House Blocks
Changes in
Judge Bill.

The House this afternoon
asked for a committee confer
ence after refusing to agree tC
Senate amendments to a bill
/ for a second Juvenile Court
judge here.
The measure cleared the Sen
ate last week with three prin-
cipal changes over the House
version. Two of the amend
ments were sponsored by Sena-
tor Frear, Democrat OF Dela-
ware, a member of the Senate
District Confmittee, who op-
| posed the nomination of Juve.
lnile Court Judge Orm w. Ket-
cham last year.
One of the changes would
place the courts clerk anC
deputy clerk under civil serv-
X ice, rather than having the of
fees filled by appointment oi
Judge Ketcham.
/ The second amendment oi
Senator Frear would require
the court to file quarterly re-
ports of its work with the At
torney General and the District
Commissioners. These records
would be open to public in
spection and show such infor-
nation as total number of cases
heard and calendared. COM
plants filed, cases closed with
out hearings and money COL
lected.
A third amendment, by Sen
ator Kennedy, Democrat oi
Massachusetts, may prove to be
the major point of difference
when House and Senate con-
ferees get together.
The House bill required that
the second judge should have
been a resident of the Wash
ington Metropolitan Area for
five years Immediately preced-
ing his appointment.
Senator Kennedy's amend
ment removed the word i'm
mediately.", thus allowing a
five-year interrupted residence
| in the area.

bad apple is likely to spoil

The dandelions in the lawn
aren't his fault, but he
should have cut them while
they we're blossoming. He
kept weeds down by following
the advice of Bill Youngman,
garden editor of The Star.
Bill said that buying top
soil was buying someone
elses weed seeds. He slg-
gested filling the chinks be-
tween the squares of sod
with q neutral material,
sand and peat moss. The
sod was laid about a year
and a half ago.
1t has worked out fairly
well. Grass has grown up
through the sand and made

do now! The Rambler tele-
phoned Bill Youngman at
the Department of Agricul-
ture and found he was in
California. What to do!
Johnnie Skiles would
be in the restaurant for
lunch. Johnnie was with
the Antitrust Division of
the Department of Justice,
but when it comes to lawns,
he is a monopoliSt. He
thinks that grass should
take them over entirely.
The Rambler had once heard
him talk at length across
the luncheon table on the
care Of lawns, but had paid
him no mind. This time it
would be different.
"There is absolutely no
excuse for dandelions in a
lawn" Johnnie began, not
realizing what a Scolding he
was delivering. For a dollar
or a dollar and a half one
can buy a chemical in liquid
or powder form that will
eliminate the dandelionS
from 10000 square feet of
