Attorney General Robert
Kennedy is considering a Dis
trict plan to help retarded
teen-agers as a possible pilot
project to combat Juvenile de-
linquency.
If approved, the project
would be the first of it's kind
in the Nation.

Of Intellectually and socially
handicapped youngsters to the
community after their release
from correctional institutions,
hackers say.
A proposal to expand the
present Occupational Training
Center at 1912 Eleventh street
NV. to deal with such troubled
youths was called to the atten-
ton of the Attorney General
by Senate District Committee
Chairman Bible, Democrat of
Nevada.
Government Interested
Attorney General Kennedy
assured the Senator, by letter
that the District is one of sew
eral urban areas to be con-
sidered for pilot projects con-
templated in the Presidents
$40 million program of Federal
aid to local groups fighting
juvenile crime.
David Hacktt, former Olym-
pic hockey star and now staff
director of the Presidents Com
mittee on Juvenile Delinquency,
has been asked by the Attorney
Genral to go into tn District
program more thoroughly with
Senator Bible.
Il would agree that addi-
tional community services for
the retarded delinquent are
badly needed and I would like
to study further the possible
relationship between the cen
ter's projected program and
those of the Federal Govern
ment," Attorney General Ken
nedy wrote the District Com
mittee chairman.
In suggesting coordination
of the local and Federal pro-
grams last month, Senator
Bible reminded the Attorney
General that juvenile deliu-
quency was becoming IAN in
creasingly acute problem" here.
Information Offered
He offered the administra-
ton full information about the
center program, which has peen
operating for offenders over Is
for two years. Jerry Bernstein,
director of the center, hopes to
aim rehabilitation efforts at
1880 youngsters under 16 un-

Preliminary surveys have
shown that retarded young

Court, so from District public
schools, so from the District
Training School, 20 from the
District Health Department,
400 from the Montgomery
County Juvenile Court and 25

School for Boys.
Initially, center sponsors
would teach youngsters to work
with simple machines. help
place them in jobs, organize
group therapy, supervise their
evening and weekend activities
and counsel their parents.

DONALD RODE the wooden
platform around with the
couple. He thought about
putting the brass rings up
for the season. He looked at
the horses and wondered
what the teen-agers did with
the tails they pulled out and
ran away with.
The carousel was winding
down and the horses were
again left alone. But soon
the shouts and laughter and
picnic baskets and children
and mothers and fathers
and dogs and girl friends and
boy friends started to emerge
from the cars.
Children pointed to the
,carousel and ran faster than
they ever had in their lives
to reach it before their par
ents grabbed them. Dimes
clinked their way inside the
ticket window and Donald
was busy starting and stop
ping the carousel.
The horses seemed alive
now. A few we're kicked in
the side by scuffed children's
shoes and sometimes a few
scared tears trickled into gilt
names but those are the
hazards of being a carousel
horse.
And it's the way things
should be, this noise and
music and sunshine and all.
And if you're lucky enough
to be a carouSel horse at
Great Falls Park, you have
to admit you can't beat the
view.

The Senate Committee ap-
proved for the first time SIS
million for acquisition of a 7.5-
mile stretch of right way for
the George Washington Me-
mortal parkway between the
District and Fort Washington
on the Maryland side of the
river.
The item was not included
in the bill as it arrived from
the House.
Valley Parks Restored
The Senate committee re-
stored Sl.2 million in Capper-
Champion Act funds-deleted
by the House-to be divided
100000 each between Mary
land and Virginia for stream
valley parks.
The Senate removed from the
House bill an item of 100000
to acquire 160 acres of the
Madeira ool property in
Fairfax County for parkland.
Interior Secretary Udall per-
'sonally backed the Sis million
George Washington Memorial
parkway item in Senate sub
committee hearings after the
Eisenhower administration had
submitted the budget without
it.
He was told by a group from
the Swan Greek Citizens ASso-
ciation and the Prince Georges
County Civic Federation that,
unless land purchases are start
ed this year, it may we'll be too
late again to plan on the scenic
parkway.
Houses Already Built
Nine houses already have
been built within the proposed
parkway's corridor, they said,
and subdivision developers
along the route are planning
additional home construction in
the near future.
The Prince Georges County
Commissioners recently agreed
to contribute $250,000 to be
matched by an equal amount
from the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission to
acquire $50 acres of parkway

coming down the gravel
road. She looked at the

The car stopped in front
of the horses, and they lis
tened to feet crunching
gravel and the whistle of
Donald Ratchford.
Donald unlocked the tiny
cubicle next to the horses
and walked inside to sit in
front of the ticket window.
Donald is 81, and that morn
ing he was sleepy and he
turned on the radio and
started reading a newspaper.
About a half hour later he
heard a woman's voice. "Oh,
look, Harry. A carousel!
Let's go ride it," she said,
with all the unnatural enthu-
siasm of an adult who thinks
you ought to react that way
when you see a popsicle or a
bicycle or a purple-and-
orange wooden horse.
She giggled as Harry
boosted her onto the horse.
Donald flipped the carousel
switch and the horse bore
his rider with noble stoicism.
The horses, S. years old,
creaked up and creaked
down-riderless but for the
two carrying Harry and

that the Lincoln School was pre-

that the school districts had been
