Patchwork Of Juvenile Laws In Maryland urged reforms
The Sobeloff Commission called Maryland’s six sets of juvenile court laws a patchwork and urged a comprehensive system for ages 8 to 18. It cited 21 of 1,000 youths 8 to 17 delinquent, above the national 0.7 rate, partly due to broader court use and better records. Recommendations include a circuit judge for juvenile matters and restricting training school placement for under 10 when better facilities exist.

Little Fat To Trim For Taxes Cut

He notes only a small amount of fat can be trimmed from military outlays, warning a 10 billion cut could leave little defense. House Appropriations Chairman Taber launches Operation Economy to trim spending, aims for a 10 billion cut, and doubts a Truman-era budget revision will come.
