Seven-year-old Mary Lou Wei

Cleveland, gets a big piece of cake
from Michael M. Lucak, chairman
of the Cleveland Transit Board, at
CTS Hayden Station dedication
ceremony. Looking on is Judge
William c. Keough, vice chairman
of the CTS board.
Official congratulations to the
Cleveland Transit System on the
completion of it's $t,000,000 Hay
den Station as a permanent re-
placement of the old Windermere
carbarns were rendered at the sta
ton dedication ceremonies Satur-
day by Richard Horan, vice presi-
dent of the East Cleveland City
Commission.

Richard M. Lucak, chairman of
the Cleveland Transit Board, said
Hayden Station was the third
large-scale improvement in the
modernization of CTS which has
been going on since the end of
World War II.
"We inherited 27 worn out
streetcar lines from the old rail
way company when the city bought
it in 1942," said Mr.. Lucak. To-
day only one streetcar line remains
and that one will be converted
to buses within two months.
"CTS has invested over $20,000,-

Greater Cleveland" the CTS chair
man said. "Our next big step for
ward will be the completion of the
Rapid Transit. We are rushing the
work to complete the East Side
line by next November"
More than 1000 men, women
and children, the majority of them
East Clevelanders, toured the
huge bus garage during "open
house" hours. Their biggest thrill
was riding in a bus through the
automatic bus washer which is
controlled by an electric eye.

station took place at 2 p. M, when

One hundred and forty-five

are now "at home" in the new

ators and 45 equipment service
men. Edmund Gorski is superin-
tendent of transportation at Hay
den Station and William Deighan
is superintendent of equipment.
The r. Hanson Co., were general
contractors on the building.

Congressmen Rogers Of Florida
and Heating of New York have
made two of the most notable
ECONOMY" suggestions heard this
year on Capitol Hill. Their pro-
posals are outstanding for two rea-
sons:
They were received with much
public enthusiasm.
Neither is conceded ghost OF
q chance to secure approval.
Both ideas are simple. Mr.. Rogers.
a Democrat, wants to have record
vote on each appropriation bill and
each amendment to such a bill. Mr..
Keating, a Republican, wants to
give the President the power to veto
single items in an appropriation bill.
Both devices, the two Representa-
tives claim. will result in savings
and would make for better govern
ment.
Mr.. Rogers points out that al
most all appropriation bills are
passed on some kind of non-record
vote-either voice, standing or teller
vote Gin which the Representatives
are counted as they file past mem
bers tallying the yeses and the
noes). In none of those votes is a
record made of the stand Of each
Congressman.
Last year, for instance. Congress

not get them by the President in
a separate measure. The Keating
proposal. however, would permit
the President to veto the riders.
Mr.. Keating also has had much
vocal support, but no action. Main
objection is that it would put too
much power into the hands of the
President. Mr.. Keating says that
danger would be outweighed by the
benefits-economy and more order
ly legislation. And, he points out,
if Congress is sure it is right, it
could pass any rejected item over
the Presidents veto.
Two item-veto bills have been
introduced by Mr.. Keating. One
would simply amend the law to
provide that for the purpose of
the Executive veto, each separate
item appropriating money shall be
considered bill within the mean
ing of the Constitution. The other
bill would provide for constitu-
tional amendment doing the same
thing.
There is a difference of opinion
over which approach would be prop
er. Mr. Keating is ready to go ahead
with either.
Observers aren't putting much
money on his chances of seeing a.
green light, however.

time, but Congress has resisted these
for years.
The Rogers bill is now in the
House Rules Committee. Chairman
Allen has indicated he likes the bill,
but he has not yet scheduled hear
ing. If finally approved, the meas
ure would affect only the House, but
Mr.. Rogers feels the Senate would
probably follow suit.
The Item Veto
The Keating proposal also is an
old one. Every President for the
last so years, Mr.. Keating says, has
wanted the item veto power.
Under existing law, the President
must approve or veto an entire bill.
Some bills contain sections the
President may think unwiSe. But
he must take the whole bill or moth
ing.
This is an aid to two Congress
sional bugaboos: Log-rolling and
riders. After a number of votes
for pet projects are traded, a bill
frequently will contain non-essen-
tial appropriations. Mr.. Keating
believes the President should be
allowed to lop off the deadwood.

Some of these boys have reading

trade could boy pick up in three

There is, of course. the basic prob
lem of giving the boy a different

tudes into socially acceptable mold.
AS any parent can testify. this is no
overnight job.

Mr.. Rogers says that record votes

believes.

water and sewage system and en-
trance road instead of two of all of
them.
Also financially, costs will be less
for personnel to run the heating
plant, teach, cook, administer and
guard in the combined facility.
The proposed institution will ac-
commodate 800 boys and 200 girls
housed as far apart as the heating
lines will allow. They will live in
simple, one-story cottages with both
dormitory and individual rooms. One
such building is illustrated on this
page. Not only will supervision be
easier but-more important-the liv-
ing units will be small enough to
segregate the children by age and
behavior.
The first move toward the COM
bined operation was taken last
month when the National Training
School for Girls was abolished and
the girls were moved to Blue Plains
to take over two cottages used by
the younger boys. These boys were
shifted to the Junior Village (for
homeless, dependent youngsters), 4,
which took over the entire Lough-
boro road reservation, good build

mittedly stop-gap, but one consid-
cred necessary to halt the alarums
and excursions of the unruly girls
who couldn't make a go of it in their
old setting.

900 to draw plans for new train
ing school for girls at the Chill
dren's Center in Laurel, Md.
The Children's Center, vast
country tract owned by the District,
already is the site of the District
Training School (for mentally re-
tarded children) and the Industrial
Home School for White Children.
The latter institution is now under
construction to replace the aged
home for the children on Wisconsin
avenue.
Illusions Plan
. Then, last August, the Board Of
Public Welfare, with one eye on
economy and the other on the well
fare of its young charges, adopted a
plan first conceived by the Districts
director of construction, Archie Hut
son. The plan would combine the
facilities for colored girls and those
for colored boys in one institution
at the Children's Center. Welfare,
budget and construction officials
agreed the combined institution
would:
/. Save SIG million in construc-
ton costs alone.
2. Speed up the welfare building
program by at least two years.
3. Save substantial amounts an
nually in maintenance costs.
4. Solve one of the city's most
pressing problems-the elimination
of the old and dangerous structures
housing many of the city's child
wards.
5. Approximate more closely
normal home, school and commu-
nifty life, since eventual freedom Is
the goal of the schools.
6. Provide opportunity for the de-
velopment of more encompaSslng
social and recreational program
which, in turn. will create more OF
an incentive to good behavior.

before the 81st. 82d and now the
83d Congresses. In a poll OF his
own constituents, the idea was in
dorsed almost unanimously. News
papers all over the Nation have
written favorable editorials. Forty
State Legislatures already have such
a rule. Many Congressman have
Endorsed it enthusiastically. Almost
no opposition has been voiced.
Yet in three Congresses the bill
has never so much as cleared a
committee. The objections-seldom
voiced-are principally these: Many
Congressmen do not want to go on
record each time they take stand
on some phase of an appropriation
bill. No matter which way they
vote, they will offend some group OF
constituents. Better to keep as much
as possible off the record.
Time Factor
Also, the Rogers proposal would
be time consuming. Congress has
trouble now completing its allotted
work in a session of reasonable
length. Roll calls usually take up
more than a half hour in the House.
That is a lot of time when all the
amendments are added up. Elec-
trical voting machines would save

ings by throwing their support be-
hind plans for an eight-year welfare
building program. They have asked
for funds in the 1854 District budget
to start building a new Industrial
Home School for Colored Children
at Laurel. The total cost would be
$3.7 million Of which 81 million
would become available in July.
Congressional approval of this
budget would mean:
The solution to the Districts long
unmet problem of rehabilitating de-
linquent colored girls.
. The solution to the problem of
the premature release of colored
boys, because at the new and larger
institution there would be enough
room to keep them until they were
ready to return to the community.
. The final elimination of the aged
buildings on Loughboro road as a
home for any of the Districts child
wards, because the Junior Village
would move to Blue Plains once it
was vacated by the Industrial H0me
School for Colored Children.
357 Spaces Needed
Right now, 357 teen-age colored
children should be in the Industrial
Home School for Colored Children.
This includes the so his boys housed
temporarily at the Junior Village:
the 124 boys and Is girls now in the
school; 33 boys and girls farmed out
to private institutions; 1877 District
colored boys now under commitment
at the National Training School for
Boys, of whom at least 100 would be
in the school if it were in the Chill
dren'S Center, and 80 girls now at
large in the community only because
there is no adequate space for them
at Blue Plains.
The welfare board planned for
a new 50O-child institution after a
District population study showed
that the number of colored children
In the 13-17-year age group is ex-
pected to increase from 10000 this
year to $4,000 in 1868. The board
felt it was only reasonable to expect
that rs per cent increase in the
total number of children in this
industrial home school age group"
would bring substantial increase
in the numbers likely to be COM
mitted to the school. That, it was
felt, would be true even if one
ignored the rising curve of Juvenile
crime in the District.
At the Crossroads
And that curve cannot be ignored.
Until a method is found to curb
juvenile crime, some children are
going to need care in an institu-
ton. 1t should be the kind of care
that will set these youngsters
straight. In the institution, they
stand at the crossroads. When they
get out, they're either going back
to school or start earning living
or they are going to progress from
petty crime to the big-time.
The Board of Public Welfare, the
Commissioners, the community lead
ers who have spent three years
studying this problem believe the
only solution is a new institution,
built to meet the needs of these
children and the community, at the
Children's Center.
Hearings on the District appropri-
alton bill start Tuesday.

Agreement
U.S. Is Biggest Bidder, Surest Loser
In World Betting on Price Of Grain
By james {. Roper

Nations of the free world are
quietly making multi-million-d dollar
wagers on the price of wheat. The
United States Government is the
biggest bettor-and sure loser.
Most of the global gambling will
go through the International Wheat
Agreement. Great Britain, however.
is staying out of the pact. This in
itself is gamble.
A four-year international wheat
agreement expires June 80. The
next day new, three-year agree
ment goes into force. The aim is
to moderate fluctuations in the
world price of wheat. Traditionally,
wheat prices bob up and down more
than prices on any commodity ex-
cept sugar.
Government economists thought
up the idea for the wheat agree
ment-a kind of cartel-during the
depression. BY 1949 the first pact
was signed. Joining were As coun-
tries. Forty-tWo were classified as
wheat-importing countries. There
were four wheat exporters-the
United States, Canada, Australia
and France.
Terms Of Agreement
Under the pact, each exporting
nation promised to sell a certain
amount of wheat at not more than
$1.80 per buShel. CThiS was intend
ed to protect importing nations if
wheat prices went sky-highD
In return. the importing nations
promised to buy, if the exporting
nations so requested, an equal
amount of wheat at $1.20 per bushel.
(This was intended to assure the
exporting nations some sort of for
eign market at minimum priceS.)
It was a good theory. But it
never got a test. The Korean war
promptly sent the price of wheat
soaring.
During the four years of the pact,
the world price Of wheat has aver
aged 62 cents per bushel above the
$1.80 at which the United States
agreed to SELL So for four years,
the United States has bought wheat
from the American farmer at the
high price and. sold it at the lower
price-at a total loss of about $3.50
million.
The importing nations thought
the International Wheat Agreement
was about the most wonderous thing
that ever hit the grain marts. The
United States counted its losses as
part of the global give-away.
This spring. the pact nations sat
down in Washington to write an
other treaty. Ten weeks of wran-
Cling followed.
Uncle Sam didn't insist on an
even-money gamble. All the United
States wanted was a chance to cut
it's losses. So the United States in
sisted that the top sales price in the
new agreement be higher-much
kigher-than previously. The i'm
porting nations-the buyers-nat-
urally preferred the old, lower prices.
A majority finally agreed: The ex-
porting nations such as the United
States would sell for not more than
$2.05 per bushel if the importing
