An Iowa Representative has
been roaming the streets of
the District, searching for
some solution to juvenile de-
linquency.
He calls the situation de
plorable," praises the police
juvenile squad and has found
what he believes to be unneces-
sary delay in the handling of
juvenile cases.
The lawmaker, John Kyl, a
Republican. took the floor of
the House yesterday to pre-
sent his views on delinquency
and to ask for a little more
realism in approaching the
problem.
For the past IS months, he
said, his study has taken him
through almost every street

daylight and dark"
He has spent time with Of

The
Rambler
ReVeIs in
Book Bargains
By GEORGE KENNEDY

You Civil War bluffs from
far and near, I have a mes
sage you'll want to hear:
Bargains, bargains, bar
gains.
The VaSSar book sale opens
today and it's worth your
going out of your way.
Bargains, bargains, bar
gains.
The Rambler doesn't ordi-
narily open this column with
a singing commercial but he
is going all out for old Mat
thew VaSSar'S daughters.
Two years ago he spent rs
cents at the VaSSar book sale
and walked away with a book
that changed his life.
This year the sale is in the
old Catlins' furniture store
at 1924 New York avenue. It
will continue through next
Thursday.
When the Rambler stopped
in yesterday for a preview,
Mrs. James Cooley was writ
ing prices in the Civil War
books. She asked him to help
her, probably because it is a
field in which he has had
absolutely no experience.

Two youths, 16 and II, es-

In this mornings break, Mr..
Stone said, one youth said he
was cold and called for a blan-
ket. When the counselor,
James Fish, 81, took the blan-
ket to the ward door he was
pulled inside, tied and gagged.
Mr.. Stone said.
The youths then took his keys
and opened a closet where ad-
ditional clothes are kept.
Mr.. Stone said Mr.. Fish was
able to work the gag out of his
mouth and call for help. He
was freed by another counselor.

I'VE will need some assur-
ance," Mr.. Auld said, that
additional water from the re-
servoir would actually reach
Washington. If this extra water
is drained off along the way
down by irrigation or eVapor-
ated by use in thermal power
plants, it won't do us m uch h

The dependable low flow in
the Potomac River is the small
est volume of water ever re-
corded in the river-approXi-
mately 500 million gallons a
day during the 1880 drought.
The average flow in the Po-
tomac is 7 billion gallons a
day, but the volume of water
in the river fluctuates dramat-
ically.
Construction of the proposed
North Branch reservoir would
not eliminate the need for a
dam on the main stem of the
Potomac River, Col. Allen has
said.
Hearings in November
The various alternatives for
developing the main Potomac
River and its other tributaries,
including a major dam above
Great Falls, are to be discussed
by the engineers at public
hearings in November.
Recommendations on the re-
mainder of the Potomac Basin
will be made by the engineers
in June, 1862.
Apportioning Of costs among
the States and local govern
ments for the North Branch
dam will probably require
some sort of conference among
area Congressman, or the Gov
/ ernors of the affected States,
according to an informed
source.
And a new governmental
agency or an existing one such
as the Potomac River Commits
sion will have to assume re-
sponsibility for collecting funds
at the local and State level for
the dam, it was reported.
Payment of the State and
local government share of cost
of the dam can be stretched
out over a 50-year period.

The Davis unit proposed that
the Juvenile Court become a
branch of the Municipal Court
and that the age limit of ju-
VenileS sent to the new Youth
Branch be reduced from 18
to is.
Senator Dodd said the shift
to Municipal Court would jam
an already crowded calendar
and. require judges to sit on
cases they themselves do not
feel qualified to handle. The
House subcommittee agreed on
language authorizing a new
Municipal Court judgeship,
qualifications for which would
be the same as those for the
juvenile court judge, however
There is no need for lower
ing the age limit" Senator
Dodd said. The waiver pro-
visions in the court give the
judge the power - which he
has used 255 times in the last
three years - to transfer to
criminal court those unfortu-
nate youngsters whom we have
allowed to reach a state of al
most irreversible criminality. u
Alth though he discredited

Senator Dodd stressed that the

Senator Dodd favored au-

The conference also wants the

Municipal Court Judge Mil
ton S. Kronheim, jr., today
convicted the Norair Engineer
ing Corp. on six charges of
violating industrial safety
standards. He fined the firm
total of $1,000.
Norair is general contractor

ton at Fourteenth street and
Constitution avenue NV.
District safety inspectors

safety violations after an in
spection of the museum site

olationS, Judge Kronheim was
told.
The six charges included per-
mitting use of improperly
rallied scaffolds. inadequate
railingS around floor openings,
unsafe ladders and cluttered
walkWays.
Judge Kronheim. who i'm
posed the maximum $500 fine
for each conviction. criticized
the firm for what he called
lack Of cooperation with Of
ficals on safety matters.
The judge noted that two
men have been killed on the
job since the $25 million project
started in 1859.
In closing arguments today,
the firms lawyer, Ralph Berlow,
called for changes in the Dis
trict'S safety inspection meth

do not permit firms to know
sufficient details about alleged
safety violations to correct
them.

Now, as to plan, it was also our in
tention to have not just one or possibly
two plans, but six or seven distinctly
different plans, ranging from one-story
to split-level, bi-level and full two-story
houses. This we have done. We en-
ployed an architect, Marion L. Bagley,
to do our planning, and he has long
record of successful planning, especially
along the Colonial design. The houses
are primarily brick. Many of them, of
course, will be painted to get variations
Of the colors in the groups, and we have
had three of the houses furnished UNI
der the direction of Ethel Pilson War
rem, interior designer. The object in
furnishing the houses was to attract the
type of people that we wish to have in
our neighborhoods.
And, this is important: in selling our
purchasers we intend to get the kind
of people that will live well together in
a neighborhood; in other words, people
who are used to the right type of living.
Our prices we have kept at the very
lowest possible level consistent with
reasonably small margin of profit. We
do not believe that we can continue to
keep such low prices beyond the first
AZ. You will see the inherent value and
reasons for this when you visit Woodley

For the last several years have
wanted to build community that
would be different from the ordinary
type of development done in recent
years. 1t was my desire to have enough
variation in house plans and style that
when you rode down one of the streets
you would not feel like you were in
factory town."
After looking over many sites,
chose the present location of Woodley
Gardens because it is conveniently 10
Gated at a cloverleaf on a big through
highway that will get people back and
forth very quickly. 1t is also located
within the city limits of Rockville,
which believe has distinct advan-
tage.
1t is mostly wooded and rolling,
which has always been must with me,
and the size of the piece of property is
such that development of character
can be carried out. 1t is not married by
any adjacent development of the wrong
type.
We purchased the ground and spent
more than a year working out the
street and lot layouts so that the streets
would follow the natural contours of
the ground. We had in mind that the
type of architecture of all must be Co
lonial in general design. 1t is also nee
essary to have large part of the prop
erty reserved as park land and recrea-
tional areas. This, we feel, will add to
the enjoyment of the entire neighbor-
hood.
