NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-Presi.
dents of the Is sectional aSSocia-
tionS of the United States Lawn
Tennis Association recommended
today that tennis players be al
lowed to work for sporting goods
firms or coach in schools or col
leges and still remain amateurs,
Such rules would bring the
United States into line with such
other leading tennis nations as
Australia.
The sectional presidents were
appointed as a committee to
study new rules last January.
Their recommendations now
must be acted on by the Execu-
tive Committee of the USLTA
and by the annual meeting of
the USLTA in January.
The proposed new rules pro-

are unfit for the table.
The dove season opens in
Maryland at noon (EST) Sep
tember 20. For some reason not
nearly as many doves are visible
along the roadsides as there were
two weeks ago during the hot
weather. We think they have
flocked up to an extent and are
probably more concentrated.
Some hunters think the cool
nights have made them wing out
of the area. In any event, doves
are more plentiful this year than
for several years past. The daily
limit is eight and the first half
of Maryland's split season runs
through September 20. Vir-
ginia'S dove season opens Sep
tember Is and runs through Sep
temher 80 for the first period.
Duck and goose hunters are
planning for early season hunt
ing. but so far the number of
blinds for rent has been slim.
We have several lined up. but
would be glad to have any of our
readers with blinds for rent to

inquiries.
This is an excellent season for
fresh-water anglers to do some
exploration work. 1t is true that
the topography of the bottom
of most streams changes from
year to year. But there are Ger
tain permanent barriers which
act as current deflectors and
make for good fishing holes
every season. Streams are so
low now that these spots show
up boldly, and it is we'll to mark
them for future reference. This
is particularly true of such
streams as the Monocacy, whose
waters carry so much silt it is
difficult to find the fishing holes.
Water in this stream is at low
ebb now and has been unusually
clear all summer.

Spencer Points 10 Gains
In Fight on D. {. Crime

District Commissioner Samuel
Spencer gave an encouraging re-
port on the fight against crime
in Washington last night at the
meeting of the Georgetown Citi-
zenS' Association.
Mr.. Spencer reported that, ac-
cording to FBI statistics, the Dis
trict's felony rate for the fiscal
year 1852 was 6 per cent less
than that of the Nation as a
whole, even with a 2 per cent cut
in the city's police force in that
year.
He also said the new Council
of Law Enforcement will aid
greatly in the understanding of
District crime by studying all the
phases of crime prevention in re-
lation to each other. It is COM
posed of Is representatives of
various law enforcement agen-
cies in the District. The first
problem it will deal with will be
juvenile delinquency.
After extended debate, the as
sociation approved continued use
of substantially rehabilitated
alley dwellings. provided that
unimproved houses of this type
be demolished by July. 1855.
The group met in st. Johns
Episcopal Church, Potomac and
o streets, NV.

D. c. Delinquency Drive
Backed by Midcity Citizens

The Midcity Citizens Assocja-
ton last night called for full
cooperation with District au-
thorities in combating juvenile
delinquency.
In introducing the measure,
Association President Soterios
Nicholson pointed to the prob
lem as IAN ugly and dangerous
thorn" to the Nations welfare.
Turning to the question of the
Capital Transit Co.'S pending re-
quest for increased fares, the as
sociation unanimously favored
a reduction in fare from the
current II cents to 10 cents.
John V. Case, in supporting
the stand, said the reduction
would make it Improbable for
owners of automobiles to drive
to and from business, as so
many do now. He added that
should the new fare fail to earn
profit for the company, the
District could subsidize the COM
pany
The group also backed up the
slum prevention plan outlined
by the Commissioners. 1t ap-
pointed a committee to deter
mine the worst areas within the
associations boundaries.
The association, which met in
the Thomson School, Twelfth
and L streets NV, made an
honorary member of Miss Edith
L. Grosvenor. teacher of EnPlish
at Eastern and Central High
Schools for Al years and a mem
ber of the group for 80 years.

The citizens also asked for a
further study of the new all

After Capture, official Says

Teen-age vandals, once ap-

At least that's the experience
of Capt. John Ryan, head of the
metropolitan police juvenile
squad.
Capt. Ryan told the steering
committee of the Bi-County
Committee on Vandalism that
the vandal may make several
destructive attacks, but once he
is caught he usually doesn't be-

He spoke to the Montgomery

Capt. Ryan had more than a
few harsh words for parents and
the adult world in general.
He slapped hard at "our in
sured age" and lack of care in
the handling of valuables.
Too often, he said, adults put
temptations in the path of

Owners Of Renovated
Alley Homes Win
Restudy Of Ban
By Colt HendIey, Jr.

A special Commissioners COM
mittee today began restudying
the question of whether owners
of renovated alley dwellings
should vacate by July l, 1855.
After a public nearing that
took up most of Yesterday, the
city heads asked their Commit
tee on Discontinuance of Alley
Dwellings to study the trans
script of the testimony More
than 100 persons showed up at
the hearing to protest the ban
on alley dwellings.
The law now declares such
dwellings must not be used for
homes after July /. 1855.
The protesting citizens were
persons who have spent varying
sums rehabilitating alley homes
and don't want to lose them.
There are more Than 100 such
renovated homes in the city
among the approximately $50
alley dwellings.
Brig. Gen. Louis Prentiss, En-
gineer Commissioner, said the
committee will be expected to
study the transcript and then
come in with recommendations.
A preliminary report on which
the hearing was based recon-
mended fatty that the alley
homes be banned, regardless Of
how nice they might be.
The committee is headed by
John Ihlder, retired executive
director of the National Capital
Housing Authority.
There was a hint of compro-
mise at yesterdays hearing, as
Mr.. Ihlder suggested to the Com
that they could ex-
empt the existing renovated
alley homes. But. Mr.. Ihlder was
opposed to any other concessions
and branded the alley dwellings
as the worst Slums in the city.

are bombarded on all sides by
advertisements and publicity

Capt. Ryan drew full approval
from Prince Georges Police Chief
F. Allen Richard when he sug-
gested that a few warm bot

on curing delinquency.

freedom of will we have our
selves" he said. yet, we admit
that you can't put an old head

Sidney Lust, theater chain op-
orator and a prime mover in the

Judge COckri|I Says
Parental Law Won't
Solve Delinquency

Judge Edith H. Cockrill of the
Juvenile Court took issue with
the proponents of a parental
responsibility law last night in
a speech to the Chevy Chase
Citizens Association.
I'm only a minority of cases
that come before the court are
the parents Intentionally re-
sponsible for their child's delin-
quency," Judge Cockrill told the
group. Later she told reporters
a parental responsibility law is
not the solution to the delin-
quency problem.
In her speech, Judge Cockrill
pointed out that the parents of
delinquents need to be educated
about the problem and encour-
aged in the work of being par
ents. She also pointed out that,
in most juvenile cases that reach
the courts, there is a history of
truancy from school and often
poor adjustment and poor marks
in school.
Sees Prevention Possible.
She said that, since this back
ground of symptoms can be de-
tected before the child gets in
serious trouble, it should be pos
sible to prevent many cases of
juvenile delinquency.
Judge Cockrill suggested that
a concerted effort by parents,
schools and community clubs,
such as the Boys Club, could be
a large help in fighting juvenile
crime. She said such a program
would require more teachers and
special counselors in the schools
but they cannot be hired until
more money is available to hire
them. She pointed out that the
Juvenile Division is operating on
a 1947 budget, even though there
has been a so per cent increase
in the work load.
Would Police LOafers.
"Law enforcement is an i'm
portant factor" she said. "Po-
lice. officers say they are not
social workers, but I think that,
if they would check small chill
dren who are on the streets late
at night and advise parents
about children that are hanging
around corners at night, it would
help solve the problem"
Judge Cockrill pointed out
that every case that reaches the
court costs an average of $4,000
in treatment and expenses. She
said the direct expenses for
handling juvenile delinquency
cases in the District is $6.8 mil
lion a wear.
