City
To Combat
Wild Youth
Delinquency Rate
High in Rockville,
Council is Told

Sky-high juvenile delinquency
in Rockville this week led new
Nvic group to ask the Mayor and
Council to take the lead in fight
ing it.
Juvenile Court Judge Alfred
Noyes has reported that Rock
vile, with some eight per cent of
the County's population, has
about IS per cent of the delin-
quency rate.
Mayor Dickran Hovsepian said
the city's youth activities commit
tee already had been asked to ex-
plore the problem.
Mrs. Lila Thomson, spokesman
for the Rockville Citizens COM
rnittee, quoted these figures in
asking the Council for action:
Last year, the County Seat had
100 cases of juvenile delinquency,
60 cases of juveniles involved in
traffic violations, and 1913 de-
tendency and neglect cases.
In contrast, she said, Bethesda
had 135 delinquency cases, 80
traffic and ii dependency, and
the situation was similar in Silv-
er Spring.
She suggested the youth activi-
,ty committee look into Judge
Moves suggestion that Rockville
might pattern a playground and
recreation setup after that of
frederick, where delinquency has
been almost obliterated.

Transit COmmish
Proposed by Hyde
.OK'd by Council

4 The County Council Tuesday
gave a speedy vote of confidence
to Rep. Dewitt S. Hyde's (R-Md)
bill to set up a metropolitan area
transit commission.
The Council also endorsed pro,
posed federal legislation which
would provide funds for a Wash,
ington metropolitan area traffic
survey.
Both actions came at the
prompting of Frederick Gutheim
Montgomery County representa-
tive to the National Capital Reg
ional Planning Council who doub-
les as member of the Upper
Montgomery County Planning
Commission.
Gutheim cited press reports
that the Atomic Energy Commits
sion may decide to set up an of
lice building center IN the upper
county and called on the Council
to fac, prospects of area-wide dis
persal of federal installations.
The planner urged that the
UMCPC be given liaeon role
between the county and federal
agencies closest to dispersal
plans.
He proposed an immediate
study of the new Federal Leaese
PURCHASE Act to determine how
'i1ncn jurisdiction the county will
have over plants to be operated
here on a lease basis by the
United States Government.

Mundt Predicts New
90 Pei. Parity Effort

Senator Mundt, Republican of
South Dakota said today an eff
fort will be made at the next
session OF Congress to restore
price supports on five basic crops
to 80 per cent Of parity.
He was one Of the leaders in
the losing fight to continue high
supports. The Senate approved
a House-pasSed bill which will
put into effect next year a f1exi-
BILE. support level ranging from
82ha to 80 per cent for corn,
wheat, rice, peanuts and cotton.
President Eisenhower recon-
mended flexible supports and is
expected to sign the new farm
bill.
A program also will be sought,
Senator Mundt said, for stabiliz-
ing and supporting more ade-
Quately the farm products not
included among the basic crops.
He commented that propo-
nentS of both theories Of price
support contend they desire full
parity for the farmer, but that
they differ sharply on the
! method.
