Perhaps the problem was more psychological than material-but that did not lessen its seriousness. Last week was a case in point: despite mounting unemployment figures, the Administration was confident of the basic strength of the U.S. economy, and President Eisenhower told why in a special message (see The Economy).

But the five "600" schools can accomodate only 1200 students. At a recent conference with Governor Harriman, the city received assurance that it would get another six "600" schools by fall, and also that the full-time correctional facilities would be enlarged. This still falls short of what is needed and will leave about 6500 of the 9500 hard-core delinquents in regular schools...
