NICHOLS FAV0RS
| JURY TRIALS TO
| SAFEGUARD BILL
Also Would Open Records of
| Court to Block Secrecy
Criticism"
REPORT BY WEDNESDAY
| AIM OF SUBCOMMITTEE
Adjournment in June May Pre-.
vent Action on Plan at
This Session.
BY JAMES e. CHINN.

The Norton bill to broaden the
powers of Juvenile Court and modern
ize its procedure probably will be
revised by the special subcommittee
of the House District Committee which
has just concluded public hearings
on the measure.
Representative Nichols, Democrat,
Of Oklahoma, chairman of the SUBJ
committee, Is known to favor changes
that will more adequately setout the
safeguards that the bills opponents
believe are not clearly defined. He
also wants to incorporate In the pro-
posed new legislation some of the best
features of existing Juvenile Court
law.
First Of all, Nichols is anxious to
assure the right of every defendant
to a trial by jury. not because he
believes children should at any time
be subjected to such procedure. but
merely to prevent the bills consti-
tutionality from being challenged in
the courts.
Jury Trial Provision.
IT don't think a jury trial belongs
in a Juvenile Court" said Nichols.
But I believe provision should be
made for jury trials for those who
demand them to protect the bill. I
am sure a vicious attack might be
made on the bills constitutionality by
its enemies If right to a jury trial
Is denied"
Nichols also plans to have a pro-
vision relating to the privacy Of
Juvenile Court proceedings modified
to meet the objections of those who
fear that under the proposed new
set-up, persons interested in a par
ticular case might be unable to get
any information about it.
II see no reason for keeping the
records of the court secret" he said.
Provision should be made for inter-
ested parties to see the records.
!, personally, don't want to set up
bureau and say to it, you are hidden
from view
Nichols, however, is strongly in
favor of the general plan embodied
in the bill to change the present
criminal procedure of the court to
chancery system. Likewise, he
firmly believes in the provision to
exclude the general public from the
courts proceedings.
Like Executive Session"
ct don't think q Juvenile Court
functions as well before q crowd Of
morbid curiosity seekers as well as
in a proceeding that We members Of
Congress might describe as an exec
utive session." he declared.
Representative Diksen, Republic
can, Of Illinois, an active member
of the specia, subcommittee, Is
understood to share Nichols views.
An effort will be made to complete
the proposed revisions in the bill in
time to report it to the full District
Committee Wednesday.
Even if the bill is placed on the
House calendar in the near future,
it is doubtful whether it will be acted
on at this session of Congress If
present plans are carried out to ad-
journ the first week in June. The
Sisson bill to repeal the so-called "red
rider" to the 1896 District appropria-
ton act will have the right Of way
on the next District day." May 25,
and If Congress adjourns before June
9. that will be the last day of the
session devoted to District legislation.

CITY HEADS SILENT
/. ON B[ANT0N TALK.
"Matters of Urgent Import
ance" Discussed by Texan
and Commissioners.

The Commissioners today declined
to state what were the matters OF
urgent important" which Representa-
tive Blanton laid before them at q
sudden visit to the District Building
late yesterday.
The conference was staged at the
request Of Blanton, who said he had
questions of great importance which
he wished to present to all three Com
missioners and not to Just one of
them.
After being closeted for IS minutes
with Commissioners George e. Allen
and Dan I. Sultan, Blanton told re-
porters he had invited the Commis-
sioners to attend the Texas Centennial
Exposition. Asked If other questions
had been discussed, the Representative
said:
"Oh, we gassed about a lot of
things. ! have no statement further
than that" He then invited reporters
to come to the exposition and prom
ised them II they drove cars in Texas
like Representative Zioncheck In
Puerto Rico nothing will be done
about it. Blanton chuckled over that
statement.
It was understood that District
budget problems were among ques-
tions discussed at the conference.
Blanton Is striving to reduce the
Federal payment toward District ex-
penses from $5,700,00 to $2,700, 600.
The Commissioners said they could
not reveal the conference subjects
beyond stating that they were not
committed on any proposition, that
Blanton had not asked them to pledge
themselves on anything.
Melvin G. Hazen. president of the
Board OF Commissioners, was not
present at the conference. He had

ALLEN WILL OFFER
DEMOCRATS PLEA
OF D. c. FOR VOTE
Congress Representation
Appeal to Be Made
at Philadelphia.
PRIMARY FOR DISTRICT
IS PLANNED FOR MAY 20
Balloting Will Be Mere Ratifca'
ton of List of Delegates
0. KID by Committee.
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

Washington's plea for national rep
resentation in Congress and the right
to vote for President and Vice Presi-
dent will be presented to the Demo-
cratic Convention at Philadelphia next
month by Commissioner George E.
Allen.
This was decided on last night by the
Democratic Central Committee for the
District when it met to make final
arrangements for the local primary
May 20, at which IL delegates and S
alternates to the national convention
will be elected.
Seventeen Democrats had filed for
places on the local delegation. The
District Is entitled to only 6 votes in
the Democratic conclave, but the Gen.
trail Committee decided last night to
send IL delegates with half vote each
and alternates.
Contest Eliminated.
This plan enables all who filed to go
to the convention and eliminates any
contest. For this reason the primary
will be merely formal ratification of
the list. The Central Committee,
nevertheless, decided to designate six
polling places in different parts Of the
city to give local Democrats an oppor-
tunity to vote, John B. Colpoys,
chairman ofs the committee, an
nounced. The polling places will be
announced Tuesday.
The committee decided that, as one
of the city Commissioners, Allen was
the appropriate member OF the dele
CATION to present the arguments for
national representation to the Plat
form Committee in Philadelphia, and
also to the convention.
Commissioner Allen will be assisted
by Colpoys in urging Democratic sup
port of a Constitutional amendment
that would give District residents rep
resentation In both branches Of Con-
gress and in the Electoral College.
Colpoys, q veteran leader in the local
Democratic organization, has advo-
Gated the national representation
plank at previous party conventions
for q number of years. He is a men,
ber of the Citizens Joint Committee
on National Representation.
McConihe Nomination Ratified.
The local Democratic leaders also
ratified LAST night the nomination OF
Malcolm S. McConihe, realtor and
builder, to be the Districts new Ma
tional Committeeman and Mrs. j.
Borden Hartman for reelection as
National Committeewoman. Nc
Conihe will succeed John F. Costello,
who is retiring after "a years as local
Democratic leader.
A plank on national representation
for the people of the District also will
be urged at the Republican National
Convention in Cleveland. Senator
Capper. Republican, of Kansas, for
mer chairman Of the Senate District
Committee, announced several weeks
ago he would ask for such a plank
at Cleveland. Senator Capper is CO.
author of the resolution dealing with
the subject, now pending in CONGRESS.
