Anew in Alexandra

The Alexandria Health Depart
ment today was accused of a do
nothing attitude for the second

Councilman-elect Marshall j. Bev-
eTley, who accused health officials

partment.

in action to see that Alexandria has
more capable and efficient health
management"

member union locals to back F..
Byrne Austin for Maryland's 9Th
District Congressional seat.
C. E. StutZman, conference chair
man, urged delegates last night to
support Mr.. Austin, Montgomery
County Democrat, for the post now
held by Representative Beall, Re-

With working families reaching

Boy, "a, Committed
Al Parents Cost

Parents of a 14-year- -old East
Riverdale Md boy were directed
in Prince Georges County Juvenile
Court, Hyattsville. yesterday to pay
$50 monthly toward his support at
the st. Mary's Industrial School,
Baltimore.
The boy was committed to the
institution yesterday for an inde-
terminate period by Trial Magistrate
Arthur P. Owens for the unauthor-
lied use of an automobile. He was
arrested Sunday morning.
At the same time the parents
were acquitted Of charge of con-
tributing to the delinquency of a
minor when Judge Owens ruled that
such charge, if prosecution were
warranted, should have been brought
against them by the Army.
During a closed court session yes
terday, the couple admitted they
had signed an affidavit when the
boy was 13 stating he was II. He
served in the Army for eight months
until his age was discovered when
he became involved in an auto theft
case. He was returned to civilian
life few months ago, according to
Roy D. Bright, county parole and
probation officer.
The practice Of assessing parents
for the support of children while
in State institutions has been fol-
lowed by juvenile courts in the
county whenever there is an indica-
ton that lack of proper parental
supervision has contributed to the
juvenile offense, Mr.. Bright declared.

County Unit Approves
Bethesda Apartments
Built by Eugene Casey

Construction of a 100000 apart
ment house in Bethesda by Eugene
B. Casey, wartime presidential aide
who recently served five months ir
jail for evasion of income taxes
today had the approval of the Mont.
gomery County Board of Building
Appeals.
Mr.. Casey was released last March
from the Federal reformatory al
Petersburg, Va.
Work on the Count apartment
project, to be at Clarendon road ano
Elm street, had been held up as a
result OF the refusal by the Mary
land Park and Planning Commission
to grant building permit.
The commission claimed Mr.. Casey
had not provided sufficient rear
yard space and off-street parking
facilities.
The commission action was sup
ported by the Board of Zonins
Appeals after residents of the area
appeared at hearing July % to
oppose approval of the project until
OH street parking was provided.
Yesterday, however, the Board
heard testimony that the off-street
parking requirements had been COM
piled with. At the same time, the
board waived provision for a 9-fooi
rear yard, thus clearing the way
for issuance of the building permit
Board Chairman John Sadler saic
a group of residents of the area, who
appeared at yesterdays hearing
favored the boards action on the
ground that the. project would serve
as a buffer between single family
homes and commercial establish
ments. Mr.. Sadler said the land has
been zoned for apartment house use
for some time.
