THE SUNDAY IVENLECOUR DL CHANGES HT | Proposed Revisions Held Dangerous to Purposes of Measure. Changes proposed by the corpora- tion counsel in the Juvenile Court bill now before the Senate District Com- mittee would destroy the fundamental | purposes of the legislation and in- | jure, rather than improve, the func- | tioning of the Juvenile Court. This was the opinion of advocates of the, Juvenile Court bill. which recently passed the House, when informed yes- terday of the nature of amendments | proposed by Corporation Counsel El- | wood Seal. | Principal change proposed for the bill is to place in the hands of the corporation counsel investigation of | complaints and decision as to what further action should be taken in the “interests of the public or of the child.” T as it passed the House would vhave placed the work of prelimina investigation and inquiry in a designated officer of the court.” In the opinion of John E. Laskey, attorney, who took a prominent part in framing the legislation, the proposed change is fundamental and would continue the court as a criminal court instead of the chancery or equity court which is considered desirable | The changes have a long background. | y were proposed in substantially | me form when the bill was be- | fore the House District Committee in the last session of Congress, and dur- ing the hearings were argued pro and | Advocates of the bil | t passed the House convinced the | ittee that the changes were un- | from a sociological point of | { would defeat the purposes of | ter passage by the House a few | weeks ago, the bill was referred to the | Senate District Committee, and a sub- | committee, headed by Senator Cope- | land of New York. was appointed to | gtudy its provisions. In conference with Corporation Counsel Seal, the rame admendments defeated before the House committee found their way back into the measure Proponents of the Juvenile Court bill are preparing to argue before the Sen- ate committee that if the corporation ®eounsel’s office is given exclusive authority to investigate complaints and | decide on disposition of cases, the pur- poses of the bill will be defeated. “The amendments.” Laskey said, “change the whole scheme and philosophy of Y¥e measure. The corporation counsel #gain becomes the prosecutor, when the idea of prosecution is foreign to the nature of the bill.” “Personality” Discussed.

SUPREME COURT SCORED BY GEORGIA EDUCATORS Head of University Press Says South Likely to Be Retarded by Decision. By the Assoclated Press STATESBORO, Ga., March 13— “Georgia progress days,” sponsored annually by the South Georgia Teachers' College here, ended today with criticism of the Supreme Court as a barrier to progress. Speaking on the general theme ‘Whither Georgia, Poverty or Abun- dance?” W. T. Couch, head of the Uni- versity of North Carolina Press, and Dr. T. J. Wheeler of the University of D. C, MARCH Georgia College of Agriculture, both scored the court. Couch sald efforts to raise the economic status of Georgia and of other Southern States were “certain | to be defeated if the Supreme Court is permitted to continue to set aside acts of Congress.” Dr. Wheeler declared methods of the present administration to achieve “‘a better balance between the income to agriculture and the income to in- dustry have been thwarted by adverse decisions of the Supreme Court.
