Our fathers before us have assumed this responsibility and now it is our turn." The cornerstone for the newr hospital addition will be laid September 23 at 1:30 P.M. ms- venile delinquency problem is pinpointed by the disproportionate involvement of young people in certain crimes. "In auto theft, persons under 18 made up 64 per cent of all arrests. They represented 52 per cent of the persons arrested for buglary, while 49 per cent of the arrests for larceny and 26 per cent of the arrests for robbery were of young people." Hoover commended local law enforcement agencies in combat-ling the crime problem in spite of what he described as ever-increasing related duties. He noted that the police have kept pace with the more than 60 per cent incrca-e in crime since 1950 by arresting 58 per cent more offenders.

The final 1959 crime report included these statistics: One murder every hour, one forcible rape every 35 minutes, one robbery every 7 minutes, one aqgravated assault every 4 minutes, one burglary, larceny or auto theft every 23 seconds. Killers took 8.580 lives in the country as 1959 showed 4 per cent more murders than in the previous year. Potential killers seriously wounded or attempted to kill 119,610 persons, a 5 per cent increase. Homes and other buildings were victimized 685,900 times by burglars, and 288,300 autos were fiolen. The value of property taken by robbers and burglars amounted to more than $500 million, although the net loss was cut to 47 cents on the dollar by police recoveries.

RAILROADS GET S2-3IILLION AID Subsidies Given To Erie, Lackawanna Trenton. Sept.

16 The trie and Lackawanna Railroads have been given about $2 million in State funds to continue commuter service. Dwight R. G. Palmer, State highway commissioner, announced yesterday he had signed contracts with the two North Jersey railroads. They were the second and third of nine to be signed in the next few days.

The Lackawanna agreed not only to stop dropping commuter trains, but to put several back in service on a 6-month trial basis. Both roads restored single day round-trip tickets at reduced rates. The exact amounts of the contracts with each were not given. The car-mile rate announced by Palmer, when compared with the preliminary estimate, means the Lackawanna should receive about $1,632,000 and the Erie somewhere around $600,000. A total of $6 million will be given to the railroads in return for guarantees to maintain all current passenger service.

The Erie and Lackawanna may not take off any trains before Aug. 29, 1961. Signing for the Erie was general manager Adolph E. Krie-sien: Vice-President Rowland L. Davis Jr.

Mayor Feldman was born in Jersey City and is a product of the City's public-' schools and REASON LISTED FOR RED MIGHT Fatima Plea Not Met, Priest Says Bogota The reason Russia is so powerful today is because the request made by the Blessed Mother at Fatima has not been fully carried out, a priest told the Chief Justice White Council 2386. K. of last night.

The Rev. Hugh Austin, O. pastor of St. Joseph's R. C.

Church, referred to the Catholic belief of the last ap parition at Fatima. Portugual in 1917. Father Austin quoted the Virgin Mary as saying, "If roy requests are granted. Russia will be converted and there will be peace in the world." The priest said she asked that the rosary be prayed daily and that mankind dedicate itself to her immaculate heart. Eighteen guests who attended the open meeting were told the history of the K.

of C. by Frank Keibel. past grand knight. Weibel said the organization was formed in New Haven, to provide low-cost insurance for persons of lower and middle income brackets. He said the low-cost insurance was still available for some one million members of the organization.

District Deputy Charles Tief-fenbronner urged guests to join the council. Wesley Flannagan. insurance representative of several councils in the County, explained the unit's insurance program. Societg Stages Parody Playlet On Scheduling Ridgefield Park A playlet satirizing program planning was part of the twentieth anniversary celebration yesterday of the First Methodist Church Women's Society of Christian Service. The satire, presented by the unit's executive board, depicted how important matters are often overlooked while trival things are stressed by program committees.

The playlett also included the history of the unit. The devotional period of the meeting was led by Mrs. Norman Westerfield and Mrs. Betty Wolfe. The program was directed by Mrs.

Andrew Malgeiri. Three members reported on the regional society conference at Hackettstown in June. Circle 1 was host at a luncheon for 30 members before the meeting. Mrs. Paul Mattoon, jircsident.

Hoover said the overall total of serious offenses last year was only 1 per cent higher than in 1958. But he said that killers, assailants, rapists, robbers, burglars, and assorted thieves committed 69 per cent more serious crimes in 1959 than in 1950 and 128 per cent more such offenses than were committed in 1940.

The report said priliminary reports for the first half of 11(60 indicate a sharp rise of 9 per cent in serious crimes over the same period a year ago, and asserted "Immediate prospects for a change in the trend are dim inasmuch as the F. B. I. crime calendar reveals the nation is approaching the crime-ridden month, December. "This ominous rise in crime cannot be explained away as being due to population increases," the F.

I. director said. "Crime has been rising four times as fast as population. Unless positive steps are taken to check this rising crime trend, this country will face a crime problem of emergency proportions in years ahead." Most alarming, he said, is a major increase in juvenile offenses. He said that with a 4 per cent increase in 1959, the arrests of persons under 18 have doubled the 1948 figure.

He stated: "The seriousness of the ju FIRING OF COP RULEDPROPER Woman Was Wounded In Newark Trenton, Sept. 16 UV-The State Civil Service Commission today ruled Newark patrolman Anthony R. Cifelli was properly fired after seriously wounding a woman with his police revolver. Cifelli shot Rita Linfanti of 342 Orange Street in the early morning of Mar. 9, 1959, while visiting her apartment when he was off duty.

The bullet lodged in her spine. Cifelli, of 260 Van Buren Street, said the gun went off accidentally as he was inspecting it just before putting his jacket on. But two Newark policemen who Investigated the ease testified that Cifelli told them he jokingly pointed the gun at Miss Linfanti as he was leaving and told her. "Don't forget me, doll," as it fired. The Civil Service Commission said it believed the two investigating officers.

No matter which version of the shooting is correct, the commission said, the facts show Cifelli is not the type of person to be entrusted with a gun and Is not qualified to be a policeman. It upheld the Newark Police Department's action in firing Cifelli Aug. 14, 1959.

LUNCHEONSERYED Old Tappan To Assist If Freight Train Blocks Road WEST SIDE PLAN Northvale There will be added fire protection for residents on the west side of the Borough as a result of an agreement the Fire Department has reached with the Old Tappan Fire Department, Councilman John L. Hogan reported. Hogan said the system was worked out so there will be no delay in fire equipment reaching any fires on the west side. For some time there has been a fear that a long freight train on the New York Central Railroad. West Shore Division, might delay equipment.

The councilman said that when future fires arc rrported on the west side of the Borough the police car, which usually is the first to proceed to a fire, will check the railroad. If there is any blockage, the police will radio the Closter radio dispatcher, who will contact River Vale police, who will alert the Old Tap-pan equipment. There are only two roads which provide access across the railroad tracks into the west side of the Borough. One of these must be reached by first going into New York State. Hogan aiso reported plans to mprove the conditions at me Clinton Avenue and Tappan Road intersection.

He said the engineer will study whether a widening of the streets or a bunker light or both will be best. 30 To Present Their Paintings In 2-Day Show Closter More than 175 works by more than 30 artists will be on exhibit at the art show to be sponsored tomorrow and Sunday from 2 to 6 P.

The new film. "Pupils, Schools, and the committee states, documents future increases in school enrollments and costs and pinpoints what it termed property-tax inequalities.

It states: "In the area of school costs the education forces contend that New Jersey schools, which now cost just under $500 million a year, will need more than $700 million by 1965. "Unless they get additional aid from the State government, local school taxes are likely to go from $.190 million in 1960 to $600 million by 1065." Education groups backing the Committee have been urging the current legislature to enact two bills iA-179. A-1801 which the Committee maintains would virtually double the amount of school aid most local district are now getting from the State. The bills would establish a State-aid program based on school costs of $300 a pupil, instead of the $200 figure as contained in present laws. Actual school costs, the committee pointed out, are now more than $400 for each pupil.

and Silber Scheidienstalt of the federal republic of West Germany. Argentina has some fourteen uranium mines in operation, some of them with a high ore content. The government is the sole purchaser of the ore by law. It has two crushing mills. in jyjb a pilot refinery was opened, principally with West German machinery at Ezeiza, south-west of Buenos Aires where uranium rods of a purity of 997-thousandths are produced Finally.

3 years ago, an ex perimental reactor entirely built in Argentina from plans supplied by the Argone Nuclear Physics Laboratory of Chicago was brought into operation for the training of nuclear energy engi neers. There has been considerable controversy as to whether Argentina should follow American or Anglo-French techniques, but apparently the latter will be adopted. U. S. plants favor enriched uran ium which is beyond the resources of Argentina to produce.

A gift of six kilos of enriched uranium from the U. S. went into the experimental reactor, but the European technique using pure uranium is favored as being within the reach of local resources. The National Atomic Energy Commission produces principally radioactive isotypes for medicinal and industrial purposes. Isotopes of idoine have been so successful in treating goitre, which is an endemic disease in the Mendoza Province, that it has almost disappeared.

Argentina also has vast supplies of lithium lying around as well as plentiful lodes of uranium. Now that the great deposits in the Belgian Congo seem threatened by the social and political upheavals which followed the declaration of independence, Argentine uranium isjikely to become ever more important to the nations of the free world.

Senate Offered Data By Group Opposing Port Morrislown, Sept. 16 (I'PI) A citizens' group opposed to the building of a jet airport in Morris County today offered its assistance in a State Senate inquiry into the affairs of the Port of New York Authority. George K. Batt. chairman of the Jersey Jetport Site Association, said the group would make available to Senate investigators data and research accumulated by the J.

J. S. A. in its fight to keep a jetport out of the county. He said the J.

J. S. A. represents thousands of property owners in Morris County who stand opposed to the jetport. Batt termed the Senate decision to study the Port Authority's affairs an action favorable to the position of the J.

J. S. A. But he ruled out any possibility that the group would aid financially in the investigation. He said a great mass of data had been offered the Senate's group which the investigators would otherwise have to duplicate.

He said the Senate could do with the material what it saw fit. Batt promised a continued effort on the part of the J. J. S. A.

to oppose a proposed Port Authority jetport in the County. RECREATION PLANS REQUIRE HELPERS Sestanovich Requests Volunteers For Proposed Activities Cresskill Recreation Director John A.

The film dramatizes the basic thinking of its producer the Committee for School Support with headquarters in Trenton which is against property-tax funds as the main source of school costs. According to Mrs. Juanita Strain, a member of the Dumont Board of Education and one of the County's spokesmen for increased State aid to schools, the new approach is an improvement over last year's program.

She was chairman last year of the County program to promulgate literature and arrange various meetings so that the film "Let George Help Do It" could be viewed. Lew Appelgate, public relations director for the New Jersey Education Association, is expected to attend the meeting September 28, Mrs. Strain reports. He helped organize last year's publicity drive. Organized earlier this week in Trenton, the Committee for School Support selected Leonard E.

Best of Summit to lead this year's drive on the State level. He stated: "Taxes on the true clambered out and fled, leaving a $75,000 cargo of 10,000 Swiss watches and 90 transistor radios. Later, it was disclosed that the plane was from Sao Paulo, Brazil, and had been making weekly trips, Argentine anti-smuggling forces are now keeping watch on airplane hangars and workships, looking for souped-up extra tank jobs. They also have appealed to farm laborers to report to authorities if their neighbors seem rich without tilling the soil. Argentine atomic energy came of age this month when a deal was made for the first time in volving commercial imports and exports with both West Germany and Holland.

Argentina has long been in the vanguard of Latin American countries in atomic energy. Her scientists were favored in their studies of cosmic rays by the foot Andean mountain range where they set up their stations. The nearby Mendoza University trained a whole generation of nuclear experts in readiness for the day. The present deal involves, firstly, the export to Holland of radiated white lead from the synchrocyclotron operated by the National Atomic Energy Commission since 1953. This is a temporary measure while the Philips Company's own cyclotron in Amsterdam is under repairs.

Philips built the Argentine cyclotron and credit is usually given to Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, no mean businessman himself, for the sale. The other contract calls for the export of 5,000 kilograms of yel-lowcake or oxide of uranium concentrates with an ore content of 84 per cent, crushed in the commission's mills at Cordoba.

SOME ARE CAPTURED Hardly a week passes without news of mysterious aircraft and still more mysterious cargoes dropping from the skies into remote places. Some are captured, but, unlike fishermen's tales, little is ever heard of those who got away. These unknown daredevils skim the skies with loads of nylon clothing, Swiss watches, precision tools, typewriters, cam eras, and otner gooas great demand. They also go in for hu man contraband. Many an underground Communist agent or hunted political enemy is will ing to pay the price to get in or get out of a country without passing frontier guards.

Some of these flights start in the U. S. A. with chartered or privately owned planes, usually from Miami, Fla. Many others are between Argentina and the neighboring countries of Chile, Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay, Brazil, and Uruguay.

Now that the Argentine peso is a hard currency, and Brazil has a relatively soft eurrency, it is good business to fly out transistor pocket radios worth 2,400 cruzeiros in Brazil or 1,600 pesos Argentine currency, to Argentina where it can be sold for three times the price. So great is the smuggling of Swiss watches in Argentina that the Swiss government has several times made formal represen tations to Argentina. President Frondizl during his visit to Switzerland recently announced a re duction In duties on Swiss watch' es in hopes of stemming the tide, However, the smugglers bring in watch movements and add the gold cases locally. If the gold loses luster and is not up to Swiss standards, the Swiss get the blame. Hardly was the ink dry on the president's decree, when a Brazilian owned Cessna 200 landed on a farm at General Pachecho, northwest of Buenos Aires, before the carious eyes of two mounted policemen.
