Taxi Drivers Warned
To Clean Up Cabs;
Complaints Cited

/ Acting Police Supt. Floyd A
Truscott yesterday served notice on
Washington's taxicab drivers tc
clean up their cabs.
Inspector Truscott said he will
ask the hack inspector to make q
special effort to track down dirty
cabs. He said he would advise the
hack inspector to have his men con-
duct a survey as they go about their
other duties to make certain that
cab drivers observe the Public Utili-
ties Commissions regulations on
cab cleanliness.
Passengers Complain.
Passengers have been complain
ing that cigarette stubs and cigar
ashes litter the floors of many cabs
and that pail of dust hangs over
cab upholstery. While some cabs are
shiny and spotless, these passengers
declare, others are splattered with
mud on the outside and unsightly
on the inside.
The PUG regulations provide:
Every taXicab in service shall be
kept in a clean and sanitary condi-
ton and shall be swept and busted
thoroughly at least once a week. At
least once every seven days, the in
terror woodwork, glass and fleor shall
be cleansed thoroughly with suit
able antiseptic solution"
Small Staff Cited.
1t. Thomas Heffernan, the hack
inspector. said that with 10000 cabs
on the street and II inspectors, in
Guiding himself, he does not have
the staff to inspect every cab.
1t. Heffernan said the PUG regu-
iation is used to put teeth into
warnings. He said he could not re-
call any arrests for dirty cabs, but
he has given plenty of warnings.
Cabs are required to use a nom
absorbent leather fabric for their
upholstery. 1t Heffernan said it is
easy to keep clean. He also pointed
out that the larger cab companies

Two Judges Needed
On Juvenile Court,
Social Worker SAYS

An opinion that Juvenile Court
should have two judges was ex.
pressed yesterday by Miss Virginia
L. Clary, director of social work
for the court.
Pointing out that an average OF
more than 10 cases are brought be-
fore the presiding judge tacn day
Miss Clary declared:
This is too much :or one Judge
70 be expected to handle. In my
opinion Juvenile Court needs two
judges"
Casey Has Filled In.
Judge Fay Bentley, who has pre-
sided over the court since its forma-
ton in 1898, at present is vclun-
tary patient of Saint Elizabeths
Hospital. Judge Bentley has been
absent from the bench due to ILL.,
ness since last September.
During that time Municipal Court
Judge Walter ]. Casey has filled in
having been named as a substitute
by District Court Judge Bolitha J
Laws under special provisions OF
the District Code. Neither District
nor Municipal Courts, however, have
jurisdiction over the juvenile
branch, the latter judgeship beine
through presidential appointment.
Judge Laws emphasized this point
when questioned yesterday on the
possibility of an additional Judge
or regular" substitute to take the
bench during Judge Bentley's alb.
sence.
Case Load Increasing.
He observed at the time, however
that the Juvenile Court judge ha.
been "terrif1cally overburdened" with
the constantly increasing case load
Judge Laws also said he understood
that Judge Bentley had only one
vacation in II years.
As an example of the case loac
Of the court, Miss Clary said thai
in the last two years nonsupport
cases alone have jumped 80 pei
cent. Included in this figure are
the cases involving the support OF
illegitimate children. This type Of
nonsupport-"the most worrisome OF
all'-has increased in number from
80 cases IN 1916 to 400 last year

Training Of Interns
Reported Impaired by
Cut in Charity Cases

y Training of hospital interns and
resident doctors has been impaired
seriously by reductions in charity
cases, forced by rising costs of
operation and inadequate sources
of income, a prominent Washing
ton surgeon reported in the jan
uary issue of the Medical Annals
of the District Medical Society.
To make up for the reductions,
he urged private doctors to work
more closely with the doctors in
training in hospitals to place
heavier emphasis on other, often
neglected phases of the essential
training programs.
The surgeon, DR.. Jonathan NJ.
Williams, wrote that hospitals,
faced with soaring deficits, have
with one accord reduced the
charity or staff services rendered"
These staff" patients are tho,e
with which the resident doctors,
under the supervision of attending
physicians, develop their skills.
Situation Altered.
Now" DR.. Williams wrote, "the
situation is altered. The staff cases
are at a minimum and the house
officer feels he is being cheated"
One reason for this feeling, he
said, is that a resident doctor in
surgery, for example. feels that un-
less he himself does the operation,
he cannot learn.
This stems from the belief that
the mere performance of the opera
ton Is the mark of the accom-
plished surgeon" DR.. Williams said.
"Of course, this Is not true"
Careful diagnosis, care of a pa
tient about to be operated on and
his care after the operation are all
parts of training too often neglected,
he continued.
"Preoperative tranquility is more
satisfactory when induced by calm
and kindly words than by drugs" DR..
Williams declared.
Aiding Morale Stressed.
The essence OF the art Of medi-
cine" he added, is in the fact that
a doctor must learn to "insert into
his crowded hours a few moments
to serve the spirits of his patients
instead of being SO busy that he
substitutes capsule"
Let the attending physician en-
courage the house physician to ex-
anime the private patient and share
some of the responsibility for his
care" DR.. Williams urged. Let
them work together rather than
separately and let there be a free
exchange of ideas on mutual prob
lems"
William r. Castle, Garfield Hos
pital president, declared In his an
nual report last week that many
doctors at his institution have per
mitted members of the staff to
assist in caring for their private
patients" because of the reduction
in charity patients.
Mr.. Castle said that while this Is
not the same as having an adequate
number of stan" patients, he felt
that additional training would be
afforded when the hospital develops
its out-patient department for clinic
patients.

MANNERS FOR SIeHT.sEERs

DEAR MRS. ME8DI1T: This summer
millions Of Americans will be visiting
our national shrines and historic places.
AZ White House housekeeper for the
Franklin ID. Roosevelts for IL years,
what did you think Of sight-seers?
ANSWER: Most of the time lived in the
White House. l found the visiting public
very pleasant. and nice. On the whole they
seemed to be an orderly. cooperative
lot and eager to learn facts or just to see
things.
Apart from the apparently irresistible
urge - at least in the White House - to

My best advice to people who are plan
ming to visit any of our historic places this
summer is to remember that they're privi-
legged to be there - for they're sharing in
the precious heritage Of our country.

Evidently it does things
for peoples egos if they
leave their names scrawled

places. The Statue of Lib

ceives this kind of atten-
tipn. And 50 do certain out

collect souvenirs, there were
only occasional lapses of be-
havior. But each lapse is
terribly important when you
realize how many thousands
of people trek through our
national shrines and historic
places every year.
1T SEEMS to me the proper
attitude for sight-seers is to
realize that they are enjoy

attitude most visitors have.
