Pusan, Mar. 20.
Rapidly increasing numbers of juvenile crimes in war-torn South Korea are adding to the headaches of the Syngman Rhee Government and South Korea's social workers.
Recent surveys showed that at least 1,200 minors, 99 per cent of them boys, have passed through Pusan's Juvenile Court in the past six months..
Court officials In Pusan esti- mated that at least 1,000 of the youths were war orphans and approximately one per cent of South
Kurea's orphans have been tried in open court by Pusan authorities during the past half year.
Court records showed that most of the crimes attributed to youthful offenders were thefts, but that there had been a mark- ed increase in South Koren in
