RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 15.-One
out Of two Virginia men between the
ages of 18 and 81 will be called for
induction by June 80, Col. Mills F..
Neal, selective service director, said
yesterday.
Returning from a tour of the
State during which he attended Sc
lective service conferences, Col. Neal
said that Virginias percentage in
this age group already indicted is
35.6 as compared to a national aver
age of more than 40 per cent. He
attributed the States high rate of
4-Fs to illiteracy, which has ac-
counted for 10000 men. The States

age bracket against the national
average of slightly less than 16 per
cent.

Alexandra Court
Quarters Criticized
In JurY's Report
New Home for Juvenile
And Domestic Relations
Tribunal Urged

The Alexandria Juvenile and Do
mestic Relations Courts quarters
were found inadequate" and the
Civil and Police Courts were found
dirty and insanitary" yesterday by
a Corporation Court grand jury
after an inspection of court facili-
ties.
In report to Judge William p.
Woolls the grand jury said the
Civil and Police Courts were found
dirty and insanitary and the clerks
office inadequate, crowded and with
no room for personnel files, no toilet
facilities for witnesses and entirely
inadequate space"
The Juvenile and Domestic Re-
lations Court quarters, the report
continued, had no facilities for
proper detention rooms, no proper
toilets for any one, even though
there is ample sewage facilities for
the building"
Burke Foreman of Jury.
The jury recommended that other
quarters be obtained for the Juve-
nile and Domestic Relations Court.
Members of the jury are c. S. Taylor
Burke, foreman John R. johnson,
H, A. Stewart, John w. Tulloch, r.
F. Downham.
Several witnesses were subpoenaed
during the investigation, including
City Manager Carl BudWesky and
Judge James r. Duncan, judge of
the courts.
AS evidence of his efforts to cor
rect the situation, Judge Duncan
presented copy of his budget re-
quests for 1912, 1943 and 1914
The requests point out that the
present quarters are not only inad-
equate but do not conform to State
law requiring separate quarters for
Juvenile Court and detention rooms.
The City Councils attention was
also called to the need. not only for
additional space for the clerks Of
flee, but for fireproof record room.
A lavatory and washroom for the
use of the courts was also requested.
In the 1914 budget request, men,
ton was made of the report made
by the National Probation Associa-
ton, following its survey of Febru-
ary, 1943, recommending the imme-
diate moving of the Juvenile and
Domestic Relations Court.
Boarding Homes Found.
During recent months, members
of the PTA Council have not only
inspected the Juvenile Court and
detention facilities, but have served
as matrons in the police department
detention rooms and have reported
to City Council on the inadequacy
and unsuitability of the facilities.
The council has ordered the rtDms
closed and other quarters estab-
lished, and boarding homes for the
detention of both white and colored
children have been found through
the cooperation of the Department
of public Welfare.
However, police have found it i'm
possible 70 detain certain hardened
offenders in boarding homes. and
the old quarters have been used in
a few isolated instances.
The aim of those interested in
improving the conditions of the
Juvenile Court is the removal of its
staff to quarters entirely separate
from the police station, and the in
clusion in the building of facilities
for the detention of juveniles who,
for reason of health or safety, can
not be placed in a boarding home.
Judge Duncan said he was pleased
with the turn events have taken in
the grand jury investigation and is
hopeful their influence will be of
sufficient weight to effect an i'm
mediate change in conditions.

Local Recreation
Still Alive

According to representatives Of
the federal agencies which have
been dealing with the local war
recreation committee the past sew
eral months, the chances for a
sustained program of recreation
for the community is still quite
promising. The plans for con-
struction of facilities is being held
up by the Seattle office FWA UNI
til they decide the type and ex-
tent of building that will be need
ed to take care of Kennewick's
rapidly changing situation.
T. c. Hoagland of the recreation
al division of the agency who was
here in conference with the Rev.
j. B. Coan, chairman of the local
committee, states that our chances
for funds for maintenance and
operation are good and that the
application which has been pre-
pared should be sent in at once.
Because of this renewed interest
in the recreational needs here,
the committee will place its ask
ings with the community chest
committee again this year. The
$1,000 received for this purpose
from the fund last year is still
available for use, and will give
an assured start towards carry
ing the program as soon as it
starts.
