HOUSE D. {.
GROUP

Disposition of three District bills
ON the Juvenile Court, racetrack
and judges retirement-by the
House District Committee at its
meeting tomorrow was predicted
by committee members today
1t is presupposed that the
Norton bill liberalizing juvenile
Court procedure will be considered
by the committee at tomorrow's S
session, and it is understood that
the committee will approve the
measure and report it to the
House.
The bill, introduced by Repre-
sentative Mary T. Norton CD. of
New Jersey. chairman of the
group, would extend the powers ot
the Juvenile Court judge, at The
same time setting up a procedure
by which the court would become
more of an adjustment medium
in juvenile delinquency cases than
regular tribunal.
Representative Jack Nichols
Cd. of Oklahoma, chairman u
the special subcommittee ap-
pointed to study the measure, Is
ready to report the bill to the
full committee tomorrow with a
few minor changes. Otherwise
the bill is the same as one nitro.
duced in the last session by Mrs.
Norton.
The racing bill would legalize
racing in the District and would
set up a rae ng board here. This
measure was likewise introduced
by Mrs. Norton.
The third measure, also D
Norton bill, would establish a re.
tirement plan for judges of the
local Police, Municipal and Juve-
nile court. 1t provides for the
payment of one-half of the salaries
of judges who retire at the age
of IS, and one-third to those re,
tiring at 60 years of age.

MD. u. BOXING
TO Be PR0BED
BY KENNEDY

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Feb. "A
complete investigation of reports
that the University of Maryland
boxing team is tainted with pro.
feSsionalism will be made by Sena.
tor Raymond E. Kennedy CD,
of Baltimore, he announced last
night.
Senator Kennedy is chairman
of the Senate committee on the
retrenchment of State expenses
and is at present conducting
probe into expenditures of various
departments and institutions.
Pay Roll Produced
He produced the pay roll of the
University of Maryland last night
and it was pointed out that listed
on the student pay roll was the
name of IN. Lombardo," who
drew $17.91 for the month OF
January.
Senator Kennedy said he par
ticularly wished to investigate the
alleged use of professionals and
semi-professionals on the univer-
sity boxing team, in view of the
death of William Judson East
ham, 18, who died as the result
of a bout with Mike Lombardo.
Sport at Stake
Kennedy said:
ut is perfectly apparent that
q professional boxer or semi
professional one, drilled in the
tactics that are in common
usage in the professional ring,
would have an opponent who
had learned only amateur box
ing at distinct disadvantage.
ITO put such men up against
clean kids who fight for the love
of their school and love of sport
is obviously unfair.
"In my opinion, if it is found
that such practices do exist the
life of college boxing is at stake"
