Private Duty Nurses Seek
S5.25-a-DaY Increase

A request for a daily wage in
crease of $5.25 for private duty
nurses in the District this week
was voted by the private nurses
section Of the Graduate Nurses
Association of the District.
Private duty nurses now re-
ceive $12.75 for an eight-hour
day. Should the wage raise be
granted, the nurses would get
about 50 more than similarly oc-
cupied nurses throughout the ma
tion.
The request for the higher pay
must be submitted to the board
of directors of the Graduate
Nurses Association for study.
The wage increase request was
made at a meeting Monday of
the private-duty nurses. It was
first planned to ask for a 1925
per day raise, but, when a mem
ber presented figures relative to
the cost of living index, the
nurses approved the higher
figure.

Northeast Group Asks
Curfew for Children

The Northeast Citizens As
Sociation disregarded the advice
of Police 1t. Francis H. Dunn of
No 9 Precinct last night by
recommending that children be
denied the use of non-Supervised
school Fairgrounds after school
hours.
1t. Dunn, addressing the as
Sociation on juvenile delin-
quency, had said there would
be less crime "if the kids were
given a place to play other than
the streets"
But Mrs. Elizabeth Cross de-
clared there would be less van
dalism if the youths were re-
stricted to supervised areas of
recreation after school. And
she said there would be more
supervised areas if playground
directors were distributed
equally. The association agreed.
The group then advocated a 9
pm. curfew law for juveniles.
1t also recommended that the
District employ spoilers" to
detect Maryland and Virginia
children attending District
schools without paying the tut
tion.
Mrs. Florence L. MCGEE, presi-
dent, conducted the meeting in
the Elizabeth Cross real estate
office, Ninth and F streets NE.

FWe-Mun Council Will Map
Juvenile Crime Probe Monday

letter from Victor j. Tulane,
chairman of the corrections sec
ton of use, asking for such a
conference.
The letter asked that they ex-
plore methods of dealing with
parents negligent in the support
or training of their children to
see how best to get them to
discharge their responsibility.
Canon Richard Williams, chair
man of the advisory committee,
said he will arrange a meeting
after members have discussed
the proposal.
Juvenile Court Judge Edith
Cockrill commented:
IF legislation is to be con-
sidered, the advisory committee
should be in position to indorse
suggested. But before we are in
a position to discuss it, we should
know what they contemplate. :"
Judge Cockrill pointed out
the court already has certain
jurisdiction in matters of the
support or neglect of minor
children.
The committee also decided
to investigate ways of shoytening
the delay in handling truancy
cases. Roscoe Evans, principal
of Shaw Junior High School,
reported delays of a month or
more between the time a truant
is reported and the case arrives
in court.

Discussion Deferred

The Randle Highlands Citi-

from an expert.
The association invited Capt.

venile Squad of the Metropolitan
Police Department, to speak at

Some of the best minds
haven't been able to solve the
problem" said one member.

Some one else said the police
should be given more punitive
power in dealing with juvenile
offenders.
The association approved a
motion by Mrs. Edward B. Nor
riS that it attempt to interest
the younger people in joining the
association in an effort to give
them a sense. of community re-
sponsibilit.

Taxicabs Omitted
From Control by New
n
Transit Authority

Representative Hyde, Repub-
lican, of Maryland, drafting re-
vised legislation to regulate pub
lie transportation in Greater
Washington, has eliminated taxi
cabs from such control.
Strong opposition had been
registered by spokesmen for the
taxicab business tos bringing
their operations under control
of the proposed three-member
regulatory commission provided
in pending bills.
Mr.. Hyde said today he has
about completed new draft of
his bill for such a commission
to present at the next session
of Congress.
Cites Different Problems.
Taxicabs are being left out, he
explained, because the problems
of that business are not exactly
the same as those of the street
railways and bus lines which are
to be regulated.
TaxicabS would be controlled
under several bills now pending
in Congress. At hearings and be-
fore both the Senate and House
Interstate and Foreign Com
merce Committees, taxicab
spokesmen vigorously opposed
the proposal.
Mr.. Hyde said he has state
ments from these interests which
he now considers so important
that he thinks it would be "wiSest
to cut down on the controversial
issues in the bill"
May Act on Cabs Later.
Eventually. however, the law
yer said, 1--WE may find it neces-
sary to set up some regulatory
body on taxicabs in the area,
but not now."
Legislation for control of all
public transportation in the
Washington Metropolitan Area
is pending before the House.
These bills include two by Mr..
Hyde and two Senate-passed
measures.
