The juvenile bill cleared the
Senate along with II other Dis
trict measures, seven of which
went to the White House.
Compromise Sought
A minority of nine House
committeeman are reported
ready to substitute their own
compromise for the Senate
Juvenile Court bill in order to
block the more controversial
full committee recommendation.
The minority, whose major
spokesman is Representative
Multer, Democrat of New York,
has suggested two more judges
with temporary appointments
to run to December, 1868.
Although the Senate bill
moves to the House floor today,
House action is not expected
until the next District day,
September IL. A debate con-
ceivably could be scheduled on
any Wednesday free for COM
mittee reported bills between
now and the end of the session.
The Senate twice in as many
previous Congresses has cleared
bills for additional Juvenile
Court manpower. They died in
the House.
Bible Notes Delinquency
Chairman Bible, of the Senate
District Committee, cited the
bill as most important" on the
Senate floor. Juvenile delin-
quency problems of the District
are critical, he said, and are
increasing hour by hour.
I'VE have done our level best
to add judicial manpower to
this BENCH" Senator Bible
said. 81 hope by the passage
of this bill, we can look for

a problem which has stayed
with us far too long"
His committeeman reported
they had examined the age
limit, the "amalgamation" of
the Juvenile and Municipal
Courts, broadened waiver pro-
cedure and transfer of nom
support and paternity cases
out of Juvenile Court-all items
included in the House commit
tee bill.
Many of the proposals were
found to be not truly relevant
to the real problem of the
court; others were found to be

The long-awaited regulations
to protect Washington home
owners from unscrupulous
home improvement contractors
go before the Commissioners
Tuesday. An early public hear
ing seems assured.
Corporation Counsel Chester
Gray said yesterday that reg
ulations-now in their 10th
draft-finally are ready for a
public airing.
Advised of the status of the
measure, Commissioner Robert
E. Mclaughlin said he expects
to recommend an early hearing
date since both industry and
Government representatives al
ready are familiar with the reg
ulations and have participated
in drafting them.
The regulations are designed
to carry out legislation signed
by President Eisenhower last
September. The law requires IL
cepsing and bonding of home
improvement contractors and
their statesmen and protects
homeowners from mechanics
liens filed by subcontractors
when the homeowners already
have paid the prime contrac-
tors.
The law and the regulations
are aimed at protecting home
owners against fly-by might
contractors who take money
for jobs they never finish; use
a variety of gimmicks to lure
homeowners into paying ex-
orbitant prices for shoddy
work; substitute materials
without the knowledge Of the
homeowner. and talk unwilling
homeowners into signing Sec
ond mortgages on their homes
to pay inflated home repair
bills.
These and other shabby
practices were pinpointed by
The Star in its "Homeowner
Beware" series last summer.
$500 Is Key Amount
The proposed regulations re-
quire licensing for any home
improvement contractor whose
jobs amount to $500 or more
and who takes any money in
advance of completion of the
jobs.
While jobs of less than $500
are excluded from the licensing
requirement because of the ad-
ministrative burden of licen-

The serious looking teen
ayers clustered around the
clattering machine with all the

ball machine; they were track

The space flights were simu-
lated and the teen-agers were
26 juniors and seniors from
. Bethesda Chevy Chase High
School who are taking part in
the Association for Computing
Machinery's digital computer
program.
The program was organized
by George G. Heller. chairman
of the Education Committee of
the Washington Chapter Of the
ACM and a stan research pro-
grammer with the System Cen
ter of International Business
Machines.
The students, all volunteers.
started the extracurricular
course 13 weeks ago. They
spend three hours every Satur-
day at classes and got about
five hours of homework each
week.
Students Prepare Programs
Yesterday they took a field
trip to IBM's Space Computing
Center. SIS Pennsylvania ave-
nue. NV, where they tested
some of their homework on the
giant IBM TOO computer.
Mr.. Heller exlained that the
students, some of them team
ing up, had prepared 16 pro-
grams to be fed into the NAV
Of the electronic monster.
These programs are a series of
coded directions which tell
the computer what steps to
take in solving an equation
dealing with space fight.
The code was then tram
scribed onto punch cards, IS
to so per program, and the
cards were fed into the ma
chine.
Then the fun began.
Buttons, Switches, Lights
Mr.. Heller. resembling a
combination of a console Or
ganist and a Martian pitch
man, started pushing buttons,
pulling switches and watching
the flashing lights. Simultan-
eosuly, he gave a running ac-
count of what he was doing,
welding a pointer in one hand.
The electric impulses moved
from one component Of the
709 to another, through a
seemingly endless maze of
wires. Finally the results were
printer on a chart that rolled
out Of the last machine.
Mr.. Heller and his two as
sistant instructors, James s.
Mist and Thomas j. McAllister,
both IBM programmes, were
very pleased with yesterdays
results. Thirteen of the l6
programs fed into the TOO came
out with perfect answers. The
other three had only minor er-
rors which were corrected.
Industry Need Is Great
The three instructors donate
their time to the 15-week
course, which is co-sponsored by
the Montgomery County Board
Of Education.
The course is part of the ed
ucational program of ACM, a
Nationwide organization of
persons in the electronic COM
puter industry. Next semester,
ACM plans to present similar
courses in several local high
schools. The present group is
going to go on to an advanced
course. as spokesman for ACM
said.
Requirements for the course
include at least a grade B in
all regular classwork, two years

etry apd one year of physics.

Nearby Maryland officials
clashed yesterday over whether
the 1,370-acre industrial park
proposed between Rockville and

ling or curse.
Both views were expressed at
a meeting in Silver Spring be-

Held Central Feature
The proposal is a central fea-
ture of the master plan sug-
gested for the Rockville :
Gaithersburg area by the staff
of the Maryland National Cap
ital Park and Planning Com
mission.
The plan. now being evalu-
ated by consultant Harland
Bartholomew, was sharply criti-
cized two months ago at a 1ive-
hour public hearing.
At that time, local officials
who said they were not con-
suited during the plans prep
aration-called for yesterdays

tions.
The planning staff sees the
large industrial park as a meth
cd Of preventing Rockville and

to one sprawling community.
In a memorandum distrib-
uted yesterday, the staff said

proposed might be served by
