Social Dynamite A number of our country’s leaders, as well as many local people, are quite concerned by the number of youths who do not go on to higher education from high school, or who even drop out before they finish high school. About 95% of 17-year-old juvenile deliquents are not attending high school; 85% of the 16-year-olds, and 50% of the 15-year-olds are in the same situation. Only one out of ten teenagers now growing up in rural areas, like Adams county, will find farm jobs when they are ready to enter the labor market. In 1961, one-half of all U.S. males were mar - ried before age 23. one-half of all females, before age 20. This means that they expect to make a living and raise a family with no more education than that received in those years. It is a real pity that with so many entering the laboring market, we still have a tremendous shortage of personnel in skilled, professional and semi-professional, and technical occupations. — Here we are, stimulating the economy to provide more jobs, yet we cannot fill many jobs because the youth of the nation, eager to leave home, get married and “make a living”, won’t stay in school and training long enough to prepare for a good job! In 1962, 13% of the youths 14-19 years of age in the labor market were unemployed. For those over 25, it was 5%. This summer, million high school graduates, with no special training will enter the labor market, rather than try to go to college. Yet many could work this summer, earn enough to enroll at an extension in Fort Wayne, work and study this fall, and eventually secure a college or technical training. Decatur high school is adding automotive studies to its curriculum, so those youths who plan a mechanical career can learn to break down auto motors in schoool. This is just part of a continuing curriculum study program necessary in any high school to cope with changing times; but it doesn’t solve the entire problem. The problem rests with the American public. Parents must encourage their children to receive ample training for a good job before stopping their formal education, and before getting married.

Complex Problems In Latin America
Fifth and last of a Series By PHIL NEWSOM UP! Foreign News Analyst CARACAS, Venezuela — Communism is on the retreat in ezuelaThis is important news. For if Communism were to take over Venezuela, Castro Cuba would have its oil problems solved and Soviet Russia would be relieved of a tremendous burden. And if democracy were to fail in Venezuela, despite natural wealth which includes $3 million a day from oil alone, then the prospects of the success for the goals for the Alliance for Progress would be dim indeed through the whole of South America. Venezuela is not totally peaceful. for as the Communists and the Castroites have failed to gain a popular following they have turned to terrorism. Hand grenades explode in populous streets at night and Communist youths battle police in gun fights in which at least 60 police or army guardsmen have been killed. Fires causing millions of dollars of damage have gutted properties owned by Sears Roebuck and Chiclet. Oil pipelines have been blown up. Plots against American cigarette, automobile and film companies have been uncovered and thwarted. But Venezuela’s tough interior minister, Carlos Andres Perez, regards these as a dying gasp. They have not prevented an increasing return of foreign investment and not for more than a year have the communists been successful in staging street riots. _ Today’s story of Venezuela largely is the story of a stockily built man in horn-rimmed spectacles who sometimes goes under the nickname “Papa Pipa” — papa with the pipe. He is President Romulo Betancourt who took office Feb. 13, 1959, and who, in March, 1964, has the prospect of turning over his office for the first time in Venezuelan history to a peacefully elected successor. Betancourt already has served in office longer than any of his elected predecessors. Betancourt took office just as Venezuela was emerging from the dictatorship of Marcos Perez sJiminez. The country, with a population of only about 7% million, was S4OO million in debt-. As the Betancourt government acted to pay off its debts and tighten credits', the economy fell into stagnation. Unemployment mounted and opposition rose from both right and left. Reduce Foreign Debt Venezuela today has S7OO million in foreign credits and its foreign debt has been reduced to $l6O million. The bolivar is among the soundest currencies in South America. In Betancourt’s four years, he has been the target of one assassination attempt and four major .military revolts.

From the assassination attempt he still bears the scars on his face and hands. Government efforts and encouraging facts and figures are one thing, but in Venezuela something else also is occurring that is among the most heartening in all of South America. It is a phenomenon affecting the “barrios," the slum villages whose shacks crawl wretchedly up the sides of the hills surrounding Caracas. One of these is the Altanista area. In the Altanista area is a little barrio celled “La Linea" because a rail line once ran there. Red Leadership Toppled It is noteworthy for the political change which has seized leadership from the Communists there and for an American girl named Winifred Marich, a blonde 25-year-old graduate of the University of California at Los Angeles who could be a beauty queen on any campus. Winifred is a member of a unique organization called Accion en Venezuela, founded several years ago by another UCLA graduate, Joseph Blatchford, who now makes his headquarters in Caracas. Accion en Venezuela pre-dated the U.S. Peace Corps and its members moved directly into the barrios. Among the slum shacks and their dwellers, Winifred Marich has worked for the last year and a half. Communist youths tore down a fence which had been erected to prevent children falling to their deaths down the precipitous hillsides. Communist leaders campaigned vigorously against Accion en Venezuela. But the Reds were fighting a losing battle. Today, the man who threatened or endangered the tall, blonde girl from California would take his life in his hands from other villagers. Adults are learning to read and write. Homes are being beautified. Trades are being taught. Dwellers of the barrio are building their own sewage system with supplies donated by the government. Nicklaus Widens Lead In Winnings DUNEDIN, Fla. (UPI) — Jack Nicklaus, collecting $13,000 for his victory in last weekend’s Tournament of Champions event, has widened his lead in the Professional Golfers Association money-winning standings -with total earnings of $52,715 for 1963. Tony Lerna and Arnold Palmer, who tied for second place in the rich tourney at Las Vegas, Nev., moved into the No. 2 and 3 spots behind Nicklaus. Lerna has won $32,496.36 this year and Palmer $31,375.
Catholics End Demonstrations At Schools By HARRY FERGUSON United Press International JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (UPI) — Catholic parents, temporarily set back in their battle for free school buses for parochial school children, Monday called off demonstratioh enrollments at public schools but promised stronger action later. A committee of spokesmen for the parents said they had made the public aware of their grievance ad instructed the students to return to their parochial schools. Massive enrollments were promised next fall, unless buses were provided. The Missouri House of Representatives Monday declined to reconsider a bill which would have provided the free buses to private and parochial schools students. The more than 2,000 students who had left their church-spon-sored schools during the past fewdays and enrolled at public schools were expected to return to parochial schools today. Gov. John Dalton said he believed the state was “fiscally” capable of handling the influx next autumn. It was estimated it would cost Missouri an additional $66.5 million annually to educate the 172,000 Catholics who now attend private institutions. Dalton said that he believed the proposed bus service for the parochial students was contrary to the state constitution, and had made a ruling to that effect when he was state’s attorney general. The demonstrations were touched off by a 19-8 refusal vote in the House Judiciary Committee, which ordinarily would have killed the bill After the enrollment demonstrations spread, there was action in the House to bring the bill up for a roll call vote, but it was halted with a motion for tabling. The lawmakers yelled “yea” and the bill was shoved aside. The cost of the buses, however, was a small matter. The main issue was whether aid, in any form, would be extended to parochial schools or students. There was a revival of talks about separation of church .and state. “A fact brought out by a recent national Gallup poll,” the Catholics countered, “levealed 50 per cent of the‘ people of the United States hold that parochial and private school children are entitled to public aid.” A group of Protestant church leaders in Kansas City, Mo., released a signed statement in rebuttal: “If parents want a private or parochial school education for their children they should be expected to provide for it, including transportation to it,” the statement said. The Protestants charged this was part of a movement that could ultimately develop two school ad bus systems and “prohibitive” taxes.
The religious - political enrollments were peaceful. There never was any of the harsh feelings that surrounded racial school enrollments at Little Rock or Jackson, Miss. But schools in many communities were filled past capacity and classes dismissed. The transfers started last week, but were mostly in small communities. .They spread Monday to suburbs of both Kansas City and St. Louis and 447 Catholic students enrolled in state capital Schools here. There were 198 high school and 350 elementary students who enrolled at Washington, a town 30 miles west of St. Louis. The St. Louis suburb of Florissant had 75 transfers. Near Kansas City, there were 14 changes to schools at Hickman Mills and Raytown. Smaller mid-state towns had

scattered to heavy enrollments including Osage Bend, a two-room school that ordinarily has 90 pupils- By mid-morning, it had 212 students and had to dismiss classes for fire safety reasons. Dalton said he would call a special session of the state legislature it enrollments next fall created overwhelming problems. 100 Marked Trout Released In Pit A total of 100 marked trout have been released in the New Corydon gravel pit, and the percentage of returns on the ear tags will determine Whether the pond will continue to be stocked, Jack Hurst, dist)rict conservation officer, said today. The fish were released last Friday, and the pond is marked asking that anyone who catches trout there return the small marker on the gill. For several years, trout have been placed in the deep pit. But no ,one ever seems to catch any from the year before, or any big ones. The shocker was used to try. to bring them to the surface, but if there were' any in the water, they were tob deep to be reached. Therefore, unless there is a good return of marks this year, the stocking will be discontinued, Hurst explained. The pond owner has clearly marked the pond, “no tresspassing,” so that anyone fishing there is doing so strictly on his own, and the pond owner is not responsible for accidents. Gill markers can be returned to Jack Hurst, or to the person so designated on the signs at the pond.

The early turnout was spotty, however. Portions of the teeming Calumet area, particularly Gary, reported a “very heavy” early vote—mare than double the turnout of the 1959 and 1962 primaries. The early voting in such cities as East Gary, Hobart and Crown Point—also in the Calumet—was lighter but was expected io pick up later in the day. Elsewhere around the state, the early turnout ranged from “moderate” to “very light.” But throughout the state, it was sunny and warm — perfect primary weather. Meanwhile, seasoned politicians studied today's balloting for clues as to the temper of the voters in advance of next year’s general election.
