City Architects
To Start Plans Of
Industrial Home
Officials to Seek
Building Funds in
Next Years Budget.

Municipal architects will start
drafting plans soon for a new in
dustrial home school at Laurel.
Md, under an $4,000 fund
granted by Congress to revive the
building program at the District
Children's Center there.
At the same time, welfare Off
cials are planning their estimates
for the 1854 fiscal year, beginning
next July l. They will seek in
their next budget part of the
money needed to build the new
home replacing the shabby, out
worn and ill-suited old National
Training School for Girls.
The old plant at 5201 Lough-
borough road NV. is to be re-
turned to the Government when
the new project is completed.
Officials Delighted.
District welfare officials today
voiced delight and qualification
over the inclusion of the planning
money in the 1853 District Appro-
priation Act.
Welfare Director Gerard M.
Shea said he and the Board of
Public Welfare were most appreci-
ative of the interest and under
standing of the welfare program
displayed by members of the Sen
ate and House Appropriation
Committees and The Star.
The Star last March published
a comprehensive outline of the
sorry conditions of the old Dis
trict welfare institutions and there
was a quick response on Capitol
Hill to the need for setting the
Children's Center program in
motion again.
! Senators Thanked
Mr.. Shea voiced special thanks
for the active interest taken by
Senators Hill, Democrat, of Ala
bama. Hunt. Democrat, of Wyom-
ing. and Cace,. Republican, of
South Dakota, who took a lead
pushing the $4,000 item. He also
praised members of the House for
their ready approval of the fund.
We are very grateful" he
added, for having the attention of
the public and Congress centered
on the requests of the Welfare
Board for the Children's Center
program.
Exact estimates Of the cost of
the new industrial home are yet
to be made, but a rough calcula-
ton indicates it will approach 50
million. This is based on the costs
Of similar group of buildings
for the Industrial Home School
for white children.
Five double cottages, q school
and an administration building to
provide for about zoo girls isplan-
ned tentatively. Mr.. Shea said
part of the construction money
would be included in the next
budget requests of the Welfare
Board. If present plans carry,
this project would be completed
about the middle of 955 and at
that time the old National Train
ing School for Girls here would
be abandoned.

|Dr. Peckham Loses
Fight 10 Win Bail
Before Sentencing

Dr.. Henry l.. Peckham. jr.. late
yesterday lost out in the United
States Court Of Appeals in his
effort to be freed on bail, appar-
emily at least until after he is
sentenced on his abortion con-
viction.
Much seemed to hinge on
whether the 44-year-old physician
had sought freedom on bail pend
ing sentence in District Court or
whether he sought bail. pending
appeal from his District Court
conviction.
Attorney David F. Smith, now
representing DR.. Peckham, in
formed the appellate court yester-
day that no application for bail
for his client pending sentence
had been filed in District Court.
Instead, it was pointed out by
Attorney Smith, the application
for bail was for DR.. Peckham's
freedom pending appeal from the
physicians District Court convic-
ton
Rule Discharged.
Reciting these facts, the ap-
peals court stated that no ap-
peal from a Judgment of convic-
ton can be taken until after
sentence Is imposed.
In its order. the appellate court
denied the bail and discharged
a rule to show cause. The rule
had ordered Judge Holtzoff to
show why he should not either
sentence DR.. Peckham or permit
the physician bail.
Judge Holtzoff did not appear
in person but was represented be-
fore the Court of Appeals by
United States Attorney Charles
M. Irelan. The answer to the
rule to show cause declared the
DR.. Peckham case "was taken up
in it's regular turn and was neither
delayed nor preferred over other
similar cases." ...
DR.. Peckham was convicted by
IA jury on June Is of performing
an abortion. One June Is, Judge
Holtzoff, who presided at the trial,
denied a motion for a new trial.
At the same time, he turned down
"a request to sentence DR.. Peck
ham Immediately. pending receipt
of a pre-sentence report from
the courts probation officer. Judge
Holtzoff also at that time denied
bail.
Report Since Received.
The pre-sentence report has now
been received, Mr.. 1relan told the
Court of Appeals. During the pro-
Iceeding, Mr.. Irelan furnished the
appellate court a list Of cases of
Ia number of other defendants who
in the past. waited approximately
as long, as or longer than, DR..
Peckham between the date of con-
viction and the time of sentence.
The Court of Appeals said it
understood that now that the pre-
sentence report has been received
that DR.. Peckham will now be
sentenced without delay -"
The question of bail was heard
In the appellate court by Judge
James M. Proctor, E. Barrett
Prettyman- and David Bazelon.
Judge Holtzoff could not be
reached Immediately for comment.
Last week, Judge Holtzoff said he
lplanned to sentence DR.. Peckharp
during the week of July IA.
