City 10 Ask
Use, Not Sale,
Of Boys School
District Foced
With Disposal Of
225 Juveniles

The District Commissioners
win ask the Justice Department
to turn the National Training
School for Boys over to the city.
rather than sell the Federal In
stitution as proposed in con.
Itemplated legislation.
The reason is that city officials
are faced with o decision on
what TO do with some 225 Dis
ltrict juveniles now confined at
the training school. They have
mo place to put them.
/ The Justice Department has
proposed and sent to the bureau
lof the Budget legislation to sell
1.-THE training school and establish
another institution away from
the District.
It Is understood the DEPART
ment does not want to accept
the District load, for which the
city pays support. Furthermore.
District officials note. the De-
partment would like to unload
some 200 other District juvenile
offenders being kept in Federal
institutions elsewhere.
Alternative Considered
An alternative, If the Federal
institution on BladenSburg road
is lost to the city, would be leg
lislation to permit the detention
lof juveniles in special quarters
at adult penal institutions. Pres
ent law prohibits, in general,
keeping children under 10 In
custody with adults convicted Of
or charged with crime.
The planned Youth Correc-
ltions Center at Lorton Reforma-
tory. as presently contemplated.
would not solve the problem.
since 1t is designed for the re-
Mobilization Of youthful crirn-
inal offenders 10 and over.
Welfare Director Gerard NJ.
Shea is equipped to handle this
lordinary run Of children under
116 at the Children's Center ex-
tcept for the '.very sophisticated"
or excessively delinquent young
Ister.
i Conference Suggested
Thus the problem is mainly
what to do with the Is to 18-
Iyear-old offender.
| Mr.. Shea has suggested that
Ithe officials concerned meet and
study the problem.
| Federal authorities have long
proposed rebuilding Of the train
ling school in some spot away
from Washington. When the
buildings were new, the site was
far removed from the city. but
with growing congestion in the
Iarea and obsoletion Of the build
iings, officials there have COM
lplained Of constant tension un-
Ider which they have been forced
Ito operate.

Locked Dope Ward

Operating Fund
Found, Guard
Issue Remains

Funds have been found to oper
the unused locked ward at Dis.
trict General Hospital and it viii
be operating within a month tc
take care Of prisoners and dops
addicts, Commissioner Robert e
Mclaughlin said last night.
He said. the only remaining
question Is how the guarding viii
be arranged. He has beer
turned down in his bid for dep
nty marshals to guard the pris.
onerS.
Mr.. Mclaughlin. interviewed
during Report to the People
over radio station WWDC. said
he could not discuss the source
Of the funds because that was
involved in secret budget ar
rangements but he added:
ut can now be assumed that
we will have the funds and that
the locked ward win be in oper-
atlon WITHIN the month.
Cost $4,000
The ward was constructed al
. cost Of $4,000 in the hospitals
psychiatric division to house ad-
diets committed for examination
II was never opened, however
for lack of staff.
When Congress passed Grim.
inal insanity laws last summer
providing for hospital rather
than jail examinations Of pris.
oners claiming mental illness
the question of providing security
for the prisoners arose. The
unused locked ward was sug-
eested but staining it has been
the stumbling block.
Currently the prisoners are
housed in the open wards Of
the psychiatric division.
Because Of the lack of security
Federal judges in two recent
cases committed prisoners to St
Elizabeths Hospital for mental
observation. One was COM
United on October 10. the other
on October II. but both are still
at District Jail.
Assistant United States At
torney John Conliff. jr.. said he
had just discovered that st.
Elizabeths could not take them
promptly for mental observation.
/ Lacks Security
1--WE have been trying to use
St. Elizabeths because we realize
District General Hospital lacks
security" he said, but If st.
Elizabeths can't take them, well
have to advise the court of that
fact and recommend commit
ment to District General"
| It has been estimated that it
would cost $4,000 for the rest
Of this year to staff the locked
ward. Commissioner Mclaughlin
said this win be made available.
/ He is still exploring another
possible source Of funds. When
he was turned down on deputy
marshals. q question was raised
about billing the marshal's office
on q per diem basis for the care
OF Federal prisoners In q District
institution. Commissioner Nc
Laughlin said he would look into
that.
