pitfalls, at q salary of $500 year, has
been revived in connection with the

Melvin C. Hazen said today. The plan
was offered last year. but the neces-
sary appropriation was denied.
DA George C. Rutland, health Off
Ger, said he would be agreeable to
the plan, but held that more i'm
mediate need was strengthening Of the
administrative and nursing staffs at
Gallinger Hospital, because of the
great load of patients handled there.
DR.. Edgar A. Bocock, Gallinger SUI
perintendent, who is being mentioned
for the suggested post, now is carry
ing too heavy load of responsibility
and should be given an assistant su-
perintendent, the health officers said.
DR.. Ruhland explained that since
the hospital administration was trans
ferred to the Health Department last
July, the work of general co-ordinator
for hospital services had been handled
by DR.. Daniel L. Seckinger, assistant
health oficer.
It is expected the proposal will be
reviewed by officials Of the Budget
Bureau in their current study Of

JUVENILE COURT
BILL T0BEPUS
District Measure Awaits
Conference to Adjust
Differences.
By J. A. O'LEARY.

One of the first District measures
likely to receive attention when Con-
gress reconvenes November IS is the
proposed new Juvenile Court law.
Although the November session has
been called to deal with list of major
national questions. the local Juvenile
Court bill is in strategic position for
early action. 1t has already passed
both House and Senate and awaits
only adjustment in conference of diff
ferences between the two branches
over detailed provisions.
The bill, designed to bring the local
procedure in children's cases more
into line with modern practice else
where. passed the House early in
March. but did not get through the
Senate until a week before adjourn
ment in August. The conferees held
one meeting, but the end of the session
was so near they decided to let the Job
of ironing out amendments go until
after the recess.
Early Conference Seen.
There will be nothing to prevent
the conferees from resuming deliber-
ations promptly while the House and
Senate are debating national issues,
and they probably will call an early
meeting.
For the House the conferees are
Representatives Palmisano OF Mary
land. Nichols of Oklahoma and DIRK
sen of Illinois. The Senate will be rep
resented at the conference table by
Senators King of Utah, Copeland OF
New York, Tydings of Maryland and
Austin of Vermont.
The House bill was altered consider
ably before it passed the Senate ana
these changes must all be acted on or
modified by the conferees before the
measure can be put through the final
stages of enactment.
The question of modernizing the
Juvenile Court code has been debated
by congressional committees for long
period of years without final action
being reached.
New Form of Procedure.
The basic aim of the legislation Is
to establish a form of procedure In
which emphasis would be placed on
the welfare and protection of the
child rather than on prosecution and
punishment. AS passed by the Senate,
however, a number of the original fea-
lures of the plan were modified or
eliminated.
One question to be decided by the
conferees is whether the corporation
counsefs Office or an officer of the
court should have the power to decide
when the court should take formal
jurisdiction Of case, after the pre-
liminary information has been studied.
The Senate also rewrote the proce-
dure for appeals and struck out a
House clause giving the Juvenile Court
Judge discretionary power to desig-
nate a social worker of the court as
commissioner to hear cases in the
first instance. There are a number OF
other amendments in other parts OF
the bill.
Chairman King of the Senate Dis
trict Committee is due back in Wash
ington from Hawaii by the end of next
week and plans early consideration of
an outline of local problems for con-
sideration by his committee this winter.

Tomorrow.

The staff of the National Capital

that the District Commissioners

fortunate" if historic Fort Totten is

of the Washington park system for
other purposes.
