Relief for Juvenile Court

The record shows that there is urgent
need for the relief which bill introduced
by Senator McGrath would give to the
Juvenile Court. The relief would be in
the form of second judge for this over
loaded tribunal The simple fact is that
the work of this important court has in
creased beyond the capacity of one judge
to handle with the thought and care which
the difficult task merits.
The plight of the court has been ag
gravated by the long illness of1Judge Fay
Bentley, who has become a voluntary
patient at st. Elizabeths Hospital. Before
she was stricken last September Judge
Bentley had found time to take only one
vacation since creation of the court in
1888 When 1t is considered that an aver
age of seventy cases comes before the
court each day, the futility of trying to
handle juvenile cases on anything other
than an assembly-line basis is obvious.
Cases involving nonsupport of children
have increased about 80 per cent in the
past two years, according to Miss Virginia
Clary, director of social work of the court.
Cases having to do with illegitimate
children have increased from 100 in 1946
to 460 in 1948.
Passage of the McGrath bill would, in
fact, afford relief to both the Juvenile
Court and the Municipal Court, for the
latter court has been supplying judges to
substitute for Judge Bentley during her
Illness Chief Judge Barse of the Munic-
1pal Court says that this has greatly in
creased the backlog of cases in his court.
Judge Nadine Gallagher at present is oc-
cupying the Juvenile Court bench. 1t is
proposed to use the extra Judge to relieve
the Municipal Court of the loan arrange
ment This would not solve the problem
caused by the continued absence of Judge
Bentley, of course, but if she should retire,
q second Judge would be appointed to
share the case load. Unless this aid is
forthcoming the situation at Juvenile
Court is bound to grow worse-and COM
petent observers say that 1t Is bad enough

FLORENCE JACKSON,
Police Department Payoff?


To the Editor Of The Star;
First, and just for the record, I am not a
member of a Pyramid Club, mainly because
l am not lucky at things like that, and be-
cause my mind rejected the theory that
everyone gets paid off, and unless everybody
could, probably wouldn't.
However, I am, nevertheless, incensed at
the action that the Police Department is
taking I think 1t is perfectly ridiculous,
ana the only possible reason I can see for
1t Is that they are not getting paid off In
thls instance. To my mind, the Bureau OF
internal Revenue has perfect right to take
an interest, but the Police Department

Liquor Taxes and Zoo Fees

Liquor Taxes and Zoo Fees
To the Editor Of The Star:
When I read over and over about our
municipal treasury here in Washington run
ming low In funds, I wonder why there al
ways is so much controversy when sugges-
tions are given to improve such situation
Why couldn't we increase taxes on liquor
and charge a small fee for admittance to
our Zoo?
The mere thought Of increasing taxes on
liquor gives habitual drinkers the shivers.
But perhaps that would be more of benefit
to them than they think. It Is well-known
fact that many people come to the District
from many States and buy their liquor while
here, because they can get it easier and
cheaper. Surely, II they have plenty of
money to buy liquor in large quantities, they
could afford to pay more tax. Perhaps we
would not sell as much liquor but, in moral
sense, that might be better for our reputa-
ton here in Washington. This tax could
be lifted for hospitals or doctors prescrip-
tions.
Our Zoo is one of the most complete and
well kept in the country. Most other cities
charge fees and their people do not object
Why should we? People in these places also
have children that enjoy ZOOS, yet they are
always full. A small fee Of, say, IS cents for
adults and 10 cents for each child would not
be hardship and would help considerably
toward maintaining our Zoo, when our funds
are needed so badly elsewhere. Our Zoo is
an expensive asset.
II we were a wealthy city, we could go on
and on just as we always have, but 1t stands
to reason when city grows as fast as ours,
we need added police and fire protection.

ing that 1t has become Frances largest
single party. The Communists lost slightly,
though still polling % per cent The re-
naming II per cent of the total went to
various smaller groups.
These results show no stampede Of the
voters to the extremists. BY inference,
the government bloc can continue effec-
lively to hold power if it can hang together
internally. And its prospects are likely to
be improved by the "runoff" elections
slated for next Sunday, when indecisive
contests are settled by another balloting.
Frances prospects of stability are thus en-
hanced by the outcome.

The French CuntonoI Elections

In normal times, the elections just held
In France would rate barely mention
abroad. This is because their legal reason
was to choose members of the Depart
mental Assemblies bodies restricted
to municipal functions. And ordinarily the
results turn on local issues and person.
alities.
However, the times in France are not
normal. The country is deeply divided on
fundamental policies, alike domestic and
foreign. And the French National Assem-
bly,, the predominant branch of govern
ment under the new constitution, no
longer reflects public opinion that has
manifestly altered since the Assembly was
elected three years ago. Yet, under the
constitution, the Assembly has five-year
term and cannot be dissolved except under
conditions not likely to arise. So the
opposition parties take advantage Of other
elections to try and turn them into demon
strations of their own strength and the
unrepresentative character of those parties
which control the present legislature The
parties now dominant in the Assembly
form the so-called middle Of -the-road
bloc-an uneasy coalition between Social
lists, left-wing Clericals, and slightly right
ist liberals misnamed Radicals. Although
they differ markedly among themselves,
especially on domestic issues, they hang
together because of their common. fear of
their extremist opponents. Those extrem-
lists are, of course, the. Communists and
the ultranationalist and authoritarian
movement headed by Charles de Gaulle.
The De Gaullists, especially, demand a dis
solution of the Chamber and new parlia-
mentary elections. The Communists would
like to see such elections, less in the hope
of themselves winning as in the expecta-
ton that this would provoke disorders and
general instability.
The last cantonal elections were held in
1945, just after Frances liberation from
the Nazis. At that time the De Gaullist
movement did not exist, conservative opin-
ion generally backing the Clerical MRP.
AS for the Communists, they we're even
then strongly organized and relatively
popular, though the Socialists had a still
stronger following. The present cantonal
elections thus became test of political
changes The government bloc cam
paigned on it's record of moderating sta
bility; the De Gaullists on the need for
new elections to Save the Republic" from
governmental ineptitude; the Communists
on the fear of war and opposition to the
Atlantic pact
BY and large, the results of these elec-
tions are favorable to the government
bloc. In the first place, falling off of
the vote tended to show electoral apathy,
despite the harangues of extremist orators.
This implied relative contentment with
the government policies, or at least dis
inclination to seek more radical solutions.
The government parties got about IS per
cent of the 100000 votes cast, approx
mately one-third OF the total. In this COM
bination the Socialists Jared best and the
Radicals next, the Clerical MRP continu
ing its decline in popular favor. The De
Gaullists got rs per cent OF the vote, imply

Why Not Rabbits?


To the Editor Of The STAR
The Rabid Rabbit Pyramid Club is de-
signed to end all Pyramid Clubs.
Coin Of the realm is not required. Simply
bring two guests, one female and one male.
Each guest will bring rabbit Of the op-
posite sex.
Every participant is guaranteed 1000
rabbits. Should any one lack the sporting
instinct and fail to bring a member. the
very nature of the rabbit family will make
up for the deficit.
No one can lose. This club is eco
nonlically sound and attuned to the season
of the year. Easter week the rabbits can
be sold to children whose parents will ap-
propriate the rabbits the next week for the
furtherance of the Rabd Rabbit Pyramid
Club.
Rabbits are edible and can alleviate the
meat shortage. Rabbit stew tasted mighty
good once upon q time in France in the
year 1914.
Fur-lined gloves can be a by-product of
this club.
This may we'll be panacea for all the
economic ills Of the world.
1t is the considered opinion of the under
signed that this club will not be in violation
of the District lottery laws.

Canada Cuts Tuxes

The budgetary program laid before the
Canadian Parliament by Finance Minister
Douglas Abbott makes cheerful reading
for citizens of the Dominion. It may like
wise evoke certain wistful envy on the
part of our own taxpayers. For the pro-
gram involves notable fiscal reductions
running all the way from cuts in income
tax rates including corporation taxes, to
excise levies on such nuisance" items as
chocolate bars, soft drinks, cosmetics and
matches. Furthermore, these tax reduc-
tons are accompanied by considerable
relaxations on the import restrictions i'm
posed sixteen months ago, while price
ceilings on many articles, especially food
items, are removed
All this adds up to q bright picture
And the best part is that 1t reflects a
rapid improvement in Canada's economic
life. Indeed, 1t is the deserved fruit Of
wise financial policies consistently pursued
throughout the postwar period.
The close of the late war found Canada
in rather paradoxical economic situation.
Internally, It's economy was sound, with
high level of domestic prosperity, record
employment. and large volume of export
trade. However, the war had vastly in
creased the national debt while the world
economic picture was dubious, especially
in regard to foreign exchange. Before
long, the darkening prospects of peace
evoked the likelihood of increased expend-
itures for military purposes.
Under these circumstances, the Finance
Ministry determined to take no chances.
Proceeding on orthodox economic lines,
taxation was kept at levels high enough
to provide handsome surpluses which were
applied to reducing the national debt,
preparing for emergencies, and checking
inflationary tendencies. The retention of
controls likewise prevented sharp rise
in the price level And when the inter-
national exchange situation caused q
shortage Of United States dollars, there
was no hesitancy In imposing sharp re-
strictions on the import of consumer goods
and capital from south of the border
This long-headed economic foresight is
now paying of. Canada is in so sound
and stable a condition that it is enabled
to take full advantage of improved condi-
tions, both domestically and in its foreign
economic relations. In all that is being
done there is no hint Of politics" The
entire program is based on economic and
financial realities.

On the Sex of Governments

One must take a rather cautious view
of DR.. Oscar w. Junek's proposal to let
women rule the world for the next 1000
years. DR.. Junek, professor of anthro-
pology at New York University, thinks
that they are natural peacemakers" and
that II they were allowed to run things,
there probably would be fewer wars than
we have had under congenitally "pugna-
cious" male governments. Maybe he is
right, but men must be pardoned If they
wonder.
To begin with, there are certain ques-
tions to be asked. For example, has DR..
Junek ever seen the gentler sex in action
at bargain sale? Has he given thought
to the fact that Helen of Troy had face
that launched a thousand ships? Has he
pondered the possibility that the history
Of the Roman Empire might have been
different, might have been much less
troubled, If Cleopatra had been ugly in
stead of pretty? Has he forgotten the
creative pugnacity of Englishmen in the
reign of Elizabeth? If hell hath no fury
like woman scorned, can he contemplate
with equanimity what might happen If
catty matriarchies inflamed enough to
pull each others hair? And what has he
to say about Ewes act in persuading Adam
to eat of the fruit of the tree of the knowl-
edge Of good and evil, thus starting the
long story of the worlds woe?
Perhaps DR.. junek has powerful answers
Until he comes forward with them, how
ever, doubts must be raised against the
thesis that women by their very nature,
cause less trouble and are better equipped
to maintain peace than men. The truth
is, in all probability, that change in the
sex of governments without an accom-
panying change in the hearts of all human
beings, male and female alike-would leave
the world as belligerent as ever. Anyhow,
a man ought not to be blamed too much
II he rises at this point to defend his own
shortcomings as being no worse than a
woman's. Chivalry has its limits.

the process of arithmetical progression, was
bound to run it's course in few weeks

But why have we made lotteries illegal?

that forbids lotteries. A legal, carefully super
vised lottery would end the numbers racket

acters make fat fortunes. and would provide
funds for Community Chests. social welfare
