“FIELDS PLEDGES REALISTIC VIEW

Juvenile Delinquent Seen as Individual Problem.

i A realistic attitude toward probation for adolescent law violators was pledged by Harold N. Fields, candidate for the G. O. P. juvenile court nomination, in a speech at the Irfvington Women’s club meeting yesterday, “There are those who demand forceful punishment for all who are found in’ dereliction and there are those who contend there is a little good in every person and the good | can become predominant if we are patient long enough,” he said. “I hold to neither view. I believe juvenile delinquency is an individual problem and it must be met as it arises. o Urges Aid to Delinquents “We should not take a mawkish attitude where it is evident, after long and intensive investigation, that the child can not be safely turned back into the normal channels of society, That is more than unfair. It is downright dangerous,” Mr. Fields sald “On the other hand we also would follow a dangerous policy if we failed to do everything possible to salvage those who have been victims of surroundings or circumstances which they could not control. “We must give careful consideration for example to the effects of the war on the homes and their inhabitants, We already have paid a frightful price in lives and money to win the war. We will pay a still greater price in sociological and { criminal upheavals unless we display the utmost wisdom. Hoffman at Meeting

Joseph O. Hoffman, who is unopposed for the Democratic nomination for juvenile court judge, spoke at the same meeting. He said “to protect the child and its welfare and to correct his faults is“ the chief aim of juvenile court.” “The judge of juvenile court should be slow to condemn and quick to understand, ” Mr. Hoffman | said. Unless he knows something of the child's home life, his environment, his associations and pursuits, he will not be fortified to understand. .For the necessary information about the cases before the court, the judge is forced to depend’ upon his staff of investigators. “The judge, therefore, must select the most competent personriel available and he must be free and unhindered in his selections, omitting politics.”

Paul E. Tombaugh

Speaks to Women

§ United States’ responsibility to the rest of the world cannot be met with indecision and chaotic economic. conditions, warned Paul E.

eee. : — ere

Tombaugh, candidate for the G. O. {of candidacy this spring for more!

P. congressional nomination, at a’ meeting of the Indianapolis League of Women Voters yesterday. #Millions in the world look to us| to set the pattern for the future,” he said. “That means .heavy responsibility which cannot be met by uncertainty in our foreign policy or by inept political bungling at! home. “We must set our house in order now and restore public confidence in the honesty and integrity of public officials.” Mr. Tombaugh declared “it is even more essential that we wipe iF out elements of discord here at ® home and present to other nations a solid front of American friendship.”

Mrs. Fern Norris at n “16th Ward Meeting

Preservation of American freedoms and establishment of a sound economic policy were urged by Mrs. Fern Norris, candidate for the Republican nomination for congress, in a speech at a 16th ward meeting ‘last night. “We are now on the threshold of planning out destiny,” he said. k “Talk is one means but action is another. Therefore as indi- | vidual citizens let us voice our opinions, let us use our freedom of speech and the press toward establishment of ‘a sound policy and economic stability for all and thus preserve our freedoms for later generations.”

{-IN-20 VOTERS SEEKS OFFICE

30,000- 35,000 Candidates File for Political Jobs.

By JAMES E. WALTERS United Press Writer - One of every 15 or 20 Hoosiers who vote at the May 7 primary will be a candidate for office. In 1944, some 440,000 Hoosiers cast ballots in the May nominating primary. In 1942, the number was around 600,000. - The United Press estimated that between 30,000 and 35,000 aspirants to public office or political position filed declarations

than 21,000 berths. If the 1942 vote is repeated or ap-|

proximated this time, about every |

{15th person in line at the polling

| booths will find his own name on a

ballot. : Veterans Swell Total | Should the 1944 total be more (nearly comparable to the 1946 vote, ‘the ratio will be about one out of Observers believe returning | servicemen will swell the vote total closér to the 1942 statistics. | The great bulk of candidates will those seeking party precinct |committeeman posts. Roughly 8000 committeemen will be elected in the state's 4000 precincts, half of them Republican and half Democratic. Another 3000 or so will be elected delegates to. state party conventions. Candidates to be nominated total upward of 12,100—with nearly

‘| half of those seeking positions on

township advisory boards. More than 2000 hope to be on the ballot next fall in races for 1013 township trustee jobs. Some 1300 persons will be nominated for places -on county councils and nearly 400 for county commissioner, and so down the line —to—23 congressional nominees. Some Unopposed A conservative estimate would be that more than one and less than two persons, on the average, seek each of the 21,000 nominations and primary elective berths, This would take into consideration the fact some candidates are unopposed and others have considerably more than one rival. The 1l-out-of-15-0r-20 ratio assumes all candidates will go to the lls. Political observers have no reports than any of them will shy away from voting booths May 7.
