By TOM CLARK My dear Drew: The fact that I have been invited to pinch-hit on the Washington Merry-Go-Round proves, without a doubt, that there is a free press in the United States. Your offer gives me an opportun- ity to write a story that is close to my heart—it's just' about kids— and that’s no kidding. Most of us know that teen-age crime is nothing new in this coun-| try. It has been with us for so long that some calloused individuals have taken the attitude that jutven-| ile crime is similar to a bit of dust. It must be hidden undpr the rug. I'll have to admit that I, too, didn't see the scope of the problem until October of last year. At that time I visited a correctional insti- tution near the District of Colum- bia.
