HOW ONE BIG CITY TAMED
75 WILD TEEN-AGE GANGS
BY RICEARD KLEINER
NFA Staff Correspondent
CLEVELAND— (AP) — Back
in the '3os, respectable residents of
much of Cleveland were screaming
{or protection from organized
teen-age gangsters. Today, how
ever, the juvenile gang problem
i practicall non - existent and
(leveland boasts that it is the
cafest city in the nation for chil
dren to grow up in.
“1t was in 1937—a year after the
Cleveland Welfarc Fourdation
said that one section of the city
had the highest juvenile’ delin
quency rate in the nation — that
comething was done about it.
Harold E. Burton, now a U. 8.
Supreme Court Justice, was then
mavor of Cleveland, He called in
Capt. Arthur Roth, of the police
department and told him to start
a Juvenile Bureau and clean up
the gang menace.
noth, who had done some work
with the schools as & safety lec
turer, had some pretty strong —
and radical—ideas about handling
tough kids. For one thing, he be
lieved that “there is no such thing
as a bad boy.” Burton listened,
told him to go ahead, do anything
he wanted.
® &® =N
Roth dressed himself in old
es, forgot to shave, moved
.. a tough sectiou and let it be
known that he was a paroled con
vict—and a pretty nasty one, at
that.
Under his assumed identity,
Roth lived in a crummy dive for
90 days. He made a good start,
py infiltrating into existing gangs,
but the whole job took three years
to complete.
His first step was to win the
hoodiums® confidence. This was
fairly easy, mainly because of his
assumed personality and the
knowledge of crime and criminals
which he, of course, had at his
finger-tips.
The next step was tougher. He
besan a trickle of anti-crooked
ness propaganda. Cautiously, he
built it into a steady stream.
Gradually, he softened them up
and, as a climax, he threw a
luncheon for 65 of the toughest
kid gangsters.
,* o »
It was quite a party. Roth told
them he was a cop. There was al
most a riot, with “some of them
angrily starting for him. But he
faced them down and, in an epic
Dutch-uncle talk, he put his ideas
across.
Today, Roth, the original “one
man Juvenile Bureau,” has a staff
of 95 to help him, plus moral and
financial aid from - civic-minded
individuals, firms, churches and
youth associations. .
Now, when a complaint of ju
venile crime comes in, the Bureau
men swoop down on the area.
Owners of what Roth calls “risk
factors” — places that encourage
misconduct, like beer parlors, sa
loons and pool rooms — are
checked. If they’ve been up to any
illegal shenanigans, they’re given
a sharp warning. One more of
fense and the police move in.
And the owners of “construc
time factors” — potential helpful
places like playgrounds, social
meeting halls and vacant lots —
are alse checked. They’re usually
easily persuaded to open them to
the childhen for play. Aid from
schools, churches and Boy Scout
leaders is obtained. Often, if
there is no Boy or Gijrl Scout
troop in the neighborhood, one is
formed. .
In the meantime, possible ju
venile offenders are spotted and
shadowed. The leaders are talked
to, like this: “You ecan go straight
and have fun, or you can make
trouble and get trouble.” They us

‘ually get the point.
But complaints, these days, are
relatively few. Roth attributes
imost of the change to two eclub
groups he has formed. The “Im
provement Club” of older boys is
encouraged to improve their
neighborhoods. They gang up now
only to get brooms, rakes and
shovels and clean up run-down
spots. They help littla kids, shep
h‘erding them past dangerous traf
fic spots, they run errands and
they make themselves generally
“helpful.
Roth also directed the one-time
toughies’ energies Into profitable
channels by organizing an indus
try. The boys made wooden Kkit
chenware, ash trays and other
gadgets which they sold success
fully.
s i &
The second of the Roth-organ
ized groups is the Junior Police
Service Club, for youngsters from
9 to 16. They wear JP caps, shirts
and shiny badges. Like the older
club, they keep their neighbor
hoods spick and span anc help
teach traffic safety.
They have organized parties,
which they appear to enjoy. These
are better for them — and for
Cleveland — than the parties the
kids used to put on in the back
rooms of dingy dives.
Last year, with the cooperation
of Bill Veeck and the Cleveland
Indians’ ball club, the Bureau took
300,000 youngsters to see baseball
games. In the fall, Arthur
(Mickey) Mcßride and his Cleve
land Browns pro football team
entertained 50,000 kids.
Roth doesn’t see this as just en
tertainment for the youngsters.
“What it means to me,” he ex
plains, “is that it took 350,000 kids
off the streets for an average of
five hours apiece. That makes a
total of 1,750,000 kid-hours of po
tential mischief turned to good
use.”

Rooftops Lose Their Romance
In French Housing Shorfage
BY ROSETTE HARGROVE
NEA Staff Correspondent
PARIS.— (NEA) —France’s top
post-war problem is still her cru
cial housing shortage. She is short
5,000,000 homies and the several
billion francs needed to build
them.
Five years after the war the
problenr remains as the night
mare of politicians and the beset
ting worry of thousands of French
men, To it sociologists trace:
1. The increase of social evils
leading with juvenile delinquency.
2. The menace to the nation’s
health due to overcrowding.
3. The disruption of marriages
which end in divorce.
Contrary to popular belief, the
second world war destroyed more
homes than the previous one. Of a
total of 12,000,000 “hearths” which
represented France’s housing cap
ital in 1939, 560,000 were com
pletely destroyed and 540,000 bad
ly damaged. And during 1945-1949
only 90,000 homes were built, as
against 600,000 in England,
Since liberation, each of
France’s successive governments
has been faced with this head
ache. Each mapped out a project
which it was never given time to
carry through.
. The latest project covers the
building of 240,000 homes yearly
over a period of 50 years, which
experts consider is short by 60,000
homes a year.
The shortage of building ma
terials, a major cause for delay
until 1948, no longer exists. “In
sufficient credits” is the new cry
of the building trade. “Too much
red tape,” says the individual
houseowner, who would take mat
ters in his own hands, but can’t
get a mortgage loan the way he
could in America.
In Paris, the romance of the
rooftops has diminished for the
people who have to live beneath
them.
Any Paris architect or apart
ment house owner will tell you
that most of those beautiful old
roofs are badly in need of repair.
This also contributes to the
housing shortage. The “garret”
floor in many buildings could have
afforded a temporary shelter to
homeless people until such time
as the building project got under
way, provided, mnaturally, that
they were weather-proof,, Which
they are not.
There is a tragi-comric side to
house-hunting in France and
more especially in Paris. For the
well-to-do citizen, the situation is
acute but not insoluble. It is
merely a question of “key money”
(it is called doorstep money in
French), - illegal, but practiced
every day.
But for Jean Dupont it is al
most hopeless, If he is an optimist
he will try and work through the
official “Housing Office.” ?
The red tape there, however,
has defeated all but a small num
ber of people who have friends in
high quarters,
With the rental law under
which all 1939 rents are to be pro
gressively raised seven times their
original rate, it is hoped that
many “insufficiently occupied”
apartments will have to be vacat
ed.
Even so, rents in France and
especially in Paris are still away
below the levels in other coun
tries. There are many people to
day who spend more on cigarettes
than on rent. The adjustment now
in progress will change this situa
tion.

) Years Of Road Building In Mexico
Revolutionizes Life For 220,000
By NEA Foreign Service
TEPIC, Mexico— (NEA) —Five
years ago this mountainous state
of Nayarit on the central part of
the west coast had about nine
miles of crude roads. Today it has
65 miles of first-class paved hig
ways in a 325-mile road net-work,
just completed.
Almost overnight the astonished
220,000 inhabitants find them
selves in an industrial, agricultural
and social revolution, almost un
paralleled in modern times — as
a result of the new road system,
Here are the amazing figures:
Land under cultivation has been
increased 25 per cent. Corn pro
duction has increased 570 per cent
to 178,000 tons. This year will see
an estimated $12,000 000 fruit crop,
which before the new roads was
less than one-third of that. Before,
Nayarit barely produced enough
rice for its own population. Today
the value of its exported rice crop
is expected to be $98,000,000.
The new roads have permitted
the opening of new lands, the easy
export of all surplus commodities,
the import of all new kinds of
farm equipment and machinery,
and a wholesale opening up of this
rich tegrribyy.. - oo
Following on the heels of this
agricultural prosperity have been
many social gains. Schools have
mushroemed all over. Every rural
community of 100 or more per
sons has its own “escuela.” Hospi
tals and dispensaries, staffed by
able nurses and doctors, are quick
ly licking the diseases among the
people which up until now have
been regarded as a necessary evil
of living. Crime has been reduced
of a new low and alcoholism is
disappearing.
A few years ago a movie thea
ter was something no one in Nay
arit was sure existed. Today there
are many of them, The women are

WASHINGTON— (AP) =Fruit
on ornamental plants eum be a
‘nuisance. Among these afe the
horse chesnut, catalpa, Eurepean
ash, honey locust and eastern pop
lar. Now te U. B. Bureau of
Plant industry says it has sprays
which can prevent these puants
from fruiting.
The bureau hopes also that
such sprays may be used to limit
the output on fruit producin%
plants to avoid the expense o
thinning. In some crops, better
fruit is produced if less is allow
ed to mature on one plant.
The fruit-retarding sprays are
being developed by L. P, Batjer,
who did much of the work on the
sprays which now help prevent
losses of fruit which might other
wise fall off the prants.
