Ketcham had failed to make a
full investigation" of the case
before waving jurisdiction to
the adult District Court for
eventual trial.
The judge also turned down a
request by the attorney. Rich
ard Arens, that the Government
should be blocked from present.
ing the case to a grand jury
until the issue of jurisdiction is
settled.
Mr.. Arens said he would ap-
peal the ruling. He has already
asked the Municipal Court of
Appeals to stay the waiver of
the Kent case by Judge Ketch-
am from the youth court to the
District Court.
Yesterday, Corporation n
Counsel Chester Gray filed a
brief with the Municipal Court
Of Appeals which presented
arguments similar to those
made before Judge Matthews
today.
2 Mr.. Arens had contended
that Kent. charged by police
with three rapes, four other
assaults on women and seven
housebreakings, has been suf-
fering from a mental illness
for some time. He argued that
Judge Ketcham should have
considered an affidavit to this
effect before waving the case
and should have ordered the
boy committed to a mental
hospital to determine the exact
nature CT the illness.
However, Assistant United
States Attorney Daniel Nc
Tague said that now that the
cpse has been waived to the
adult court, Kent may ask for
a commitment to St. Eliza
beths Hospital for mental OBJ
servat;on.

D. G. to End
Secrecy on
ABC Data

A secrecy policy on Districg
liquor license application data
will be dropped under a deci-
sion today by the Commission
ers.
The Alcoholic Beverage Con-
troll Boards long-establjshed
practice has been to refuse to
let anyone look at the papers
filed in a liquor case until the
day of the hearing OH the ap-
plication.
Today, the Commissioners de-
cided that this practice should
be abandoned and that the in
formation should be available
to the public as soon as it is
filed.
Chairman Protests
The Commissioners decision
was made over the protest OF
Frank E. Weakly, chairman Of
the ABC board.
Mr.. Weakly argued that eX-
perience has shown that the
boards restrictions on the in
formation should be main
tanned to prevent abuses"
Under questioning by Walter
N. Tobriner as to specifics, Mr..
Weakly said that people come
in fishing" for information,
that the files contain some
confidential information. and
that there have been cases
where papers were removed and
not returned.
Chester H. Gray, Corpora
ton Counsel. told the board,
however, that he could see mo
justification whatsoever" for
keeping the papers confidential
until the day of the hearing.
Georgetown Case Cited
The action today was the
result of plans for establish
ment of a restaurant on prop
erty at Thirty sixth street ard
Prospect place NV. that is
owned by Georgetown Univer-
sity.
Attorney Charles r. Richev.
representing a group of
Georgetown residents who op-
pose opening of the restaurant,
had protested to city officials
that the ABC boards restric-
ton prevented him from de
veloping his case in advance
of the hearing.
The Commissioners TO-DAY
directed Mr.. Gray to come
back with a report on the de-
tails on what liquor permit
information will be made pub
lie when it is filed. There is a
question as to whether police
reports would come under this
category.

Kennedy Asks Aid
For Mass Transit
Agency Funds
Appropriation
Is Requested

President Kennedy has backed
the House District Committees
approval of a bill authorizing
purchase of rights of way for
mass transit here with a request
for appropriation of $2,720, 900
for the National Capital Trans
portation Agency.
The committee and presiden-
tial actions appeared today
to offer possibilities of even
tual rapid transit lines along
Shirley highway, the Pentagor
highway network, interstate
Routes 66 and 95 and the
George Washington Memorial
parkway.
Meanwhile, three Represent
atives and three Senators pre-
pared TO meet later this week
TO iron out conflicts between
House and Senate approaches
70 District taxes. -
COnfereeS Named
The six conferees have been
appointed to break the impasse
between the Senate's tax ap-
proach - with boosted sales,
cigarette and alcohol taxes
and the House approach-a /
per cent increase in sales tax.
The transit Developments
boosted chances that the Ma
tional Capital Transportation
Agency would be able to buy
rights of way along roads being
built or widened here.
The first development came
yesterday when the full House
District Committee reported
favorably of a transportation
measure already passed by the
Senate.
This measure authorizes the
National Capital Transporta-
ton Agency to buy rights of
way along interstate Route 66
in Arlington County and Fair
fax County, interstate Route 95
in Prince Georges County anG
the George Washington Me-
mortal parkway in Montgomery
County.
Funds Requested
Anticipating full House ap-
proval tomorrow, the President
late yesterday followed COM
mittee approval with request
for a supplemental appropria-
ton of $2,720,000 for the Meta.
This would give the agency the
money to exercise its authority
and actually buy the rights OF
way.
The requested appropriation
also includes $170,000 for in
cluding mass transit co-ordi-
nation in planning improve
ment of Shirley Memorial high
way and the Pentagon highway
network.
The Presidents request said.
1T is necessary that the META
obtain land acquisition funds
promptly if transit require
ments are to be included in
highway designs. Co-ordina-
ton of land acquisition for
transit and roads will mini
mize costs and disrupt the at
fected communities as little as
possible"
The President also asked
100000 for Howard University
to finance planning for the
replacement and moderniza-
ton of Freedmen's Hospital
facilities. This work is su-
thorized by a bill now await
ing the Presidents signature.

Martial Spirit
By GEORGE KENNEDY

The Sd Infantry, quarter
ed at Fort Myer and Fort
McNair, is Washington's
garrison.
1t is the Army's elite reg
iment when it comes to
ceremonies, marching and
parades.
Every Sunday during the
late summer and fall the in
fantrymen stage a retreat
parade at 4 pm. either at
the Monument grounds or on
the drill field at Fort Myer.
1t was at the Monument
grounds last Sunday and the
Rambler was in a first-row
seat. He loves a parade.
The scene was made color
full by white clouds drifting
slowly across a blue sky and
the flags of the so States
and tall staffs along the
Constitution avenue sidewalk.
The ceremonial retreat
flag on a tall pole in the
center and the so American
flags on staffs about the
Monument in the rear were
at half mast because Of the
death of Representative
Overton Brooks of Louisiana.
A PROGRAM GAVE the
history OF the Sd. In 1915
five infantry regiments
which had fought in the
War of 1912 were combined
to form it. One of them was
the 1st Infantry, formed in
1874 right after the Revolu-
tion.
Strictly speaking there was
no United States Army in
the Revolution. 1t was fought
by the Virginia Line, the
Maryland Line, the Pennsyl-
vania Line, the MasSachu-
sets Line, etc.
So the Sd carries battle
streamers for Fort Recovery
lin the Indian war Of 1794)
and Lundy's Lane against
the British in 1814.
The Sd was in the battles
of Montery, Vera Cruz and
Chapultepec in the war with
Mexico, where Gen. Winfield
Scott dubbed the regiment
the "Old Guard" 1t has Is
battle streamers from the
Civil War, including First
and Second Bull Run, NAL
vern Hill, Antietam, Freder-
icksburg and Gettysburg,
It marched up San Juan
Hill In the war with Spain.
The Old Guard was held on
this continent during World
War I and II and added no
more battle streamers to its
Staffs.
But one feat in this CEN
tury cannot be taken away
from the Sd. Transferred in
July, 1921, from Fort Sher-
man, Ohio, to Fort Smelling,
MINI, it marched all the
way, 100 miles, arriving in
a November snowStorm.
