Officials 10 Confer
On Fighting Menace
OF Vice Conditions
La Roe Criticizes Policy
Of Soft Pedo|ine'
VenereuI Disease

Criticizing what he termed soft
pedaling" of the venereal disease
problem here, Wilbur La Roe, jr.,
member of the District Parole Board,
said today plans are in progress for
a general meeting of city officials to
combat the vice menace.
"An unfortunate feature of our
whole attitude toward venereal dis
ease is our tendency to soft-pedal
our treatment Of It," the attorney
said.
He said that no time or place for
the meeting has been set yet but sew
eral District officials have already
expressed their willingness to confer
on the subject"
Military Effort Injured.
1--WE have pursued a hush hush
policy" he said, apparently on the
theory that the subject is not nice
one to talk about. Now we see the
military effort injured by our own
hesitation"
Mr.. LaRoe, who is chairman of
the Washington Federation of
Churches Civic Affairs Committee,
declared that ut is time for the
church people and other people to
wake up ana fight this evil with the
same frankness and the same cour-
age which we show in fighting tu-
berculosiS and smallpox"
He said one of the chief problems
which the proposed meeting would
discuss Is the need for systematic
examinations of persons afflicted
with venereal diseases.
Judges Will Attend.
"One of the chief difficulties we
run into" he said, "is this lack of
systematic examinations. II the laws
need changing-we must see that
the necessary changes are made"
He said that Municipal Court
judges would be invited to the con-
ference, in addition to police and
other officials
He said that the House District
Subcommittee on Public Health,
which recently concluded hearings
on the subject, had done a good
job" in bringing the subject out
into the light of day where We can
take a real crack at it,"
