Court Unable
To Get Records
0f1D.C.. Youths
Prince Georges Judge
Deplores Secrecy as
He Imposes Penalty

Secrecy surrounding Washing
ton Juvenile Court proceedings
has been termed unfortunate
and regrettable" by a Prince
Georges County judge, who or
dered confinement for two Is
year-old boys partly because their
District records were unavailable.
Judge Charles c. Marbury in
county Circuit Court at Upper
Marlboro also imposed a prison
sentence on a 17-year-old boy
with a Maryland record. A fourth
boy, Is, was placed on probation
for three years.
The youths, all colored, pleaded
guilty to auto larceny yesterday.
Senator Welker, Republican, of
Idaho, said today that he and
Senator Clements, Democrat. of
Kentucky, have decided to wait
until after the return Tuesday of
the subcommittee chairman, Sem
ator johnson, who is now in South
Carolina.
The Idaho Senator said he
would oppose the amendment be-
cause it gives the Juvenile Court
judge discretionary power to re-
lease the courts files.
The Idaho lawmaker sometime
ago came out fatty for an
amendment to the juvenile court
act which would guarantee re-
lease of certain files from the
court to certain officials agencies,
and he asked that an amend
ment be prepared to this effect
for consideration by the Judiciary
Subcommittee.
Called Cumbersome.
Juvenile Court Judge Edith H.
Cockrill has insisted that the
court law of 1888 does not permit
her to release information to GER
tain agencies.
Senator Welker furthermore
objected to the Commissioners
proposed amendment on the
ground it was cumbersome" and
would not offer real solution to-
the problem presented by the
controversy over release of in
formation.
The Commissioners amend
ment would give the Board of
Public Welfare the right to ex-
anime the courts records, but
provides that other persons and
private agencies could have ac-
cess to such information only by
discretion of the court.
Action on Amendment Delayed.
Meanwhile, action on the Dis
trict Commissioners proposed
amendment to the Juvenile Court
law was delayed at least until next
week.
In the Prince Georges case,
Judge Marbury said it was
conceivable" that different PEN
alties might have been ordered
if all records concerning the
youths had been available. Butt
he added:
''This court has no criticism,
direct or implied. of any court in
any Jurisdiction"
He said that, since the records
were not available, "the court feels
it must take the problem into it's
own hands and decide the matter
on the information it has"
Limited Information.
Officials of the Maryland Divi-
sion of Parole and Probation said
they are unable to obtain infor-
nation from District Juvenile
Court except as to whether cases
are active or inactive.
Judge Marbury sentenced the
two 15-year-old boys with District
records to 18 months each in the
Maryland House of Correction but
suspended prison terms on the
condition they serve the same
length of time in the State Re-
formatory for Males.
The 17-year-old boy was given
an indeterminate term, not to ex-
ceed three years, in the State Re-

 Hoey told the Senate that de ceit and subterfuge" were used in an attempt to obtain increased Fed eral matching funds for construc- tion of the airfield. His accusations included CAA and Territorial of ficials, George s. Schwamm, Terri torial director of aeronautics, and Stanley McCutcheon, attorney for the aeronautics division, who, he said, used "subterfuge" in attempts to get $148,000 of Federal funds for the airport land and construction. Hoey added that the money would not be paid to the Territory until the comptroller general has had the opportunity to make thorough investigation of the entire transac- tion.
 Gov. Gruening said he would re- serve any comment on the matter until he received full report of Senator Hoey's action, as he ques- tioned accuracy of the Associated Press dispatch.
 Sheldon Simmons, member of the Aeronautics Board for the First Division also reserved comment. He added that meeting of the board undoubtedly would be called soon and a statement probably issued to the press.

FIRST TESTS OF BABY K-B0MB TINTED MADE
Announcement In dieafes U. 5. Perfeeting Most
 Deadly Weapon

WASHINGTON, May 25, = tR = The United States hinted today it has made first tests of some kind of hydrogen bomb-perhaps of a "baby bomb" variety-and said they were successful.
 The language of the announce ment was guarded. But it seemed to indicate that this nation is at least well on the way to perfecting the most powerful weapon the world has ever known.
 Announcing that series of at omic tests had been successfully carried out" at the super-secret Eniwetak proving grounds in mid- Pacific, the Atomic Energy Con- mission and the Defense Depart ment in a joint statement declared:
 The test program included ex- periments contributing to Therm- onuclear Weapons Research"
 "Thermonuclear Weapons" means hydrogen bombs.
 Hydrogen Explosion?
 fThere was nothing in the an- rouncement to indicate whether or rot a hydrogen weapon of any ap- rreciable size had been detonated. But it is reasonable to speculate tlat at least small amount of Hydrogen material was wrapped Sfound" a regular A-Bomb of the s,sanium or plutonium type. s-An bomb would be necessary to provide the tremendous heat necessary to set off hydrogen fusion reaction.
 But if such a process were car ried out successfully with even a small amount of hydrogen mater ial, the way then conceivably would be opened to producing hydrogen bombs of any size and power de- sired within the limits of engineer ing and availability of materials.
 Heat is Problem
 Inere mas been unO11lclal spec ulation that the "triggering" pro- cess to provide the initial heat would be the toughest nut to crack in developing the H-bomb.
 Before the Eniwetok tests, the United States had exploded 13 at omic weapons.
 
 The latest were atomic explosions on Frenchman's Flats, near Las Vegas. Nev., on January 27, Janu- ary 28, Feb. l, Feb. ? and Feb, 6, 1851.
 On Sept. 24, 1949, President Tru- man said there was evidence an atomic explosion had been produced in Russia.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON. U Just year ago, an American citizen, George s. Wheeler, issued blast against the United States and announced his intention to live in Czechoslo- vakia He and his wife are still there, reportedly teaching school.
 Interesting inside fact about Wheeler is that, five years before, the U. S. Civil Service Commission had suspected his disloyalty and ordered him fired But thanks to the intervention of well-meaning friends, he was reinstated and per mitted to occupy key job in Ger many.
 The man who chiefly went to bat for Wheeler was David A. Morse, former counsel of the Ma tional Labor Relations Board, for
