Social Agency Council
In Alexandria Urges
Juvenile Court Study
Resolution Proposes
Inquiry by National
Probation Association

Authorization of a study of Alex
andria's Juvenile Court and deten-
ton problems today was being urged
on the City Council by the Council
of Social Agencies of that city.
Resolutions recommending the in
vestigation be made by the National
Probation Association and authoriz-
ing the president to appoint a COM
mittee to take the problem before the
City Council were adopted last
night after Mrs. Marjorie Bell of
the National Probation Association
had addressed the Council of Social
Agencies.
Stating that she has had the
dubious pleasure" of visiting the
city's detention quarters in the po-
lice station, Mrs. Bell said any COM
r1unity which permits such condi-
tons Is creating criminals.
The speaker pointed out that sur
veys have proved the cost of caring
for child In . boarding home is 500
a year, whereas INSTITUTIONAL costs
run anywhere from $50 to $3.50 a
year for each child.
Remodeling Opposed.
The Alexandria City Council last
month authorized the city manager
to apply for Federal funds to re-
model the old alnshouse into a de-
tention home, and women's clubs in
the city have prepared a petition
asking that immediate action be
taken to provide suitable detention
facilities,
After a visit yesterday to the aims
house and an examination of the
proposed plans for remodeling, Mrs.
Bell said that she felt the building
was too large for the city's needs
and that the cost of maintaining it
would be unnecessarily great.
During a panel discussion led by
Judge James R. DUNCAN OF the
Juvenile Court, Mrs. Bell recon-
mended the employment tof police
women as means of checking de-
linquency.
Asked to comment on the value
Of curfew for young people, adop-
ton of which is being urged in
Alexandria by the Churchwomen's
Association, Mrs. Bell said that
there seemed to be trend through
out the country to revive such ordi-
nances, long since discontinued, but
in her opinion the plan was unwork-
able and gave children disrespect
for the law.
Officers Nominated.
She urged consideration of male
as well as a female probation officer
as a help in dealing with Juvenile
Court problems. @
During brief business meeting
presided over by D. c. Book, presi-
dent, the Nominating Committees
slate of officers for 1943 was pre-
sented by Mrs. Albert Miller, chair
man, and was unanimously elected.
They are as follows: ~
For president, the Rev. William
Basom of Beverly Hills Community
Church; first vice president, the
Rev. Ernest A. de Bordenaye, rec
tor of st. Pauls Church; second
vice president, Mrs. Harry Coun-
cilor;; corresponding secretary, Mr..
Book; recording secretary, Miss
Barbara Watkins: assistant record
ing secretary, Mrs. Flora Casey;
treasurer, Robert Wilton.
Mr.. Book also reported that the
total Of the Community War Fund
drive had reached $62,448 of the
$66,570 quota. The records will not
be closed until December Il.

More Express Buses
For Sixteenth Street
Forecast by Sager
PUG Chief Engineer
Expects Demand Will
Exceed Facilities

Belief that additional buses will
be required for the experimental,
rush-hour express bus service on
Sixteenth street NV. was voiced
today by Fred A. Sager, chief en-
gineer of the Public Utilities Com
mission.
He said the test of the new serv-
ice had not continued long enough
to be decisive, but that he anticipat-
ed the demands would increase as
persons in the affected areas
changed their riding habits to con-
form 10 the schedules for the now
limited number of express buses.
The experimental service was
started Monday morning, with two
buses leaving Eastern avenue and
running local to Underwood street.
then express to Sixteenth and K
streets NV, one of them going then
to Constitution avenue and Eight
zenith street NV. and the other to
Eleventh and c streets NV. Under
the plan approved by the PUG ad-
ditional buses were to be supplied
as. fast as demand indicated.
Schedule of Buses.
Under the present schedule, the
bus running to Eleventh and c
streets NV. leaves Sixteenth street
and Eastern avenue at TAB am.
and arrives at its destination at
8:25 am. In the afternoon it leaves
Eleventh and c streets NV. at
sos pm. and gets to Sixteenth
street and Eastern avenue at 5:45
pm.
The other bus, which runs to Po-
tomac Park, leaves Sixteenth street
and Eastern avenue at 7:2O am.
and arrives at Eighteenth street
and Constitution avenue at 1855
am. On the afternoon trip, it leaves
Eighteenth street and Constitution
avenue at 4:40 pm. and reaches
Sixteenth street and Eastern ave-
nue. at SIT pm.
One Change Saturday.
The only change in the schedule
on Saturdays concerns the bus run
ming to Eleventh and G streets
NV. AS most Government Offices
close between noon and l o'clock,
the bus leaves Eleventh and C
streets at LA pm. and reaches its
destination at 1:40 pm.
AS gagged by reports up to yes
terday, Capital Transit Co. officials
indicated the maximum seated and
standing loads for the first two ex-
perimental buses had not yet been
reached, but Mr.. Sager indicated he
anticipated this measure would be
reached and that additional buses
would be assigned to the expert
mental service.

-Four Lose Appeals
From Mary|and's
Income Tax
Federal Employees Must
Pay for Benefits From
State, Court Rules
BY the Associated Press.

ANNAPOLIS, Nov. 20.-A 3-year-
old State income tax controversy
was settled by Maryland's Court of
Appeals yesterday when the high
court upheld five suits filed by the
State controller against Federal en-
ployes who had claimed exemption
because they worked outside the
State
Chief Judge Carroll T. Bond, who
rendered the opinions, affirmed four
Montgomery County Circuit Court
judgments and reversed fifth, but
all the opinions favored Controller
]. Willard Tawes and substantiated
previous findings of the State Tax
Commission before the suits were
aired in the courts.
The one reversed judgment de-
MED the appellants, an Army officer
and two Fedral employees and one
District of Columbia official their
one chance for legal triumph over
the State. The lower court had
held that the State could not exact
a full years personal income tax
from persons who had not resided
for a full calendar year within
Maryland's boundaries.
Precluded Double Tax.
Judge Bond said the Appeals
Court agreed with the State Tax
Commission that credits provided
under the income tax act precluded
the possibility of any taxpayer pay
ing personal income levies to both
Maryland and any other State.
In the opinion Judge Bond said
it had been decided that Federal
employees, although they might not
derive income from MARYLAND
sources, still received the benefits
OF State roads, schools, courts and
property, if residents, and were
therefore liable to a share in the
taxation levied to maintain them
in the absence of any distinguish
ing factors in their situations"
Those protesting the, tax were
Henry G. Wood, legislative counsel
to the Senate; 10 v. Morgan, sole
member of the District Tax Appeals
Board; Col. j. H. Lewis, and Alex
ander Tucker, Department of Justice
attorney.
Army Officers Protest.
Col. Lewies had contended that
he could not become subject to the
Maryland income tax merely by
having residence in the State, be-
cause he had had no control over
orders commanding him to report
Tor Army duty in Washington.
However, both the MONTGOMERY
court and the appellate bench
agreed that Col. Lewis claim was
not valid because, they said, his or
ders did not require him to reside
in Maryland and the statute did not
exempt from taxation Army off,
GERS living in the State.
The appellants also charged that
because certain Maryland public Of
ficers, in positions they described as
analogous" to their own, allegedly
were exempt from the State tax,
they felt the levy Disseminated
against them. But Judge Bond said
that there had been no discrimina-
ton In any of the cases in question.
The death of person from the
proper use" of anesthetic while
undergoing an operation does not
constitute accidental death, the
court ruled in another case.
The court held that insurance
companies could not be held liable
for double indemnity benefits in
handing down the opinion reversing
lower court decision in the case of
Mrs. Augusta c. Plummer of Balti-
more against the John Hancock
Mutual Life Insurance Co.

Alexandria Gets
First Lease in
Housing Plan
General Offers House
For Conversion to
Workers Apartments

The first Government lease signed
under the National Housing Agency's
program to convert private property
to living quarters for war workers
takes in house at 9O8-910 Cameron
street, Alexandria, it was announced
yesterday.
Another lease was signed on an
Office building in Mobile, Ala, to be
converted to dormitory space for
single workers.
The Alexandria property is owned
by the wife of Brig. Gen. Dun
can K. Major, jr. 1t is a three
story house now containing II
rooms and 4 baths, but will be
converted into six apartments of
three rooms and bath. Bids for
the conversion project will be
asked soon by the Home Owners
Loan Corp, which is handling all
similar projects for the Homes Use
Service of MIA.
! 260 Applications Received.
About 260 applications for CONVEX
sion have been received in the
Washington Metropolitan Area, Mil
ton Fischer, acting regional repre-
sentative of MIA announced. War
housing centers have turned 131 of
these applications over to Hole for
processing.
Mrs. Major, in offering her house
for the program, made her applica-
ton at the war housing center in
Alexandria, which is managed by
Miss Barbara K. Watkins. The
center formerly operated as the
homes registration Office and was
established largely through efforts
of AleXandria's city manager, Carl
BudWesky.
The converted units will be
rented by Hole to bona fide war
workers listed by the war housing
centers at the same rents for
comparable accommodations in each
community, in accordance with To-
cal OPA rent ceilings, John B.
Blandford, jr, MIA administrator,
said.
Formula Made Public.
dIlA odllCy doOlSldllU WA du.
ministrator in charge of Homes
Use Service, made public the for
mula used to determine the amount
owners will be paid under leases in
the program.
All leases will be for seven years,
or for two years after the end of
the war, whichever is the longer.
yrrinrt would 1n ,nrfiunI
within the seven-year period. From
this total three deductions will be-
made: The estimated annual costs
under Government operation, the
annual carrying charges paid by the
Government. such as taxes, insur-
ance, mortgage payments and one
seventh of the estimated cost of
the conversion and such back taxes
as are assumed by the Government.
The result of these deductions will
represent the net rent to be paid
property owners.
IS Areas Designated.
War housing centers already have
been established in most of the IS
congested war work areas desig-
mated under the homes use program,
Mr. Bane said.
Property owners in all the
crowded areas where war housing
centers are operating can make a
distinct contribution to the war eff
fort by leasing their homes and
buildings to the Government for
the duration" he said.
The Hole will handle all leases
for the Homes Use Service, award
all construction contracts, supervise
remodeling, and rent and manage
all family dwelling units converted.
The program will utilize under
lease only, existing buildings near
or within reasonable transportation
distances of war production plants.

CHAPEL HILL, N. c.. April A.
More trouble seemed in store for
Maryland's punchless Terps today
as they warmed up for the second
and final game Of the current series
with North Carolina after suffering
the humiliation of a 60 shutout yes
terday.
Red Benton. who set down the
visiting tourists with five blows. and
Bo Reynolds. whose triple and home
run accounted for three runs, were
the culprits chiefly responsible for
Maryland's downfall yesterday. Ben
ton handcuffed everybody but the
veterans Mearle Du Vail, who
pounded out three hits, and Pop"
Wharton, who connected twice, but
their efforts were futile because Of
a lack of support.
It was doubly sweet revenge for
the Tar Heels. for the losing pitcher
was Bob Smith. who tossed the Terps
to a 5-4 victory over Carolina in one
of its three conference losses last
season. Smiths slow breaking curve
was effective most of the way. hold
ing the host sluggers to five hits,
but he got off the beam in the eighth
and after filling the bases on two
walks and a single went completely
haywire, forcing over three runs that
sealed his doom.

man, hung up a new fielding record
for the home field by retiring 20 men
