Juvenile CourtP|an
Has Paid for Itself in
County, Board Is Told

Institution of the juvenile court
system in Prince Georges County
in July. l947, has paid for itself
Roy D. Bright, senior State parole
and probation officer for Southern
Maryland, made this assertion yes
terday at Upper Marlboro. when he
presented an oral report to the
Prince Georges County commits
sioners.
Most Of the savings, he told the
commissioners, were effected by the
appointment of two probation Off
GERS for the county. Their appoint
ment was authorized under the
juvenile court bill adopted by the
Maryland State Legislature in 1947
Collections made by the two Of
ficials from parents and other
sources toward expenses involved in
confining of juveniles to correc.
tional institutions of the State
brought in $1,000 for the year, Mr.
Bright reported.
Cost Set at $4,000.
On the other hand. he explained
operational costs for the same
yearly period total about $4,000, in
cluding salaries of the two men and
other expenses.
Had it not been for the collec-
tions from parents for the board
OF their children while in correc-
tional institutions, the county
would have to pay that amount to
the State from its own funds, Mr.
Bright said.
Order Accounting Simplified.
In other business, the commits
sioners directed County Engineer
Arthur w. Tayman and Linden
BriScoe, their clerk, to arrange fol-
an accounting system to simplify
the procedure for noting road con-
struction and maintenance expenses
The practice of engaging out
side" consulting engineers by Mr.
Tayman to design small bridges and
other work for the county was
ordered halted by the commissioners
as an economy move. Such design
ing, they said, should be done by
Mr.. Tayman.
Commissioner T. Hammond Welsh
and the boards attorney, Waldo
Burnside, were designated to repre-
sent the county on the Legislative
Committee of the County Commits
sioners Association of the Western
Shore, 13-county organization in
Maryland.

From the moment when the
Hiroshima bomb first signaled the
end of World War II, one thing
has been clear-that until some
other nation possesses q similar
atomic weapon, there viii be no
World War III.
Keeping Americas atomic Sc
crets, therefore, is the surest guar
anty of keeping world peace: far
surer than any North Atlantic
pact or Marshall Plan or military
Ilend-lease program that could be
devised.
But are we keeping those secrets?

when he realizes that his govern
ment already possesses all these
reports and still has sent him out
to learn our atomic secrets. About
all he can do Is to send home a
cable reading. What secrets?
and head for the nearest padded
cell.
America does have atomic
secrets, of course-chiefly the me-
chanical gadgetry and the indus
trial know-how that translated a
scientific theory into a flaming
pillar of reality-but the United

Here are Just a few Of the things
about our atomic energy program
that are not secret:
Uranium is the only known basic
substance-and the only probable
Ione-from which an atomic bomb
or engine can be made. Relatively
unimportant quantities Of uranium
are mined domestically, but for
our principal supply we are de-
pendent on foreign deposits. nota-

the toughest job we faced in max
