With one OF them denouncins
most OF the juvenile delinquency

students joined yesterday in recon-
mending more recreational facilities
for Washington youth. Two called
for centers equipped with juke boxes.
The group addressed approx
mately $50 representatives OF the
Council of Social Agencies at a
luncheon at the YWCA sponsored
by the recreation division.
Robert Alfandre, 16-year-old SEN
ior at Anacosta High School and
president Of its Victory Corps Coun-
ell. said that he doesn't believe in
juvenile delinquency" and that most
OF the reports on it are "hokum."
He cited activities of the Victory
Corps Council to prove that Ana
costa students are behind the war
effort. In a recent drive, he said, the
corps sold $4,000 worth OF War
Stamps and Bonds in q single day
doubling its quota. The corps also
has written about $50 letters to
servicemen and has received re-
sponses from about IS, he added.
His major recommendation was
for supervised recreation, with good

A REST CAMP IN NAPLES
Five hundred unsmiling men,
many of them unshaven and in
forlorn filthy uniforms. jumped
out Of trucks.
They were members Of units
of an infantry division that had
been in the line 50 days-longer,
they believe, than any other
American division ever has been
al the front.
They had been out OF the
fighting for a couple Of days
now, but they were still too tired
and dirty, TO know what the
score was, or to care much.
From the trucks. they march
ed about a half mile up the
narrow, cobbled Neopolitan
street, up two dozen stairs,
through an arch and found
themselves in a large quadrangle
courtyard enclosed by a white
plaster barracks. YEARLY they
dropped their equipment, obey
ed an order TO move TO corner
of the quad.
HAVE FEW RULES
From the balcony, Capt. Rob-
ert l.. Davies, a Division Special
Service Section executive Off
Ger, addressed them: Men,
you're here for a five day rest.
While you're here, you're your
own boss. There are only two
rules: no women or liquor in the
rest camp; and you've got TO be
off the streets by 7 p. m II you
have another place to spend the
night, YOU don't have 10 come
back here. Just stay off the
streets and be back here at 10
a m Tuesday,
The men showed no particular
sign of hearing this good news,
nor were they visibly affected
when Lieut.. James w. Jordan,
of Little Falls. N. Y, the COM
pany commander for this camp,
raced through the few formali-
tics:
Everyone was to pass immed-
lately through a dental inspec-
ton. Everyone could draw any
or all clothing he wanted simply
by signing a slip The one thing
that brought a smile was an
nounCcment of tn breakfast
hours: $40 to $50. That seem
cd funny to men who had been
in the lines 50 days.
| came back TO this rest camp,
one of three opened by the Fifth
Army here in Naples, four eve
ninGS after this outfit had check
ed in. | could hardly believe it
was the same group of men.
They looked rested, clean. They
were relaxed, gay. Most Of
them were lounging in the at
tractive day room-actually a
series of four rooms. with a pi-
ano. radio, three ping-pong tab
les. some easy and some not-so-
easy chairs, magazines. books
and a score of writing tables.
The flock is back now said
Lieutenant Jordan. The first
day everyone took off and went
to town. They went 10 the
movies. They went on tours to
