Black Market,

Probe Head Pledges
National Inquiry
Clear Down Line

Evidence supplied by members o.
the Districts Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board corroborates COM
plants received from many parts
Of the country as to black market
and other illegal liquor operations,
Chairman Van Nuys of the Senate
Judiciary Subcommittee said today.
The head of the Liquor Investigate
ing Senate Subcommittee said he
hoped it would be possible for the
group to open public hearings on
the national questions a week after
next. He said public he rings had
been delayed only unt4 the SUBJ
committee staff was able to collect
facts.
Wide Inquiry Proposed.
I'VE propose to 60 into the stu.
alton as to the distiller, wholesaler,
the retailer-clear down the line"
said Senator Van Nuys. He added
questions would deal with boarding,
black market. labelling violations,
tax evasion and war uses of alcohol
and liquor, among others.
Local ABC officials meeting with
him at his request were Thomas E.
Lodge, chairman, and Mrs. Agnes
K. Mason and William P. Meredith,
board members. Chairman Van
Nuys said they had supplied con-
siderable volume of data as to the
authority, powers and mechanics Of
the operation of the ABC board here
and as to local conditions.
AS to black market and other
questions he declared this data con.
firmed thousands of letters and com.
ments received from various Sec
tions of the country.
ABC Powers Limited.
He said he understood the ABC
board is lacking certain enforce
ment powers, having only a limited
number of its own inspectors, al
though it has broad powers as to
licensing to places selling alcoholic
beverages. He indicated that his
investigating group did not intend
to 90 into this subject since it was
dealing with national problem and
concerning itself with local issues
only as it pertains to the national
picture.
While Senator Van Nuys had
criticized the District ABC board
for its delay in volunteering, as
other agencies had done, to CO.
operate with the Senate committee,
he indicated this issue was settled.
since the board had supplied con-
siderable data and offered its serv.
ices.
Mr.. Lodges only comment after
the meeting in executive session
with Senator Van Nuys was that
the conference had proved most
constructive. The board is continue
ing its conferences with representa-
tives of the industry. preparatory to
submitting recommendations for
changes in local regulations to the
Commissioners.

Blame
Denied by Members
Of Education Board
Responsibility Placed
On Parents; Mentally
Retarded Are Cited

Board of Education members have
gone on record denying any implica-
ton that public schools are pri-
marily responsible for the rising
juvenile delinquency rate in the Dis
trict of Columbia. ,.-~s
The fathers and mothers are pri-
marily responsible" DR.. Robert A.
Maurer. vice president, declared in
discussion Of the problem at q
board committee session yesterday
Many of the boys and girls men,
toned in the Health Department re-
port on delinquency are retarded
mentally" DIR. James A. Cannon de-
clared.
DR.. Joseph A. Murphy, chief OF
school services Of the District Health
Department, reported last week that
20 per cent of illegitimate births in
the District were to girls under l9
years of age.
DR.. Cannon added that he opposes
the present system of giving two
week circus" of sex instruction in
the senior high schools because II
only emphasizes" the subject for
mentally retarded students. He ad-
vocates a gradual instruction begin
ming in the grade schools and at nc
time given as separate course.
Seek Employment Control.
I'VE should not assume RESPONSE
bility for the delinquency of these
students" DR.. Cannon concluded.
G. Melvin Sharpe asked for dis
cussion OF delinquency reports at
board meetings.
At meeting Immediately after
ward the board decided to set up q
central placement bureau to handle
requests by employers for student
workers and applications by STU
dents for jobs.
DR.. Donald Dushane, secretary of
the National Commission for De-
tense OF Democracy. of the National
Education Association, stressed the
need for better school facilities.
Senator Pepper asked how much
it would take to meet the short
comings he believes exist in facilitie.
and services. DR.. Dushane said it
would take about $4,000 900 900
Senator Pepper said, that as ex-
penditures now 60, that would not
be extravagant, but a wise invest
ment.
The new bureau will comply as
closely as possible with recon.
mendations of Federal agencies
and yet still maintain control OF
District authorities over work. per-
mits granted and part-time, work
study programs set up. In many
other States complete control of en-
ployment Of school-age children has
been handed over by the local au-
thorities to Federal representatives

Il. G. Garvin, president of the

yesterday to plead for temporary

Pepper Urges
Social Work
By War Heroes
Says They Must
Be Convinced Job
Is Not Effeminute

A suggestion that heroes returning
from the battle fronts be encouraged
to take vocational training as social
workers was put forward today by
Chairman Pepper of the Senate
subcommittee studying Juvenile
delinquency.
He made the proposal after Mrs
Florence Kerr, assistant to the ad-
ministrator Of the Federal Works
Agency, had called attention to the
excellent leadership material
young war veterans would provide
for youth guidance work.
II can think of no happier situa-
ton than to have a boy just back
from Guadalcanal or Tunisia acting
as leader for boys club" Mrs. Kerr
told the subcommittee.
Senator Pepper recalled that the
Veterans Administration has au-
thority to provide vocational train
ing, and said some veterans may go
into social work if we can convince
them it Is not effeminate to be a
social worker"
Mrs. Kerr, who helps provide Fed
eral Works Agency aid to war-con-
gested areas in obtaining community
facilities, testified that the "over-
all record of the teen-age group in
America during the war has been
good"
Admits Real Problem.
She said she recognized, however,
that juvenile delinquency is a real
problem in localized areas. She said
she did not know whether there is
any more of it than usual, "but it
does show itself in spots and we
must be prepared to deal with it,"
Referring to the teen-agers as q
whole, she said:
"The way they have worked on
the railroads, on the farms and in
the factories gives us reason to be-
lieve the youth are sound"
Mrs Kerr made four recommends
tions for prevention of delinquency,
namely:
/. Adequate programs for direct
ing the activities of children before
and after schoolhours and during
vacation, especially where crowded
conditions have put classes on part
time schedules;
Would Train Police.
2. That recreational facilities for
war workers include activities for
those up to the age of 2l;
3. That more policemen and no.
licewomen be given special training
for dealing with juvenile delin-
quency, and
4. That placement officers be pro-
vided at social disease treatment
centers. Such placement officers
are being provided, where requested,
by the Federal Works Agency. the
subcommittee was told.
Maj. Gen. Phillip B. Fleming
Federal Works administrator, pre-
viously had outlined what that
agency has done under the Lanham
Act in providing facilities for the
care OF children of mothers in war
work, in establishing recreational
faculties In war areas and in pro-
viding additional hospital accom-
modations in congested zones.
In planning postwar construction
Senator Pepper said he wanted to
see hospitals built wherever needed,
declaring that would save more lives
than removing railroad grade cross
lngs. Next, he said, should come
educational facilities and then rec
reation.
