At present, a probation officer
makes that decision. The judge
gets a report if the youth is held
at the Receiving Home more
titan five days. The youth doesn't
see the judge until after the So
cial investigation is completed
Inspector Winters proposed the
preliminary hearing in calling
for a complete re-examination of
Juvenile Court law in view of
modern techniques, court deci-
sions and new facilities.
Now Being Investigated
One phase of Juvenile Court
law-whether the Juvenile Court
judge or someone else should de-
eide when juveniles should be
tried as adjusts now being
investigated both by the Wash
ington Criminal Justice AsSocia-
ton and the Citizens Advisory
Council.
Inspector Winters cited these
reasons why he believes juveniles
should face the judge on the
first court day after their arrest:
/. Juveniles whose offenses
were serious enough for police
to take them to the Receiving
Home have been released by a
court probation officer in a day
or two and committed even more
serious offenses after their re-
lease. Inspector Winters thinks
the release should be a question
for the Judge rather than a pro-
baton officer to decide.
2. Very young offenders are
likely to lose the connection be-
tween their offense and their
appearance before the court dur
ing the one or two months that
elapse before they actually face
the judge--if they ever do.
Nearly one-third of the cases
are closed or referred to another
agency without reaching the
judge. Inspector Winters thinks
these youngsters should at least
be talked to by the judge while
the memory of what they did is
still fresh in their minds.
3. The trend Of Court Of APP
peals decisions here, while rec
ognizing the non-criminal nature
of Juvenile Court procedures, has
been in the direction of making
these procedures more similar tc
those Of the adult court. In
spector Winters referred to deci-
sions that minors must be advised

Death Affects
Arlington Board

The death Of Mrs. Barbara
Riches, vice-chairman Of the
Arlington School Board, has adj
vanced by two years the likeli-
hood Of conservatives" winning
control over that group.
Until Mrs. Riches death Thurs
day, the five-member School
Board was made up entirely of
liberals" backed by the Airing
tonians for a Better County
(ABC).
Under new law, abolishing
the election of school board
m e m bers, the conservatively-
dominated County Board will APP
point the successors to Chairman
L. Clark Heating and E. r..
Draheim whose terms expire at
the end Of 1857.
1t had been generally assumed
that the board would name can
didates supported by the more
conservative Arlington indie
pendent Movement (AIM), thus
giving the 1858 School Board
two conservatives" and three
liberals" in its makeup.
The death of Mrs. Riches, who
was elected with ABC backing
last year, now gives the board a
chance to put the conservatives
in a 3-to-2 majority on the
school board for 1858. Without
the unexpected vacancy. AIM
could not have gained a school
board majority until 1860.
! Mrs. Riches successor prob
ably will be filled by the County
Board next year. DR.. Lucas H,
BlevinS. candidate Of AIM, de-
feated an ABC candidate by 1876
votes earlier this month. Since
DR.. Blevins will replace George
M. Rowzee-a leader in the AIM
movement = the conservatives
will retain their 3-to-2 majority
on the County Board which APP
points the school board group
! County Board members have
indicated that Mrs. Riches sue
cessor will be chosen from
among candidates submitted BY
county organizations.
The body of Mrs. Riches, 81
was found Thursday at hel
home, 3140 North Seventeenth
street. Although an autopsy was
performed Friday, the cause OF
death has not yet been made
public.
County Medical Examiner w,
C. Welburn said the autopsy did
not provide conclusive findings.

by the Judge Of their right to
counsel. Since adults are en-
titled to an immediate hearing
he argued, why shouldn't the
same right be extended to juve-
niles?
General Farley Urged
Inspector Winters said he be-
Ilieved the Corporation Counsel's
staff should call In all the in
Ivolved agencies for their point OF
view on what changes should be
made in all aspects of the Juve-
mile Court law.
He pointed out that the Youth
Corrections Act was passed many
years after the Juvenile Court
Act Of 1888. The provisions Of
the later act, he said. should be
taken into consideration in re-
viewing the Juvenile Court law.
AT present, the Judge of Juvenile
Court cannot commit offenders
TO facilities under the Youth
Corrections Act.
AS far as facilities are con-
Icerned, Inspector Winters noted
that a place to house youthful
offenders is being built at Lorton.
The District is now allowed to
send a limited number under the
Youth Corrections Act to Federal
facilities.
Present Study Noted
On the other hand, he pointed
out, the threatened closing OF
the National Training School for
Boys has already prompted the
Juvenile Court Advisory Commit

Ivisory Council to recommend re-

I ronsit Service Plans
Praised by Mclaughlin

District Commissioner Robert
E. Mclaughlin yesterday praised
D. C. Transit System for its
"active interest in the promo
ton of improved transit service
in the District Of Columbia" as
outlined in its nine-point pro-
gram to speed up service and cut
costs.
In a letter to o. Roy Chalk.
president Of the company, he
said the city heads had specific
ally granted permission for the
firm to operate king-sized. ST.
passenger buses over three addi-
tional streets - Massachusetts
Rhode Island and Michigan av-
enues.
However. he said, permission
has heretofore been twice denied
after public hearing" to run
such buses on two other routes
Glover Park Trinidad and P
street-LeDroit Park.
Mr.. Mclaughlin said further
study. and possibly further pub
lie hearings" may be necessary
before approval Of such opera
ton on those routes.
Assistance Promised
At the same time, the Com
missioner said the city heads
wish to express their unquali-
fed approval of your proposal
to add new equipment" in con-
nection with this particular re-
quest, and promised every rea-
sonable assistance" in connec-
ton with the program.
Giving general appreciation,
Mr.. Mclaughlin said, II am very
happy to see the D. c. Transit
System, Inc, demonstrating an
interest in better transit service,
and am authorized to extend
our CONGRATULATIONS and fullest
cooperation, within the scope of
the statutes which we admins
ter and the general public well

fare Of the residents of the Dis.
ltrict."
Commenting on the fact that
Mr.. Ghalk's 20-year, partly tax
exempt franchise requires him
to convert to an all-bus opera
ton in seven years. Mr.. Nc
Laughlin declared:
I'VE recognize especially that
you will be involved in a con-
version program which will re-
Iquire re-examination of transit
IroutingS and some changes In
service. You may be sure that
we shall act expeditiously on es-
sential adjustments required by
this program"
Formerly Opposed
Such a program had been op-
posed by the old Capital Transit
Co., which Mr.. Chalk bought out
last August is, as the climax OF
several years of bitter dispute
between etc and the city gov
eminent.
On the requests by D. c. Tran
sit for further parking bans on
downtown streets, the letter said
the Commissioners have agreed
to remove any bottlenecks, but
that District traffic engineers
feel that there is no demon
strated need for greater restric-
ltions."
However, Mr.. MCLAUGHLIN
said. you are invited to take
this matter up with District
traffic personnel, or with the
Board Of Commissioners, as to
any specific problems, and you
are assured the closest co-opera-
ton in eliminating any transit
'slowdowns.'"
The Commissioner said that

lations to shopping nights had al.

Toll Road Offers
66O-Mi|e Drive,
No Stop|ights

4 EDGELY, Pa, May 19 (P.-
Next Friday, a motorist can en-
ter the Ohio Turnpike at the In
diana border and drive continu-
ously for $50 miles to New York
City without being stopped by a
single traffic light.
This is the longest unbroken'
stretch of super toll roads in the
Nation, and just the beginning
Iof a growing transcontinental
system of express highways.
On Friday the last link in the
660-mile chain of roads that
stretches through Ohio, Pennsyl-
wanna and New Jersey will be
opened to motor traffic when the
Delaware River Turnpike bridge
lis dedicated.
Links Two Turnpikes
The massive 20,000-ton steel
span arches across the Delaware
between Edgely and Florence
Township, N. j., to connect the
heavily travelled Pennsylvania
and New Jersey Turnpikes.
A mile and a quarter long, the
big bridge will handle six lanes
Of traffic and eliminate the bot
tleneck that developed and
around Philadelphia. where the
two big turnpikes terminated on
the shores of the Delaware.
Engineers. estimate that the
towering bridge-its center span
is 682 feet-will save roughly an
hours driving by by-passing the
crowded streets in America S
third largest city.
$25 Million Bridge
The bridge, built at a cost of
about $25 million in about IA
months, will be dedicated by
Cows. George M. Leader of
Pennsylvania and Robert B.
Meyner of New Jersey. Partici-
pating, too. will be turnpike
commissioners of both States,
along with industrialists. busi-
nessmen and civic leaders.
From abutment to abutment
the steel superstructure is 6,571
feet long and crosses the river
at its industrial strategic big
bend where the 4,000-acre Fair
less Works of the United States
Steel Corp. is located.
The bridge completes the final
portion of the 32.3-mile Della
ware River extension of the
Pennsylvania Turnpike and a
mile stretch of the New
Jersey toll road. The cost of
connecting the two superhigh-
ways totaled nearly $98 million,
with sos million of that spent
in the keystone State.
