JUVENILE DELINQUENCY 75 Tn conclusion, we foe! this way about juvenile delinquency: We feel throuiih resolution of the federation, and it is the kids tliemselves, that much of the juvenile delin(iuency is due to the fact of lianoiuf:^ out on street corners and out in the streets, because the playgiounds, the recreation dei)artnient does not have a program—they have beautiful playgrounds, but they do not have a program tliat interest the kids enough to attend those programs. We also feel that the educational system needs some revamping. We feel we need more trade schools after high school and more business scliools, where the kids can attend at a minimum cost or at a cost to the government, and not making it compulsory to attend. The liquor problem with the kids, as discussed in the federation, is such we feel the federation can only advise them to stay away from hKluor. But the main problem lies iii the State Board of pAjualization and the liquor control districts to make the laws and legislation a little rouglier on both giving and selling liquor to the kids. That is about all. Chairman Kefaitver. We thank you very much. Mr. John Anson Ford lias written that he has been in touch with your federation and it has been very successful. You have more than 20 clubs in the fed- eration. Is that right ? Mr. OciiOA. That is riffht. A combined membershi]:) of about 2,000 kids. Chairman Kefauver. 2,000 kids. That is very fine work you are doing and we appreciate your coming here. Mr. Oc'HOA. I hope we have been of some use to the committee. Chairman Kefauver. Thank you. Mr. OcHOA. Thank you.

I do, yes. Chairman Kefauver. You can read your statement or you can file it and it will be printed in the record, or tell us what you want to tell us. Mr. MooRixcx. As you already know, my name is William Moor- ing. I live in California. I was born in Britain and now am an American citizen. I am the television and motion-picture editor of the Catholic Tid- ings, the local archdiocese and newspaper, and I am syndicated weekly to some 50 other Catholic newspapers throughout the ITnited States and Canada and other parts. I would say on this subject that criminal violence, human brutality, sadism, and other psychopathic disorders have been iiicreasinglv and majorly stressed in movies and on TV during the past 2 years. Mr. Kric Johnston of the Hollywood Producers has admitted this, has pub- licly admitted it. In many instances this viciousness, I think, has been accomplished by ditl'erent treatments of sex. This howevei-, the film and TV i)eople seem anxious to deny. As to the forms in which these and other recent films have been ad- vertised, they have in many instances violated all tenets of public
