"The kids are facing the fact that they must start earlier and work harder to go a reasonable distance." Careers, has brought influence lo bear in other ways. One goal, said Choate, is "to break the vicious circle of job discrimination." The pattern Choate deplores: A Phoenix employer will slate he is willing to hire technicians, regardless of parentage, so long as (hey arc qualified. But In high school and even In the grades, there is a tendency to counsel children of minorities away from scientific and academic courses.

Why pointy a dead-end street? Consequently no qualified graduates come along to test the employer's tolerance. No minorities are hired. And the school counselor's advice seems wise for the next class. "IN BREAKING this self feeding circle of injustice, we don't mean to involve ourselves in anybody else's business," said Choate. "We just hope that they will make our business their own." Together with the projecls in schools, Careers, Inc.

We arrange as many field trips as we can, and concerts, art shows, and so forth.

Since the Legion Post was established in Phoenix in 19-15, ail of the members, more than 1,000, are his "boys." Any time one of them is in trouble with the law, or his family or business trouble, Fuentes is called upon for help or advice.

"Pipas," as he is called with affection, is actually the padre beneficio to his people in the valley. Pipas knows what it is to be in trouble. Born in Ray, Fuentes at 13 went out into the streets to sell tamales and tortillas to help with the household expenses. An uncle in Watsonville, offered to help with a job, room and board but no salary. The attraction of the job was that he would have a chance to learn how to service coin-operated music boxes.

This statement came not long ago from a young man who had served several weeks on a murder jury that returned a verdict of innocent. His is understandable. A poll of the jurors afterward disclosed that at least seven felt the accused was definitely guilty, two others thought so but were not absolutely sure, and three others definitely felt the accused was innocent.

wi5 JhT. diversil opinion had no connection with actual guilt or innocence. It was in the jury's interpretation of the law and the court's rulings. The controversial subject of the fairness of juries is not a new one. But, apparently unlike some vocal minority groups, members of the Maricopa County judicial system believe in the jury method of justice and raise questions in the minds of jurors which go unanswered.

Our jury system is based on the belief that it is better to free 100 guilty men than convict a single innocent man. And the net result is just that. Judge Yale McFate remarked that "in at least 8 out of 10 cases. Most of the better defense at- 1C ur verdicts are directly in torneys agree, though privately. line with my thinking on, the matter." The juror who objected to 12 persons from'all walks of life sitting in judgment on a man accused of a crime apparently understand there is that in every 13th juror.

"BOTH STRIKES were by large, atomic bombs of 10 meta- tons or more," Redburn said. "01 the persons remaining in the city, 85 per cent were killed." He said many of the other casu-' allies were evacuees, some them hurt in traffic accidents, Phoenix residents were evacua-i ted to Prescott, Wickenburg, Ajo, Gila Bend, Casa Grande, Springerville and Safford.

Tucson residents went to Douglas and Nogales. Redburn said civil defense headquarters apparently felt large bombs dropped on the two cities would destroy such military installations as Ft.

Second Avenue. With $2,700 raised from benefit dances' the small group, with Pipas in charge, started construction. Everything went well until they finished the footing of the main building. "Then we ran out of money," Pipas remembered. But luck was with them.

A Phoenix contractor, J. H. Welsh and Sons, donated the entire plumbing equipment needed to complete the building. From that day on, the Legion has been on good footing. Johnny Pacheco, an old Legion member and a Phoenix businessman, says, "Pipas has done more for the south side people than anyone else I know of.

He is a politician, diplomat and for the Legion in the state. He personally brings in some 300 members each year. During a three-year period, he was averaging 500 members per year. The present post commander, Pete Abeyta, said that Fuentos is also called the "Father Duffy" of the south side. "He has a heart of gold, and can't turn anyone down.

Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Fred J. Hyder goes a step further. "Actually 14 persons have to be convinced of the guilt of a man before the jury finds him guilty. The prosecutor can't do a good job if he is not convinced the accused did the deed with which he is charged."

One of the biggest items jurors sitting in deliberations find confusing is one court instruction on reasonable doubt. According to the law, the jury, if finding a man guilty, must be sure of that guilt "beyond a reasonable doubt." But what is reasonable doubt? "Some great minds have written volumes on this subject," said Judge McFate, "and I guess there will always be a controversy over it." The judicial consensus is that more juries, in wanting to protect an accused man, interpret reasonable doubt as being slightest doubt. While the defense attorneys are well satisfied when this theory is adopted, it causes prosecutors sleepless nights.
