Vote League Appeals
IFor Funds for Clinic
|At Juvenile Court

An appeal for funds to continue
the psychiatric clinic at the Juve-
nile Court in the 1916 fiscal year
has been made by the District
League of Women Voters to Chair
men O'Mahoney and Coffee of the
Senate and House Subcommittee
on District Appropriations, respec-
lively. it was announced today.
The request was made in a let
ter signed by Mrs. Eugene Dufneld.
league president, which pointed out
the proposed budget does not pro-
vide for this clinic next year.
The league said it understood the
omission was due to plans for es-
tablishing mental hygiene service
under the District Health Depart
ment which might obviate the ne
cessity for continuing the clinic at
the Juvenile Court.
Proposed Service Not Started.
1t pointed out, however, that the
Health Department service, which
would include two units, has not yet
been initiated because of inability
to secure necessary personnel.
TT is inconceivable that these
clinics would be in operation and
ready to take over smoothly the
work of the court clinic by July of
this year." the league asserted. 1t
added that without appropriations,
the court clinics would have to
cease functioning on July /.
The Juvenile Court clinic, inau-
gurated IN October, 1943, is stated
with personnel detailed from the
United States Public Health Service
The league asserted the clinic is
serving much needed, VITAL cor
rectional service" in diagnosing and
treating certain children and their
parents brought before the Juvenile
Court and that its continuation for
at least another fiscal year Is
imperative"
Cites Need of Precautions
I'm these times, with the pres
sures of war and the resultant stag
gering rise in deliouency of children
every precaution must be taken to
insure the continuous availability
of correctional guidance for children
who have committed infractions
and whose behavior has become
anti-social," it added.
Health Officer George G.. Ruhlano
disclosed he will confer tomorrow
with potential candidate to heao
the proposed mental hygiene service
under his department. The ap.
preparation for this service, granted
last year, provides for two units
each to be headed by psychiatrist

Soviet artillery was like music to the Boikos
Suddenly the music turned sour for Alex
andra. The divisional tank commander evil
IDENTIFY still nursed some old-fashioned notions
about the best place for women. The very
day the "Boiko" was ordered to move up into
action, the commander summoned Alexandra
to staff headquarters and directed her to re-
main there on duty. She obeyed.
But as the hours passed by she became
worried. Ivan and the belo, ed tank which
they had bought were going to fight with
out her. She was part of the team.
1t was impossible for her to stay quietly
behind while Ivan rode forth in their tank.
AT the risk of court-martial Alexandra per-
suaded another junior officer to take her
post and then slipped out of headquarters.
She begged a ride from motorcyclist who
was carrying dispatches to the front. For IL
hours Alexandra bumped along on the back
of the motorcycle searching for her tank.
Finally, she found the 'Boiko."
The tanks were assigned to spearhead a
break through for picked assault troops.
Anxious to show what they could do, the
Boikos plunged their INFESTED tank into the
thickest part of the fight and kept going while
enemy missiles bounced on them and around
them like hailstones

liars how it happened that the "Boiko"
suddenly became involved in what seemed
like hopeless and fatal fracas with two huge
German Tiger tanks and a company of tommy
gunners.
Alexandra, in her anxiety to be first, had
raced way ahead of her assault troops. A
wiser, more seasoned commander would have
ordered tactical retreat. But not the deter
mined Alexandra. The "Boiko" had reached
the summit of little green hillock which
might cost many lives to retake later if
Alexandra gave it up. For three hours the
'Boiko" and its crew beat off Nazi counter
attacks.
Once Alexandra yelled above the din to
Ivan, Can we hold out?" Ivan, not turning

his head an inch, yelled back, Darling. We
must!" When Red Army armored units moved
up they found the 'Boiko" dented with shell
marks, its main cannon smashed and its
caterpillar treads out of commission. Alexan-
dra had an arm wound. Ivan and the gunner
had been hit in the legs But the two Nazi
Tigers never left the battlefield - except as
Red Army trophies.
When the Soviet communique on the battle
was announced it merely stated that the tank
commanded by Junior Lieutenant Alexandra
Leontivna Boiko and driven by Junior Lieu
tenant Ivan Feodorovich Boiko had destroyed
five enemy tanks, two field pieces, several
supply wagons and machine gun nests during
two weeks of fighting.
~Wexe You Scaxed?'

asked her what she thought of American

tanks were fine, she was grateful for
them, but she liked Soviet tanks much
better. ''After ALL" she said with dis
arming grin, 'Ivan and own one."
Then talked to Alexandra about the post
war world and her plans. What did she want
to do? Did she and Ivan expect to have chill

The race for individual scoring

with an average Of Is points game.
Cranston booted his average yes
