Star Carrier Boy Follows
Family Tradition Dating to IL

A lanky, curly-haired 15-year-
old turned up on Legation street
NV. today to pick up his bundle
of papers and deliver them to
about 100 homes in his neigh
borhood.
Arthur w. Kicker met the big,
yellow Star truck, just as some
$500 of his fellow carrier boys
did in other Washington area
neighborhoodS. Although it's
National Newspaperboy Day, it's
also just another working day
for most of the carriers.
But for Arthur, the day may
have a little more significance.
Carrying The Star is getting to
be something of a family tradi-
ton around his home.
Arthur's father, Arthur l..
Kicker, of 3710 Jocelyn street
NV, practically laid the foun-
dation of his business with a
Star route that paid him roughly
one-seventeenth what his son
makes now.
Mr.. Kicker started serving The
Star back in 1917, in the same
neighborhood where young Ar
thur now delivers it.
In those World War I days,
the pay was 81 a month. Mr..
Kicker recalls that each month

Staff, and Quarters B, occupied
by Rear Admiral Tom B. Hill,
commandant of the Potomac
River Naval Command.
Shipbuilding began at the in
stallation in 1905, when the
sloop-of-war Wasp was launched.
Earlier such ships as the Consti-
tuition, the Constellation and
the Hornet were repaired there.
The yard was burned in 1914
to prevent its capture by the
British. Later rebuilt and ex-
panded to twice it's previous size,
it became a major supplier of
armor plate during the Civil
War. After the assassination of
President Lincoln it served as a
prison for several of the con-
spiratorS.
The yard built the only 18-
inch guns ever manufactured by
the Navy during World War /.
It also built 16-inch naval rifles
for railway batteries used against
the Germans in that war.
During World War II the yard
was a major supplier of ord
nance to the fleet.

Dalton Carries Fight
To Alexandra Today
In 6. 0. P. Campaign

Ted Dalton, Republican can
didate for Governor of Virginia,
carries his campaign into Alex
andria today.
Beginning at 1890 pm, Dali
ton has scheduled a series of
stump speeches at busy shop
ping centers throughout the
city. He will speak from the
rear of an open truck.
A reception and dinner will be
held at 6 pm. at the Magnolia
Room of the Hunting Towers
Apartments at which Dalton
will give campaign address.
His Democratic opponent,
Thomas B. Stanley, meanwhile
will speak at a State convention
Of Young Democratic Clubs
meeting at Old Point Comfort.
The speeches wind up busy
week of campaigning for both of
them.
Mr.. Dalton appeared yesterday
before the State CIO Convention
in Roanoke and advocated in
creases in workman's compen-
sation benefits. He said the
maximum payments should be
raised from $25 a week to $50
and the minimum benefits from
Sc weekly to SIS. He also advo-
Gated that death benefit pay
ments be increased from $500
to $4,000.
The words brought applause
from the CIO delegates.
In making the suggestion, Mr..
Dalton was taking the rough
edges off a G.. O. P. platform
plank which had first said that
the maximum benefit should be
lifted from $40 to $25. The in
crease already had been made
by the General Assembly in 1852.

Juvenile Study
Needs Doctors,
Seckinger Says
Psychiutric Advice
Urged on Committee
Probing Delinquency

The co-ordinated committee
to- study juvenile delinquency
here should include doctors,
especially ones versed in psychol-
ogy. DR.. Daniel Seckinger, Dis
trict public health director, said
today.
Because many delinquents
need mental treatment, DR.. Seek
niger said, physicians advice
should be sought by the COM
mittee appointed by the Com
miSSionerS.
Three Approaches.
The Health Department is con-
cerned about juvenile delin-
quency from three approaches,
DR.. Seckinger said, listing men,
tai, environmental and physical
health.
1--WE are now reaping the
whirlwind of the war years." he
said. 'The delinquent boys and
girls of today are yesterdays
children who didn't receive in
their homes the love, care and
attention they needed. In many
instances mothers were working,
fathers were in the service or
busy otherwise and many broken
homes led to the rearing of these
children by relatives or friends,
or sending them to foster homes
or institutions"
Opposes Punitive Steps.
Punitive measures against the
children will not solve the prob
lem, DR.. Seckinger said, adding:
"I don't know how any major
conclusion involving action to
be taken in juvenile delinquency
can be resolved without the help
of the medical profession, in
Guiding psychiatry. I think both
public and private medicine, and
psychiatrists from public and
private practice should be in

Driver, 19, Sentenced
To 6-Month Term
In Crash Fatality

Melvin K. Cross, 19, of Upper
Marlboro, Md. was sentenced to
prison yesterday as the driver
of a speeding car that brought
violent death to a 20-year-old
companion on a wild, beer
drinking ride.
Racing north on Addison road
in the early morning darkness
of September Is, the careening
car plunged off a curve at
Walker Mill road and hit q
tree.
The body of George c. Moore,
jr., crashed through the wind
shield and hurtled so feet into
a mudhole. Two other youths
in the car, Robert v. Farrell,
81, Of Croome and David c..
Ridgeley, 18, of Upper Marl-
boro, escaped serious injury.
Had Been Drinking.
Cross told Judge Nita S. Hin
man Crane in Upper Marlboro
Police Court yesterday he had
been drinking beer and that he
may have fallen asleep at the
wheel.
Beer has that effect" the
court remarked.
Cross was convicted of man
slaughter and another charge of
speeding.
Turning aside pleas for len
iency on the ground that the
young defendant is married and
a father, the court ordered him
to serve six months in the House
of Correction for manslaughter.
He also was fined $3.50 on that
charge and an additional $100
fine for speeding.
Appeal Planned.
"This is the sort of teen-age
folly we are spending thousands
of dollars to prevent" the court
declared. "It appears that only
Jail terms will convince some
youngsters that the law will be
enforced"
George T. Burroughs, counsel
for Cross, said he would appeal.

-Four Sentenced
In Baltimore Job
Benefits Fraud
BY the Assoeioied Press

BALTIMORE, Oct. "a Judge
imposed 90-day Jail terms yes
terday on each of four Balti-
more men accused of drawing
unemployment benefits from the
State when they weren't entitled
to them.
Circuit Judge Joseph L. Carter
had announced previously he
would resort to Jail sentences,
rather than fines and restriction,
in an attempt to break up un-
employment frauds.
The four defendants. all COL
ored, had collected benefits on
the basis they were out of work,
but evidence showed each had
lined up at least some part-time
work.
They were:
Jacob McCants, fined $500 in
addition to the jail sentence for
obtaining $575 in benefits while
earning approximately the same
on part-time jobs.
Ben Waddell, So, fined $500,
for obtaining $500 in benefits
although he had obtained a new
job shortly after applying for
relief.
Joseph A. Stepney, 40, fined
500 for getting $400 in benefits.
Herman johnson, 81, fined
SPIT for getting a like amount.
In imposing the sentences,
Judge Carter said:
Benefits set by law are for
those who deserve them. they are
not designed to give something
for nothing. This is equivalent
to stealing from the State of
Maryland. That is what 1t
really amounts to.
