working. shoe repairing, short

The District has a high rate
of repeaters. the Commissioner
said. because it cannot keep de-
linquent children in its institu-
tions long enough to train them.
Completion of a new training
school at Laurel, Md. should
solve this problem, the commits
sioner said.
With the new facility. he
wrote Senator Case, children can
be kept for a minimum period of
nine months-said by welfare
officials to be the shortest time
in which effective rehabilita-
ton can be done.
Welfare Director Gerard M.
Shea, however, has said that
even with the new institution,
inmates may have to be re-
leased after six months because
of heavy pressure of children
being sent there. At one Dis
trict institution for delinquents,
the Industrial Home School at
Blue Plains. children now aver
age only three and a half months
in residence.
The new Laurel institution
will take out of the Receiving
Home all the children that
should not be there, Commits
sioner, Camalier wrote Senator
Case.
Camalier Agrees
On the care of emotionally
disturbed children, Mr.. Camaliel
agreed with Senator Case ano
said the program was under con-
sideration by Health. Welfare
and hospital officials who agree
that a residential facility-"one
that offers psychiatric evalua-
ton and treatment over a period
of one to two years or perhaps
longer"-is needed.
The Commissioner said thai
between so and 10 children who
need this care are now wards OF
the Welfare Department and dc
not get it.
In reply to Mr.. Camalier's ex.
PLANTATION Senator Case said thai
he hoped sufficient staff coulc
be recruited to open the Laure
institution by May Is. Mr.. Shea
however, is doubtful about the
opening date and thinks thai
planning to open by July / is
optimistic.
This institution. known al
Jolly Acres" will have ca.
pacity of 525 delinquents of botf
sexes. At that figure, it is al
ready overcrowded-the police
and welfare departments know
of more children who should bt
there.

Wins Approval,
Goes 10 House
District Group
OKs 21-Member
Planning Board
By HAROLD B. ROGERS

The House District Commit.
tee today approved and sent to
the House for action a bill set
ting up a 21-member commits
sion to formulate plans for a
civic auditorium and cultural
center.
Sponsor Of the measure, Rep
resentative Morrison, Democrat,
of Louisiana. who had held long
hearings as chairman of a SUBJ
committee, said he felt the
House would pass the bill. Fur
thermore. he said. he had con-
ferred with Senators and he
hopes the Senate District Com
mittee will take early action as
soon as the House passes and
sends the measure to the other
body.
The vote in the District Com
mittee on the Morrison bill was
unanimous, Chairman Mcmillan
announced.
DdCAcu StTOusly
Backed by a distinguished ar
ray of witnesses at several
hearings, the measure now pro-
vides the commission of 81
members should be appointed as
follows:
Seven appointed by the Presi-
dent, seven by the chairman of
the Senate District Committee
and seven by the chairman of
the House District Committee.
The bill authorizes the COM
mission to consider a suitable
site, one of which discussed in
the hearings would be in South
west Washington; prepare plans.
estimates of cost and a method
of financing on a self f-liquidat-
ing basis.
The commission would be re-
quired to report to both the
President and to Congress with
its recommendations by next
February l.
The District Committee also
favorably reported to the House
legislation giving a $1,000 salary
increase for judges of Municipal
Court. Municipal Court of APP
peals and the District Tax Court,
but not the judge of the Juvenile
Court.
Judge Left Out
During action on the judges
pay raises. it was learned after
the meeting, one member COM
mented that the Juvenile Court
Judge had been left out. It
was explained at the time that
since the. Juvenile Court judge
has been approved by the Senate
District Committee and if and
when the two bills go to con-
ference between the House and
Senate, inclusion of the juvenile
Judge in the legislation could be
considered by both House and
senate cOnfereeS.
Two other minor bills were
approved by the committee.
They would:
Permit the consolidation of
the Roosevelt Memorial Associa-
tion with the Women's Theodore
Roosevelt Memorial Association.
Inc, and the consolidation of the
National Tax Association, incor-
porated under District laws, with
the Tax Institute, Inc, which
was organized under New York
State law.
All four of these measures
could come up for action on the
House floor the next District day.

Murray 10 Rule
On Po|iceFe

Police Chief Robert v. Murray
today was told to decide for him
self whether Constitution Hall
and other places should be
charged for police services at
special events.
That was Corporation Counsel
Vernon E. Vests reply to Chief
Murray's request for a legal
opinion on what he described as
a controversial law-the city's
right to charge for police and
fire services at crowd-attracting
commercial events. Mr.. West
simply cited the law and regula-
tions and told the Commission
ers: Il think Chief Murray can
decide for himself"
Bill introduced
The response was different on
Capitol Hill. Late yesterday,
Representative league, Demo-
crat, of Texas introduced a
double-barreled bill providing:
That the National Guard
Armory be subject to charges for
police and fire services when ii
leases the building for CONNER
cial events.
That off-duty police and fire.
men should be used as far as
possible for these special details.
That they should be paid from
a trust fund to be known as the
Policemen and Firemen's Special
Services Fund. which would be
supported by the fees paid by
promoters and managers of
sports and entertainment events
for police and fire services.
The proposal to use off duty
policemen instead of pulling men
off their regular beats to cope
with crowds at special events has
been strongly urged by Police
Chief Robert v. Murray.
Wants Beats Covered
Chief Murray takes the posi-
tion that as long as he cannot
get his long-sought goal of a
2.500-man force. he wants to
keep as many men as possible
patroling beats.
The Armory was specifically
included in the bill because at
present it is not subject to
charges for police and fire serv-
ices. 1t is not a licensed premises
and only certain licensed prem
ises have to pay for special police
and fire services.
At present only Griffith Sta
dium, Uline Arena and Turner's
Arena are being billed for this
service Police have been await
ing word from the corporation
counsel's Office on whether they
could charge Constitution Hall
which is also not being billed
for police services at this time,
although it is a licensed premises
and does pay for fire services.
Constitution Hall Listed
After the Commissioners ap-
proved Mr.. Vests three-page
report on the rules and regula-
tionS covering places that can
and cannot be charged, a re-
porter asked Mr.. West specifically
whether Constitution Hall could
be charged.
That's a licensed hail." he
replied.
He was asked if the hall were
covered by the exemptions listed
in the regulations. He said it was
not.
