The
Rambler
-. Meets Man
Under Pressure
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

Eight or nine times an hour
the public address system at
the National Press Club
booms out Bill Lawrence,
Bill Lawrence"
And the husky, although
somewhat overweight, Ne
braskan gets up and goes to
a telephone.
The press club president
is under more pressure than,
any man in Washington. He
has the responsibility Of dis
tributing tickets to the
Khrushchev luncheon at the
club on September 16.
At present he is sure Of
only one thing: That there
are 400 places at the tables
which will be set for the
luncheon.
The televised Frol Kozlov
luncheon at the Statler- Hill
ton before members of the
National Press, the Women's
National Press and the Over
seas Writers Clubs was very
unsatisfactory in one impor-
tant respect. The questions
were censored.
Bill was determined that If
the Press Club was going to
have anything to do with it,
Khrushchec would be asked
questions just the same as
previous guests, a list which
includes most of the historic
names of two world wars. The
board of the club was of the
same mind.
There was a conference Of
the heads of the three clubs
with Andy Berding, Assist
ant Secretary of State, at the
State Department. The Rus
sian Embassy had tentatively
accepted and on Wednesday
Ambassador Menshikov sent
for Bill and made it definite.
1t was planned to withhold
announcement until details
could be Strengthened out but
1t was too good a story. OF
necessity too many newspa-
permen and women knew
about it and on Saturday it
was on the wires and in
newspapers all over the
world.
Immediately the telephone
began to ring. A telephone
operator had to be brought
In on the summer Saturday
to answer calls end say that
Mr.. Lawrence had no further
inform afinn
On Monday there was a
flood of letters, many con-
tanning checks. They were
returned with a form letter
saying instructions on apply
ing would be sent to mem
berS.
The Press Club has three
types Of members, active"
which means working news
men of the press, the radio
and Tv. There are about
loo of these. There are
about $50 "nonactive," which
means former newsmen, and
about 100 associate" or nom
newsmen members.
And only 400 seats.

Ketcham recalled. made a
number of recommendations.
Most of these have been car
ried out. The major recon-
mendation of the council that
has not been followed was the
urgent proposal for more
Judges for Juvenile Court.
In his speech, delivered just
before the House adjourned at
7:09 pm, Mr.. Davis said that
| If a Judge or judges are added
to the Juvenile Court now
that action in itself will make
it more difficult to enact addi-
tional Juvenile Court legisla-
ton later"
The subcommittee, he assert
ed, should study whether the
names of habitual juvenile Of
tenders should be publicized
whether juvenile age limit
should be reduced from 10 to 16
and whether criminal charges
should be placed against youths
in Juvenile Court for major
crimes Of violence.
Judge Davis declared:
Il believe there is great need
for changing the law so that
adequate punishment can be
meted out in Juvenile Court to
juveniles who commit major
crimes of violence. This cannot
be done under existing law"
He added that a study should
be made Of cases handled in
Juvenile Court Ito determine
whether or not the court is
really serving as a deterrent to
juvenile crimes or whether il
is serving to encourage the
commission of crime by ju-
veniles here in the District"
Puts Study First
He said such studies could
be completed within a few
months.
Then, according to Judge
Davis, the subcommittee, vii

conditions which now exist ir

mittee). along with me, should
be pilloried, demeaned and viii.
fed by these Washington news
papers for exercising our judg.
ment on these matters which
have come within our iurisdic-
ton"
He singled out the Wash.
ington Post for his severest
criticism in its coverage of the
matter, but added that the
Washington Daily News anc
The Evening Star may stand
a little higher on the ladder
Of journalistic ethics, but such
difference as exists is not as
much a matter of principle a:
it is a matter of degree"
He described the three Wash
ington newspapers as "sensa-
tion-mongering."

In Highway
Death Toll

The last rush Of summer
started today.
Thousands of Washington
area residents headed out Of
the city, getting a Jump on the
traditional three-day Labor
Day week end.
Weather experts see a hot
and humid holiday period.
Scattered showers also are ex-
pected, both Sunday and Mon
day. followed by a cooling-off
period, which they say could
arrive late Monday night.
The usual dire prediction
hat accompanies any holiday
was made by the National
Safety Council, which esti-
mated traffic accidents could
kill as many as $50 persons
over the three-day span. The
estimate covers 70 hours-from
Is O'Clock tonight to midnight
Monday. Last year 400 persons
died on the Nations highways
in the same period.
Tragedy Deplored
Two top labor leaders pointed
out that the day dedicated to
the cause of labor has become
synonymous with a mounting
toll of death and injury :"
In a joint statement, ALL
CLIO President George Meany
and the organizations secre-
tary treasurer, William F.
Schnitzler, stated that Labor
Day is a symbol Of the trade
union movements devotion to
a better life for workers and
for all Americans. 1t must not
be allowed to become a symbol
of tragedy, of death by care
lessness."
The two union officers urged
union members to set an ex-
ample Of safety during the
holiday.
Meanwhile, the local division
Of the American Automobile
Association provided the esti-
mate that about 100000 resi-
dents will roll out of the area
in automobiles, three persons
to every car.
Rail. bus and plane terminals
reported the rush was under
way today. Additional service
was being provided.

which has bottled up legisla-
ton for two more Juvenile
Court judges, told the House
that the newspapers had will
fled" him and his subcommit-
tee.
He attacked Mr.. Mclaughlin
for filing an unfavorable re-
port in 1856 on his bill for a
2,500-man police force.
More Police Asked Now
Mr.. Mclaughlin said the
Commissioners at that time OPP
posed the police bill because 1t
put them in a Judiciary
strait jacket" He pointed out
that with the subsequent rise
in crime he has now asked Con-
gress for 100 more police i'm
mediately and probably will ask
for another 400 in January.
Commenting on Mr.. Davis
statement that there is no
crying need this week or next
week to add one judge or two
judges to the Juvenile Court.
Mr.. Mclaughlin said:
Every day makes the situa-
ton worse. What we need is
judges now to get the docket
current. There has been a cry
ing need for these judges for
the past couple Of years. When
juveniles who cannot be
reached on the docket are out
committing more crimes, we
believe there is a crying need
for more judges"
Blame Placed
In criticizing the newspapers,
Mr.. Davis declared:
"All three OF them have con-
tributed in promoting the fac
tors and conditions which have
resulted in Washington getting
in the sorry condition it finds
itself with reference to crime
illegitimacy and changing pop
ulation."
He defended the subcommit-
tees action. which virtually
killed all hope of passage OF
such a bill this session. as an
attempt to study the situation
comprehensively.
He declared:
There are other actions
needed in the Juvenile Court
besides the addition of a Judge
or judges"
There is no need" he said
ITO pick this up piecemeal."
He cited other cities of COM
parable size, such as Boston,
ST. Louis. San Francisco and
Baltimore. which he said have
only one Juvenile Court judge.
Lesser Loads Seen
Judge Orm w. Ketcham OF
Juvenile Court today said OF
this comparison with other
cities that the one judge in
Boston handles only juvenile
cases and his jurisdiction
covers only the downtown area.
In Baltimore. he reported,
the juvenile judge handles
youth cases only up to the age
of 16 and is aided by a referee
who also hears cases. In San
Francisco. Judge Ketcham said,
referees also hear cases.
Judge Ketcham also COM
mented on Mr.. Davis statemen
that no comprehensive study
had ever been made of Juvenile
Court laws and procedures
here. He pointed out that the
District Council on Law En-
forcement, which was created
by Davis-sponsored legislation,
made a thorough study in 1854,
