Planning Commission
Seeks Broader Role
In Dispersal Program

Proposed amendments to enable
the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission to partici-
pate more effectively in the Gov
ernments dispersal program were
being forwarded by that agency
today to Senator Holland, Demo-
crat, of Florida, chairman of the
Senate Public Works subcommit-
tee considering such legislation.
NCPPC spent the greater part
of yesterday discussing technical
phases of the program before f.
nally agreeing on amendments,
which John Nolen. jr.. director of
planning, will submit to Senator
Holland at Mondays meeting of
the subcommittee. He had testi-
fled before the group on Thurs
day.
Jess Larson, General Service Ad-
ministrator, had indicated to
NCPPC certain powers that should
be granted that agency under any
disposal program of a general ma
ture affecting Washington. Mr.
Nolen outlined these as:
/. The ability of NCPPC to OPP
crate successfully in areas so miles
from the Capital outside the
neighboring counties constituting
WaShington's environs.
2. NCPPC should be made ELI
gible to expend Federal funds in
cooperation with local govern
ments outside the environs which
embrace Arlington, Fairfax, Mont
gomery and Prince Georges Coun-
ties.
These amendments would not
in any way diminish the necessity
of enacting the NCPPC reorganiza-
ton bill at this time" Mr.. Nolen
said.
That bill would set up the agen-
cy as the central planning group
in areas within so miles, giving 1t
extended authority to advise in all
planning matters. It would pro-
vide also for local representation
on the planning commission.

AS it blasted away in a Spec
tacular simulated attack on a
captured German tank, experts
of the Ordnance Corps stressed
that the new Army weapon is
not an artillery piece, although
it appears to be small cannon.
They also said it is not COMPETE
tive with artillery.
1t is described as an item of
small arms development. a weap-
on for small infantry units. It
places unprecedented offensive
and defensive hitting power in the
hands of troop units which here
tofore have had no such power
The officers said the new 105- mill
imeter rifle replaces no weapon
but fills definite need for new
class of infantry armament.
The total weight of the rifle on
a jeep is 2.925 pounds. 1t is 1877
inches long and 81 inches wide.
Designated the NIT, it is not a
final design, because development
is continuing to improve the guns
performance and the handling of
the weapon and its ammunition.

Lists 1871 Cases
In November
164 Delinquent
Complaints Shown in
Report for Month

Juvenile Court Judge Edith
Cockrill yesterday released the
first monthly statistical report on
the work of the court.
The three-page chart, covering
November, shows 1911 complaints
made to the court during that
period. Many of these complaints,
however, have not yet been acted
upon, Judge Cockrill pointed out.
Of the total. 1854 involved delin-
quent children and 81 concerned
dependent children - that is,
children without proper parental
care, who are placed in the care of
the Board of Public Welfare by
the court.
The report show delinquent
children most prominent in the Is
to Is age group. In addition to the
30 children in this group. there
were so children in the 16 to 49,
year bracket. and "a in the 12-
year-old and below group. The
majority of the complaints came
from police. with the Board of
Public Welfare and the attend
ance department of the Board of
Education also bringing in chill
dren.
IL RObberies Under IL,
There were Is robbery reports
involving children under II; nine
involving children Is to 16 years
old, and one involving a delin-
quent in the 16-to-18 year bracket.
However, the 13-to-16 year old
group dominated the number Of
complaints of HOUSEKEEPING and
unlawful entry, with ~ reports.
Next came the 12-year-old and
under group, with II complaints.
The 16 to Is age grouping ac-
counted for seven of the COM
plants.
A majority of sex offenses-
seven-also was attributed to the
10 to 16-year-old group. The other
two complaints involved youths
Is to Is years old.
Youths in their early teens also
accounted for q cases of tamper-
ing or taking property without
right, compared to II cases in the
older age group.
Is Auto Cases.
However, there were IA COM
plants of unauthorized use Of
autos laid to the Is to 18-year-old
group, compared to two in the
middle age group, and two involv-
ing boys IL or younger.
The report breaks down the
number of complaints geographic
cally by reference to census tracts.
Complaints originated from 81
of the city's SO census districts.
The majority of complaints con-
cerned children living in six GEN.
sus tracts.
More complaints we're received
concerning children living in
Census Tract 70 than in any other
area. This district. from which
16 children were reported to the
court, is a Northeast section
bounded by East Capitol street.
the Anacostita River and the Dis
trict line.
Downtown Area Troublesome.
Next highest, with IA COM
plants, was Tract At, a crowded
downtown area bounded by Mas
sachusetts avenue, New York
avenue and North Capitol street.
Judge Cockrill said it probably
will not be possible to list dis
position of the cases until the
court gets a larger administrative
staff. She recently requested
authorization for a statistical
staff but was turned down by
Congress.
She announced plans to release
the monthly summary several
weeks ago, after complaints that
the public knew little about Juve-
nile Court and the types of cases
handled there.

Trains on the Nickel Plate and
A. c. and Y. railroads We're not
affected by the strike, and operated
as usual thru the town during the
layoff period, but nationwide dis.
ruption of mail service particularly
resulted from the strike action.
Delivery of periodicals and news
papers was far behind schedule dur
ing the strike action, and the mag
azines usually delivered prior to the
week end did not reach the local
post office until early this week.
Most first-class mail came thru on
a fairly prompt schedule, but parcel
post was delayed because of disrup-
ton of train schedules. Railway ex-
press shipments also suffered heavily
while the strike was in progress.
Altho striking trainmen were re-
called to work on Tuesday, it likely
will require a few days to clear up
the jam created on nationwide
scale by the cessation of work.

EGG MARKET
DROPS TO new
PRE-WAR Low
Dealers Quote Top Buying
Price of "a Cents Here
Wednesday Morning.
Mounting Supplies Far Outstrip
Demand, Despite Govern
ment Support.

Eggs on the Biuffton market drop
ped to the lowest level since before
the war Wednesday morning, when
dealers were quoting a buying price
on top quality large white eggs of
"a cents dozen.
From this top price, quotations
scaled down to 19c a dozen for me-
dunn size brown eggs.
The current market averages
about one cent below the pre-Easter
quotations when the market took a
bad break early this spring.
The present drop in egg prices,
dealers attributed to drying up of
the demand by hatcheriees which are
winding up their spring Matching
season, together with increased re-
ceipts in the large marketing centrs.
''There are just too many eggs in the
country" was the way one dealer
summed it up.
Although the federal government
continues to support the market by
purchases of dried eggs, dealers here
explained that lack of egg drying
establishments in this section has
caused prices to sag below support
levels because of expense involved
in transportation of eggs to these
processing centers.
