Present SerVicesHe|d
Inadequate 10 Curb
Juvenile Delinquency

Present local services aren't
equal to the task presented by
the growing problem of juvenile
delinquency, DR.. Martha M
Eliot, chief Of the Children's
Bureau Of the Department OF
Health, Education and Welfare,
said yesterday.
"It is a case of reaching these
youngsters too late with too lit
tle," said DR.. Eliot in a state
ment on the local problem, de-
spite the hard work of Washing
ton agencies.
Only by taking aggressive ac-
ton, "and that includes spend
ing dollars" will Washington be
able to cope with it's delinquent
youth, according to the chill
dren's bureau head.
Must Go to Youths.
While there is no set pattern
guaranteed to produce 100 per
cent results, she pointed out.
ANY program which is going
to do the job must include
reaching youngsters where they
are, even if they are on the ave-
nues and in the alleys, and not
waiting for them to show up in
crime statistics"
Until the responsible elements
OF Washington realize the sit
uation and act, she said, "I fear
we may continue to read almost
daily accounts of juvenile delin-
quency."
DR.. Eliot cited as one method
the program Of the New York
City Youth Board, financed
jointly by the State and city. It
hires trained young men to seek
out gangs of rowing youngsters
and wean them away from van
dalism and mischief. 1t sets up
centerS to which any one in the
community can refer a boy or
girl in the early stages Of prob
lem behavior.
Costs Are Stressed.
1t has cooperative plan with
city welfare and meshes the
services of all city organizations
with youth programs for maxi
mum usefulness with the great
est number of children.
DR.. Eliot said that kind of
program costs money.
Property owners and parents
should stop to think whether
they prefer to continue to pay
the high cost of property damage
and twisted lives or to invest in
forward-looking programs to cut
down on this personal, human,
social waste and make these
youngsters contributing rather
than detracting members of our
society,"" she said.

been dragging on for weeks, will
go into at least one night session
next week.
Chairman Robert E. McLaugh-
lin of the District Public Utili-
ties Commission said he will an
nounce the date either today OF
tomorrow.
The reason for the rare sched-
uling, Mr.. Mclaughlin said, is
the commissions desire to give
the public as much opportunity
as possible to state it's views
Workingmen, he noted, can't
spare the time to show up at day
time sessions.
The commission heard from
three daylight representatives of
the citizenry yesterday.
d. C. Purchase Suggested.
John v. Case, vice president of
the Mid-city Citizens Associa-
tions, declared the city should
either SubSidize Capital Transit
or buy the outfit outright.
Subsidies. however undesir-
able" Mr.. Case said, "have been
necessary in the case of farm
erS and certain industries.
We have but one or two choices
to make in the case Of Capital
TranSit-SubSidies or municipal
ownership"
The civic delegate quoted
from an editorial in The Star
which stated. in connection with
the three-cent-per-ride school
fare, that the losses incurred by
the company from this source
should be borne by the general
public, not just by transit rid
erS. :"
Fare Reduction Proposed.
A perennial transit hearing
witness, Benjamin Cesario. a
barber Of 555 Fourteenth street
Sc, yesterday declared that
"the way to get customers is to
reduce fares"
Company Attorney F. G. Await
asked Mr.. CeSario why he raised
the price of haircuts in the last
few years. The barber thought
a moment. TITS the high cost
Of living" he said.
But, Mr.. CeSario added, with q
diSparaging wave Of the arm to-
ward transit officials in the au-
dience: These gentlemen here
have all got cars"
Limited Pass Suggested.
Mrs. Peter P. Schmidt of 1888
Rhode Island avenue NV. rec
commended q "fun-feSt" weekly
pass be adopted by the COM
pany. This would accommodate
the movie going, symphony
going, card-playing crowd at 81

Mrs. Schmidt also thought
q 25-cent weekend visitors
pass would be nice and that
blind persons should be entitled

has experienced among five
other cities, San Francisco, Los
