JUVENILE COURTS
BILL IS BLOCKED
Delay Until Next Session of
Congress Is Blamed on
Judiciary Subcommittee.

The move initiated by various well
fare and legal groups to modernize and
humanize Juvenile Court procedure in
the District has been halted until the
next session of Congress.
A bill introduced by Chairman Nor
ton of the House District Committee
which would change the courts pro-
ceoure from criminal 10 chanCery
system is destined to die a natural
death with adjournment of the Sew
enty-fourth Congress.
Representative Nichols. Democrat. OF
Oklahoma. who served as chairman of
the special subcommittee of the House
District Committee, which recently
conducted hearings. revealed today
that the fate of the measure at this
session of Congress is definitely sealed.
Redraft Not Completed.
First, Nichols said, the reconstruc-
ton of the bill as directed by the sub
committee has not been completed by
the Legislative Drafting Committee of
the House. Second, he plans to leave
Washington Friday to keep a series of
political engagements in Oklahoma
and will not return unless the present
session is extended until late in the
Summer, and that is very unlikely.
However. Nichols is not disappointed
In the first place. he explained, there
is little likelihood that Congress would
pass on the bill in the closing hours
of the present session. Rather than
report it to the House with "imperfec-
tions, he said, he would welcome de-
lay to give the Legislative Drafting
Committee ample time in which to
prepare perfect" measure.
The BILL" Nichols declared. will
be whipped into first-ciass shape by
the Drafting Committee and reintro-
duced as soon as Congress convenes in
January. Il am sure there will be no
delay then in having it enacted"
judiciary Group Blamed.
Mrs. Norton pointed out that the
blame for the delay rested on the
Judiciary Subcommittee, where the
bill languished for several months after
introduction. Finally Representative
Palmisano, Democrat. of Maryland
chairman of the subcommittee, re-
turned it to the full committee without
recommendations and special sub
committee was appointed to conduct
public hearings. Palmisano's excuse
for holding up the bill was that the
Commissioners had not made report
on it.
AS revised in obedience to instruc-
tions OF the special subcommittee, the
measure will eliminate some OF the
objections registered against various
provisions during the hearings. but
will retain the fundamental principle
of protecting children against criminal
proceedings in Juvenile Court.

NEW ROCK CREEK
BRIDGE WILL OPEN
Span North of P Street to
Admit Traffic Tomorrow.
Slide Still Problem.

The new bridge spanning Rock
Greek just north of the P Street
Bridge. across the valley, will be open
for traffic at am. tomorrow, but
motorists will find bottle neck, about
a block and a half away, upstream of
the @ Street Bridge, due to an earthen
slide that occurred more than year
ago.
Public Works Administrator Ickes
granted an allotment of $4,000 sew
sral months ago. officials said. to stabil-
ize the side of the valley clear up the
present slide and prevent further slips
of earth. Bureau of Public Roads ofh-
cials said they had placed plans for
the suggested stabilizing OF the valley
side In the hands of C. Marshall Fin
nan, superintendent of the National
Capital parks. two months ago. No
work has yet been started on clearing
away the traffic obstruction, nor has
the bureau called for bids for the per-
manent improvement, officials said.
The Bureau of Public Roads studied
the problem last Fall and later drew
I'D plans and turned them over to
the park chief. The problem seems
to revolve around the question as to
whether it is better to construct re-
tanning wall or to attempt to anchor
the earth, far up the valley sides, to
prevent future avalanches.
A number of residents along Massa-
chusetts avenue. among them Frank
]. Hogan. 1920 Massachusetts avenue,
found portions of their back yards
were clipped off when the earth slid
into Rock Greek Valley at that point,
due to heavy rains early last year. A
major portion of the landslide oc-
CURED in April, 1895, but some took
place a little later. At the time Of
ficials said they wanted to wait
through the Winter to give the earth
a chance to become stabilized and as
certain if further slides would occur.
In the interim, engineers of the
Bureau of Public Roads made num-
ber of studies on the best way to
handle the problem and finished their
work in April, they said today. Now
they are waiting for the park authori-
ties to act.

cate Work Is Becoming
More Plentiful

Numerous calls for workers are be-
ing received at the Vance county
branch here of the State Employment
Service, w. M. Burwell, manager OF
the office, stated today. The same is
true in other offices over the State

Merchants and other employers are
calling for workers in larger num-
bers, and "to furnish qualified work
ers we must have a steady flow of
competent applicants registered al
the employment office" Mr.. Burwell
said. He stated that a number of peo-
pie were being placed daily in re-
gular and temporary employment. AT
the present time there are calls for
the following: Six sales people, men
and women; two housekeepers, one
practical nurse, a number of maids
and various other jobs.
The employment manager urged
that young ladies and men with sales
ability call at his office on the Sec
ond floor of the court house and re-
gister, and those already registered
may call at the office for any of the
register is guaranteed job, but those
who are capable are asked to register
for work for future referrals. Every
applicant desiring work should call al
the office at least every 80 days Sc
that the card may be retained in the
active file, it was explained.
1--WE furnish all labor on PWA jobs
and some on WPA, but our chief pur-
pose in the New Deal is to promote
private placements, which in time
will reduce the relief rolls and helI
bring back normal conditions" Mr.
Burwell stated.
1t was emphasized that the employ
ment office is not a relief agency, MOI
does it have anything to do with the
price paid a worker. The objective is
to operate an employment service OF

ployee and to fit the proper person
into each place.
Employers desiring help are asked

It's Friday, 18th,
Second for 1886

Today was Friday the 18th, the
second and last Friday 18th in the
present calendar year.
1t used to be generally looked
upon as a day of bad luck or no
luck at all. Now most folks pay no
attention to it, discarding super
situations entirely, and some even
find now and then that, instead of
being a day of bad luck, it really
brings good luck.
At any rate, Friday the 18th
passed with little notice today, and
everybody was apparently just as
well off.
