Representative Broyhill, Re-
publican, of Virginia, yesterday
called Washington one of the
most crime ridden cities in the
United States and called for an
other Congressional investiga-
tion of crime here.
He announced he will intro
duce a resolution when Congress
convenes in January calling for
a sweeping investigation of law
enforcement and all related
agencies. He apparently is dis
satisfied with the results of the
two crime inquiries in recent
years made by the House and
Senate District Committees.
Speaking to the Political Study
Club of Washington, meeting in
the Willard Hotel, he criticized
the District courts for light SEN
tenceS. He said the parole Sys-
tenn was sloppy and the treat
ment of juvenile delinquents too
soft.
Our laws governing the han
ding of juveniles must be
strengthened and made more Sc
vere." he declared.
! Mr.. Broyhill said he felt the
District needed a law similar
to that in New York where a
person committing three serious
crimes faced life Imprisonment
He added:
Its high time we stopped
coddling criminals. Washington
must once again become a city
where people can go about then
business without fear of rape
robbery and murder"
Mr.. Broyhill described the Ma
tion's Capital as a city where
women and children are afraid
to walk after sundown and, in
some sections, afraid to walk
in daylight. He charged that
the administration of justice
here was only of the "tap-on-
the-wrist" variety.
Even judges have told me
that the judges in the District
are too light on criminals" Mr..
Broyhill declared. 1T may be
necessary for Congress to spell
out the sentences for crimes
and take the discretion away
from the judges"
If Mr.. Broyhill's resolution
calling for a law-enforcement
probe is passed, it will be the
third once in the District since
1949.
The House District Committee
staged a crime investigation in
1850. The result was an omni-
bus crime bill, including manda-
tory minimum sentences for
many crimes. The House passed
the bill. The Senate held up
action. however, until the Sen
ate District Committee held its
own crime probe.
Concerning the Districts pa
role system, Mr.. Broyhill charged
the Parole Board was operating
sloppily and haphazardly. He

those who will believe the
Democrats are mixed up in a
scandal. But I believe more will
suspect the Republicans are be-
hind it."
A harried worker at Demo-
cratic headquarters in a Rich
mond hotel told reporters the
day after the indictments:
"This is awful. There were
those who voted last year to get
rid of the mess in Washington
and now they're going to think
we've got a mess right here in
Virginia"
They Were Boiling Mad
Another Stanley supporter in
Richmond said there were 300
visitors and telephone calls at
headquarters the day after the
indictments came down.
"They were boiling mad" he
said of the callers. "a lot OF
them who weren't going to vote
are going to turn out in force
now"
A similar reaction came from
member of the Richmond West
End Catholic Mems Club.
"Of course, we're predomi-
antly Democratic" he said
"but a lot of them just weren't
interested in this election. They
didn't particularly care for the
type of campaign Mr.. Stanley
has been carrying on. But in Is
years as a club member, I've
never heard so much cuSsin' OF
Republicans as I heard last
night"
That meeting was Thursday
night, about "a hours after the
grand jury report.
Republican leaders have been
more quiet. Disclaiming any
connection with the incident,
they know that if they say much
about the case. the Democrats
will say this proves they were
! behind the scheme. And if they
don't say anything, the seeds
planted by the Democrats may
grow unchecked.

Parents Form Group to Guide
Boys in High School Fraternity

taken up at a Joint meeting of
the boys and the advisers today.
The District public school Sys-
tenn maintains no supervision
over fraternities. They are not
officially recognized and are not
allowed to meet in schools. A
committee of principals cur
rently is considering possible
ways of dealing with undesirable
out-of school fraternity conduct,
but school officials have admitted
they are practically powerless.
In last springs stag party raid
at a Connecticut avenue dance
studio, police arrived just before
the showing of an obscene movie.
They said they also found drink
ing and gambling. Nearly 200
youths-and several adults
were in the studio, and police
said Sigma Phi members helped
promote the event.
In the recent outdoor initia-
ton, in Wheaton, Md, police
found fraternity pledges running
around naked except for molasses
and feathers
Says Boys Are Not Bad.
II was sore as a boil when I
read the headline about the
stag" said Mr.. Mailer, a Boy
Scout councilman and eX-Scout-
master. His son was there, he
added.
Il don't think these kids are
bad" the council chairman told
The Star. He added that he
doesn't believe Sigma Phi's ac-
tivities have been any more OBJ
jectionable than those of other
high school fraternities.
Our boys were unlucky," he
declared. "They were caught" )"
But, he added, Eve don't want
them to do anything which will
cause them to become delin-
quent."
Group May Affiliate.
Besides enforcing the proposed
new rules, the new council al
ready has heard suggestions for
affiliating the fraternity with a
religious institution and trying
to promote better school work
by offering scholarship prizes.
Mr.. Mailer informed parents
last week that they will be called
together if the fraternity fails
to accept the full supervisory
plan. In such a case the par
ents will discuss possible with
drawal of their boys from the
fraternity, he said.
A few boys resigned after the
recent incidents, he said. The
fraternity now has an active
membership of about so, he
added.
Cedric o. Reynolds, principal
at Coolidge, said the new plan,
if the parents follow it through,
will be "one of the most pro-
gressive and constructive steps
yet evolved"

Juvenile Delinquency
Continues 10 Climb
AT Disturbing Rate

Juvenile delinquency cases
across the nation have con-
tlnued to climb at a disturbing
rate, DR.. Martha M. Eliot, chief
of the children's bureau of the
Department of Health, Educa-
ton and Welfare, said yester-
day.
DR.. Eliot released statistics
covering 1852 that showed 10
per cent more delinquent chill
dren had been before courts
than in the previous year. The
number was % per cent above
1948.
This disturbing situation calls
for some deep thinking on the
part of citizens in big and small
communities across the land" !"
she declared.
Hearings Next Month.
DR.. Eliot estimated that 1885,
900 youngsters-or one in every
SO from the ages 10 to 17-were
referred to courts last year. The
figures were compiled for 342
courts across the nation that
report to the children's bureau
to establish trends.
She called attention to the
fact that a juvenile subcommit-
tee of the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee would be pointing up the
problem in public hearings in
the near future. The first hear
ings are expected to start in
Washington sometime next
month.
DR.. Eliot commented:
Agencies which are trying to
stem this rising tide need help
and public understanding if the
services they provide are to be
expanded to meet the expanding
need.
Many Shortages Exist.
Shortages in child welfare
workers and in probation officers,
overworked juvenile courts, un-
derstaffed juvenile police units,
overcrowded training schools for
delinquent children, or training
schools that don't have the staff
to do a good job with the chill
dren who have been committed
to them, are conditions which
won't be improved by chance.
Public and voluntary agencies
which are trying to cope with
this problem need renewed citi-
zen interest and citizen partici-
patton in finding out what can
be done to help keep our Nations
children out of trouble and on
their way toward useful lives"

Good ExGmpIe Called Way
To Combat Delinquency

Adults may best combat jul
venile delinquency by setting a
good example for youth. Federal
Judge Edward M. Curran told a
Catholic group yesterday.
The jurist spoke at the 28th
annual conference of the District
chapter, International Fedora
ton of Catholic Alumnae, at the
Willard Hotel.
II don't agree with some who
say that poverty and the poor
are causes of juvenile delin-
quency," Judge Curran declared.
He said the ideals and diSci-
pline of an enlightened home life
are of prime Importance in the
spiritual and moral development
of young people.
Another speaker, the Most Rev.
Patrick A. O'Boyle, Archbishop
Of Washington. lauded Catholic
nuns and priests for sacrifices
made in furthering Catholic
education.
He outlined the growth of
Catholic schools in this country
during the last century, cited
the millions of pupils taught and
declared that without the sac
rifices of nuns and priests the
financial deficit would be so
tremendous that we would be in
the hands of the sheriff"

Board Defends
Racial Policy
AtMeetings
Arlington Follows
Common Practice
School Officials Say

The Arlington School Board,
in a joint statement issued by its
five members yesterday, declared
it is grateful for the grand iury's
vindication of School Board
members in two of the three
charges brought by John Locke
Green.
The grand Jurors who reported
Friday on the malfeaSance
charges declared that allegations
that the board permitted inde-
cent biology films in county
schools and mismanagedi funds
were not SubStantiated.
The jury, however, after re-
viewing Mr.. Green's contention
that State segregation laws had
been violated, cited four in
stances of co-mingling of white
and colored persons at school
functions and asked the court
to consider" them.
Refers to Finding.
In apparent reference to this
finding, the School Board state
ment said:
"The board has always Scrup-
ulously followed the segregation
laws of Virginia in the teaching
of white and Negro pupils.
with respect to meetings of
white and Negro teachers and
co-mingling in public assemblies.
the board has followed the prac-
tice of the State Board of Edu-
cation and common practice
throughout Virginia. We wish
at all times to abide by the law
and will be glad to receive clari-
f1cation on the subject"
Tomorrow, on the courts in
structionS, Commemorative At
torney William j. Hassan will
file a motion asking the court for
a show-cause order. The School
Board will have an opportunity
to argue on the motion. If, how
ever, a court order is issued, the
board would be obliged to show
cause why it's members should
not be fired.
Board Clerk Dismissed.
In another development yes
terday, Supt. T. Edward Rutter
dismissed a School Board clerk
named in an additional report
from the grand jury.
The jury reported it heard
testimony that John r. Hamp-
ton, a subcontractor, loaned $3.50
to Richard Muller, who is "clerk
Of the works" in the school sys-
TENS building program.
The announcement of Mr..
Muller's dismissal added that
Supt. Rutter was surprised and
shocked by the grand jury reve-
lation. The jury report on the
loan matter had concluded that
it should receive administrative
action"
The School Board also an
nounced yesterday that films re-
ferred to in Mr.. Green's COM
plant have been labeled proper"
by the Arlington Medical So
ciety.
Announcement Delayed.
The medical group gave its
stamp of approval to the films
Human Growth" and Human
Reproduction" last Thursday, ac-
cording to the School Board.

approval twas delayed" pending

Hospital Code
Proposed for
Care Of Babies
Public Hearing Set
| AS District Acts
| After 45-Yeur Luq


After a 45-year time lag, the
District finally is coming up with
regulations for the supervision
Of maternity and newborn care
in it's private and public hos
pitals.
A public hearing has been set
for the proposed new code
November 16.
The provisions. detailed and
stringent, are drawn under
authority of the Hospital
Licensing Act of 1908. That act
authorized the District Com
missioners to establish and en-
force rules governing the opera
ton of hospitals. But the regu-
lations adopted by the city
heads were of a general nature.
Nothing specifically pertaining
to the hospital care of mothers
and their infants was included.
Old Code "Antiquated."
In that respect, at least the
old code is "antiquated," accord
ing to one public health official.
It's outdatedness became glar-
ing during the 1930s when sew
eral serious outbreaks of epi-
demic diarrhea in hospitals led
to the death of many infants. In
the next decade, figures released
by Health Director Daniel L.
Seckinger show, the same disease
struck So newborn children, kill
ing ten, in 1910: 80 cases, with
SO dead, in 1941, and 13O cases,
with 81 dead, in 1912.
AS the hospitals, prodded by
health officials, took corrective
measures in the ensuing years,
the last major outbreak of in
FAINT diarrhea occurred in 1916,
with 60 cases and % deaths
recorded.
Diarrhea Not Only Threat.
According to DR.. Samuel
Schwartz, attending physician of
the Health Department bureau
of maternal and child welfare,
diarrhea is not the only threat
to the maternity and newborn
Care departments of the city's
IL major hospitals. AS recently
as last year, one hospital had an
outbreak of impetigo-a skin
dlseaSe-among it's newborn in
fants. Six months elapsed before
this epidemic was cleared up.
The new regulations, DR..
Schwartz said, are aimed at
preventing such occurrences.
While the code is exhaustive in
its coverage of sanitation and
space precautions, the medical
officer foreseeS that only two
provisions may work any real
hardship on any hospital.
One is the requirement that
not more than IL bassinets per
hospital nursery be allowed The
other specifies that one water
closet shall be provided for every
ten beds.
Difficulty for 4 Hospitals.
DR.. Shwartz said that even as
far as these requirements are
concerned only about four of
the city's older hospitals should
have any difficulty to comply.
And to ease their plight pro-
visional one-year permits prob
ably would be issued. Regular
permits for maternity and new
born care departments also
would be issued on a one-year
basis.
Emphasis of the proposed new
regulations is placed on separa-
ton of the special unit from
other hospital activities, isola-
ton of sick or suspect babies,
careful supervision, thorough
going sanitary methods of ham
ding food and equipment, ade-
quate space and equipment per
patient and prompt notification
of health authorities in the event
infectious disease outbreaks.

ment last Tuesday. The state At
torney Generals office admitted,
when questioned by the court, that
it had no constructive evidence that
the convicted man had committed
crime.
Ingram was convicted in Novem-
Der of 1852 and given six months
for assault by leering" at young
woman from distance Of rs feet.
Suspended Sentence
The six-month's sentence was
suspended, but he was put on a 5
year probation and ordered to re-
port to the court every November
and produce three character wit
nesses to "substantiate his good
behavior"
Immediately following the con-
viction, NAACP attorneys filed
an appeal with the State Supreme
Court on the grounds that the con-
viction violated both the state and
federal constitutions. The systema-
tic exclusion of Negroes from the
jury and the vagueness Of the
statute under which Mack Ingram
was convicted were also attacked.
Appearing before the high court,
the prosecuting attorney, did not
argue too strongly against any of
the points raised by defense lawy-
ers. He did say he thought there
might be sufficient evidence for
the court to examine.
Up To Court
However, he told the court the
decision was left entirely up to
the states high judiciary.
Should the court hand down a
decision on the conviction, it is felt
that the lower courts decision will
be reversed and the case thrown
out. But should the ruling be made
only on the jury issue, then there
might be a new trial ordered.
However, it is believed that even
if a new trial is ordered the low
er court might see fit not to- try
the case again.
