_ By ARTHUR WRIGHT
The American Legion's new htional commander ° predicted here today that Indianapolis would be-
‘come the world center of war vet-| i
erans’ activities. Roane Waring, Tennessee's first national commander, Legion posts established in all sections - of the globe at the close of
passage of the bill pending in congress which would allow veterans of the present war to’ join the Legion. Comm. Waring took time . out from. preparations for a conference

Younger veterans of world war II are to be accepted on “a common ground” with those from the last war, ‘Waring ‘promised.

said, pointing to action taken at the national convention in Kansas Clty, ... Continuation of ‘War He said it was the Legion’s duty to accept the younger veterans “because they are fighting for the same principles for which we fought —this is only the continuation of world war 1.” y He . predicted that the “new blood” in the Legion would extend the - life of the veterans’ group “several generations.” ‘Supporting the commander’s con“common ground”
were these figures: Veterans from the. first world war serving in world war II number “at least” 100,000; “several hundred thousand” . sons of Legionnaires are in the present fight. Vi Waring voiced the common purpose of the Legion in this war: “It’s our job to win it—and win 5 as quickly as possible.”
+ Leaves Strategy to Others’ Fats that,” he said, “well talk about . the kind of peace to be made—but we know now we'll insist on a readjustment that will not let a thing like {his happen again.” : Regarding the Legion’s attitude toward a second front, Waring said “it’s not within the Legion's province to be the strategists in this war.” He said he “most certainly” favored. a Second front but as to “when, where and how it is to be, is not for us to say” He voiced “extreme confidence” in the generals of the war.

Joseph J. Daniels, district chaff man; Edwin ' Steers, committee treasurer;: Charles W. Jewett, Sidney S. Miller and "Will H. Remy.
Calls for Economy
Mr. Ostrom said: that the party would have suffiéient funds to meet campaign expenses, but that every care must be exércised in expends itures. “The demends of the war effort make economy imperative,” he said. “We regard it as a patriotic duty to raise as little money as is necessary to inform the voters of: the campaign issues in order that the dollars thus saved may. be available for investment in war bonds.”

Delinquency Increases Due
To War, Offical Explains
As happened during the last war, juvenile delinquency is increasing and adult crime decreasing, Sanford Bates, president of the American Parole association, reported here today. He ‘said that the increase in delinquen among the children in the 13 and 14-year-o}
was particularly marked groups. address the opening session of the annual meeting of the Indiana
-| Council: on Crime and delinquency
at the Lincoln hotel last night. Lists Delinquency. Causes
He gave these reasons for the increase in delinquency among minors . 1. Parents are working harder and have less time for their children. ’ 2. Children ‘hear talk of violence and killing by adults; it makes them more apt to break rules. 3. Many peacetime recreation projects have been dropped, thus giving children more unsupervised leisure time. He said that, judging by the experience in England, juvenile delinquency could be expected to increase further with blackouts, if they ever have to be put into effect permanently. “The” decrease in adult crime, He said, is ‘ due. to adults’ generally being kept exceptionally busy, both
{in ‘private industry and in the
armed forces. Parolees’ Record Good
He reported That the parolees released in New York state to go into the armed forces had made a very good record. Out of 1000 such men, he said,
only one has gone astray—he com-
mitted a burglary. Capt. William Krieg of the state selective service headquarters told council ‘members of a similar program now in. operation in Indiana whereby- certain types of prison inmates are being released so that they can be inducted into the armed forces. In his talk on “The Prison Role in Wartime,” Mr. Bates pointed out that parole supervision during wartime must always, keep in mind its duty ‘to the country. ' “Helping parolees to become more valuable contributors in the - war effort must go hand in hand with a realistic observation of the offend-
ers,” he said.
He praised a bill drawn up by the council to modernize the state's parole system.

|CRIME CONTROL BILL APPROVED
Modernising. of Procedure Urged by State Council On Delinquency. By EARL RICHERT
A comprehensive. crime control
bill, designed to modernize procedures in dealing with convicted criminals in Indiana, was approved by the Indiana council on crime and
the Hotel Lincoln today. “The bill, drawn by the council's
lexecutive board, is to be. introduced
at the next session of the legisla~ ture. It would: . 1, Create in the state welfare de-
parole board of three members, to
' |be selected under the merit system.
All powers and duties with respect to paroles now vested in the boards of trustees of the penal institutions would be transferred to this board.
Changes Felony Code 2.- Provide a new felony code for
cept those of death and for life imprisonment, indeterminate . with minimum .and maximum terms. 3. Place in county welfare depart. ments the responsibility of providing compeient and adequate probation services to the courts and make the state welfare department responsible for supervising such services, It would abolish the present probation commission (of which Mrs. Margaret Afflis, prominent Democratic party leader is the fulltime paid secretary) and assign its duties to the state welfare department. 4. Make available to judges of all criminal courts the results of the probation investigation on each convicted offender and give to the courts broad discretion in the use of probation,
Proposes $5500 Top Salary
The bill proposes a salary range of ‘$4500 to $5500. for the members of the parole board. The new parole board would be empowered to grant or withhold parole in cases of all felony prisoners who had servied the minimum terms of their sentences. The bill would not affect the rights and powers of the institutional boards of trustees to operate the institutions nor would it affect the powers of the state commission on clemency or the power of the governor to rant executive clemency. The proposed felony code would create three general groups of sentences. The least serious felony offenses would be p ble with, senterices of ‘six months-fo 10 ‘years; the more serious one, year to 20 years, and the most ous, short of those for which life sentences are provided, three years to 50 years and five years to 50 years. '
Eliminates Felony Fines
. The bill would simplify the provisions for the loss of citizenship
fenders during the period they are under sentence and restoring their citizenship rights whenever the sentences expire or are terminated. The bill would eliminate fines for practically all felony offenses. Only cases in which judges could not grant probation, under the bill, would be those involving treason, murder, kidnaping, ripe and arson in the first degree, Council members said that the procedure proposed by the bill would make possible uniform handling of convicted criminals by one parole board. 4
Educators in Council
The council is composed of persons interested in . problems of crime and delinquency. Dr. Fran cis ‘M. Vreeland of Greencastle is president and Prof. Louis Evans of Indiana university is secretary. Dr: Edwin H. Sutherland of Indiana university, head of a committee on standards and training submitted the following recommendations of his committee to the council: 1. That state employee legislation be amended and enacted to establish the principles of the eight-hour working day and six-day week. 2. That the state personnel board, state budget committee and '43 legislature give ‘adequate attention to
