The tentative agreement calls
for the 7-inch rollers to be used

Roller applicators first made

Employers began putting 14-inch
rollers on long handles to do

Juvenile Crimes
Drop Sharply

Juvenile crime in the District
dropped sharply In the year
ended June 80, according to a
police department report COM
pleted yesterday.
The study shows a drop Of
23.5 per cent in the number of
Juvenile offenders sent to Ju-
venile Court by police during the
preceding 12-month period.
The report was prepared by
Inspector John E. Winters, head
of the Youth Aid Division. for
Police Chief Robert v. Murray.
Chief Murray plans to study the
report before releasing full de-
tails.
Deputy Police Chief Howard v.
Covell said that, Of all children
in the District under IS, only
2.6 per cent came into contact
with police during the year.
I'VE hear a lot of talk these
days about how many children
are getting into trouble and how
many juvenile delinquents there
ARE" Mr.. Covell said. But !
think this figure of 2.6 per cent
shows what q small minority
they really are"
Mr.. Covell said the percentages
are based on an estimated popu-
lation figure of 116.200 juveniles
between the ages Of Z and
~. He said the number Of jill
veniles sent to court in fiscal
1855 was LISA, compared to 3.294
in fiscal 1854. Total complaints
to police about juveniles dropped
in the same period from 5,994 to
Il. 1914.

The purpose Of the mission
was TO locate the hurricane geo.

winds and pass this information
on to weather bureaus and other
interested agencies.
The men. who are experienced
in penetrating hurricanes, APP

They found Diane whipping

spotted her from so miles away.

sharply the budget recommended
for the National Institute of
Mental Health.
He was Mike German. execu-

private group which he said
works closely with the States.
In testimony prepared for a

tration-backed measures de-
signed as a new attack on men
tai illness, Mr.. German said an
advisory committee to the Ma
tional Institute of Mental
Health had urged a budget of
$50 million for the year starting
July l.
yet the administration ig-
nored this recommendation and
proposes only $17,519,600," he
said.
Secretary of Welfare Hobby
told the subcommittee yester-
day that unless something more
is done to combat mental ill
ness lone out of every IL chill
dren born today will spend part
of his life in a mental hospital"
Mr.. German said also that
the administrations 1856 budget
contains mo increase over last
years figures for grants-in-aid
to research projects, and this in
spite of the fact that there are
research projects in all parts OF
the country which are being
held up because of lack OF
financing"
