no less, and to this, tonight, let us resolve
to pledge our every effort. Thank you.
DELINQUENT PARENTS CAUSE DE-
LINQUENT CHILDREN
Mr. WALTERS. Mr. President, I ask
unanimous consent to have printed in the
RECORD an editorial, from the Knoxville
News-Sentinel, citing the actions of
Judge Kenneth Turner, a member of
the juvenile court in Memphis. Judge
Turner puts his finger on the source of
much of our juvenile delinquency prob-
lem when he states that the behavior of
children stems in large part from the
training and guidance they receive at
home. His formula for assessment of
the parents for the cost of maintaining
their offspring who are sentenced to con-
finement in an institution is a good one.
If Judge Turner's actions were copied
more widely, I feel sure there would be
a marked improvement in parental su-
pervision, which ultimately would lead
to a lower rate of juvenile delinquency.
There being no objection, the editorial
was ordered to be printed in the RECORD,
as follows:
[From the Knoxville News-Sentinel, Sept. 4,
1964]
ADULT DELINQUENTS
In Memphis, a juvenile court judge, Ken-
neth Turner, bases his decisions on a cen-
tral policy:
"I've always felt that delinquent parents
caused delinquent children in 95 percent of
the cases, and I'm trying in every way pos-
sible to hold such parents responsible for
their behavior."
Judge Turner even has gone to the length
of assessing parents for the cost of maintain-
ing juvenile delinquents in institutions. If
they don't pay, he cites them for contempt.
Of all that has been said and written about
juvenile delinquency and its causes, Judge
Turner has come closer to the real issue. If
.his policy were followed generally, there
would be a substantial decline in juvenile
delinquency.
THE REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL
NOMINEE ABANDONS HIS POLICY
OF FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY
The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr.
WALTERS in the chair) . The Senator
from Wisconsin is recognized.
Mr. PROXMIRE. Mr. President, the
distinguished junior Senator from Ari-
zona [Mr. GOLDWATER], the Republican
nominee for President of the United
States, is recognized throughout the
country and the world as a man who is
fiscally conservative. For this reason, I
was very much disappointed with his
speech of last night, in which he advo-
cated a cut in income taxes of 25 percent.
The only way in which I can construe
his position is that the distinguished
Senator from Arizona [Mr. GOLDWATER]
walked out on his, fiscal responsibility
when he advocated a tax cut and stated
that he would cut taxes 25 percent with-
out cutting Federal spending.
Senator GOLDWATER'S proposal would
drive prices up cruelly. Senator GOLD-
WATER and I both voted against the re-
cent administration-backed tax cut.
We opposed it because a tax cut that
reduced revenue below spending in this
booming period of prosperity is irrespon-
sible and inflationary.
I do not believe the Senator can have
it both ways. Either the distinguished
Senator from Arizona is for a balanced
budget or he is not. If he has reversed
his position on tax reduction, he should
admit that he erred when he had the
opportunity to support a tax cut, and
not merely talk about it. Why was the
Senator against tax cuts then, and why
is he for them now?
Senator GOLDWATER'S proposals would
cost some $3.8 billion in revenue a year?
more than double the anticipated cash
deficit for this fiscal year. In total, the
Goldwater proposals would mean nearly
$19 billion of additional tax loss on top
of the less than $12 billion already pro-
posed and adopted.
The Goldwater proposal takes no ac-
count of the state of the economy,
whether inflationary forces are strong,
and the level of unemployment high or
low. What happened to the need for
running a budget surplus so that we
might retire some of the oppressive na-
tional debt? What happened to the need
for reform in our tax structure?
Has the Senator from Arizona repudi-
ated his own prior expenditure views, or
the Republican platform? He has pro-
posed increases in military expenditures
alone costing an additional $5 billion a
year for every year in the next decade.
This means a total of $50 billion of addi-
tional expenditures. In addition, he has
advocated increased veterans' benefits
and a central Arizona TVA which would
cost billions more.
On the tax side, the Republican plat-
form has recommended tax credits for
elderly, medical and hospital care, edu-
cation, and fishing vessels that would
cost at least $2 billion annually in lost
revenue, as well as excise tax cuts and
tax transfers to the States.
Such unpremeditated slaughter of the
balanced-budget concept is irresponsibje.
It would truly create a Federal vern
ment that was an engine o
21095
ther the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961,
as amended, and for other purposes.
AMENDMENT NO. 1234
Mr. JAVITS. Mr. President, I send to
the desk my amendment No. 1234, co-
sponsored by the junior Senator from
Minnesota [Mr. MCCARTHY], to the
amendment proposed by the Senator
from Illinois [Mr. DIRKSEN] and the
Senator from Montana [Mr. MANSFIELD]
to H.R. 11380, for reading under the rule.
Mr. President, I ask unanimous con-
sent that further reading may be dis-
pensed with, and that the amendment
may be deemed to have been read in
compliance with the rule. ,
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without
objection, it is so ordered.
The amendment of Mr. JAVITS is as
follows:
Strike out all on and after line 1, page 1,
and insert in lieu thereof the following:
"SEC. 402. It is the sense of the Congress
that in any action or proceeding in any
court of the United States or before any
justice or judge of the United States in which
there is placed in question the validity of
the composition of any house of the legis-
lature of any State or the apportionment of
the membership thereof, adequate time
shOuld be accorded (1) to such State to con-
form to the requirements of the Constitu-
tion of the United States ? relating to such
composition or apportionment consistently
with its electoral procedures and proceed-
ings and with its procedure and proceedings
for the amendment of the constitution of
such State, and (2) for consideration by the
States of any proposed amendment to the
Constitution of the United States relating
to the composition of the legislatures of the
several States, or- -to the apportionment of
the membership thereof, which shall have
tbeen duly submitted by the Congress to the
States for ratification."
THE CHILEAN ELECTION
Mr. JAVITS: Mr. President, all
Americans have cause to rejoice over the
decisive victory- of Eduardo Frei, the
Christian Democratic Party's candidate
for President of Chile. His decisive de-
feat of Salvador Allende, a Socialist who
headed the four-party leftist coalition
FRAP which included the Communists,
is of great importance not only to Chile?
where it represents a massive popular
endorsement of orderly and lawful social
change long overdue in that country?
but to the cause of economic progress
within a democratic framework, which
is the basic goal of the Alliance for Prog-
ress.
Senator Frei's election is also signifi-
cant, because this is the first national
victory by a Christian Democratic Party
in the Western Hemisphere, whereas, if
the coalition including the Communists
had been elected, it would have been the
first time that a freely elected national
government, including Communists, was
installed in any free world country.
Last March I visited Chile and talked
ith the Chilean leaders, including Sen-
r Frei, who has now been elected
resident, Senator Julio Duran, the can-
didate of the Radical Party, and Presi-
dent Allesandri. I reported to the Sen-
ate at that time the possibility that a
Communist-Socialist coalition regime
could be elected legally in that country.
I then reported that it would be the first
