need more help.
II have no solution to the
welfare problem, he told a
luncheon meeting of the Wash
ington Chapter of the Frontiers
of America at the Dunbar Ho-
tel.
He did offer two suggestions,
however. He said he hopes
there can be a healthier econ
omy' in which more people
can be educated to become
contributing" rather than re
ceiving citizens.
Mr.. Sullivan compared citi-
zens who are constantly on the
welfare rolls with inmates of
st. Elizabeth's Hospital who
become so used to having peo-
pie do things for them that
they hate to leave.
The Commissioner also af-
firmed his previous proposal for

Il am optimistic that the

Yesterday. We're not looking
for a bonanza. but we hope in
a year or so to get more help"
Mr.. Sullivan said next years
Washington budget will be
larger than this years - and
that as a result there will have
to be more taxes. This. he
feels, is inevitable"
There is no way of avoiding
more spending next year, the
Commissioner said, without
closing our eyes, to the needs
Of the city.
He said the physical plant
of the District is in punk
shape" and that there is a
need for more and better

If Glenn G. Trotter hadn't
lost a fountain pen one De-
cember 7, he wouldn't be alive
today.
He looked high and low for
his pen 19 years ago this morn
ing in the crew quarters of the
battleship Utah. He wanted to
settle down in a favorite spot
near the ships bow to write
a letter home.
1t was nearly 8 o'clock that
quiet Sunday morning, and Mr..
Trotter, of 4762 South Capitol
terrace S.W., was growing i'm
patient at the time lost look
ing for the pen.
At 1855, another young sailor

Circle

The men who worry more
about q line of creeping cars
than the frustrated motorists
who drive them-the traffic
Iengineers-descended on Chevy
Ctase circle yesterday.
They conducted what is
known In the trade as an
origin and destination study
This means they watched where
you came from and where you
were going.
The information will help
decide whether an underpass
should be built at the circle,
said Francis E. Twiss. District
traffic engineering director.
Mr.. Twiss said the one day
survey was conducted in CO.
operation with the Maryland
State Roads Commission.
The reason is that the Dis
trict owns a little more than
half the circle while the SRC
owns the rest. Any construc-
ton. Mr.. Twiss said. would
have to be a joint undertaking
Engineers jotted down license
numbers of cars as they en-
tered and left the circle, which
sits on the District line at the
junction of Connecticut and
Western avenues.
II an underpass is needed, the
information could help decide
which way 1t would be built.
Mr.. Twiss estimated 10000 cars
were counted.
The information will 60 to
the traffic planning subcommit-
tee of the Metropolitan Area
Traffic Council. Mr.. Twiss said
he doubted a report would be
ready for the groups meeting

He said conditions at the
crowded circle have passed the
point where they can be eased
by reshufling traffic control de-
vices.

TRIALS CAN HAVE drama,
but not in the tight-packed
hour Of the Perry Mason
shows. Courthouse drama is
real-and worth waiting for.
Good trial lawyers are a
delight, and poor ones can
cause dismay among the
spectators as we'll as in the
hearts and hopes of their
clients.
Good cross examination Is
the conflict that is the es-
sence of drama but it is i'm
possible to transfer it un-
damaged to the stage. For
one thing, in the courtroom
no one knows what is coming
next.
The witness who is lying Is
almost bound to be exposed
by a good cross-examiner
and a witness desperately
trying to tell the truth will
have his credibility whitfield
away, in part at least, by
demonstrations of the falli-
bility of his memory.
There is always suspense
for no matter how clear cut
the case, how overwhelming
the evidence, no one knows
what the jury is going to do.
The Rambler went around
the left side of the old court
house and was glad to see the
beautiful Diana had a coat
OF bright gold. She wasn't
like that when he covered the
courts.
The clerk at the traffic
window in Municipal Court
was very courteous. He asked
VIII ct her the defendant
wanted a jury trial or to pay
the penalty. The Rambler
elected to pay SO. You never
know what a Jury is going

Juvenile Court officials view
the Subcommittee's action ear

delaying tactic on the part of
Representative Davis to avoid
doing anything constructive for

But while they are fairly
confident any legislation en-

afraid his arguments might ap-
peal to a number of people in
the city.

2. Shift Juvenile Court, now
autonomous, to Municipal
Court. Judge Ketcham would be
subject to the general supervi-
sion of Judge Smith under this
Arrangement.
3. Authorize the appointment
of another Municipal Court
judge. Any Municipal Court
judge could be freed to handle
juvenile cases if overcrowded
dockets justified the assign

trolls over the secrecy of Juvenile
