Georgia Congressmen Fight Juvenile Court Bill
Georgia members of the House unanimously opposed a bill for a new juvenile court in the District of Columbia. Representatives Howard and Tribble challenged language and aims, arguing the law could send many Negro youths to harsh facilities and that white and Black offenders would lack required separation. An amendment for separation failed 63 to 1. The bill’s report says it would grant the court broad discretion and treat children as wards of the nation, not criminals.
