Warning Given as Court Makes
Parents Pay Offenders Upkeep

Parents of juvenile Offenders con-
victed in Prince Georges County in
the future may be ordered to con-
tribute toward the cost of keeping
their children in State institutions.
Such a warning was issued by
Trial Magistrate Arthur P. Owens,
after a closed County Juvenile Court
hearing at Hyattsville yesterday at
which he directed parents of five
juvgiles to pay $40 a month each
Four of the offenders, ranging in
age from 13 to 16, were sentenced
to the Maryland Training School
for Boys at Loeb Raven, while q
fifth boy, Is, was committed to St
Mary's Industrial School, Baltimore
All were ordered confined until they
reached 81 or until released at the
discretion of the institutions.
Asserting the county 'has been
paying entirely too many bills" to
take care of juvenile offenders,
Judge Owens said much of the re-
sponsibility can be attributed to
parental neglect"
The jurist said he based his deci-
sion yesterday on recommendation
Of Roy D. Bright, State parole and
probation officer assigned to Prince
Georges County.
Future eases, Judge Owens de-
clared, will be based on the ability
of parents to pay and one the "ap-
parent extent of their neglect.

ure, is chairman of the Public

A similar bill on the House side

sent to the calendar. The Rules
Committee, however, has held up
House action temporarily at least by
holding the measure in committee.
Chairman Allen of the Rules
Committee announced after a hear
ing on the request for a special rule

holed,' but that it was still under
consideration and might be taken
up again for action. He Is out of

hope for favorable action on the
Senate side and will present argu-
ments to outline the "disgraceful"

The Senate measure would author
lze construction of the courthouse
within limit of cost of $18, ,665 900.

ever, that would permit the Public
Buildings Administration to let a
contract either higher or lower than
this figure, depending on the con-
struction market at the time the
contract is let.
The House measure originally car
ried an escalator clause which was
stricken. however, after public
hearings.
The courthouse was previously
authorized by Congress for location
on Constitution avenue between

Naturalization

Returning
Move to Tempo X
To Stort April lo;;
Moy Hire 346 Here
By Nelson M. Shepard

Government space control officials
disclosed today that the Justice
Departments immigration and
Naturalization Service, which was
transferred six years ago to Phil
adelphia, will start moving back to
Washington on April 10.
The bureau and some 870 ems
ployes will be set up in Temporary
Building x at the end of East
Capitol street near the District Ma
tional Guard Armory. 1t will occupy
all the building except two wings
now housing units of the Agricul-
ture Department.
Justice Department officials said
53l of the employees in Philadelphia
have elected to return to Washing
ton with the bureau. The latest
list accounted for 877 positions in
the bureau, indicating that the re-
manning 346 jobs will be filed after
the bureau returns here.
oAo
Meanwhile, the leased building
at the southwest corner of Eleventh
and F streets NV. is being vacated
by 500 clerks of the General Ac-
counting Offices Audit Division.
They will join about 900 audit clerks
in the old Post Office Department.
Building at Eleventh street and
Pennsylvania avenue NV, whers
the division is being consolidated.
Officials said the immigration
and Naturalization Service was the
first Federal unit transferred from
Washington under the wartime de-
Capitalization program. The shift,
in March, 1912, was necessary be-
cause of the shortage of available
Office space in Washington to meet
the rapid expansion of wartime
agencies.
The situation six years later is
still acute because the Government
has vacated so many leased build
ings since VI day. Space is at a
premium, officials said.
Fortunately, Tempo x had been
reserved for the Justice Department
unit some time ago in anticipation
of the move from Philadelphia. The
transfer will take about three or
four weeks to complete.
Housing Being Found.
| For the most part. the 531 officials
and clerks who have signed up to
return have permanent ties in
Washington. A good many own
homes here.
A Housing Committee set up about
three weeks ago has found living
quarters for many of those return
ing, officials said. Nevertheless,
about half of those coming back still
will have to search for housing Of
some kind.
IA few weeks delay in arranging
for the return of this sizable unit to
the crowded Capital might have
resulted in a cancellation of plans.
In view of the national defense pro-
gram, it may be necessary for the
Public Buildings Administration to
find accommodations for several
thousand additional employees in
Washington within the next few
months.

Reckless Driving Plea
Ends Court Battle

A traffic case which has been
fought through the courts here for
more than two years ended yester-
day when Bernard Novak. "a, OF
the 2800 block of Knox terrace Sc.
pleaded guilty to reckless driving
before Judge John P. Mcmahon in
Municipal Court.
Immediately after the guilty plea,
the government dropped a second
charge Of driving under the influ-
ence Of alcohol. Chief Assistant
Corporation Counsel Clark King ex-
planned later his Office lacked suffi-
cient evidence to prosecute the
charge at this time.
Novak was arrested first in Janu-
ary, 1916, while driving on Alabama
avenue Sc. He was found guilty
at that time of driving while under
the influence Of alcohol. The deci-
sion was upheld by the Municipal
Court Of Appeals.
Later, the United States Court OF
Appeals reversed the verdict on the
grounds that improperly identified
evidence had been used in the trial.
After the dcision of the Court OF
Appeals, the Corporation Counsers
office added the charge of reckless
driving over the objections of the
defense.
Sentencing was set for tomorrow.
