tions or any new machinery for

reports. The land agency at that
time said it could operate under
either set of procedures.

Improvement Plan
For District Agencies
Is Making Progress

The Districts internal manage
ment improvement program is un-
der way, the Budget Office reported
yesterday.
Re ports on several proposed re-
organizations of agencies, includ-
ing the Auditors Office and the
Receiving Home for Children
have been submitted. Now under
study are reorganizations of the
Budget, Purchasing and Water
Registrars Offices.
Each major agency has been
visited and reports are coming in
on major management problems
and what is being done about
them.
The Commissioners, last May
20, approved "the comprehensive
and continuous" program to i'm
prove the organization and man.
agement of the District. Still
pending is Budget Officer Walter
L. Fowler's proposal for overall
reorganization of the District Gov
ernment.
Objectives Listed.
Top objectives in the program
include: !.
/. Simplification of purchasing
procedures to get rid of red tape
that may cost the city several
times the price of some items it
has to buy.
z. Preparation of organization
and procedure manuals to aid new
officials in their work. Some such
manuals are in use in the Cor
rections and Health Departments,
and one has been developed to
clarity the new performance
budgeting" process for the next
fiscal year.
8. An information program on
management improvement activi-
ties within the city government to
keep agencies up to date on what
their fellow Offices were doing.
Development of Manual.
4. Development of an employees
manual telling employees of their
various rights and privileges.
5. Establishment of a better
personnel program, especially for
recruitment.
In addition, the improvement
program will attempt to wipe out
a general lack of uniformity in
paper forms, such as requisition
and purchase orders, promote bet
ter annual reports on the city
government, and improve the ad-
ministrative reporting system.

GI's Arrest Completes
Suspects Roundup in
Teen-Age Dope Case
By the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Aug. 18.-Arrest
of a soldier in Pennsylvania has
completed the roundup of four
men charged by the Baltimore
grand jury with taking teen-age
girls on dope parties.
Two jockeys, a racetrack exer-
else boy and colored laborer were
previously.
Robert Lowe Williams, a o.
year -old Army recruit from Balti-
more, was turned over to Balti-
more authorities by the Army. He
had been taking basic training at
the Indiautown Gap military res
|ervation near Harrisburg, Pa.
The jockeys, the exercise boy,
and Williams were charged by the
grand jury after it heard three
teen-age girls tell their stories.
States Attorney j. Harold Gra-
dy said the girls. along with four
others questioned later, told of
going to parties at a suburban
hotel near Pimlico race track and
being piled with marijuana and
|heroin
The two jockeys are Frank No
vella, 81, of Lawrence, Mass, and
James McDermott, 81, of Louis
vile. The exercise boy is Sonny
Dion 10.
Charles Richardson, colored, of
Baltimore, who frequents the race
track and sometimes works at a
Melrose, Md, cannery. is charged
with providing the drugs and in
some instances administering them
to the girls.
Mr.. Grady said the girls told of
accompanying the men when they
picked up narcotics at Richard
sons home or drove to Washing
ton for them.
Two other jockeys were picked
up at Bel Air race track earlier
this week and questioned about
the case. The track suspended
them but they were reinstated yes
terday by the Maryland Racing
Commission when officers ex-
planned they were involved only as
witnesses for the State.

State police gave this account
of the accident:
The women were on their way
from Washington to Ocean City,
Md. about 2::20 am. yesterday
They were driving south when
they saw a body lying in the north
traffic lane of Route lib about
two and a half miles north of
Berlin. They drove on to obtain
help. Failing to find police inn
mediately,' they returned to the
scene.
They then saw lights on ve-
hicle travelling north and the We
hicle swerved to avoid running
over the man who was still alive.
The operator stopped and asked
the young women If they had
seen anything. They replied they
had and requested him to assist
in getting the man on the road
to q doctor.
The driver said he would not
and told them:
You better shove off,
They left, but not before they
secured the tag numbers of the
automobile. Maryland State
Trooper w. K. Tyler said he has
"a couple of good leads" and hopes
to make an arrest soon.

D. {. 10 Charge
Arlington More
For Wafer Used
Concurs With Army
In Plan to Ruise Rate
Lost Fixed in 1884

The District proposes to raise
its wholesale water rate to Arling-
ton, last fixed in 1884, it was
learned yesterday.
The Commissioners have noti-
fed the Army. which handles the
production end of the water sup
ply, that they concur in the
Army's proposed new rate of
$66.25 per million gallons taken
from the Dalecarlia Filter Plant.
Increase Anticipated.
Arlington County officials said
an increase in the wholesale rates
from the District had been antici-
pated in the setting of new rates
to county consumers effective
July l.
A combined water and sewer
service charge now is $3.50 for
each domestic unit in residential
dwellings and apartments, plus 26
cents for each 1000 gallons used.
The total water and sewer
charges are allotted 81 per cent
for the operation of the water
system, and IS per cent for the
sewer system.
Falls Church buys its water
from Arlington.
A. E. Schmitt, chief of the water
supply division for the Corps of
Engineers, said the increase to
Arlington is proposed because of
higher costs and expansion and
improvement Of Washingtons
plant.
d. C. Rate Is Lowest.
The District has the lowest do
meStic water rate in the Metro
politan Area. The average con-
sumer's bill here is SIS a year,
as compared with about $3.50 a
quarter in Arlington.
Hints that the District may be
in for an increase in consumer
rates came during House hearings
on the Districts budget this
summer.
David v. Auld, head of the Dis
trict water division, which dis
tributes the water supply, detailed
the effects of imitation on the
city's long-deferred expansion
plan.
Mr.. Auld said it was hopeless
to depend only on the $23 million
Treasury loan authorized by Con-
gress for the long-term expan-
sion, and that additional borrow
ing of millions to keep up with
imitation might keep the District
in debt for 73 years and cost $38
million in interest.
AS a last resort, he suggested.
a 25 per cent water rate increase
would produce enough money to
cancel out the effects of present
imitation.

at Pennington, N. j. h"I rode and
enjoyed it, except for once when
the pilot seemed to be moving
around on his course little toe
much"
Capt. Armstrong said that to-
days trip to Richmond was con-
siderably less eventful than his
last, when he piloted a crippled
Constellation to successful
crash-landing July 10.

D. {. Needs Approval
OF Congress 10 Ease
Union Station Traffic

District officials have been in
formed they must get congress
sional approval of their plan to
cut down the traffic confusion
around Union Station.
Engineer of Streets S. R. Har-
rison said a joint report by the
and Traffic Departments
is being prepared for submission
to David Lynn, architect of the
Capitol. 1t will be ready in about
six weeks.
Congressional approval is
needed, District officials were ad-
vised, since the plan involves the
Capitol grounds near Union Sta
ton.
One feature of the proposal is
to widen D street to make it more
attractive to through traffic from
the northeast section Of the city.
Object of this would be to bring
traffic down Second street and via
D street, rather than over Massa-
chusetts avenue.
The plan calls for simplifying
the plaza maze by other steps,
Including channelizing, reLghting,
and rerouting Of streetcar line.
Copies of the plan have been
sent to various interested agencies,
including the Public Utilities Com
mission, the Capital Transit Co.,
and the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission.
The report now being prepared,
Mr.. Harrison said. will also in
clude the Districts plans for i'm
|provements to independence and
Constitution avenues.
Assistant Engineer Commissioner
Carlin H. Whitesell has estimated
the cost of the Union Station work
at more than 100000. The re-
port will contain a breakdown of
costs chargeable to the District
and the Federal Government.

One of the most unusual and
amusing dinner parties given in
Washington in a long time was
one that was won at the Armory
Home Show. That's not double
talk, that's a fact. Mrs. John joss
took her 13-year- old daughter
Natalie with her to the show when
it was here a couple of weeks ago
and Natalie won a dinner party
for .25 persons from a firm that
manufactures waterless cooking
vessels! When the firms repre-
sentative saw the youthful years
of the winner, he insisted that the
party had to be an adult one.
Hence Nell and John Joss COL
lected some friends who could
hardly wait to see what was cook
ing. The affair took place a few
nights ago and on hand tremu-
lously halting to hear about each
mouthful were the Forrest van
Slycks, Janet and Rab Wilson,
the Walter Whites, Buster" and
Mary Alice Stoddard, the James
Lynns, the Bob Learneds, the
Dan Partridges, Mrs. Philip Owen,
the Ned Foote's, "Tattie" and
Butch" Leverich, Mrs. Frederick
Lee and young Natalie and her
friend, Jane Lee.
Manuelita White won a prize
for eating the most pancakes "a
noteworthy accomplishment, it
seems to yours truly and Lillian
Owen won a door prize. Unlike
most Capital dinner parties, the
guests were invited into the kitch-
en- for an enlightening talk before
hand. The cheapest kind of food
was served to show just what
could be done and whether they
ate every nouthful cause that
man was watching over them, or
whether it was as delicious as
they claimed, I wouldn't know.
To show you what a feat was
Manuelita's, she ate four large
pancakes in addition to chuck
roast, carrots, potatoes, rice, cab
bage and cake with whipped
cream! You'd never suspect it
by looking at her.
