that mental i'll health Is moth
ing but q practicable result Of
our society,""
Mr.. Pikser suggested that per-
haps our cultural values include
this emotional disturbance in
their costs. adding that the
stresses are the things that have
spurned US on.
The public should change its
attitude toward origins Of mem
tai Ill health.
THE community Is engaged
in game Of pointing the finger"
Mr.. Pikser said. I'VE keep trying
to md out who is at fault, as
long as we keep on playing spin
the bottle, with our eye on where
the bottle stops, we will never
understand the problem"
Mr.. Pikser suggested I'VE
should lose the sense Of collective
guilt" adding that the home
supports social agencies and the
churches cannot solve the prob
lem.
This may be q necessary cost
which our present level Of de-
velopment requires us to pay,
he said, adding that It may re-
fleet the way to q better world.
He said dryly when we are
finally ready to spend what It
takes (for mental health) we
will not need to spend as much.
When society grows beyond the
Eadolescent and acduisitive period
Il will be better able to handle
the problem as a result Of the
Efforts that are being made to-
day. he added. Each individual
is sacred" he said. adding that
II only one Of q hundred Is
saved through today's efforts
the work is valuable.
Wider Therapy Needed
But "therapy on the whole
social structure" is the only
thing that can resolve the prob
lem itself, he said.
Later, after small discussion
groups brought back opinions to
the panel, many Of which had
been stimulated by Mr.. Pikser S
remarks. He declared ats very
pious to say you need more
teachers, social workers, etc. But
II you're really serious about
using the schools for mental
health. every teacher should be
psychoanalized."

Taking O look at juvenile de-
linquency were Ann Fauver. 16,
representing the Girl Scouts:
Phyllis Harrod. II. Dunbar High
School; Alan MacKensie, II, Be-
thesda- Chevy Chase High School
and a 1T-year-old representative
Of the YWCA's Y-Teens, who
asked to remain anonymous be-
cause she Is working with q
group Of juvenile delinquents.
The teen-age panel first sought
to define q juvenile delinquent.
Alan described o delinquent as
anyone who continually violates
/. social standards"
Miss Harrod said she felt that
many Of the acts considered as
serious infractions Of accepted
standards were really only fam
lily matters-such Is taking the
family auto without authorize
tion-and q symptom Of O break
down in parent-child relations.
The YWCA representative con-
tended that Juvenile delin-
Quency begins when children are
very young. It starts with steal
ing from the cookie jar"
Attenuation Blamed
Miss Fauver said one Of the
basic causes Of juvenile delin-
quency is too many automatic
appliances that do the chores
teen-agers used to do" She said
that many youngsters get into
trouble simply because they have
too much time on their hands.
Miss Fauver suggested that
school recreation facilities be
made available to children in
the evenings and on week ends.
This brought q reply from rep
resentatives Of the Alexandria
and Washington recreation de-
partments. It was pointed out
that Is school grounds were
made available for weekend
activities in Alexandra and la
ter were closed because children
had not taken advantage Of the
opportunities to use them.
It was also pointed out that
several Washington Fairgrounds
now open three nights q week
may be closed one Of those nights
because Of q cut in appropria-
tons.
Winding UP the discussion
moderately by Sophie Altman
and Bette Jerome, Of WRC-TV's
Teen Talk program, was o con-
tenticn by Alan Mackenzie that
authorities should put more
teeth in juvenile delinquency
laws"
This brough an argument from
other members Of the panel who
said the problem is not enforce
ment but one of prevention.

:. Seeks Answer
On Future Skyline
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

BY GEORGE KENNEDY
What does the future hold
for Washington, architecture
ally speaking?
Realizing that the American
Institute of Architects Is hold
ing its centennial convention
in the Sheraton-Park, the
Rambler went there seeking
an answer.
The monuments Of the past
are with us-the Capitol by .
succession Of architects, from
DR.. william Thornton to Rich
ard Morris Hunt; James Hob
ans White House, the broad
pillars Of George Hadfleld's
Arlington across M e m o iAl
Bridge, and the perfect obelisk
In memory Of the father Of
his country.
And we have more recent
buildings-the Library Of Con-
gress, which must have been
hailed as equal to anything
in Europe; the splendid Lin
coin Memorial, and the many
stately buildings Of the Fed
eral Triangle. Such modern
buildings within and such
labored classiciSm without.
But as for modern? WASH
ington probably has less con-
temporary design than any
great capital in the world.
Paul Cret's Federal Reserve
Board building Is . successful
modernization Of classic de-
sign. william Lescaze's Long
fellow building on Connecticut
avenue (the one with all the
balconies that are never used)
seems to be the one example
Of what Is termed interna.
tional architecture. The Gen.
eral Accounting once is mod
ern inside and out. And per-
haps there are some others.
Washingtop's great modern
building is the $Ss million war
time Pentagon.

IT understand how deeply you

isn't q danger Of allowing the

Despite the important role Of
the privately supported COM
munity services. particularly in
pioneef projects, more and
more Of the responsibility for
taking care Of the welfare needs
of people Is falling on "the
three-cornered partnership Of
local. State and Federal Gov
leruments." MIR. Hecht declared.
Seen As Inevitable
He called this "an inevitable
result Of the way in which our
country has developed" For
public assistance and family
service work alone. government
agencies Federal, State and
|local-provide about $2.75 billion
Ia year. or about 100 times as
much as Is provided for such
work by privately supported
agencies, he said.
The public's needs must be
called to the legislators atten-
ton. he said.
II know you have to WOO the
Congress to get funds for your
own District services" he de-
Iclared. I'm addition. as you mix
and talk with members Of Con-
lgress as neighbors, golfline part
ners and friends, you have a
unique opportunity to show Con-
Igress how the needs Of the peo-

House Rules Unit
Pledges Action
On Resolution

Chairman Smith Of the House
Rules Committee said this after.
noon his group would be prepared
to act next week on q resolution
calling for a three-way investi-
cation into District affairs.
The resolution, introduced by
Chairman Mcmillan of the
House District Committee, would
authorize that group to hold in
Ivestigative sessions with sub
poena powers in the following
three fields:
The District Health Depart
ment, including District General
Hospital; the $500 million, 10
year District public works pro-
gram which still has six years
to 60, and the District Revenue
Act Of last year which already
has produced an unanticipated
$5.5 million as a result of higher
rates and lower exemptions.
No Advance Warning
Mr.. Smith, who also is a mem.
Der Of Mr.. McMillan's commit
tee, said he had no advance
warning that the resolution was
to be introduced.
The reaction at the District
Building, meanwhile, was that
no such strong" resolution was
needed. Ofilcials there took the
position that no subpoena pow.
ers were required and that they
were only too anxious to CO.
operate with congressional COM
mittees and their individual
members who seek information
about District affairs.
President Robert E. McLaugh-
lin of the Board of Commits
sioners said, Wen be very happy
to give them any information
they want at any time"
Language Not Unusual
He said he was sure the Dis
trict Building had always tried
to provide any type of informa-
ton desired by Congress.
Mr.. Smith, however, said he
attached mo particular signifi-
canoe" to the subpoena powers
that would be given the District
Committee under terms Of the
resolution. He said the language
was frequently found in this type
of measure.
II have not read the resolu-
Ition," the Virginia Democrat
said. "and did not know about
1t. so can't comment"
Representative Morrison, DEM
ocrat Of Louisiana, also declined
to comment on provisions of the
measure. because II haven't read
the resolution and didn't know it
was going to be introduced"
Mr. Mcmillan said he had in.
troduced the measure because
members Of the District Com.
mittee desired more information
than was previously obtainable
in the three areas.
Promises Hearing
Mr.. Smith was asked today
when the Rules Committee
might be expected to act.
II presume, the chairman re-
piled, "Mr. Mcmillan will want
"a hearing and if he asks for
one next week I'll be glad to
give him one then. We should be
able to act next week now that
we've cleaned UP this civil rights
thing"
The Rules Committee had just
concluded hearings on the civil
rights legislation and is sched-
uled to act on it at 2 pm. Tues
day.
Mr.. Mcmillan was reported by
his Office to have returned to his
home district in South Carolina
and could not be reached for
comment.

&2OgCA 0OabACAs
In panel discussions Wash.
ington area teen-agers decided
that school Is the best place
for sex education and that too
much spare time and too little
parental concern are the chief
causes Of juvenile delinquency.
Rabbi Brickner's remarks came
after four teen-age panels on de-
hnquency. sex education, home
and family. and youth and the
community.
Contradiction Seen
Young people today cry 'let US
be individuals" he told the audi
ence, but actually they look
askance at individuality.
The rabbi saw similar con-
fiicts between q teen-age demand
for guidance and young peoples
wish to be on their own.
"They plead for family unity"
he said. but there Is an implied
reluctance to enter q personal
relationship with their parents"
Young people are not prepared
to challenge society's moral
patterns" but only its "mores, :"
the rabbi said. II don't think
there is any real. constructive
help that teen-agers can give So
ciety in terms Of its basic prob
lems." he declared.
One Omission Praised
Rabbi Brickner praised the
teen-agers for finding It unneces-
sary to schedule q panel discus
sion "of inter-group relations"
This means. he suggested that
"black-white. Jew-gentile rela-
tons are now q matter Of
course"
The sex education panel agreed
that the subject can be taught
In home and church but that
school Is the best place for 1t.
John Cooper, II, q student at
Woodrow Wilson High School,
argued that any sex education
offered by the church would be
almost Incidental" The young
sters who do not 60 to church,
he said, are the ones really to
be taught.
Similarly. he commended, UNI
happy homes would not make
very good classrooms. Only the
school, he said, can assure chill
dren thorough and reliable sex
instruction.
Another Favors Both Places
It should be taught in both
home and school, said Herbert
M. Duval, II. Acquainting chill
dren with sex at home saves
them embarrassment when they
encounter the subject at school,
he declared.
A third panel member, Brenda
Bolger, II, suggested special
classes for parents. Often, she
said. adults avoid the discussion
Of sex because they don't under
stand 1t.
Tina Tausch, II, a student at
Western High School, said par
ents should begin sex education
by answering the question Of
small children. These questions
and answers, she suggested,
might be used as q basis for sex
courses at school.
John B. Duncan, District re-
corder Of deeds, who was In the
audience, said he had answered
his 8-year-old sons questions on
sex by playing records he had
obtained from youth workers.
These. he said provided instruc-
ton by q specialist" which
might not be available in class
rooms.

"a successful school lunch pro-
gram for all-age children here

gram is needed here as well al

Urges Delinquency Grant
He also urged District resi-
dents to work for q Fedora
grant to help cope with juvenile
delinquency.
Mr.. Hecht urged support ol

ents Committee to influence
Congress to raise the grant-in.
aid for child welfare service:
from 50 million to the $12 mil
lion authorized by law"
In the last two sessions Of
Congress, he said. the Ameri.
can Parents Committee took the
leadership in another campaign
to get the appropriations for the
crippled children's and maternal
child health grants raised to the
maximum authorization.
This resulted In approx
mately $55.000 more allotted to
that work in the District" he
said.
"A few persons from WASH
ington helped In the fight for
those appropriations, but most
Of the support came from people
In the States" he said.
Cites Economy Wave
Pointing to the ECONOMY
wave that seems to be rolling in
Congress Just now" he declared
that, although economy and EN-
cheney in government are impor-
tant, money spent to improve
the health, education and the

In his article, Mssr. Natterer

He further stated that not one

this. that if two parties quarrel,
there can be no hope for recon-

grievance have worn off, and both
parties begin to speak to one an
other again.
This situation existed in the
period Immediately after the Re.

Lutherans settled into a period
OF silence.

Germany at least, Catholics and
Protestants are getting together
