Feature goes on after the NEWS (SO COME EARLY) Coming WEDNESDAY ANN HARDING in "RIGHT TO ROMANCE" To the Honorable William G. Thomas, President Judge: The report of the Probation Officer; as Probation Officer of the Juvenvile Court, Adult Probation and Parole Officer, and Desertion Probatio Officer; for the year 1933, is as follows: Juvenile During the year 1933, there were seventeen (17) petitions filed in the Juvenile Court of the County. Seven (7) alleging delinquency; three (3) incorrigibility; two (2) neglect and five (5) dependency. Following hearings in 4 of these the cases were continued; four (4) institutionalized; four (4) in foster homes, and three (3) dismissed. The petitioner (a parent) in one case forwarded to this office, but never entered as of record, requested that action on the petition be withheld for the time being, and the petition has not as yet been filed, and in the remaining case probation was used.

In addition to the seventeen (17) cases actually in Court, twenty-one (21) cases of children were brought to the attention of the Probation Officer, and adjustments made without necessity of filing petitions in the Juvenile Court, which would necessitate bringing twenty-one more children before the Court, or it was found that nothing could be gained by so doing. Without the system of attempting adjustment of such problems without recourse to the Court, we would have had a total of thirtyeight (38) children in the Juvenile Court during the year. A check of the records of previous years indicates that this compares with the number of children actually before the Court in the years preceding the establishment of a probation department of the Court. It is believed to be of actual benefit to the child that wherever possible he be kept from actual contact with the Courts, and the system of prevention and adjustment outside the Court is followed by all progressive Juvenile Courts throughout the country. It must be pointed out that such adjustments are accomplished without disciplinary action of custody of any child.

Continued on Page Three Doctor's Ill Health Makes Trial Impossible CHICAGO, Jan. 22-(AP)-Dr. Alice L. Wynnekoop and her attorney today began drafting a petition asking Judge Joseph V. David to declare a mis-trial in her murder case because of her health.

Judge David had intimated he would grant the motion if it were made, after listening to testimony that Dr. Wynnekoop's physical condition was serious. Attorneys said they considered it probable that the trial would be officially declared ended shortly. Declaring of a mis-trial probably would be accomplished by withdrawing a juror. Dr.

Alice then would be returned to the county jail to await sufficient improvement in her condition to warrant a new trial. Of three doctors' reports given today one was from Dr. W. D. McNally, of the Cook county behavior clinic suggested by Assistant State Attorney to examine the defendant.

His report was to the effect that Dr. Wynnekoop was well enough to continue. Dr. Frank Chauvt, defense physician, said Dr. Wynnekoop was well enough to lie in court in a semi-reclining postion.

Dr. Arthur Byfield, appointed by the court, said he believed continuing of the trial would endanger the defendant's life.
