Backs Publicity
1.-THE Nations Capital has been
receiving Nationwide publicity
for months on this question of
hungry children in the shadow
of the Capitol" Mr.. Rabaut said.
Nov we can show other COM
munities how we are taking posi-
tive steps to make healthy citi-
zens out of unhealthy ones, and
why shouldn't that be publ
cized?
I'VE hear so much talk about
mental care. How good is mental
care if the body is all broken
down. And how good is the body
If you don't take care of it dur
ing its formative years?
IF we didn't have these sur
pluseS. that would be different.
But we do have them and we're
passing them out everywhere
else, so why not here?"
Along with the food packages,
families will receive Agriculture
Department booklets on how to
use the cheese and dried milk.
Demonstrations of food prepara-
ton are planned for each dis
tribution point, Mr.. Shea said.
Posted on the walls at the new
application center are sample
balanced menus and recipes for
such items as macaroni and
cheese. spoonbread and corn
bread.
Mr.. Shea estimated that when
the program is in full operation,
so 900 persons will be eligible for
the food handouts. Congress has
appropriated $l50,000 to admin
lister the Agriculture Department
surplus-food program.
The District spent sos, 1888 on
the earlier emergency food pro-
gram.

Juvenile Crime
in City
Cases Decrease
For Third Year

Juvenile crime in the District
has decreased for the third sue
cessive year, Inspector John
Winters. head of the Metropoli-
tan Police Youth Aid Divisions
said yesterday.
Mr.. Winters said his prelim-
mary figures as of the close of
the fiscal year yesterday will
show a drop of 18 per cent in
cases sent to Juvenile Court.
National statistics show juve-
nile crime on the increase in
other cities.
Mr.. Winters attributed the
drop here to a three-way CO.
Operative movement between the
police department. public and
private agencies.
The number of boys sent to
the court by police has dropped
by 8 per cent. Inspector Winters
said on the WTOP-TV program
I"City Side"
Statistics on girls are complete
except for the 18th month OF
the fiscal year. However. Mr.
Winters predicted, they will re-
fleet a similar decline.

The Supreme Court ruling last

Mr.. Winters pointed out that

Leorns How
A Genius Lives
By GEORGE KENNEDY

Hes always late" said Lee
Callison. He stretched his long
legs from a couch at National
Airport and yawned.
IT don't know why / waste
so much time waiting for him.
But suppose if I figured him
to be late, he'd cross me up
by arriving on time"
He was talking about his
boss, william Zeckendorf, the
real estate genius who wants
to lift the Washington sky
line.
Lee is probably well paid TO
waiting. He was assistant city
editor of the Times-Herald
until it was sold and then he
opened a Washington Office
for Webb & Knapp.
Funny thing" he said,
there was some opposition
among his vice presidents to
his calling our $50 million

ington redevelopment the

"They were wrong, Webb &
Knapp is Zeckendorf. b
1.-THE firm would be nothing
without his talent for borrow
ing money.
when he learned that the
Chrysler Building could be
bought for $50 million, he bor-
rowed $50 million to buy it.
AFTER he had assembled the
United Nations site in New
York for John D. Rockefeller,
jr., the editor of the Atlantic
Monthly asked him to write
an article on how he did it.
He has sold the Atlantic two
