Move Made 10 Revoke
Ex-SoIdier's S Citizenship

The Justice Department yesterday
began legal steps to deprive Fred
Karl Scheibe, 80, formerly of WASH
ington, of his American citizenship
on the grounds that his oath of al
legiance to this country was given
fraudulently.
A petition making the request
was filed by the Justice Department
with the United States District
Court in Brooklyn. where Scheibe
now lives. Scheibe, born in Ger
many, lived here during part of 1912
with his father, Karl Scheibe, whom
the Justice Department said was
employed by private business con-
Germ here.
In November, 1912, young Scheibe
was inducted into the Army at Fort
Myer, Va, but recently was dis
charged. He was naturalized as an
American citizen in New York in
April, 1898.
Attorney General Biddle said the
Governments case is based on
Scheibe's "active participation in
the affairs of the German-Ameri-
can Bund and on disloyal state
ments which he is known to have
made, all indicating his oath of
allegiance was given with mental
reservations"

Budget Requests Fail
To Seek Funds for
New Guidance Clinic
VoteIess District League
Will Ask Commissioners
To Urge Continuance

The new guidance clinic of the
District Juvenile Court, described
by Judge Fay L. Bentley when 1t
opened October / as a major step
in coping with problems of child
delinquency, has not been provided
for in the 1945 budget requests sub
mitted to Congress, it was learned
last night.
The situation was revealed when
the Voteless District League of
Women Voters, pointing out the
value and importance of psychi-
atric clinic to the Juvenile Court, "
said it would ask the Commissioners
to recommend funds for continual
ton of the work.
Mrs. Eugene Dufield, league pres
ident, said she understood the ap-
preparation for the clinic was
recommended by the United States
Public Health Service in its last
budget estimates and that it was
"deleted by the Budget Bureau on
the grounds that it should be in
cluded in the District budget as a
regular municipal service
Learned of Omission Too Late.
District budget officials, however,
said they did not learn of the omis-
sion in time to consider including
the cost of the clinic in the local
budget.
The clinic was set up last fall after
Congress had authorized the Dis
trict Commissioners to request the
United States Public Health Service
to detail a psychiatrist. psycholo-
gist and a nurse to the Juvenile
Court.
Nov when the community is fac
ing an aggravated problem of juve-
nile delinquency, the services of a
psychiatric clinic to the Juvenile
Court are especially urgent" Mrs.
Duffield said.
DR.. Stanley w. Geshell, clinic
psychiatrist, reported last week that
the clinic so far has handled about
100 cases and said it cannot in itself
prevent delinquency but that it
serves as a rehabilitation center.
Appropriation Expires June 30.
The Clinic arranges that many
cases are handled without court ap-
pearances. which may be harmful to
youngSter and it endeavors to
give psychiatrical Interpretation
to the children's problems, he
explained
Judge Bentley, pointing out that
Congress has not yet conducted
hearings on the 1945 budget, indi-
Gated she believed funds for con-
tinuation of the clinic would be
granted. Congress has said we
could have the service" she COM
mented, adding the Question now
was where the appropriations should
originate.
The Public Health appropriation
for the clinic expires June 30.
