New Judge Asked
To Provide Dutu
On Juvenile Court

The chairman of the Districts
Council on Law Enforcement
said yesterday he had asked the
incoming Judge of Juvenile Court
to provide a report on the size
of the courts case load to guide
the council on whether two
judges were needed on the
juvenile bench.
Council Chairman George Hart,
said Orrn w. Ketcham, con-
flrmed last week as Juvenile
Court judge, will automatically
become a council member after
he is sworn in.
Mr.. Hart said he had asked
Mr.. Ketcham for a current re-
port on the case load OF the
busy court. He recalled that the
Council on Law Enforcement had
supported the idea of a two judge
Juvenile Court a few years ago
but did not pursue it because
Edith H. Cockrill, then on the
Juvenile bench, opposed a sec
ond judge.
The council chairman said new
information was needed to as
sist the council in deciding
whether it will again recommend
a two-judge court or some Of
fetal like a referee to deal with
juvenile delinquency and adult
problems.
The next meeting Of the law
enforcement council is scheduled

an increase to $3.50 a day.
But Commissioner Karrick said
the hospitals are computing their
average cost for all patients and
prorating overhead costs to pay
ing and INDECENT patients alike.
He said that many items Of over
head. such as heating, lighting
and building maintenance, are
not appreciably increased when
empty beds are filled with in
digent patients and these costs
should therefore not be figured
In computing the cost Of INDECENT
care.
Makes Comparison
Mr.. Karrick said the picture
is comparable to that Of a rail-
road. II the railroad charges $40
for q ticket TO New York, but
there are many empty seats on
the train. he said, the railroad
would benefit by selling the seats
for IS each.
Similarly. he said. II a hospi-

eager TO fill the beds with pa
tents who are only paying SIS
