engineering firm which helped
prepare the recently published
Mass Transportation Survey.
The long-range solution is a

freeway-a nonstop highway
from the downtown inner loop
to the Wheaton area and be-
yond. This is one of the pro-
posalS in the transit survey.
The freeway, which would
connect with the inner loop
near North Capitol street and
New York Avenue, would fol-
low a path along North Capt.
toll street. swing to the west at
New Hampshire avenue, then go
due north toward the Wheaton
area.

would take lot of the through
traffic bound for Montgomery
County and ease driving for
District drivers"
Remedial Plans
The freeway is a long way
off. Meanwhile, the District
Highway Department has pro-
grammed some immediate
remedies. They include widen
ing of Sixteenth street north
from Irving street to Park road
by 8 feet. This will provide a
two-lane access to Sixteenth
street from Fifteenth street,
which angles in just north of
Irving street. The single &C
cess lane now backs up traffic
on Fifteenth street.
Work is well underway to-
ward creating a better flow of
traffic croSs-town from east to
west. Columbia road and Har-
ward street are now one-way
east of Sixteenth street. The
Irving street extension through
the Old Soldiers Home grounds
now provides a route connect
ing Northeast Washington with
Rock Greek Park.
Eventually, Kenyon street
will be a one-way thorough
fare west and Irving street
one-way east.
"TheSe are not earth-Shak-
ing solutions" said a District
highway official, but they will
help. They are the best we
can do, considering the money
we have and the heavily popu-
lated area we're working in"

The teen-age boys sat in
silent circle.
The minutes went by. The
psychologist calmly lighted his
pipe.
One boy sighed. Another
shifted in his chair. All had
something they could have
said-Should have said, for
their own piece of mind.
But it was a long time be-
fore anyone began talking.

Eventually someone did, and
troubled boys who had been
involved in HOUSEKEEPING, rob-
berry, car theft, truancy and
flights from home began to
talk about their problems to-
gether.
Regular Sessions Held
The boys were taking part

program for emotionally dis
turbed delinquent children at
the District Welfare Depart
ment's Children's Center at
Laurel, Md. 1t was launched
last February.
The sessions are part of the
center's overall program to pre-
pare the children for eventual
return to a normal life after
release from the institution.
DR.. Perl, chief of the pSy-
chology service at the center,
discussed in advance a report

the older boys group met. The
reporter was invited only with
the considered approval of all
the boys, and after having met

Have you wondered what the
modern supermarket will be
like by 1870?
The Institute for Motivated
Research, which delves into the
housewives subconscious, has
been scurrying about the Wash
ington area for the last few
months asking shoppers what
more they can want.
Some of the answers can
conceivably result in vast
changes in the mode of shop
ping at the chain store.
The researchers are asking
shoppers for their ideas in the
way of new gimmicks in "Op-
Grafton Daydream."
Besides asking local house
wives for suggestions, the re-
Searchers also have queried
some 1000 persons throughout
the country. Here are a few of
the ideas that have come up:
Replace push carts now in
use with "self-mobile grocery
carts" These would be large
enough for a pasSenger-shop-
per to ride and pluck items off
the shelves as the cart motors
along the aisles.
Issue credit cards for shop
ping convenience. This could
be likened to the old-fashioned
practice of the corner grocer
who kept a credit book for his
regular customers.
Eliminate going to the store
by making it possible for COM
plete telephone ordering COM
bined with home delivery. A
telephone recorder would
switch the housewives shop
ping list on to tape.

meats and steaks at the meat
department.

Unattended last weeks ses-
sion.
Once they began to talk
they talked of many things.
What do you do when you're
accused of something you didn't
do?" one youth asked. This
morning I was working in the
kitchen. I happened to be right
in the doorway when a kid in
side called the counselor going
by a name. The counselor
blamed me for it. Man, I was
mad"
Another Speaks Up
Silence fell again. But with a
gentle prod, DR.. Perl got an
other boy talking about a sim
liar experience years ago.
"One time my grandmother
lost $40 and told my mother
I took it. My mother beat
me. Then my grandmother
found the money and apollo
gized to me. But I still had
been beaten.
Another time in school two
kids were talking across me
and the music teacher accused
me of talking, too. You
couldn't tell him anything else.
He told me to get out. I left
and I didn't come back"
Still another boy chimed in:
Il remember one time in the
dining room when a kid threw
food at me. I picked up some
food myself, jumped over a
chair and hit him and a coun-
selor with it. But they said it
was my fault. He started it.
I only hit back, but I got
blamed"

boys into discussion of the
why behind the acts that
brought them to the center.

getting fierce"
A District highway official
Sorrowfully conceded that if
traffic increases continue at the
present rate, Sixteenth street
will be thoroughly congested
within a short time"
Over the last 20 years more
than a dozen schemes have
been proposed for elimination
of the multiple bottlenecks in
the Sixteenth and Irving streets
area. The most ambitious was
a plan for a tunnel from below
Harvard street beyond Irving
street.
This was rejected as too
costly.
NlSuOm questioned
Large-scale widening of Six
tenth street also was turned
down. The principal objection
was that it would require re-
moval of scores of trees planted
many years ago as a memorial
to the dead of World War I.
Consulting engineers who
studied the problem of moving
heavy volumes of traffic
through the north-central Sec
ton of the city also questioned
the wisdom of such a plan.
Not even drastic widening of
surface streets through the Dis
trict and SuburbS-with the loss
of trees, lawns and other amen
tiles of life in these attractive
residential areas-would pro-

Arlington Rule
Lets Workers
Join Unions
Board WithhoIds
Recognition and
Bans Solicitation


Arlington County employees
were told by the county board
yesterday that they may join
labor unions but that the local
government is prohibited by
State policy from recognizing
unions as bargaining agents.
The board stopped short of
giving recognition to labor
unions for fear that the Vir-
ginia General Assembly might
take retaliatory action against
Arlington.
Members had fresh in their
minds the Legislatures aboli-
ton Of Arlington's elected
school board in 1858 after the
country indicated its intention
to comply with the Supreme
Courts desegregation decision.
The board yesterday adopted
a resolution recommended by
County Manager A. T. Lund-
berg declaring: ut is the policy
of the county board that dur
ing working hours no person,
firm, organization or corpora
ton shall engage in the
solicitation Of county employees
for membership in any organi-
cation, the collection of pay
ments on debts. or any activi-
ties unrelated to the operation
of the county government.
1t went a step further, how
ever, and adopted a resolution
offered by Chairman David
Krupsaw declaring it is the
policy Of the county board
that all employees of Arlington
County shall have the unre-
stricted right to join or not to
join any union of their choice"
but adding that cit is the in
tention Of the county board to
follow the statement of policy"
of the Virginia General Assem-
bly,.
Question on Action
Police and f1remen, who are
prohibited from union activity
by state law, were excluded
from the Krupsaw measure.
Board Member Leo Urbanske
inquired if the county had a
right to act contrary to State
policy. He cited a joint resolu-
ton of the Legislature in 1916
declaring it against public
policy for any county or NUM-
cipal officer Ito recognize any
labor union . or to negotiate
with any such union :"
Commemorative Attorney
William j. Hassan replied the
board has the right" and that
the Legislatures resolution does
not have the force of law.
Hassan's Position
Board Member Herbert Brown
said he wanted to make Ger
tain that the proposed state
ment of policy would not
prevent any county worker
from joining a union. Mr.. Has
san agreed that it would not
The board then approved
Mr.. Lundberg's recommends
ton after he assured Mr.. Ur-
banske county employees would
not be fired just for talking
about union activities so long
as it does not interfere with
their work.

ed that certain employees had
been approached by union rep
TresentativeS. His reference ap-
parently was to recent organi-
cation activity among property

tors by o. B. Allen, field repre-

called, 81 stole the car once
of a teacher I didn't like. None
of the kids liked him. The
car was out in the parking
lot and l just went and took
it.
But I din't always steal
cars" he added. Sometimes
I slashed tires. I don't always
do the same thing, but I try
to get even with people who
haven't been square with me. -
DR.. Perl asked: Gould it be
that in taking cars and slashing
tires you were reaching out
against the power of adult
life?"
The boy said. That's right"
Another boy recalled his ar
rest for HOUSEKEEPING. IT didn't
even try to explain to the po-
lice" he said. They knew
I'd broken in before. But that
last time. l took money from
a man l was working for who
didn't pay me hardly anything.
I felt he owed me that money. {"
A sixth youngster belongs in
this group. He has run away.
An empty chair was reserved
for him last week, and is being
kept ready for him.
Paradoxical as it may sound,
DR.. Perl believes this boy was
one of the most responsive to
therapy.
Never Said Much
"John-we'll call him that
never said much at the ses-
sions, but he communicated all
the same" he explained. "At
the third session he lighted my
pipe.
John was in the security
cottage, and had been in isola-
ton there after he went on a
rampage and practically tore
it to pieces.
"Yet when the group went on
a trip to the beach John went
along because he said he knew
he wouldn't try to run away.
Another boy, not in the security
cottage, decided not to go be-
cause he was afraid he would
run.
"At the end of the day, John
was still with us. He came back
and knocked on the door Of the
cottage. He even had to wait
patiently awhile until some one
heard him and let him in"
But John finally did run
away-while DR.. Perl was on
vacation, although the thera-
pist had discussed his coming
absence with the boys. John
showed his anxiety before run
ming by asking for more details
from therapist Stewart G. Pen
nington. who works with DR..
Perl in the boys groups.
1T seems he felt that he had
been abandoned again." DR..
Perl observed.
Not Aggressive Enough
All youths who get in trouble
aren't aggressive. Some are pas
sive, insure youngsters who
follow the leader.
The session experlence-give
and take in an atmosphere of
mutual respect and concerns
a vital one these youngsters
have missed.
"They have had nothing but
n e g a tive experience in a
group before" DR.. Perl ex-
planned.
When the girls group meets,
the second therapist is a wom-
an, Miss Geraldine StoweIl. DR..
Perl and co-therapist are both
present at every session. All
taking part have agreed not to
discuss the program outside the
otflce-including the therapists.
Similar groups are planned
in the future for the retarded
at Children'S Center.
OF the delinquents he is now
trying to help, both boys and
girls, DR.. Perl explained:
They all have assumed
masks. Some, the mask of the
toughie. Some, the one of the
jester. Some. the mask of
who cares We hope they will
risk lowering them and dare
to find and be themselves"
