A survey Of air passengers at
National Airport gives strong
indication that air service to
Baltimore through Friendship
Airport is inadequate" a Civil
Aeronautics Board representa-
tive said today.
The testimony. from E. Bruce
Miller. chief of the trunk lines
section of CABS Bureau of Air
Operation. came at the opening
Of a public hearing on the ade-
quacy Of service to National
Airport and to Baltimore
Friendship.
Mr.. Miller said that a mini

come from the Baltimore area
to board aircraft at National
Airport.
That" he said. lis around
500 persons a day. The survey
indicates to me that something
is wrong with the service"
He testified that because OF
the heavy passenger traffic al

out that there is, at present,
no automobile parking charge
at Friendship.

very limited"
Without such a rise In
individual productivity, Mr.
Chalk said, workers cannot ex-
lpect substantial wage increases
without forcing corresponding
fare increases on the public
But he offered three direction;
from which transit workers car
expect progress.
Mr.. Chalk spoke at the open
ing session of the 34th biennial
convention of the Amalga-
mated Association of Street,
Electric Railway and Motor
Coach Employees of America
which has brought together
$50 transit union workers and
300 guests from the United
States and Canada for the FIVE
day meeting. the first ever held
Il in Washington.
Avenues Of Hope
There is hope for the transit
industry on three main ave-
nues," Mr.. Chalk said. He
listed these as:
/. The avoidance Of Geo.
nomic strike between manage
ment and workers so that Their
problems are not forced on the
public.
2. The presentation Of I
united front" by workers anC
management to the transit reg
ulatory agencies.
3. A joint effort by the work
ers and their employers to "sel
the public on new and stimula
ting ideas"
Mr.. Chalk said the nationa
economy has the capacity :,
truly abolish poverty and pro
duce an abundance In which al

warned. a rising standard o
living must be matched by tn

Thus. he said. the employer

D. c. Transit. he said. is try
ing for a variety of economies,
but we should have no illusions
about how far we can CO."
Mr.. Chalk said that labor
and management should work
together to keep the wheels
rolling, secure sympathetic
treatment from regulatory bod
les and present a new look" in
services to the public.
Cites Labor Crisis
At the same session Of the
convention. the Very Rev
Msgr. George c. Higgins. d.

Trade Unions
May GET Shots

Plan will be discussed here
Thursday to inoculate some 3d.
900 local building trades en-
ployes against an expected cpl
demic Of Asian flu this fall or

Harold Nightlinger. executive
secretary Of the Construction
Contractors Council. said the
meeting Of trustees from con-
struction firm health and well
fare funds will be held at 1880
pm. Thursday at the Hamilton
Hotel. The trustees include
representatives from both man.
agement and labor. About 100
firms will be represented.
Mr.. Nightlinger said en-
ployes of the companies could
be inoculated at a cost OF about
50 per person under the mass
plan. with the expense to be
borne by the health funds pro-
vided by employers. If en-
ployes were inoculated by their
own private physicians. the cost
would be about SIS a shot.
The council official said the
unions have been contacted
about the plan and are highly
enthusiastic" He said the out
side work done by those in the
building trades makes it almost
essential for them to have pro-
lection against the Asian flu
NEGOTIATIONS would be provided

Gov. McKeldin asserted that

Judge Ketcham has conferred
with the United States Mar

problem of summons and bench
warrants. At the end of the
last fiscal year. Juvenile Court
had 1900 undelivered bench
warrants.
We're issuing bench war
rants in a much more limited
way than formerly" Judge
Ketcham said. They have
been issued as punishment
when a man failed to turn UP
in court.

I'VE are re-examining al
bench warrants prior to July

can be withdrawn"
Judge Ketcham said TIT
more careful issuance of bench
warrants had resulted in les
work for the United Statei
Marshal's once. with the re-
suit that the chief marshal
Carlton Beall, has promised
that a third marshal will b
assigned to Juvenile Court.
Judge Ketcham, who wa
sworn in last May, said hi

WE WENT BACK to the
plant and came upon Socra-
ties, a handsome young man
of trim proportions with a
dark mustache.
MAKE a scroll. Socrates"
Mr.. Gichner said. Then he
turned to the Rambler: THE
spiral, is the basic design of
ornamental iron work"
Socrates heated the tip Of
an iron bar more than an
inch wide and almost half
an inch thick until it was
pink. He put the tip into a
steel form and bent it with
ease.
He didn't stop bending
when he got to the cold iron.
He increased his leverage by
grasping the end of the bar.
His biceps stood out like
iron bands" He kept bend
ing the cold iron until the
spiral had several more
loops. Try that on your fire.
place poker!
Socrates was a skilled
worker when he arrived" said
Mr.. Gichner. And he has
learned a lot here. Paul
Greiner, the greatest crafts
man we ever had, had given
him some of his know-how.
In hating English, Socra-
ties managed to convey to
the Rambler that his father
is a blacksmith, that he him
self has shod horses. made
steel tires for wagon wheels,
tools for farmers and some
ornamental work.
Asked where he came from
in Greece, he drew a little
map of the Peloponnessus
and indicated with a dot the
location Of his home, the port
city of Kalamata.
When the Rambler got
back to The Star he looked
up Kalamata in Lippincott's
Gazetteer. 1t is in the extreme
south of Greece on the Gulf
of Messenia, an inlet of the
Ionian Sea.
That brought back memo
ries Of George Gissing's by
the Ionian Sea-" one of the
finest books in our language.
That's why the Rambler
wishes Socrates could talk
to him.
He wishes Socrates could
tell him about the olive and
the orange groves, the fig
trees and the castle built by
the Crusaders about 1900. It
will be a long, long time be-
fore the Rambler will get to
the shores Of the Ionian Sea.

ONCE Of Management at Judge
I'VE are looking for ways TO
cut down on paper work and
ways to use our personnel to
much better advantage" Judge
Ketcham said.
Business Efficiency
I'm a sense. we are trying
to bring business efficiency to
the operations of the court. At
present there is entirely too
much duplication Of entries
and too much time wasted in
routine work.
I'm trying to give time to
the cases where there's real
trouble - where children are
really in a JAM"
Pre-trial detention hearings,
an innovation by Judg e
Ketcham a month ago, are also
helping to clear the courts
docket. the judge said. The
hearings within f1ve days after
a child's arrest have cut the
number Of children in the re-
ceiving home from more than
so a month ago to 16. he said.
1--WE can dispose Of about
half of the cases Of children at
the receiving home without a
trial at detention hearings,
Judge Ketcham said.
Rundown on Hearings
Detention hearings were held
for 50 children in the last
month. the judge said. and "a
cases were settled without
trials. Two children were re-
ferred for mental observation,
IL were released to their par
ents and IL went back to the
receiving home pending trial OF
probation reports.
Previously children might
wait up to 80 days in the Re-
ceiving Home while probation
oficers made investigations SC
reports would be ready for the
Judge when children appeared
In court.
But now, children are
brought to court within 1--WE
days of their arrest so they
can plead guilty or not guilty
thus making it possible to set
a trial date right away. Judge
Ketcham said.
That's how we've cut down
the population Of the Receiving
Home" the judge said. And
in that way. the children go to
trial sooner or go back to their
homes sooner or get the treat
ment they need right away. in
stead of waiting for six weeks
or two months before anything
happens"
Spreading Plan
Judge Ketcham is also max
ling plans to cooperate with
other Juvenile Court judges in
the Washington Metropolitan
Area.
THE jurisdictional question
Is settled by where the juvenile
offense occurs" the judge said,
But services like probation
after judgment by the court
don't have to be within the
same jurisdiction If we have
common standards"
Judge Ketcham said a jul
venile from nearby Maryland
or Virginia who commits an
offense in the District could be
allowed to report to a nearby
juvenile court probation officer
rather than q probation officer
at the juvenile court in the
District.
In the same way. the Judge
said, District youths who COM
nit offenses in the suburban
areas could. after conviction,
be required to report to proba-
ton officers in Washington.
Studies Other Courts
Judge Ketcham also an
nounced he plans to send men,
bers of his Juvenile Court staff
to examine procedures in other
juvenile courts. Most of his staff
has not visited other Juvenile
courts to get a standard OF
comparison. the judge said. He
hopes new ideas and increased
efficiency will result from ex-
change visits with other courts,

could get Socrates Myseros
to talk to him.
Socrates has been in this
country less than two years.
He knows very little English,
and a talk through an inter-
prefer is unsatisfactory.
Socrates is a blacksmith.
He was brought to the
Rambler's attention by Henry
Gichner of the Fred S. Gich-
ner Iron Works. Mr.. Gichner
was so proud of the skill of
his new iron worker recently
arrived from Greece that he
wrote the Rambler a letter.
That's a funny thing, the
Rambler thought, that you
would have to 60 as far as
Greece to find a skilled
workman in this once
common craft. (Mr. Gichner
didn't 60 to Greece, Socrates
came here; but it almost
amounts to the same thing.)
THE RAMBLER went out
to meet Socrates and en-
countered Mr.. Gichner in
front of his plant near
Twenty-fourth and M streets
NV. Two handsome iron
gates At enough for Buck
ingham Palace with knightly
helmets in the center of the

ner, the founder of this COM
pany," he said, made them
for the Townsend mansion,
now the Cosmos Club"
LET me drive you to the
Cathedral. Before you meet
him. I want you to see some
of this mans work."
On the way up Massa-
chusetts avenue Mr.. Gichner
pointed out iron gates guard
ing embassy doors made by
his father.
"There's not much orna-
mental iron work today" he
said. Half our business Is
building truck bodies"
The work at the Cathedral
was an iron hand rail on the
stone wall of the stairway
going down to the chapels
and the cryptS. 1t was a
thing of beauty.

Belle Livingstone Dies;
|Speokeosy Queen in '20s

NEW YORK. Feb. 8 P.-
Belle Livingstone, 92-year-old
New York speakeasy queen in
the roaring '20s" prohibition
era, died yesterday.
Miss Livingstone, whose con-
siderable fortune once enabled
her to live lavishly in a sprawl
ing French chateau. could claim
only a one-room apartment as
her home in the years before
her death.
Her real name was Isabelle
Graham Hutchins. She had been
in and out Of hospitals for
years. with a cardiac condition
and other ailments.
She had been taken from her
apartment to a hospital on No
vember 16, but made such i'm
provement she was able to leave
for a nursing home later. She
died at the nursing home.
In her heyday she was among
the best-known figures in New
York. She presided over a
number of lavish might clubs
actually speakeasies.
While her fortune long since
had disappeared. her friends
did not. Many visited her during
her last stay in the hospital, and
there were many phone calls
from others.
After spending many years in
Europe Miss Livingstone re-
turned to New York to become a
friendly rival of another cele-
brated speakeasy figure, Texas
Guinan.
Although they later had a
falling out. Miss Guinan helped
Miss Livingstone in setting up
| her first night club,
| Another famous figure Of the
era was Singer Helen Morgan.
On one occasion, it was reported,
Miss Morgan sent her bullet
