Delinquency Is
On Decline In
.
Greensboro
This year the first drop in ;|l
juvenile delinquency in Greens- 5
boro since- the beginning of a
steady upclimb in 1940 was reported
by Judge W. M. York,
of the juvenile commission, in j
his annual release of court sta
tistics.
The net decrease in cases of :
delinquency was 41. Of the ??
318 delinquency cases coming
before the court involving 269 I
children, 9 7 were Negro boys 1
and 56 were Negro girls.
Accounting for the greatest |
number of delinquencies was f
larceny, while truancy was second
affense most committed. |
Malicious damage to property |j
and disorderly conduct cases al- 1
so claimed large numbers of the I
delinquencies, which were clas- *'
N sified further into cases of run-..aways,
sex offenses, breaking
aHf<p-3nterlng, assault and hatterj
|6/unr.uliness and disobedience,
trespassing, failure to
comply, violation of a city ordinance,
whisky, arson, gambling,
begging .engaging in affray,
tampering with a motor
vehicle and violating public
laws.
LAYOFFS TO BE
GOVERNED BY
INDUSTRIAL RECORD
When personnel cuts become
necessary, the civil service commission
determined that the
order in which federal workers
will he laid off be based on the
Tights of "career" employees,
and war veterans, as well as
efficiency and length of Bervlce. .
This action is a result of uniform
application of civil service '
rules throughout the govern- '
ment required by the Starnes- i
Scrugham veterans preference I
act of 1944, rather than belief
that demobilization of federal
employees is imminent because '
of encouraging war develop
~ments.
The commission asked feder- 1
al workers, to stick at their jobs
as long as needed, and said <
that they will get due notice j
when reductions have to be j
made.
These reductions have no
connection with termination ot the
war, the commission said, (
but might be caused by a de- (
crease in appropriations, com- ^
pletion of a project, reorganization
of an agency ,or in or- '
der to provide jobs for return- '
ing veterans entitled by law to i
re-employment. ;
Layoffs will be made strictly (
' on the basis of Indiyldual rec- <
ords, apparently preventing the ]
army, navy, or other war agen- ]
I cles from making arbitrary ^
group reductions when peace ]
comes. (

Draft Quotas
tfot To Be
Deduced
According to Maj. Gen.
Lewis B. Hcrshey, national
selective service director, national
draft quotas probably
will not be reduced when the
war in Europe ends.
"Draft quotas now are very
low," he said, "and it is unlikely
the end of the European
war will result in further
reduction. The navy still will
need men for Its Pacific war,
and the anny will continue to
need replacements for men
who have had long service.
