Recommendation Hailed.
The Washington Home Rule
Committee hailed with hope the
Presidents recommendation to
Congress.
In q statement the group said
it was encouraged" by the mes
sage in the Presidents state-of-
the Union message.
"All responsible Americans
should be able to VOTE" said
the committee. ''and the fact
that we live in the Nations Cap
ital should be no bar to that
privilege. These steps in the
Presidents program are essen-
tial for other reasons also.
'The future development and
vitality Of the city can be as
sured only If the citizens of
Washington can work together
effectively on the local problems
that confront the District. We
need home rule to do the job.

hower's recommendation yester-
day for extension Of self-govern-
ment and the right of suffrage to
Washingtonians. The House
District Committee for years has
killed all legislation for home
rule and self-government here.
While legislation for home
rule win be considered by House
and Senate District Committees.
national suffrage bills win go
to the House and Senate judi
ciary Committees.
There are three other vacan-
cies on the District group, be-
cause of members who did not
return to the 84th Congress.

publican, Of Missouri, and Rep
resentative Hagen. Republican,

fauver in the Senate primary OF
that State.
One candidate for a District
Committee post is newcomer.
Representative Reuss, Democrat.
Of Wisconsin, who has listed that
group as his choice for q second
committee.
Legislation for an elected nom
voting Delegate in the House
already has been introduced by
Representative Auchincloss, Re-
publican. of New Jersey. and is
before the District Committee. A
similar measure, passed by the
Senate last Congress, was killed
by that committee.

Mr.. Auchincloss. long q strong
advocate of home rule for WASH

Delegate bill instead of q home
rule measure. because he wanted

Congresst Asked
To Increase Benefits
For District Jobless

The administration will intro
duce legislation at this session OF
Congress to provide broader uIa-
compensation bene-
fits to District workers.
President Eisenhower gave this
pledge in his state-of -the-U Union
message yesterday.
The President made only brief
and general reference to the
subject. A Labor Department of
fetal said today that nothing
definite" had been decided on
what liberalizing provisions ara
to be incorporated into the
measure.
It was learned, however, that
the administration seeks three
changes in existing unemploy-
ment compensation laws here:
l. Raise the maximum amount
of jobless benefits from the
present figure Of one-third OF
the workers yearly pay to one
half.
2. Permit workers who quit
their jobs to be compensated
sooner than at present.
3. Guarantee unemployed
workers the maximum pay bene-
fitS to which they are entitled.
President Eisenhower last
September indicated new legis-
lation would be introduced. He
expressed dissatisfaction with
the bill he signed into law rais-
ing jobless pay benefits to $50
per week for 26 weeks over the
Districts previous $40 for 20
weeks level.

"This report says you have not
yet learned your lesson. The
best way we can help you is
through a period of training at
the National Training School.
You will learn a trade and I
hope you will learn how to con-
troll yourself. But remember, the
school can't make you learn
unless you want to.
But this experience may we'll

Picked Up for Speeding.
"A l7-year-old boy was ar
rested last December 19 and ac-
cused of failing to yield the
right Of way when the vehicle
he drove struck a taxicab. Before
that he had been picked up
doing SO miles per hour in a
25-mile -per-hour zone.
The boy 4 admitted speeding
but denied he was at fault in
the accident. When Judge
Cockrill questioned him about
his previous driving record. he
admitted he had been sent to
Traffic School for passing at an
intersection.
What good is it If you 60 to
traffic school and if you don't
learn these things? Why did you
speed?"
Il don't know" said the boy.
VINO then recited a section of
the traffic regulations which
pointed out that a car going 38
miles per hour cannot stop in
as short as distance as one go
ing IS miles per hour.
Judge Cockrill fined him SO
for speeding and ordered him to
pay the fine himself and not let
his parents pay the money. She
continued the accident case
until Friday.
Identities Barred.
Judge Cockri,l's conditions OF
press coverage limit reporters to
courtroom proceedings in juve-
nile cases with the understand
ing that no names, address. pho
tographs or other material which

The jurist ruled out interviews
with persons coming before the
court and interviews with mem
bers of her staff.
Judge Cockrill further speci-
fed that reporters may be barred
from specific hearings "if in the
Judgment of the court publicity
of any kind would be undesir-
able due to the nature Of such
hearings, or would result in un-
due embarrassment or possibly
have detrimental effects upon
the persons involved.

Mother Filed Complaint.
One lad was sent to the Ma
tional Training School. A social
worker recalled that last June
his mother had filed a complaint
that he was beyond control but
that she refused to follow up on
it. Afterward he was sent to
live with his uncle and 60 to
school in Alabama but then re-
turned to Washington. Again a
complaint was made that he
was uncomfortable and he was
picked up and sent to the Re-
ceiving Home after he had stolen
SIS from a neighbor.
In court this morning his
mother told Judge Cockrill she
feared he had been taking dope
for the last few weeks.
The mother wanted him ex-
amined. The boy told Judge
Cockrill that his father drives a
bus in Maryland and that the
father, separated from his
mother, told him he would give
her $25 toward the support of
the family II he could come and
get it.
II didn't dare ask Mom," the
boy pleaded, because she would
ask me why I wanted the money
and then she wouldn't let me go.
So I happened to go into the
neighbor's house and I saw $25
in a can. Il took that.
Il know all Of this is hard on
my maw, not having my father.
It's Just a strain that she just
starts arguing with US all, but
don't think she means any harm
by it."
Didn't Keep up Visits.
Judge Cockrill took note Of
the social workers report which
said he had failed to keep up
on his visits to his probation
officer.
You are almost an adult, :"
the jurist told him. you must
learn to respect the property Of
others and learn how to keep
out Of trouble. Until you learn
that you will continue to get in
trouble and YOU should know
that you are almost an adult.

Watkins Asks Speed
On Fair Play Rules
For Senate Probes


Early Senate action on pro-
posed fair play" rules for Sem
ate investigating committees
was urged today by Senator
Watkins, Republican. Of Utah.
He said in an interview that
reforms in committee procedures
stand "a much better chance"
Of adoption II the Senate con-
siders them before other legisla-
ton begins to pile UP.
A Rules Committee headed by
Senator Jenner, Republican. of
Indiana submitted yesterday a
report recommending u changes
in Senate rules to govern investi-
eating committees.
A short time later Senator
Watkins introduced four changes
which had been proposed by the
special bipartisan committee
that recommended censure of
Senator Mccarthy, Republican,
Of Wisconsin, and described the
proposals as the minimum re-
quired to reform committee pro-
cedureS.
Urges Prompt Action.
Senator Watkins said the
groups proposals were not
pressed in the last session partly
because Of the comprehensive
study the Jenner subcommittee
was making of codes of fair
play" for investigating commit
tees. But he said he believed
that prompt action should be
taken now.
Senator Jenner, outgoing
chairman of the rules commit
tee. said he was hopeful that the
unarimity reached by the SUBJ
committee in its report would
win acceptance of its recommen-
dations.
Senator Green, Democrat, of
Rhode Island. in line to succeed
Senator Jenner as rules COM
nlittee chairman. said he hadn't
seen the proposals and didn't
know how quickly any action
might be taken.
The rules subcommittee, COM
posed Of Senators Carlson, Re-
publican, Of Kansas, and Hay
den. Democrat, Of Arizona in
addition to Senator Jenner, said
. its report was based on the be-
lief that effectiveness in fact
finding is welded to fairness in
procedure"
Tries to Strike Balance.
It called the investigative
process essential to the preser-
walton of our free institutions"
but it said it had tried to strike
a balance between preserving
this function and fair treatment
Of witnesses.
s4 =
Under the rules change 1t pros
posed. any person who felt his
reputation had been adversely
affected at public hearing
could request to testify in his
own behalf or could file sworn
statement. The committee would
decide what to do with such re-
quests or statements.
Another change would require
that witnesses be notified in ad-
vance OF their appearance of the
subject matter of the investiga-
tion,, although this would not
limit the scope of the interroga-
tion at the hearings
The committee chairmen would
be required by another proposal
to report to the Senate the gem
eral nature of investigations they
intended to undertake. And un-
der another proposed rule, con-,
f1icts in jurisdiction between in
vestigating committees would be
settled in the Senate.
Other Recommendations.

subcommittee would permit spe-
cial meetings to be called by
