Special 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 a
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-
corning 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 a 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.

State Teachers
Pledge Backing
For lnfegration
Maryland Group
Asks Cooperation
With Pupils, Citizens
By the A.soeio,ed Pres.

BILT1MORE, Oct. 16.- The
Maryland State Teachers Asso-
citation today recommended that
its members cooperate with
pupils and other citizens in
effecting the integration of white
and Negro students in Mary
lands public schools.
A resolution adopted by the
associations representative as
sembly said:
"In accordance with the recent
decision Of the Supreme Court
Of the United States which de-
clared racial segregation in pub
lie schools to be unconstitutional,
the Maryland State Teachers
Association believes that inte-
grafton in this State should be
effected in a fair and lawful
manner"
&. First Public Stand.
The teachers organization
opened its own membership to
Negroes three years ago but has
never before taken a public
stand on segregation in class
rooms.
The representative assembly
also indorsed a f1ve-year pro-
gram calling upon the State to
put up 500 million for new
schools in that time.
This and other points of the
f1ve-year program were agreed
upon by the MSTA's Executive
Committee last spring in con-
junction with the Maryland State
Teachers Association.
Five-Year Plan.
A Baltimore City delegation
today inserted in the proposal
q commendation for the way the
program had been brought up.
Other points in the f1ve-year
plan for improving the schools
include:
/. Further expansion of the
State teachers colleges, to cost
about 81 million;
2. Higher salaries for instruc-
tors at the teachers colleges, to
cost about $4,000 a year;
3. Improved retirement bene-
fits for teachers, to cost about
81 million a year.
4. A $4,000 to $4,000 minimum
salary scale for teachers. to cost
about $6 million a year.
S. An additional 100000 a
year for libraries.
6. Driver education for high
school pupils, to cost $960,000 a
year.
All State Aid.
All this money would be State
aid for local school systems.
In the three years since the
association opened it's own men,
bership to Negroes, MSTA or
ganizations in Allegany, Wash
ington, Carroll and Baltimore
Counties and in Baltimore City
have been integrated. Local or.
ganizations remained separate ir
the other counties and bylaw
changes there would enable
MSTA to extend aff1liation tt
both groups.

Relief Applications
In D. {. Mount 10
.1,11S in September

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 1,066.
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, a 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 daily population of
7O6.
Mr.. Shea further reported the
Welfare Department has begun
reshuffling it's caseworker staff to
tighten the load on the staff han
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
stats 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 cases 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 per
cent of all public assistance ex-
penditures.
For the fiscal year which be-
gan July /, 1858. the dependent
children program cost $2.7 mil
lion, more than 81 million OF
which came from District tax
payers. The rest was Federal
aid money.
Desertion Major Cause.
Most of the cause for this
drain on Federal and local treas.
ury was attributed to desertior
! of the child by one or bott
parents.
But in addition to the flnan'
cial burden on the community
Mr.. Gray pointed out, the cos
must be measured in terms o.
the Insecurity and deprivation o.
the children which have PRO
found influence on the social ane
moral well-being of the children
and the community"
The Welfare Council bolsteree
the department on at least ont
small front. It formally indorset
the past practice of determining
from police. by consulting hacl
