Group to Aid
Study Of
Delinquency

District ofiicials are working
with q private research organi-
zation on plans for q study Of
the factors behind the city's
juvenile delinquency trends.
Funds for the analysis will
be sought from the National
Institutes Of Health.
The Commissioners last May
approved q request by their
Interdepartmental Statistical
Committee for authority to try
to interest some social research
groups in the project.
The COMMITTEE made the re-
quest after submitting a So
page report in juvenile crime
statistics covering q five-year
period:
Offcials last night reported
that a non-profit organization
the Bureau Of Social Science
Research. recently agreed te
conduct the study II funds are
provided.
The five-year report. pre-.
pared by q subcommittee
headed by Raymond F. Clapp
who since has retired as re.
search consultant for the Wei.
fare Department, would pro.
vide the starting point for the
project.
The research group, located
at 2017 Connecticut avenue

Daily Pollen Count Storts Tomorrow
AsSneeze Season Officially Opens

the southern part OF the home,
hit by the prevailing winds,
showed the heaviest deposit Of
pollen.
Inside, the slides showed less.
There was q IT'S count on q
slide by an opened southern
window and from 4 too grains
on slides behind q refrigerator.
There were 8 grains on q slide
in q completely closed room.
Although the pollen count

Air Conditioning Aids
Air conditioning is Of great
help. Face masks are most USE
full but, say aIlergists. unfortu-
nately socially unacceptable.
For those who cannot af-
ford air conditioning, a card
board box fitted in the window
with an oil furnace filter Is
excellent. A fan is placed on
the window sill to blow all
from the outside through the
filter in one end of the box.
Allergists have q few other
suggestions too:
When you drive, close the
car windows and especially the
air scoops on the car: Avoid
drafts and keep the window;
closed (if you can stand it, ir

Juvenile Crime Rising
He said 1t was only q rough
estimate that this rate would
be doubled by q year from

the rising rate of juvenile crime

admissions to the National
Training School and the need

His predecessor In Juvenile
Court waived only q few cases
Ia year until shortly before
Judge Ketcham came on the
bench. During the past fiscal
year. Judge Ketchain waived
jurisdiction over 1O3 cases.
In most cases where Judge
Ketcham sends youths to Dis

them under the Federal Youth
Corrections Act. Mr.. Clemmer
said 200 District youths are now

The hay fever season is OH
cially recognized this week end
with the District Medical Socie-
ty scheduled to begin its daily
pollen count tomorrow.
The pollen vary in number
from block to block. but II you
live In nearby Maryland you
may be better on than If you
live in the District or nearby
Virginia.
Preliminary studies indicate
that Northern Virginia Is q
huge reservoir Of pollen. carried
by the prevailing southerly
winds and caught by urban
Washington. leaving such areas
as Silver Spring more free Of
trouble,
Suburbs Help
This too, allergists say, could
change For as Northern VIZ
ginia continues to be built up,
there will be fewer ragweed-
laden fields.
Looking forward to annual
trouble, DR.. Eloise w. Kailin.
the Medical Society's official
pollen counter, said yesterday
the Districts usual peaks in
pollen grains per cubic yard
are found between August "a
and September 5. Afterwards
there is often q sharp drop In
the pollen count and the hay
fever sufferers discomfort.
The highest District pollen
count In recent years was 42s
per cubic yard in 1852, fol.
lowed by 800 September Q Last
year. The lowest high was l8l
in 1856.
Silver Spring Lucky
Last year, however. it wa.
shown that Silver Spring hac
only half the pollen count that
the District had. On the Other
hand, Annandale, Va, wal
much higher.
Many hay fever sufferers II
this area flee to Ocean CITY
during the late summer Il
escape the 'sneezing effects o.
air-borne pollen.
This, according to q studl
made recently by DR.. Kailin
