A clash between Danish and
American mentalities today was
blamed for the plight Of a
Chevy Chase (Md0 youth who
is stranded in Copenhagen, Den
mark, technically stateless.
The Associated Press reported
that Richard Hanson, 20, son of
Mrs. Malcolm P. Hanson, 4614
Langdrum lane, was discharged
from the Danish Air Force after
serving 312 months as volun-
teer. He lost his American citi-
zenship by enlisting.
Capt. HanSbenrik WeScher,
chief of the Danish Defense
Ministry department that han
died Mr.. HanSon's case, told the
Associated Press:
"We took an extraordinary
step when we accepted Hanson's
application and we only did it be-
cause we thought we had a case
of extraordinary will power ano
character.
I'VE thought he could have
suppressed his outspoken Ameri-
can mentality and conform with
Danish mentality. It did not
work.
CIaShed With Brass,
The difference in mentality
and language apparently led to
a clash with an officer that re-
suited in Mr.. Hanson's discharge
from the air. force. The dis
charge was honorable.
Three years ago Mr.. Hanson
asked the Danish military envoy
in Washington to nelp him to
serve in the Danish Air Force.
He wrote in his application:
81 am of Danish descent and
I would like to- keep up an old
family tradition serving in the
Danish armed forces. And 1
would like it, too, because I think
I would be of more use to the
defense of a small country"
Two years later Danish Off
cials accepted his application.
He worked his way across the
Atlantic as a deckhand on a
freighter. Last May he started
his short career in the Danish
Air Force.
Officers Irritated.
Mr.. Hanson told the Asso-
ciated Press that things started
off rather brightly but difficult
ties arose because not many of
the Danish officers spoke English
and his Danish was almost nom
existent. He said he managed
to get along, but the language
did set up a barrier between him
and his comrades and the Off
and his comrades and the officers.
Mr.. Hanson said the officers
were irritated because they did

The Danish Defense Ministry
decided to end the thing as
peacefully as possible by dis

The ex-Soldier said he had no
hard feelings toward the Danish

He said he wanted to study ge-

Youth Council
Staff Members
Begin Work
Mrs. Doyle Pleased
With Combination
Of Experience

The two-member staff of the
new Commissioners Youth
Council went to work today.
Miss Winifred G. Thompson,
superintendent of the Districts
Junior Village on loan from the
Welfare Department, and H.
Aubrey Elliott, loaned by the
special juvenile delinquency
project sponsored by the Chill
dren's Bureau. met with Mrs.
Henry Grattan Doyle, council
chairman, for nearly two hours
this morning.
Happy Combination"
Mrs. Doyle said she had
wanted the entire council to
meet its professional staff but
the group still lacks an Office
where the Is members can get
together. Meanwhile, she said
she thought she ought to intro
duce the two people who will do
a lot of the work.
After the conference, Mrs.
Doyle said she thought the
council was most fortunate in
getting such "happy combina-
ton" Of experience.
Mr.. Elliott, she said, has been
working on juvenile delinquency
throughout the country and
knows what methods have been
tried and which methods worked
in other cities.
Miss Thompson, she said, is
thoroughly familiar with the
Washington picture. has worked
with the city's delinquent and
homeless children and knows the
community agencies and indi-
viduals who can be counted on to
volunteer their services.
Mrs. Doyle said she raised the
question of titles but both pre-
fer to start out on an informal
basis. She gave them both the
Commissioners order which out
lines what is expected of the
council.
On Informal Basis.
Miss Thompson will work from
the beginning on a full-time
basis. Mr.. Elliott will work part
time until he finishes his consul
tant services with the Senate
Juvenile Delinquency subcomit-
tee in mid-November.
The Youth Council will hold
its next meeting Thursday morn
ing. At that time, it will discuss
whether to set up area commit
tees in all parts of the city or
only in selected areas
Most council members already
have indicated informally that
they think all sections of the
city should be covered because
no section is free of delinquency
and because citizen groups
throughout the city have shown
their eagerness to get something
done in their community.
The council also is expected
to discuss how the areas should
be divided geographically. So
far, there have been proposals
to follow police precinct lines to
get the boundaries or to follow
the neighborhood boundaries
drawn by the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
There are IA police precincts and
26 designed neighborhoods.
The work to be done by these
area committees and selection of
their membership probably will
be discussed first by the councils S

while no definite decision was ar

The probability is that bill will
be introduced, authorizing a total
of two case workers for the court -
one is already on the job - provide
for the detention of children before
the court in some place other than
the County Jail, and an increase in
salary for the Judge of the Court.
Before ending the meeting, the
question of requiring the residents
of the county to get building permits
for new construction was brought up
and the only definite decision ar
rived at was that the original pro-
posed bill was too involved
Several suggestions on how this
question should be handled were Of

Mr.. Mitchell told his audience
that: ''The Young Mems Christian
Association is q worldwide fellow
ship of youth and youthfully mind
ed men and women, united by com

started with an idea-the idea that
the principles by which Jesus lived
would remake the world if translated
into living action" and he then add
ed that the North Street "Y' is striv-
ing to live up to those ideals.
The North Street 'Y," the speaker
continued, is located at 100 West
North Street< in the former North

aid of funds from the Board of
County Commissioners and the
Mayor and Council, has been re
modelled into an up-to-date ''Y," with
lounge, reading room, game rooms
and shower room.
Touching on the membership, the
speaker pointed out that whereas
the YMCA,s in the Central Atlantic
area, which includes Maryland,
Delaware, New Jersey and the Dis
trict of Columbia, have member

Mr. Mitchell then pointed out some
of the unusual services that the
North Street ''Y'' provide as a com
munity center, which even include
birthday parties and wedding recep-

The speaker paid high tribute to
the volunteer committees, which
have total of 80 adults, 81 of whom
were recently awarded certificates
for services, and also informed his
listeners that the 'Y' sponsors Boy
