He will work in conjunction

the service will be primarily

Referring to its potentialities,
saying it was a needed tacil-

hope that some far-Sighted
businessman will contribute
the initial $50. necessary to
establish the bureau.
One youth project will be to
equip a group of AZA and

Police Department
10 Offer Changes in
| Juvenile Court Law

The Metropolitan Police De-
partment soon viii suggest re-
visions in the Juvenile Court
law to clarity its role in the
handling Of youthful offenders.
1t was learned today.
"A report viii be handed Po-
lice Chief Robert ". Murray next
week by Inspector John E. VIM
tiers. head Of the Police Depart
ment,s new juvenile division.
Chief Murray will pass the re-
port along to the C Commission
ers for submission. ii they ap-
prove it. to Che Corporation
Counsel for preparation Of 1egis-
lation.
Inspector Winters was not pre-
pared to disclose the contents Of
the report. but it was understood
the most controversial of the
suggestions would concern the
waving Of Jurisdiction on youths
16 or older who have committed
felonies.
Change in Waiver Powers.
A change in waiver powers,
submitted to Congress in the
last session, provided that the
United States Attorney rather
than the Juvenile Court judge
would decide whether older
juveniles charged with felonies
would be tried as adults.
Police feel that Qualifications
in the law are desirable for the
effective functioning of the new
juvenile division. Chief Murray
said today he expects the divi-
sion to start its work of co-ordi-
mating the handling of young
offenders early in November.
The report will include sug-
gestions based on police expert
ence. Chief Murray was chair
man of the juvenile committee
of the International Association
Of Police Chiefs and submitted
a report at its convention in
New Orleans.
Contains No Criticism.
It is understood that Inspector
Winters submission contains no
criticism of Juvenile Court Judge
Edith n. Cockrill or any refec-
ton on her operation Of the
court. .
But the police want an act
that will spell out what the po-
lice and the court roles are In

the handling OF juveniles. They
feel that much Of the language
now Is subject to Interpretation.
Police would like q simplif1ed
law which would be clear to them
and to the public.
\ Among the subjects which they
hope will 'be cleared up are the
provisions on contributing to the
delinquency of a minor. They
say the law now indicates there
must be a pattern" of the Of
tense, whereas in other cities one
act can constitute a case.
Police also feel the present
law is not clear on the action
police can take with respect to
missing children.
