her. But at camp, where the
groups of children housed to-
gether are smaller. it's easier for
her to make friends. New friends
are a good experience for her.
Then, too, there is a chance
to swim every day. There is no
pool at the home, and transpor-
tation to the public pool is diff
ficult.
Life is so good at camp. There
is so much to do, the days just
slide. And Janey, who has to
be encouraged to eat the rest of
the time, never seems to lack
an appetite at camp.
Trust in Animals
Compared to that of many
children, Janey'S life has been
barren indeed. Yet she has made
it as full as she could with things
she could trust-like animals
that won't betray her, and ma
ture study, which particularly
interested her at camp last year,
Janey deserves the help OF
thoughtful adults. You can send

Plan to Sell Arrest Doto
Approved by D. c. Heads

to the District, Chief Murray
said, he had to suspend the pro-
gram of giving out records for
which a 50-cent fee was charged
to cover costs of processing.
Chief Murray said he had OBJ
tanned oral approval of the
suspension from Samuel Spen-
Ger, then president of the Board
of Commissioners and SUPER
visor of the police department.
The chief said he raised the
issue today because the internal
audit Office had asked for formal
action by the Board of Commits
sioners to back up Mr.. Spencer's
oral decision, or to modify it.
Agree on Disclosure
The Commissioners today
agreed Chief Murray should dis
close local arrest records. If
FBI information shows there are
arrests in other jurisdictions, the
Commissioners said, Chief Muir
ray should add a statement say
ing, There is record of arrests
in other jurisdiction which we
cannot disclose"
Last week. Corporation Coun-
sci West ruled that disclosure of
local arrest records is authorized
to legitimately interested parties
under a public law passed for
the District in 1854. These would
include potential employers and
credit associations.
Chief Murray said he can and
does give complete records to
the subject of those records.
Commissioner David B. Karrick
suggested that potential appli-
cations for employment or credit
would seek to prove that their
records in other Jurisdictions
were inconsequential by getting
their own copy of the full record
for submission TO potential en-
ployers or credit agencies.

with them.
Since, Mr.. Shea said, nothing
has been done about searching
the Little home either by his
Office or the police.
He said they had learned by
experience that gaining entrance
to the house without a search
warrant was impossible. The past
two days have been spent deter
mining who had the auhotrity to
issue such a warrant, he declared.
Gabriel Little first came to the
attention of Welfare authorities
with the arrest of Mrs. Little
last month in connection with
her custody of a 10-year-old
nicknamed Cricket Boy" after
he told Judge Cockrill he liked
to make cricket-like noises.
When apprehended she had
Gabriel with her and took him to
the lookup at the Women's Bu-
reau. He was taken from her
there and sent to Junior Village
pending the June l hearing.
Constant Legal Battle
Mrs. Little and her husband
have been involved in an almost
constant legal battle with the
Welfare Department since 1913.
In 1949 the late Judge T. Alan
Goldsborough ordered a three
year-old returned to the natural
mother. Mrs. Little and her hus-
band had taken the child, with
the mothers permission, two
days after the birth in CALM
ger Hospital.
On another occasion she re-
fused Health Department inspec-
tors permission to examine her
home after complaints were
made it was a health hazard.
She was charged for the re-
fusal and carried her case all
the way to the Supreme Court
The high court ruled in hel
favor, declaring health inspec-
tors not armed with search war
rants cannot enter a persons
home against the owners will.

The

Some Hackers
Are Charitable
By JACK JONAS

Celeste Weyl spent a few
bad moments in the 'hurly-
burly Washington rush the
other day, but emerged with
a warm feeling.
She was in a hurry-during
the rush hour, naturally-to
get downtown for a meeting
at the Mayflower.
So she ran to the corner Of
Connecticut and California
street to try to hail a cab.
Cabs were going by, all right,
but all of them were occupied.
When the light changed, a
cab stopped with a gentleman
passenger in the back seat.
Can you take me to the
Mayf1ower?" she asked the
hacker. I'm in an awful
hurry"
Sorry, lady," the cab driver
said. This is a rush job"
Miss Weyl looked so disap-
pointed that the hacker re-
Tented.
I'll take you by if you don't
mind getting out across the
street." he said.
Miss Weyl got in, and then
began searching through her
purse for change so she could
pay right away and not delay
the gentleman passenger, also
in a hurry. But in her own
rush, she'd forgotten her bill
fold.
She explained her predica-
ment, then added: "Just give
me your name or your num-
Der, and I'll send it to you"
mo, lady," he said, frown-
ing.
Il do have my checkbook,"
she said, "if you'll take a
check"
"No, lady," he said again.
Miss Weyl began wonder
ing how the accommodations
might be in District Jail when
she got sent there for defraud-
ing a hacker.
But :" she began once
more.

the third time. when you
get hold of your billfold again,
