Blame Put on
Chief Executive
Deplores Charging Hin
With Shortcomings
Of Few Appointees

Navy Secretary Kimball said to-
day that to hold a President re-
sponsible for the shortcomings of
few of his appointees is "aS unfair
as it is ridiculous.
ITO staff the departments and
agencies of our Government, the
President must annually appoint
to Office many men whom he has
met only casually or not at all and
knows of them principally by their
record and reputation, he told a
luncheon meeting of the Junior
Chamber of Commerce at the Bur-
lington Hotel.
Therefore, he continued, to hold
the Chief Executive responsible for
the shortcomings of a few ap-
pointees is just as nonsensical as
it would be to hold the president
of bank responsible for the dis
honesty of a teller.
Popular to Point Shotgun.
"When the political heat is on,
and know it is popular to adopt
the sweeping allegation technique
and point shotgun when a rifle
would be more appropriate" he
said. "Our people, however rec
ognize these tactics for what they
are.
But when they affect directly
or indirectly every man and
woman in Government employ
ment, I think these tactics are
not only unfair but border on the
SubverSive issue because clearly
these tactics contribute to under
mining the confidence of the
people not only in their Govern
ment but in their system of Gov
ernment.
He paid tribute to Government
non-appointed workers and sug-
gested that to aid the appointees
"a system of permanent assistant
.secretaryships might be created.
THE average head of an ex-
.ecutive department appointed by
the President and confirmed by
the Senate can normally be ex-
pected to hold Office about 18
months" he said.
Student First Month.
"For the first few months, he
is usually a student learning from
the career people the ins and outs
of his new job. At about the time
he has obtained firm grasp on
his job, the bogey of economic
pressure goes to work on him, and
he realizes with some urgency that
he must soon make a choice Of
being in Government and suffer-
ing the economic consequences or
getting out and tending to his own
affairs.
However, for a career man iR
Government the problem is some
what different. The career man
who works his way through the
grades receives in general terms
salaries fairly comparable to those
paid in business and industry. !
realize, of course, that the Gov
ernment career man will never get
rich. He does, however, enjoy the
compensation of vancin G
through the grades on his own
merits and the satisfaction
iof knowing a job is well done. "

for the patients and
their families on how to help
themselves.
Physical therapy helps some
who are potentially able to be up
and around to get back on their
feet. The availability of skilled
nursing care often permits a pa
Itient to remain in his own home,
rather than go to a nursing or
lconvaleScent home.
But aside from indications and
instruction, the visiting nurses Of

the elderly and their families
Through their knowledge and un-
derstanding of the problems OF
the aged, they often inspire new
confidence and hope.
Agency of Chest.
Sometimes the patient himself
doesn't realize his capabilities
Sometimes his family is over-pro-
tective and misguidedly keeps him
from doing more to help himself
The IVNS is an agency of the
Community Chest. Those who can,
pay all or part of the visiting fee.
Others receive the service free.

formed that for the school year
beginning September, 1858, the
grades in the Nursery School will
be open to Negro applicants, sub
iect to the same conditions and
qualifications applying to the ad-
of other children.
This notification is in accord
ance with action taken by the
Board of the Beauvoir
School at its meeting on Tuesday,
October %. Shortly prior to this
the Chapter Of the Cathedral
by the unanimous &C
ton of those present, passed a
resolution, That the chapter
communicate to the Governing
Board of the Beauvoir School its
that education under
the auspices of the Cathedral
should be available to
children of all races on equal
terms and therefore its earnest
hope that the Governing Board
will open the lower grades Of that
school to Negro applicants for the
school year beginning Septem-
ber, 1852

e Episcopal School Will Open
Nursing Unit to Negro Children

for Boys and of the National
Cathedral School for Girls with
the recommendation that these
Governing Boards shall look for
ward to the adoption of like
policy in their schools at date
not later than the time when
any Negro pupils in Beauvoir
would become academically elig-
ible for admission to these schools
THE final policy decision in
the two upper schools will be
the responsibility of their Govern
ing Boards. Inasmuch as there
are four grades in the Beauvoir
School above the Nursery School,
any Negro children admitted to
that school in the fall of 1853
would not be academically eligible
for either of the upper schools
until the fall of 1883"
There are approximately 225
pupils in the Beauvoir School this

Forty-nine per cent more chill
dren were placed on probation by
Juvenile Court in 1852 than in
1851, Judge Edith H. Cockrill
noted in her annual report re-
leased today at the District
Building.
A total of SIG new probationers
during the year ending June 30
raised the overall figure to 887,
including the number of children
whose probationary status carried
over from the preceding year.
80 Per Cent Increase.
BY the close of the year. more
over, 512 children were still on
probation. This represented 80
per cent increase over the number
on probation rolls at the end of
fiscal 1851.
Judge Cockrill said that part of
the increase was due to a larger
number of complaints made
against Juveniles.
Another important factor. the
judge added, was that public well
fare institutions here are so over
crowded that the court finds it
useless in many instances to COM
nit its charges to public welfare
keeping.
Its the old story of sending
children in the front door of these
institutions and letting others out
the back door to make room for
the newcomers" Judge Cockrill
said.
She reported that a number of
juveniles placed on probation in
1852 had doubtful" qualifications
for that status. On the other
hand. the judge pointed out. the

courts responsibility is to return
youthful offenders for rehabilita-
ton in the home wherever possible
in preference to institutional COM
mitment.
The operation of the courts
probation section was hampered,
the report stated by a heavier
case load-a 81 per cent increase
in the number of complaints filed
against children. These totaled
3.169 children. 681 more than
were complained against in 1851.
THE effectiveness of the serv-
ices is hampered by the excess
sively high case loads of the
workers, making it impossible to
give as much supervision as is
needed in many cases." the report
declared.
Less Complaints on Husbands.
The court reported a drop to
2,175 from 1882 in the number
of complaints filed against mer
failing to support their wives and
children. OF this figure, 1903 cases
were either adjusted or referred
to community agencies.
The number of adults on pro-
baton for non-support during
1852 totaled 2,444, 282 less than
in 1851. Support payments COL
lected from these probationers
through the court reached $685.
644, more than $4,000 above the
amount collected from 2,726 pro-
bationerS during 1851.
Judge Cockrill attributed this
development to the courts main
tanning a closer check of these
adults to keep the support pay
mentS coming in.

Robinson Tells
OF D. {. Plan for
Public Works
Explains Program
For Increases in
Water Charges

Brig. Gen. Bernard l.. Robinson,
District Engineer Commissioner,
today outlined the Districts hopes
to launch soon a $500 million
public works Improvement pro-
gram.
In an address of welcome to the
Chesapeake Section of the Ameri-
can WaterWorks Association meet
ing here, Gen. Robinson explained
how the District had fallen be-
hind in public works improve
ments because of a lack of funds.
He pointed out that in 1920 the
Federal Government was paying
approximately SO per cent of the
cost of the District government
That has dropped to approx
mately 9 per cent. he said.
To Increase Rates.
Gen. Robinson said the District
planned to increase its water rates
by 25 per cent and add an addi-
tional SO per cent of the total
water bill as sewer service
charge.
He also said the District would
ask the Federal Government to
pay one-fourth of the contem-
plated $500 million program, with
the District footing three-fourths
of the bill. In order to pay this
three-fourths, he said, the Dis
'trict plans to ask the Treasury for
an interest-free loan of half its
share.
Gen. Robinson said the District
next month will observe the Tooth
of the completion of
its water system.
Lasted Many Years.
When the system was built, he
said, the cost was estimated at
$1.2 million. Because of enlarge
ments and other difficulties, how
ever, the cost ran so per cent
above the estimates.
He said the water system, which
was designed by 1t. M. C. Meig,
was so well designed that it lasted
for many years without need of
improvement.
The sessions will end tomorrow
after representatives visit water
systems in Washington and its
suburbs. ~.
