Ma, if you send your kids to
the Community Center's Rancho
del Rio Day Camp, they're in
good hands. What's more, if you
should happen to go out Sabine
Canyon way to visit, they'll prob
ably be so busy they won't even
recognize you.
Some IS children, ages to 13,
are picked up at their homes each
weekday morning by one of the
Camps eight cars and taken eight
miles from town to the Rancho,
where they are given activities
in arts and crafts. dancing, dra-
mates, swimming and athletics
and all with Jewish flavor.
Top Supervision
A staff of highly trained teach
ers, University instructors and
VA student counselors under the
leadership of tireless Mrs. Rose
Cole, managing director, and pert
Mrs. Ruth Splitter, program di-
rector, supervise and instruct the
children.
Mrs. Cole is so worried that
the kids won't get the proper food
that she herself prepares the
Kosher lunch and afternoon re-
freshments.
This marks the Day Camps
first summer of full operation. The
idea was tried out on a part
time basis for two years at the
Center. This year the Center
committee under the chairman
ship of Morris Kleinerman went
ahead and rented Rancho del Rio.

MIR. Kaufmann's motion called

Shortly before the motion was
carried, the federation voted
officially against the city-manager
plan. Delegate Ralph w. Dom
nelly opposed the federation's
move at this point. He declared
that since the organization had
opposed the Case home rule bill
at its last session, he believed that
the federation did not really want
to participate actively in govern
ing the District.
His protest was drowned in an
almost unanimous vote placing
the federation on record as
against the budget bureau plan.
Mr.. Kaufman, who was chair
man of a federation committee
studying various methods of Dis
trict reorganization, asserted that
the city manager issue should be

retary Finletter may mean a
softer policy toward the "stay
down" flyers.
When the first of the pilots
refused to accept flight duty base
commanders moved in with a
heavy hand and in at least one
case at Briggs base in Texas a
reserviSt pilot was sentenced to
two years in prison and ordered
dismissed from the service.
Policy Statement Promised.
But Mr.. Finletter made it clear
that such actions were stopped.
He told a reporter:
"You can say this: Men against
whom charges have been preferred
will not come to trial until after
the policy statement is issued.
Il will have a statement cover
ing the whole thing early next
week. I want to talk it over
again with the Air Chief of Staff,
Gen. Vandenberg, who is out of
town this week end.
I'VE will probably issue a state
|ment Monday or Tuesday"
It also was learned that a high
policy meeting on the subject was
held at Air Force headquarters
during the last week in which
number of former and present top
commanders participated.
Distinction Is Made.
The policy makers appeared to
make a distinction between those
pilots who. for various personal
reasons wished to discontinue fly
ing, and those who agitated
among their fellows against TAX
ing to the air.
There were some recommends
tions that the first group merely
be released from service and their
commissions revoked.
But for agitators, courts-mar-
tial were favored.
The older hands who have seen
the air arm mushroom from q
tiny infant to force of nearly /
million officers and men felt that
flying always should be strictly
voluntary for the good of the serv-
ice and its esprit de corps.
During World War II some
pilots who refused fight duty were
transferred to other
branches the infantry. for in

Changes Studied
In Revocation Of
Drivers Permits
Hearing Set Tomorrow
On AboIishing Board,
Fixing New Policy
By jack Jonas

Sweeping changes appear in
prospect for the Districts hand
ling of drivers permits.
A proposal to be aired at pub
lie hearing at 10 am. tomorrow
would abolish the Board of Revo-
cation and Suspension of Drivers
Permits.
The board now is composed Of
three members, but sometimes
only two hear the cases. Mrs.
Mary A. Silver, the chairman, or
her assistant. Charles Helm, sit
in all cases. The other one or two
members sit in rotation, and are
from among IL assigned to the
job by the Commissioners.
The board now has the power
to revoke or suspend drivers per-
mltS for any reason it chooses. It
acts as a hearing board for re-
storing permits which have been
lifted.
1t also handles actions under
the Financial Responsibility Act
under the terms of which suspen-
sion of permit is mandatory
when a financial judgment is
pending against driver. The
board also issues hackers identifi-
cation cards.
In general, the board now has
autocratic powers to deal as it sees
flt with District drivers permit.
Point System Proposed.
The new plan would set up a
point system for checking careless
drivers. Points from one to 10
would be assessed against a
drivers record for law violations,
with the seriousness of the viola
ton determining the number Of
points. Seven points would be
enough for suspension.
Meantime, Mrs. Silver has an
nounced the boards hearings will
be open to the press. Reporters
had been unable to get into the
hearings in the past. The public.
however, still will be barred.
II the Commissioners approve
the new plan, hearing officers
would supplant the board in max
ing decisions which would lift a
drivers permit. Those backing
the plan believe this would allow
for more consideration of individ-
ual cases.
The American Automobile As
sociation is expected to oppose the
use of single hearing officers and
propose instead retention of the
board system. with addition of one
or more extra boards.
[ Present Procedures Criticized.
| The proposal to be heard to-
morrow was drawn by a commit
tee appointed by the Commits
sioners to study the board. Its re-
port criticized these present pro-
cedureS:
l. Putting too much emphasis
on punishment and not enough on
getting a driver to drive safely.
2. Suspending permits without
previous warning.
3. Having the board act as an
appeals body on its own decisions.
4. Delays of several months
from the time of a law violation
Ito the time of SllSnenSjon mr. revo-
cation of a permit. This was laid
to the heavy case load.
i 5. Using criminal records cover
ing offenses having nothing to do
with driving as a basis for sus-
pension or revocation.
6. Failing to tell a driver how
his permit can be restored.
In its communications the
committee also implied criticism
