which proposed three local ap-
pointees. This decision by the COM
mittee, Mr.. Atherholt charged, was
not submitted to adequate discus
sion.
Amendments to the Capper bill
were asked, said Mr.. Atherholt
which would have brought the Nc
Carran bill into line with the Capper
bill, which the federation opposed
"Not many Of those who voted
had even read the bills" Mr.. Ather-
holt said, most talk came from
those who knew least about it."
Inability to get equal representa-
ton" was cited as another reason
for the associations withdrawal
The 15-man Executive Committee
election for which is annual, has
had only five changes in three years,
Mr.. Atherholt pointed out. He said
that most associations had no rep
resentatives on the Executive Com
mittee, while several had two at the
same time.
The group opposed the licensing
of retail liquor stores, bars, or
taverns in its area, and advocated
maintenance of the present restric-
tions on the number of class A
liquor licenses in the District.

Urge
Bigger Staffs
For Congress
Brewster and Tuft
See Growing Need
For Increased Help

The need for better stating Of
Congress to handle the details of
Government that is steadily becom-
ing more complex was cited by SEN
ators Brewster of Maine and Taft Of
Ohio, both Republicans, when they
appeared today before the Joint
Committee to Reorganize Congress,
headed by Senator La Toilette, Pro-
gressive, of Wisconsin.
1T Is archaic and grotesque."
Senator Brewster said, for Congress
to handle $10O, O,OOO, ,0OO, 900 Govern
ment with the machinery that was
set up for 81 ,000, ,000, 900 one. Any
thing this committee can do to get
the proper stating will be a step in
the right direction.
The Maine Senator warned his
colleagues to be vigilant against the
growing power of the executive
branch.
Warns Of Bureaucracy.
Bureaucracy is threatening to
engulf our Government" he said,
land the representatives of the peo-
pie constitute the only agency to
fight this encroachment. Congress
is the only group on which the peo-
pie can depend to keep the executive
tree pruned"
Senator La Toilette asked whether
Senator Brewster would approve an
efficient legislative reference serv-
ice, patterned after that set up by
cthe Wisconsin Legislature, to be
made available to members of Con-
gress for research work on any
problem that might come up.
Il think 1t Is great mistake"
Senator Brewster replied, "for
Congressman to attempt to know
everything. That was possible in the
old days. but it isn't possible now"
Service for Minority.
Senator Taft urged Congress to
create a special research staff for
minority members so that they can
be kept informed on what's coming
up and what it's all about He said
such a force could function advan-
tageously to help minority members
understand such matters as Dunn
barton Oaks. Breton Woods and the
Mexican water treaty.
Under the present system, Sena-
tor Taft explained, research assist
ants connected with committees are
generally under the control of the
chairman and majority members,
and minority members do not feel
free to use these services.
The joint committee will meet
again at 10 m. Friday in the Sem
ate District Committee room.

1890 Children
Reported for
Figures Cover Year;
Offenders Come From
$500 D. c. Families

More than 1900 District children
in $500 families were reported to
local agencies for allegedly delin-
quent behavior in the l2-month
period ending last May 81, it was
disclosed today in the most compre-
Eensive study of juvenile delinquency
ever made in Washington.
How much of an increase, If any
this represents was not determined
as it was the first time a study had
been made from reports to all off,
cial agencies here concerned with
children reported delinquent.
Conducted jointly by the Chill
dren's Bureau of the Labor Depart
ment and the Research Department
of the Council of Social Agencies, the
report was based on data from six
cooperating agencies. They were
the Juvenile Court. the Woman's
Bureau and Boys Service Division
(now known as the Juvenile Bu-
reaU Of the Police Department, the
receiving Home and Protective Serv.
ice Unit of the Board Of Public We'll
fare and the Department of Schoo
Attendance and Work Permits oi
the Board of Education.
Many School Absences.
Almost half of the complaints
we're for illegal absences from school,
for a period of three or more days
with third of these attributed to
parental neglect or indifference, the
report disclosed. Three per cent re-
lated to automobile theft, 7 per cent
to burglary, is per cent to holdups
and almost 10 per cent for other
types of stealing.
Eleven per cent involved running
away or being ungovernable or in.
corrigible; S per cent cited traffic
violations, while other cases of de.
lniquent behavior included acts o,
carelessness and mischief. disorderly
conduct, drunkenness and begging
With 14.7 reported as the medium
age of the children involved, II
per cent were boys and AZ per cent
were white children. More than 2C
per cent of the children came from
families in which one or more
brothers or sisters also were regis
tered with an agency during the
year.
Not Total Volume.
The report, which was submitted
to the board of directors of the
Council of Social Agencies yester-
day, emphasized that statistics ir
the study do not necessarily indicate
the total volume of juvenile de-
linquency in the community.
There is some delinquency that
is never brought to the attention OF
the official agencies either because
the perpetrator goes undiscovered
or because he is protected by his
home environment or economic and
social status" it was stated. THE
volume of delinquent behavior
among juveniles as reported in
this study is more an indication of
the community's concern over the
behavior of its children than an
actual measure of the extent of the
delinquency"
A special analysis was made of
the extent to which Juvenile Court
statistics, unsupported by data
from other agencies, represent the
delinquency situation in COM
munity. 1t was learned, however,
that while the court got the bulk
of traffic offenses among juveniles
in the community, it received only
% per cent of the sex offenses
reported and only a small percent
age of runaway cases, with similar
variations in age, sex and race
categories.
