Boy in II Law Violations
Sent to Training School

| A 15-year-old colored boy, who
has been involved in IL law vio-
lations in the last five years.
yesterday was committed to the
National Training School for
Boys by Juvenile Court Judge
Edith H. Cockrill.
The boy was arrested on No.
vember 2 and was charged with
taking Sc from a purse in a home
he burglari5ed. He admitted the
charge.
A Juvenile Court worker said
the youth evidently has little
conception of the seriousness of
the crimes he committed and is
not at all impressed with the
rights Of others.
Judge Cockrill committed an
other colored boy. II. to the
training school after a probation
officer testified he did not think
the court could help the youth,
He said the boy was found in
volved in an assault on police
officer and later in a charge of
carrying dangerous weapon
a knife.
/ The boys attitude toward law
and order has not been helped
by his mother. the probation
worker said. The mother was
convinced the court was wrong
ito find her son involved in the
original assault and she told
police they had arrested the
wrong boy.
The oldest OF nine children.
the boy lives at home and has
not worked since he quit school
1914 months ago.

family pattern of behavior was

tions. A court worker said the

Aim to Broaden Tax Base
The approach-geared to get
light industry into the county
lis being taken in an effort to
broaden the county's tax base
which now depends largely on
residential properties.
Properties other than residen-
tial usually are of a tax surplus
nature and yield more taxes than
they require in government serv-
ices.
The PEPCO plant is of this
type and is expected to demand
little in new government services
Mr.. Reese said.
Its location in the county, the
manager believes, will be an in
ducement to other industries and
governmental agencies to locate
in Montgomery. where plenty of
power will be available.
5000 Signed Petition
Montgomery's efforts to get
the plant had strong support
from political leaders, LEGISLATORS
and a special citizens commit
tee that. with the help of the
Bethesda Chamber of Commerce,
obtained more than 5000 petition
Isigners urging PEPCO to locate
its plant in the county to which
it provides service.
PEPCO did not elaborate on
its plans for the new plant in
Montgomery. but as originally
proposed for Loudoun County
! it calls for a 500 million 10-year
building program that would
produce a plant with a 600, 900
kilowatt capacity. The first
stage was expected to cost $50
million. The first two units
originally planned for the LOU
doun site were to go into opera
