ing additional staff. The in
crease requested would enable
the commission to carry out its
enlarged program authorized un-
der the 1852 act of Congress. But
the House committee yesterday
allowed only $4,000, the same
amount appropriated for this
current fiscal year.
John Nolen, jr., executive di-
rector of the planning commits

ously approved program.

Senate Group Drops
PIanfor New Hearing
On Receiving Home

The Senate Juvenile Delin-
quency Subcommittee has de-
cided not TO hold another hear
ing on the Districts danger
ously crowded Receiving Home
for Children at this time.
The subcommittee twice has
branded conditions in the home
as a national disgrace. When
Senator Hendrickson, Repub-
lican, of New Jersey was It's
chairman, he testified at a hear
ing on the District public works
program in favor of expanding
the Receiving Home.
$550,00O Was Appropriated.
AS a result of the subcommit-
tees investigation and an in
tensive campaign by The Star,
$550.000 was appropriated to
expand the home.
That money has been available
for nine months, but the District
has not acted.
The decision against a new
Senate hearing on the home and
why nothing has been done about
it was made yesterday. James
H. Bobo, the subcommit-
tees general counsel, said the
change was due to the agreement
by District officials Friday on a
compromise plan involving a
lesser expansion of the home and
construction Of a separate new
institution.
A hearing could be held later
Mr.. Bobo said, "if we think we
can help them (the District
officials)."
Efforts Will Continue
Although the subcommittee is
for the moment at least, out of
the Receiving Home investigative
picture, District Welfare workers
and private citizens are continu-
ing their efforts.
Welfare Director Gerard NJ
Shea has his staff gathering in
formation about what population
can be expected for the home
over the next five years. This,
with details on the kind Of pro-
gram the department wants to
run at the home, will be given
to Construction Supt. Archie G.
Hutson so he can decide how
much of an addition will be
needed.
