Montgomery Seeks
Way 10 End Escapes

More adequate facilities for
juvenile delinquents will be sought
in Montgomery County as the re-
suit of an attempt by three teen
age boys to escape from detention
quarters in the Rockville Jail.
Juvenile Judge Alfred D. Noyes
said yesterday he would discuss
detention problems with the
Montgomery County Council, de-
claring that in addition to a sep
|arate building for average cases,
there is need for more secure
quarters for tougher" delinquents.
Judge Noyes' comments followed
report by Jailor Joseph E. Mox-
ley that three youths had planned
to escape through a ventilator
over shower compartments. They
had improvised rope with strips
of six mattress covers and also
bound several blankets into rolls,
Mr.. Maxley said.
The jailer reported the venti-
lator had been pried open, so the
boys could crawl into an l8-inch
space below the ceiling. Then
they could have got onto the roof
of the jail, which is on the top
floor Of the courthouse, the jailer
said.
One of the youths was being
held for Pennsylvania authorities.
Another was wanted in New York
for burglary and the third, a 16-
year-old Silver Spring boy. twice
had escaped from st. Mary's In
dustrial School, Baltimore.

The turn of the century came
to life again last night. as white
haired Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Hall
Young received at Mount Pleasant
| CONGREGATIONAL Church on the oc-
casion of their 50th wedding an
niversary.
They were the first couple mar
ried at the church, and their
reception is destined to be one OF
the last events there, because the
congregation will move next
month to a new church building
on Westmoreland Circle at Mass
achusetts and Western avenues
NV.
More than 200 friends crowded
the front rooms of the church
and stood in a long line to con-
gratulate the golden wedding Gel
ebrants, who seemed tireless.
Many had moved away from the
Mount Pleasant neighborhood
years ago. and were meeting old
friends they had seldom seen
since.
When Robert Young was mar
ried so years ago he was quite
a catch. He was secretary of the
National Baseball League. His
father. Nicholas E. Young, had
been it's president for Is years.
That was back when there were
two ladies days a week. His
fiancee, Miss Frances 'Appleby
who was born near Dickerson,
Montgomery County, Nd, saw

PREPAID Health Plan
May Be Offered 10
Mary|anders in April
BY the Assoeioted Press

BALTIMORE, Mar. 1O.-Pre-
paid medical insurance will be
issued to Marylanders by April IS,
DR.. Louis H. Douglass, chairman
of the medical and chlrurgical
faculty of Maryland. predicted
today.
He said the full committee of
more than 80 doctors and sur
geons will vote Tuesday on ap-
proval of the essential details.
AS soon as the committee has
acted, DR.. Douglass added. it is
quite probably the faculty's house
of delegates will be called into
special session to act on the plan.
Final authorization must be made
by the State Insurance Commis-
sion.
DR.. Douglass said an over
whelming majority of Maryland
physicians favor the program and
are expected to enter into the
contracts.
He gave the following outline
of the plan:
Complete medical and surgical
care in hospital would be provided
under policies issued to single in
dividuals earning less than $4,000
annually. and to married men
earning less than $4,000.
The policy also would pay for
obstetrical care for the insured's S
wife, either at home or in the
hospital.
Home care also would be paid
for in some types of fractures.
For persons making more than
these sums, an indemnity-type of
coverage would be offered. Under
this policy, a stipulated proper
ton of the doctors bill would be
paid on behalf of hospitalized pa
tients-the proportion depending
on the observation-disclosures the
amount of reimbursement to the
doctor by the insuring agency
is fixed.
In the case of the policies Of
fered to the higher income brack-
cts. only hospitalized patients
would be eligible.
The policies would not cover
payment of hospital bills. This
would be left to disqualification
plans or insurance.

Board Lists 137
S|un Buildings
For Elimination
Early Action Slated
On 702 More Very
| Bad Structures

The District Board for Con-
demnatlon of Insanitary Buildings
has launched a campaign to rid
Washington of slum-type homes.
First on the boards schedule
are 1877 structures it hopes to elm
mate either by razing, repairing
or vacating. the three-man board
told the Commissioner yesterday.
5000 in Buildings.
There are about 702 other very
bad buildings. all located within
mile and a half of the Capitol,
which the board hopes to get rid
of next. according to Assistant
Engineer Commissioner Carlin H.
Whitesell. jr. These buildings, he
said, house an estimated 5000
persons.
The 702 buildings referred to by
Col. Whitesell are those buildings
about which residents have COM
planned. Col. Whitesell said there
are many others, but few District
employees are assigned to the work
of locating and inspecting the in
sanitary buildings.
William H. Cary, jr.. director
of public health engineering, said
there are four steps in forcing ac-
ton on the insanitary structures.
Notices Required.
They are: Inspections and re-
ports by inspectors on building
deficiencies: second check by the
board itself; issuance of a notice
giving individual owners 10 days
in which to show cause why a
building should not be condemned
and formal notice of condemna-
ton giving tenants Is days in
which to vacate if no satisfactory
reply is forthcoming.
Col. Whitsell said the board has
decided to take more determined
action to bring about corrections
of insanitary conditions now that
more plentiful building supplies
are available. The board will not
only force more repairs but will
insist on repairs of higher quality
than have been made some times
in the past, Col. Whitesell said.
