In accordance with custom the
reports of the evaluation were
made on a confidential basis. It
was further announced that in
accordance with established
policy as carried out in all &C
creditation examinations, a re-
evaluation, in two years, would
be made of areas where improve
ments had ben suggested.
The results of the accredit-
alton examination continued the
Medical School as accredited.
This fact was officially published
in September II, 1854 issue Of
the Journal of the American
Medical Association. When the
re-examination is made during
1886, the status of the Medi-
cal School will again be evaluated
in accordance with standards
at that time. These facts are
readily obtainable from the
American Medical Association
and the Association of Medical
Colleges.
Most of the reported weak
nesses are being corrected by
administrative action but in two
areas-particulaly, the library
and Medical School-additional

G.. ID. Behrens.

Applications for public assist
ance here in September contin-
ued their steady climb for a
total of LIB, Welfare Director
Gerard M. Shea reported yester-
day to the Welfare Advisory
Council.
The August total was 1866.
Last March, 1854 applications
were filed.
Lacking figures for September
on the number of cases on the
relief rolls, Mr.. Shea reported
the latest available. those for
August, total of 8,197 involving
1869 individuals. This COM
pares with 1882 cases involving
1876 individuals for August,
1858.
In one of the relief categories,
aid to the disabled, the number
of cases has risen from TAI in
1850 to 2,037 as of last August.
Children on Waiting List.
Nearly $50 feeble-minded chill
dren are still on the waiting list
for admission to the District
Training School at Laurel, Md.
Of these, 80 have been certified
by the courts for admission.
There isn't enough room for
them at the institution, which
averages a daily population of
706.
Mr.. Shea further reported the
Welfare Department has begun
reshufling it's caseWorker staff to
tighten the load on the staff ham
ding the ever-increasing volume
of dependent children cases.
To reduce the caseload per
worker in the dependent child
category, the welfare director
said, has meant increasing the
number of cases handled by the
staffs of other public assistance
categories. This is being done
in line with a previously an
nounced policy of concentrating
aid to needy children since chill
dren, rather than adults, give
most promise of rehabilitation
Consistent Increase.
Another report, prepared by
Donald Gray, superintendent OF
the public assistance division
called attention to the consist
emily increasing number of aid
to dependent children cases.
The number of csses last Au-
gust involved 2,346 families and
payments totaling $246,819. OF
which $96,720 was District mon
ey, Mr.. Gray reported. The
total spent for needy children
during that month was 42.7 pei
cent of all public assistance ex-
penditureS.
For the fiscal year which be-
gan July l, 1858, the dependent
children program cost $2.7 mil

aid money.
Desertion Major Cause.
Most of the cause for thi!
drain on Federal and local treas
ury was attributed to desertior
of the child by one or botf
parents.
But in addition to the finan'

Speciol Reports 7
Criticisms Stress
Lack of information
By John w. Stepp

A special report submitted to
the Welfare Advisory Council
yesterday rounded up seven
deficiencies" in relations be-
tween the District Welfare De-
partment and Juvenile Court. In
every instance, Donald Gray.
superintendent of the depart
ment's public assistance division.
traced the deficiency to the court.
Mr.. Gray's chief complaint
was the courts refusal to ex-
change freely information with
the Welfare Department.
This most serious" deficiency,
he said, lies in the fact that "all
that is known by both agencies
about the parents and the chill
dren cannot be pooled in order
that the efforts of each agency
can be as efficient as possible in
obtaining the support and care
for the children"
Cites Earlier Report.
He cited an earlier report by
special joint committee of United
Community Services and Fed
eral agencies that declared that
the court and community social
agencies should freely exchange
information and have the oppor-
tunity to inspect each others
records.
Pinpointing other defects in
the Juvenile Court system, con-
cerning it's relationship with the
Welfare Department, Mr.. Gray
listed these: .
/. Where children are born out
of wedlock and require public
assistance the parent is required
by the court to sign for release
OF court information to the We'll
fare Department in the presence
of court social worker. In
some cases the parent is not
available to give such written
permission, causing delay in
granting relief.
2. Information received from
the court docket is very lin
ited." Monthly consultation of
the docket should be permitted
so that the departments public
assistance division could be as
sured of current information.
Causes Confusion.
3. "There is confusion for the
individual seeking assistance
who has believed that there is
a close relationship between the
court and the agency"
4. Instances have arisen in
which it appears to the Welfare
Department that sums fixed by
the court in child-support cases
are mot realistic in terms of
the resources and obligations"
of the father.
S. When children who are re-
ceiving public assistance are un-
der investigation by the court,
'the court staff does not appear
to be in a position to inform
the Welfare Department case
worker of the courts actions and
plans"
6. The lack of free exchange
of. information causes needless
delay.
Among the remedies offered
by Mr.. Gray for these situa-
tions, there should be a free
exchange of information between
court and department; estab-
fishing of reasonable standards
for ascertaining the ability of re-
sponsible parents to support their
children, and a sufficient court
staff to make prompt and ade-
quate Investigations and follow
ups in non-support cases.

MckeIdin Calls
Byrd Ignorant
OF State Affairs
Democrat Cundidute
Charges 'FinogIine'
By Governors Aides
By the Assoeiafed Press

The kid gloves were off today
IN Maryland's campaign for
Governor. with Republican Gov.
McKeldin delivering his severest
rebuke to Democrat H. c. Byrd
and Byrd promising another at
tack on the State Roads Com
mission.
Before leaving yesterday for
speaking engagement in New
Orleans, McKeldin called Byrd a
self seeker, a tyrant. an auto
crat and a man ignorant of
State affairs.
Byrd, forced to cancel a Cam
bridge rally last night because
Of Hurricane Hazel. told group
Of supporters many favorable
contracts ,"have been finagled
by people in the McKeldin ad-
ministration to help themselves
financially"
"The Governor must have had
knowledge of some of these
things or else he was not paying
attention to the duties of his
job." said Byrd.
Hits Ex-ROad Commissioners.
The Democratic candidate
earlier had charged that David
M. Nichols and Avery w. Hall,
former members of the roads
commission, had profited from
commission operations since their
resignation.
He said yesterday similar state
ments could be expected later.
"My opponent" said McKeldin
in the most strongly worded
statement he has issued about
Byrd and the campaign, "is
avoiding State issues because of
his almost complete ignorance
of State service.
"His has been a career of self
aggrandizement, overlooking the
opportunities that a man in his
position had for helping his
fellow citizens.
''Now he seeks to hide his lack
Of knowledge by making baseless
charges and issuing unsubstanti-
ated innuendoes.

to facts.

Byrd has urged the people to vote
for the municipal home rule
amendment.
Because he doesn't understand
it?
"Or because he is against it?
"The latter could easily be true,
and would be typical of his auto
cratic mind and the tyranny with
which he so long directed the
affairs of the University of Mary
land"
Challenges Byrd.
McKeldln called on Byrd to
take stand on such things as
the administrations juvenile
bureau to curb delinquency, its
12-year roads program, its plan
to combat chronic disease, the
new understandable perform
ance" type of budget, and its pa
role system.
McKeld1n predicted he would
beat Bryd in the November
election, though it may be
Close" and said the Republicans
have "a good chance" to retain
control of Congress.
Curtailing his campaign in
Dorchester because of the hurri-
cane which plunged the entire
Eastern Shore into darkness less
than three hours before the
scheduled start of the rally,
Byrd said he plans to return in
a week or so.
In his prepared talk for the
rally, the former University of
Maryland president emphasized
his plan to set up an industrial
and economic commission. Men
tioning the recent closing of a
shirt factory in the area, he said
the commission could help re-
lieve such unemployment by
bringing new industry to the
section.
Byrd's schedule today calls for
visits to a Baltimore luncheon
Caroline County barbecue. an
Easton reception for candidates
a Talbot County rally, and an
Annapolis voters ball.
