Judge Ketcham has CO.
operated with the Police De-

Mr.. Gasch'S Views
Mr.. GaSch pointed out that
the District Council on Law
Enforcement, which he now
heads. has long been inter-
eSted in building up the Ju-
venile Court 80 that it can
more effectively and more real
iStically discharge its obliga-
tons in the field of juvenile
delinquency"
He recalled that the council,
in its first Juvenile Court study
in 1854, recommended at least
one more judge if cases were to
be handled on any other basis
than assembly line justice.
Since that study" Mr.
Gasch went on, "the doors as
well as the records of Juvenile
Court have been opened"
= He was referring to an end
to the cloak of secrecy which
Mr.. Davis has previously crit

Reviewing the many and var
led responsibilities borne by the
Juvenile Court judge. Mr..
Gasch said:
Judges should do the judg-
ing; no matter how competent
or devoted and dedicated a staff
may be. the judgment of the
staff is no substitute for the
Judgment of a judge.
Prompt arraignments and
the effective control and dis
position of juvenile crime and
delinquency can be achieved
only if the offender is promptly
brought before the Judge him.
self while the crime is fresh in
his mind and he knows why he
is in court. 1t is at this time
that meaningful impression
can be created in the mind OF
the offender. The opportunity
for change in the attitude OF
the offender can effectively be
achieved at this time. We will
lose entirely this most i'm
portant opportunity if we lack
judge power"

Lennie Keeps Poise
InHouse of Fear

Lennie's home is filled with
fear.
Sometimes it seems as if it
all must be a disturbing dream.
He lives in a dark, damp,
dingy apartment. His parents
both drink-his father is
abusive, his mother battered.
The refrigerator is as often
empty as not.
Lennie is IL. His older broth
ers, angry and destructive,
frighten his parents as much
as they do him.
The family lives in the
shadow of violence.
So far, Lennie has managed
to avoid his grim heritage.
Although he shows signs of
strain, he is cooperative and
helpful, too.
A Child who has had little

and that they did not want to
make any charges at this time
Mr.. David said it has not
been decided whether to take
any further steps, but he
pointed out that his clients
were free to return at any time
to name the officers they say
have been collecting a 20 per
cent kickback from them for
years.
In my opinion, if this kick
backs has been going on, it
will be stopped" Mr.. David
said. However, he said those
were his words, not Chief Sui
livan's.
1858 Protest Recalled
Two other guides had accom-
panied Mr.. Taylor, Mr.. Reed
and Mr.. Marshall to Chief
Sullivan'S Office, but both left
early.
One, Paul A. Swan, 80, a
partner in the Union Sightsee-
ing Tours, wrote a letter a year
ago to the then Capitol Police
Chief. Robert C. Pearce, charg-
ing that some of his officers
were collecting payoffs. Mr..
Swan was president of the
Guide Association at that time.
That case was dropped when
the guides would not name the
officers involved.
The latest charges arose on
July 6, when both Mr.. Taylor
and Mr.. Reed testified in Mu-
nicipal Court that they had
been paying some officers.
IF you don't pay them, you
don't get any work." Mr.. Tay-
lor testified.
Following that case - in
which Mr.. Taylor and Mr.. Reed
were acquitted of charges they
tempered with another guides
auto-the Senate Rules Com
mittee ordered an investiga-
ton.

The
Rambler
Applies
For Passport
By GEORGE KENNEDY

The Rambler hailed a cab
yesterday and asked to be
taken to the State Depart
ment'S passport office,
He has an extended vaca-
ton coming up and there is
a poSsibility-rather remote
that he might go abroad.
Anyway, it's a good thing
to have a passport. The one
he has, a joint husband and
wife passport, was issued in
1854, and has never been
renewed.
The taxi took him to the
new or almost new office
building at TIT H street
NV. with the somewhat for
midable name of "Matomic
Building" over the door.
The Washington passport
office is just inside and to
the right. 1t is in a large
room with waist high parti-
tons devoted to the issuing
of pasSports-public pass
ports, official passports, mil
itary passportS-the whole
painted green.
The comfortable waiting
room is furnished with
leather couches, deeply up
holStered. In a few minutes
it came his turn to be inter-
viewed. There had been only
three applicants, all family
groups, ahead of him.
He asked so many ques-
tionS that he was sent up
stairs to see William G. Nc
Elroy, the general manager,
under the director, Miss
Frances knight.

officers when confronted with
a law providing stiff penalty
for anyone bribing a Federal
employee.
Chief Sullivan, who has
maintained a tight silence
about the case, declined to
comment, even when asked if
the investigation was contin-
uing.
The manner in which the
bribery law was brought to
the guides attention was un-
clear.

One of the three guides,
Francis M. Taylor, So, of 4765
Lee highway, Arlington. Va,
said the section of the United
States Code was read aloud to
him by Chief Sullivan and that
he was "intimidated" when he
learned that it provided a
$1,000 fine and six months in
Jail, or both.
Thomas David, attorney for
the guides. protested strongly
that it was he, and not Chief
Sullivan, who read the law and
that he advised his clients not
to make any statement because
what they say may tend to in
eliminate them"
Mr.. David insisted his clients
had not been intimidated.
well, maybe he (Chief Sulli-
van) didn't intimidate me, but
that law sure did," Mr.. Taylor
said.

Chief Sullivan refused to say
who read the law aloud.

SORRY" HE SAID, your
passport has expired. A pass
port is good for two years.
You may make one renewal,
and in that event it expires
after flour years from the
date it was first issued.
But the fact that you
have had a passport will
speed things up. Are you in
a hurry? If you were, we
could issue you a passport in
a jiffy, after we had your
application, a new picture
and $40.
You see, we have in our
files that you were born in
the United States.
Nov as to the new pic
ture, I suggest a color photo.
We changed the rule to al
low color photos about a
year ago.
And I'm told they still
create quite a sensation at
some frontier or border Gus
toms houses. The civil Serv-
ant who has been stamping
black-and-white photos all
day will let out a shout, when
he comes upon your color

bring all his countrymen
running to see it.

provingly. The color photo
is getting to be the mark
of the firSt-claSS American
tourist. And it really doesn't
cost so much more"
The passport office is

April, about Easter. 1t is then
as busy as as department

District Welfare Bill
Sent to Senate Unit
Consolidation
OF Assistance
Laws Proposed

A bill to consolidate Wash
ington's public assistance laws
was referred today to the Sen
ate District Committee.
The measure, introduced by
Chairman Bible, is similar to
others requested in past years
by the District Commissioners.
The latest effort by the city
heads may be given considera-
ton before the end of the
present session Of Congress.
In the past, the Senate twice
has passed similar bills only to
have them die because of House
inaction.
The effect of the bill would
be to make uniform the regula-
tons governing three types of
public aSSistance-aid to de-
pendent children. old-age as
SiStance and aid to needy blind.
Chief among the provisions
would be a requirement that
relatives of the needy could be
made financially responsible in
cases involving dependent chill
dren. This responsibility now
can be invoked only in the old
age assistance and aid to the
needy blind categories.
Three Bills Signed
President Eisenhower yester-
day signed three bills extend
ing until June 30, 1861, Federal
financing up to SO million for
the new Southeast Washington
Hospital, naming the proposed
southbound Fourteenth street
the George Mason Memorial
Bridge and lifting the ban on
the number of trustees in GER
tain insurance corporations.
On one of the two days set
aside monthly for District
business, the House cleared
seven minor bills within min
utes. One would permit the
Commissioners to illustrate
their annual reports sent to the
White House. City officials
have tried for two years for
Congressional permission to put
charts and pictures in such re-
ports.
Washington stadium legisla-
ton, by far the most impor-
tant measure before the House,
was blocked on the floor.
Passed by the House and
sent to the Senate was sep
arate legislation promising a
new home to the Association
OF the Oldest Inhabitants. Com
miSsioners could turn over to
the association an old fire
engine house at 32lO M
street NV.
Bills Reach Senate
The Senate also received from
the House bills that would:
/. Forbid courts to demand
as testimony confidential state
mentS given ministers of reli-
gion in their professional ca
pacltleS, without consent of
their communicates. Only doc
tors enjoy such immunity under
current law.
2. Permit st. AIMS Infant
Asylum to expand and to build
facilities in Maryland and Vir-
GINA. The home now is To-
Gated at 1900 California street
NV.
3. Grant real estate tax ex-
emption to the new Offices of
the Veterans of Foreign Wars
and 300 Maryland avenue NE.
The WV enjoyed similar
privileges in building from
which it was forced by Capitol
expansion to move.

question of more judges for
the one-man court. The Sen
ate has already passed a bill
creating two additional judge
ships.
Judge Rover Speaks
StressinE the immediate need
for more judges in statements
today were Chief Judge Leo
Rover of the Municipal Court
of Appeals, United States At
torney Oliver GaSch and Police
Chief Robert v. Murray.
1T is the unanimous opinion
of all who have studied the
operations of the court that
this additional personnel is
urgently needed" said Judge
Rover. 81 can readily appreci-
ate Judge Davis concern that
there be no coddling of juvenile
offenders, particularly those
charged with offenses which
would constitute felonies if
committed by adults.
During my service as United
States attorney, came to know
and greatly admire Judge Davis
for his invaluable assistance in
securing badly needed legisla-
ton in the field of law enforce
ment and 1 can understand his
feeling that procedures in the
Juvenile Court should be geared
to a sane and realistic handling
of juveniles who commit serious
offenseS."
1T may be that a careful
study of the problems of the
court will result in recommen-
dationS for a revamping of the
Juvenile Act, but the immediate
and pressing need is for at least
two additional judges with sup
port personnel.
More Judges Needed
Judge Rover said he was
confident that Juvenile Court
Judge Orm Ketcham is now
making full use of his waiver
power to guarantee proper dis
position in the cases of hard
ened offenders. He added that
he believes an even more eff
cient Job can be done if more
judges are now added to the
court leaving for the future
basic changes that might be
indicated after a careful and
detailed study has been made
by competent and objective cit
liens of this community"
Il sincerely feel" he con-
cluded. that the hearings that
are to be held will demonstrate
the immediate need of addi-
tional judges. Those of us who
are vitality interested in strict
law enforcement in this city
are most fortunate that a gen.
tleman of the caliber of Judge
Davis is willing to take the lead
in improving in every way pos
sible the functioning of our
law enforcement agencies"
Chief Murray'S Ideas
Chief Murray, expressing the
Police Departments support
for two additional Juvenile
Court judges, said:
From a law enforcement
point Of view, it is in the public
interest for a juvenile to appear
before the court as soon as pos
sible after being taken into Gus

18th Century Thinking"

II have been waiting to see
whether anything but 18th
century thinking would come
out of this report" he said,
land I have not been disap-
pointed"
Mr.. Chalk said he objected
to the reports contention that
the major regional transit sys-
tenn would have to be publicly
owned and charged that most
of the recommendations" are
aimed toward that end.
Mr.. Mclaughlin said the first
steps in his groups campaign
will be taken soon by a Spe-
cial transportation committee
headed by Charles r. Fenwick,
Virginia State Senator from
Arlington County.
THE transportation problem
is the single most important
one the regional conference
can tackle" Mr.. Mclaughlin
told the officials.
Not Offered in Senate Yet
Mr.. Fenwick said it is logical
that area officials "carry the
ball." and urged that one of
the most essential early steps
is for Congress to ratify an
interstate compact which would
set up an areawide commission
to regulate public transit. The
Legislatures of Maryland and
Virginia already have ratified
the agreement.
The compact legislation has
not even been introduced III the
Senate. In the House, it has
been referred to the Judiciary
Committee, but no hearings
have been held.

Traffic Plan
DriveOpened
Reception Maps
Sole to Public
By GEORGE BEVERIDGE
Star staff Writer

An intensive grass roots"
campaign to gain public sup
port for the massive highway
transit proposals of the Wash
ington Mass Transportation
Survey report has been prom
iSed by area officials.
The drive was launched OFF,
.cially at a reception last night
in the Hotel Statler, attended
by more than 100 legislators and
local governing officials of the
region.
Harland Bartholomew, chair
man Of the National Capital
Planning Commission, handed
a copy of the survey report to
District Commissioner Robert
E. Mclaughlin, chairman of the
Washington Metropolitan Re-
gional Conference, a voluntary
organization Of area governing
officials. Mr.. Bartholomew said
the presentation was a SYM
bolic one to indicate that the
report produced by planning
agencies. now is in the hands
of political leaders.
Calls for Sale Campaign
Donald E. Gingery. chairman
of the National Capital Re-
gional Planning Council, called
on official groups to hit the
grass roots trail to sell the
program" to citizens in each
jurisdiction. He said the mas
sive program, in this way, must
be made "palatable" to the
public so that political leaders
will not be afraid to support
the huge expenditures needed
to solve the transportation
problem.
The report, made public over
the weekend, was put forth as
an ideal solution of the traffic
dilemma of 1880. 1t urged a
$2.5 billion package of free
ways. express bus facilities and
rapid rail SubwayS and surface
commuter trains.
The single unenthusiaStic
guest at the reception was o.
Roy Chalk, president of D. c.
Transit, Inc, who has proposed
that his firm be encouraged to
build a monorail system
throughout the region. He has
derided the estimated costs of
the surveys system and said
he could build a monorail system
for half the cost. He has not
explained his financing pro-
