Increases in Costs
OF Schools Charted

The $22, 1000 District exr
penditure for operation of the
school system during the 1950-51
school year represents an increase
of 66 per cent over the same cost
for the 1945-46 year, it was re-
ported here yesterday.
The comparison was part Of q
report issued by the Council of
State Chambers of Commerce
showing that the expenditures of
States for operation of school
systems has increased SO per cent
over the same period nationally.
Increase for Virginia during
the period was SO per cent and
for Maryland 125 per cent.
The report stated that in spite
of the 88 per cent rise in the
total expenditure nationally, the
expenditure per pupil had only
risen IS per cent-from $136 to
1924.
The council said the figures
represented "a record the States
and localities have made on their
own, not with Federal aid" and
added:
1T is almost certain that cur
rent spending for schools is
greater than it would have been
under a Federally assisted pro-
gram. And equally important is
the fact that control of educa-
ton is still in local hands with
no Federal strings attached"

D.C.CottIe RustIers
CorroHed in Raid
On MARYLAND Farm

Two determined rustlers raided
a Maryland farm yesterday only
to be tracked down near their
hideout by an intrepid Prince
Georges County policeman.
The misguided cowboys sur
rendered without a struggle.
They were aged 10 and IL re-
spectively.
Police said the boys, who live
in the southeast section, boarded
a bus about noon and travelled
to Cheltenham, Md. There, they
invaded the farm of Joe Edelen

In the barn were Steve and
Dolly, siX-year-old draft horses.

dies and climbed aboard.

Chief 10 Discuss
Youthful Crime
With CityHeads
Believes Parents
Should Be Held
Accountable

In this city a biting dog
legally is held a greater menace
to society than a child with
criminal tendencies.
After a dog bites a person or
persons for the second time, it's
owner can be held responsible
and liable to redress through
lawsuit.
But there is no law which says
a parent shall be held account
able for the misguided deeds Of
his juvenile son or daughter.
Metropolitan police, under the
leadership of Chief Robert v.
Murray and Deputy Chief How
ard v. Covell, are Of the opinion
that parents should be drawn
closer into the sordid picture of
juvenile crime.
Asks School for Parents.
This week Maj. Murray eX-
poets to discuss police aims with
the District commissioners. In
spector Covel is author of a
proposal to force adults to reckon
with their responsibilities. He
believes a school for parents.
and culpability for damages in
thefts and stolen property.
would help curb teen-age crime.
AS another argument for the
plan, police point out that par
ents or guardians are legally re-
sponsible for personal injury or
property damage occurring from
the use of automobiles by
juveniles.
The growing problem Of juve-
nile crime was pointed up by
1t. Joseph Shimon, who since
the first of the year has headed
a special squad of 10 detectives
combating crime of all sorts in
the second precinct.
In AZ months the majority Of
1000 cases studied by the squad
were committed by juveniles.
One case was cited in which
three boys were caught Juggling
clothing from a northwest store.
Supervision Helps.
Investigation revealed that the
boys lived far away on the south
east side, and had journeyed by
Streetcar to the scene of the
crime. 1t. Shimon cited this to
show how gangs had tended to
expand beyond their own COM
Other policemen gave exam
pies Of the way supervision cuts
down teen-age crime. For in
stance, it was shown that private
and parochial schools suffer lit
tie of the damage inflicted on
public schools by vandals.
The old Walker school at Third
and K streets NV. once a heavy
target of vandals, has expert
enced no trouble since a Boys
Club took it over as headquar-
tiers.
Delinquency to BE Topic.
Maj. Murray plans to see the
Commissioners after comforting
at IL am. Tuesday with the
Inter-Denominational Alliance at
police headquarters. The group
has expressed an interest in pre-
ventive measures advanced by
the police.
Another discussion of delin-
quency will be included at a
meeting 8 pm. Tuesday of the
Columbia Historical Society. G.
Rowland Shaw, volunteer worker
In crime prevention, will be the
speaker.
His talk will cover 100 years Of
dealing with delinquency in the
District. AS long ago as 1885, a
history Of the Police Department
revealed juvenile delinquency
was blamed on children who
"spurned all parental restraint
(if that exists)."

ANNAPOLIS, May 16. - j.
Glenn Beall, jr.. son of Mary

was elected chairman of the
Maryland Federation of Young
Republicans.
Running against Hugh H.
Hassell of Montgomery County,
the nominating committee can
didate. the 25-year-old Frost
burg insurance man won, 73 to %.
The vote was taken at the
Federation's third biennial con-
vention in Carvel Hall Hotel.
A few minutes later Mr.. Has
sell. who is Southern Regional
director Of the national fedora
ton, lost to Stanleigh r. Bow
ers, of Prince Georges County.
in a fight for the post of ma
tional committeeman. Mr.. Bow
ers was the nominating commit
tees choice.
Hagerstown Woman Wins.
In another contest Mrs. Will
liam E. Bennight of Hagerstown,
a floor nominee, was elected
State co-chairman. She defeated
Miss Janet Turner of Anne Arun-
del County, the committees
choice, by a SO to % tally.
Prince Georges 19-member
delegation, biggest at the con-
vention, used its strength freely.
A coalition Of Prince Georges
and small county delegates, tired
of what they called a paucity of
influence, caused the upsets.
Prince Georges delegates ex-
pressed the view that Mont
gomery and Baltimore delega-
tions have held sway too long.
The battle for Federation
offices followed a brief morning
session and a luncheon at which
Representative Warburton, Re-
publican, of Delaware, gave the
convention a few pointers.
Mr.. Warburton, 36. is hon.
orary president of the National
Federation of Young Republi-
cans. He told the convention
that the 1854 election will be
crucial because of President
Eisenhwoer's need for Congress
sional support.
Today's youth is smart, knows
what it wants and is not amen
able to compromise" he said.
McKeldin Victory Seen.
Another morning speaker, Rep
resentative Small, Republican,
of Maryland, predicted Gov. Nc
Keldin could win another term
in the statehouse "if he wishes
to-"
The governor hasn't said
whether he will seek reelection,
although speculation among Re-
publicans is that he will. If he
runs, Mr.. Small said, "he prob
ably will be the first repeater as
a Republican governor of the
State"
In an address prepared for de-
livery at a banquet tonight, Rep
resentative Killings, Republican,
OF California, said allied criti-
ciSm of United States truce ne
gotiations in Korea may cause
delay in congressional action on
an emergency immigration bill
Endorsed by President Eisen-
hover
Mr.. Killings said Congress was
mot enthusiastic" about admit
ting 100000 Europeans, mostly
refugees" in the next two years,
as the President has asked.
Nevertheless, he added:
when the chips are down, I
am convinced that the Republi-
can Congress will continue to
support every major proposal
submitted by the President and
his administration"
The Federation adopted reso-
lutions opposing tax reduction
legislation until the budget is
balanced and approving reor-
ganization Of the Baltimore City
court system.
