Cama|ier Says He'll
Help Seek Funds for
freedmen S Patients

! District Commissioner Renah
r. ACamalier said last night he
has promised Freedmen's Hos
pital officials he will try to find
additional funds to pay for more
INDECENT patients there.
He discussed inadequacy of
funds to pay for such patients
on the Commissioners Report"
program over Radio Station
WWDC.
Sees Teaching Threat.
Mr.. Camalier said the city has
been diverting as many INDECENT
patients as it can to District
General Hospital because of the
money situation. But he said
that practice is a threat to the
Howard University teaching pro-
gram.
Federal officials, he said. urged
$470, 900 be earmarked for such
patients this year, but that the
city had. intended spending
$500. 00O-the same amount ear
marked last year. Even some of
the 100000 was diverted last
year, he said, which the city still
owes Freedmen's.
No Word on Transit Veto.
On other matters he said:
/. The city heads have had no
word from the Budget Bureau or
White House on their request for
presidential veto of a double
barreled transit bill that would
set up separate commissions to
study transit needs and regulate
public transit in the city and
Maryland.
2. A meeting will be held at
2 pm. September Is to decide
what city agency will take over
the vocational rehabilitation
programme be decentralized by
law from a Federal to a State
and local activity. He said he
favored placing it directly under
the Commissioners, not under
school officials as has been sug-

teresting, he continued, but
would be designed to teach juve-
niles the law and the penalties
for breaking the law. Particular
attention would be focused on
''muggings" and purse snatch
ingS, favorite occupations for
juvenile delinquents here.
Clubs Used as Alibis.
Police are worried because
some young hoodlums leave the
Boys Clubs to commit crimes,
even occasionally using their
presence there as alibis.
The proposed in-service train
ing under, consideration by Chief
Murray would stress co-opera-
ton and teach police officers
the functions Of other law en-
forcement groups.
In the past, in-service train
ing of rockies involved the juve-
nile statute. . the District of
Columbia Code and the police
regulations. The new plan would

tions of other agencies and
emphasize that all are on the
same team, not rivals.
The plan would be In keeping
with Inspector Winters hope to
ordinate all divisions of the
police department fighting juve-

The Metropolitan Police Boys
Clubs may be in for a complete
program revision. The Star
learned yesterday.
Inspector John E. Winters. head
Of the new police juvenile >divi-
sion. is planning extensive
changes in the clubs to stress
crime prevention rather than
merely encouraging athletics.
At the same time, Police Chief
Robert v. Murray is considering
establishing an elaborate course
for in-service training of all
members of the juvenile squad
and associated groups.
Would Stress Cooperation.
The course would emphasize
cooperation between the police
and other agencies working
against juvenile delinquency as
well as adult criminals.
Inspector Winters has decided
to push a definite educational
program for the boys clubs. lee
lures which would be preceded
by short motion picture films.
The inspector plans on asking
agents from the Federal Bureau
of. Investigation and other law
enforcement agencies to partici-
pate in the program. j

curry reaching 100 degrees and
prospective customers stayed out
of the downtown area in droves.
Outside of a bit of drizzle. the
weather behaved the way de-
partment store executives liked
it this year. One official pointed
out that the whole week has
been helpful. weatherwise. in
prompting customers to make
Saturday shopping plans-com-
pared to last year when the mer-
curry stayed over 80 for q week
and thoughts Of wool and velvet
were not exactly at the front OF
shoppers minds.
One department store official
noted the shoppers showed more
interest in buying and were
somewhat more liberal with their
funds than last year-confirm-
ing q trend Id the making for
several weeks past.
Several stores reported they
were consistently busy in all de-
partments-from school needs ia
household furnishings.
