Summer Recreation
Program Curtai|ed
By Lack Of Funds

A sharp cutback in the Dis
trict's summer recreation pro-
gram will be necessary this year,
Milo Christensen, Recreation
Department superintendent. said
yesterday.
Mr.. christensen said the
Recreation Department does not
have the necessary funds to pay
the usual part-time summer
workers.
AS the recreation budget now
stands, he said, neither. will
there be funds for that purpose
after July /, when the new fiscal
year begins. The House-passed
District budget does not contain
the $4,000 necessary for these
part time workers. If the Senate
puts the funds in. the summer
program will be expanded again.
Mr.. Christensen said Sc
school buildings operated by the
department during the summer
as recreation centers will be
closed at 4 pm. during the week
and all day on week ends. In
the past, they have been kept
open longer hours.
This means that the play
grounds adjacent to the schools
will not have recreation leaders,
toilet facilities, drinking water.
first-aid kits and play equipment
boxes after 4 pm.
The street shower program
also will be cut drastically, Mr..
Christensen said.
In past summers, more than
1870 street showers have been op-
Grated in congested areas Of the
city where pools are not avail
able. The Recreation Depart
ment opens the fire hydrants
and, with a special gadget, gets
a big shower going during GER
tain hours.
This summer, only So such
showers will be operated. They
will be operated only once a day
rather than the usual two times.

New Standards
Prepared for
Juvenile Courts
Restotement Planned
BY ChiIdren's Bureau
And Probation Group

A revision Of juvenile court
standards to put more emphasis
on the legal rights of children
and their parents is being pre-
pared jointly by the Children's
Bureau and the National Pro-
baton and Parole Association.
This was announced yesterday
by DR.. Martha M. Eliot, chief
Of the Children's Bureau Of the
Department Of Health, Educa-
ton and Welfare.
The document also is to en-
phasize the protective nature Of
juvenile court proceedings and
the necessity of avoiding rigidity
in handling the social and emo
tional problems of children.
Previous Statement In 1928.
DR.. Eliot said the move has
grown out. of q need apparent in
the last several years for a re-
statement Of juvenile court
standards. The previous formal
statement on the subject was
issued by the buerau and the
association in 1928, she said.
Material has been in the pro-
cess of development for the last
two years, she said.
AS part of the preparation Of
the revised standards, a group
Of 80 experts in juvenile court
proceedings spent three days in
Washington last week going over
a draft. Judge Edith Cockrill Of
the Juvenile Court here presided
over the conference
Karl Holton. chief probation
officer Of Los Angeles County.
Calf, was co-chairman. Judge
Alfred D. Noyes Of Montgomery
County Juvenile Court; Prof.
Robert M. Cooper of George
Washington University School of
Law. and Richard Chappell Of
the U. s. District Courts were
among the conferees.
200 Others Participate.
The revision will take into
consideration the suggestions Of
those attending the conference.
as well as suggestions of some
200 other persons over the coun-
try dealing with juveniles. They
are,sending comments in writing.
DR.. Eliot said the standards
issued in 1923 had a major effect
on the development of juvenile
court processes. She said the
revised standards will emphasize
the need for all juvenile court
workers to be on guard to pro-
tect the legal rights Of a child
in the informality of the court
setting.
AS drafted, the standards dis
cusS the jurisdiction Of the court,
its procedures, disposition Of
cases. court facilities and per-
sonnel, administration. records
and plant, and the courts role in
the community.

prentiss Backs
Director Plan
Over Boards
City Government
Type Of Control
Called Sound

Commissioner Louis w. Prem
tiss last night conceded that the
single-director, as opposed to
policy-making board. type Of
governmental department con-
troll is absolutely sound"
In q weekly program over
Radio Station WWDC, Gen.
Prentiss was quizzed In connec-
ton with the city government
program which contemplates
abolishing the existing Public
Welfare Board and opposes
establishing y Public Health
Board.
The reorganizers have taken
those positions, Notwithstanding
strong sentiment in favor Of re-
tanning the welfare body as 1t
now exists and q move by the
local medical profession to sup
plant the single director opera
ton of the Health Department
with a nine-member board.
Absolutely Sound
Schuyler Lowe, general ad-
miniStration director, considers
that the Commissioners have a
mandate from Congress to keep
policy-making boards out of the
governmental picture. A former
board of commissioners laid
down this principle before the
Congress which last year i'm
plicitly accepted it by letting the
overall. reorganization program,
as proposed, go into effect.
Speaking of the former Com
missioners' stand, Gen. Prentiss
declared:
Their position from an ad-
ministrative point Of view is abb
solutely sound"
But, he emphasized, he hasn't
decided whether to follow the
reorganizerS' general recon-
mendations for health and well
fare. ~.
Asked Of he feels the present
Board Of Commissioners is
bound by the reorganization pro-
posals of the previous Com
misSioners, Gen. Prentiss indi-
Gated no.
Plans Were Flexible.
"The (former CommissionersD
plans were very flexible" Gen.
Prentiss said. 'They did not
represent a specific plan to be
accepted, but something more in
the nature of suggestions and
commitments to Congress"
The Engineer Commissioner
was asked point-blank If he
favorS retention of the present
Welfare Board. He replied that
he does not make a public state
ment on an issue before the
Citizens Advisory Council.
Reminded that one Of his COL
leagues, Commissioner Renah r.
Camalier. has declared against
the boards abolition. Gen. Prem
tiss retorted: II speak for only
one of the Commissioners. and
that's Prentiss."
One uf his chief interests in
the beard concept. the Com
missioner said, is its advantage
from a standpoint Of community
participation.
On another subject, Gen.
Prentiss reported that he has re-
ceived 1880 replies from 10000
postcards distributed to motor
lists on the Potomac River bridges
recently. Information supplied
on the cards will help authori-
ties determine the location Of
another river crossing to allevi-
ate traffic congestion.
