Citizens Weigh Steps
To Fight Delinquency
In Chi|Ium Heights

Preventative juvenile delinquency
steps involving a formal request

Estimating more than a thou
sand boys and girls of teen-age in
the area, the members stressed the
lack of adequate playground space
for their recreation. While the
need of a Police Boys Club was
high lighted as a desirable goal,
the meeting emphasized other aids.
Prominent among those mentioned
was the suggestion that the school,
yards be opened to the youths until
dark. The possibility that build

law, to keep them in rentable condi-
ton, 1t provoked mild battle over
the past and future of the NCHA
'Ihlder Bookkeeping" Hit.
A fight against the NCHA was
led by Representative Smith, Re-
publican, of Ohio, who charged that
in the agency's annual report, John
Ihlder, its executive director, had
INDUCED in double entry book
keeping" His point was that while
Mr.. Ihlder had declared the agency
was clearing Washington slums
with no cost to taxpayers" an ac-
counting that included allowances
for interest, amortization, real estate
taxes and proper reserves for main
tenance, repairs and depreciation
would show the agency was operat-
ing at loss instead Of an "oper-
ating profit"
Mr.. Smith termed the NCHA pro-
gram "communistic scheme" as
he protested that the agency had
requested a 100000 900 program for
future years, and he also referred
to the McCarran bill to authorize
a 10000, 900 plan entailing use of
q revolving fund.
Cannon Explains Need.
In reply, Chairman Cannon of
the Appropriations Committee ex-
planned that the NCHA was receiv-
ing about $51 900 a year from rentals
of the NCHA properties, that the
small proposed outlay of $4,000
extra was necessary to keep the
properties in rentable condition and
that under present law revenues of
the agency were turned into the
Federal Treasury and could not be
used for the properties without spe-
cif1c appropriation. The House then
voted, rs to 10, to reject the Smith
slash suggestion.
At the end Of three days of de-
bate over the bill, Representative
Taber, Republican of New York,
moved to recommit the measure to
the Appropriations Committee with
instructions to strike out the extra
$500, 900 provided for the National
Housing Agency but this was de-
feated by teller vote of 81 to 78.
There was a challenge also, by
Representative Cole, Republican of
New York. to provision in the def
cheney bill for $307 $50 for payment
to Pennsylvania for gift taxes on
the donations to the National GAL
lery Of Art of the famous collection
by the late Joseph E. Widener of
Philadelphia, but his contention the
proposed payment was out of order
was overruled and the item re-
manned in the measure.
