TIMES-HERALD IN WACO UP 1956-20 PAGES -United Press Waco AP- Associated Pram Waco Times Herald Washington Bureau Times-Herald Austin Bureau Death Toll Hits 153 In Northeast Storm FBI CHIEF HITS LACK OF CHILD-TRAINING Hoover Blames Parents WASHINGTON-UP-FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover had harsh words Tuesday for "softheaded" parents who fail to teach their children "respect for God, the law, and others." Hoover blamed them for the nation's postwar crime wave which he feels "is essentially a youth problem." Children need playgrounds, youth agencies, and like the Boy Scouts, Hoover told Appropriations subcommittee. organizations, But "no one of these can take the place of the mother and father conscious of their responsibility inculcate in youth respect for God, law, and others." "That is what is lacking today," he said. The nation's chief law enforcement officer told the subcommittee in closed testimony published Monday night while the postwar crime wave has shown signs of slacking off slightly, it still is critical, particularly among youths. He figures showing an estimated 2,255,000 major crimes were committed in 1955 -half of one per cent less than in 1954.
This was the first drop since 1947. But he noted that during the first half of last year, for which records are complete, a major crime was committed every 13.9 seconds. Every 4.2 minutes there was a crime of murder, manslaughter, rape or assault with intent to kill. Hoover termed the cost of crime "startling." He said it cost $20 billion a year, or an average of $477 for every family in the nation. Although only 16 per cent of those arrested in 1954 were under 21, he said, that age group acounted for 51 per cent of all crimes against property that year.
Hoover was particularly bitter about juvenile crime and what he called the failure of parents to exercise their responsibility. He said parents should be held legally and financially, responsible for misdeeds of their children. In communities where this has been adopted, he said juvenile delinquency has decreased. "Too often," he said, parents "resent and reproach police officer who brings their child home after he has engaged in "It is that kind of softheadedness which contributes to delinquenry," the FBI chief declared. He added that if fathers and mothers "made the boy and girl work and have chores to do, they wouldn't have time to get into Hoover said FBI agents would "rather contend" with an adult criminal in a gun battle or other contact than with teenagers or youths in their early twenties.
Youthful criminals, he said, "have little fear, they are frequently users of narcotics, and there is a certain braggadicio and false bravado about them that the older criminal doesn't have." Hoover also said crime has been increasing at a rate faster than the rise in population. The population has gone up 7 per cent since 1950 while crime has increased 26.7 per cent, he said. On an average day, he recounted, 35 persons murdered or victims of manslaughter, 51 women are raped. 167 people are robbed, 1,405 homes are burglarized and 607 autos are stolen.

Security Geopolitics is the science that explains why the United States must, if it can, make sure that four portions of the earth remain in friendly hands. Col. Robert G. Haines, U. S.
Army, listed the four key territories as Western Europe, the Middie East, Japan and South and Southeast Asia. In his discussion Tuesday mornling of geopolitics before the National Resources Conference, Colonel Haines presented the various theories of that science, dating from the 1700s, and 'said that airpower has now brought new concepts of the world struggle for space. Because of airpower, the Arctic is now seen by top authorities as the most vital area in defense of North America, since airline disstances across the top of the world are shorter than the routes from least or west. "The Soviet Union is ahead of the United States in polar development in many ways," Colonel Haines pointed out. Russians, a million or more, live and work in several large cities north of the Arctic Circle, while there is no city of any importance north of the Arctic Circle on our side of the globe, he said.

Know. land predicted after a White House conference Tuesday that President Eisenhower will veto the Senatepassed farm bill unless it is "modified" by a Senate House confer ence committee. Knowland (R-Calif.) and other GOP legislative leaders discussed the farm bill with Mr. Eisenhower at their weekly legislative conference Tuesday. Senate Democrats meanwhile boasted that they had won a "back' door" victory over the administration in the fight over high price supports in the farm measure.
Knowland said that "everyone, including the President' expressed hope at the White House meeting that the conference committee "may modify the bill." "It is unworkable in its present form," said Knowland. "I don't see how, if the bill was left in its present form, the President could sign it." Administration forces until Monday night had been successful in beating back Democratic efforts to replace flexible price supports with high rigid ones. But Democrats at the last minute pushed through a farm bill amendment designed to lift sharply the present support price floor of 75 per cent of parity for corn, cotton and wheat. The Senate then went on to pass, 93-2, an omnibus farm bill that would increase farmers' electionyear income hundreds of millions of dollars. Major provisions of the legislation call for mandatory participation by farmers in a $1.2 billion soil bank, modified flexible price supports, continuance of dual parity, an increase in dairy price supports and two-price programs for rice and wheat.
The measure now goes to the House which last year approved rigid price supports at 90 per cent of parity for corn, cotton, peanuts, rice and wheat.

School Board Ready to Sell $2 Million Bonds Waco school board will sell million in school bonds Wednesday at 1 p. m. at the school administration building, North Thirty -fifth Street and Waco Drive. The board will take bids on the interest rate. Under present market conditions, local brokers say the bids probably will be around 2.75 per cent.
The lower the interest rate bid, the better for schools. Business Manager J. E. Crews said he has received 75 or 80 inquiries on the 20-year bonds but he expects only 10 or 12 bids since investment houses customarily form syndicates to bid on large bond issues. At the last school bond sale in May, 1953, eight bids were received from syndicates composed of about a dozen companies each.
That year, the schools sold $3 million in school bonds at an effective interest rate of 3.115. The board is holding a third of the' $3 million bond issue voted last November to be sold after the first $2 million is spent. The board figures schools will have to spend a million dollars a year for construction.

Heavy Snow Paralyzing Entire Area By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The blizzard-battered Northeast fought to dig out from under A crippling mass of snow today on the first day of spring.
A blizzard born in West Virginia Sunday whistled up the New England coast early today. It was expected to end in Maine before noon, The New York area lay smothered under more than a foot of snow after the storm moved on. The storm followed in the tracks of another blizzard that swept the Northeast Friday night. The double assault hit a 14-state area and caused at least 153 deaths, most in traffic accidents or from overexertion in shoveling snow. The state-by-state death toll in both storms: New York 30, new Jersey 23, Connecticut 13, Rhode Island 10, Massachusetts 25, New Hampshire 1, Maine 6, Pennsylvania 7, Delaware 1, Maryland 3, Virginia 4 and Ohio 12.
Up to 20 inches of new snow tumbled down on parts of Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut. New Hampshire, Ver. mont and Maine had less than 10 inches. Thousands of commuters were stranded, whole communities were isolated and lowlands flooded by high tides. Drifting snow and stalled automobiles blocked roads throughout southern New England.
Rail transportation was limited, and bus and air service was at a standstill. Boston's Logan Airport was shut down at least until this afternoon. New Jersey's rural counties and eastern Long Island were buried under huge drifts. A state of emergency was declared in some communities. In Massachusetts, Cape Cod suffered the full force of both storms.
Austin have said they will be in the race. Sen. Price Daniel has said he is willing run but has withheld final decision until he hears from 25,000 Texans.
