the opportunity of working with
other District agencies on this
very important problem"
Members of the new Welfare
Advisory Committee already have
expressed their view that a CO.
ordinating group should be
named to give direction to the
widely scattered efforts to cope
with the juvenile problem.
Today. the executive commit
tee of the new Council on Law
Enforcement is expected to rec
ommend that the full council
take on part of the job of coping
with rising juvenile crime.
The Executive Committee has
given advance indications that
it believes the law enforcement
council should go into the ques-
ton of the 16 and II year old
habitual offenders and leave to
a commissioners co-ordinating
group the chore of shaping a
concerted attack on juvenile
delinquency among the younger
children as well as overall
prevention.
More Cooperation Needed.
There's got to be a concerted
attack on this problem" said
Mr.. Leahy. We've been ap-
preaching it from too many

agency going down its own road.

Both Mr.. Sharpe and Mr..

there was room for a lot more
cooperation between the agen-
cies, which could be obtained
through coordination from the
top.
"All of us could improve,
said Mr.. Gichner. I'VE ought to
work more closely with the
other agencies involved. None
of us is doing a 100 per cent

While he said he was definitely
in favor of working committee

Two D. T.. Girls Hurt
Leaping From Auto
To Escape Two Men
One Seriously Injured;
Other Tells Story Of
Wild Maryland Ride

Two 15-year-old District girls
were injured, one of them criti-
cally, when both jumped from
a moving automobile last night
near Landover, Md. They said
they leaped to get away from
two men who had refused to
take them home.
The girls are Gertrude Espey,
of Gil Eighth street S.W.,
and Margaret Pinkard, of 492
H street S.W. Miss Espey is in
critical condition with a skull
fracture and multiple cuts and
bruises.
Both girls we're admitted to
Prince Georges General Hospital
shortly before midnight and
Miss Espey was still unconscious
at noon today.
Miss Pinkard suffered null
tiple cuts and bruises to the face
and body.
Accepted Ride in Auto.
Detective Sergt. James P.
Kearns said details were still
somewhat vague. He plans to
question the girl further today
after she has rested a bit.
Sergt. Kearns~ said that Miss
Pinkard told him both girls had
gone to the HyattSville area by
bus earlier in the evening to visit
a relative of one of them. They
were unable to find her, however,
and, being without money, de-
cided to hitch-hike back to
Washington.
The girl said two men, riding
in black, four-door sedan,
picked them up but wanted to
stop by Greenbelt before taking
them into Washington. She de-
Scribed one of the men as being
about 80 years old and the other
about 18. The two girls got into
the rear seat, she reported.
The detective quoted Miss
Pinkard as saying they drove
around for several hours and
that the boys got lost" Finally,
she said, they decided to Jump
from the car, one out each side.
Girls Found Lying In Road.
A passing motorist and a
driver of a w. M. & A. bus found
the Espey girl lying on the side
of LandoVer road and the Pink
ard girl in the center. The
Bladensburg Rescue Squad took
the girls to the hospital.
Police still are seeking the
two men, the detective said.
Miss Espey is the daughter of
Mrs. Merville E. Casey of the
Eighth street address, and is a
grade 9-B student at Jefferson
Junior High School. Miss Pink
ard, a freshman at Mckinley
High School, is the daughter of
Mrs. Albert Coleman of the H
street address.
Families of the two girls said
they were close friends and had
attended Amidon and Greenleaf
Elementary Schools together.
Both, they said, also attended
Sunday school classes regularly,
Gertrude at Epiphany Episco-
pal Church. and Margaret at
the Fifth Baptist Church.

Roads Agency
Offers Ri. 240
Belt Highway Work
Would Coincide With
Extension Job
By George Beveridee

The Maryland State Roads
Commission disclosed today that
it is willing to build a section of
the proposed intercounty belt
highway between Wisconsin and
Georgia avenues in nearby Mary
land within the next four years.
At the same time, however, the
Roads Commission insisted that
it intends also to complete the
controversial ! southeast leg of
U. S. Route 2D to the East-West
highway within the same four
year period.
Roads Commissioner Russell
H. Mccain set forth these two
policy views in a letter today to
the National Capital Planning
Commission. They were offered
as possible compromise solu-
ton to the running battle be-
tween the two groups on con-
struction of the Route 240 leg
Belt Road Priority Advanced.
The main hope for COM
promise was in Mr.. McCain's
willingness to advance priority
of the inter-county belt road.
Original plans called for it's
construction to start several
years from now. However, the
Planning Commission has urged
that at least part of the belt
roal be constructed Immediately.
In opposing the Route 24O
plan. part of the Planning Com
missions complaint was that the
southeast leg would dump an
intolerable amount of traffic on
the already overcrowded East
West highway. Therefore, it
had recommended that the
southeast leg be brought only
far enough southwark to tie in
with the proposed inter-county
belt in narrow section of Rock
Creek Park between Forest Glen
and Wisconsin avenue where the
two routes intersect.
Thus, in proposing to con-
struct the two roads simultane-
ously, Mr.. Mccain has met one
of the Planning Commissions
detectives. The big question is
whether this will satisfy the
Planning Commission to the
point that it also will go along
with the 240 leg extension to
ast-West highway.
NOlen Refuses Comment.
John Nolen, jr., director Of
the Planning Commission, was
asked that question today at the
Commissioners and Governors
Conference on Metropolitan Area
Traffic Problems, held at the
United States Chamber of Com
merce Building. He said he had
not had time to study the new
proposal in detail, and would not
comment on it.
Another planning official at
tending the conference, William
Burrage, planning chief of the
Observation-Disclosures Capital Park
and Planning Commission, how
ever, highly praised the proposal
to begin the inter-county belt.
He called that such a route, en-
circling the north part of Wash
ington, the most important

In Army Liquor Row,
Defense Aide Says

On Military Post Sales,
Hits Whisky Dealers

DR.. John A. Hannah, Assistant
Secretary of Defense for Man
power, asserted today that retail
liquor dealers had been using"
church groups and organizations
like the Women's Christian Tenn
perance Union to oppose new
Army and Air Force regulations
authorizing liquor sales on posts.
The new regulations, some

which have been in effect for
years, permit sale of liquor by
drink and bottle on bases in the
United States, possessions and
territories. The new rule re-
verses an Army prohibition order
in effect for more than half a
century.
DR.. Hannah, who also is presi-
dent of Michigan State Univer-
sity, said he had become con-
vinced that the best interests of
the services would be served by
the new regulations and that
he had authorized their issuance.
Sold Under Subterfuge.
Defense Department attorneys,
he said, had come to the con-
clusion that existing laws au-
thorized the establishment to
go ahead with the regulations.
after all, the Army and Air
Force have sold liquor under
subterfuge for years" he said.
Nov the retail liquor dealers
are very active in their opposi-
ton and they have enlisted a
good many organizations, in
cluding the WCTU and church
groups-good people," he said.
"They have gotten them excited
and they are using these people.
although they have different
motives entirely" he declared.
DR.. Hannah said that before
issuance. the orders had been
reviewed by the House and Sen
ate Armed Services Committees
land they didn't disapprove."
Age Limit on Sales.
"The rules are, as sensibly ar
rived at as possible" he said.
He pointed out there would be
no sales to servicemen under 81
years of age and said the rules
were issued with the idea of be-
ing conducive to good conduct,
high morale and sobriety."
He pointed out that servicemen
could go off the installations and
obtain all the liquor they desired
and that the Army and Air Force
orders were issued with the idea
of having it served in whole
some surroundings"
Accepts Responsibility.
DR.. Hannah pointed out that
his university did not allow any
drinking and that Lansing, the
town in which it is situated, is
dry town. He added that he
had approved the orders and
that he was perfectly willing
to take the grief for it.
Last Sunday the Seventh-Day
Adventists protested to Secre-
tary of Defense Wilson against
the orders and the National
Retail Liquor Package Stores
Association publicly blasted the
services entry into the liquor
business"
Previously, other dry forces
had come out in opposition to
the orders. These protests in
cluded those from Clayton

of the National Temperance
