An echo of the District Of Colum-

arose yesterday, when it was learned
Arno B. Cammerer, director Of the
National Park Service. Interior De-
partment, has requested the Washing
ton Hoover Airport firm TO secure
Federal permit for extending its run
ways on land claimed by the United
States, westward of Columbia Island.
The Government contends that
plans for the runways encroach
upon land, the title to which is in the
United States. based on the high
water mark of 179l and fortified by
q line Of Supreme Court decisions.
Court action was forecast. but Cam
merer warned that If an appropriate
permit be not secured, 1T will be
necessary to initiate appropriate ac-
ton to protect the interests of the
United States"
A modernization program Is under
way at the Washington Airport. but
its manager, Samuel j. Solomon, was
out OF the city over the week end
and could not be reached for COM
ment on the park chiefs letter.
The letter was sent after Federal
surveyors went to the site and made
flrst-hand surveys a few days ago and
determined, to the satisfaction Of the
Government. that the airport proposes
to project the new runways across
Military road on to property to which
the United States lays claim. Attor-
neys for the National Park Service,
particularly Louis F. Prick. have been
active in the case and c. Marshall
Finnan, superintendent of the Ma
tional Capital Parks, has taken live
ly interest in the proceedings.
The Department of Justice, which
took leading part in the District of
Columbia Virginia boundary dispute,
for the elucidation of which Congress
set up a special tribunal, Is expected
to step into the picture again, with
the Washington Airport a party, If it
Is decided to push the newest phase of
the case into the courts.
The park authorities hint that the
airport concern is likewise "encroach-
ing" upon land Of the Experimental
Farm of the Department of Agricul-
ture, but as yet that branch of the
Government has not been publicly
heard from.

able to produce cakes of quality that
is unknown out in Tenleytown, where
the altitude is 40 feet. For that
matter, District cakes should be pretty
good In general, considering that the
approximate mean altitude is only $50

The effect Of altitude on cake max.
ing was discovered by home econom-
lists at the State Experiment Station
in Colorado, and they passed the in
formation on to the consumers divi-
sion. In. making the discovery pub

mented:
"A point Is reached at an altitude
above 10000 feet where q cake Of

This, as any one can see, eliminates

BROADER POWERS
ASKED FOR BOARD
Miss Morss Urges Changes
to Deal With Juvenile
Delinquency.

Broadening of the powers Of the
Board of Public Welfare to deal with
the problems of juvenile delinquency
is urged by Miss Patricia Morse, chief
of the Division of Child Welfare. in
her annual report, made public yes
terday by Welfare Director Elwood
Street.
Changes relating to child welfare
administration, the licensing and su-
pervision of boarding homes for chill
oren, and the birth registration law
were studied during the last fiscal
year, but drafts of proposed legisla-
ton were not completed before the
past session of Congress ended.
Miss Morse explained that the pro-
posed changes retained all the powers
and duties previously vested in the
Welfare Board. but added others
deemed needed for a more unified and
flexible service.
Provisions Suggested.
Among these were:
Authority to investigate the family
circumstances of children reported
destitute or neglected. There is no
specific authority in the Board of Pub
lie Welfare law providing for this, -
Miss Morse said. Adequate under
standing, based on all the facts, may
often show that separation of the
child from his family by commitment
is unnecessary"
To provide supervision in the child'S
own home, and relief if necessary, to
prevent disorganization of the home.
The present act makes no provision
for family relief.
Authority to assume custody and
provide support for any destitute child
who cannot be properly cared for in
his own home. with the consent Of
parents or guardian. There are many
instances of parents temporarily un-
able to carry their responsibility, for
whom the court room is an added
ordeal, and an ordeal for the child.
| when 1t Is necessary to accept the
child for care through this proceed
ing" Miss Morss said.
Care for Children.
W PlONluC 4Oi, pAdll
for, children born out of wedlock.
Many such children come to the at
tention of the welfare board as de-
pendents and delinquents, Miss
Morss said.
"As a preventive service, it is i'm
portant that the board be equipped
with a staff with special knowledge to
give understanding and assistance
before the birth of a child. to aid in
making practical plans for proper pre-
natal confinement care and to assist
in initiating and following through
legal proceedings whereby the mother
may gain support for the child from
the father" she said.
Miss Morss said II additional social
workers, a psychologist, psychiatrist
and three more clerks were needed by
her division. She said the daily aver
age number of children under care Of
the board last fiscal year was l,75l.
Marital conflicts as factor in the
disorganization of the family seem to
be increasingly a cause in the neglect
situations in which the division is
asked to give service she reported.
In almost go per cent Of the problems
of the neglected children handled by
| the board this was a factor, she added.

AS for reaction to the court decision
which, coming after its death blow to
NRA last year, casts shadow over
much other New Deal legislation now
before it for review, no one single
proposal has yet come to the fore.
Rather than partisan, the Lewiston of
sentiment is between conservatives
and liberals. That is but natural.
Constitutional lawyers are now study
ing the situation, and whether a rec
ommendation to increase the size of
the court to permit the President to
name additional liberal justices, or a
recommendation to restrict its pow
ers by law or by amending the Con-
stitution will result, cannot be fore
told. The issue will take form when
the court hands down the rest of its
decisions in the coming weeks, cover
ing such big laws as the Social Sc
curity Act, the one covering labor dis
putes, the ones regulating stock ex-
changes, and others.
And in all his news, combined with
the Presidents Jackson Day address
and the meeting of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, astounding develop
ments over in Senator Nye's munitions
investigating committee have almost
been lost sight of. More Of that, and
of the accompanying subject of pend
ing neutrality legislation, next week.
