Thus, he says, If those areas are
correctly plotted on a weather map,

Mr.. Hoover suggests that hur-

celebrated when it runs through a
slot with a high pressure area on
its right and a low pressure area on
its left.
But when the high is left and
the low is right, the hurricane still
wants to go around to the left Of
the high pressure area. Instead Of
roaring ahead it dawdleS and

MARYLAND
By GENE GOODWIN

Just as the Prince Georges
County Bar Association was about
to open its quarterly meeting in
Upper Marlboro last week, young
man strolled through the venerable
courthouse clad in stylishly tailored
Bermuda shorts and knee-length
stockings.
Because Bermuda shorts, like
other tokens of modern life, have
been slow to come to Upper MARI
boro, the young mans appearance
was the object of much joshing
among the courthouse crowd.
But perhaps the bare-kneed in
vader was no more out of place
in the minds of many of the county
barristers than the number one
item on that days agenda: Juvenile
court reform.
Once again the county bar was
asked by a group of its younger
lawyers to officially withdraw its
opposition to the creation Of q
separate. full-time juvenile court
in the county.
Once again. opponents succeeded
in deferring the controversial vote
this time until the September
meeting.
Long Term Argument
The argument over what type
of court should deal with those
who have offended society at an
early age has been going on in
Prince Georges County almost as
long as anybody can remember.
More than Is years ago, The Star
commented in an editorial that
1.-THE current discussion of the need
for Juvenile Court in Prince
Georges County gives rise to the
hope that some action finally is
to be taken on this matter"
1t was seven years later, in l947,
that some action" finally was
taken and the present system Of
handling juvenile cases on a part
time basis was established.
Under that l947 law, juvenile
offenders are taken either into
Hyattsville or Upper Marlboro
Police Court where the trial mag
istrates hold juvenile court on
specified days.
Most of the persons who have
had experience with or occasion TO
study this part-time setup seem to
agree that it is woefully inadequate
to the needs of Maryland's second
most populous county. Its biggest
failing is the lack Of q qualified
judge able to devote full-time to
juvenile cases.
The Juvenile Court Advisory
Committee. a group Of citizens set
up to aid and advise the trial magis-
trates on Juvenile matters, made a
big effort about a year and a half
ago to sell a reform bill to the
county's legislators. Their bill pro-
posed a separate Juvenile Court
modelled more or less after the
Montgomery County Juvenile Court,
with full-time Judge and q COM
plete stan Of probation Officers,
social workers and clerks.
The county lawmakers, all Demo-
Gratis. rejected this bill. One Of the
reasons was completely political.
Many members Of the committee

Republicans Reply

The Republican answer to the
Democratic assertions is simple and
direct. Under steps initiated and
carried out by the Eisenhower adj
ministration our defense position
has been increased rather than
diminished even though spending
may have been cut back.
Explanation Of this novel theory,
novel at least in politics, that you
can obtain more for spending less
is rather complex. What 1t boils
down is the new military concept
advanced by the administration. 1t
is that by taking advantage of new
weapons, chronological develop
ments, an improved Reserve force,
and a better strategic use Of exist
ing forces there is no need for q
large standing Army and a Navy
and Marine Corps at peak war
time strength.
What the administration has
sought to do. the Republicans say,
is to organize the country's mill
tary forces for the long pull against
communism, for the indefinite time
that military strength will be
needed. The basic military policy
is one of capacity for retaliation and
that means, in military terms. en-
phasiS on air power accompanied
by greater effectiveness of the
Army, Navy and Marine Corps.
This basic policy, contrasted
with the peaks and valleys" of
military strength in previous years
dictated by presence or absence of
an emergency, such as the Korean
war, were passed on and approved
by the Democratic-controlled Con-
gress more than a year ago.

Boys Club Roce Policy
Poses Tough Problem

element of governmental extortion
involved.
One problem, though. is whether
any other method of fund raising
can produce the $325.000 obtained
last year. And. since the club di-
rectors have fatty refused to in
tegrate. what would happen II all
District Government support we're
withdrawn from the club?
This Is germane, since it is argued
that any organization doing an
effective job in prevention OF crime
should not be denied all possible
police assistance.
Three Dispossessed
Three of the clubs nine units
already have been or are being dis
possessed because of the segrega-
ton policy. One of them, the white
club formerly located in the Uni
tartan Church at Sixteenth and
Harvard streets, has fallen from an
average daily attendance of 400 to
about SO. Police, trying to keep
contact with the boys, are meeting
them on playing fields in an effort
to maintain competitive activities,
but seem to be up against a losing
proposition.
Latest club figures, dating from
January, 1855, list $4,000 enrolled
members of the club--8,00O white
and $4,000 Negro. And after this
month, there will be only six club
houses-two white and four Negro.
OF these. three of the clubhouses
are owned by the Boys Club and
three by the District. On one of
the District buildings, the old
Walker School at 1910 Third street
NV, the club spent $4,000 Of its
money to restore it for use OF a
Negro unit. On another, the for
mer fire engine house at 1901 Ninth
street Sc, the club has spent
more than $50, 1000 for a white unit.
What should we do the Com
missionerS ask, Take it away from
them?" The other, Negro unit.
meets in the basement of the Fifth
Precinct station house.
Another concern of the Commits
sioners is the estimate that 81 to SO
per cent of the contributions come
from white donors. What, they
wonder. will be the effect either of
indignation or of withdrawal of Dis
trict support?
This is coupled with the argu-
ment that police co-ordinating the
program are able to enlist aid from
prominent men in the community
who otherwise might not join in
the work.
All in ALL the Commissioners face
an unhappy problem. 1t remains to
be seen what they viii decide.

A delicate problem troubling the
District Commissioners is what to
do about demands for racial integ-
ration Of the Metropolitan Police
Boys Club.
So far, the city heads have gone
down the line with the announced
policy Of President Eisenhower to
use all his powers to wipe out the
last vestige of segregation in the
Nations Capital.
Now, however, even the most
dedicated of them has called
halt for some soul-searching on
what may happen If they go the
rest Of the way.
Their fear is that II they forge
ahead with an attempt to force
indignation on the Boys Club
they may wreck one of the city's
most potent weapons against jul
venile delinquency.
Even the strongest arguments of
doctrinaire opponents of full in
tegration have not quoted the fear.
Spokesman for the National AS
ISOLATION for the Advancement of
Colored People have insisted, for
example, that wrecking of the Boys
Clubs is not likely to happen--that
similar Indignation in restaurants
and theaters has not borne out
fears that business would suffer.
But, the argument goes, Boys
Club segregation is an evil which
ought to be stamped out even if it
means killing the club.
Coll for Action
Although the Boys Club Board
of Directors, composed of 179 white
members, has fatty refused to in
tegrate, NAACP spokesman insist
the Commissioners can probably
force them to do so. If they still
refuse. the NAACP has argued. the
city heads should withdraw all sup
port provided by the municipal
Government. Essentially, they feel
that Washington Negros are I'M
fairly Disseminated against when
the city uses money from Negro
taxpayers in any way to support
something they feel is evil Segre-
gated institutions.
On one point the Commissioners
are in agreement: That as soon as
possible police should be stopped
from soliciting funds for the club.
This, however, is on the theory that
such solicitation is an improper
police function, regardless of inte-
grafton or segregation, since citizens
who are asked for money by uni
formed policeman may feel-re-
gardless of the purity of the solicit
tors motives-that there is an

Many Government workers and
other Washingtonians are finding
that chartered airplanes, con-
tracted for by Federal employees
clubs or other groups. offer low
cost transportation to a European
vacation.
From Washington to Paris on
q regular air carrier-American or
foreign-the first class round trip
fare is $85814 and the tourist class
fare is $582.42. But a club can
charter a plane to take a group
to Europe and bring it home again
ut an individual round-trip fare
of as little as $245.
The charter traveller. of course,
must take-off and return with the
group, whereas the traveller on the
regular airlines--if he plans far
enough ahead--can travel on dates
of his own choice. Also. charter
travel lacks some of the luxury
offered by the regular lines. But
the cash savings of charter travel
are drawing many customers.
Last year about 300 members Of
the Civil Aeronautics Club went
to Europe this way. This year
chartered flights already arranged
or with applications pending will
take to Europe several hundred

Chartered Plane Trips

China fame is one Of the chief lines
serving charter groups. In season
the regular carriers lack the equip
ment to meet the demand for
chartered service. This is why the
Civil Aeronautics Board last year
liheralized its policy as to trans
atlantic chartered flights.
Flying Tiger Line official assert
service on a chartered DC 6 is very
comfortable. Since the plane has
no schedule to keep, 1T can be routed
to get the best flying weather. Each
plane carries So passengers. The
crew belong to the Airline Pilots
Association. Two stewardeSses go
with each group. Hot meals are
served aloft. Individual baggage
is limited to 40 lbs.
AS for safety, a Flying Tiger
spokesman states: THE company is
financially responsible for its pas
sengers. We have one of the high

deplane at London and return from

nth Annual Conference On Citizenship

Speaking to the Eighth Ma
tional Conference on Citizen
ship, John J. Parker, chief
judge, United States Court of
Appeals, Fourth Judicial Cir
cult, said: "The conference
has been growing in power
and influence from year to
year and is undoubtedly the
greatest mobilization of the
forces for good citizenship
that has ever existed in this
country"
Since 1916, more than 1 200
organizations and agencies
have participated. Through
their membership and activi-
ties these touch nearly every
wholesome aspect of our life
and reach most of our 165
million population.

Mandich and Legal Counsellor
Edward b. Servov will repre-
sent the society at the con-
ference.
The future of the National
Conference on Citizenship is
challenging. The congressional
charter empowers the confer
ence to translate its ideals
and objectives into realities.
Plans for the future include
both long-range and immedi-
ate projects and activities.
The conference will initiate
and conduct some of these
activities directly. Others, it
will encourage and assist or
ganizations and agencies in
states and communities to
initiate and carry on. Pro-
posed projects and activities
include the following:
1. Annual meetings of the
National Conference at which
participants will consider the
rights and responsibilities of
citizenship, discuss major pro-
blems facing the Nation, and
ways in which the ideas in
spired by the national meet
ing can be carried out in their
home States and communities.
2. Regional, State, and
local conferences on citizen
ship which will have purposes
similar to those of the ma
tional conference, with or
ganization and procedures
adapted to State and COM
munity situations.
8. Citizenship Day observ-
ances which will commemo-
rate the signing of the Con-
stitution, recognize the native
youth reaching voting age
and the foreign-born receiv-
ing citizenship through nat
uralization, and afford all citi-
zens opportunity for rededica-
ton to the ideals and prin-
ciples of the Constitution.
4. A new voter" program
which, carried on through
cooperating groups and other
organizations and agencies,
will stress responsible exer-
else of suffrage by all, and
emphasize greater recognition
Of youth in civic affairs and
their better preparation for
the assumption of citizenship
responsibilities.
5. Naturalization ceremo-
nies in which the conference,
through its participating or
ganizations and agencies, will
assist Federal and State
courts with inspirational court
induction ceremonies t h a t
stimulate in new citizens ap-
probation of American tradi-
tions and ways of living.
