er-Schoo| Sports
Urged in Delinquency

The Georgetown Citizens Asso-
citation last night heard organized
school athletics proposed as a
measure in the fight against
juvenile delinquency.
Mrs. Archibald King, chairman
of the associations schools COM
mittee, said the public schools
could take a lesson from the
practice in private schools. She
said many Of the private schools
keep pupils on their grounds
until 5 pm. every day for group
athletics programs.
Mrs. King said such a policy
would eliminate much of the
temptation for delinquency" es-
pecially among junior high
students, by occupying the young
people between the time when
classes end and parents return
home from work. Recreation
Department activities do not do
the job, she added, because they
are voluntary.
The association also COM
mended the action of Seventh
Precinct Police Pvt. Roy Lamar,
who last Thursday night followed
a hunch to apprehend a suspect
in the beating of a woman at
torney a few hours after it
happened. The woman, Miss
Elizabeth Young, is a member
of the association.

formance, of Franck, but to my
ear it has none Of the chromati-
cism and changing key centers
of that composer. It seems to
me a work that gives the i'm
preston of barking back to
earlier forms and ideals without
suggesting any prototype. and
without causing the feeling that
all this has been done better by
someone else.
The symphony is in three
movements, the first and last

sign. The piano throughout is

stitute for woodwinds and brass,

effective solo passages. Per-
haps the work would be i'm

large orchestra, but the piece is
so good as it stands that the
suggestion is made with some
difndence.
The composer teaches compo-
sition at Princeton, Curtis Insti-
tute, and elsewhere. He was
present last night to .acknowl-
edge warm applause.
Mr.. Olefsky is a young con-
ductor of no little talent. He
has an incisive beat, maintains

cellist, he was Joined by Daniel
Majeske and George Silfies in
the Ravel trio in an entirely
satisfying performance of that
eccentric work.
The string chamber orchestra,
recruited largely from the Navy
Orchestra, opened the program
with the Corelli Christmas Con-
certo." The string ensemble was
noticeably inferior in this piece
to that attained in the SYM
phony. A reasonable guess would
be that the rigors of the difficult
new work swallowed up most of
the rehearsal time. and to that
guess a reasonable rejoinder
would be that imperfections are
more conspicuous in a familiar
work than in a new one.
All in all, a very pleasant eve

The turtle is considered a

head was missing.
He said the turtle is the tes-

found on the Galapagos Islands

The giant shell, measures more
than feet in length and
is approximately 2-feet thick.

House Probers End
Kansas City Inquiry

KANSAS CITY, July "A
special congressional investigat-
ing subcommittee ended a five
day investigation of Kansas City
area labor troubles yesterday.
Three members of the group
urged that a Federal grand jury
be called to deal with what they
termed gangsterism in the labor
situation here.
"A strike has halted virtually
all construction and building
work in this area for six weeks.
The three calling for action by
a grand jury were Representa-
tives Wint Smith of Kansas,
subcommittee chairman: Hoff-
man Of Michigan and Hillelson
Of Missouri, all Republicans.
Mr.. Smith said, 1.-THE evidence
clearly shows labor laws have
been flagrantly and boldly vio-
lated with utter contempt for the
general public interest" He said
the disputes have curtailed vital
defense projects.
Kenneth West, assistant United
States district attorney. said a
special Federal grand jury will
be called if a current investiga-
ton by the FBI produces enough

Battle Fund Money
To Build Schools

BY it's action, the county board
enabled school heads to apply
Immediately for $394,552 already
allocated by the Battle fund for
school construction in the
county.
The school board, which sud-
denly found itself without
operating funds when the sale
of $2.8 million in school bonds
was prevented this week, has
construction bills totalling more
than 100000 for which pay
ment is due July 10.
The bond sale was blocked by
renewed litigation over the right
of three Federal employees to
serve on the school board.
Arlington Attorney John Locke
Green's suit challenging the
right of the three board members
to serve was decided by the
Virginia Supreme Court on June
in favor of the board members.
This reversed a decision Of the
Arlington Circuit Court.
Mr.. Green, however. has filed
a petition with the Supreme
Court to re-hear his suit. School
bond purchasers have advised
the school board they cannot
terminate the sale while litiga-
ton against the board or q part
thereof is pending.
The county board, in other
business, awarded a street re-
treatment contract of $206,47
to the Arlington Asphalt Co., the
lowest of three bidders. The
contract is for work during fiscal
1858 on approximately 100 miles

Bering Sea Search :
For II Flyers Pushed

Coast Guard cutters combed the
fog-shrouded Bering Sea, 1000
miles southwest of here today. as
hope faded for IL men missing
since their Navy patrol plane
was forced down by engine
trouble Thursday.
Surface craft yesterday re-
covered the body of Gordon E

from the water near the crash
scene. 80 miles northeast of
Adak. in the Aleutian Islands.
Mr.. Walker was te 18th man
aboard the Inflated Martin Ma.
riner.
The Navy held little hope that
the others would be found
alive but said a thread of chance
remained that the men might
have taken to rubber boats and
are drifting in the area.
The plane was last heard from
at $50 am. Thursday when Lit.
Comdr. Donald w. McMeekin,
commander of the two-engine
plane radioed he was attempting
an open-sea landing. He said
one engine was smoking.
