Silver-tongued Gov. McKeldin
of Maryland holds that criticism
of his out-of-State speaking
tours is unjust because he, like
any other working man" is en-
titled to one day off each week.
1T is my practice to use only

propriety of that" the Governor
said yesterday at the Upper

Reacting to what he called un-

Legion Post Joins
In Protesting Tempo
Al War Monument

The Augustus P. Gardner Post,
No. 18, American Legion has
joined the Society of the First
Division in demanding removal
of a temporary building which
has marred the beauty of the
society's monument.
Now used by the State Depart
ment, the building at State place
and Seventeenth street NV, has
been censured by the society for
another reason. 1t interferes with
plans to add names of World
War II dead by expanding the
monument.
This resolution was adopted
today by the Legion post:
Whereas, to house troops
brought to Washington to guard
the late President Roosevelt,
during World War II, the United
States War Department erected
a barracks of himsy material at
State place and Seventeenth
street, almost in the shadow of
the White House, a building that
was never an ornament and has
now become an eyesore; and
Whereas, this building, by its
situation, forms a graceless desc
Grafton of the monument erected
by the Society Of the First Di-
vision to it's war dead in World
War I, and prevents the enlarge
ment of the memorial to add to
it the names of the war dead in
the First Division in World War
II; therefore,
BE it resolved, That the men,
bers of Augustus P. Gardner
Post, No. 18, American Legion, of
the District of Columbia, hereby
add their demands that this dis
graceful defilement of a monu-
ment erected to our heroic dead,
cease without delay, and that
the ramshackle building be re-
moved; and,
BE it further resolved, That
copies of this resolution be sent
to the President of the United
States; and to the Department
Commander, of the District of
Columbia Department American

Some District high school

ments for the High School Cadet
Corps, according to a Board of
Education member.
Walter N. Tobriner, school

to skip the cadets without prop
er excuses. Board President C..
Melvin Sharpe ordered an in
vestigation.
Boys must join unless they
have a medical excuse or q writ
ten request from parents, under
the law.
Supt. Hobart M. Corning ex-
pressed doubt that Mr.. Tob-
riner's charge was true. Assist
ant Supt. Norman j. Nelson de-
clared:
IF that's being done, it's
wholly contrary to direct in

Mr.. Tobriner said he under
stood some principals are in
terpreting the law to mean that
one years cadet membership is
all that's required, and are al
lowing boys to drop out after
that year.
Mr.. Nelson said this is an in
correct Interpretation.
Asked by DR.. Corning whether
he believes the situation is
widespread, Mr.. Tobriner said
he does.
School officials frightened up

One of WaShington'S closest
races between school builders
and home builders is nearing a
photo finish in the Southeast.
For the last 10 months, on one
side of a dirt strip known as
Wahler place, masons and car
penters have been working away
on a story edif1ce of cement
blocks and brick, intended for
some 700 grade school children.
On the other side of the strip
more masons and carpenters
have been raising houses in
which many of the same children
will live.
Early next month the new
school-Draper Elementary is
slated to open its doors. The
houses across Wahler place are
slated to open theirs about then,
too. And school officials hope
for a little while at least the
classrooms and living rooms will
just about balance.
Draper stands on a hill over
looking Wheeler road on one
side and another dirt strip
which soon will be Ninth street,
on the other. The houses, which
are pressing up almost to the
schools front door, are some 24O
new units in the National Capt.
tai Housing Authority's Highland
Dwellings development.
Other Parents Watching.
More than the prospective oc-
cupants of the new housing have
been keeping an anxious eye on
the building race, however. For
families already living in the
vicinity send their youngsters to
Simon Elementary School, about
a mile away, and 800 pupils at
overcrowded Simon are now in
part time classes.
The opening of Draper is
Evening star., 1953-10-16
Housing Project in Southeast
Rucinq School to Photo-Finish

slated to end the part time at
Simon by the transfer of about
900 pupils to the new school.
Draper, at the outset, won't
be as big as Simon, which is one
of the city's two largest grade
school buildings. But an extra
floor at Draper already is being
planned, which will put the new
school in the same category.
If school officials had antici-
pated the rapid housing rise in
the vicinity, they would have put
the extra floor on to begin with.
But even as it is, the new school
is big.
The $672,411 building has Is
regular classrooms. There are
also two kindergartens, a library,
and a so-called multi-purpose
room, equipped with stove, sink
and cupboards and blackboards
that reverse to become bulletin
boards.
There is a big f1at-floored aud
itorium and beneath it a lunch
and recreation room (although
no kitchen-grade schools don't
have cafeterias). Teachers will
have an attractive lounge with a
kitchen, where they can prepare
their lunches. And ceilings
throughout the building are
made of a sound-deadening ma
terlal.
Miss Grace Bush, the princi-
pal, has been keeping a close eye
on the builders. She has made
almost daily visits for the last
few weeks.
On a tour the other day, she
said, I'm thrilled with the build
ing" Even so, she's worrying
about where the expected influx
of pupils will find seats.
Assignments Decided.
On Wednesday, pupils at ST.
mon were sent home with no.
tices telling how school officials
plan to assign pupils to the new
building. Children living as
close to Draper as the 600 block
two blocks away-of east-west
streets will have to continue
going to Simon because Draper
is opening so full. Miss Bush is
expecting complaints on this
score, but it can't be helped.
At the moment there is also
a problem of a teacher shortage.
Between them, Simon and
Draper need about four more.
officials now are trying to find
| them.
Until yesterday it also looked
as if the streets leading to the
new school would still be poten-
tial mudholes on opening day.
But the Highway Department
yesterday decided to make a
special rush project out of the
street surfacing, so that is one
problem Miss Bush apparently
won't have to worry about.

Court HoIdsUp
Plan
For De|inquents
Judge CockriII
Refuses to Release
Names of Juveniles

Welfare Director Gerard M
Shea's plan to establish CEN
trail registry of juvenile delin-
quents here met a major obstacle
yesterday in Juvenile Court
Judge Edith H. Cockrill's refusal
to release the names.
Mr.. Shea has felt the registry
is needed as a guide for provid-
ing treatment services and for
developing preventive programs
After a conference with the
judge yesterday, however Mr..
Shea reported she did not believe
the Juvenile Court Act permitted
her to release the names.
To Offer Statistics
He said that Judge Cockrill
did say she would furnish court
statistical records.
The welfare director said that
these would be accepted, but that
without the names the objective
of the registry would not be
realized. He said he considered
the names necessary to deter
mine whether lone Johnny Jones
has committed four acts of de-
linquency, or four Johnny
Joneses have committed one de-
linquent act each"
He explained: eve wouldn't
be able to follow through on
children. We wanted to deter
mine once and for all if we have
more delinquents or just the
same delinquents committing
more offenses. We wanted to
know how many agencies were
concerned with them and what
was being done for them in order
to coordinate preventive and
treatment services"
Summary on Talks.
Mr.. Shea said a summary is
being prepared of all the con-
ferences that have been held
with various agencies on the CEN
trail registry plan.
He said that an opinion may
be asked from the corporation
counsel on the legality of using
the names of the juvenile Of
tenders, properly safeguarded.
Capt. John R. Ryan, head of
the juvenile squad, has ex-
pressed doubt on the subject of
releasing the names of juvenile
offenders, he noted.
Mr.. Shea said another thing
that might be done is to gather
in one place all the statistics
regarding juvenile delinquency.
These would be compiled and as
sembled in uniform fashion.
Quarterly analyses of the sta
tistics might be made and dis
tributed to the agencies con-
cerned. These could be published
as a joint undertaking, Mr.. Shea
suggested.

Ex-Airman Gets
II 10 36 Year
Term in Staying
Judge Kirkland Call:
Veteran Product of
A Broken Home

A 21-year-old fC rmer airman
at Boiling Air Force Base today
was sentenced by Federal Judge
James R. Kirkland to serve from
II to SO years for second degree
murder in the fatal shooting of
a taXicab driver at the base in
May, 1850.
The defendant is Gilbert w.
Reynolds, who was 18 at the
time of the crime. Reynolds
had been adjudged of unsound
mind in December, 1850, but was
reported recovered last May.
The indictment named him on
two counts of first degree mur-
der. On September %. he was
allowed to plead in the u. S.
District Court for the District of
Columbia to the lesser charge of
second degree murder.
From Broken Home"
The victim was Gordon C.
Brown, jr., "a, of Seat Pleasant,
Md, father of two. The second
count in the indictment accused
Reynolds of numbering Mr..
Brown while attempting to rob
the victim was dropped.
In imposing sentence, Judge
Kirkland said: This particular
case is one that places a hard
ship on the court" He then as
serted that Reynolds is the prod
upct of a broken home" and
neglect.
Pointing to the seriousness of
the crime, the jurist said there
was considerable premeditation"
in the case. I'm view of your
youth and prior good record, :"
Judge Kirkland said, "the court
accepted a plea to ond-degree
murder"
Points to Parole Age.
Judge Kirkland said the de-
fendant would be eligible for
parole by middle age and that
he hoped Reynolds would re-
habilitate himself.
Judge Kirkland also said he
was taking into consideration
the fact that Reynolds already
had been in custody for three
years.
Assistant United States Attor-,
ney Arthur J. Mclaughlin said
the prosecution was willing to
let Reynolds plead to the lesser
charge because of the defend
ants medical history and age.
Judge Kirkland today recon-
mended further hospital treat
mant FOR Reynolds.
