Reporter criticizes juvenile homes
WASHINGTON (UPI) — A reporter who won the Pulitzer Prize for his nationwide study of criminal justice told Senate investigators today children are held under "inhuman conditions" at institutions throughout the nation.
Howard James of the Christian Science Monitor told tales of a Florida town where residents "were furious" at the removal of a cruel juvenile administrator, of a South Carolina institution where children are "beaten with rubber hoses, hoe handles, ropes, chains and fists," and of a California girls' home where homosexuality is widespread and matrons peer through field glasses from a tower "watching the girls fondle each other."
"I can tell you about brutality, about inhuman treatment all over the United States," James said in prepared testimony for the Senate juvenile delinquency

Dr. E. Preston Shap, general secretary of the American Correctional Association, told the subcommittee public indifference caused the failure of prisons and juvenile institutions. James, author of a book titled "Crisis in the Courts," said homes, welfare authorities, courts and institutions join together in "a production system that turns out delinquents, and eventually adult criminals, just as an automaker turns out cars."
James said. "... I found, among other things, the children were being beaten with rubber hoses,
He said juvenile institutions were perhaps the worst of all. He cited examples.
Cites beatings
James said at the Marianna, Fla., School for Boys, the superintendent was fired because he supported a policy of "beating boys ... often until they were black and blue, sometimes until they bled, with a weighted leather paddle."
"... The worst training school I visited was in Columbia, S.C."
Arab airliner crashes on landing at Aswan
CAIRO (UPI) A Soviet-made turboprop crammed with Moslems returning from Mecca scuffed a wing on landing at Aswan today and burst into flames. Ninety-two persons were killed.
The United Arab Airlines Ilyushin-18 carried a crew of seven and 94 Moslem pilgrims-a total of 101 persons. Fourteen survived but five of them died later in hospitals.
The wreckage blocked the runway andnd closed the airport at Aswan, 500 miles south of Cairo on the Nile River.
Reports said a wing dipped and caught the runway, turning the airliner into a tumbling ball of flame.
Both Cairo radio and the Middle East news agency (MENA) carried reports of the crash-Egypt's worst air disaster since May 20, 1965, when a Pakistani International Airliner crashed near Cairo, killing 121.
Mena said the four-engine plane had left Cairo yesterday to pick up the Arab Moslem pilgrims and return them from Mecca.
Airline sources said Egypt's National Airline had taken delivery of the plane two weeks ago. Cairo Radio said fire engines and medical teams raced to the airport, near the Soviet-built Aswan Dam.

He said most juvenile officials are dumb, lazy or indifferent. At Joliet, Ill., he said, "I did meet one guard ... who was doing some of the things I suggested. He was teaching children to read, to spell, the facts of life, and how to grow plants in a tin can. He had to bring his own materials, paid for out of his own pocket.
"But he was doing it, and other guards opposed him."
