BY HAROLD B. ROGERS

The House District Committee
meets at 1920 am. tomorrow tc
act on the city's $12 million rev.
enue bill.
The measure, already approved
by the Joint Fiscal Subcommit-
tees of the House and Senate, is
expected to occupy the entire
session.
So important is the tax bill
that the District Committee may
not be able to complete actor
tomorrow. Another session Tues
day morning might be required
In view of this, committee
officials have given up hope OF
having the District Committee
consider some other city legiS-
lation tomorrow. These bills. APP
proved by other subcommittee
relate to the Jones Point bridge
and an increase in the Police
Departments strength to 2,50C
Officers and men.
New District Taxes
Two bridge measures are pend
ing. One would transfer juris-
Idiction for construction from the
Interior Department to the Com
Imerce Department and authorize
changes in both the spans de-
sign and it's approaches through
Alexandria.
The revenue bill would levy q
wide variety of taxes on District
residents and authorize an in.
crease of the Federal payment
to the city from $40 million Il
$22 million.
The tax measure, designed t,
ease the city's financial dilemma
is expected to be reported favor
ably to the House sometime thi'
week, but there was no definite
prediction as to whether it would
come out of the District com
mittee as drafted, or will
changes.
Next step in the Legislative,
procedure is expected to be &C
ton by the House. One source
indicated that in all probability
the measure will be called up fol
debate and action on the House
floor March 26.
Action Due on Budget
Meantime, the city's big bulge
for the next fiscal year beginning
July ! is slated for action Thurs.
day by the full House Appropria.
tons Committee.
Now written in the form o.
an appropriation bill by the Dis:
|trict subcommittee after Ions
hearings, the supply bill has beer
reported reliably to contain
funds to hire about 100 more
teachers and the payment of $2(
million to the city.
This $40 million figure is S:
million more than Congress ap.
|propriated for this expiring fisca
year.
If the new revenue bill with it!

Georgian Is Peocemoker
In D. c. Court Squobb|e

Representative Davis, Demo-
Icrat of Georgia, turned up yes
terday in the role of peacemakel
between the Washington Grim
Iinal Justice Association and the
Juvenile Court.
Friction between the associa-
ton and the court was aired
publicly on Thursday at the
hearing on legislation introduced
by Mr.. Davis for a 2,500-mar
police force.
The association president
Ralph Pittman, charged during
the hearing that the Juvenile
Courts lack of cooperation had
forestalled completion of the
associations investigation oil
juvenile repeaters.
Mr.. Davis said he received q
letter after the hearing from
Juvenile Court Judge Edith
Cockrill and a visit from Mrs
Alice Freer, her administrative
assistant. Both denied any lack
of cooperation.
II told Mrs. Freer frankly
he said, that there ought to be
a spirit of cooperation between
the court and the Criminal JUS
tice Association or any other
agency working for law enforce
ment. 1 said they ought to be
able to work together in a spirit
of harmony and without any
hostility. She assured me that
was the courts attitude, too"
Previous Survey Cited
He said Mrs. Freer told him
she had been a member of a
group which had made a similar
survey of the court in 1851 and
that the proposed Criminal JUS
tice Association would cover the
same ground.
II said if it was all right to
make such a survey then, what
would be the objection to it
now, five years later. She said
there was no objection"
Mr.. Davis also quoted Mrs.
Freer as saying that she had
thought Mr.. Pittman was very
pleased at the courts efforts to
cooperate"
Mr.. Pittman, however, said
that he believed Judge Cockrill
had closed the door on the as
sociation's planned study. Mr..
Davis said he expected to confer
with Mr.. Pittman in line with
the offer he made at the hear
ing to cooperate in trying to
solve the associations problem.

procedures, the extent OF the
study and its detectives.
Mrs. Orrison replied that the
study of the $50 cases would want
to learn: How much time was
involved from the time the juve-
nile was referred to Juvenile
Court by police until the cast
was heard and disposed of;
which cases were closed without
reaching the judge and whether
the case work load of the courts
social work division affected thi:
question: when was the juvenile
returned home pending his court
hearing and when was he helc
in the Receiving Home; whether
any of the listed offenses &C.
CURED while the juvenile was
awaiting his court hearing,
which individuals were placed or
probation; whether the case loaC
of the probation officers inter-
ferred with proper attention te
their duties; whether any of the
listed offenses we're committed
while the juvenile was on proba-
tion and was the probation
subsequently revoked.
The question was then
thrashed out at a meeting be-
tween Judge Cockrill. Mrs. Freer
Mr.. Pittman and Mrs. Orrisor
on December 2. That was fol-
lowed by another letter from the
Judge to Mrs. OrriSon.
Neither your verbal explana-
ton nor your letter make clear
what can be developed from 8
statistical analysis of DISPOSE
lions in a selected group Of
cases." Judge Cockrill wrote.
Questions Soundness
She also questioned the sound.
ness of the proposed study in
selecting "so-calJed multiple of
tenders as a basis for questioning
the methods of treatment or the
effectiveness of the rehabilita-
ton"
No method of treatment is 100
per cent effective in all cases
she said and there will inevita-
bly, be some failures" Effective
ness, she wrote, must be meas
ured and evaluated through con-
sideration of both failures and
successes.
Two days after that letter ar
rived, the association got one
from Senator Kefauver, Demo-
crat of Tennessee, as chairman
of the Senate Juvenile Delin-
quency Subcommittee.
1.-The work which you have
been doing in Washington re-
garding recidivism among juve-
nile delinquents can be a most
important contribution in this
field" he wrote. II think il
should be to the interest of the
police department and the Juve-
nile Court to cooperate with you
in every way possible. A COM
pleted study such as you have
undertaken would be very val
liable to the Subcommittee on
Juvenile Delinquency in its work
as research in this particular
field is very limited"
Sponsor on Appointment
Senator Kefauver was Judge
Cockrill'S sponsor in the Senate
at the time of her appointment
Her term expired last August
but no successor has yet been
appointed. Senator Kefauvel
has not participated in any move
for her reappointment.
Mr.. Pittman said yesterday he
is still hoping Judge Cockrill
will give us a chance"
When a Star reporter called
to ask Judge Cockrill for COM
ment, Mrs. Freer took the call
I'VE would have to see some
value in the study" she said
"At this time. the judge sees
little value in the study"
She was asked If the judge
considered there was a problem
of repeaters here.
"Of course, there is" she re-
piled, but she still doesn't see
any value In study Of It,"

Mental Patients

Prisoner Care
BY MIRIAM GUTENBERG

Mentally Ill patients at Dis
trict General Hospital are being
neglected because available psy-
chiatrists have had to devote
most of their time to prisoners
facing criminal charges. it was
learned yesterday.
The Commissioners wrote of
the prisoner problem as solved
five months ago when they voted
to open a maximum security
ward with staff of 10-includ-
ing a pSychiatric team.
Commissioner Robert E. Nc
Laughlin said at the time-Oc-
tober Is, 1955-that he expected
the staff to be hired and the
ward to be in use within three
weeks.

GU, ecu Lodges And Church Society
To Stage Niagara Frontier Croat Day
Orchard Park Grove, Tonawanda, Chosen
AS Site For August 10, 1856, Gathering

F - For years
now, the people of Croatian
descent living on the Niagara
Frontier, because of a lack
of common interest, have not
had close contact with each
other. It has been the feel
ing of quite a number of us
to try to remedy this.
Rec ntly, representatives
from various Croatian. com
munities in Western New
York met and discussed this
problem. As a result, the first
step will be to establish one
day a year and designate it as
the Niagara Frontier Croa-
tan Day.
The date set for this year
is August 10 and the occa-
sion will be a huge outing
which will be held in Orchard
Park Grove in the City of
Tonawanda.
Sponsorship for this will
come from both nationally
affiliated lodges and non-affi'
lated lodges. Lodges that are
affiliated are with the Gro.
attain Fraternal Union and the
Croatian Catholi c u nj o n

which are located in Buffalo
and Lackawanna and the
non-affiliated group is from
Niagara Falls, st. Jerome's
Society.
The original meeting was
attended by approximately
twenty-five people represent
ing various communities and
the first order of business was
to elect a general chairman,
John Loncher, co-chairmen,
Charles Verbanic, and James
Feketich, secretary, Miss Ma
ry Pillich, and Charles Blazi-
ma, Jr., to handle the publici-
ty, from whom you will be
hearing much more. At this
time the rest Of the commit
tee chairmen have not as yet
been appointed.
We hope that this means
will help to draw all of our
people closer together and as
time progresses this commit
tee will try to sponsor more
affairs of a
social, educational, and ath-
letic nature.
