out of Jones Point, and the
property is up for disposal. The

deed for the site. It was voted

erty and ask the Interior De-
partment to take it over as a

Democrats 10 Meet
July Is; Mahoney
Camp Pledges Fight
BY the Asseeit ted Press

The Democratic State Conven-
ton has been set for July 26
amid warnings from supporters
of George P. Mahoney that they
will take legal action to block
any move designed to stampede
delegates into giving the guber-
Material nomination to DR.. H. c.
Byrd.
c. William Hetzer, chairman
of the Democratic State Central
Committee, announced the date
after comforting with party
leaders. s..
Mr.. Hetzer said the convention
will be held at 2 pm. at the
Emerson Hotel in Baltimore.
G. o. p. Meets July "A.
Maryland Republicans will
hold their convention in Balti-
more July "a.
Mr.. Hetzer said delegates to
the Democratic convention will
represent the State and it's
people as well as the party.
There was no immediate COM
ment from either camp on Mr..
Hetzer's announcements. But
the expectation that the conven-
ton would be held before llu-
mereus recounts were completed
had prompted these reactions:
Mahoney forces served notice
they would block any move to
stampede the convention in ia
yor of DR.. Byrd.
Wants Recount First,
eve will not be given the buns

Baltimore lawyer active in Mr..
Mahoney's recount efforts to up
set DR.. Byrd's victory.
"It is unthinkable that the
State convention should desig-
nate the nominee for Governor
before all the votes are officially
and finally counted" Mr.. Press
man said.
E. Brooke Lee, headquarters
manager for Byrd, said Byrd
supporters are proceeding 'in
both entirely reasonable legal
and customary ways, first to
prevent DR.. Byrd from being eu-
chred out Of the nomination for
Governor which he won by ap-
proximately 5000 popular ma
jority and eight convention votes
and second to get started
with the Democratic campaign
against the Republicans.

Montgomery Board Proposes
Stiff Rules for SeIf-HeIp Pools

The Montgomery County Rec
.reation Board yesterday recon-
mended a rigid set of regula-
tons for "self-help" community
pools and construction next
year at county expense of $685.
600 worth of public pools.
In supporting the County
Councils proposal to amend the
coming code to permit establish
ment of private subscription
pools in residential areas. the
board, however, beat the drums
for its own public pool program.
"Any number of private sub
scription community pools will
not meet the existing need for
swimming facilities and SWIM
ming services ). in the county, :"
the board said.
Several Sites Named.
During the present year the
board wants the county to &C
quire land in the Silver Spring.
Wheaton area and turn it over
to a commercial pool developer
for an 18-to-2D-year period.
During the next fiscal year,
the board wants outdoor pools
built in the upper county and
midcounty area--the latter on
the county-owned farm near
Rockville.
The same year, the board pro-
poses two outdoor indoor pools
in the suburban area-one in
conjunction with the proposed
North Bethesda high school and
the other with the proposed
Wheaton Junior high school.
The board also urged the
County Council to build the pools
out Of current tax revenues,
rather than through a bond issue.
Such proposal would mean
adding 10 cents to the tax rate
for swimming pool construction
alone in next years budget. The
suburban residents already pay
Argent tax rate for recrea-
ton purposes.
The board said it and Recrea-
ton Director Forest v. Gustafson

were ready to assist the "com-
munity" pools under these mini
mum standards:
/. A minimum 21a-acre lot,
with the pool set back rs feet
from all sides and construction
of sun decks, bath house and
toilets.
2. Off-street parking for each
five family subscribers and all
parking spaces to be at least
rs feet, from any residence.
8. Adequate traffic safety plan
ming for access roads and
adequate bathhouse and toilet
facilities approved by the health
and recreation departments.
4. Adequate public health reg
ulations on water purity, turn
over, testing and disposal.
5. Adequate water safety reg
ulations along lines of the
National Recreation Association
recommendation of s27 square
feet per person in the deep
end and 10 square feet in the
shallow end.
Regulation Authority.
The board wants the Recrea-
ton Department to have an i'm
portant role in the regulation and
planning Of the community pools
built without cost to the county
and open only to members and
their guests.
The indoor outdoor pool
would bring in revenue only to
pay about half their operating
costs, Mr.. Gustafson said. Out
door pools alone, would more
than pay their own way, he
added.
The board chairman, Donald
H. Hunt, however, has said adj
mission fees would have to be
made too high if they were to
be used to help pay off any
bonded Indebtedness.
The county council tomorrow
night will hold a public hearing
on a proposal to amend the zon-
ing code to permit the community
pools in residential areas.

Gasch Argues Plan
For Juvenile Trials

Oliver Gasch. principal AS
sistant United States Attorney,
last night told the Kalorama
Citizens Association the United
States Attorney should have full
responsibility for determining
whether juveniles accused of fell
on1es should be tried in a juvenile
court.
He said the present setup, al
. lowing the Juvenile Court to de-
!. eide on waving a case to an
adult court. often results in a
sentence too lenient for the
crime.
There is a material relation
: ship between lenient sentences
and increased crime" he as
serted.
Mr.. Gasch advised the aboli-
ton of the "double-cut" system,
allowing a convicted criminal to
serve one sentence for three
crimes by serving concurrent
sentences.
While pointing out that the
District had a smaller increase
In crime last year than the rest
of the Nation, he said less than
half of the crimes committed
here were solved.
In other business, the associa-
ton voted to donate financial
support to the Metropolitan Po-
lice Boys Club.
The meeting, conducted by
John L. Smith. jr, president, was
held in the Highlands ReStau-
rant. California street and Con-
necticut avenue NV.

Rail Service curbed
In 5 Virginia Towns
By I'D Assoeiotad Pra,,

RICHMOND. Va, Feb. e.
The State Corporation Com
mission yesterday authorized
Southern Railway to remove
public loading tracks at four
Virginia stops and to dismantle
a spur track at a fifth stop.
Southern asked to take up
public loading tracks and dis
continue stations at Rixlew and
Thoroughfare in Prince William
County: Belvoir in Fauquier
County and Bowman in Shenan-
doah County. The spur track at
Simplicity in Lunenburg County
will be dismantled.
The railroad said use of the
stations and tracks was not
sufficient to justify keeping
them and that other nearby
stations can handle freight for
the areas affected.

Spencer Sees Payroll Tax
As Bright but Vain Hope

District Commissioner Samuel
Spencer said last night that one
of the best sources Of revenue
for the District would be a gen.
eral payroll tax-except that
nobody would ever approve it.
The reason, he said, is that
congressman would have to pay
it, too. And If they were ex-
cluded. he pointed out, then the
enactment would probably be
declared unconstitutional.
Mr.. Spencer, addressing the
Arkansas Citizens Association,
outlined the taxes the Commits
sioners have proposed for the
public works project now before
Congress. These include, he
said, increases in water and
sewer rates, higher gasoline
taxes, personal income taxes and
in cigarettes, beer and liquor.

Shaw Raps Transfer
Of Teen VioIators
From Juvenile Court

A Washington juvenile well
fare worker said last night
that, "if the District trans
fers the Jurisdiction over ju-
venile law breakers from the
Juvenile Court to the United
States District Attorney it will
be taking a backward step" in
solving the problem.
People are becoming hys-
terical about juvenile delin-
quency." he said, land teen-age
is becoming a word of reproach.
Actually, modern children are
far more capable and more re-
sourceful than the youth of past
generations. and the great ma
jority of them are honest and
well adjusted"
The speaker, G. Rowland
Shaw, a former Assistant Secre-
tary of State, is a member of the
Commissioners Youth Council,
chairman of the Welfare Council
of New York, president of the Dis
trict Mental Hygiene Society
and is a member of the Board
of Trustees of the National Pro-
baton Association.
Speaking to the Mount Pleas
ant Citizens Association in the
branch library at Sixteenth and
Lamont streets NV, Mr.. Shaw
warned that there is no single
cause of juvenile delinquency"
He also cautioned the group
TO be wary of any statistics re-
garding the juvenile crime rate.
The police have changed their
method Of reporting juvenile
misdeeds. he said, and cases
are being referred to jtive-
nile court that would have been
simply neglected until recently.

problem with a parental respon-
sibility law" he declared. Our
way of life has changed, and
young people have many con-
facts outside the home which
may be responsible for their be-
havior. We cannot use an anti
quated standard to judge present

Jack Cowart of Dallas, Tex,

Cowart, 48, a former Agricul-
