don’t think they are scared But they are very troubled and humiliated to find out that we are behind the Russians in some things. I think they'd like to get to work remedying the situation if somebody would lay down a program for' them to work at." While Rayburn carefully refrained from direct criticism of President Eisenhower, it was clear throughout the interview j that he does not regard the ad- : ministration s program as - any- : thing like an adequate national response to the present emergency. .; ' Time an again, he spoke of the heed for bolder leadership in government “starting at the top." ! And he said this need for bolder j leadership extends beyond government—into busienss and every ! other segment of our society.
