Few Changes In Colony Day Plans

Little more was added to Col ony Day plans at last weeks committee meeting, which was poorly attended. It was an- nounced that Les Ray will assist James Hurley in planning the games and sports events for the day.
 Members of the Valleys two Girl Scout troops applied for concession. They plan to sell homemade candies and other sweets, and also to sell postcards of Valley scenes.

Juvenile Court Studies
Jurisdiction Over Boy
In Assault on Woman

Juvenile Court authorities today
were to decide whether they will
waive jurisdiction over a 15-year-
old boy charged with rape SO he
can stand trial in District Court
for the capital offense.
He is William Leach, jr.. colored,
of the 1000 block of Seventh street
Sc. who was traced to his home
and arrested yesterday by sex
squad detectives. He was charged

awaiting arrival of her Marine
sergeant husband from Camp

a laundry mark on a handkerchief
found in an alley near the attack
scene. They explained that the
boy. who has no previous criminal
record. at first denied the crime

fession.
Juvenile authorities may waive
jurisdiction, owing to the gravity
of the charge, police declared.
Meanwhile, the boy was held over
night at headquarters.

ant chief of detectives, said the
boy confessed that he saw the car
while homeward bound after an
evening with friends, and that his
intention at first was just to rob
the woman. They quoted him as
admitting the criminal assault
after severely beating the victim
on the cheek and wrist.
The boy, according to police,
prevented the housewife from
making an outcry by stuff1ng a
pillow from the carseat into her
face. They quoted him as admit
ting theft of $50 from her purse.
The woman has been released
from Gallinger Hospital. where
she was treated for bruises and
shock. She said she fell. asleep
and shortly after 2 a.m., she awoke
to find a colored youth had opened
the car door which she thought
she had locked along with the
windows. He beat her on the side
