Better Protection for
II|egitimate Children

The Senate District Committee
today approved and sent to the
Senate for action a bill to
strengthen legal protection for
children born out of wedlock.
The measure had been recon-
mended by the District Bar Asso-
citation, welfare authorities and
the Juvenile Court. it was an
nouncedSshy Senator McGrath,
Democrat, Of Rhode Island. COM
mittee chairman.
The bill also is designed to pre-
vent illegitimate children from
becoming public charges. 1t
would repeal the present law re-
garding children born out of we'd
lock.
Gas Company Charter.
The committee also approved a
bill to change the congressional
charter of the Washington Gas
Light Co., in several particulars.
The measure, Senator McGrath
explained. had been carefully re-
viewed by the District Public Util-
tiles Commission which recon-
mended its enactment in the pub
lie welfare. The measure would
permit enlargement of the Board
of Directors from it's present num-
ber of seven to not more than Is;
permit the company to change the
date of its annual meeting and
allow it to merge with its sub
salaries.
The bill also would repeal sew
eral old provisions of law which
would require annual reports to
Congress from both the Wash
ington Gas Light Co. and the
Potomac Electric Power Co.
"Antiquated" Provision.
Senator McGrath said that one
"antiquated" provision repealed
was one controlling the price OF
gas at a time prior to establish
ment here of the Public Utilities
Commission.
The committee formally ap-
proved the final revised version
of two important District bills for
home rule and sales tax. This was
a perfunctory but necessary action
following recent approval of the
provisions which we're finally
placed in complete form.
Reports on both home rule and
sales tax bills are being written
by the Senate District Committee
to be filed soon with the Senate
when they are officially reported
to be placed on the Senate cal
endar for action.

Beauty Shops Lag
On Licenses as
DeodIine Neors

The District Board OF Cosme-
tology today expressed fears that
the Easter parade refrain here
may be. My dear. I DO lock q
sight"
Reason for the concern Is the
tardy applications for renewal OF
beauty shop operators and EN-
ployes' iicenses-some 2,30o OF
which will expire next Friday and
without which beauticians can
not legally operate.
Only $50 OF the 5000 licensed
operators have thus far obtained
renewals. the board said today.
April Is is Good Friday--two
days before Easter Sunday--and
the board customarily closes at
noon. During the upcoming and
traditionally busy week. the op-
orators must have a physical ex-
animation and present the medi-
cal certificate before applying for
the renewal. the board warned.

There were about 10 mice and

Doctors Asked 10 Help
Alert Public on. Crime

H. H. Clegg, assistant director
of the FBI. last night called on
doctors to help wake up people
to the facts Of crime"
Most crimes are solved by alert
citizens, who pass on information
to law officials and leave the ar
rests to them. Mr.. Clegg told a
banquet meeting of the South
eastern Section of the American
Society Of Anesthesiologistss in the
Hotel Statler.
Doctors are in good position to
aid law enforcement because of
their constant contact with peo-
Pile. he said, adding that it also is
time to wake up people to some
of the prevailing PHILOSOPHERS"
about crime.
One. which originates in the
underworld, he said. is that ANY
one who would report any one to
police is a dirty rat. a souealer." "
Another, he said. is the often
heard expression that criminals
should not be held responsible for
crimes because of factors involv-
ing their environment.
The FBI official spoke to the
group on The Doctor and the
Confidence Man" Later, he told
reporter his definition of "con
man" was unofficial and designed
specifically for benefit of the
anethesiologistS.
The definition:
"One who wins trust, obtains
cooperation. acts as II he were
trustworthy, dulls the sense O!
alertness, relaxes his victims
makes them insensitive as to plans
and operations and soothes them
into condition of non-resist-
ance"

Selection Of new commanding

could pick a candidate. 1t was
learned from an Army source
today.
A recommendation from the

tration section of the General
Staff now. and study is being
made there OF a restrictive clause
understood TO have been placed
in the order to the board oy an
officer in that Office. 1t required
that the candidate have his "prin-
cipal activities, interests and busi-
ness" in the District.
After canvassing of the candi-
date the board is said to have
recommended the appointment OF
Col. LIE Roy s. Mann. senior line
colonel in the District Guard and
commander of the 260th Anti

also Is the largest single unit IN

to have been eliminated because
OF the fact that Army troops

Just how far the special selec-
ton board went in pointing out
its restrictions in its report could
not be determined. But it was in

perturbed over the way their ulti-

Traffic violators will be notified

when a serious traffic offense has

that District motorists will gel

tions.
Maj. Barrett instructed his mer
to make it plain to all traffic vio.
lators that forfeiting collatera
does not preclude the possibility
of subsequent permit suspension
He also notified the police force
that it is not to advise motorists
whether to forfeit collateral or &c
to court.
Drivers Can Appeal.
At the same time. it was dis
closed that Commissioner John
Russell. Young has asked Mrs
Silver to notify all drivers al
the same time and on the same
piece Of paper when a motorist
receives a suspension order. In
the future, she will make it plain
to- drivers whose permits have
been suspended that they may
appeal the suspension within five
days
previously. the board had moi
given notice of sppeal rights tc
motorists. The possibility oi

auto inspection stickers.
Commissioner Young said q
recommendation Is now pending
before the city heads that woulc
require police. in addition to Mrs
Silver. to notify drivers of theii
right of appeal.
The twin moves for granting
motorists more complete informa-
ton were the result of correspon-
dence between Mr.. Young ano

Procedure Criticized.
Senator Smith told Mr.. Youns
that the Maine motorist did no
know he was entitled to appea
the suspension. On March 29
Mrs. Smith wrote to Commits
sioner Young that this procedur,
strikes at the very heart of dem
ocratic principles OF civil rights.
In a subsequent letter. she saie
she thought it would be NOR,
practical to print on the suspen
sion order a statement of tn,
right of apepal. Mr.. Young re-
piled that such recommends
ton already was pending befor,
the Commissioners
