Juvenile Home
Action Near

Northern Virginia governing
bodies are expected to establish
a commission to build and oper-
ate a juvenile detention home in
the nearby area within the next
month.
Joseph H. Freehill, chairman
of the Fairfax Board of County
Supervisors and chairman of the
Citizens Advisory Committee for
the home, said last night a pro-
posed resolution establishing the
commission will go before the
governing bodies before the end
of August.
The resolution approved by the
citizens committee calls for a
commission composed of seven
members, with two each from
Alexandria, Arlington and Fair
fax Counties, and one from Falls
Church.
Creation of the commission
was authorized by a new State
law which went into effect July
/. Leaders of the move for a
detention home are anxious to
get the project under way as
soon as possible.
Mr.. Freehill said the proposed
resolution will go to the North
ern Virginia Planning Commits
sion next week. The citizens
committee was appointed by the
regional planning body which
got planning for the home
started with a 1858 study which
pointed out the need.
After the planning commission
acts on the resolution, it will
be placed before the governing
bodies, Mr.. Freehill said.
A sum of $4,000 has been
set aside by the Jurisdictions for
construction of the home, but
the project has been held up by
opposition to its location and by
legal problems. The new bill was
passed to clear the legal hurdles.

New Company
Would Benefit
From Losses

The Capital Transit Co, is
pointing out to its stockholders
that a new company which is
planned would be able to turn
recent losses into profit from tax
deductions.
The proposal to continue IN
business under the name of The
Universal Corporation will be
voted on at a special stock
holders meeting August 8. That
meeting has been called to vote
on the sale of the transit COM
Ipany's assets to the o. Ray Chalk
group for $13,54O,0OO.
The company in its statement
to the stockholders says that it
will have substantial net operat-
ing losses which should be avail
able to offset earnings in the
next four or five years, thereby
saving corporation income taxes.
Losses of SIS Million
The company estimates these
bosses at $15,581 1851, which may
be turned into tax benefits. The
Offset of losses against earnings
in succeeding years, is a routine
matter permitted by the tax
laws.
If the company does not con-
tinue in business but liQuidates
its assets it will have for di-
vision. among the stockholders
the purchase price in cash and
notes to be paid by the Chalk
group. These amount to $14.10 q
share.
The advantage of continuing
in business is the possibility Of
otfsetting the losses against pos
ISible future earnings. The COM
pany'S statement puts it this
way:
Although dividends will con-
Itinue taxable to the stockholders,
the fund available for dividends
should be greatly enhanced as
the result of freedom of earn
Iings from tax at the corporate
level"
Taxes as High as 81 Per Cent
Corporate income taxes run as
high as Is per cent.
The company said that &C
cording to the books and tax
records of the company there
was a $4,481, 1863 loss for 1855.
This, presumably. was the re-
suit OF writing off the value of
the electric trolly system.
These losses, the company
said, may be available to offset
earnings through 1860.
The 1856 loss is estimated at
$l1.5 million which could be off,
set against earnings through
1860.
1.-THE amount of such loss in
cludes cost of franchise on which
agreement must be reached with
the Internal Revenue Service be-
fore the exact amount of loss
available can be known" the

Law Forbidding.
Duck Batting
Decision Reached
In Talk With Group
Of Sportsmen

ANNAPOLIS. July 81 B.-
The running controversy over
Maryland hunters batting ducks
is headed again for the General
Assembly.
Gov. McKeldin, a duck hunter
himself, said yesterday he would
seek legislation bringing State
laws into conformity with Fed
eral regulations which prohibit
using bait.
cts just a mistake for us to
be out Of step with all the other
States" the Governor said in
agreeing with a group Of sports
men who visited his Office to
complain about the Haunting of
Federal law.
Maryland regulations prohibit
scattering grain within 20 yards
of a duck blind but say nothing
about batting beyond that point.
Plenty of hunters do it and have
been outspokenly opposed to
Federal regulations which. their
opponents say supercede State
laws.
SO Seized Last Year
Federal agents arrested 86 of
them last year who were batting
within so yards of a blind, the
Governor was told.
"ThiS conflicting regulation
provides perfect atmosphere for
those who want to bait to do SO"
said Daniel Poole of the Wildlife
Management Institute, a ma
tional but non-Federal organiza-
ton. These people are law
violatorS."
Other spokesman told the Gov
ernor Maryland is the only State
that legally approves of batting.
McKeldin agreed the situation
is Outrageous" He said on a
duck hunting trip last year he
sat in a blind for two hours and
didn't get a shot, whereas a man
who used bait in the same area
boosted of having killed u ducks.
The legal bag limit is four.
"Seventy-two duckSI" Gov.
McKeldin repeated. why, that's
just slaughter"
Governor Enjoys Sport
The Governor took up duck
hunting three years ago and told
the group visiting him yester-
day II don't know of anything
! enjoy more"
He directed Ernest Vaughn,
director of the Department of
Game and Inland Fish, to con-
suit the attorney general about
drafting legislation to bring
State game laws into conformity
with Federal statues. He also
suggested Mr.. Vaughn contact
Legislative Council leaders about
possibility of introducing the
measure through the council.
A similar measure got a chilly
reception from the General As
sembly four years ago. Mr..
Vaughn said after drafting it he
couldn't even find a sponsor for
1t. AS a substitute, the Legisla-
ture passed a resolution pro-
hibiting batting within 200 yards
of a blind and this was incorpo-
rated into State regulations.
The bill wasn't being pushed
by the Governor then, however,
and didn't have activepbacking
of sportSmen clubs.

In Morgoy Attack on Son

be kept in the nursery away
from the margay and other pets.
Door Failure Cited
The only respect in which the
parents instructions failed to
work, the judge said, was that
the nursery door was less secure
than they thought it was. This
circumstance, he added, was in
SUFFICIENT basis for a finding of
criminal negligence.
Both County Policeman E. G.
HuSk and Chief r. M. Haislip of
Laurel, formerly with the county
departments, testified the nursery
door was warped and would not
close properly.
Mr.. Prescott said he had
closed the door as well as he
could before going to bed the
night before the attack but the
next morning found it open. Mr..
and Mrs. Perry testified they be-
lieve a dog, one Of their many
pets, had "nuzzled" the door
open, allowing the margay to
enter.
Mr.. Perry said he bought the
animal in the belief it was an
ocelot, which he said is a safe
house pet very similar in APP
pearance to the margay. The
animal later was identified as q
more dangerous margay.
Boy in Good Health
Mrs. Perry testified that her
son is now in good health and
added, II dno't believe the in
Jury will affect his walking"
Defense Attorney Ralph w.
Powers, in an early move in the
trial, lost his plea that the war
rants against the Perry's were
invalid.
Mr.. Powers was successful,
however, in his bid to have the
warrant against Mr.. Prescott dis
missed. Judge Gray said there
was a question whether Mr.. Pres
colt actually was a guardian"
of the children at the time.
The defense attorney pleaded
that the parents "have been pun
ished enough" He said ut is not
criminal to be eccentric or to
Exercise poor Judgment"

Trial Set Monday
In Licensing Row

BALTIMORE, July 81 P.-
The state attorney generals Of
flee disclosed yesterday that 81
homeopathic doctors have been
registered to practice medicine
and surgery in Maryland since
April, when court action was
started to halt licensing of such
doctors.
Three of them were registered
a week ago and one of them
was registered Thursday. All 80
were licensed by a so-called
trump" board Of homeopathic
medical examiners, whose validi-
Ity has been challenged in the
courts.
The 80 licenses were registered
in Prince Georges, Queen Annes,
Montgomery, Caroline and Dor
chester counties.
Last April, Deputy Atty. Gen.
Norman P. Ramsey alerted court
clerks throughout the State to
notify his Office Immediately if
such licenses were presented for
registration.
He said yesterday that the 80
licenses were registered without
notification to the attorney gen.
erals Office.
After a doctor receives his Ii
Icense from the State examining
board he must register it with a
county clerk before he can hang
out his shingle and begin tc
practice.
According to records in the
Attorney Generals Office, no Ii.
cense has been issued by the
board since July IL.

a member OF the 10th District
Democratic Committee said yes
terday that "unfounded protests
of party actions are helping tc
destroy the party" in Northern
Virginia.
The statement by Lytton Glib
son of Falls Church was made at
a meeting called by the commit
tee to judge a protest to the June
18 election of Arlington delegates
to the State Democratic Conven-
ton.
The committee dismissed the
complaint. ruling that the cleo

valid. The election represented a
victory for a conservative slate
proposed at the county conven-

Mr.. GibSon's statement fol-
