Drunks Who Received
Work Sentence Vanish

Municipal Judge Armand W.
Scott's plan to rehabilitate chronic
drunkards by giving them outdoor
employment appears to have hit a
snag.
Judge Scott said Friday he wished
Congress would appropriate funds
to establish farm where drunk
ards could be given manual labor
and medical care, looking toward
their ultimate absorption in the war
effort. He expressed himself as be-
ing tired of seeing wasted man
power" going to Jail on convictions
of intoxication.
Isadore Glasser, owner of several
auto wrecking yards, read in The
Star of the judges plan and. called
the jurist with an offer to put a
couple of his prisoners to work at
81 day handling scrap metal.
Judge Scott selected two men and
directed them to Mr. Glasser's place.
So far as is known only one
showed up. He was told to come
back Monday to work, but nothing
more was seen Of him.
Judge Scott is still hopeful, how
ever.
If We can save one out Of 100,
we will be well paid" Judge Scott
said, adding: II am hoping that
enough interest will be aroused to
start something big such as a work
farm to which judges could sentence
men for longer terms and feel that
they were doing them no injustice
but rather a good deed"

Lost Scrap Pile
Is Located;
Half Disappears
Burleith Collection,
Missed by Walker,
Found Block Away

The tribulations of conducting a
metal scrap campaign are many.
But Horace Walker, executive Sec
retary of the District of Columbia
Salvage Committee, thought he had
seen them all and wouldn't be sur
prised again-until yesterday, when
he discovered he had lost a scrap
pile.
Mr.. Walker was making routine
check of the retail junk dealers in
order to close his books on the sec
ond Sunday drive of September 81
when the mystery of Burleith turned
up. The Burleith emergency sal
wage depot just wasn't there.
You could have knocked Mr..
Walker over with non-ferrous
feather duster when the dealer as
signed the depot reported:
"Burleith? We don't know any
thing about it." u.
But it's gone," Mr.. Walker ex-
claimed. Some one has made of
with the Burleith scrap pile!"
The dealer insisted he didn't get
the scrap.
A search by telephone failed to
reveal the location of the mysterious
junk pile, or the location of where it
had been, If it had been. Finally,
however, a photographer and re-
porter from The Star managed to
find half of it. Where the other half
has gone is a mystery.
Residents report that several
anonymous trucks had paused by
the scrap pile and loaded up. Mr..
Walker would like to know some-
thing about that.
Several explanations have been
suggested. In the first place, the
scrap pile is behind the residence at
1000 Thirty seventh street NV, in
stead of a block away on White
haven parkway, west of Thirty
seventh street, its advertised loca-
tion. And it has remained where
1t is, apparently, because junk
dealer thought he was not supposed
to pick it up.
Residents Of the area are happy
the pile has been located, anyhow.
Neighborhood youngsters have been
having a fine time rolling boilers
up and down the alley and exploit
ing generally the noise-making pos
sibilities of pile of scrap iron.
It's had the people around there
mighty unhappy.

6. That the business houses pre-
pare inventories of scrap on Thurs
day, October %, the first day of
the drive, by calling in the necessary
help in the morning when stores
will be closed, and that the drive,
geared to these findings, proceed
on the following day.
7. That proceeds from the sale of
heavy" scrap to junk dealers be
turned over to civilian defense.
8. That heavy" scrap metal COL
lections among business houses since
July l be applied against the Dis
trlct's six-month quota of "a ,0OO, 600
pounds. That the records be brought
up to date on these collections.
9. That since, according to Horace
Walker, executive secretary of the
District Salvage Committee, 80 per
cent of the heavy" scrap can be
handled by business trucks" the
remaining 10 per cent be handled by
the District Salvage Committee.
10. That the labor organiza tions,
as well as business concerns, be rep
resented in the heavy" scrap drive.
See Smaller Supply.
During the course of the discus
sion, the businessmen were in vir-
tual accord on the following points:
l. Business, commercial and in
dustrial operators have been SAL
vaging scrap for many months. For
this reason the potential supply is
not as great as many suspect.
2. Due to priorities, business, COM
mercial and industrial interests are
outstanding scrap stocks more care
fully than ever before and are
finding uses for items which, before
Pearl Harbor, would have been
scrapped.
Regarding point No. /, Alexander
Jones of the Post politely scored the
businessmen for the philosophy such
an attitude suggests.
You all talk down your chances
OF getting great stocks of scrap, but
you'll all come up with twice as
much as you promise" Mr.. Jones
said.
I'VE haven't started to attack the
scrap problem. There's twice as
much in every basement as we have
pulled out.
The newspapers want to drama
tie what business is doing for the
salvage effort, the way we drama
doing. You men should allow us to
inform the public on the fine Job
you are doing"
Col. Arthur appointed Mr.. Xanten
as a comittee of one to determine
the site for the heavy" scrap depot
or depots.

The committee planned to meet
soon with its chairman, Col. Joseph
D. Arthur. jr., to plan the best means
for the COLLECTION Of business, COM
mercial and industrial scrap metal.
The whirlwind drive is expected to
last several days, possibly a week.
The businessmen attending yes
terday's meeting agreed to accept
the detailed planning which will be
worked out by the Commissioners
committee.
William A. Xanten, District refuse
superintendent, opposed the sugges-
ton made at yesterdays meeting
that his workers assist in the COM
mercial scrap drive, pointing out
that the Sunday superdrives of Sep
tember 20 and u cost the. District
government approximately $4,000.
Mr.. Xanten's revelation that the
cost of mobilizing ITO District trucks
and almost 900 workers for the Sun
day drives approximated $4,000,
came in answer to the question by
William j. Mileham, chief of air.

which all representatives yesterday

2. That in order to avoid rehan-

business houses be left to the block
lieutenants functioning under the

Schools Studied
Glasses May Open
At $50 AN. to Cut
Bus Traffic Load

William A. Van Duzer, director of
vehicles and traffic, said today a
proposal that $4,000 elementary
school children start classes at $50
am. instead of o'clock, to relieve
traf1lc congestion, may be taken
direct to the Board of Education. +"
Mr.. Van Duzer is making a study,
ne said, of figures presented to him
by Supt. of Schools Frank w. Bal
lou that 81 per cent of elementary
school children walk to school. and
50 per cent use either street cars
or buses. Junior, senior and voca-
tlonal school children were put on
The $3.50 starting hour last spring.
Mr.. Van Duzer asked for the
hgures of elementary school trans
portat1on usage last week after
Joseph Eastman, Defense Trans
portation Co-ordinator, said Amer
lean youngsters are "softies" afraid
TO walk couple of miles to school
IKE their fathers and grand
fathers.
Staggered Hours Discussed.
Percentages of the older children
Who use transportation facilities,
school officials indicated, are much
higher than the As per cent of the
younger children on buses or street.
cars. More than AZ per cent of the
senior high school students use
buses or streetcars; % per cent of
The junior high school students;
81 per cent Of the vocational school
students, and 65 per cent of the
teachers college students.
Discussing the possibility of
staggered hours for the younger
children; DR.. Ballou said, II see
no reason to disrupt the lives of
$4,000 elementary school children
because 3,297 out of 50,674 ride the
bus or street car"
I'VE must decide this question on
the basis of the public good" he
continued. "It must be proved that
this small number of elementary
pupils riding the buses and street.
cars are depriving the public"
The elementary school children
were kept at their regular starting
hour when the others were shifted
last spring, it was indicated, not only
because so few of them used trans
portation facilities, but also because
it was believed they would have be-
come so tired by the $3.50 pm. clos
ing hour.
Data on Travel Volume Given.
The little ones" said an elemen-
tary school official, "do not learn so
much when they start later. They
are used to early rising and early
going to bed. The later hour in
school would be too much Tor them"
The transportation habits of ele-
mentary school children, as released
by the Office of Boise Bristor, school
statistician, are as follows: 1876, 80
per cent, ride the bus; 1921, q per
cent, ride the street car; 1871. 35
per cent, use private cars; 313, 6
per cent, ride their bicycles, and 49,
283, 9l.3 per cent, walk to school,
A greater proportion, 928 per cent,
walk home from school because their
parents drive them only in the
morning.
The great percentage of element
airy school children are able to walk
to school, 1t was explained, because
elementary schools are much more
numerous than secondary ones, as
many as 10 and II being located in
