BRADSHAW, REMY EXPLAIN JUVENILE COURT PROGRAMS AS CHECK ON DELINQUENCY

Democratic Candidate Has Plan for Council of Civic Leaders.

Judge Wilfred Bradshaw, candidate for Democratic nomination for the Juvenile Court judgeship, today said his first act, if elected, would be to establish a Juvenile Court Council, com-

posed of civic leaders. He explained the council would co-ordinate activities of social agencies and the court in a concerted campaign against delinquency. Judge Bradshaw was seleted by the Juvenile Court Committee Saturday as its Democratic choice for the judgeship. Plan of Co-ordination

He said his plan would be modeled after the Los Angeles, Cal, plan of co-ordinating councils, Other reforms Judge Bradshaw said he would effect include establishment of a reception room where less serious offenses of children and parents could be ironed out without necessity of filing charges. “All too frequently charges or affidavits are made out in the present Juvenile complaint department before investigations are made. This practice brings into court many cases which could be settled informally.” He said he would foster co-opera~-tion of the court activities with those of the State Employment Service. Linked to Unemployment

“A majority of the child neglect cases involve nonsupport of children due to unemployment. The court should work closely with the employment service in seeking to place stricken parents in jobs.” He said he would refer to Criminal Court all matters of a serious criminal nature. He said it has been customary for Juvenile Court to handle many serious crimes of adults involving children. “Penalties for serious crimes involving children and adults, which can be handled under juvenile delinquency statutes should be handled by Criminal Court where the stronger sentences can be meted out” he said,

Municipal

“Children's Court”

“I would like to think of Juvenile Court as nothing more than a children's court,” he said. “If all the cases which could be handled otherwise were disposed of in Criminal Court the Juvenile Court judge could devote his entire time to children. Judge Bradshaw said he has been interested in child welfare work for many years. He is chairman of the Boys’ State, a youth movement sponsored by the Indiana Department, American Legion. He has been judge in Municipal Court 1 for nearly five years. He is former 12th District Legion commander.

DOCTORS TO SPEAK Dr. Herman Ge Morgan and Dr. Mason Light are to speak at the Indianapolis Medical Society meeting at 8:15 p. m. tomorrow at the Indianapolis Athletic Club.

The Juvenile Court Committee, a citizens group seeking & “new era” in the court's administration, has indorsed William H. Remy for the Republican nomination and Municipal Judge Wilfred Bradshaw for the Democratic nomination for Juvenile Court judge. Interviews in which these candidates express their views on juvenile problems are presented here,

Republican Would Seek to Interpret Meaning of Laws to Youths.

One cause of child delin‘quency is the fundamental misunderstanding of the meaning of laws which juveniles violate, William H. Remy, candidate for the Republican nomination for Juve-

nile Judge, declared today.

He said he would try to correct that misunderstanding if elected. Mr. Remy was indorsed by the Juvenile Court Committee Saturday as its Republican choice for the post. “I have no specific plans concerning Juvenile Court that I wish to comment upon now, except that I would establish a merit system for the “appointment of court employees,” he said.

Many Youthful Violators

“My interest in Juvenile Court began while I was prosecutor. I became aware of the extreme youthfulness of many persons I prosecuted for major crimes. “I thought then, as I think now, that the Juvenile Court was the place to catch these youngsters and | correct them before they began their criminal careers. “I believe the complexity of our civilization has made necessary so many thousands of new regulations and laws that their fundamental reason has been lost or forgotten If the reason were explained to a child why he must not violate the law and less emphasis placed upon his violation, a potential criminal career often might be checked. “A Juvenile Court judge can help unfortunate children by scolding

{less and explaining why groups of | people are happier when living un{der rules and regulations for their protection.”

Overcrowding Blamed

He also blamed housing conditions and overcrowding as another cause of delinquency and crime. According to statistics gathered while he was in office, My. Remy

| said, the poorer sections of the city [dd not necessarily breed the greatest proportion of crime, but the more closely built up areas show a greater tendency to produce delinquents. He said “there is no question but that with its power to prevent, and | control crime, Juvenile Court is | the most powerful couct in the country.” Served as Prosecutor

Mr. Remy served as chief deputy prosecutor under William P. Evans ‘and was appointed prosecutor when Mr. Evans resigned. He was then elected to office and served two terms. Since leaving office he has been practicing law with his father, Charles F. Remy, former Indiana Appellate Court judge. A native of Columbus, Mr. Remy is & World War veteran.

"38 PRIMARIES MAY AFFECT 3 "40 ASPIRANTS

McNutt, Barkley and Earle Face Tests, Capital Observers Say.

(Continued from Page One)

Michelson’s diagnosis that “I have yet to see or hear it suggested that any Democratic Senator or Oongressman will be succeeded by a Republican next November,” Republicans privately do not expect decided gains unless the business recession should settle down into a real depression, While their diagnosticians forecast a gain of 30 to 40 seats in the House, they see now little hope of enlarging the band of 15 in the Senate—if indeed they can hold that number, Only three seats now held by Republicans are at stake. The Demooratic tide still seems to be running in Pennsylvania, where Senator Davis’ Republican seat is at issue. Senator Nye of North Dakota faces trouble. Vermont, where Senator Gibson's term is up, will remain Republican,

Ohio Race Interesting

Of the 28 Democratic seats at issue, eight are in the Solid South The 20 others are well scattered, and include some states once represented for long by Republicans but not now very hopeful ground, Republicans have hopes in Ohio, where the Democratic Senator Bulkley is up for re-election. But partly because of this threat, efforts are being made to induce Senator Donahey, former Governor, and a great Ohio vote-getter, to leave the Senate and enter the gubernatorial primaries against the Democratic incumbent, Governor Davey, An interesting race seems to he promised for Kentucky, Governor Chandler appears to be out for the scalp of Senator Barkley, The Wagner-VanNuys lynching bill, which Senator Barkley supports, will become an issue. There is a possibility that the fight may be averted, however, by appointment of Senator Logan (D, Ky.) to a U, 8S. Circuit Court vacancy, Similarly this measure may become an issue elsewhere, though Republicans seem to have weakened the issue for themselves by voting almost as a unit against the recent resolution to choke off debate with cloture and have a showdown in the Senate,

C. 1. 0. Enters Race

The C. I. O. is an issue in the Pennsylvania Governorship election, Labor is supporting Lieut. Gov, Thomas Kennedy, United Mine Workers secretary-treasurer, for the Democratic nomination. Senator (D. Pa.), may enter the race in an attempt to prevent labor from | Seizing the party machinery, The | Republican nomination is sought | by the veteran Gifford Pinchot, In Indiana, the McNutt organ1zation ruled thumbs down on ane other term for Senator VanNuys as long as two years ago because he bucked the organization. Sam Jackson, Ft. Wavne lawyer is reported to be the choice at this stage, although Alex E, Gordon, a labor leader in the organization, also has entered the race. The veteran Jim Watson, one-time Senate Republican leader, is talking about running. Senator VanNuys was active in the fight against President Roosevelt's Supreme Court Bill and will seek to make that an issue, but the court argument seems to have lost most of its force in Indiana as elsewhere, He may run as an independent if the Democratic convention refuses to renominate him,

Georgin May Have Contest

Two other leaders in the fight against the court plan are up for re-election, Senators McCarran (Nev) and Clark (Mo.). From present indications, Senator Clark will not have opposition for the nomination,

The Labor Party polled 482,459 votes—approximately his plurality—for Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia in the recent New York City mayoralty election.

By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Times Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, Jan. 31—~Germany today begins her sixth under Adolf Hitler, with Europe and the world asking:

War Possibilities Increasing

As Hitler Beg

ins Sixth Year

year “Now what?”

Upon the answer may depend peace or war, Hitler must choose one of three courses.

1. He can go ahead with the wall®——————

steadily is is country, economic-

of autarchy which he building higher about h completely shutting it off ally from the world, or, 2. He can set his legions marching in a war of aggression against his weaker neighbors of central and eastern Europe, or, 3. He, can make up his mind to stop rattling the saber and proceed to collaborate in peace and profit with other nations. The odds are against the third course. Hitler too often and too loudly has demanded colonies and room for expansion. Britain, France and his other neighbors will find it difficult, if not impossible, to meet his demands. Yet if he accepted less it would look like a retreat. And dictators who live by doing the spectacular fear losing both prestige and power once they begin to yield. War of Expansion Feared The chances, therefore, are in favor of courses one and two. For several years Germany has been headed toward self-sufficiency, If she persists in that movement long enough she will “explode,” as former Economic Minister Dr. Hjalmar Schacht repeatedly said she might do. In other words, course No, 2 eventually would become inevitable. That is to say, a war of expansion. Since Hitler rose to power, Germany has been living on her fat. She has been consuming her capital. Without foreign credit, her colossal expenditures on armaments and kindred enterprises are being financed by sheer legerdemain. Until recently this was done under the direction of Dr. Schacht, Again and again he passed his hand over the Nazi hat, pulling out financial and economic rabbits. But all that was, and must remain, simon-pure Jugglery, as nobody knew better than the doctor himself. So Dr. Schacht warned Herr Hitler and handed in his resignation. The job of magician was turned over to Gen. Goering, who

apparently still believes in economic perpetual motion. By closing frontiers to exchange, he seems to think, the tountry can go on borrowing countless domestic billions indefinitely, Thus, day by day, Germany {is being forced along the road of her hated foe, the Soviet Union. In Russia, the capitalist system has been replaced by government ownership and all citizens are serfs of the state. In Germany, the capitalist system has been supplanted by government control so strict that the German people have become mere slaves. Hitler and those about him must know that they are racing against time. What they are trying to do now, most likely, is to make Germany self-contained for long enough to carry her through a contemplated war—a war of expansion. For, judging by present indications, she must choose between revolt at home and foreign adventure,

Two persons were killed and a third injured oritioally in a truckauto collision seven miles north of Marion, , The dead were Gordon B. Stevens, 43, of 626 N.

Mr. Wagner contended the amendment would prevent the work

000,000 program from obtaining through collective bargaining wages which might be higher than ‘prevailing wages.” The amendment, Senator Lodge Jr. (R. Mass.) and supported by President William Green of the American Federation of Labor, was stricken from the Housing Bill by Senate and House conferees, Recalling that he voted for the amendment when it was offered during Senate deliberations on the bill, Mr, Wagner said: “I am so strong for high wages that T did not think of the other damage, Heading for Fascism

introduced by

"If we ever get to the time in the body when we fix all wages, we are heading right into fascism.” Mr, Wagner had the clerk read a letter from Stewart McDonald, Pederal Housing Administrator, in which is was contended that the amendment would “nullify” the program, He declared that it would preclude annual wage agreements, suggested by President Roosevelt as A means of stimulating a building boom, 4 Administration leaders will eombat the amendment by contending it was offered only as a move to “sabotage” the bill, Senator Connally (D, Tex) who directed the filibuster against the antilynching bill, promised Senator Lodge aid in the attempt to restore the amendment, but de. clared there would be no attempt to extend the debate beyond “reasonable” limits,

Pleads for Bigger Navy

Admiral William D. Leahy, Chief of Naval Operations, told the House today that Japan and Great Britain had completely upset the old 5-5-3 naval ration and, unless the United States increased its Navy, its fleet Soon would be “insufficient security against attack from overseas,” Admiral Leahy was the opening witness at hearings on the bill of Chairman Carl Vinson (D. Ga.) for an $800,000,000, 20 per cent increase in the Navy's fighting strength, including three additional battleships and 44 other new combatant vesseis, Adm, Leahy said, however, that the increases proposed, which are in line with the recommendations of President Roosevelt, were insufficient to make the Navy an adequate aggressor in foreign waters. Such a Navy, he pointed out, would require increases “at least three times” as large as those proposed. “A Navy cannot be created on the outbreak of war,” Adm. Leahy said. “The largest ships take at least three years to build.” Even the proposed increases, Adm, Leahy contended, would not create a fleet capable of protecting both coasts at once,
