House Committee to Map
School Probe Next Week
Davis PLANNING
To Hire Counsel
For Inquiry
By HAROLD B. ROGERS

Chairman Davis of the newly
appointed six member House
subcommittee to investigate jul
venile delinquency and lowered
standards in the public schools
said today he plans to call the
first session of his group early
next week to chart a course Of
action.
The Georgia Democrat, who
has taken a prominent role in-
vestigating crime in the National
Capital and sponsoring legiSla-
ton to tighten law enforcement,
said he feels the new subcom-
mittee should hire a full-time
counsel.
THE task with which the SUBJ
committee is charged he said.
"iS of sufficient Importance to
need a very high-clasS. capable
man to serve as counsel"
II think we should make every
effort to get such a competent
lawyer for the committee"
Davis Picked Yesterday
Mr.. Davis. a former judge and
still chairman of the House Dis
trict Crime Subcommittee, was
selected chairman of the new
siX-member group late yesterday
by District Committee Chairman
Mcmillan. Democrat of South
Carolina.
Mr.. Mcmillan increased the
membership of the subcommit-
tee from the original five ordered
by the full committee to six. This
was done, he said, to make the
new investigative unit bi-parti-
san, so there could be no charges
of political domination.
The Davis subcommittee con-
siSts of the Georgia chairman.
Representatives Williams, Dem
ocrat of Mississippi, who made
the motion to set up the unit;
Representative Jones. Democrat
Iof North Carolina, and Republic
can Representatives Miller Of
Nebraska, Broyhill of Virginia

Effects of Indignation
!. There have been clear indica-
tionS the new Investigators will
look closely into the effects Of
Indignation of the public schools.
Representative Williams has
been making a careful study of
this subject. When he moved
ito launch the new investigation,
he read from correspondence
with officials of the school sys-
ITEM here. 1t showed he had
been refused certain statistics.
Several members of the full
committee, according to Chair
man Mcmillan, had received re-
ports from District residents,
particularly parents, complaint
ing about conditions in the
schools. Juvenile delinquency
here not associated with school
pupils also has stirred the con-
Germ of members of the full Dis
trict Committee.
The only outSpoken critic Of
the new probe of delinquency
and the school system has been
Representative Wier, Democrat
OF Minnesota, a member of the
District Committee, who said he
did not vote for the investiga-
ton.

Treatise on Noise
Brings Some Echoes
BY JACK JONAS

Spring housewife, abandoned
her pots and pans for a day
and says it's all the fault of
this column.
After reading the Memorial
Day story here about the
sounds of the city, she sat
down and spent the day
writing a piece about the
sounds of the suburbs. Very
nice, too.
And Frank j. Luchs, the
builder, says the most impor-
tant sound of all was over
looked-"the sound of steam
Shovels, bulldozerS, automatic
hammers indicating the
growth of our city"
All of this is by way of lead
ing up to Priscilla'S fine effort.
Priscilla is Priscilla Rock
well, a 7-year-old second grade
pupil in Timber Lane School
in Fairfax County.
Her teacher, Mrs. Anna
Young, read the sounds"
story to the class and then
asked the pupils to write
something, anything they
wished. This-showing what
little girl hears as she drops
off to sleeps what Priscilla
wrote:

Name
Why do they call it Silver
Spring?
This area got its name
some time in the 1S4OS be-
cause a man fell from his
horse.
Francis Preston Blair,
editor of the Globe news
paper, was riding out Sew
enth street pike-n0w GeOr-
gia avenue-just beyond the
District line, when the ami
NAL threw him. He pursued
the horse into a thicket, and
there found a bubbIing
spring, with the water run
ming over a silvery cOmbina-
ton of sand and mica.
He bought the land in
that area and named it
Silver Spring.

This seems like as good a
day as any to talk about Santa
Claus beard.
Santa, whose other stage
name is Lucky S. Squire, was
here the other day advertising
some upcoming movie called
Toy Tiger" and, honest, his
beard is real-long and flowing
but neatly trimmed.
''Proteins and vitamins," he
said, hauling a complicated
vitamin chart from his brief
case. "Physiotherapy. And,
of course, the ladies in the
Fifth avenue beauty parlors."
Mr.. Squire, who's worked
mostly for Macy's in New
York, puts a lot of time into
being Santa Claus. When he
isn't studying his vitamin
charts and having the beauty
parlor ladies pamper his
beard, he's buttering up the
chefs in fancy restaurants.
Have to keep my profess
sional girth," he says.
1t pays off. Mr.. Squire was
strolling along F street on his
visit here, and small boy
saw him.
II want to talk to Santa
Claus" the boy said.
Don't be ridiculous!" his
mother told him. Then she
looked in the same direction he
was looking. Good heavenS!"

More LocuI Powers
Asked at Hearing Of

BY MARY LOU WERNER

| - ACvSA AtAAAOA 0AA III S1GdbCt
local taxing powers was made
today by Northern Virginia
spokesman appearing before the
Commission on State and Local
Revenues at a hearing in Alex
andria.
The hearing is the third in
a series planned throughout the
State by the commission that
was set up at the last General
Assembly session to study tax
sources particularly sales tax
One of the first speakers was
Laszlo Ecker-Racz, chairman OF
the Northern Virginia Regional
Fiscal Survey Committee.
Cites Growth to Come,
He told the commission that
Northern Virginia's growing need
for services has required a
higher than average local tax
effort" Citing growth still to
come, he added:
Under the best of conditions
difficult times are ahead. Large
new areas will have to be
Supplied with all variety of mu-
Iaicipal facilities and services,
substantial gaps remain also in
established areas.
1.-THE success with which these
needs are satisfied will depend
in part in the extent of State
and Federal assistance, it will
depend to a large degree also

ARE granted the legislative au-
thority they need to help them

already was taking a big share
of available revenue and pass.
ing it out to local government:
instead of giving localities more
autonomy to face their owr
problems in their own way. y
This, he said, results in holdine
down governmental service
standards in the more fortunate
jurisdictions ito lower levels thar
their population desires and is
prepared to support"
| Sales Tax Proposal
If the commission decides to
recommend a sales tax, the fiscal
survey chairman urged that it be
limited to per cent at the State
level with authority for the To-
lcalities to impose an additional
per cent. He added:
I'VE make this plea for re-
serving at least part of the
general sales tax field for loca,
governments because it is the
only uncommitted major tas
capable of making a significant
contribution to the revenue
needs of local governments

MASS MEETING
APRIL IL

The public is invited to attend
a Dade County Civil Defense
Mass Meeting which will be held
in the gym at Northwestern
Senior High School, 7007 NV
18th ave. at pm. April IL.
The purpose of the meeting is
to inform persons who live in
various communities about an
emergency hospital which will be
organized in the Northwestern
school. The school has been Sc
Iected as one of seven greater
Miami schools which will be con-
verted into emergency hospitals
to serve the community in the
event of a disaster, such as a
hurricane or a surprise enemy

strikes a community, extensive
hospital facilities are needed
above and beyond those which
the existing hospitals can offer.
This is when the emergency hos
pitfalls will be brought into ac-
ton and utilized in caring for
the mass casualties.
A motion picture will be shown
of the North Hialeah Elementary
School which has functioned, on
a test basis, as on emergency
hospital - the first of its kind
in the nation!
Civil Defense is everybody'S
business - it's purpose is for
