Forty Boys Implicated
In Scooter Paris Theft
In Chevy Chase Area

Forty scooter-driving boys in the
Bethesda-Chevy Chase area are
implicated in series of thefts,
burglaries and housebreakings &C.
curing over a period of two years,
Montgomery County police charged
yesterday.
Most of the boys - members of
well-to-do families-have admitted
stealing tires and other articles for
use on their scooters, police said.
They are from IA to is years old.
Approximately $1,000 worth Of
stolen tires and tools has been re-
covered and the police expect to
retrieve that much more.
No Evidence Of Gang Action.
The boys have been turned over
to their parents pending a decision
on court action. Detectives have
been in consultation with juvenile
authorities on what steps to take.
Detective Sergt. John P. Leahy
and Detective Corpl. Edward Bar
Der said there was no evidence of
gang action on the boys part
Rather, they said, it was a case Of
follow the leader"
The detectives said one boy stole
a rubber tire from a wheelbarrow
in 1947 and put it on his scooter
Another followed suit and the fad
spread.
Others May Be Implicated.
Subsequently, however, the scooter
crowd began picking up tools from
construction project sheds, includ-
ing electric motors. These were
used to build and work on scooters.
Before the detectives stepped in,
the boys committed an undeter-
mined number OF thefts, atx least
eight larcenies, two burglaries and
four or five housebreakings, police
said.
Only two or three of the youths
questioned so far denied theft ac-
cusations. detectives said. These
finally admitted taking part in the
operations. and virtually every boy
has supplied the name of another.
The detectives expressed belief
that others will be implicated.

as suggested at q meeting q few
nights ago. the L'Enfant Plan is
still up-to-date, and 1t is the subse-
quent plans which are obsolete, al
though they were probably thought
more practical by their less far
sighted makers"
The Fort Drive project will be
pushed, Gen. Grant explained be-
fore the meeting. The only section
now built is between Nebraska ave-
nue. and Fort Reno, in the vicinity
of the Woodrow Wilson School. He
said early construction of the Mill
tary Road section across Rock
Greek Park is planned.
"A well-balanced and co-ordi-
mated development, in which each
element is felt to be adequate and
adapted to its function, is a pri-
mary condition of a beautiful city
as we'll as of comfortable one" he
said. From time immemorial, dig.
nifty and civic beauty have been
accepted as prerequisites to a
worthy capital, and we propose that
beauty continue to characterize our
Nations Capital" .
But he suggested that the old
State, War and Navy Building be
preserved as an object lesson of how
wrong architects can be when they
are most confident that they are
right.

Police Back Up
$40 Bill With
Truman Balcony

had counterfeit bill last night
but police convinced him the note
was legal tender after all
The trouble was Mr.. Humans
balcony-that and certain other
changes on the new $40 bills, in
circulation for only a couple of
weeks.
The matter came out when he
called police. The dispatcher re-
layed the message to a scout car:
Explain the difference between
the old and new bills to this gentle
man.,
What is the difference?' the
scout car crew inquired.
So the dispatcher told them about
the balcony. He also explained that,
on the new bills, the trees and shrubs
in front of the south portico Of the
White House have grown, the flag
pole is higher and there are two
new bushes. Also, the words white
House" have been replaced by 1.-THE
White House"
Then the policemen put the drug
gist's mind ut rest.

Planners Continue
Study on Extending

Federal planners yesterday with
held approval of program to ex-

more detailed study, but they re-
luctantly approved the site op-
posite the National Gallery Of Art
chosen for the Mellon memorial

Action was taken at the closing
session of the National Capital

The design of the Mellon foun-
tain and its location on a triangle
on the east side of Sixth street at
the intersection of Constitution and
Pennsylvania avenues NV. al
ready has been approved by the
Commission of Fine Arts.
THE planning commission feels
that the triangle is not an eminent
ly suitable place for such a fine
memorial" Maj. Gen. U. S. Grant
III, chairman, announced, but it
wont interfere with plans for. traf-
DC characterization at this poiat."
+ Stadium Project Studied.
BEFORE adjournment, the COM
mission referred to It's staM for
study Q proposal that a. minor
sports stadium be built on some
suitable site in the District. Not
knowing Of any suitable site of
hand, the commission directed that
a study be made to determine
whether one can be found This
action, however, did not indorse
SUCH a stadium as a commercial
project.
The group studied three aiterna-
tive plans for extending and widen
ing Independence avenue to solve
bottleneck that affects both auto
mobile and transit traffic. The
problem has been under study in
cooperation with District officials
for some time.
Involves Property Purchase.
The plans generally call for WIDEN
ing independence avenue in the
vicinity of the Botanic GARDENS and
extending it, through B street, to
the Library of Congress and Old
House Office Building. Considerable
property would have to be bought,
Gen. Grant said, and it was felt
the plans call for more thorough
study.
The Federal planning officials
held an afternoon session with the
Joint Committee on the National
Capital, an advisory group, repre-
senting nine civic and professional

mendations were considered, but the

FOOD BUDGET.

(From c. B. r., Jr., ArltngtonJ
Ours Is a family of five, includ-
ing two school children, and my
weekly expenditures on food runs
between $40 to $25. That covers
luncheons for every one, as the
adults take theirs too, and also
feeds two cats and dog. We
have ample breakfasts, fruit or
juice, cereal. eggs or bacon or
scrapple. toast, jam, milk, coffee,
and lunches include sandwiches,
fruit, cookies and. in one case, a
thermos of soup. The children
get their milk at school. For din
ner we always have soup, a main
course and either dessert or a
salad. In marketing, I watch the
papers for specials" and buy
seasonal fruits and vegetables. I
do buy the less expensive cuts of
meat. as I find that with slow
cooking and adequate seasoning
they do very we'll. I use butter on
the table but margarine for cook
ing, even for making hollandaise
sauce. I buy no sweet cream,
using the top of the milk, but do
get pint Of sour cream a week.
If I have any tricks" they are
these: I save all leftovers because
what can't be combined with
something else or used in a casse-
role can go into the soup pot.
can't say enough about the use
fulness Of soup. After a filling
soup, which also gives them good
food value, the family is satisfied
more easily with a smaller meat
course. Tonight, for instance, we
shall have cream of spinach soup
made from about rs of cup of
leftover spinach, pureed, added to
a thin white sauce and a bouillon
cube dissolved in a cup of water.
Many other vegetable leftovers
lend themselves to this treat
ment. I buy chicken necks
and backs g pounds 60 long

serves for two meals, strip the
meat off the bones and have
enough for a chow mein, or to
cream with some mushrooms. or
use in any number of other ways
One pound of hamburger goes
long way In chilli; another of our
family favorites is a big platter OF
spaghetti, over which I pour a
sauce made with l pound OF ham,

the size of small walnut and

make the desired quantity and do

For instance. recently we had a
