LIGHTHOUSE GETS OWN PAINT

CAPE ELIZABETH, Maine-(P)
-Oft-photographed, oft-painted old
Portland Head Light had to wait
nearly 165 years for its own new
coat of paint.
The famed lighthouse, a pioneer
U. S. public works project, was
painted when it went into service
in 1891. Periodically ever since, it
has been whitewashed. The mex
pensive process was right in line
with the frugality attending its
erection, when President George
Washington ordered the 80-fOOt
tower built of local field-stOne and
brick by Portland-area stone mas
Ons.
Not long ago science developed a
plastic vinyl weather-resistant
paint, since adopted to coat aids
to navigation. Coast guards rig
ged bOs'ns' chairs and applied
about so gallons of the new-fangled
-white-tO the spray drench-
ed, rock-bedded old beacon.

Judge CockriII Says
She Hesitates 10 Send
Children TO Welfare

Juvenile Court Judge Edith
Cockrill findS such overcrowd-
ing in the Welfare Department
institutions. especially the Re-
ceiving Home. that she hesitates
to commit children to the de-
partment.
Judge Cockrill said yesterday
that she has refused to COM
NIT to the Welfare Department
children she felt should be under
it's supervision because she knew
the children would be put in
the Receiving Home
Deciding whether child
should be sent to the Welfare
Department or returned to an
inadequate home kept her awake
all Tuesday night. Judge Cock
rill said at a meeting of citizens
interested in improving the home
II was sick when I got up this
morning. The things I had to
decide in court today made me
even sicker." the judge said.
In addition to her legal re-
sponsibility to get children who
menace the community of the
streets. Judge Cockrill said, she
has a moral responsibility to-
ward the child involved.
Yesterday she asked the spe-
cial committee of interested
citizens and experts in the child
welfare field what they thought
she should do. No one present
made any suggestions.
Noting that a child sent to
the Districts Industrial Home
School at Blue Plains gets out
in an average of three and one
half months. Judge Cockrill said:
Il might as well not commit him
at all. He just comes back ito
court) and back and back"
Choosing between an made
quate home and an inadequate
institution results in the child's
being charged off as loss either
way, Judge Cockrill told the
group.
Judge Cockrill said she posed
the same question to the District
Commissioners after riot in
the Receiving Home December 1,
but has received no answer in
the four months since then.

length of time. That is not the
place for her."
Turning to the parents, the
judge stated: Il must be honest
with you and say that what I'VE
are attempting to work out here
today Is not what the girl needs
but is the best that is available
to U.S."
In another case Judge Cock
rill placed a young alien on
probation, after a social worker
told the court his father, tenn
porarily employed in this coun-
try. does not understand the
customs here.
The boy was accused Of pos
sessing a switch blade knife.
after he was picked UP for dis
orderly conduct on a streetcar
last month.
The boy already has been on
probation. Judge Cockrill agreed
to further probation after the
boys attorney told her he would
be sent to an out-of-State board
ing school for training.
Student Blames School
A junior high school student,
brought into court because of
truancy from school, told Judge
Cockrill he was sent home from
school because he wore dun
garees.
1t was pointed out, however,
that the Welfare Department
obtained special permission from
the school for him to wear dun
garees because of his family's
poverty.
Although Judge Cockrill COM
mitted him to the custody of the
Welfare Department. she COM
mented that. "as long as you have
clean clothes. I find it a serious
question that they can tell you
that you can't come to public
school,"

Committee 10 Seek
More Staff Leaders
AT Receiving Home

A committee of three was to
talk to the District Commission
ers today. urging that something
be done about the District Re-
ceiving Home for Children.
The three represent group
of citizens and professionals
that met yesterday. The group
has no name. but includes civic
and welfare leaders.
The only thing they could
find that would Immediately
help the dangerously overcrowd-
ed home is the hiring of three
more group leaders to improve
the recreation and crafts pro-
gram for the 80 children that
are stuffed into quarters de-
signed for 43 at the Receiving
Home.
Seek Employment Funds
The committe of three today
was to recommend that the
Commissioners find the money
about $12.61S-needed to hire
three more such workers, some
where in the appropriated funds
of the District.
Welfare Director Gerard M.
Shea told the larger group that
such a program was the only
help available for the home until
July l. when the expanded facil-
tiles at the Juvenile Training
School at Laurel, Md. are ex-
pected to be available.
Mr.. Shea said that 80 per cent
Of the children now in the Re-
ceiving Home who shouldn't be
there would be taken out when
the Juvenile Training School
is completed.
The group was also urged by
its members to work toward a
longer-range program of fight
ing juvenile delinquency.
Opinions Expressed
Among the views expressed:
DR.. Addison v. Duval, assistant
superintendent of st. Elizabeths
Hospital: No group is pushing a
co-ordinated program of helping
children across the community.
Such a group, if set up, or in
cluded in an existing group.
should have the respect of the
Commissioners to make them CO.
operate in a broad program of
stopping this sort of trouble be-
fore it starts. Such a group
would set up priorities on needed
services and a program for ac-
complishing them.
Fred S. Kogod, vice chairman,

Public Welfare Advisory Council: !:
The Welfare Department has
made tremendous strides in the
right direction since 1914. when
he Joined the then Board Of Pub

wrong with the program that
money couldn't cure. The de-
partment deals with trouble: it
therefore is in trouble all the

him.

Juvenile Court Judge Edith H.
Cockrill yesterday committed a
16-year- -old girl in need of
psychiatric treatment to the
Welfare Department but blasted
the departments lack of facili-
ties for such treatment.
The girl, according to a court
social worker. had run away
from home Is times last year
and had been picked up in bus
and gas stations in the District
and in Maryland. Last month
she was picked up in Union Sta
ton with a fully packed suit
case.
The social worker testified the
sociological investigation showed
the child was unstable and that,
unless adequate treatment was
given, her condition could turn
into acute psychosis."
Parents Ask Another Chance
Although the girls parents
pleaded with Judge Cockrill to
give the girl another chance at
home, the jurist asked a Welfare
Department representative If the
District had facilities for such a
case
mo-" was the reply.
Another Welfare Department
worker in the room said there
were two out-of-town institu-
tions the department could use,
but they are tremendously ex-
pensive."
I'VE don't have the money"
she added
Afterwards the department
representative left the courtroom
to make a telephone call and
returned with the information
that a private charitable insti-
tution-the House of Good Shep-
herd, a Catholic charities group
would be able to care for the
girl.
Cites Need Of Treatment
Judge Cockrill declared the girl
needs urgent treatment and con-
troll and that, in committing her
to the custody Of the Welfare
Department, ''it is not my in

visions into their constitutions. Some have gone so far as to speci- fly the number and types of state educational institutions. Such de- tailed provisions have sometimes retarded the progress of public education and caused unnecessary friction.
 tlD Public Highways. The usual state constitutional provision calls for the establishment of particu- lar administrative machinery and in some instances earmarks spec ial tax funds for highway uses.
 (l2) Miscellaneous Provisions on corporations, banks, public utili- ties, railroads, monopolies, trusts, etc. These provisions are ordinar- fly regulatory in nature. Boards and commissions are often consti- tutionally created to administer the regulatory sections.
 t13) Amendment and Revision. All constitutions make some pro vision for amendment. They range from the extremely difficult to the extremely simple.
 Coverage of Topics in
 The Alaska Constitution
 Which of these topics, or others, should be covered in the Alaska Constitution? This is a question to which the citizen must address himself with some care. In many cases it is not an issue of whether or not the topic should be includ- ed but, rather, the detail of the treatment it receives which is important.
 For example, a general provi- sion granting power to the legis- lature to regulate trusts and mo- nopolies may be fit matter for a constitution, but provision that grants the power and then speci- fies in great detail the administra- tive and mechanical features for carrying out the regulatory pur pose would not ordinarily be a proper item for constitution.

Should Have Fired Macarthur 5 Years Sooner Truman

CHICAGO, R-Former Presi- dent Truman says he wishes he had fired Gen. Douglas MacAr- thur two years sooner.
 That, he said, is the only Ire pentence" he has had for remov- ing Macarthur as supreme com mander in Korea on April II, 1851.
 The 71-year-old Truman, who recently cancelled two California speeches, reportedly because of his health, made the statement in a question-and-answer period fol- lowing an address before the Ex- ecutives Club of Chicago Friday
 Truman fired Macarthur on grounds he was unable to give wholehearted support" to the pol icies of the United Nations and the Truman Administration in the conduct of the. Korean War.
 A questioner asked why United Nations forces in Korea did not drive to the Yalu River "as Mac Arthur said they could" instead of halting at the 38th Parallel.
 Macarthur never was ordered to stop at the 38th Parallel" Tru- man retorted. There were a mil lion and a half Chinese between him and the Yalu River and he couldn't get through them"
 JUN. forces had reached the Yalu earlier in the war, only to be forced back when China entered the conflict.
 A MacArthur aide in New York said there would be no immediate comment from the general on Truman's remarks.
 Truman reiterated he wouldn't accept the 1856 Democratic nom ination under any circumstances.
 He said Stevenson telephoned him from New York and that 1T told him if he announced for Pres ident I would be for him"
 Truman described Gov. Allan Shivers of Texas, who bolted the 1852 Democratic convention as mot Democrat-he's a Shivers- crat."
