MONTANA'S ANSWOt

of Montana treat* ungufctod youth de-
Mnquents. It is as follows:
"Juvenile delinquency, on the in
crease nearly everywhere in America,
is declining in America. Why? Montana
Scrapped its juvenile courts two years
ago, insisted upon dealing with all of

Their names, addresses, crimes, par

crime, and most of us cry out, "why

national, state, county or city levels- We
seem to forget that we, the people, could
be as responsible as our elected offici
als- For, the attitude, the spirit, interest
or apathy of the mass of people are re
flected in our courts of law, and we
may be criticizing ourselves when we
protest the lack of law enforcement.
It must be discouraging to sheriffs,
policemen, and other officers to spend
time and risk exposure to violence in
making arrests only to find that the
lqw-hreakers are set free on technicali
ties which a lawyer can always find
And also, even after sufficient evidence
is offered to convict of serious offences
a jury, emotionally swayed by the
pleadings of a lawyer, will fail to con
vict, or ask for leniency- It is strange
that so much sympathy can be offered
Religion In The If ere And Note
There are many aspects to our life
here on earth- In the nature of things
there is a practical side which is very
important There is work to be done
In the very beginning the Divine oom
njvand was that man should earn his
bread by the sweat of his brow. In our
time this area of life includes all of the
technical skills which have added much
to the conveniences and comforts of life.
This side of our earthly life is not to
be despised, but evaluation, use, and de
dication made to come under the spiritu
al elements in our human lives- In the
qlpgical parlance we call this work-
But there is another side to our nature
which we call spiritual. We are souls in
habiting bodies, and this aspect of our
nature calls for activities of the spiritual
qualities of our being-which includes wor
ship, ; prayer and meditation. Jesus,
while living a human life, was active in
working in practical ways to enrich hu
man life, while at the same time un
dergirding His whole life and activi
ties with His high concepts of the value
and dignity of human life- He declared
that He must be about His father's bu
siness, and saying "We must work the
works of Him who sent me " (
He was careful, however, to take time
put for prayer. Mark tells us of His aris
ing early, and going into a quiet place
for Prayer. This is as essential for our
spiritual growth as bread is to sustain

WASHIIfiTON REPORT
COmitESSMAN
JMM* 1. HwyhiU
IGnly days after the heated
arguments and partisan char
-1 ges about the poverty prog
, ram, the House of Represen
' tatives considered and passed
' a large and important bill that
will result in great returns.
The ideas in this Vocational
- Rehabilitation legislation are
not new. In fact, this Federal
| State program has been in
existence since 1020 and has
i earned its title as the origi
, nal anti-poverty program.
r There was not one dissenting
voice against it, a sharp con
' trast over the lengthening list
i of reasons for dissatisfaction
, about the so-called "war on
poverty."
The support of the Voca
tional Rehabilitation program
and its genuine achievements
over the years has been so
general that the mechanism
of its operation have been ov
erlooked, it seems to me, by
those planning assults on
other areas of poverty and,
to a large degree, by the
general public.
For almost a half a cen
tury, the strength of the Vo
cational Rehabilitation effort
has rested cn the cooperative
energies and resources of Fe
deral, State and local govern
ments plus the initiative and
assistance of industry, busi
ness and private group. Since
this has been a joint under
taking, the program has a
chieved a sense cf responsi
bility, an enthusiasm, and a
pride in accomplishment that
has given it increasing impe
tus. .
Today we know that sev
eral hundred thousand per
sons become disabled each
year. When the calamity of
disability strikes, the pros
pect of employment dims,
savings are depleted, and fa
milies impoverished or brok
en apart. Bitterness often fol
lows as the disabled person
finds that his disability does
not meet the rigid require
ment for help under the So
cial Security program. The
opportunity to become pro
ductive again is the great
hope held but by this prog
ram to hundreds of thousands
of disabled or handicapped
people. That hope has been
translated into the reality in
many cases.

on training. More than 83
per cent of these are now
employed and are earning
their own way moving them
from the bleakness of con
tinuing dependence to self
sufficiency.
The humanitarian conse
quences cf this program are
clear enough. But equally im
portant are the economic by
products. Of those assisted
last year, 20 per cent had
been receiving ome form of
public assistance or support.
An even larger number re
ceived support of families,
friends, or private charities.
Time-tested studies how
that for every dollar pent for
vocational rehabilitation, the
Federal Treasury receives
five dollars in income taxes.
Contributions by these peo
ple actively at work in sup
port of States and communi
ties are at least equally great.
The new legislation makes
provisions to increase the
number of persons who may
be given training to a rate
of 200,000 per year and pro
vides new administrative and
financing procedures necessa
ry to meet this goal. We can
have every confidence that
the program will achieve its
mission with the same quiet,
welly-managed effectiveness
that has marked its progress
for the good cf the country
through the year.
One of last week's Congres
sional "spectaculars" was the
conclusion cf the debate in
the Senate on the proposal 1
for a Constitutional amend
ment to allow a State to ap
portion one house of its leg
islature according to factors
ether than population. This
principle has been followed
throughout the history of the
country and was net an issue
until the Supreme Court as
serted its "one man vote"
concept last year. The Court
had assumed new judicial
power in response to charges,
often justified that some
State legislatures had ceased
to be representative.
Widespread confusion has
followed the Court's decision
that both houses in a State
legislature must be selected
only on the basis of popula
tion. To allay that confusion,
a Constitutional amendment
was proposed to restore the
legitimate rights of States
struck down by the Court and
still assure that the argu
ments that led to the Court's
action could not arise again.
The heart of the proposal
provides that the people of
j each State may decide for
themselves if factors other
than population are to be us
