will endorse a report to be issued Thursday by the Justice Department that recom mends curfews accompanied by community and counseling programs as a means to prevent juvenile crime White House officials said The Justice Department report recommends cur few exceptions for youths who are married accom panied by an adult traveling to or from work responding to an emergency or participating in a supervised school church or recreational event The approach is similar to those of seven cities which require youngsters to be off the streets at night and steer violators to curfew centers where they receive counseling and where parents pick themup Clinton was scheduled to pitch the idea in a trip Thursday to New Orleans where the strictest of the seven curfews is credited with reducing juvenile crime by 27 percent and lowering auto theft by 42 percent isdua aw iinsiii LstocB MeMzt I I I wwflir ii KZ23IIII IMIII Labor 42 I Merett 12 I 11 i Stas: 6 I Lfaxt32 tomet 5 II YudilH mocrabc
