18 JUVENILE DELINQUENCY that evidence. And it has been ruled that they are in violation, and as an American I stand on that violation. And I state as a loyal American, not a Communist—that I am opposed to communism— thank you, sir. Chairman I^fauver. Thank you very much for your contribution^ Mr. Young. Our next witness is Mr. Emmet Daly, the assistant attorney general of California who is here from San Francisco. He is from the office of Attorney General Pat Brown, and he has to catch a 3:30 plane. You may make it yet, Mr. Daly. We will change our order to allow Mr. Daly to tell us what we can do about juvenile delinquency. TESTIMONY OF EMMET DALY, ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL, STATE OF CALIFORNIA Mr. Daly. Mv name is Emmet Daly, and I am assistant attorney general of the State of California. My headquarters are in San Francisco. Chairman Kefauver. Mr. Daly, you are here to represent Mr. Brown ? Mr. Daly. That's correct. Chairman Kefauver. You are his assistant? Mr. Daly. I am assistant and in charge of our crime prevention bureau of the attorney general's office, and in that capacity very much interested in the subject of the inquiry before the committee. Chairman Kefauver. How long have you been in this position? Mr. Daly. I liave been with Mr. Brown in tliat particular capacity almost 4 years. Prior to that I was assistant district attorney with him in San Francisco. Prior to that I had 5 years with the FBI through- out the United States. Chairman Kefauver. All right, Mr. Daly, we will be glad to have your opinion about this problem and how you are getting along in California and what the difficulties are, and what suggestions you have for this committee. Mr. Daly. I don't have any statistical data to give you because I know that you are going to have various heads of the departments, such as the department of correction, the youtli authority, and others. Mr, Brown has told me to tell you that if there are any specific statistics w^liich you would care to have that our bureau of statistics can furnish you with, just let us know and we will get that for you. He wants to cooperate in every possible Avay with your committee. Now, the subjects that have just been discussed by Mr. Parker, I might direct your attention to one phase, which is tliat of narcotics, because there has been so much talk about it. About a year and a half ago the attorney general set up two com- mittees, one in San Francisco and one in Los Angeles, of outstanding professional and lay citizens to engage in a study of that specific ques- tion of narcotics. Following a year study we prepared a report which was submitted to him, and as a result of that report, we have now presented to the recent legislature in Sacramento a bill known as as- sembly bill 2334. That bill in substance sets up for the first time in California a commission on narcotics.
