PLAIN TALK
BY ALFRED SEGAL
CHAzAN'S FISH STORY

This is a hot. sleepy. sticky
summer daY-a day. indeed. on
which I would rather go fishing
in this column-with my very
good friend the chazan than to
bother my poor mind with the
matters of Jewish life which can
get to be awfullY tiresome.
I had thought at first of writing
a column in which to tell off
Rabbi Elmer Berger (he's director
of the Anti-Zionist American
Council for Judaism.) I have just
discovered him washing some of
the linen of American Jewish life
in signed article in the daily
press, and that's no place to do
such an intimate wash.
Yes. on a day like this I would
rather go with the chazan on the
fishing expedition in which he
Witnessed a miracle on the waters.
you might say. Let's all go TO-
gether with him. And nobody who
knows him will be surprised to
see such a miracle coming to a
chazan who with so rich a tenor
sings to God.
You may know this chazan from
the time, several years ago, when
I wrote about him in this column.
He was the one who was so COM
passionate with one of the first
fish he ever caught. When he
came home with it, he discovered
it was still alive in his bucket and
it wasn't in his heart to make an
end Of it's life with his own hands.
So what did he do?
He let it swim in his bathtub
till the next day. Then he carried
il back TO the river TO let it there
continue as happy. carefree fish.
wrote about him then to present
him as an example Of divine pietY
becoming in a Jew. especially in
one who was a chazan.
Since then he has become one
of our most expert and dedicated
fishermen. He is well rewarded
with many fish, and from fishing
he derives the relaxation in which
to contemplate all the wonders of
the King of the Universe which he
sings about in the synagogue.
When from the altar he praises
the universe, he knows its grand
eur as something he has actually
lived with on the rivers and the
lakes.
In the course of his education
as fisherman he has acquired a
superior collection of rods. reels
and the other equipment of well
educated fisherman: and he has
learned the ways of fish.
Well, in the recent June he de-
cided on the magnum opus of his
fishing career. He had been fish
ing in the lakes and streams
around our town. Now it seemed
time to take up deep-sea fishing
in the area where the tarpon, the
barracuda and the shark abide. He
journeyed to Miami in Florida
and in the waters there occurred
the miracle for him.
II was a day when he didn't go
fishing in the deeper sea. Instead.
he was content that day TO fish

Planners Letter on Roads

FOLLOWING is the National
Capital Planning CommiSSion'S
letter to Maryland Roads
Commissioner Russell H. Nc
Cain on the use of Maryland
parks for the proposed inter-
county belt tree1Day and the
southeast leg OF Route 240:
Dear Mr.. Mccain:
In response to your letter of
October % with respect to the
use of a portion of Rock Creek
Park in Montgomery County for
the proposed inter-county belt
route and a portion of U. S.
route 240, wish to advise that
the commission has given ex-
tended and most careful con-
Sideration to the issues involved.
We are advised that lands ac-
quired under Section l (b) of
the Capper- -Cramton Act must
be used exclusively for park pur-
poses and that this commission
is not at liberty to approve
plans other than for such pur-
poses. y
Some time ago this commits
sion took action indicating it's
approval of a portion of Rock
Greek Park in Montgomery
County for use as segment of
the inter-county belt route. The
project was also shown upon the
Comprehensive City Plan pre-
viously published by this COM
mission. Upon reconsideration
of this matter at this time. the
commission is impressed with
the fact that the Maryland

State Roads Commission is &C
quiring right of way for the en-
tire Maryland portion of the
inter-county belt route and pro-
poses to build it at substantially
a parkway standard.
For that reason, the commits
sion believes that the belt route
can meet legal requirements and,
accordingly, the commission
stands by its previous action.
This expression of the commits
sion is based upon the under
standing that the revised plan
proposed in your letter of Oc-
tober % will be used along Rock
Greek Unit 3 and that detailed
plans. which will include designs
for grading and landscaping in
accordance with the best future
development of that unit as a
park, will be submitted for ap-
proval by this commission.
In order to prevent any mis-
understanding as to this COM

corning Rock Greek Unit No. 8
for the south leg of U. S. 240,
I take this opportunity to re-
state that this commission ap-
proved connecting the proposed
southeast leg of U. S. 24O to the
belt route in the vicinity of Wis
consin avenue or at some point
further to the west.
With warmest personal re-
CARDS,

Officials Find JaiIs
Lack Space 10 Screen
Youthful Offenders

Federal and District officials
yesterday surveyed local Jail fa-
cilities to determine whether the
city has enough room to screen
youthful law violators under the
Youth Corrections Act of April,
1852.
The consensus was peSSimistic.
But, as Donald Clemmer, District
director of corrections, said. IF
we are ordered to provide room,
we will do So"
The jail tour was conducted by
Mr.. Clemmer. James v. Ben
nett, director of the Federal
Prison Bureau; District Commits
sioner Renah F. Camalier and
Jail Supt. Curtis Reid.
Overcrowding Increases.
District Jail quarters, as we'll
as those of Lorton Reformatory,
have been increasingly over
crowded in recent years. Mr.
Clemmer said that, if space for
classifying youths 18 to % years
under the Corrections Act must
be made available in the Jail, an
undesirable situation" will re-
suit at the reformatory, where
the Jail occupants will wind up.
The tourists focused particular
attention on the third-floor
women's dormitories of the Jail.
At present, 81 inmates are
housed in two narrow rooms and
a separating corridor.
If these were to be converted
into living quarters for youthful
offenders, a tailoring room at
the end of the third-f1oor hall
would have to be turned into
a mess hall.
The purpose of the Youth
Corrections Act, according to
Mr.. Bennett, is to provide in
dividualistic treatment for young
violators of the law. Segregation
from adult criminals, thus, is
a primary goal.
Recreation Space Studied.
Also studied by the officials
was the fourth-hoor recreation
"deck" of the southwest cell
block. The main trouble with
this section, as possible housing
for young law violatorS, is that
the indoor recreation space for
adult felons would be halved.
Commissioner Camalier took
the prison officials away from
the Jail and onto adjacent Dis
trict Municipal Hospital prop
erty to point out a one-story
physicians home as possible
quarters for youthful offenders,
Neither Mr.. Bennett nor Mr..
Clemmer cared for that idea,
since security would be at a
minimum at this building.
Nearly 500 youths in the 18-
22-year-old category are COM
mitted for criminal offenses
every year in the District. Mr..
Clemmer said that if the Cor
rections Department request of
100000 for fiscal 1855 to build
additions to the District Jail is
granted, enough room for han
ding the present inmate over
flow, as we'll as a youth cor
rection screening center, will be
available.
The three member Youth Cor
rections Board. appointed re-
Gently, cannot begin to take
local cases until screening facil-
tiles have been provided.
None of the officials who par
ticipated in yesterdays tour
would say what, if any, con-
clusions were reached as to the

cal control" Mr.. Dalton said.

most powerful political machine

Mr. Stanley also was sched-
uled to address a Staunton area
rally at Woodrow Wilson High
School this afternoon. Senator
Robertson. Democrat, of Vir-
ginia. and 1t. Gov. A. E. S.
Stevens, seeking reelection, also

Choice of Administrations.
Gov Battle, in radio speech
last night bcamed at Southwest
Virginia. touched on the same
subjects as he included in his
Tuesday night speech-that the
election Tuesday is not the Sc
lection of one candidate over an
other, but the choice of a Demo-
cratic or Republican adminis-
tration
Gov. Battles speech originated
over Roanoke Radio Station
WDBJ, in Mr. Dalton'S home
district.
Mr.. Battle said, eff you be-
lieve that we who are now in
Office have made an honest and
sincere effort to give clean, sound
and efficient government =.
then you have the privilege
and responsibility-of so express
Ing yourselves at the POLLS"
Road Plan Attacked.
Gov. Battle also hammered
away, as other Democratic Or
ganization leaders have done, at
Mr.. Dalton'S revenue bond plan
for financing road improvements.
Mr.. Stanley'S statement, de-
voted almost solely to criticism
OF the plan, said he found that
Mr.. Dalton'S plan IF amortized
over period of 331a years at an
interest rate of 3 per cent -
would cost Virginia $57,510.000
in interest.
My opponent, Mr.. Stanley
said, would have the people be-
lieve that the State could issue
$l00 million in special revenue
bonds and pay for them out of
gasoline tax without increasing
taxes . but don't be fooled :"
The interest on the bonds, Mr..
Stanley said, would go a long
way toward improving our
roads"
Mr.. Dalton accused the Demo-
cratic Party leadership of telling
only part of the story When they
criticized his road plan. Further
more. he said, he would agree to
recommend that his proposal be
submitted to a referendum.
He said Senator Byrd. Demo-
crat, of Virginia. and ex-Gov-
ernor Tuck wouldn't tell The
voters that the Dalton road plan
would have to approved by the
legislature. And Mr. Dalton said
they knew it we'll.
Truck Tax Dodging Denied.
Attorney General ]. Lindsay
Almond, also a candidate for
reelection, said Mr.. Dalton S
Thursday night assertion that
big truckers were lodging the
State gasoline tax ''iS as incor-
rect as it is irresponsible"
He said a provision of the
law made the truckers eager to
comply to avoid extra taxation
as a penalty.
Independent gubernatorial
candidate Howard N. Carwile,
campaigning in Arlington. is
sued a challenge last night for
Mr.. Stanley and Mr.. Dalton to

paign contributors and amounts
