does not go out and talk to the
" rers.
"If they don't go to the home
and they don't talk to the police
and they don't go to the school, "
asked subcommittee counsel
Herbert j. Hammock, where do
they go?"
1T is my impression" replied
Mr.. Flynn, that much of this
information is compiled through
Office interviews with the young
sters and with their parents"
Sees Lack of Cooperation.
Mr.. Flynn noted a serious
lack of cooperation by some of
the persons either under inveSti-
cation or under supervision who
fail to keep appointments or
fail to keep the social workers
advised of school problems or
other conflicts which are effect
ing the progress of the individ-
ual." This, he said. also indi-
Gates a need for much more sup
ervision outside of Office visits.
Mr.. Flynn also reported find
ing that children with repeated
pattern of truancy were never re-
ported to the courts as truants
and the truancy only came out
when they were picked up for
another offense. He said there
was an apparent delay in the
school system in reporting tru-
ants and some Qualification was
needed on what the school sys-
tenn considered truancy.
Lists Suggestions.
He also recommended:
/. Clarification of the respon-
sibility of police and the Juvenile
Court and the Department of
Welfare on a definition of en-
forcement as distinguished from
treatment.
2. A review of waiver pro-
cedures in cases of particular
serious offenses or a series of Of
fenses where pattern of mature
criminal behavior is indicated.
He recommended that the
United States Attorney should
get statement of facts in these
cases so he could consult with
Juvenile Court judge on the ad-
visibility of trying the case in
adult court.
3. Establishing a procedure by
which police would make a rou-
tine arrest check of adult mem
bers of the families of juveniles
to help the social worker decide
whether it was advisable to let
the child stay in the home. Mr..
Flynn said this check is now not
made.
4. Putting the emphasis on
field visits to the home, school
and neighborhood rather than
on a series of Office interviews
IN order to shorten the time be-
tween the commission of an Of
fense and its disposition in the
court.
5. Developing a lease commit
tee approach" by which proba-
ton officers, school teachers, rec
reation workers, church repre-
sentatives and others could work
together on planning a child's
treatment and exchanging in
formation.
Waiver Brought Up.

question of waivers then.

had longe been her opinion that
constructive reporting of the
courts operations could be of
great value to the court and to
the public.
Editors Advice Sought.
"To this end," she said, 81 in
vited the editors of the four daily
papers to meet and discuss with
me this matter in January of
this year. After our initial
meeting, invited them to attend
sessions of court for the purpose
of getting a better understand
ing of the problems involved so
that we could further discuss the
matter. 1 invited suggestions as
to how it could be done within
the spirit and the purposes of
the law. To date, one editor has
visited the court and I have re-
ceived no suggestions"
Before Judge Cockrill ap-
peared the subcommittee was
told that Juvenile Court workers
frequently make their social in
vestigationS of children without
visiting the home, talking to
school teachers or interviewing
police.
This witness, Edward j. Flynn.
executive director of the Wash
ington Criminal Justice Associa-
ton, said that much of the
information used by the court in
deciding the fate of young Of
tenders is compiled from Office
interviews and routine letters of
inquiry.
Youths Visit Office.
He added that probation Off
GERS also supervise youths on
probation by having them come
to the Office.
Mr.. Flynn blamed this system
partially on heavy case loads Of
social workers and the fact that
the only transportation provided
them is by streetcars and buses.
Mr.. Flynn also commented on
the delays in getting cases dis
posed of in Juvenile Court. He
reported. on the basis of a 100
case study made by the Council
on Law Enforcement. that the
average time-lag between the
time of arrest and final DISPOSE
ton in court averages close to
three months.
OF the 100 cases. he reported,
II were disposed of in less than
six weeks. Those II included
six children who were already
wards Of the Welfare Depart
ment, four who already were on
probation to the Juvenile Court,
six who were under study for
previous offenses and one who
was hospitalized during the
period of study.
Time Lag Charged.
OF the remainder, he reported,
there was six to IL week time
lag in So cases, a IL to 18 week
lag in 20 cases and an 18 to "a
week lag in nine cases and one
case took more than "a weeks.
Mr.. Flynn testified that the
policeman who submits the COM
plant or the policeman who
walks the beat where the fam
lily lives is very infrequently''
contacted by the social worker
investigating the juvenile. AS
for the schools, Mr.. Flynn said
in many cases the social worker

By Youth in Assault

A Morals Division detective
today is facing an investigation,
after he admitted it was his
blackjack found in the possess
sion of a youth arrested last

the 200 block of E street NE,
was charged with assaulting
Army Pvt. James L. Stocks, "a,
of Fort Meade, Md, in the 300
block of Pennsylvania avenue

The blackjack was found in
Schneider's hip pocket when he
was searched by Park Police Pvt.
L. c. Schleig.
Statements Differ.
When questioned by Assistant
United States Attorney Alfred
Burka yesterday, Police Pvt.
Charles Klopfer. at one time, ad-
mitted the blackjack was his and
that he may have left it while
watching Schneider'S television
set some time ago, it was said. At
another point, Klopfer declared
he didn't know where he could
have lost it, MI. Burka said.
Earlier in the day, Schneider,
who has a record including
felony conviction, was fined $500
and sentenced to six months in
jail on charges of leaving after
colliding, having no District
driving permit and failing to
yield the right of way to a
vehicle.
Deputy Chief Clarence H.
Lutz, head of the Morals Divi-
sion, announced he would make
a thorough investigation of the
case. He has demanded COM

Pvt. Klopfer.
Pvt. Stocks told police Schnei-
der walked into a bar where he
was drinking and for "appar-
emily no reason at all" hit him in
the face.
Admits Hit and Run.
In the case tried yesterday,
Schneider admitted in court that
he struck a taXicab on August 3
at Seventeenth and D streets
NE. The collision sent George
Reed, So, of 8O5 East Capitol
street and Phillip Watt, 27, of
1882 Minnesota avenue Sc. to
the District General Hospital
with broken limbs.
The defendant pleaded guilty
to leaving the scene. He said
he went to North Beach, Md,
where he spent three days before
giving himself up.
Judge Almond w. Scott ac-
cepted the recommendation by
Assistant Corporation Counsel
James Brennan for the maximum
penalty.
The defendant Schneider left

The bird. later identified as a

tions is showing rapid advance
ment.
DR.. johnson, chairman of the

On Marlboro Pike

A controversial application for
permission to hold dances more
than one night a week at the
old Hilltop Restaurant, 5211
Marlboro pike, has been denied
by the Prince Georges County
commissioners.
Coral Hills and Hillside Civic
Association members described
the place as an after-hours club
when they objected to the issu-
ance of the permit at a recent

filed by Mrs. Mildred Grillo of
1854 University place NV.
Mrs. Grillo and her husband
formerly operated the Lyre Club,
900 block of Twelfth street NV.
No Discussion by Board.
The county commissioners
voted unanimously against the
license. There was no discussion
and the board made no comment
on its ruling.
Debate on the question of who
should tow wrecked cars from
county highways was postponed
until 1920 am, November 10 in
Upper Marlboro.
The commissioners had set a
hearing on the problem yeSter-
day but deferred it at the request
of spokesmen for a newly formed
garage mems association who
said they need more time to work
out a solution.
Last September the commls-
sioners adopted resolution
naming one tow truck operator
in each election district to handle
such calls. Other garage men
protested and the commissioners
temporarily rescinded the order.
