Senate Report Warns Juvenile Delinquency Surges Nationwide
A Senate judiciary subcommittee report from Washington on March 11 says juvenile delinquency is mounting at a disgraceful rate. It urges drastic federal and local action, better schools, housing, care for dependent children, mental health, and an immediate law to ban interstate transportation of obscene material. The study covers 1953–54 and projects rising court involvement, with emphasis on youth crimes, sex activities, and drug issues, warning of 1.7 billion youths in trouble by 1960 if unchecked.

Tax Cut Compromise Criticized By Treasury Chief
Treasury Secretary George M. Humphrey denounced a Senate Democratic tax cut compromise as irresponsible and silly. House Speaker Sam Rayburn indicated Democrats may support the proposal if passed by the Senate and House leadership would consider it seriously. The plan would cut income taxes and repeal last year’s business tax relief, while Humphrey urged repeal of loopholes in the 1944 tax law on business expense deductions. Republican leaders said the Eisenhower administration opposes the Democratic compromise and vowed to resist it.
