BOSTON, Feb. 3.-Don Gehr-
mann reeled off the fastest indoor
mile in Boston's track history
4:07 .9-for his 37th consecutive
triumph with a 12-yard decision
over Fred Wilt tonight in the
Boston A. A. meets Hunter Mile.
AS 1881 screaming spectators
almost lifted the Boston Garden
roof, Gehrmann uncorked his ter
rife closing squirt and pulled away
from the laboring Wilt with half
a lap to go.
Wilt and his FBI colleague,
Horace Ashenfelter, now stationed
in Boston, attempted to double
team against Gehrmann. But the
bespectacled Milwaukee insurance
specialist was immune to such
tactics.
Ignores FBI Pair.
He ignored the FBI pair en-
tirely and was content to run
fourth in the five-man field until
Ashenfelter clicked off the half
mile in 2:01.2.
Sweden's Bengtsson, second only
a half-hour before to George
towns Carl Joyce in the Lapham
1,000-yard run, turned in a
59.8 first quarter while setting
the early pace for the milers. Then
| the Swedish fireman left the track
to the really serious contenders.
Before bowling to Gehrmann for
the sixth time, Wilt managed to
lead for two laps and bring the
field to the three-quarter mark in
3:04.8. He was clocked in 4:10.1
crossing the finish line.
When Ashenfelter launched his
unsuccessful attempt to kill off
Gehrmann. the other starter, John
Joe Barry of Villanova, was far
in the ruck.
But Barry. last years Hunter
victor. managed to close fast and
take third place from Ashenfelter
while Gehrmann was uncorking
himself for Wilt.
Richards Disappointed.
Bob Richards of the Illinois
A. c., who became the second in
history to clear Is feet in New
York last week, managed only IA
feet 8 inches while gaining the
pole vault honors. Don Laz of the
University of Illinois took second
with 14-4 and George Appel of
Yale was third with IA fiat.
Richards, who considers the
Boston Gardens runway the best
in indoor track. had high hopes
of bettering his ISL Millrose meet
performance.
| Morgan State Colleges George
Rhoden outbattled Hugo Maiocco
of New York for a three-yard VIC
tory in the Hollis 900" event.
These experienced campaigners
permitted Cornell's Charley Moore,
last years winner, and Irving
Howe Of Boston College to set the
early pace. Then getting the gun,
Rhoden and Maiocco took off and
Rhoden's terrific drive off the
final turn, enabled him to win in
1:125.
Harvard's Ron Berman ran
third all the way with Moore and
Howe trailing him in that order
in the five-man field at the finish.
The first of the nights winners
was Harrison billiard of Cleveland,
who breezed to his ninth straight
Boston 45-yard high hurdles tri-
umph in ST. seconds.
Lanky Andy Stanfleld of Seton
Hall was clocked in 5.3 seconds

Puerto Rico 10 Vote
On Constitution TODAY
By the A,,ocia,ed Pres,

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, June 4.
Puerto Ricans will decide at
the polls today whether they want
constitution of their own. The
present basic law of the island is
the Organic Act passed by the
United States Congress.
Political observers believe an
overwhelming majority of the ill.,
400 eligible voters will favor a
constitution. The proposal is en-
Enthusiastically supported by Gov.
Luis Munoz Marin.
1t is opposed by the Independ-
ence Party, which wants to make
Puerto Rico a sovereign union,
and by a faction of the Statehood
Party, which wants Puerto Rico to
become the 49th American state.
Neither group is politically strong.
If the proposal is approved,
voters will choose delegates to a
constitutional assembly to be held
next August. The Assembly's draft
constitution would be submitted to
a referendum next January. The
United States Congress and Presi-
dent Truman would have to ap-
prove it before it went into effect.
Gov. Munoz Marin contends
that. for all practical purposes,
adoption of a constitution would
establish new agreement for
political and economic relations
between Puerto Rico and the
United States.
The opposition contends adop-
ton of a Puerto Rican constitu-
ton would impede independence
or statehood.

summarized, whereas at the pres
ent time an attempt is being made
to summarize all the information
In the court record. Provision
should be made in the statute to
enable the court to transmit a
summary of its information to
agencies prior to actual commit
ment in cases where commitment
is contemplated and where the
placement Of the child presents
unusual problems. Under the pres
ent statute. this information CAM
not be transmitted until the COM
mitment is actually ordered.
The present situation in rela-
tion to the right Of the court to
release information is confused.
Part of this confusion is the
result of recent directives issued
by the COURT which narrowly re-
strict the release of information
contained in both the legal and
social records of the court, to ac-
credited welfare and other agen-'
cies. This represents a departure
from practices which have hereto
fore been followed in the court.
AS pointed out earlier in the
report. exchange of certain infor-
nation between the court and
welfare agencies and agencies
operating in the area of law en-
forcement and defense activities
is necessity and should be per-
mitted.
A difference of opinion exists
as to whether the section of the
law relating to the inspection of
records applies to the legal
records. the social records, or to
both. Does this section relate to
inspection of records only or does
1t also apply to the release of in
formation contained in the records
as well? If it relates to legal
records only. is the law silent asI
to inspection and release of in
formation in the social record?
Who should have the right to in
Spect legal records? Who should
be permitted to inspect social
records? Who should be permitted
to have information contained in
the social records?
Although the committee is not
prepared to answer the questions
involved, certain principles should
be taken into consideration in
studying the problem. The COM
mittee believes that legal records
and social records, because Of
their nature. must be handled
differently. The degree of pro-
Evening star., 1951-06-04

lection accorded each must be diff
|ferent. The child, his parent OF
guardian, or his duly authorized
legal representative have an in
|herent right to inspect the legal
records. The judge should have
the right to exercise discretion as
to whether these individuals
should be permitted to inspect
parts of the social records. In
certain situations, this may be
necessary and proper.
Policies relating to inspection
of social records and the release
of information contained in them
should be different. In order to
facilitate the work of the court
and accredited social agencies in
the community, there should be
provision for a free exchange of
information and the opportunity
to inspect each others records.
Recommendations.
l. Primary discretion with re-
spect to determining who shall
have the right to inspect the
Juvenile Court records should be
given to the Juvenile Court judge
with provision for appeal to a
higher court. The present Dis
trict Of Columbia Juvenile Court
Act, section 1923 District of
Columbia code) places this dis
cretion in the District Court of
the United States for the District
of Columbia and should be amend
ed in this respect.
2. Provision should be made in
the District of Columbia Juvenile
Court Act which would enable
the court to transmit a summary
of its information to the agency
prior to actual commitment in
cases where commitment is con-
templated, and where the place
ment presents unusual problems.
Under the present statute, this
information cannot be transmitted
until the commitment is actually
ordered. II
3. A committee appointed by
the court in consultation with
other interested agencies, should,
as soon as possible, study the
problems surrounding the inspec-
ton of records and exchange of
information between the court
and other agencies for the pur-
pose Of developing sound policies
and procedures and recommend
Ing changes in legislation where

'GreengIass Identifies
Copy Of Atomic Sketch
Prepared for Russia
By the Asseeiafed Press

NEW YORK, Mar. IA con-
fessed spy who worked on the
atom bomb project at Los Alamos,
N. Mex, identified in Federal
court today a copy of a secret
sketch he said he gave his broth
er-in-law in January, 1945, for
used by Russia.
Former Army Sergt. David
Greenglass. the witness, said the
sketch showed a lens mould used
in the atomic process. He said he
also turned over to Julius Rosen-
berg, the brother-in-law, a list of
scientists working on the atomic
project.
Rosenberg. an electrical engi-
neer, his wife Ethel, who is a sis
ter OF Greenglass. and Morton So
bell, a radar expert, are charged
with conspiring to commit war
time espionage-an offense that
carries a possible death penalty.
Greenglass said he was on a o.
day furlough to New York when he
gave the information to Rosen-
berg.
II gave him a sketch of the lens
mould" he said. "I marked in
A, B. C, the parts of the lens
mould and defined on separate
sheet what these letters meant"
He said Rosenberg at the same
time wanted "a list of people who
seemed sympathetic to Commu-
nism" and who might be recruited
for espionage.
Greenglass said he prepared the
copy of the sketch yesterday. He
described it as true copy" of the
one he said he gave Rosenberg.
Defense counsel contended the
skech was an improper" method
of corroborating testimony, but
the objection was overruled.

from a Senate measure passed
last week, which would reduce
the induction age to 18, and ex-
tends draft service from 81 to
only "a months.
In addition, the House measure
goes along with the Senate pro-
posal to impose a 4-million-man
strength ceiling on the armed
forces. But. contrary to the SEN
ate bill, it provides that authority
for the draft of men for military
service would be wiped out after
June of 1854.
Hopes for Early Action.
Mr.. Vlnson said he hoped to get
the bill through the House before
Congress goes into an Easter re-
cess March %. There is little pos
sibility this could be done unless
the committee acts quickly enough
to have the bill clear the Rules
Committee and be brought to the
House floor within the next few
days.
Meanwhile. Mr.. Vinson dis
missed as nonsense" complaints
from military leaders that the
4 million strength ceiling would
threaten national security and tip
off potential enemies to smobiliza-
ton plans.
The chairman said all emer-
gency expansion should be con-
trolled by Congress. and pointed
out that the Pentagon will have to
go before the Appropriations
Committees for more money to
meet its planned expansion to
3.5 million men.

Navy Bill Providing
For Huge Carrier and
Atom Sub Is Signed
BY the Associofed Press

KEY WEST, Fla, Mar. H.
President Truman's signing Of
the biggest naval construction bill
since the close of World War II
was announced here yesterday.
Carrying authority for spend
ing an estimated 1925 billion it
will provide for building, among
other things:
l. A 57,000-ton aircraft carrier
capable of launching bombing
planes big enough to carry atomic
bombs to any potential enemy.
2. An atomic-powered subma-
rine.
The bill gives authority in all
for about 100000 tons of new
shipping and for reconverting l
million additional tons Of existing
shipping.
No Details Reported.
Announcement of the signing
OF the bill was made without COM
ment by Presidential Secretary
Joseph Short.
Although the bill contained
funds for construction of an atom
ic-powered submarine, no de-
tails of construction progress
have been revealed.
The bill was passed without a
dissenting vote and is one of the
first major enactments of the S2d
Congress. Funds must be pro-
vided in another bill.
The big carrier authorized by
the new law generally takes the
place of a 65,000-ton carrier on
which work was started during
World War II, but which was
junked while the hull was being
laid. The Navy, however, says it
will be of different design, even
more modern. Its estimated cost
is $235 million.
173 New Ships Planned.
In addition, Navy plans provide
for construction of 173 new ships
and the remodeling of 291 ships
already available. Emphasis in
the new program will be placed on
anti submarine vessels and mine
sweeperS.
The new carrier, will require
three and one-half years to build.
Most of the other ships are ex-
pected to be ready for use in two
years.
The new carrier will be 10000
tons heavier than the Navy's larg-
est existing carriers.
Included in the legislation is
ban against the sale or transfer
of any United States battleships,
carriers. cruisers, destroyers or
submarines without prior con-
gressional approval.

Alcide de Gasperi travelled to
London today for talks on British
Italian relations, a cabinet crisis
loomed here following reports that
three Labor Socialist ministers

ernment arose yesterday when the
Independent Socialists (PSLD and
the Union Socialists (PSUD went
through with long-discussed
move to join forces in an effort to
build up larger Socialist group to
oppose the Communists.
A condition of the merger re-
portedly was that the PSLI leave
the government. The unified
group also was reported support
ing the Atlantic pact defense pro-
gram.
Should the Socialist maneuver
force Mr.. de aGasperi to revamp
