230 JUVENILE DELINQUENCY We have had an awful lot of evidence on it, and I hope you will get our hearings and read them. Thank you for your statement. Mr. Jacobs. Thank you. Chairman Kefauater. We are going to adjourn shortly, but before I do, I had a letter a little while ago from Mrs. Alice Good. It says: Me. Senator. In the interest of good citizenship, will you please ask the audi- ence if they would join me in an informal meeting or two to determine if we can form a permanent group which will continue to explore delinquency. Our purpose will be to try to formulate some constructive ideas which will benefit the community and channel these ideas through existing organizations. It is signed, "Mrs. Alice Good." We are glad to have people who are interested in calling the citizens meetings for purposes of that sort. I understand Mrs. Good is a highly respected lady, and if any one would like to stay here and meet with her after we adjourn, the custodian of the building and the of- ficers have been so kind about it, I am sure they will cooperate with you. Mrs. Good, will you stand up and tell us your name, I mean who you are? Mrs. Alice Good. Well, I am really a very ordinary person. I am not anybody of great importance, and I am sorry to say that I haven't given these things much attention in most of my life. I happened to have been brought up in an environment where the political situa- tion was pretty rank, and I turned my back on all types of political interests and I have just made myself happy with my own interests, but of recent years I couldn't help but be attracted by conditions and the circumstances of our living, and in fact, any ordinarily intelli- gent person couldn't help being attracted to it. Chairman Kefau^'er. Well, Mrs. Good you are just a good house- wife and citizen who wants to generate some activity and interest in helping out children with a lot of their problems and create an inter- est in it, and I think that is a very noble purpose, and I hope that some of these good people will stay and meet with you. Mr. Robert L. Loucks. Did I understand you are going to adjourn ? Chairman Kefauver. Yes, we are about to adjourn. Mr. LoucKS. I would like to be heard. I have been trying to get in contact for about 10 days. Chairman Kefauver. Well, I have considered the matter you want to talk about and I don't exactly see the relation to this subject matter here. It is a pretty general subject matter you have, Mr. Loucks. Mr. LoucKS. It is the point on that relationship. Chairman Kefauver. Well, if you want to call a meeting of your own Mr. LouGKS. If I want to what ? Chairman Kefauver. Well, all right. We will give you about 2 minutes. What is it you want to say ? Mr. LouGKS. Two minutes ? Can an American citizen present his opinion in 2 minutes ? Chairman Kefauver. But we are talking about juvenile delin- quency. Mr. LoucKS. I am talking about juvenile delinquency and what is back of it. I am talking about that relationship. Chairman Kefauver. I understood you had some constitutional amendments.
