perts, punched out the dial Of

engineer later recovered, slightly
scorched, from a furnace.
Police we're unable to de-
termine how the safe-crackers
got into the place unless they
were in a part Of the building

Smarting under the impos-

Both his laughter and the

foment remains.
It evidences itself in the
search for improvement; in
what some still scott at as
civic pride, and - in Wash
ington-national pride; in the
little pricks of discomfort at
the lack Of change, and dis
may at change. This seems
a boom year for it.

listened. Then he notified States
Attorney Smith.
Tuesday night the youth was
taken to Upper Marlboro from
the training school at Loeb
Raven. At 2 am. yesterday, he
was removed to the Seat Pleas
amt police headquarters.
From that point until late last
might, an air of high mystery
and excitement hung over the
police station. Police Chief
George Panagoulis would only
hint at a major break in some
ease.
Crime Re-enacted
Early yesterday, before news
men were aware Of develop
ments, the suspect was taken to
Northwest Branch Park to re-
enact the crime.
Mr., Smith said he was told by
detectives the youth generally
knew the ground on which the
murders occurred, 'but was un-
familiar with parts of it."
While the boy talked-police
said he talked freely, remained
calm at all times-detectives
were dispatched to check various
angles. 1t. Earl j. Huber, who
has been working on the case
steadily for a year, requested
assistance of the Navy's Deep
Sea Diving School. -
Ten divers went into action
from IL am. to 4 pm, cropping
Through 10-foot water south of
the bridge. They found mud 8
feet thick, but little else. It is
possible the search will be re-
sumed today.
AS detectives carefully went
over every facet of the new dis
closures, it was finally decided
to bring in psychiatrists.
Psychiatrists Called
DR.. John M. Arthur of Balti-
more, arrived in the afternoon
and remained for three hours,
leaving at 6 pm. His only COM
ment to newsmen was a laconic:
IT have nothing to say. ! can
tell you nothing at this time"
In the early evening DR.. I.
Howard Kaiser of the staff of
Georgetown University and Dis
trict General Hospital arrived.
DR.. Kaiser later said he had
reached a tentative conclusion"
but felt there still were some
fringe uncertainties" He as
Isumed he would be asked to talk
to the boy again. DR.. Kaiser
concluded last nights interview
at IL pm.
At that time, the youth was
taken to Baltimore city police
headquarters by 1t. Huber. In
spector Vincent S. Free, DR..

Itives. tsN
1t was presumed he was to be

to go next.
Once when it was raining hard
outside and other children were
waiting to be called for, someone
at the settlement house asked
k/s how he would get his brood
home.
Stalls for Time
Jerry said he Guessed someone
would be coming to pick them up
in a car. Actually, there was no
one to come, much less a car,
He entertained the children in
the lobby until it stopped raining.
The younger children all look
up to Jerry. At the neighbour

The group work program has

particularly David. who is IL
and wouldn't mix. He sat in
the back of the room, walked a
block behind everyone and
wouldn't talk. Then someone
gave him a little job of sweeping
leaves from the picnic area.
Somehow that increased his
confidence. He began to take
part and gradually is unfolding.
The children's mother is graft

youngsters since Jerry has been

Legislation to regulate and
license pawnbrokers in the Dis
trict will come up for more pub
lie hearings soon before a Sem
ate District subcommittee.
This was agreed to late yes
terday by the Business and
Commerce subcommittee headed
by Senator Beall, Republican Of
Maryland. after an all-day hear
ing on six different District bills.
Three of the six measures
were agreed to and reported to
the full Senate District Com
mittee for action at a meeting
for which q definite date has
not yet been set.
Name for Bridges
They would:
Designate the two Fourteenth
street bridges, one Of which still
lis to be built, as the Roctambeau
Memorial Bridges.
Relieve buyers of defective
automobiles who had paid the
excise tax on the original pur-
chase Of car, from paying the
full excise tax on a second car
replaced by the seller.
Set up a revolving fund be-
ginning at $4,000 to enable the
District Government to pur-
chase and sell maps, regulations
and regulation manuals Of the
city Government under a more
efficient system.
The pawnbrokers bill provoked
spirited discussion between As
sistant Corporation Counsel
Irving Bryan, and Inspector
Edgar E. Scott, chief of detec-
tives of the Metropolitan Police
Department, who wanted the
pending measure amended to
give the police more power to
find stolen goods.
Text Defended
Mr.. Bryan, speaking for the
District Commissioners, who had
approved the measure. and
Senator Allott, Republican OF
Colorado, who introduced the
measure, defended the pending
text of the bill as suficient.
An identical pawnbrokers bill
has been approved on the Other
side Of the Capitol by the House

proved a bill which would re-
quire the District to share with
Maryland and Virginia the
maintenance costs of the pro-
Ijected Jones Point bridge to
Alexandra.
It would mean an outlay Of
about $4,000 a year.
In less than an hour and with
out a single objection, the
Senate also passed IA other Dis
ltrict bills.
They would:
Prescribe the weight of evil
dence to be given chemical and
other scientific tests given to
drivers accused of drunk driving.
Provide liberalization Of the
pensions of retired school teach
erS.
Importance Stressed
Senator Morse, Democrat Of
Oregon. made a special point Of
stressing the Importance Of the
drunk driving test bill. He
brought out that the District
Commissioners would suspend
the license Of any accused driver
who refuses to submit to the
blood, urine or breath tests to
ascertain the alcoholic content
in his system.
On this point he told the
Senate:
There is growing evidence of
too much driving in the District
by persons who have taken a
cocktail or two and can't handle
it. The time has come to get
tough. We must protect the in
nocent from the alcoholic driver.
We must do all we can to reduce
accidents and fatalities"
The teacher retirement bill
now goes to the White House
for signature. 1t provides for
increases in retired teacher an
nuities ranging from 2 to IL
lper cent, depending upon the
time of retirement under a for
lmula in the measure. The first
year cost of the liberalized sys-
item is estimated at about $751;
1900. The measure applies to an
teachers and school officers now
retired or who may be retired
prior to December 81, 1857. It
is designed to parallel the Civil
Service Retirement Act OF 1880
as amended.

1.-THE Senate are those which
would:
Liberalize the retirement Of
the judge of the District of
Columbia Tax Court by increas-
ling the term Of the judge from
4 to 10 years, permit the re-

When the Beall subcommittee
adjourned late yesterday after
noon nine more witnesses listed

the pawnbrokers bill had not yet
been reached. So Senator Beall
scheduled another public hear
ling to listen to them at q date
lyet to be fixed.
The pawnbroker bill, as ex-
Iplained by Mr.. Bryan at the
hearing, is designed to regulate
this business in the District. as
Ian outgrowth of developments
here which virtually had driven

THE ARGUMENTS for the
moves to the suburbs should
not be overlooked, but they
should be overwhelmed by
the one clear fact that Wash
ington is the seat of Govern
rnent, and the Government
should be in Washington.
The best evidence of this is
the buSloads Of high school
youngsters who flock to
Washington in the spring.
They come not to see another
river or another set of roads
and streets. They come to see
the Washington that has con-
tanned their Government for
156 years, and they expect to
find it here.
The city was built on a
solid foundation.
The British invaded the
young National Capital only
nine years after Thomas

CONGRESS HEARS the TO-
ment in the proposals for a
National Civic Center, a Ma
tional Medical Library and a
National Stadium. The Smith
sonian is after a long list Of
things, including a National
Air Museum.
The National Gallery Of
Art, with the addition of the
KreSs collections, has taken
another step toward bolster
ing its growing international
prestige.
The Citizens zoning Advi-
sorry Committee, recognizing
the Importance of the peoples
voice in the future of their
city, is taking its plans for a
general rezoning to a series of
meetings with the public this
week and next.
But there still are some
with little faith in the city's
future. The sharpest recent
foment in this connection has
come from the National Capt.
tai Planning Commission,
touched of By the Bureau of
Standards plan to move to
Montgomery County.
The commission feels,
rightly, that Washington is
the seat of Government, a
nerve center which should not
spread itself too thin, and the
Government agencies should
stop their willy-nilly moves to
the suburbs.
1t is understandable how
institutions like the Bethesda
Naval Hospital and the Ma
tional Institutes of Health
might seek a more serene
setting.
But the Bureau of Stand
ards and the Central Intelli-
gence Agency? They have no
more business outside Wash
ington than the General Ac-
counting Office, which has
found that downtown Wash
ington is quite satisfactory
for its SPRAYING Office build

Georgian Seeks
.NAACP Probe

ATLANTA. Ga. Aug. 7 o.
Attorney General Eugene Cook
has proposed legislative inves-
tigation as the first step in a
campaign to outlaw the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People.
He released yesterday a pro-
posed resolution which would
create a legislative committee
with broad powers to subpoena
records of the NAACP and SINH
lar organizations.
Unlike some other States, Mr..
Cook said in prepared state
ment, Georgia's present laws
are not broad enough to obtain
the necessary legal information
or to punish and restrain any
illegal and improper operations
by such organizations"
Means for Restraint
But the proposed resolution,
he added, will afford appropri-
ate officials necessary means of
restraining the ruthless and
probably illegal drive of the
lNAACP to destroy constitutional
government and our traditional
pattern of racial segregation"
He said the resolution lis only
the beginning Of my efforts as
Attorney General to establish
the fact that such organizations
as NAACP should be outlawed."
In Alabama, the NAACP re-
Gently was fined 100000 for re-
fusing to proouce records in an
investigation by the attorney
general.
Penalties Provided
Mr.. Cooks resolution would
authorize the legislative COM
mittee to subpoena records and
