BidauIt WithdrdWs,
Sd Vote Fails 10 Pick
French President
LunieI, NoegeIen and
Delbos Each Are Far
Below Needed TotuI
BY the Associoted Press

VERSAILLES, France, Dec.
18.-France's badly divided par
lament failed again today to
elect a president of the republic
in an unprecedented third round
of voting.
None of the three candidates
left in the contest got anywhere
enough votes for election.
Premier Joseph Laniel, wealthy
industrialist, wound up with 358,
Socialist Candidate Marcel-Ed-
mond Naegelen 313, and Radical
Socialist Yvon Delbos 225. For
eign Minister Georges Bidault
withdrew just before the third
round of voting began.
Fourth Ballot Due Tonight.
The joint session of parliament
cast 26 votes for a varied asSort-
ment of men who were not Off
cially candidates. Thus the num-
ber of votes needed for election
was 462.
A fourth ballot tonight is now
required to try to break the
deadlock.
Mr.. Naegelen led with 299 of
the 923 votes cast by members of
the National Assembly and SEN
ate in the second ballot last
night. Mr.. Laniel had 276, Mr..
Delbos 185 and Mr.. Bidault, of
the Catholic dominated Popular
Republican Movement (MRP)
143. Ten other candidates were
out of the running.
Majority Vote Required.
A majority of the votes cast is
required for election to the
seven-year term to succeed Pres
ident Vincent Auriol. Never be-
fore in French history have as
many as three ballots been re-
quired. Each ballot is a four
hour affair, since each member
must walk to the roStrum and
drop his secret ballot into an
urn.
Though the presidency is
largely a ceremonial post with
almost no power, the candidates
views and beliefs were playing a
big part in the corridor politick-
ing accompanying the race for
the Sought-after post.
The Communists after the
first ballot threw their support
to Mr.. Naegelen because he and
the Socialists, like the Reds,
oppose the European Army.
Some observers thought the Red
switch might be the kiss of
death
Church Ties Opposed.
Because Mr.. Bidault's party is
as close to a church faction as
any in France, he was opposed
by various groups, particularly
the Radical Socialists. The
many times foreign minister's
staunch advocacy of the Euro
pean army plan also ruled out
Socialist support for him, but
gained him strength in quarters
which want to see Western de-
fense strengthened by German
troops and the advancement of
European unity.
Mr. Delbos favors the Euro
pean army but his candidacy
produced little excitement either
for or against him in the early
stages.
There still was talk that a
deadlock might bring out COM
promise choice. Former Premier
Henri Queille, a Radical Socialist,
and the retiring president, Mr..
Auriol, were those most men
toned.

The public schools have no
psychiatrists of their own. And
the city has only four other
child-guidance clinics besides his,
DR.. Duval said. All charge fees
for service, according to the
ability of patients to pay.
The Kiwanis clinic started
operating in January, 1852.
DR.. Duval said the clinic has
been helping to straighten out
many problem children. Some
of the youngsters have been
referred to the clinic by police.
Clinic Overloaded.
The clinic so far has given

It has also given course in

with school officials that this is
even more important in the long

these were sick students, that

Citizens Would
Lower Age for
Trying Youths
Law Allows Them
To Evode Penalties,
Federation Says

The Federation of Citizens
Associations last night called for
lowering the age at which iuve-
nile delinquents may be tried in
adult courts.
The association, in a resolu-
ton, also blasted the present
law pertaining to juveniles as a
"maternalistic" one which allows
them to "evade punishment for
their wrongdoing."
Currently, youths under l8
must answer for violations only
to Juvenile Court. In some very
serious cases, that court may
waive it's authority so that the
offender may be tried in Mu-
nicipal Court or the U. S. District
Court for the District of Co.
lumbia. But this is seldom done.
Would Hold Parents Liable.
Last nights resolution did not
specify the exact age at which
the federation favored changing
juvenile status.
Another resolution called for
an amendment to existing law
by which parents could be held
financial liable for damage done
by delinquent offspring.
Strong criticism of the ham
ding of cases by Juvenile Court
was voiced by Delegate Clifford
H. Newell.
Mr.. Newell said that he OBJ
served, at one time as member
of the Juvenile Court Advisory
Committee, some Juvenile Court
proceedings.
II was amazed to see grown
up boys and girls come before
that Judge and receive the kind
of sentences they got," Mr..
Newell said. After being talked
to" by the judge, Mr.. Newell
said, the youthful offenders we're
freed, "Smirking and smiling, as
to say we've put something over
on the court"
The current Judge, Edith H.
Cockrell, was on the bench at
the time.
Miss Virginia O'Neil, Fedora
ton representative on the Dis
trict Commissioners Youth Ad-
visory Council, opposed the reso-
luton as "a step backward" and
a negative approach to the
problem"
Named for Star Trophy.
In other business, Mark H.
Hetrick of 1911 Congress street
Sc, a delegate from the Con-
gresS Heights Association, was

the 1853 Evening Star Trophy.
The trophy is awarded an
nually for outstanding civic
service. Mr.. Hetrick was nomi-
mated for his leadership in a
poll on school racial integra-
ton. The survey is still in
progress.
The federation voted against
a move to change the meeting
night from Saturdays to Fri
days. At the next meeting it
will vote on whether to change
to Thursdays. Last nights ses-
sion was held in The Board
Room of The District Building.

tion and the clinic last year
served only about one per cent
of 5000 students.
The clinic, with it's present
staff, actually shouldn't take
more than 25 students during a
school year to do top job" he
said.
The clinic has had many re-
quests for help from other
schools throughout the city, but
it has had to turn them down.
It will even have to limit ele-
mentary cases in the Southeast
to one or two from each school,
at least this winter, DR.. Duval said
There are 13 white grade schools
east of the Anacostia River-the
area served by the clinic-with
one new one due to open this
month. These include most of
the largest white schools in the
city.
The Kiwanis clinic has the ap-
proval of both the Board of Ed
ucation and the District Medical
Society. On the staff as con-
sultants are DR.. Robert B. Sulli-

By james 6. Deone

A leading Washington psy-
chiatrist yesterday reported that
the Districts first public school
psychiatric clinic has proved a
success and is being expanded.
The psychiatrist, DR.. Addison
M. Duval, at the same time
warned that the city'S available
psychiatric service - the kind
average citizens can affords
seriously overtaXed. And he
urged that the city itself provide
such service through the public
schools, partly, he said, to help
combat juvenile delinquency.
DR.. Duval is assistant super
intendent of st. Elizabeth's Hos
pital. He also is director of the
psychiatric clinic now being
operated on a volunteer basis at
Anacostia High School and two
Southeast junior highs, Kramer
and Sousa.
DR.. Duval's clinic, sponsored
by the Kiwanis Club of Eastern
Branch, gets no financial sup
port from the schools. It's "a
volunteer staff members-includ-
ing nine psychiatrists-in almost
all cases donate their work, and
no charge is made to parents or
the school.

DR.. Duval disclosed that the
clinic this winter is planning to
begin taking patients from Ana
costa elementary schools. 1t also
has recently added a treatment
program.
Until September, the clinic
offered only a consultation serv-
ice, examining students, inter =
viewing their parents and then
giving advice to parents and
teachers. But some patients who
needed follow-up treatment ran
into waiting lists six months to
a year long at other clinics, DR..

D. T.. Pediatricians
Offer Aid in Fight
Upon Delinquency
Bv Miriom OttenbeYo

} Washington's leading pedia-
tricians yesterday volunteered
en- maSSe to give their profess
sional services to all 26 neighbor-
hood committees of the Commis-
Sioner' Youth Council.
The offer came from the Dis
trict chapter of the American
Academy of Pediatrics through
its State chairman, DR.. Hugh J.
Davis. It was made in a letter
to Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle,
chairman of the Commissioners
Youth Council.
"We are gratified by this offer
of professional help from such
a distinguished group" Mrs.
Doyle declared. "We hope that
other professional groups and
individuals will be willing to
give their time, too"
Mental Health, Too.
DR.. Davis emphasized that the
pediatricianS are concerned
about the mental as we'll as the
physical health of the children.
He pointed out that the group
includes some who have special
lied in child psychiatry. Further,
he said, "the whole Academy is
awake to the fact that we must
treat the whole child, that his
mental state and training is as
important as his physical condi-
ton"
He visualized the pediatricians
working with individual children
through the area committees
and particularly reaching those
who are not ordinarily seen by
pediatricianS in private practice.
AS one form of participation
in the study and prevention of
delinquency among children" he
wrote Mrs. Doyle, "the District
of Columbia chapter of the
Academy feels that by having
representation of one of it's
members on each of the area
groups when they are formed,
a real service might be rendered
in this worthy and urgent under
taking.
May we make our offer di-
rectly to you, chairman of the
Commissioners Youth Council,
to render any service in which
our group experienced in the
field Of child guidance, training
and help may be of assistance. ;"
26 NeighbOrhOOd Committees
The council is hoping to get
as much professional help as
possible on the 26 neighborhood
committees. An appeal has
already been made to profess
siona1 groups and agencies to
notify the council of their pro-
grams for youth and any staff,
facilities or services they can
make available to the council.
Since the council has no funds
to carry out its program, it must
rely on voluntary help for it's
neighborhood approach to pre-
vention of delinquency. The
membership of the area commit
tees will be named after the
council has heard from all the
groups in the community now
working in the field and willing
to serve on a continuing basis
with the council.
Another group now working
out it's participation in the pro-
gram is the District Recreation
Society. It's chairman, Robert H.
Snead, said the society of recrea-
ton leaders in both public and
private agencies this week plans
to work out some method of par
ticipation with all neighborhood
committees.
