SOMEBODY'S BOYS.

The iron-barred doors of prison are about to
close on these two lads whose misdeeds have
gotten them into serious trouble.
Their names and offenses are matters OF minor
importance The important fact is that they are
somebody's boys whose feet have strayed into
wrong paths and who must now pay the penalty
of crime
A few years ago these lads were the pride OF
their parents and the joy of two households
Today they are objects of shame, as they CLIMB
the steps of the Jail to waiting prison cell.
What can be done about the great curse OF
delinquency that has fallen upon our youth!
There is but one answer-an awakening OF the
parenthood of America
Parents must go back to the Church, back to
the Bible, back to God-if they would save their
children from the evil that is so prevalent IN
modern life. - -

cades at some points to close the
zone effectively.
MIR. Braun said 1t might be found
possible to permit continued use of
Connecticut avenue by through
northbound traffic for about a
week. A sign prohibiting this, how
ever, was placed this morning at
Eighteenth street and Connecticut
avenue.
The traffic plan was not placed in
effect without confusion. A number
of motorists did not see new one
way signs on N street and attempted
to head west on it at Connecticut
avenue. They found themselves face
to face with a heavy flow of east
bound traffic on the boundary street.
New bus routings also were start
ed today in the circle neighborhood
and a number of prospective pas
Sengers, finding no service at accuS-
toned stops inquired of police and
passers-by. Placards had been at
tached to the bus stop sign, how
ever, calling attention to the re-
routings.
Principal Points of Plan.
These are the principal points to
remember about the circle traffic
plan:
l. No through traffic can go around
the circle.
2. Northbound traffic must use
Eighteenth street between N and r.
streets, and southbound traffic must
use. Twentieth street within the
same limits. ..&wssRs tE =.
8. r Street IS one way west; @
street is one way east; N street is
one way east between Twentieth

St. EIizubeths Threatened Daily
With Breakdown in Laundry

meet their own commitments and

load.
So far the breakdown hasn't hap
pened. And if everything goes well,
within two years st. Elizabeth's

modern laundry Is expected to be
in operation on the hospital grounds
by that time.
House Group Takes Action.
In previous years Congress has
recognized the need for new laun-
dry at the Federal mental institu-
ton to replace the one built in 1899
In three fiscal years, beginning in
1912, money has been appropriated
for this purpose. Each time con-
struction costs have advanced so
fast that, by the time the Govern
ment could advertise for bids, avail
able funds could not cover the
project.
This year Chairman Keefe of the
House Appropriations Subcommittee
handling the Federal Security
Agency budget got tired of waiting
for the upward spiral to halt.
He had a clause written into the
proposed budget to permit the
Public Buildings Administration to
use the $1,750,000 Congress already
has appropriated for a combined
laundry, warehouse and machine
shop building at St. Elizabeths, and
award contracts for work to pro-
ceed.
The limit of the projects total
cost was increased an additional
$685. 900 in the recommended budget.
The laundry. Mr.. Keefe said, is
critically necessary" st. Eliza
beths' Supt. Winfred Overholser
agreed that it was badly needed
in 1941, when we first asked for
funds, and it's needed far worse
now"
Conditions in the laundry are so
bad" said DR.. Overholser, that I
doubt If any Health Department
would permit them in 3 commercial
laundry"

placing signs reading mo through

Within an hour, most of the vehicles
moving within the area were trucks

Cited in Plea for

Licensing Measure
Could Have Prevented
Disaster, Hearing Told

Collapse of the Empire Apart
ments Building with loss of four
lives would have been prevented If
professional engineers had been
licensed here under terms of pend
ing legislation, congressional COM
mittee was told today.
Foster ]. Pratt, president of the
International Federation of Tech
nical Engineers, Architects and
Craftsmen Unions (AFL), brought
up the Empire Building collapse in
strongly recommending passage of
a measure for regulating the prac-
tice of the profession of engineering.
Testifying, before a House District
subcommittee, he declared:
If a properly qualified structural
engineer had drawn plans and pre-
pared specifications for the con-
tractor who did the alteration work
on the Empire building, the recent
collapse of the building and loss of
life in the disaster would never
have happened"
Four were killed and IL were in
jured when the building at New
York avenue and Ninth street NV.
partially collapsed ON December 16.
The pending licensing measure,
sponsored by Representative Hin
shaw, Republican, of California, a
member of the American Society of
Civil Engineers, is sufficiently ade-
quate, Mr.. Platt testified, to safe
guard the public properly.
The bill contains provisions for
proper examinations and licensing,
he said. and covers penalties for
unqualified persons attempting to
practice in engineering fields.

Two Youths Arrested
After Abandonment
Of Stolen Car in Chase

Two youths were facing auto theft
charges today after leading District
and Virginia police on a wild chase
through Northwest Washington into
Arlington County early yesterday.
Arrested three hours after the
chase ended abruptly when the fugi-
tives abandoned their car near the
Virginia side of Chain Bridge, the
youths who were arrested told police
they had been picking violets."
Police identified the youths as
George D. Knott, 10, of the 400 block
of Eleventh street Sc, and Thomas
w. OBrien, 20, of the 5000 block of
Thirtieth place NV. In addition to
the stolen car charge, they were
held on charge of possessing dead
ly weapons after police found three
revolvers in the abandoned car.
The car. reported stolen from
Jacob Wolf, 1884 Thirteenth place
NV, was first spotted by Pvts. John
T. Ensor and Reverdy C. Orme as
it sped along Canal road NV. The
policemen, who are attached to the
seventh precinct, gave chase. They
reported the car tried to force the
police car from the road several
times.
AS other District police joined in
the chase, Virginia police were set
ting up a blockade in case the
speeding car crossed the river. Sew
eral shots were fired by police as
the two cars raced toward Chain
Bridge.
Police said the car was abandoned
on Glebe road and two figures ran
into the woods. Police lost them
in the darkness.
Police reported the abandoned car,
its brakes not set, rolled down a
small hill and crashed into road
side obstruction.
Knott and O'Brien were seized by
Arlington Policemen Joe Heath and
Leonard Brown.
