You Don't Have to Read to Get
A DRIVING Permit -OnIy See

Mr.. King pointed out that
parking signs always have red
lettering if they're prohibiting,
and green or black lettering if
they permit parking. One-way
street signs use arrows, stop
signs have the corners pared off
and the slow signs are shaped
like diamonds.
"In fact" concluded Mr.. King,
"every sign has a distinguishing
characteristic if you just look
for it,"
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. King
took Mr.. Spears to the Munich
pal Center and he was given the
regular written test-only it was
given verbally.
Star Pupil.
His final score?
One hundred per cent correct.
Both the prosecutor and Mr..
Spears walked out of the build
irg leaving traffic department
officials with their mouths open
All Mr.. Spears has to do now
is to take the road test next
week. That will be easy. He
drove 20 years in North Carolina
where it was easy to get a
permit - before he came to
Washington.

Police Seeking
Teen-Age Gang
OF Cab Robbers
Youths Described
As Polite; Four New
Cases Reported

District and Montgomery
County police are searching to-
day for a gang of teen-agers,
apparently from ,well-to-do fam
lilies. responsible for wave of
taxicab robberieS.
Operating in the pre-dawn
hours. the youths, generally two
at time. hire cab and instruct
the driver to go to lonely spots
in the Bethesda section.
There, without a weapon, they
overpower and beat their victim
before taking his money.
Police questioned three youths
this morning, all said to be sons
of prominent citizens. Three of
the hacker victims. called to the
eighth precinct station, could not
identify the boys and they were
released.
Four robbery cases. all COM
mitted in the same manner,
were reported early today.
First victim, hailed at Six
teenth and S streets NV. at
2:45 am, was James L. Patton
of 226 v street NE. He was
directed to go to the 500 block
of lockwood parkway NV.
Drive OFF in Sedan.
He told police his passengers,
about II, took SIS from him.
They later got into 1851 sedan,
. he said and drove off.
Mr.. Patton told police several
others we're in the getaway cal
which was later found aban-
doned in the 1900 block of Haw-
thorne street NV.
A short time later, Kenneth
H. Maurier, 80, of 5741 Colorado
avenue NV, stumbled into
Bethesda police station, badly
NJ u4oCN dAIO COLs
He said two boys had hired
him at Connecticut avenue and
Upton street NV. and directed
him to go to Jones Mill road
between Bethesda and Kensing-
ton.
There, he said. they forced
him from his cab, broke his
glasses and beat him with their
fists. He said he put up a fight
and managed to keep them from
getting his money.
Driver Reports SIS Loss.
A similar story was told by
William E. Evans, of 652 Ninth
street NE. He reported he lost
$25 to the youths at Deepwell
drive near the Congressional
Country Club.
The fourth case was reported
by Walter L. Coyle, 46, of 6517
Westmoreland avenue, Takoma
Park, who told of being hit on
the head and losing $31 in a
robbery on Grubb road in Silver
Spring.
All the hackers said the boys
were apparently well-educated.
They told police the youths were
polite up to the point of the
robberieS.
Last week, a hacker was vici-
ouSly beaten and robbed under
similar circumstances. On that
occasion. the victim told police
he was attacked by five boys who
left the scene in Bethesda in a
sedan with black cloth covering
the license plates.

Church Groups Launch Drives
To Fight Juvenile Delinquency

Of 10 and II. During 1852, some
1870 delinquent children were
brought before juvenile author
tiles of the State.
Meanwhile. the Southern Bap-
fist Convention announced a
church-wide program of ministry
to broken homes and juvenile
delinquents.
This program. believed to be
the first of its kind undertaken
by any denomination on a
church-wide basis, will be di-
rected by DR.. Leland Waters of
Richmond, Va, who will assume
the new post on April Is.
DR.. Waters will work in CO.
operation with domestic relations
courts, the Baptist brotherhoods
of each city and local Baptist
woman's missionary unions.
Under the program, domestic
relations courts will be urged to
recommend Christian counSeling
in cases involving broken homes,
and individual Christian spon-
sors for juvenile delinquents.
! Instead of the delinquent report
ing to a probation officer, the
court will be asked that he be
assigned to report to his Chris
tan sponsor
The program is patterned
after a successful experiment
which has been undertaken by
Baptists in Knoxville Tenn,
during the past three years.
New Orleans Meeting.
The Southern Baptist move
ment was launched at a meeting
OF UNCONVENTIONAL leaders in
New Orleans.
In New Orleans. at the same
time, Protestant and Roman
Catholic clergymen met with
representatives of community or
CARNATIONS to form a permanent
civic body to combat teen-age
gang fights which have become
an increasingly critical problem
in recent months.
The organization will inter-
view teen-agers and heads of
youth groups and investigate
church, school, home, social, eco
nomic and psychological back
grounds of the teen-agers to de-
termine the causes of gang
fights.
Baptists in Richmond, having
announced a plan for closer CO.
operation between the churches
and the Richmond Juvenile and
Domestic Relations Court.
The Baptist Association will
station a representative in the
court. This official will refer a
couple or youth in difficulty to
pastors of their own denomina-
lions. The Baptists also will
offer their club and recreational
facilities to juveniles and their
services to pastors generally in
an effort to strengthen homes.
Oklahoma churchmen recent
ly started a joint Statewide
program with the Oklahoma
Sheriffs and Peace Officers AS
ISOLATION to combat juvenile
crime.
And the Brotherhood of the
Evangelical Lutheran Church,
with headquarters in Minneap-
oils, has begun a rescue" pro-
gram for boys who have been in
some sort Of trouble. The lay
men will work with boys released
from corrective institutions and
help them get stablished in
community life.

The Week in RELIGION
By Religious News Service

Church groups are launching
programs to combat juvenile
delinquency, which is rapidly
becoming one of the Nations
major problems.
Resolutions introduced in the
Senate last week calling for a
probe of juvenile delinquency
in the United States said reli-
gious leaders, educators and law
enforcement officials are alarmed
at the increasing number of seri-
Gus crimes being committed by
teen-agers.
The sponsors, Senators Ke-
fauver, Democrat, of Tennessee
and HendrickSon, Republican, of
New Jersey want a subcommittee
of the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee empowered to determine
the causes of such delinquency
and steps that can be taken for
correction.
They said that a million chill
dren a year now get into diff
ficulty with police and the courts,
and if the present trend con-
tinues, by 1860 courts and police
will have to handle 100000
cases of child offenders each
year.
Texas Council.
On the local level, the problem
was highlighted this week by
the Youth Development Council
of Texas, which administers the
States anti delinquency pro-
gram. It predicted that juvenile
delinquency will continue to rise
during the next few years.
The council reported Texas
has delinquency rate of Is per
1000 children between the ages

said Communist professors
were a real menace, particu-
larly outside the classroom
where they could shape the
minds Of impressionable stu
dents.
Representative Velde also
opened with a word for his
critics. The committee, he
said firmly. would expose Com
munists wherever they were
found. The Communist Party,
he said, is the enemy of
academic freedom.
The committee heard about
professors who had been party
members in the '30s and then
heard some criticism from
Granville Hicks, author and
former Communist, active now
as an anti Communist. He
said Congress should conduct
Its Investigations to show how
little, rather than how much,
the Reds had inf1ltrated the
Nations schools. Congression-
al committees were promoting
irrational apprehension" over
Red agents, be said. Other
witnesses conceded pre-World
War II membership in the
Communist Party.
Both investigations were
due to continue, probably TAX

siasm among the Republicans.
Both urged that Congress re-
frain from digging up the
dead past and look instead to
a better future. The resolution,
Mr.. Dulles told both House
and Senate foreign policy COM
mitteeS, would assure sub
jugated and threatened coun-
tries that the United States
would never again sign a pact
that could be used to enslave
free peoples.
The appeals appeared, at
weeks end. to have brought
the House Republicans into

Senate Republicans still were

A cold-war gambit used re-

Observation-Disclosures OPEN

neSs-With You defense. Presi-
dent Truman, Premier Stain
and Prime Ministers Attlee and

ing players. Last week a new
participant sat in on the game.
President Eisenhower said
in his news conference that he
would go to any suitable spot,
let's say halfway between. and
talk with anybody If it could
help the cause of freedom.
Secretary of State Dulles said
the next day that the Eisen-
hover statement did not, how
ever, mean he was actively
seeking a meeting. The next
move was up to Stain.
OF course, most people as
sumo Gen. Eisenhower's half
way" remark was figurative.
But just in case it was literal
here is how the Air Force has
pinpointed the possible meet
ing place.
It is precisely 1866 miles
from the White House to the
Kremlin by the shortest (great
circle) route. Hallway would
be a point in the North Allan
tic, 68 degrees 80 minutes
north, 10 degrees SO minutes

Growing Pains

IRAN is a typical Middle

style Goth Century. Iran based
its economic growth on the
wealth Of its oil fields. It
patterned its government after
parliamentary systems.
But Trans lack of expert
ence has thrown huge OBJ
stacles into the path of her
progress. She needed foreign
technicians to run the oil in
dustry. That led to something
that looked mighty like i'm
perialism to Iranians. So the
foreigners were kicked out.
Last week Trans political
system also was in trouble.
The young Shah's friends had
tried to get more power for
him than a modern constitu-
tional monarch enjoys. Hot
heads in parliament fought
with fists and chairs-over
Premier Mossadegh's recently
acquired dictatorial powers
(taken because of the oil
crisis) and over the Shah's
prerogatives. The Shah ap-
parently decided to abdicate.
Mobs surged through Teheran
cheering or cursing the Shah
on one hand-or the Premier
on the other. At weeks end.
The Shah decided to stay. and
Mr.. Mossadegh fled to sanctu-
ary in the parliament building.

Senator Jenner explained
that his group wanted to

destroy it. as critics had

AS is the me-honored
custom. the administration led
off with arguments on the
proposals. Douglas Mckay,
Secretary of the Interior,
talked to the House Interior
Committee about statehood
and to the Senate Interior
Committee about tidelands.
His testimony differed from
that heard in prior years
from Truman administration
representatives.
Secretary Mckay indorsed
statehood for Republican
Hawaii only, saying it was now
fit to be a full -fledged mem
ber of the Union. In recent
Democratic days, Democratic
NOUA11S G1dohd WdO always VI
fered for statehood in the
same breath. The new a6-
ministration, however. believes
that Alaska has not had
enough experience at self
government.
, There was a considerable
difference in testimony on
tidelands, too. The Democrats
used to ask for legislation CIV
ing the Federal Government
the administrative machinery
to sell leases on the oil-rich

Kay asked Congress to vest

The Presidents answer to
the question was this: He
did not know exactly what
Mr.. Mccarthy was aiming to
do. He thought it would be
extremely dangerous to try to
limit the power of Congress
to investigate. 1t was a prob
lem that. in the long run,
could be trusted to the will of
the American people.
Senator Mccarthy showed

administration needs a we'll
run congressional committee
to do this job" He could see
no reason why a conflict be-
tween himself and President
Eisenhower should arise.
Secretary of State Dulles
also declined to take part in
a donnybrook. The State
Department could and would
rid itself Of past administra-
