Inspector TO Urge
Freer Hand in DEALING
With Delinquency

Police Inspector John E. Win
terS will call for legislation CIV
ing the police department a freer
hand in dealing with juvenile
delinquents. The move, however,
will run into stiff opposition from
the Juvenile Court.
The inspector, just back from
tour of several cities to study
programs combating delin-
quency, wants to see the present
juvenile statute here amended
so his newly created juvenile di-
vision may take serious cases
directly to the adult court with
out asking the Juvenile Court
to waive its Jurisdiction.
Although Inspector Winters
declared he wanted to discuss
the matter with Chief Robert v.
Murray and Juvenile Court
Judge Edith Cockrill, Judge
Cockrill is strenuously opposed
to giving up her courts waiver
power.
Inspector Winters observed to-
day that in New York and De-
troit the juvenile offender is
taken, if necessary, directly to
court, with some juveniles pre-
sented to the adult court in seri-
GUS cases.
There is no softening when the
offenders are taken directly to
the judge, the inspector said. He
pointed out that in the District
it takes weeks before a juvenile
delinquent can be taken before
the Juvenile Court.
Inspector Winters, who visited
New York, Minneapolis, Madison,
Wis, and Detroit, said he felt
the Districts efforts toward COM
batting juvenile delinquency
compares favorably with other
programs over the Nation.
He pointed out that in most
cities there are movements to
change and modify various
statutes dealing with juvenile
delinquents. He noted that the
program is Nationwide and as
yet no one jurisdiction seems
to have hit upon the perfect
ti-delinQuency program.

Patronage at the city's pilot
Anacostia fringe parking lot,

ly both Thursday and Friday.
Today's 323 cars exceeded the
previous high by IL.
Engineer Commissioner Louis
w. Prentiss said he was very
much encouraged by the reversal
of the downward trend.
He said he figured that the
use dropped off Thursday be-
cause more motorists had wanted
their cars in town for the late
Thursday night shopping. He
said the Friday drop may have
been caused by employees taking

Metered parking mas come
into its own in downtown Wash
ington through the efforts of a
special eight-man patrol.
Gone, almost completely. is
the parking meter hog who
dashed forth from his Govern
ment Office or place of business
at Commute intervals to push
another nickel in the meter. It
was inconvenient, but cheap, for
the eight-hour -a-day man to use
the metered space in that way.
Bitter Lesson.
In the past two months, how
ever, the meter, hog has learned
a bitter lesson.
"An overtime parking ticket
costs $3." Pvt. Robert F. Siebert,
one of the special patrolmen,
said. We've put out nearly
1000 tickets for overtime park
ing violations in the past month
alone"
Some of the meter hogs had
to learn the hard way. by getting
three or four such tickets. before
they realized it was a losing
proposition.
when they finally realized we
meant business, they began to
look elsewhere for their all-day
parking" Pvt. Siebert explained.
Enforcement Crack Down.
Intensive enforcement of the
parking regulations through the
eight-man squad began August
2. Deputy Chief John j. Agnew
explained the salaries for the
special unit are paid out of the
Motor Vehicle Parking Agency
fund.
The eight men will be equipped
with motorcycles next month to

Pvt. Siebert's special patrol is

Boy, 13, Accused
In 9 Housebreakinqs
Within Two Weeks

A 13-year-old boy who gets an
allowance of $4.75 a week and
owns an $85 bicycle has admitted
nine housebreakings and the
theft of another bicycle during,
the past two weeks, police re-s
ported today.
The colored boy has no previ-
Gus record and could give po-
lice no explanation for his sud-
den career of crime.
Detective Oliver Q. Brown of
the Juvenile Squad said the boy
was charged in one housebreak-
ing and readily admitted the
others and the bicycle theft.
Broke Glass to Enter.
According to Detective Brown,
the boy worked exclusively in the
Northeast section. He limited
himself to private homes or
apartments and always entered
from the rear-usually by break
ing glass in a door or window.
Detective Brown. said the
youths biggest haul was on Sep
tember II when he got $50 from
place in the 4500 block of Sar-
gent road NE.
More often than money, he
picked up whatever was lying
around-a watch here, fishing
tackle there. Detective Brown
said he stole a bullwhip during
housebreaking one night and
later the same night broke into
the house next door and left the
whip there. He told police he
decided he didn't need it.
Surprised in Apartment.
Police got their first clue to
him on September % when an
apartment dweller surprised him
in a first floor apartment in the
1900 block of Third street NE.
The boy escaped through a win
dow but police were given de-
scription of him-including the
fact he was wearing a red jersey.
Detective Brown said the. boy
was wearing the jersey Saturday
night when he was picked up as
a result of his widely circulated
description at Tenth street and
Michigan avenue NE. He was
lodged in the Receiving Home.

Reporter Walks Beat.
A reporter who walked the
beat with Pvt. Siebert soon found
that the average IS tickets
handed out daily by the big,
genial, redheaded officer. could
be easily doubled or tripled.
In cases where the meter clock
had run it's full course on CO.
minute parking spaces but the
full 10-minute grace period had
not yet expired, the car was
marked for a later check. In
such cases the owner had fire.
quently arrived and left before
the second check.
In other cases where 20-min-
ute parking is permitted be-
cause of intense parking turn
over requirements, a full meas
ure of grace was granted to vio-
lators. In one such case the car
owner appeared Just as the clock
licked off .the grace period. He
hastily clambered in and drove
off when Pvt. Siebert chided him
for the delay.
Lawyer Loses Case.
A Government lawyer arrived
at his car which had long since
used up its so minutes plus 10
just as Pvt. Siebert had begun
writing the ticket. He was pro-
fuse in his explanations but
when he saw it was getting him
no place, his voice took on an
edge of sarcasm as he inquired
about what would happen to the
'other cars along here"
"That's the way it is most of
the time" Pvt. Siebert said
later. when the violator thinks
he can talk you out of it he's
very congenial. But as soon as
he sees he's going to get the
ticket he becomes abusive and
quarrelsome."
"But it's all part of the job,
I guess" he said philosophically.
II guess you can't blame a guy
for getting 'peeved when he has
to shell out So for a couple hours
