GSA Hopes Bids Will Show
Cheaper Way to Get Cleaner

The Federal Government
hopes to find out Wednesday
whether a janitor in private
industry can WELD a mop
cheaper than one employed by
the Government.
E. F. Mansure, administrator
of General Services Administra-
ton, the Governments house
keeping branch, some time ago
decided to call the hand of GER
tain private firms in the clean
ing business.
When GSA was appearing be-
fore Congress for its appropria-
tons, these firms said that they
could clean Government build
ings cheaper than the Govern
ment is doing it. They con-
tended all such housekeeping
should be given to private firms
under contract.
Mr.. Mansure decided to find
out.
AS a test, he asked for bids
from private firms on cleaning
the South Agriculture Building
here and the Veterans Admins
tration building in New York for
a year. These bids will be
opened Wednesday.
At this point, GSA isn't even
sure it has bids on the two jobs.
Several bid openings are

A fantastic mixup over a SITS
antique table resulted today in
a court battle-royal which ex-
ploded into a $750,000 false ar
rest suit.
Named as defendants in the
damage suit were Wilbert B.
dublin and his wife Jacqueline of
$40 Connecticut avenue NV.
Named as plaintiffs were Benja-
min Dublin and his wife Clara of
4201 Massachusetts, avenue NV.
The similarity in names caused
the trouble, starting about 10
days ago when Mr.. Dublin was
notified there was package for
him. would he leave $40 at the
Office of the Berkshire Apart
ments, where he lived.
Mrs. Dublin was in a hospital
and Mr.. Dublin assumed it WITS
something she ordered. So he
left the money. Meanwhile, Mrs.
Dublin returned from the hos
pital after a minor operation
and Mr.. Dublin was admitted for
an operation of his own.
Crate Is Delivered.
A crate came to the Berkshire
Apartments and it was delivered
to Mrs. Dublin. She found the
table, puzzled over it, and de-
cided it must be a gift from
some one who neglected to in
clude a card.
Then about 80 am. last Sat-
urday, according to Attorney
Nathan M. Lubar, some one
called at the Dublin home inquir-
ing about the table. Mrs. Dublin
didn't let them in; said to come
around the next morning before
she went to work.
! Nobody came; instead there
came a warrant charging Mr.
and Mrs. Dublin with grand
larceny. Mrs. Dublin put UP

Table Mixup Leads DuBins
ToSue Dubins for $4,000

$1,000 bond; Mr.. Dublin heard
about it at the hospital and was
technically served.
Bought in New Orleans.
The scene shifted this morning
to the Office of Assistant United
States Attorney Kenneth Wood.
He heard the Dubins and the
DuBins and learned something
about what led to all the con-
fusion.
Seems the DubinS were in New
Orleans some time ago, liked the
table and bought it. They had
it packed for overseas shipment
and sent it to a friend, not
named Dublin or Dublin, to the
Berkshire Apartments. An en-
ploye, seeing the name Dublin on
the crate, diverted it to the
DuBinS.
Mr.. Wood thought he had
heard enough and ordered the
grand larceny papers nolle
pressed.
But as the DubinS and DuBins
left the hearing, the Dubins got
a surprise. 1t was the process
for the $750,O0O damage suit
filed by Attorney B. M. Landes-
men, associate of Mr.. Lubar.
Second Suit Filed.
It charged the Dubins with
false arrest, SANDER, libel, abuse
of process and deprivation of
civil rights.
Meanwhile, another suit
cropped up in Small Claims
Court. The Dubins had sued
the DuBins for the $50 they
spent on packing the table fol-
overseas shipment.
The table? The police got il
with permission of the DuBins
to turn it over to the Dubins
For such an old thing, it had
caused a lot of trouble.

Judge CockriII Urges
Juvenile Delinquency
Plan for First Grade

Adoption in the public schools
of a juvenile delinquency pre-
vention program beginning with
f1rst-grade students was urged
yesterday by Juvenile Court
Judge Edith H. Cockrill.
Speaking at a round-tabl dis
cussion sponsored by the Junior
Bar Association. Judge Cockrill
said she felt such guidance
should begin as early as possible
eve need to begin earlier, "
Judge Cockrill said, because the
age of delinQuents coming before
me has dropped until at present
one-half of those appearing be-
fore me are Is years old or
younger
In past years, the judge pointed
out, the majority of youngsters
hauled into Juvenile Court were
approximately 16 years old.
Opposed by School Official.
The Juvenile Court Judge was
opposed in her views by Miss
Katherine Scrivener, director Of
supervision and curriculum of
the District of Columbia public
schools
Miss Scrivener said she felt
the introduction of a counselor
in the elementary schools would
be a mistake She contended
the grade school teacher is closer
to her pupils than an outside
counselor would lie She said
she believed the teacher, be-
cause of the close relationship
in the younger grades, could be
of more help in molding the
child.
However. Miss Scrivener did
concede that in some cases
classes are so large it is diff
cult for teachers to give indi-
vidual attention where needed.
Home Is Primary Place.
Under the current setup in
the schools system, student
counselors are employed only in
the junior and senior high
schools.
In urging an earlier start
toward control of the ever-in-
creasing juvenile problem, Judge
Cockrill stressed that the 'pri-
mary place to begin is in the
home >
She said, however, that she is
opposed to any law which advo-

Head ofMarineU Union
Indicted in Denying
Any Link With Reds

Hugh Bryson, president of the
National Union of Marine Cooks
and Stewards, today was in
dicted on charges of falsely
stating that he was not a mem
Der of the Communist Party nor
ever affiliated with the party.
The indictment was returned
before Judge Edward A. Tamm
in the United States District
Court for the District of Co.
lumbia. It contains three counts.
They are that Bryson falsely
stated in an affidavit to the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board:
l. That he was never a mem
Der of the Communist Party.
2. That he was never affiliated
with the party.
3. That he was never a men,
Der of, nor affiliated with, any
organization advocating tn e
overthrow of the Government by
force or by any other unconsti-
tutional means.
Indicted on West Coast.
Bryson had been indicted in
California on similar charges
stemming from the mailing of an
affidavit from that State to the
NLRB. That indictment will be
dismissed because the Third Cir
cult Court of Appeals in a SINH
lar case held that such an indict-
ment could only be returned in
the jurisdiction where the af6-
davit was physically filed.
The offenseS charged in the
present indictment were alleged
to have occurred April 26, 1851.
Under terms of the Taft-Hartley
law, union officers. in order to
use the facilities of the NLRB,
must file with the board non
Com unist affidavits. The
charges in the Indictment carry
maximum penalties of five years
imprisonment and a $4,000 fine
on each count.
Union Expelled.
Bryson's union was expelled
from the Go in 1850 on charges
that it was Communist domi-
mated. The union claims 5000
members, most of them situated
on the West Coast, although
units of the union are estab-
lished in Baltimore and New
York, the Justice Department
said.
The case was presented to the
grand jury by Brandon Alvey,
special assistant to the Attorney
General, and Edward P. Trox-
ell, an assistant United States
attorney.

that the subcommittee investi-
cation is aimed at making a
full and complete study of,
juvenile delinquency in the
United States" The subcom-
mlttee, he said, will be calling
on many national agencies for
data and assistance and will
hold hearings in a number of
communities.
The letter went on to say that
members of the subcommittee
feel that it is equally important
to get advice and guidance from
State and local agencies.
The Senator said that he is
asking leading educators, Judges
and officials of mental hygiene.
welfare and law enforcement
agencies in each State for their
advice.
Cannot Do Research.
Senator Hendrickson declared
that his subcommittee cannot
carry out research to add to
knowledge in the field of juvenile
crime. He said, however. that
his group hopes "to make sub
Stantial contributions by pub
lIcizing the best available knowI-
edge as to prevention and treat
ment of delinquency"
