JUVENILE DELINQUENCY (Interstate Adoption Practices) FRIDAY, JULY 15, 1955 UNITED STATES SENATE, SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE JUDICIARY TO INVESTIGATE JUVENILE DELINQUENCY, Chicago, Ill. The subcommittee met, pursuant to adjournment, at 9:40 a. m., in room 210, Old Post Office Building, Chicago, Ill., Senator Estes Kefauver (chairman) presiding. Present: Senators Kefauver and Langer. Also present: James H. Bobo, general counsel; Peter Chumbris, associate counsel; Ernest A. Mitler, special counsel; Dixon Donnelley, editorial director; Marvin R. Fullmer, George Butler, and George Martin, investigators. Chairman KEFAUVER. The subcommittee will come to order. I regret this morning that because of a previous engagement it was necessary for Senator Wiley to return to Milwaukee. We hope he will be back later today. Also, because of a night Senate session last night, Senator Thye has been delayed in arriving. He should have been our first witness. He will be here shortly and will testify and also sit with the subcommittee during the rest of the hearings today and tomorrow. The chairman is delighted to have with us, sitting with us, Judge Otto Kerner, an old and good friend of mine who, as United States attorney, and as a judge in Cook County is one of our finest public servants, and a very outstanding citizen of Chicago. It is good to see you, Judge Kerner, and to have you with us again. I want to thank Judge Kerner for his great help to the members of the staff of our subcommittee in working up the inquiry, which we will have today and tomorrow. Yesterday we had the privilege of receiving testimony from Chicago and Cook County officials and religious and civic leaders concerning general community problems which have an impact on youth. We welcome the many excellent suggestions we received from these witnesses, who possess a specialized knowledge of the juvenile delinquency problem. Their views will be of great assistance to this subcommittee in its legislative program. I would like to say at this time that having been somewhat familiar with what has been going on in the field of law enforcement and civic interests in Chicago over a period of many years, that it is a matter of great satisfaction to me to see the increased effort in the field of crime ་ COMMITTEE ON THE JUDICIARY HARLEY M.
