Not as blunt as motorists criti-
cism of Washington traffic, but
certainly more constructive. are
the findings OF a new survey on
congestion, just announced.
The third of four reports pub
lished from an origin and destina-
tion traffic survey taken in 194S
tells in 95 pages what every driver
here knows-that there are toe
many people and too many cars
in too small a space.
The fourth report, due late this
year, will contain 1850 figures
Recommendations and priority
lists.
Based on a study made for the
District and Virginia highway de-
partments, the Maryland State
Road Commission in cooperation
with the Bureau of Public Roads
the statistic-laden volume frankly
acknowledges:
"The need for increased capac-
/ ity is generally considered as criti-
cal by both the highway engineer
and the average citizen"

In another observation, the re-

Juvenile Court Bill

Juvenile Court Judge Edith H
Cockrill today asked for a con-
ference with Commissioner F,
Joseph Donohue tomorrow to tell
him what she thinks about pro-
posed legislation to make court
information available to COM
munity agencies.
Commissioner Donohue's office
said the conference was arranged
for 9:15 am. tomorrow at the
court.
In another development, Ar
thur Kruse, executive director o1
United Community Services, said
he would meet with Judge Cock
rill at ! pm. today in preparation
for a special UCS committee
meeting on the Juvenile Court
records issue Thursday.
Senate Group Moves in.
Judge Cockrill's request for q
conference with Commissioner
Donohue came less than "a hours
after the Senate District Com
mittee officially moved into the
controversy over her secrecy order
shutting off court information.
The committee instructed its
counsel, Gerhard P. van Arkel, to
draw up legislation giving COM
munity agencies access to court
information.
The proposed measure already
drawn up by Corporation Counsel
Vernon West-the one on which
Judge Cockrill wants to confer
would make it mandatory for the
Judge to release the social files of
the court to District agencies.
This would include the Welfare
Department, police, the schools,
parole and probation officers.
The change in the Juvenile
Court law. according to Commits
sioner Donohue's Office, would give
the judge discretion to release the
social files to private welfare
agencies. Under this proposal. II
she refused to make information
available to the private agencies
they could take their request tc
District Court.
The. social files, containing back
ground information on the home
environment, parents. school at
tendance. religious training ano
other elements of a child's life
have been completely closed te
community agencies by the judges
secrecy order. She has contendec
that the law does not give her dis
lcretion to release this information
although it was released by hel
predecessor. Judge Fay Bentley.
UCS Members Affected.
United Community Services has
come into the picture because its
membership includes the agencies
affected by the information cutoff
Mr.. Kruse said the special UCS
committee has been asked by the
UCS Executive Committee to make
recommendations on what in
formation should be made avail
able about children known to the
court and what changes in legis-
lation are needed to make this
information available.

BY making the disabled needy
eligible for federal aid, it is ex-
pected to be possible to increase
the assistance given to this group
without new appropriations by
the state, cities and towns. This
program would make approx

At present the disabled needy
