D. {. Schools Launch
Psychiatric Service
For Urgent Cases
BY MARION WADE DOYLE.

For the first time Sin the history
Of District public schools, students
are getting psychiatric examina-
tions.
pr. Leopold Wexberg, director of
the Health Departments new men,
tai hygiene clinic, Is seeing students
every Tuesday afternoon at the
Franklin School.
The service supplied by DR.. Wex-
berg, Robert L. Haycock, superin-
tendent OF schools, said, fills need
existing for many years.
The Council OF Social Agencies
and the Congress OF Parents and
Teachers have Joined with Miss
Jessie LaSalle, assistant superin-
tendent in charge of research, in
asking for provision of psychiatrists
to supplement the school doctor and
nurse service.
Last year the schools advisory
committee on juvenile delinquency
listed a psychiatrist as one Of the
leading remedies for delinquency.
Miss LaSalle picked 16 of the
most urgent" cases, ranging in age
from 8 to IA years, for DR.. Wexberg
TO study between now and Christ
mas. BY then she hopes he will have
a staff and be able to see many
more" she said.
DR.. Wexberg will try to see only
those students referred by parents
and teachers as in emotional and
mental dificulty Of some kind, Miss
IASalle said. The parent accom-
panies the child to the interviews.
However, Mrs. Arthur C. Watkins,
president of the Parent-Teacher
Congress, said she looked forward
to the day when all pupils could
get psychiatric examinations just as
they get routine health examina-
tions.
A compulsory psychiatric exam
ination would reveal not only NAL
adjusted" children but also excep-
tionally well-balanced pupils who
deserve special attention, she said.
Capt. Rhoda Milliken of the
Women's Bureau said the new serv-
ice will be helpful to police officers.
The bureau gets cases every day
that might have been prevented by
q psychiatric examination during
school days, she said.
Miss La Sale pointed out that
previously the only public psychia-
trist available for children was at
the Juvenile Court after child
already had gotten himself into
trouble. DR.. Wexberg may be able
to prevent some children from get
ting into court, she said.
The assistant superintendent
thanked the Washington Mental
Hygiene Association and the child
center at Catholic University for
helping her with some really des-
perate" cases in the past.

Charter Proposes
Exchange Of Data on
Science, Education
By the Associated Press.


The State Department released
last night a proposed charter for
a United Nations educational SCI
entific and cultural organization to
stimulate a free exchange of ideas
among peoples.
The charter was worked out in
London in a conference of 43 ma
tions-but Russia was not repre-
sented. An earlier draft was made
public here several months ago.
The purpose Of the organization
and the charter is to bring about,
among other things, an exchange of
scientific information such as that
which President Truman, Prime
Minister Attlee and Prime Minister
Mackenzie King proposed in their
atomic energy policy statement
earlier this week.
The charter declares that "ignor-
ance of each others ways and lives
has been common cause through
out the history Of mankind of that
suspicion and mistrust between the
peoples of the world through which
their differences have all too often
broken into war"
The purpose of the organization
Is declared to be ito contribute to
peace and security by promoting
collaboration among the nations
through education, science and cul-
ture in order to further universal
respect for justice, for the rule of
law and for the human rights and
fundamental freedoms which are
affirmed for the peoples of the
world without distinction of race,
sex, language or religion by the
charter of the United Nations"
The educational organization is
to have its headquarters in Paris
It's charter will become effective
when ratified by 20 of the 43 ma
tions which created it. The 44th
nation, Venezuela, was represented
at London by an observer. The
principal agencies of the organi-
zation are to be a general confer
ence" consisting of the United Ma
tions and any other states which
may be specially elected to the
educational group and an executive
board of 1S nations.

War Halted 1941 Plan.
In this previous Lanham bill there
was no provision that the District
OF Columbia should share In the
cost, Of either the land or the new
court building. i
The project fell by the wayside
when the war stopped construction
on new General Accounting ONCE
building, which was started on a.
site between G and H, Fourth and
Fifth Streets, NV. Immediately
north OF the Old Pension ONCE.
The fiscal relations story OF the
local court house is outlined In the
official report of the Architect Of the
Capitol for the fiscal year 1910.
Occupancy of the United States
Court House, District OF Columbia,
by the courts was first authorized
by act Of March 3, 1823,' says the
report. "At that time, the build
ing was known as the City Hall and
was being constructed by the NIL
nicipal Government, having been
first authorized by act of the COR
poration of the city Of Washington,
approved February %, 1915; the
cornerstone of the building having
been laid August %, 1920. ~
The act of Congress, approved
March 3, 1928, provided $4,000 for
purchasing and completely finishing
in the City Hall Building, located
in Judiciary Square, permanent and
suitable apartments for holding the
sessions of the Circuit Court of the
United States for the County of
Washington in the District of Co.
lumbia, and for the offices of the
clerk of the court and the marshal
Of the said District.
Tenancy Began in 1923.
I'm 1928, tenancy in common
by the city and Nation began. The
Federal Government gradually in
creased its occupancy of the build
ing, and by Act of March 3, 1849,
$50, 900 was appropriated by Con-
gress to reimburse the corporation
Iof Washington the cost of erecting
the half of the City Hall Building
granted to and occupied at that time
by the Government for the circuit
district and criminal courts of the
United States.
by 1873, the Federal Government
had assumed occupancy Of the en-
tire building, and by Act of March
g, 1873, $4,000 was appropriated by
Congress for the purchase by the
United States of the interest of the
District of Columbia in the City Hall
Building.
by Act of February %, 1881, an
appropriation of $4,000 was made
for enlarging City hall so as to af-
ford additional accommodations for
the courts of the District, accord
ing to plans prepared by the Ar
chitect of the Capitol.
The Sundry Civil Act of July /
1916, appropriated 100000, one
half out of the Treasury of the
United States and one-half out OF
the revenues of the District OF
Columbia, for the restoration and

trict would be required to pay half
The Federal Government would
credit the District with one half the
present appraised value of the site,
now owned by the municipality,
leaving the balance to be paid by
the District, $3.50, 100. This bal
ance would be amortized by the Dis
trict over period Of 10 years, with
out interest, beginning after the
building is finished. Afterwards
the new courthouse would be op-
Grated on a $3.50 cost basis, between

mentS.
Hearings To Be Held.
Chairman Lanham of the House
committee has indicated hearings
on the bill will be held soon, and
the fiscal relations involved are GER
tain to be controversial issue pre-
sented during hearings.
Chairman Lanham, who fathered
the measure for a new 10000, 900
building, introduced the previous
Legislation in 1941, by which the
Federal Government was to pay the
entire cost.
This previous bill, presented In
July, 1941, authorized a new build
ing for 'the use of Federal courts in
the District of Columbia, in ac-
cordance with plans to be approved
by the Director of the Administra-
tive Office of the United States
Courts"
The structure was to be build on
Judiciary Square on the site now
occupied by the old Pension Office,
which is headquarters Of the Gen.
eral Accounting Once. The site
belongs to the United States.
The measure provides: There is
hereby authorized to be appropriated
for expenditure by the Architect of
the Capitol the sum of $500, 900,
or so much thereof as may be neces-
sary to enable the Architect OF the
Capitol to carry out the provisions
of this act" The bill provided that

peared to have withdrawn from
some areas where they previously
had offered stubborn resistance. The
main opposition, they said, was con-
fined to sniper fire and some mortar
fire.
The Indonesians appealed over

native government, who fed the
British attack. to return to Soera-
baja as an inspiration to Indonesian
troops. Other broadcasts called on
Nationalists in other parts of Java
to send food and troop reinforce
ments to the naval base, and said
tanks and artillery were en- route
to Soerabaja from Jogjakarta.
The British said they had OBJ
served no signs of such movements.
The British said their casualties
in the first five days of the week
old battle at Soerabaja were IA
killed and So wounded, bringing
total British casualties in Java to
405 killed, wounded and missing.
