There was no dismal word about taxes, saving the hint that the so-called nuisance" levies might be enlarged, and that three cents was not too much to pay for the mail transportation of a letter.
 The major appointment from the White House was the naming of MT Frankfurter to the Su- preme Court. Though the selec- ton did not come as a surprise, it was counter to a widely cir culated rumor. It was believed that the vacancy might be filled from the West, section of the country that for a generation has had little to say from the Bench; but the recog- nized ability of Mir. Frankfurter spoke loudly in his behalf, and it is probable that his high re- gard for the New Deal at least did not work toward keeping him out of office.

Congress logged along through it's opening days without giving much indication of a desire to clip the wings of the Executive, but the scissors came out at last, and a few feathers were short ened. A subcommittee in the House took a quarter of a billion from a billion dollars request for money to maintain the w P A, both figures being in round num- berS only. Moreover, legislation was proposed whereby the plac- ing of more than thirty thousand relief office holders under the Civil Service would be made inn possible. The speed with which the subcommittee action was ad Vanced toward a more substan- tial status indicates that perhaps the present Congress intends to have it's will to larger extent than did the one which immed- lately preceded it.

The business likely to be before Congress during the next week or ten days includes amendments to the Wagner Labor Act mostly brought forward by the Ameri- can Federation of Labor and touching, in some instances, up on the controversy between that organization and the CIO. Ma tonal Defense is expected 10 pre- cipitate some sharp talk. Foreign Relations probably will cause entertaining strife. There is a non-partisan adverse criticism of what is referred to somewhat loosely as our foreign policy" :" From a Democratic congressional source comes the information that "there is too much talk about what other nations are do- ing and not enough about our own domestic problems, which include ten million unemployed" If one prefers Republican advice, it can be offered in an equally succinct form: Tt seems to me that if we would only take care of our people at home, we'll have about all that we can do."

Juvenile Delinquency Increase
Cited in Plea for Assistant
Diversity Of Offenses
Shown in Probation
Officers Report
BY BEN H. PEARSE.
IS staff Correspondent OF The Star.

ROCKVILLE. Md, March Ii
The range of juvenile delinquencies
is bounded only by the limits of the
juvenile imagination, Mrs. Sadie
Wisner probation officer of the
Montgomery County Juvenile Court,
says in report pointing to the
need for an assistant to aid in
handling a growing case list.
Everything from bank robbery to
shooting craps, from fishing without
license to desertion by a 16-year-
old husband of his 14-year-old wife
comes before the Juvenile Court
during the course of a year. Dur
ing the 10 months ended March l a
total of 148 children appeared in
court. as many as during the en-
tire II months of the previous year,
Mrs. Wisner explained
The number of cases referred to
the court is steadily increasing, re-
quiring more investigation and su-
pervision in order to attempt solu-
tions to the varied assortment of Of
fenses. Mrs. Wisner pointed out. Of
the 148 cases reported during the
last 10 months, 101 were delin-
quents and Al were classed as de-
pendent and neglected. About 10
per cent of the cases were before
the court for the first time, all but
3 of the remainder for the second,
Mrs. Wisner reported.
Many cases, like that of the three
bank robbers, all under II years. who
twice entered a Rockville bank
through ventilator in broad day
light and absconded with $40. are
taken care of by placing the Offend
ers In homes where proper super
vision can be given. About IS per
cent are dismissed at the Juvenile
Court hearing, when restitution has
been made and no serious parental
or home problem is present In only
about 10 per cent of the cases is it
necessary to send the offenders to
an institution.
Nearly 80 per cent OF the cases
are the result of neglect or conflict
in the home, or incompatibility or
separation of the parents, the re-
naming 10 per cent being attributed
mostly to thoughtlessness. In the
latter category are two boys who
nearly wrecked a train by changing
a signal light to see what would hap
pen, and three others, who nearly
accomplished the same result by put
ting several ties on the tracks while
playing. Only one case of premedi-
tated violence was reported, that of
three youths who planned to hold up
and rob a man. The plan failed
and they were sent to an institution
for several thefts uncovered during
the investigation.

Revision Plan
Governor Stresses Fact
Thot Responsibility
Rests With Senute'
By the Associated Press.


ANNAPOLIS, March 11.-Gov.
O'Conor today made it plain that
revision of the racetrack revenue
measure was strictly the Legislature s
own problem.
The Senate this week discarded
the proposal of the Governors rev.
enue commission to add / per cent
OF the betting take" at mile race
tracks and adopted a measure ia
vored by track operators.
The Senate proposal would abolish
the present $4,000 daily license fee
required of mile tracks, and in It's
stead would substitute a fiat 10 per
cent cut of the betting gross. The
State would receive 4 per cent and
the tracks 6 per cent.
Gov. OConor said responsibility"
for the change rested with the Sen
ate where the revision was made.
In Budget Message.
With regard to the race track
revenue, every one knows my recon-
mendations," Gov. OConor said.
they were contained in my budget
message, and proposed retention of
the $4,000 license fee and an addi-
tlonal l per cent tax on betting
totals"
Gov. O'Conor would not say
whether he would support the re-
vlsed race track revenue bill, nor
would he comment on the proposal,
advanced by House opponents of the
measure, that the State should be
protected by guarantee clause
which would give the State at least
as much revenue as at present OBJ
tanned.
Albert L. Sklar, Democrat, of
Baltimore, today proposed that
Jervls Spencer, jr., chairman of
the racing commission, be called
before the House Ways and Means
Committee for discussion of the
Senate proposal.
