Delay in 500 Juvenile
Hearings Is Censured

The accumulation of more than
600 cases in the Juvenile Court on
which action is being delayed be-
cause of shortages and turnover in
court personnel was described as a
"deplorable situation" yesterday by
the Executive Committee of the
corrections division, Council of So
cial Agencies.
The delay in handling cases is
especially harmful to the children
who commit additional offensas
while awaiting court action. the
committee declared in commenting
on the condition revealed by the
courts Advisory Committee last
week.
The lack of any male probation
omcers to work with boys of IA
years and over also was described
as serious handicap" to the work
of the court.
Referring to the shortage of ste
nographers at the court, the Execu-
tive Committee urged the District
Commissioners and the Civil Serv-
ice Commission to take prompt ac-
ton to raise the salaries for these
stenographers as they now are paid
only $1,440 a year. Requests for
reclassification of the positions have
been rejected, 1t was reported last
week, and only two of the nine
stenograpfic positions are filled.
The Executive Committee pointed
out that the court had made every
effort to keep abreast of its work
by using volunteer stenographers
and by seeking personnel through
other channels.

Parish Rectory Held
.Tax-Exempt Even Il
Rooms Are Rented

The rectory of a parish is exempt
from taxation even though the rec
tor rents some of the rooms and
provides meaA
This was the decision yesterday
of Lawrence Koenigsberger, sole
member of the Board of Tax Ap-
peals in the case of the rectory of
st. James Episcopal Parish at 222
Eighth street NE.
The Assessors Office had levied a
property tax in part during the fls-
cal years 1912 and 1943. The vestry
of the church protested.
Although the rector-who has
three boarders at present-charges
$50 a month for rent and a similar
amount for food, 1t was found that
the income was only half the outgo.
Mr.. Koenigsberger ruled, therefore,
that the rectory had not lost its
tax exempt status.
The rector told Mr.. Koenigsberger
that boarders were first taken in
i941 and, although a solvent under
taking at first, rising costs have re-
suited in an unbalanced budget. The
Rev. Alfred @. Plank, rector, told
Mr.. Koenigsberger that he did the
marketing himself and described the
services of an elderly housekeeper
as religious contribution"
Mr.. Koenigsberger not only can
celled 1943 taxes, but ordered the
District to return $63.40 for taxes
of the preceding year.

McNutt Opposes Bill to Name
Nichols Avenue for Missouri

For historical and sentimental
reasons it would be unfortunate"
to change the name of Nichols ave-
nue. to that of any State, Paul v.
McNutt, Federal Security Admins
traitor, yesterday wrote Chairman
Randolph Of the House District
Committee.
Submitting an adverse report on
the bill Of Representative Bennett,
Republican, Of Missouri to rename
Nichols avenue Missouri, Mr.. Nc
Mutt pointed out that the avenue
was named In honor Of DR.. Charles
n. Nichols Of Maine, the first super
intendent Of st. Elizabeth's Hos
pital. which comes under the SUPER
vision Of the Federal Security Ad-
ministraticn.
Evening star., 1944-11-05

DR., Nichols, who supervised the
building Of the institution, was SUI
perintendent there from 1852 to
1877. Mr.. McNutt added: During
his term of Office, DR.. Nichols not
only achieved distinction in the psy-
chiatric field but served in the gov
'ernment of the District. He was for
q number of years member Of the
Board Of Public Works and it was
In honor Of his service to the Dis
trict that the street was named for
him during his lifetime. For his
sentimental reasons 1t would seem
unfortunate to abandon the name
Of Nichols In favor Of any state
or any other person. The name
means much to the more than
1000 patients and nearly 1000 en-
ployes Of et. Elisabeth's."

Citing Plight of VoteIess Residents

will 1t ever be free until such time
as those who possess the power are
subject to restraint by the granting
of suffrage to those who are gov
erned."
Recalls 1888 Decision.
Mr.. Wender recalled that on
April 30, 1888, approximately 100 900
adult residents participated in a
voluntary referendum conducted
with all t., formality of an official
plebiscite" III which local suffrage
was supported almost to l and
national representation by II to /.
"As the standard bearers of your
political parties, champions of a
democratic world, whose hearts
bleed for the suffering victims of
Axis persecution" he wrote, will
you not determine in your own
minds the propriety of situation
whereby taxation without represen-
tatton is not the exception but the
fule-where men are governed with
out their consent and children are
born with stigma of inferior cit
izenship?
while you both are dedicated tc
the cause of international freedom
Is 1t not proper for you now to
assist In the liberation of those
whose shackles are nonetheless OBJ
vious though those who are wearing
them may be near at hand?"
Considers Party Platforms.
Recalling that the 1914 Democra-
tic convention reiterated the pledge
originally included in the 1910 plat
form calling for extension of suf-
frage to the District. Mr.. wender
added: However, for the past four
years the administration has made
no overt act to effectuate this de-
claration, nor has anything been
said or done to indicate the manner
In which it is proposed that the
Democratic party would confirm this
solemn obligation by legislation or
constitutional amendment"
He continued that it was unfor-
tunate that an effort to include a
District suffrage plank in the Re-
publican platform this year failed.
He recalled that the late Wendell
L. Willkie, the 1910 Republican can
didate for the presidency, had in
dorsed "wholeheartedly" the extern
sion OF "the rights of democracy"
to Washington residents.

Citizens Protest War
Housing Development

Spokesman for the Rhode Island
Avenue Citizens Association yester-
day filed with the House District
Committee a protest against the
temporary mobile" dwellings being
erected for colored war workers by
the Federal Public Housing Au-
thority near the intersection of
West Virginia and Montana avenues
NE.
Charles F. Green. president. wrote
to District Committee Chairman
Randolph indorsing a protest filed
recently by the National Gateway
Citizens Association and adding:
1--WE wish to point out that a
hundred or more small, box-like
temporary houses are being erected
on a low site where water has regu-
larly stood in recent years and which
receives surface drainage from an
Immediately adjacent cemetery.
This appears to us to be not
only an instance of short-sighted
planning of housing project from
the standpoint of the prospective
occupants, but also. in the event
of an outbreak of disease there, it
would constitute a serious menace
to the surrounding residential COM
munity."
The Gateway citizens had written
to President Roosevelt, as we'll as
to the District Committee, asking
the President to bring about aban.
donment Of the project. The Dis
trict Committee, in response to the
protest, wrote to the District Com
missioners and Health Offlcer Ruh-
land asking for report on whether
the drainage situation would con-
stitute a menace.
Mr.. Green wrote Mr.. Randolph
that the officers Of the Rhode Is
land avenue group had made an
investigation and Endorsed the plea
Of the Gateway citizens.

until the last minute to complete
their ballots, the Republican Blu
reau, in Room 239 of the National

cratic National Committee Bureau

Based on Census Data.
The estimate of .625 900 persons Of
voting age living in Washington now
is based on Census Bureau figures
and trends. The Census Bureau es-
timated the District population at
$50 1893 on July /, 1943. There was
no breakdown as to age groups, but
another population estimate for the
metropolitan area on November
last year placed at 72.5 per cent the
proportion of the total population
20 years or more of age. II this
trend was followed, and consider
alton given to the undoubted in
crease in population during the
past year, the estimate of 625 900
potential voters" appears to be
conservative.
The 1910 census, which showed the
District then had population Of
663, ,0o1, placed the number of "po-
tentiap voters at 474,793, with 402,
633 Of the local inhabitants having
been born in other States.
Census Bureau ofncials said no
estimate was available Of the num-
ber Of persons living here who actu-
ally maintained a voting residence
in one OF the States. Workers at the
Republican Absentee Voters Bureau
guessed" the number now at 20O,-
600; those at the Democratic Central
Committee headquarters believed It
nearer 225 900.
Numerous technicalities compli-
cate the task of casting their bal
lots by those eligible to do SO. Some
States do not permit absentee voting
ataall among them Maryland, Penn
sylvania, New Jersey, New Mexico,
Louisiana and South Carolina. New
York permits absentee voting, but
requires registration In person.
Those States permitting absentee
voting require the ballot to be exc
cuted before . notary public. The
principal work Of the absentee
voters bureaus here Is explaining
the regulations Of the various states
and performing notartal services. q
