Teen Crime

Continued from race 1 the group had reached inside his car and struck him. Also, he repeated a broken rear-view mirror and damage to the truck and left rear fender. AROUND MIDNIGHT, police wefe called to the 4000 block of College, where a group of teenagers, ager ranging from 13 to 17, wdre causing a disturbance. All seven were sent to JAD for curfew vioFation. Juvenile delinquency is taking a sharp rise in the Negro community of Indianapolis with the steadily rising crime rate of Indian-

apolis’ teenagers. The Juvenile Aid Division reports that so far this year 51% of all crimes committed in Indianapolis were by persons 18 years or younger. These crimes include burglary, robbery, sex crimes, assault with a deadly weapon and auto theft. There are several communitysponsored agencies which think more supervised recreation is needed to help curb this serious problem. One of these is the Senate Avenue YMCA, which is providing a social recreational outlet in the form of a bi-monthly teenage dance. The YMCA wants to stress to parents that their children are safe while they are attending any project at the “Y,” and every possible

step will be taken to protect them and their affairs from the few who believe in rowdyism. THfc YMCA HAS the promise of Captaih Michael Ravanagh of the Juvenile Aid Division that be will give his full cooperation in helping to protect the young people against hoodlums. At the next dance at the YMCA, which is to »e Jield Friday, November 1, the ‘‘Y” is asking the teenagers to cooperate by checking all hats and coats, after the dance has ended not to rush to get wraps but to line up in an orderly manner, and by not lingering in front of the building. Also after the dance the teenagers are urged to go straight home. Persons found going in directions other than toward their homes will be considered violators of the city’s Curfew Law. Again they are urged to respect officers and others in authority who are protection against uncouth and unscrupulous Individuals. They will be asked to dress as neatly as possible to help maintain the standards. Any boys who are dressed in blue jeans or any girls who are wearing slacks will not be admitted.

This is a crucial point accord. He to labor. leaders, who noted that Negroes may be hired later but they will have less seniority than the workers already employed. Thus it will be tne old story of "last to be hired and first to

THE RECORDER ON Tuesd*v sent a telegram to Henry Ford II, progressive young head of the company which has given liberal employment to Negroes since the days of his grandfather, the origin-

al Henry Ford.

“When Ford announced opening of its new plant here, Negroes and other fair-minded Hoosiers rejoiced because of the . fair employment policy for which your for good printing "in a mury,'' ohone The Indianapolis Recordei Printing Co.. MB. 4-1545. You will be pleased and proud of the work.

community.

"Now, to our dismay, we are reliably informed that ‘something went wrong’ and Negro workers have been practically excluded from the original working force which has been recruited. It is reported that less than 20 Negroes have been hired and they assigned to custodial positions. “The pattern is said to be much worse than that in Louisville, a Southern city. “We would appreciate a statement question, The Recorder was press Thursday morning, Oct 31.’’ THERE IS A difference of opinion within the Indianapolis Ford management on the fair employment questino. The Recorder was informed Furthermore, the plant seems to have changed its policy after it arrived in the city. “At first the management promised that the liberal Ford policy would be followed here as elsewhere,” the informant said. “But something happened. Now they say they don’t want to go against the em-

ployment pattern set by other firms in this community. “As a result, Ford’s policy is worse than that of any other company in town. Contrast it with the Ford plant at Louisville, where more than 200 Negroes are employed—some with very good jobs!” One journeyman electrician is
