ton sought by the arm to prevent
Internal Revenue Commissioner

The issue. however, remains open
for argument ct whatever time the

Early this month, the firm,

HARPERS FERRY, w. Va, Sept.
27.-Possibility that Federal aid

struction Of new or improved roads
linking the National Capital with
this historic spot was seen today Is
local leaders speeded plans for con-
version Of 1900 acres of this tri-
State area into national memorial
park.
The suggestion was voiced by Rep
resentative Robinson, Democrat, OF
Utah during Z conference here to
motivate development Of this area
Is y memorial park, authorized re-
Gently by q congressional act spoa-
sored by Representative Randolph,
Democrat, Of West Virginia.
Conrad l.. Wirth, assistant direc-
tor Of the National Parks Service,
which will operate the memorial
once the land is acquired, joined
Washington officials and Harpers
Ferry leaders yesterday in an in
spection Of the natural and historic
attractions Of this area.
Community Support.
"A group Of Harpers Ferry leaders
voted community support and Mayor
Lewis Nichols named DR.. Henry r.
Mcdonald, until recently president
Of Storer College, as head Of the
memorial association. On its execu-
tive committee will be spokesmen
for Maryland and Virginia as well
as West Virginia.
Mr.. Randolph voiced belief that
many historic sites in this area, at
the confluence Of the Potomac and
Shenandoah Rivers, would be do
mated for the national park pur-
poses, but plans also were made |
for individual contributions and ap-
peals to the legislatures of the three |
States for funds to complete the
plan.
Among areas sought are the ring
of old Civil War forts on ridges sur
rounding Harpers Ferry as well as
some Of the historic places in this |
town. Jefferson's Rock, from which |
Thomas Jefferson is said to have
addressed voters during his CAM
paign for the Presidency, is a part
Of the picture. Eyed also are some
Of the buildings related to early days
Of the Republic, when the first
American breach-loading guns were
manufactured here.
Bill Waits Final Action.
Mr.. Robinson, chairman Of q
House Public Lands subcommittee,
pointed out that postwar highway
work would be greatly increased
under the bill now awaiting final
congressional action, proposing be-
tween $450,00O, 900 and $500, 900 900
q year in road work. If Harpers
Ferry has made good start on its
memorial park plans, he said, its
chances Of getting Federal aid money
for highway links would be en-
HANGED.
Mr., Randolph later spoke Of hopes +
that Washington, Harpers Ferry and
Gettysburg might be linked in new
Federal road plans in connection
with plans to make scenic and his

Lack Of Psychiatrists
Blocks Mental Clinic
AT Health Department
Juvenile Court Reports
400 Cases HondIed
In First Years operotion

Plans Of the District Health De.
partment to set up mental hygiene
service are at q standstill because oi
the departments inability to engage
the necessary personnel it wa,
learned today.
An appropriation Of more thar
~, 900 for two psychiatric units was
provided In the 1945 District bulge,
after Health Oficer George G. Ruh-
land and numerous welfare groups
had urged such service for several
years. Each unit would be headed
by psychiatrist at a salary Of $3.50
annually.
Explaining he had been unable to
obtain any psychiatrists, DR.. Ruh-
land expressed the opinion the 81, GOO
salary was too low. His original re-
quest for an additional psychiatrist
at $500 to head the service was
deleted from the budget. he pointed
out.
Army Takes Prospective Worker.
One psychiatrist tentatively en-
gagged for the service entered the
armed forces while temporarily as
signed to Gallinger Hospital, he
added.
Efforts are being continued, how
ever, to obtain personnel through
such sources as the National Mental
Hygiene Association and civil serv-
ice.
The service would be available to
such agencies as the schools, Public
Welfare Board and Juvenile Court.
Meanwhile, the guidance clinic at
the Juvenile Court, which has the
services Of both q psychiatrist and
psychologist detailed from the Public
Health Service, disclosed that 1t has
handled about 400 cases since 1t was
established last October /.
Clinic Highly Praised.
As the courts clinic neared its
first anniversary, Judge Fay l..
Bentley said its value cannot be
overemphasized. The clinic, she ex-
planned, has eliminated the trial
and error" method of dealing with
many court cases by providing full
knowledge of the needs of individual.
A statistical study of the 290 cases
handled by the clinic from October
l through June 80 showed that two
thirds of the children referred came
from broken homes, according to DR.,
Stanley w. Geshell, clinic psychia-
trist.
The largest number Of the chill
dren-45 per cent-were referred to
the clinic on complaints Of steal
ing. he said. Truancy came next,
with 20 per cent, while 10 per cent
were referred because they we're
"ungovernable" or beyond the con-
troll Of their parents.
DR.. Geshell pointed out that while
the war may have increased the
general delinquency problem. these
are "old fashioned" complaints
which existed before the war.
In its first nine months the clinic
gave 524 psychological tests and
about 100 interviews covering its
four types of service-psychiatric,
psychological, physical and consul
tative.
The first 200 cases included q
adults referred from the adult
branch Of the court dealing with
nonsupport.
