Short Delay
Seen on New
Waterfront

Hundreds of Washington
boat owners and a dozen or
more waterfront businessmen
may still get a temporary re-
prieve as a result of delays just
disclosed in the District Re-
delopment Land Agencys
!Sehedule to build a new bulk
head along Maine avenue.
Boat owners and business
men have received notices to
vacate their waterfront loca-
tions not later than August /.
John r. Searles, jr., RIA ex-
ecutive director, says that, as
of the present, the deadline
still is in effect.
But the agency doesn't expect
to be able to get started on
construction of the new, mile
long bulkhead along Maine ave-
nue. until fall, instead of by mid
August as originally hoped for.
Delays in completion of test
borings have made it impossible
for the agency's engineering
contractor to complete bulk
head specifications, Mr.. Searles
informed the land agency's
board yesterday. This, in turn,
will delay advertising for bids
on construction of the bulkhead
stretching from the Capital
Yacht Club to Fort Lesley j.
McNair.
The new blukhead will ex-
tend almost 100 feet further
into Washington Channel than
does the present one.

ENGINEERS TOILET
OLD 18th ST. SPAN
REMAIN IN USE

The Army Corps of
Engineers has officially
agreed to permit the Dis
trict Highway Department
to let the old Fourteenth
Street Bridge remain
standing.
Harold L. Aitken, Dis
trict Highway director.
said the expected corps
approval has been received
and the bridge will not be
torn down upon completion
of the new George Mason
Bridge as had been planned
earlier.
Mr.. Aitken reiterated the
desire to have the old
bridge on hand once the
new span opens to see
what future traffic needs
may be.
No links to the old bridge
will be built, however,
pending a determination
that the old span will be
needed. I'VE just don't
know what the future
holds" Mr.. Aitken said.
The approval by the
Corps of Engineers allows
the bridge to remain
standing as long as the
structure does not consti-
tute IAN unreasonable OBJ

The Citizens Crime Commits
sion for the Metropolitan Area
has recommended additional
manpower for the police and
courts and reviews of existing
law enforcement procedures.
In its annual report, the
commission, a citizen watch
dog" group on crime, calls for:
/. "A Metropolitan Police force
of 5000 men, an increase over
the present 2,714.
2. Further study of the NAL
lory and Durham court rules
and their effect on law enforce
ment.
3. Increased manpower" and
careful, open-minded study"
for Juvenile Court.
4. A study to determine why
LESS than 10 per cent of all
persons arrested on felony
charges in the District are con-
victed and sentenced in United
States District Court on felony
charges"
It's report notes that legis-
lation may be necessary to
amend the Mallory Rule, which
makes a suspects voluntary
confession inadmissable in
court if his arraignment was
unnecessarily delayed. Police
officials say the rule hampers
them.
The report also said Juvenile
Courts case load is too heavy,
while the court may need "a
more discriminating policy" in
the cases it chooses to prosecute
and those settled by its social
service section.

BY JOHN McKELWAY
Star Staff Writer

A militant group of District
women has succeeded in wedg-
ing approximately a pound of
opposition into the record on
the Davis Juvenile Court bill.
The women, headed by Mrs.
Richard C. Simonson, presi-
dent of the League of Women
Voters, called Representative
Mcmillan, Democrat of South
Carolina, chairman of the House
District Committee, off the
floor of the House yesterday.
They asked that the statements
of some 20 civic organizations
be incorporated in the record
of hearings a subcommittee has
been holding on the controver-
sial youth court bill.
Mr.. Mcmillan promised to do
so. He also promised his COM
mittee would bring forth a Ju-
venile Court bill during this
session of Congress. But he
would not say what form it
would take.
The group also won assur-
anceS from Representative Null
ter, Democrat of New York, also
a member of the committee, he
would fight the bill authored
by Representative Davis, Dem
ocrat of Georgia, on the floor
of the House.
Mr.. Multer said he would
offer, as a substitute measure,
his own bill authorizing two
additional judges at the court
a measure backed by the civic
organizations represented yes
terday. But he also urged the
women to start rounding up
votes for the forthcoming fight.

Confusion ran into confusion
today as police arrested four
men and charged them with
assault or with carrying a dan
gerous weapon after a police
reservist cab driver broke up
their little party.
There was talk of a film -flam
involving $4,000, and of a
double-cross, Capt. John w.
Trotter of the ninth precinct
said.
Less fantastic was a state
ment of Raymond E. Fowler,
35, of Prince Frederick, Nd,
that he and two companions
had come to Washington to
take back a fourth to answer a
false pretenses charge, Capt.
Trotter said.
Various Charges Filed
Fowler was charged with
carrying dangerous weapon
and assault with a dangerous
weapon. Walter Jones, 90, and
his brother, Earl Jones, 81, both
of Prince Frederick, were
charged with assault with a
dangerous weapon.
The fourth man, George Par
ran, As, of the first block of
Seton place NE, and recently
of Prince Frederick, is wanted
in Calvert county on a false
pretense warrant issued April
IS, with Fowler the complain
ant. Capt. Trotter gave this ac-
count of the mounting confu-
sion:
Cab Driver Leroy N. Brown,
81. of SAT Twenty fourth street
NE, a police reservist, said he
encountered the foursome this
morning in a car at North
Capitol street and Rhode Island
avenue.
One of them yelled to him.
Call police, this man has a
gun on me-"
Mr.. Brown got the police on
their way and followed the car
to Brentwood road and T
streets. The car stopped and
the man identified as Walter
Jones emerged, saying: There
nothing going on; we're just
having fun"
The man identified as Parran
apparently didn't agree. He

also left the car, carrying a .25-
caliber pistol as he approached
the cab, and asked to get in
Mr.. Brown said okay, if Parran
would give him the gun. Par
ran yielded the weapon and got
into the cab.
The other three drove to a
gasoline station at New York
avenue and Bladensburg road
Mr.. Brown and Parran follow
ing, and a police wagon drove
up. 1t hauled all four to the
ninth precinct.
Fowler, who said he owns a
body works shop in Prince Fred
erick, began telling the stories
of the fix that back-fired anc
other interesting items while
Capt. Trotter listened.
Drove to Washington
He also told of driving tt
Washington last night with
the Jones boys to pick uI
Parran, claiming the latter
owed him a considerable sum
of money.

several stories and m a d {
several moves: % Placed

of the Treasury Department
they may be interested in this
case and 90 went to District
