Wtlkln of tho Children's Court said today It would be possible but not expedient to' charge 11 -year-old Michael Pon-kraskrow with first degree murder.

As the author of, that section ol the Penal Code which concerns the charging of minora with felonies, Justice Wilkin says It Is his opinion that District Attorney Newcombe would be within his legal rights If be elected to charge Michael with first degree murder and ask the Grand Jury to return such an indictment. "But the result would be that no jury in the world would find this boy guilty of such a crime," declared Justice Wilkin, "so that the sensible thing to do is to charge him with juvenile delinquency." SayH Jurors Would lloduce Chnrse. Justice Wilkin explained he believes that if the case were presented to the Grand Jury on a charge of first decree murder, the jurors, taking into consideration Michael's age, would reduce the charge to one of juvenile delinquency and Michael would be back in the Children's Court. "But I do believe that under the law he could be tried the same as if he were John Jones, 55," Justice Wilkin added. Of course, if Michael were convicted of first degree murder, he would face the electric chair.

If he were found to be a Juvenile delinquent, he would be sent either to a city-owned or private protectory. Upkeep Would Stop at Age of 16. Chief Clerk William McKee of the Brooklyn Children's Court said toda that if Michael were sent to a privately owned 'Institution, the city would automatically stop paying for his keep when he became 16, and that, in all probability, he would be released. Then Justice Wilkin pointed out that he might again be sent away if he got into any trouble. Mr.

McKee also declared Michael might be paroled in the custody of some responsible person or society despit the fact that the Court probably wil' find him to be a delinquent, charged with murder. Law Covering Case Quoted. The law regarding Michael's fate reads as follows: "A child of more than 7 and less than 16 years of age who shall commit any act or omission which If by an aduit would be a crime not punishable by death or life Imprisonment, shall not be deemed guilty of any crime, but of Juvenile delinquency only." Tbis is generally Interpreted to mean, at least In the Brooklyn Children's Court, that the only crime a child can commit in the State of New York is first or second degree murder. In discussing Michael's case. Justice Wilkin related an interesting sidelight today on the passage of that section, 2184 of the Penal Code, during the administration of Governor Hughes.

"I made a close study of the records of our penal institutions and lound that for 10 years previous to that time children had not been committing crimes that would send them to the electric chair or life Imprisonment," Justice Wilkin said. "For that reason, I drafted the new section without the 'if clause, which now makes it possible to proceed against Michael on a murder charge. "Governor Hughes called me Into conference and told me of the opposition to the bill as it then stood. I had known that many of our good people were very much opposed to its passage. So, rather than sacrifice the entire bill, I consented to the Insertion of that "if clause and the bill was passed." Kvcry One to Minnie, Ho Says.

W) Whippet racing may be classed as sport at winter resorts, but In the wide, snowy spaces of the Northwest, where dogs are dogs and a race Is a mush, a whippet would be as much out of place as a malamute at Palm Beach. Dog derbies, popular winter sport for many years, have spread to almost every community in Minnesota, and at least 75 dog races are on this year's calendar. The real musher, who comes down from The Pas with his furry robes and his team of wolflike dogs, takes his task as seriously as an automobile racer, and grooms his blooded animals carefully for trophy events.

One of the big derhles this season is that at the Duluth winter frolic, to be held soon. Famous teams from the north, with mushers who have won international trophies, will compete. From these events which classify as major business ventures for the drivers, the dog races range down to village events, where boys and girls, with mushing mongrels kept primarily to bring the cows home, hitch their dogs to sleds and careen down Main st. for a community trophy. Newspapers, civic clubs and sport groups have sponsored races for youngsters In recent years, and any Minnesota boy may now have his dog team and may dream of becoming some day a halrv-cheHted wleldT of the whip which spurs the dog team on through the driving snow.

They don't play with dangerous weapons.

The unfortunate part of this case was that Michael did. "Those who are to blame for this situation are you and I. You can't blame his parents. You can blame the boy. I don't believe there was any premeditation there, at least that Is my opinion from reading the story In the newspapers." Justice Wilkin said he considered Michael a normal hoy, but recommended aft a precautionary measure a mental examination.
