far overworked and overburdened and they are carrying a responsibility far in excess of what any human being should be expected to carry. This has resulted in unbelievably long delays before trials. I have seen young men and women held in our Federal jails (which in some instances, are shocking and barbaric places in which to be retained for long periods of time) in the same large bay or building as the case may be without any form of isolation from hardened criminals. It is indeed unfortunate that a juvenile must be placed in jail at all . But if the juvenile must be placed there we ought to bend every effort towards making the period of imprisonment, particularly that before trial, conducive to improving the situation rather than making it worse. Therefore, it would seem well for this committe to look into the Federal jail system in Alaska as well as taking steps to strengthen the Federal judicial system. URGES ENACTMENT S. 728, THE DELINQUENT CHILDREN'S ACT OF 1955 In conclusion I should like to state that I have received the subcommittee print of S. 728, which is a bill to provide for assistance to and cooperation with the States in strengthening and improving State and local programs for the diminution, control, and treatment of juvenile delinquency. I should like to offer my urgent appeal that this legislation, which I have read completely, be enacted into law at the earliest possible date. I join with those who believe that this is such an important national problem, that the Federal Government and the State and Territorial governments must cooperate in meeting the problem. This bill not only emphasizes the importance of strengthening and improving State and Territorial and local programs, but also provides some assistance from the Federal Government through the establishment of grants-in-aid, the formation of a Federal advisory council, provides funds for the training of personnel employed, or preparing for employment in programs for the control and treatment of juvenile delinquency and provides for grants for special projects to develop and improve techniques and practices in the control and treatment of juvenilo delinquency. This form of legislation should be enacted, by all means, and would be of immeasurable assistance to Alaska. (Whereupon, at 9:45 p. m., the subcommittee adjourned to reconvene at the call of the Chair.)
