Laws for Youthful Offenders
Now Being Tried in New York
Governor Thomas E. Dewey Pushes Enactment
Of Bills To Handle State's Transgressors
By Henry Matteo
United Press Staff Correspondent
ALBANY, N. Y. (UP) New York State's "slow and careful
experiment" in the handling of youthful transgressor's believed
to be without precedent anywhere in the nation, is attracting the
interest of leading crime authorities.
Under a series of bills recently enacted into law by Gov. Thomas
E. Dewey, deserving youths be-f
tween 16 and 19 may escape
criminal charges and conviction
after indictment if the courts
so determine.
The bills were drafted after. a
study by a joint legislative com
mittee with the co-operation of
the Governor's counsel and offi
cials associated with juvenile de
linquency. Said Senator Fred Young,
sponsor of the measures :
"The bills are intended only
to be a slow and careful experi
ment. Everyone is keeping an
open mind on the subject. We in
tend to change them next year
if necessary and will work on
this matter during the summer
in order to arrive at a definite
and workable procedure through
out the state.

Dean Interprets Reports
On Length of Navy Terms
By Sara Yokley
Dean F. F. Bradshaw, issuing a clarifying statement on recent
Navy department reports, announced yesterday the semester

semesters in school, depending on the degree of their present ad

Bond Sales
Above Quota
Four Day Drive
Collects 5052
The total amount of bonds and
stamps sold in the Carolina war
bond drive reached $5,052 yes
terday. The goal for the drive
was $1,800, the price of a field
ambulance, but enough money
has been raised to buy two am
bulances and 18 Garand rifles, at
$80 each.
Mr. W. A. Thompson, presi
dent of the Chapel Hill bank, an
nounced that student bond and
stamp purchases since last Sep
tember amounted to approxi
mately $18,000, exclusive of the
war bond drive.
Daily Sales
Sales on Wednesday reached
$2,100, on Thursday $721, Fri
day $1,393 and on Saturday $838.
The booth at the YMCA, kept by
volunteer coed salesgirls, was not
open Saturday, but a booth in the
Carolina theatre yesterday re
sulted in the sale of over $400 in
bonds and stamps.
The only investments made by
organizations was the Phi Delta
Theta purchase of over $1,100 in
bonds and the Debate Council
purchase of over $1,200. It is ex
pected that more organizations
will invest their surpluses in
bonds before the end of the
school year.

Kattsoff Upholds Plans
For World Federation
By Gloria Caplan
Dr. Louis O. Kattsoff, of the philosophy department, represent
ing Carolina at an International Relations club faculty panel at
Duke university Friday,, was
when he upheld the cause of a world state.
Tackling the problem of the post-war world on the Duke ros
trum were Dr. Robert von Beckerath, of the Duke political
science
and economics demart-
ments; Dr. F. W. Klontz, of the
Wake Forest history depart
ment ; Dr. A. S. Link, of the State
College history department; Dr.
Manchester, of the Duke history
department, and Dr. Kattsoff.
Student IRC members from
the four colleges attended the
panel.
Global Organization
All six professors agreed on
the necessity of a global organ
ization to prevent future wars.
Crux of the discussion hinged on
the amount of sovereignty neces
sary for each state to sacrifice to
the union, and the form the or
ganization would take.
Proposing a "provisional fed
eration," Dr. von Beckerath
spoke for a gradual evolution to-
vancement. This permits at least
seven quarters of University
work to all who have passed re
quired work.
Academic Work
"Semesters will probably be
measured by academic work com
pleted rather than by calendar
months," said Bradshaw.
Reserves who have completed
one or two quarters work will
have four more semesters ; those
who have finished three, four or
five quarters work will be allowed
to remain here for three more
semesters; reserves who have
completed six, seven or eight
quarters work can stay in school
two more semesters, while those
who have done 9, 10 or 11 quar
ters work must leave after one
semester.
"This is our interpretation of
the table of semesters," said
Bradshaw. "We are writing the
Navy department for approval or
corrections."
Continue Curriculum
Under the new Navy College
Training Program students who
are naval reservists are expect
ed to continue in general the
same curriculum they would have
carried if they had not been call
ed to active duty. The only
courses reserves are required to
take are math, physics and swim
ming. The Navy department release
stated that "only first terms of
appropriate new fully prescribed
V-12 curriculum need be offered
in the 16 week term beginning
July 1, but it is hoped that col
leges will offer additional pre
scribed Navy courses for more
advanced students who desire
them."
Registration
Registration of V-l, V-7, Ma
rine and NROTC reservists is
being held to find out what they
want to take, so that the Univer
sity academic program can be

ward the world state, citing the
nationalistic force as too strong
to transcend in setting up a world
state. "Even Russia," he said,
"who is committed in theory to
an international ideal, is highly
nationalistic."
Dr. Kattsoff
Ribbed as idealistic, Dr. Katt
soff railed at "unimaginative his
torians" (two of whom were on
the panel) who met new ideas
with "There's nothing in history
to prove we can go there, and
there's nothing in history to
prove we'll get there, if we start
to go there."

of his world state, said represen
