Juvenile Squad Urged
On County Police

Prince Georges County police
yesterday were asked to set up a
juvenile squad to be composed of
at least two men.
The Juvenile Court Advisory
Committee for the county also
recommended that a social
worker be added to the staff.
These recommendations and
others. including the setting up
of a youth council, were made
at a meeting of the committee,
held in the County Service
Building at Hyattsville.
The purpose of the youth
council. it was said, would be to
study the problem of juvenile
delinquency and organize area
and neighborhood councils
throughout the county.
An effort also is being made
to mobilize county residents with
the idea of seeking additional
recreational facilities.
Also Endorsed is the program
Of ''hot rod" clubs, which now
is being planned by the police
department and a committee
headed by State Senator John
Fletcher.

Gov. Battle Foresees
Settlement Of Site
For Eastern Hospital
BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 81
Gov. Battle sees "a fair chance"
of solution of the conflict between
Colonial Williamsburg, Inc, and
the College of William and Mary
on the relocation of Eastern State
Hospital at Williamsburg.
The Governor said the Virginia
Advisory Legislative Council sis
still actively working on the prob
lem, and from what I know of it,
] think there is a fair chance Of
10 solution"
A changed attitude on the part
of college officials reported yes
terday boosted hopes the Rookie
Teller plan for relocating the
hospital may be revived.
The colleges board of visitors
previously had announced it was
"unalterably opposed" to giving
up any of the colleges 1,4OO
acres.
$14 Million Saving Seen.
The background of the plan
is this:
The Rockefeller-financed null
ti-million dollar Williamsburg
restoration unit-Colonial Will
liamsburg-offered last January
to lend the State some $23 mil
lion to complete the hospital
transfer.
Eastern State Hospital would
be transferred to Dunbar on the
fringe of Williamsburg.
Colonial Williamsburg says
Virginia would save $14 million
over the piecemeal relocation
plan since the transfer started
in 1884.
The offer was made on the
assumption the concern could
take over the old hospital site
for its restoration. The 207-
acre site is owned by William
and Mary, which was opposed
to giving up any of it's land.
Accordingly, Colonial Will
liamsburg withdrew its offer.
May Yield IL Acres.
But the college today was re-
ported ready to give up II acres
of its land to the restoration
outfit.
At Williamsburg, a spokesman
for Colonial Williamsburg said
only that his Board of Trustees
could decide if the offer was
satisfactory.
Gov. Battle yesterday recalled
the hospital property was given
to the college for educational
purposes" by act of the General
Assembly in 1945.
1.-THE Board of Visitors, of
course, is charged with the duty
Of preserving and administering
the physical assets of the col
lege," he said. "As I understand
it. the board has felt that prop
erty conveyed to the college for
educational purposes should be
used for those purposes"

Falls Church Dispute
On Schools Continues

An impasse between the Falls
Church School Board and City
Council on a bond issue proposal
will have to be settled in the
new year.
The two groups have been
unable to come to agreement
on a suggested 100000 con-
struction program that has been
before them a number of times
in 1858.
The beard and council have
ideas on how the money should
be spent.
The board has indicated that
half the money will go for addi-
tional rooms at George Mason
High School and the other half
for more elementary classrooms,
probably at the Mount Daniel
School.
The board has declined to
commit itself firmly to the Mount
Daniel addition, however, and
some board members still insist
a new elementary school should
be built in the southwest part
of the city.
At board meeting last night.
the meeting was adjourned by
a As vote without giving the
council a final answer. The mo-
ton was made by Vice Chairman
Richard L. Saintsing, who said
the council had never formally
asked for a specific plan.
Chairman John A. Johnson
and Board Members Oliver j.
Caldwell and John Wells urged
an immediate decision advising
the council of a specific con-
Struction plan.

Camalier 10 Inspect
Receiving Home for
Report on Needs

Commissioner Renah CANA
lier planned a visit to the Re-
ceiving Home for Children to-
day to give him fresh arguments
to take to the commissioners
in behalf of enlarging the over
crowded institution.
The Commissioners we're
scheduled to consider the Re-
ceiving Home at their meeting
today. Commissioner Samuel
Spencer told concerned members
of the Senate Juvenile De-
linquency subcommittee last
week that the commissioners
would try to do something about
the institution.
Commissioner Camalier de-
clared during "Your Commits
sioners Report" over Station
WMAL-TV last night that the
mass escape from the institution
Tuesday "dramatized" the over
crowding and undertaking at
the Receiving Home.
Break Through Window.
Six boys escaped from the
home by breaking out a 5-by-9-
inch pane of glass, wriggling
through the aperture and climb
ing over a barbed wire-topped
fence. They were still at large
today.
Com issioner Camalier
planned to take Archie Hutson,
District director of construction,
on a tour of inspection to deter
mine what steps can be taken
Immediately to make the institu-
ton more secure.
The Welfare Department re-
quested $4,000 to provide two
more wings. another floor on an
incompleted wing and a high
wall to replace the chain-link
fence. Commissioner Spencer
told the Senate Juvenile De-
linquency subcommittee that the
Commissioners had not included
this request in their budget but
he said the question would be
reviewed.
During last nights broadcast
Commissioner Camalier said Sc
curity measures at the home on
Mount Olivet road were make
shift" and the boys could not
have escaped had there been
sufficient staff to watch them.
Crime Decrease Hailed.
During the telecaSt Commits
sioner Spencer was asked what
he considered the District gov
ernment's greatest achievement
during 1858. He listed the Is
per cent reduction in the city's
crime rate during the past four
months, progress in reorganizing
the city government and progress
toward eliminating segregation.
Engineer Commissioner Louis
w. PrentiSS said during the tele-
cast that the Motor Vehicle
Parking Agency has recon-
mended an initial site for a
fringe-area parking lot to help
relieve downtown traffic. He
said the site. at the south end OF
! the South Capitol Street Bridge,
could provide parking space for
an estimated 1000 cars.

Discord Hits Party
As Democrats Ignore
Women at Session
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Dec. 81. - A
soprano section today Joined in
sounding a note of discord over
what has been billed as a Demo-
cratic Party harmony meeting"
here next week. Women were not
among those originally invited to
the conclave of Maryland party
leaders. L.
cts outrageous declared Mrs.
Mary B. Duvall. AS senior vice
chairman of the State Central
Committee she is the highest Of
fetal in the Maryland party Or
ganization since the death of
chairman Robert B. Ennis.
I'm ready to quit" she said
after learning invitations had
gone to some so other party lead
erS-all men.
Three Others Missed.
Mrs. M. Alice Candles, Demo-
cratic national committeeman
for Maryland, and DR.. Mildred
Otenasek, the other central COM
mittee vice chairman, said they
hadn't received invitations,
either.
Another missing from the or
ganization list was Mrs. John A.
Meyer, national congressional
committeewoman.
Mrs. Duvall said she didn't
want to create any disturb
ance."
But, after ALL" she added,
I'm supposed to be the head
Of the Democratic State Central
Committee"
Mrs. Duvall and DR.. Otenasek
have indicated they will support
DR.. H. c. Byrd. retiring. Univer-
sity of Maryland president, for
the nomination for governor
next year.
DR.. Byrd and George P. Ma
honey, Baltimore contractor, are
the only official candidates for
the nomination so far.
Seek Harmony in Primary.
The Monday meeting, says it's
sponsors, is aimed at preven-
ton of a bitter primary which
would leave the party disunited
in the general election. There
has been talk of a harmony
candidate"
One of the sponsors, Clarence
w. Miles, has been mentioned
as possibility for such a role.
Another is former Gov. William
Preston Lane, jr.
Mrs. Duvall coupled her state
ment Of outrage with a blast at
Mr.. Miles.
HE supported Eisenhower for
President, and now he talks
ABOUT unity among Democrats, !"
she said.
Lawrence Lockwood, a leading
Mahoney supporter, had come
out with similar criticism earlier
in the day.
"We particularly resent and
question the role of Clarence w.
Miles in setting himself up as a
leader" said Mr.. Lockwood.
"TIe is the same Clarence Miles
who in a published advertisement
announced himself as supporting
the Republican candidate for
President in the last election"
There was no immediate COM
ment from Mr.. Miles.
Deny Stop MahOney Move.
When the meeting was an
nounced Tuesday night, sponsors
emphasized the session was not
aimed at any candidate-of1cial
or potential. A spokesman speci-
fed it certainly was not a stop
Mahoney" maneuver, as Maho-
ney supporters had described it
when the session was in the
speculative stage weeks ago.
Besides Mr.. Miles, those who
had a hand in arranging the
meeting included former United
States Senator Herbert r.

national committeeman; James

people have been criticized, per-
haps unfairly, for rushing to take
advantage of it. Congress has been
urged to plug this loophole and
may do so at any time. What effect
this will have on the movies-go-
abroad trend is problematical. In
any case, temporary existence of
the loophOle has already wrought
havoc on Hollywood.
Using Frozen Assets
HERE is a second, and more i'm
portant, reason for the great exo-
dus: Hollywood wants to get back
its huge foreign profits that are
impounded by European govern
ments. These profits amount to
whacking 40 per cent of the whole
movie melon; therefore producers
are making pictures overseas with
frozen lire, francs and pounds,
and distributing these pictures in
the US. for good sound dollars.
This was the story with Quo
Vadis, a film made in Rome witha
budget of So. 900, 900. But this sum
was frozen" in Italy anyhow, and

THERE is revolution taking
Il place in movie production
which has nothing to do with Sd
or TV. If it succeeds, Hollywood
will fall from glory with a fearful
bump.
The film industry is going global,
with stars, stories, directors and
producers interchangeable and
multi-lingual. Hollywood is losing
out fast as the center of this indus
try. As things are developing, there
will be no center.
Already, in order to survive,
Hollywood's people have become
nomads. You will find Hollywood
directors, actors and crews operat-
ing in every European country
this side of the Iron Curtain, to
say nothing of Samoa and the Fijis.
Italy, a country with terrain
and climate much like California,
is the favorite of Hollywood folks
in exile. The standing joke in the
new "Hollywood-on-the -Tiber"
has to do with the Beverly Hills
psychoanalyst vacationin Rome
who saw so many of his patients
there that he decided to transfer
his couch to the Eternal City.
Crowded with Americans
F1ARRY'S Bar, on the Grand Canal
in Venice, is today crowded with
more Hollywood characters than
ever one used to see at Ciro's or
Romanoff's. They are there right
now for the Venice Festival -
August 20 to September s. which
is beginning to take on the impor-
tance of the Oscar" Awards.
To crown it all, Enrol Flynn is
now an Italian producer. His COM
pany, Viva Films. has just COM
pleted Crossed Swords" at Cine
citta in Rome, with all in the cast
Italian save himself.
Now he has in production YER

be glad to know, however, that an

guage: after the apple shooting
sequence is over, there will be no
lack of sword play and romancing.
