Montgomery Blue Law Scare

Mr.. Dawson said his Office
would fulfill its obligations to en-
force all the laws, however, by
prosecuting any blue-law case
on which a warrant Is sworn out
by private citizen.

Montgomery police felt Mr..
Dawson had ordered a crack
down. Mr.. Dawson said it was
a misunderstanding.
Last Sunday police, acting on
what they believed were Mr..
Dawson's orders. gave out
warnings to businessmen and
said that this Sunday they
would be around again to en-
force the Sunday closing law.
The blue laws permit only the
Sunday retail sale of drugs,

permits residents to attend

Members of the committee
strongly protested Capt. Ryan's
statements before the Senate
subcommittee investigating ju-
venile delinquency when he said
there is a fundamental differ
ence between the working phi
losophy of the police and the
social workers.
The matter came to a head
when Mrs. Robert E. Freer of
the committee expressed indig-
nation saying. I'm aghast at
Capt. Ryan's attitude when he
said We're policemen. not social
service workers.
She quoted the officer as say
ing his men will not and have
not taken advantage of the
social service training available
in Washington.
Criticized by Others.
The police officer also was
criticized by other members of
the committee.
Attorney Belford w.. Lawson
declared: II wonder if we're not
beating their heads against
wall when a man like Capt
Ryan takes that attitude? But,
at least we might in no un-

3 Bills Launch
Trip|eAttack
On Pollution
One Measure Alone
Won't Save Potomac.
Rep. Boiley Says
By Harold B. Rooers
BV HoroId B. Rooers

Three separate bills to reduce
pollution in the Potomac and
other rivers of the country were
before three different House
committees today.
Intended as so-called "threea
pronged" attack on the problem.
the legislation was introduced
yesterday by Representative
Bailey, Democrat, of West Vir-
ginia.
The Potomac River is particu-
larly in need of action to clean
it up, he said. But the Inter-
state Commission on the Poto-
mac River Basin, he charged, has
accomplished very little of prac-
tical value in this direction in
its several years of existence.
Industrial Waste, Too.
Not only sewage. but much in
dustrial waste pourS into the
Potomac River at various points
upstream even into his own
State of West Virginia, the leg
islator said.
His three-point program, strik-
ing at city sewage, industrial
pollution and sulphur water
from abandoned coal mines, is
needed as a whole to correct the
situation, he said. None of these
alone could do the job, ne in
sisted.
The three bills, assigned to
three different House commit
tees, would:
+. !. Increase the amount of Fed
eral loans extended by the Fed
eral Government to lnunlcipali-
ties fol construction of sewage
treatment plants from the VI us-
ent one-third to two-thirds OF
the cost. 1t also would lengthen
the time for repayment of such
interest-bearing loans from tie
present 10 years to 80 years. The
bill went to the House Public
Works Committee.
Offers Tax Relief.
2. Authorize private industries
to deduct from Federal income
tax returns the cost of building
installations for treatment of in
dustrial waste and sewage This
bill permitting amortization of
such cost over a five-year period
would amend a section OF the
Revenue Code. 1t went 70 the
House Ways and Means Com
mit!ee.
3. Order sealing abandoned
coal mines to prevent the flow
-of sulphur water into rivers.
This bill would require appro-
priations for the Bureau of
Mines so the Government could
seal such mines no longer ac-
tive. The measure would not
affect mines now being operat-
ed, nor those temporarily made
idle for two years. Beyond two
years. however, there would be
penalty of one year in a peni-
tentiary for owners who failed
to seal their properties. This
measure went to the Committee
on Interior and Insular Affairs.

Senator'S Heart Official
Challenge Attack on
Value Of Scoutinq

A Boy Scout volunteer official
today struck back at charges that
the Boy Scouts are a ''horse and
buggy" organization.
E. S. Alverson. board member
Of the National Capital Area
Council of the Boy Scouts. came
before the Senate Juvenile De-
linquency subcommittee to chal-
lenge the testimony of DR.. Wal
ter Reckless of Ohio State Uni
verSity.
He was there to take issue with
DR.. Reckless statements that the
Boy Scouts are not reaching the
youths most likely to be picked
up by police, that juveniles ere
tired Of tying knots and that the
Boy Scouts are reaching only the
middle class boys attracted to
such values as fresh air, uniforms
and tying knots.
Reach Boys First.
Mr.. Alverson said the Scouts
resent this fantastically falla-
cious appraisal of our organiza-
ton and it's work"
THE police do not reach our
boys because we reach them
first" said Mr.. Alverson. "A
Scout thinks it is smarter to put
out an urban fire than to start
one. He knows that it takes
skill and money to put in a pane
of glass and no brains at all to
knock one out. A Scout may
steal some time from his leisure
to earn a few dollars but he
won't steal those dollars"
He acknowledged that the
Scouts are taught to tie some
useful knots, but he said that out
Of the 10 or more years they are
engaged in scouting they spend
only two or three weeks on knot
tying.
Defends Professor.
Subcommittee Counsel Herbert
j. Hannoch protested that he
did not think DR.. Reckless made
his criticism in the spirit that
the Scouts have interpreted it.
II have to point to the head
lines." retorted Mr.. Alverson.
THE implication is plain that
the Scouts aren't quite bright"
He said the Scouts are proud
Of their uniforms. Then he re-
called his own experiences.
"I wore a Scout uniform the
first year the organization came
into being" he said with a grin.
"It consisted of a Spanish
American War sombrero, an ak
at the belt and a hardwood pole
about IL feet long. Our first
three months as Scouts were oc-
cupied in falling over these
poles. We manned so many
women and children with them
while doing good deeds that they
took them away from us"
He recalled that when the
Government was campaigning
to salvage scrap rubber during
the war. the Scouts turned in
80 million pounds in a two
week drive-"all delivered to
Uncle Sam in our horse and
buggy, no doubt"
He said figures showing the
growth Of the Scouts prove that
the organization has mot in
dulged in any Rip Van Wrinkle
