Second Restoration Brings
Government to Within Five
Per Cent of Old Level

Federal employees in washington
will receive the additional S per
cent pay restoration, effective
July l, with their next salary
checks, it was announced today
at the Treasury Department.
The checks will not be distrib-
uted until Monday, July 16. how
ever, unless present plans are
changed at the last minute, Off
cials indicated.
1t has heretofore been the prac-
tice, whenever practicable. to
make salaries payable on Satur-
day, if the first or fifteenth OF the
month falls on Sunday.
The announcement set at rest
rumors among workers in emer-
gency organizations as the NRA
and AAA those on temporary ap-
pointments may be kept waiting
for their extra five per cent, as
was the case last March, when
Congress voted to give Govern
ment personnel the first S per
cent restoration as Of February /.
With the two S per cent res
torations now in effect, Gov
ernment pay is within S per 0,nt
of it's original level. The restored
10 per cent is expected to relieve
much suffering among low
salaried personnel and to boost
business in the District.

RELIEF HEADS
SPLIT ON RENT
ALLOWANCE
More Liberal Policy Needed,
Some Officials Feel;
85,0 900 Affected
What about rent?

WnaC ABOUT rent?
That is the question which is
today worrying relief officials of
the District government, from
Commissioner George E. Allen,
who is the state administrator of
relief, down to the most recent
addition to the staff of case
workers who have a first-hand
view of the problems of the desti-
tute, the unemployed and the un-
employables on the relief rolls.
The question of whether to pay
a much more liberal allowance
for rent is being discussed be-
tween the officials and members
of the staff. Not many days ago
the relief unit ended a brief ex-
perience in which rent allowances
had to be discontinued for pc
riod ranging between two and
three weeks, and the lessons out
Of that experience are now being
cited by many relief officials as
a reason why the District should
pay much more rent allowance
than is now the case.
Funds Divided
At the present time relief funds
are used to pay full rents for
unemployables. and half rents
for employable cases, on the
ground that in a family where
people can work someone can al
ways "kick in" with enough
money to keep the roof over the
head.
Elwood Street, director of pub
lie welfare, favors a liberal rent
paying policy, but is not ready to
make any change in the present
plan of paying rents in full for
unemployables and half rents for
employable families.
Cost Is High
One reason is the huge cost,
and the fact that the Federal
Government is not anxious to in
crease relief payments here. Dis
cussing the local situation, Mr..
Street said:
Approximately 10 per cent
Of the dwellings of the country
are occupied by families deSti-
tute and unemployed and de-
pendent on relief. Here in
Washington $4,000 families,
which means about $4,000 peO-
pie or about q sixth of our
population, is dependent to
some extent on relief; and they
must be housed properly. If
we don't pay rents on the homes
Of $4,000 families there will be
a bad situation"

The nation is faced with the
greatest scarcity of hard and soft
crabs within the memory of the
Oldest watermen in these parts.
And as result, crabs that
normally brought $3.50 a barrel
are selling today for three times
that much while soft crabs retail
for 81 a dozen.
The Chesapeake Bay and its
tributaries, which supply the
United States with most of its
crabs, are depleted.
Hard Winter Blamed
Richard L. Eacho, who has been
one of the city's leading sea food
dealers for nearly Is years, said
he has never known a time when
the market has been so short. The
reason, Mr.. Eacho said, is this:
Last winter was one of the
most severe we have had for a
long time. Chesapeake Bay was
frozen over for the first time in
many years. The crabs did not
dig into the mud as deeply as
they should have, due, appar-
emily, to the milder winters we
had had.
"When the ice broke up, it
iank and the crabs were washed
from the mud and killed. Water
men who dredged for crabs dur
ing the winter reported that
most Of their hauIS were dead
crabs. And as the hard crabs

Arno B. Cammerer, director Of

Character Education Institute
Calls Tribunal a Last Resort
for DeIinquentS

Juvenile Court should be used
only as a last resort in correct
ing children, it was brought out
today in a report to the char.
acter education institute being
conducted at the Franklin School
to train teachers in the purpose
and plans of the character eXper-
iment which will be launched in
10 District public schools in Sep
tember.
The report was presented by a
special committee assigned to in
vestigate the question and will
be discussed in the sessions Of
the institute, which will termi-
nate its classes tomorrow.
Court Atmosphere Bad
Summarizing the work of agen-
cies dealing with juvenile delin-
quency, the report read in part:
even with an excelIently
trained judge and adequate per-
Sonnel, the Juvenile Court is,
like other courts, place of
refuge for the people who are
unable to so order their lives
without this artificial interven-
tion.
"The atmosphere of the court
at best is one Of depressing
mOnOtOny, business of rub
bing elbows with other problem
children who only add to the
child'S impression of having
arrived among a select group
Of bad actors.
Parents and teachers are
generally too anxious to shift
the problem of the difficIIt
child to the court. The num-
ber Of available solutions in
the community for handling
the maladjusted child is not
enlarged by bringing the child
before the court. A period of
probation or commitment to
the Board Of Public Welfare
does not of itself make the
child a normal citizen"
Informal Hearings Urged
Palliative measures were sug.
gested, all with a view to keeping
delinquent children out of court.
Disciplinary action in the school
and home were held in the report
to be sufficient in most cases,
Once in the court, children who
are known not to be confirmed
offenders" should be given an in
formal hearing, it was advocated.
Need for the development of a
new point Of view toward delin-
quency was expressed, and among
the needs is a recognition of the
social needs of the delinquent.
The causes Of delinquency are uni.
versal, the report stated.
DR.. w. w. Charters, one of the
specialists who was brought here
as a consultant for the character
institute, said there is a need for
a favorable, friendly attitude of
good will on the part of teachers. :"
DR.. Ben Wood, another special.
lst, called for a recognition by
teachers of the devastating effect
OF failure on children.

spectacular productions ever to
come from Hollywood. The Pod
recca Picolli Marionettes, which
are employed throughout the ma

The romance of II Am Suzanne"
has simplicity and rapture that

story is that of a young dancer
who falls in love with the youthful
representative of a family Of pup
peteers. She leaves the stage to
join the puppet show so that she
may be near her sweetheart. The
puppeteers are successful, but the
young star is unhappy because the
boy seems to prefer her pup
pet to herself. In furiated with
his thoughtlessnes of her, the
young girl destroys the puppet and
returns to the stage. The lovers,
however, find themselves together
again when her producer engages
the puppeteers for the same show.
The stars manager, fearing that his
young dancer will ruin the show
because of her inambition, pleads
with the young man to profess his
love for her. The youth finally
realizes that it is the girl he loves
and not her puppet, and his con-
fession OF this love inspires the star
to give a magnificent performance
that assures the pair of success and
happiness. Gene Raymond who
plays opposite Miss Harvey, gives a
performance that outdoes anything
