Smog Picture Clear,
But Might Cloud Up

The United States Public
Health Service today released
its first report on data collected
in its new network of smog-
sampling stations in the Met
ropolitan Area.
Based on incomplete but sub
stantial readings during the
last week in September, there
was no smog to speak of in the
Washington area.
But experts in the USPHS
Air Pollution Division appended
a note of caution.
The relatively clear state of
the atmosphere in the week
beginning September 26 was at
tributed primarily to brisk
breeze.
Readings - given in PPMs
(oxidant parts per million)-
were received from four of the
seven new smog stations. The
stations are located in down.

The boy with the problem

Miss Discher said that Mr.

his supervisor would approve

Commonwealth'S Attorney
William Hassen asserted that
they entered the surprise plea
today because, They know
we've got the evidence on them
and they are trying to get as
lenient a sentence as they can"

A third man from the Detroit
area, Eugene Ayotte, "a, whom
police also arrested less than an
hour after the kidnapping, will
enter a plea tomorrow, accord
ing to his attorney, Richard
Shadyac.
Circuit Court Judge William

After Arlington police res
cued him from a 1858 Cadillac
which his abductors were driv-
ing along a county road, the
weeping Wordon told detec-
tiyes that all he wanted was
"a gun and headstart."
However, despite numerous
legal efforts, including an ap-
peal to the United States Su-
preme Court to free him, he
has been held eve since the
kidnapping as a material wit
ness. Mr.. Hassan reported
that he will be released after
Ayotte enters his plea tomor-
row. Wordon has an extensive
criminal record, police said.
Probable Motivation
During one of the hearings,
Mr.. Hassan said that motiva-
ton of the abduction probably
was desire to recover $4,000
in stolen money.
This is a case of someone
stealing from someone who was

Wordon was seized last June

District Vote Bill
by Kennedy
New Law Gives
Right to Help
Pick President

The last official step toward
the Districts new voting rights
was taken yesterday with Pres
ident Kennedy signing a bill
setting up new election pro-
cedure.
To give citizens a vote for
President and Vice President in
1864, the measure amended the
election machinery installed by
Congress in 1855.
1t establishes a 21-year-old
minimum voting age, a one-year
residence requirement and pro-
videS for absentee voting by
persons unable to reach the
polls because of illness, or who
are out of the country.
100000 May Vote
AS many as 10000 residents
may be able to vote under these
terms, giving the District three
of the Nations 538 electoral
votes three years from now.
In another significant move,
President Kennedy signed the
bill authorizing 81 million for
the National Capital Trans
portation Agency to start de-
veloping a metropolitan transit
system.
The bill authorizes purchase
of strips along two proposed
parkwayS and acquisition Of
land for station stops along the
George Washington Memoria:
parkway.
Other Bills Signed

signed by the President:

The

Notes 80
Police Centenary
By GEORGE KENNEDY

Howard Covell, a tall,
handsome man with white
hair and white mustache who
is our deputy chief of police,
tagged the Rambler at an Of
ficial reception.
"The Metropolitan Police
force is observing its centen-
ary next week." he said.
"A proclamation of the
Commissioners will be read
at a ceremony in front of the
District Building at II o'clock
Monday morning and there
will be a big banquet at the
Sheraton-Park on October IL.
II know you are going to
ask why a 'city that was
started 161 years ago has a
police force that is only 100
years old.
But if you'll look it up
if you'll be surprised how lit
tie police protection Wash
ington had in the years be-
fore the Civil War"
The Rambler looked it up
in Bryant'S History of the
National Capital" and in a
pamphlet history prepared
by Howard Covell in 1946
when he was a lieutenant. 1t
certainly is true. There were
times when Washington had
no police protection at all.
In the early days only
Alexandria had a night
watch-two officers who
were to cry the hour. The
new city of Washington had
none. 1t had a day watch of
two officers.

threatened her, saying they
would expel her from Warsaw

Earlier yesterday, a German
police official from Frankfurt

Mr.. Scarbeck asked him fo,

HE told me this was a secret
which only concerned the two

friend of Mr.. Scarbeck between
l945 and 1949 when Mr.. Scar

headquarters in Frankfurt.
Mr.. Cordes said the two mer

German bank to the Polish Ma

telegram, Mr.. Cordes said, tolc
how a fictitious brother was

hospital and that Miss Discher
would have to come and see
him.
The police official said that
Mr.. Scarbeck on a visit to Ger
many from Warsaw gave him

certificate for Miss Discher,
plus death certificates of her
parents.
He said that Mr.. Scarbeck
telephoned when the girl would
arrive and that she reached

Mr. Cordes said Mr.. Scar

When Tyler vetoed a bill re-

they made a protest march

There was not a single Of
ficer on duty to stop them.
Whether the other incident
had political origin is not
known. While President Ty-
Ter was walking in the south
grounds of the White House,
a drunken printer threw a
stone at him.
All this caused Congress to
authorize an auxiliary
watch" of IS officers. The
drunken printer was one Of
the first men hired.
The force continued TO be
inadequate for emergencies.
During a Know Nothing cleo
ton riot in 1857 the Marines

The action of Congress in

Youth Council
Urged 10 Take
Advisory Role
Mrs. Trewett Asks
Complete Authority
In Decision Making
BY BETTY MILES
Star Staff Writer

The District Commissioners
Youth Council, temporarily re-
prieved from a crippling budget
cut, in effect was asked today
to give up the decision making
power and become an advisory
council.
Council members debated a
request from Mrs. Nina B.
Trevvett, executive director,
that she be given authority to
direct the program of the coun-
ellis area boards without hav-
ing to cope with the "bungle-
some" procedures Of council
approval of board plans.
The % area boards, with ap-
proximately 1000 volunteer
citizen members throughout |
the city, constitute the heart |
of the councils efforts to pre-
vent and combat juvenile de-
linquency.
HetZel Approves
Fred z. Hetzel, director of
the United States Employment |
Service for the District, de-
clared, Il believe this council |
should be advisory in nature. I |
think Mrs. Trevvett should |
have complete responsibility to /
do what she thinks should be
done.
II would like to emphasize
the urgency of the problem.
Some of us feel so strongly we
can't continue to serve If it
isn't resolved"
Juvenile Court Judge Orm
w. Ketcham agreed with Mr.. |
Hetzel, but said the Commits !
Sioners should resolve the ques-
ton.
That is the intention" Mr.. |.
Hetzel declared.
The council asked its execu-
tive committee to study the
relationship between the coun-
Gil and its executive director.
Walter N. Tobriner, president /
Of the Board of District Com
miSsioners, who attended the
council meeting, told reporters
he would be happy to consider
a proposal such as making the
council advisory, but he would
not say whether he felt such a
step would be feasible.
Money Search !
Mr.. Tobriner confirmed for I
the council earlier newspaper I
reports that through savings
the Commissioners would find
the money to keep the present
staff going until the matter
can be looked into more
thoroughly and, if agreed to, a
supplemental bill introduced in
the next session of Congress"
/ The House cut S37, 500 from
the councils previous $92, 900
budget, and the Senate Appro-
priations Committee refused to
restore the cut.
Lawmakers considering the
fiscal 1862 budget requests
noted that delinquency has
been rising in Washington.
Senator Byrd, chairman of
the District Appropriations
Subcommittee. promised to take
a good look at Youth Council
requests next year. He noted
that he must be convinced that
the councils work is beneficial.
Commissioner Tobriner urged
council members to make their
case in concrete terms at future
hearings.
I'VE all know we have a very
hard-headed type Congress-"
he declared. 1--WE must avoid
the use of words like 'coopera-
ton, coordination and liaison'
