THE, SOUTHERN ISRAELITE
As We Were Saying
■ " • By ROBERT E. SEGAL
(A Seven Arts f eature)
When plans for the 1970 White
House Conference On Children
And Youth are formula/ted soon,
a number of developments of the
present decade will show Influ
ence on the conference managers.
Most important of such factors
probably will be the scars—phy
sical, mental, and psychlogioal—
inflicted on childien by relentless
warfare and threats of further
wars. Boys and girls hearing
constantly of bombing, with ci
vilians suffering alongside mili
tary men, enter adolescence and
adulthood deeply touched by
their elders’ inability to stop kill
ing and to effect peace. Hunger,
unemployment, racial hatred,
drug addiction, disease, and pa
rental neglect are old factors up
dated. They, too, will be much in
the mind of the planners.
The theme of the 1960 White
House Conference was “to pro
mote opportunities for children
and youth to realise their full
potential for a creative life

in freedom and dignity.” At
close of the sessions that drew
well over 7000 people to Wash
ington, the hope was expressed
that “Children Of The World”
would be the theme 10 years
later.
It still may be; but It is pre
sumptuous of Americans to think
that we haven’t a large crop of
problems of our own with which
to deal. Turning now to these
domestic issues, we find at least
two hopeful influences—the U.S.
Supreme Court’s ruling that ju
venile court proceedings are
criminals trials, to be conducted
under procedures that meet con
stitutional standards of due pro
cess of law; and the blueprint
presented by President Johnson
recently for improvement in the
lot of our children and youth.
When Justice Abe Fortas de
clared in his important opinion
of May 15 that neither the “14th
Amendment nor the Bill of Rights
is for adults only,” when he
pointed out that under our con
stitution, the condition of being
a boy does not justify a kanga
roo court, he shouldered out the
long - accepted parens patriae
concept, making it clear that
from this time on, an American

youngster in trouble with the
law must have all the safeguards
of the Bill of Rights. Some
lawyers and jurists who believe
that the 68-year-old American
juvenile court system was guar
antee enough balked ait the
ruling; but for the most part, the
8 to 1 decision was accepted en
thusiastically.
For children in serious trouble,
then, the Supreme Court ruling
offers considerable hope. And in
asmuch as juvenile courts, des
pite herculean efforts made by
some jurists, have provided only
a partial answer (If not the
wrong answer) tc juvenile way
wardness, the new, audacious
move by the Supreme Court may
provide the first step in funda
mental improvement.

Turning from the judiciary to
the executive, we should note—■
in thinking of the White House
Conference of 1970 — President
Johnson’s 12-point program out
lined in a special message to
Congress in May. The Chief
Executive pointed out that al
though the federal government’s
investment of 11billion dol
lars in America's children and
youth in 1968 is three times the
amount the U. S. was spending
eight years ago, the nation must
meet the educational, health and
welfare needs of its young.
His 12-point program embraced
an important extension of tfie
Head Start project with a spec
ial effort to reach cut to younger
children, the training of special
ists to deal with problems of
children and youth, more atten
tion to the welfare needs of chil
dren in poor families, a hike in
Social Security payments for
children whose support has been
cut off by the death, disability
or retirement of parents, more
money for early diagnosis of chil
dren with handicaps, a massive
attack on mental retardation, en
richment of summer programs.
The President’s bill of particu
lars underscored heavily the
need to create child and parent
centers for the poor. He asked
for an oper. door through which
both generations could pass sim
ultaneously to obtain the tender
care of people well trained lo
meet job needs and allied prob
lems. His proposals also empha
sized the necessity of nipping
youth delinquency and increas
ing the chance for all young peo
ple to lead productive lives.
A nation whose under-25-year-
old population is nearly half of
its entirety dare not seek ex
cuses to sidestep the challenges
presented to society by neglected
youth, troubled youth, rebellious
youth, mistreated youth, and mis
guided vouth. Boasting of our re
sources and our wealth and con
stantly telling the world how
highly we regard the individual,
we must knuckle down to pro
viding all reasonable aid to the
oncoming generation.
