 Eleven men employees of a con- cessionaire holding a contract for sale of the pennants at the show during it's nationwide tour were held in jail without bail pending completion of the investigation.

 Proceeds of the show, in which a task force of 1,600 soldiers dem onstrate various maneuvers, guns, tanks and other Army equipment, are to go to the Army Relief fund
 Lieut.. Joseph B. Kyle of the pub licity department of the show said the Army will make a complete in vestigation of the situation. Ray Harrison, executive chairman of the local committee for the show, said the sale was "inexcusable," adding that i've must get to the bottom of it at once."

(NEA Service Stan CorrespOndent)
 Washington, July 6. - Capt. Rhoda Milliken, chief of the Wom- ems Bureau of the District of Col- umbia police force, has three big assets to help her cope with the capitals wartime disciplinary prob lems.
 First is her ready sense of humor, deepened by g years of service on the Washington force.
 Second is her regular staff of 8 experienced rolicewcmen - she's bc-n T1..iIly campaigning for more since 1883.
 SHE LIKES BEING
 CALLED A COP
 Third, her special emergency shock troops are the 110 new volun- teer police auxiliaries-sworn in for part time duty during the past few months after a 28-hour training course in the fundamentals of evil dence, arrest, first aid, etc.
 Washington's smiling, crinkly- eyed wisp of cop-she likes being called one-thinks that of all her current law-enforcement headaches the increase in juvenile delinquency IS the most serious.
 Not that she glosses over the responsibility of seeing that 10000 government gals, averaging about 20 years of age, tread the straight and narrow path. Or, minimizes the job of eagle-eyeing the furlough fun of the hundreds of soldiers and sail ors that throng Washington's streets and hot spots nearly every night. "GIRL PROBLEM"
 IS OVER-EMPHASIZED
 But, she feels those angles are apt to be oyer-emphasized.
 After all, the government girls are being taken care of much better than during the last war;" points out the chief" We didn't have de- partmental personnel directors or as well-established recreation and well fare committees, housing registries or rent control in those days.
 And although the situation is much more acute today, I'd say that any normal, well-balanced person coming here makes out as well as she would in any large city"

DELINQUENCY JUMP BLAMED ON WAR

The same dearth of recreation and supervised leisure is one of the chief reasons, Capt. Milliken feels, for the tremendous rise in the number of juvenile delinquents. With both parents working in many families, and inadequately supervised play grounds or club programs for after school activities for the older chill dren, wave of housebreaking has broken out among the younger boys while, during the last three months, a considerable number of girls around 13 to IS have been picked up for shoplifting.
 Judging from England's experi- ence," reports the philosophical di- rector, this is regular wartime phenomenon-London's rate went up 40 percent the first year of war. Ours is 32 percent above the level 2 years ago." She explains that in many cases stealing is an outlet for other emotional disturbances-wh may indicate why number of the girl shoplifters come from fairly well-off families, and can give no explanation of why they take things.
