Boy Given Maximum
Juvenile Court Term
For Assault on Woman

A 15-year- boy has been
convicted of rape and sentenced
by Juvenile Court Judge Edith
H. Cockrill to spend the rest of
his minority-just over five years
at the National Training School
for. Boys.
The youth, who has not yet
completed junior high school, is
William Leach, jr.. colored, of the
1000 block of Seventh street Sc.
Arrested only two days" ago, he
was charged with assaulting and
robbing a 27-year -old housewife
in her parked car at Thirteenth
street and Pennsylvania avenue
Sc. early last Saturday.
20-Minute Hearing.
The victim and her husband,
as well as the youths parents,
were present at the Commute
hearing before Judge Cockrill
yesterday.
Since rape is 4 capital offense
the youth might have received a
much, more severe penalty If
Juvenile Court had exercised its
legal right to waive jurisdiction
in such cases.
But Judge Cockrill, making her
first major decision since she as
sumed the bench three weeks ago,
said she kept jurisdiction because
the boy has no record Of other
criminal of1enses. Assistant Cor
poration Counsel Richard Barton,
assigned to the court, said he
recommended keeping jurisdic-
ton for the same reason.
The sentence imposed Is the
maximum in Juvenile Court.

Colvin Marcy, 69-year-old
caretaker of the Meridian Hill
Park fountains, faces a very sad
prospect next month.
The Interior Department for
which he's worked for 19 Of his
"a years in Government has ruled
that Mr.. Marcy must retire when
he reaches 10 late in September.
Interviewed at the park yester-
day afternoon. clad in hip boots
and clutching a dip net used for
keeping his beloved pools clear,
Mr.. Marcy was asked If he would
receive a large enough pension to
take care of himself and his sick
wife.
"Ill get maybe s140 or $3.50 q
month. But that's not the ques-
ton. I just want to work" he
asserted with considerable firm-
ness.
Mr.. Marcy was somewhat upset
when he learned he would have
to retire. He went so far as to
appeal to the White House.
His appeal was referred to Un-
dersecretary of Interior Oscar
Chapman. The latter ruled that,
since Mr.. Marcey's position is not
in the class for which exceptions
are made. there appears to be
no justification for recommend
ing his continuation in the serv-

Progress Is Keynote
a Years After Japan S
Surrender Decision
By the Associated Press

TOKYO, Aug. 15.-The fourth
anniversary of Japan's decision to
surrender to the Allies passed to-
day without any direct reminders
of their military collapse in World
War II. The japanese were told
instead how much progress they
have made since the war.
The only official statement by
an occupation official came from
w. ]. Sebald, acting United States
political adviser to Japan. He ad-
vised the Japanese to read again
Gen. MacArthur's Constitution
Day message of last May 3.
In that message Gen. Macarthur
said his purpose was to continue
to advance the transition of the
occupation from the stern rigid
ity of a military operation to the
friendly guidance of a protective
force"
This will be carried out. the AL
lied commander said, as rapidly as
the Japanese people are able to
"assumesthe attending autonomous
responsibility"
Newspaper editorials reported on
Japan's postwar progress. taking a
general view that the Japanese
have followed well the Allies con-
ditions.
Among Japanese politicians, only
Kosen Hirokawa, Democratic Lib
eral Party secretary, used the oc-
casion to issue a statement. He
said the greatest obstacle to a
peace treaty for Japan is the Com
munist Party's plan for violent
revolution.
The japanese government has
indicated it plans to shift observ-
ance of the day to September 2,
the date the surrender was signed.
