In Juvenile Court Funds

an economic as well as a social
benefit.
There can be, in other
words. a true dollar saving as
"a result Of the courts expanded
work, and that saving is not
long deferred. because the work
OF the court is chiefly the bet
ter protection, correction and
restraining Of the city's youth,
who shortly will be its tax
paying citizenry."
Judge Ketcham said in
creased court burdens are due
to current administrative re-
organization, expanded liaison
work with other public and
private agencies in Washing
ton and nearby areas and a
major change in legal proce-
dures due to appellate decisions
dealing with legal rights for
juveniles, especially the right
TO legal counsel and the right
to early arraignment.

Juvenile Court Judge Orm w.
Ketcham yesterday revealed his
plea to the District Budget Of
fee for money to handle the
increasing burdens of his court.
Like the public program for
Salk vaccine NEGOTIATIONS, the
Juvenile Courts program may
appear to be q considerable and
growing cost to the commu-
nifty" Judge Ketcham said In
o letter to the Budget once.
But also like the anti-polio
program, the work Of this court
prevents a far more costly and
ruinous evil-in this case, the
spread of juvenile delinquency
and vandalism throughout the
city"
Requested $7O1,5OO
Judge Ketcham's first re-
quest to the Budget once was
for $701, 500, about $2l3.800
more than the current years
budget. The Budget once has
approved a Juvenile Court bud
get for 1859 Of 1888, 900.
The $45, 800 increase approved
by the Budget once would en-
able the court to add six new
employees.
The judges request for res
toration Of another $44.480
would add seven more workers
including four employees to fol-
low up nonsupport cases.
The improvements in the
courts functions appear as in
creased costs but will save
money in the total community
budget, Judge Ketcham said.
Better Collection Possible
For example, more efficient
operation Of the courts collec-
ton system can result in the
collection Of up to 100000 in
support orders recoverable into
the District treasury, since the
beneficiaries are receiving pub
lie assistance.
Similarly, any procedure
which cuts down on the man.

Much Of the sentiment went
further. Fish and game groups
we're unanimous in urging the
Federal-owned park to be re-
turned to Maryland ownership.
A number Of private property
owners adjacent to the canal
urged turning the canal land
over to them.
Business groups, though more
restrained in their approach,
made clear their feeling that
the canal. which extends from
the District of Columbia to
Cumberland. should not be
permitted to stand as q barrier
to industry or other interests
which need direct and unim-
peded access to the Potomac
River.

along with the park service.
The legislator. who has CO.
sponsored a bill for construct
ing a short length Of motor
parkway in Allegany County,
found himself explaining why
he included a provision au-
thorizing the Federal Govern
ment to acquire 10000 more
acres to add to the Gao prop
erty.
"Mr. HYDE" demanded one
interrogation from the floor,
do you mean to say as q Rep
resentatiVe of this State that
you favor the Federal Govern
ment owning this property"
And the NPS spokesman,
e. v. Buschman, heard an &C.
cusation by Joseph F. Kaylor
director Of the Maryland Forest
and Park Department, that the
park service had recently
backed out Of q conference that
had been arranged TO discuss
the status Of Federal parks in

posed to developing the canal
area as q parkway. He favors
instead its development for
the greatest good"

Arlington and call several
Negroes involved in the Airing
ton desegregation suit.
Mr.. Thomson, member of the
House Of Delegates from Alex

for Thursday and Friday. They

Gather Data on NAACP
Mr.. Thomson is chairman of
one Of two committees set up
by the Virginia General Assem-
bly, last year to investigate
racial activities In the State
and to report whether any laws
are being violated. The COM
mittees were formed as q result
Of the so-called "anti.NAACp"
legislation.
The chairman has already
stated that he believes his
committee has enough infor-
nation on the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement
Of Colored People to bar it
from the State.
He said there is no question
that the NAACP is hiring at
torneys and paying them to
carry on the desegregation
cases.
He said that some Negroes
involved in litigation have tes-
tined before his committee that
they didn't even know they
were plaintiffs in the suits.

A total of 81 members voted, %
