BERLIN, July 9.-The Russian

For days, the Soviet outlets in
hot-tempered Berlin have put the
soft pedal on the old scores which
rumbled with drums and cymbals
against the West.
BY contrast. what the Russians
are saying now Is muted violin,
The answer, according to official

The Soviets have not dropped
their complaints against Western

against the Western currency
against the Vests avowed anti
communism.
Instead, they have skillfully
steered clear of these things. That
is a new departure.

'Doub|e-Parked Cars
Gone as Police Check
Judge Scott's S Protest

Judge Almond w. Scott had
no trouble at all with traffic con-
gestion around Municipal Court
when he left work yesterday.
AS result of his heated COM
plant in traffic branch last Satur-
day, when he said he wished news
photographers would take pictures
"of all the double parking viola
tions going on" two patrolmen
from No. l precinct maintained
a 4-to-5-p.m. vigil in the Court
house area.
No Picture to Take.
Whether motorists had heard
about the judges blast or whether
they were wary of the two police
men and a Star photographer on
the scene, F street between Fourth
and Fifth streets NV, yesterday
was as orderly as the judges
court.
Sergt. A. S. Douglas and Pvt.
N. H. Boone reported not a single
double parking violation. The
photographer went home with
out picture.
Capt. Howard E. Covell of No. l
said he assigned the patrolmen
to the area between the Court
house and the General Accounting
Office in reponse to Judge Scott's
complaint. although the judge had
not blamed police.
Keep Spot Check.
II regarded his statement in
court just as I would the COM
plant of any citizen" Capt.
Covell explained yesterday. He
added there have been previous
complaints of violations there, but
he pointed out the limited num-
ber of men available for traffic
patrol prevents constant check
of any specific area.
I'VE respond to all complaints
of this nature and then keep
spot-check in effect as long as
may be feasible" the captain said.
Judge Scott has complained that
motorists double-parked, appar-
emily while waiting for GAO
workers to get off work. These
cars sometimes have jammed F.
street so that the judge said he
could hardly drive out of the
courtyard.

School Repairs Urged
To Permit Removal Of
Child Guidance Center

District health officials have
asked the Public Health Service to
approve renovations needed at
Addison School in order to move
the District Central Child Guid-
ance Center there from its present
inadequate" quarters at Force
School, it was learned today.
DR.. Leopold E. Wexberg, director
of the Bureau of Mental Hygiene,
said about $1,000 in Federal funds
would be needed. The bureau gets
a $4,000 annual grant from Pub
lie Health each year under terms
of the National Mental Health
Act.
Inadequate Facilities Cited.
The move is planned because OF
inadequate facilities at Force
School, 1740 Massachusetts, avenue
NV. DR.. Wexberg said. The
clinic is operated nearly every day
In the school basement, and the
space is used at night for an
alcoholic clinic.
The move, he said, would great
ly expand operations of the pres
ent Georgetown Child Guidance
Clinic, now open two half days a
week at Addison School, Wiscon-
sin avenue and P street NV. The
Georgetown clinic faces pros
pect OF closing anyway, he said,
because of a lack of community
contributions needed to pay a
psychologist on duty there.
Citizens Consider Aid. I.
Meanwhile. the Progressive Citi-
zens' Association of Georgetown
last night voted to consider fur
nishing the $108 a month needed
for the part-time psychologists
salary until the planned move is
completed.
Under the plan. DR.. Wexberg
said, the alcoholic clinic would re-
main at Force School until a dis
rector is named and provisions for
a full-time permanent clinic are
made. The move to Addison
School will be made as soon as
the renovations are completed,
perhaps in two or three months,
DR.. Wexberg said.
