star STAR correspondent

BALTIMORE, July 27.-The
long-sought probe of the State
Roads Commissions operations
appeared to be a certainty today
with an assurance that an "ip-
QUESTION" was out Of the ques-
ton.
The newly appointed Green
Commission in three-hour
closed session yesterday agreed to
what 1t termed a study not an
investigation" of the roads agen-
|cy's setup.
Immediately after the meeting
Chairman Harry j. Green. Bal
timore attorney. released a let
ter to Gov. McKeldin which
stated in part:
This commission is pleased to
accept the request with the
same reservations as you have
made; namely, this is to be a
study not an inquisition."
Gov. McKeldin last Thursday
had said he was requesting
the Green Comfnission-official
known as the Commission on
State Programs, Organizations
and Finance-to take up the
roads commission as the first
subject in its studies.
Positive Approach
Mr.. Green yesterday said that
q STUDY" was a positive ap-
Iproach dealing with procedures
An investigation" he said, was
"a negative approach dealing
with individuals.
"Its intent and purposes will
not be punitive but construc-
tive" Mr.. Green said in his letter
to the Governor.

Jurists Propose Program
To Combot DeIinquency

Washington County Juvenile
Court suggested setting up a uni
form system of juvenile de-
linquency statistics for every
court In the State.
Thomas j. s. Waxter, director
of the State Department of We'll
fare and co-chairman of the
conference, suggested use of a
standard Federal form of juve-
nile delinquency report now en-
ployed in Baltimore.
Neglectful parents "who Just
aren't there" when their children
need them were one Of the topics
of discussion at the workshop
sessions yesterday.
Sometimes the parents them
selves so emotionally deprived
themselves that they are unable
to provide love and assume the
parent role" said Dorothy A.
Met Guinness, supervisor of a
Bronx unit Of the New York City
Youth Board.
"They are harsh and rigid be-
cause that's what they have ex-
perienced themselves" she said.
The New York Youth Board is
an agency to which the schools
refer "overtly aggressive" chill
dren. The agency then has the
job of convincing the parents
their children need help.
Parents often have a host of
reasons for not wanting to CO.
operate, she added, or for oppos-
ing any outside assistance.
She explained they usually
haven't considered seeking such
help and sometimes they admit
the need of financial assistance
but seldom look to their own
problems, such as marital dis
cord, as the source of trouble.
Miss McGuinness said other
parents are so overwhelmed by
their personal troubles that
their child's problems seem COM
paratively unimportant.

Protest Is Planned
On Rezonine Near
Fuirfux Plantation

The National Trust for His
toric Preservation, owner of
Woodlawn Plantation in Fairfax
County. plans to protest tomor-
row a proposed commercial
rezoning near the plantation.
The Fairfax County Board Of
Supervisors will consider the re-
zoning at a hearing at 1880 pm.
Citizens Of the Woodlawn-
Mount Vernon area plan to op-
pose four other rezonings for
subdivision development in the
area. Gen. Stanley L. Scott,
U. s. Army (retired). chairman
Of the Woodlawn committee for
the Trust, said his committee
would oppose an application by
M. Oliver Perry to rezone O two
acre rural residential tract to
business for construction Of q
restaurant. The tract is at the
intersection of Routes / and 2S5
near the entrance to Woodlawn.
The four other applications
involve total Of 226 acres
which the owners want to
change from half-acre lot size
zoning to quarter acre. The
McHugh proposed master plan
has recommended that the zon-
ing in the area remain half f-acre.
The County Planning Commis-
sion also has gone on record
against the proposed rezonings.
One tract includes 119 acres
at the intersection Of Routes 62S
and 235; another totals 7S acres
near the intersection Of Routes
623 and 624, and another in
cludes "a acres on Route 235

Come in now. Because of our low used car
inventory, we are in an excellent position to

This message is addressed to those who have

considered acting on the impulse this year.
For you, there is interesting and valuable
information in the paragraphs which follow
In the first place, there is no reason why any
one should ever put off ordering Cadillac
once the decision for ownership has been made
For Cadillac represents one of the soundea
and most practical investments in the auto
motive world.
The lowest priced Cadillac, for instance, is
surprisingly close in cost to many so-called
medium price cars-often within few dollars.
And this is only half the picture, insofar as
Evening star., 1955-07-27

cost is concerned. For when the time comes to
sell your Cadillac, you will find that the car has
held its value far beyond anything you could
logically expect.
Authoritative price figures, based on year
after-year studies, reveal that Cadillac may
be expected to return its owner larger share
OF his original investment than any other motor
car built in the land
And then consider Cadillac's economy of
operation and upkeep.
The car will run as far on gallon of gasoline
as most standard automobiles it is so
soundly built and engineered that it is all but
free from any save routine service needs.

CHICAGO, = After middle
weight champion Sugar Ray
Robinson was felled by the
104 degree heat while trying to
wrest the light heavyweight
title from Joey Maxim in
June 1852, he got down on his
knees and promised God that
he would give up boxing. In

Ray broke his promise to God.
AS a flashy fighter, who
made life hum wherever he
went, whether in the ring, to
donate a Damon Runyon Can
Ger Fund check or to rule over
the Ray Robinson Enterprises
in Harlem, Robinson was al
ways the center of attraction.
AS a dancer he no longer en-
joyed the limelight as cham
pion = neither on stage nor

drifted from his ring career,
the closer he came to being
just another song and dance
man. For the ever proud and
