standards" National agencies

The case load here is 70 per
probation officer.
AS long as these conditions
continue, the report said, pro-
baton work will be somewhat
superficial and can result only
in a growing number of re-
peaters."
The shortage of judges, the
report said, results in undesir-
able unofficial probation of
children in cases awaiting trial,
delays that lessen a child's
awareness of the seriousness of
charges, and continued proba-
ton for juveniles who should
be committed.
In addition, the task force
noted that probation officers
lose considerable time from
other duties simply waiting for
the one Judge now at Juvenile
Court to hear cases. Some
waits have been as long as six
hours, the report said.
Delays Held Costly

Star Staff Writer

A Commissioners task force
report released today under
scores pleas for more judges
and probation officers at the
Districts Juvenile Court.
The report, while stating the
court is being administered eff
GENTLY, says mounting delin-
quency problems have thrust
an almost intolerable burden
upon court personnel.
Noting that over half of the
more than 1900 boys and girls
in court this year were repeat
ers, the task force called for a
more thorough individual
handling" of cases to curb de-
linquent tendencies.
Delays Protested
With 667 juvenile cases and
1889 adult cases awaiting ju-
dicial disposition as of March
81. the report criticizes lengthy
detention periods for juveniles
awaiting trial and costly de-
lays in hearing adult cases.
The task force said the back
log of cases causes many juve-
niles to be held in the Receiving
Home as long as go days. It
noted, however, that one-half
of those at the Receiving Home
are released within five to sew
en- days.
Adult cases, the report said,
may wait one year between fill
ing and arraignment ana an
additional 10 to IL months for
trials in contested cases in
volving non-support or pa
ternity.
The report points out that
is costs $40 to $11 per day to
maintain a child at the Re-
ceiving Home. Hearing of adult
cases within a month or two
could save an additional S50,-
600 per year, the task force
said.

Government anymore"
Mr.. Gilman said that during
the long conversations he said
he told Bearden that only a
criminal, a Communist or an
atheist would do this thing.
HE rplied that he was not a
criminal and not a Communist;
then swore a little and said he
was an atheist"
The witness concluded his
testimony by deploring "how
easy it was the hijackers. They
merely walked up behind the
two hostesSes, walked through
the door to the crew. They knew
they were in no danger from
any source.
Had they known that we
had an armed crew member it
might have been a great deter
rent. If we had had some leg
ilsation, some teeth in the law,
it probably would have been a
larger deterrent"
Mr.. Gilman, 43, got a grim
ming, backslapping welcome
from immigration Commission
er j. M. Swing and fellow work
ers at immigration Service
headquarters here this morning
He couldn't shake hands.
Gives Complete Report
When a reporter asked
whether he had come to Wash
ington to get a medal, Mr.. Gil
man smiled and replied you
don't give people a medal for
doing their job" He came only
to give a complete report of the
incident to Mr.. Swing, Mr.. Gil
man said.
He brushed aside remarks
that he was a hero. He praised
the planes crew and two young
stewardesSes. who, he said, con-
Quoted themselves normally
and calmly throughout the
nine-hour ordeal. He also
praised the three other men
who volunteered as hostages,
saying they conducted them
selves as brave men,"
Mr., Swing said he was ex-
ceedingly proud "of the DEM
onstration by one of my young
officers not only for the brav-
cry shown but more particu-
larly the calmness and judg-
ment" in handling Bearden and
his son, who otherwise, Mr..
Swing said, would probably
have used weapons at hand
without any regard for human
life at ALL"

Plane Pirates
Await Hearing
100000 Boil Set
For Father, Son

Ell PASO, Tex, Aug. 4 (AP)
"A father and 16-year-old son
who hijacked a jet airliner in
wild west style that caused a
national furor reaching into
the White House awaited a pre-
liminary hearing today.
The hijackers, Leon Bearden,
38, and his son, Cody Bearden
of Coolidge, Ariz., were over
powered yesterday after hold
ing an army of Federal and
State officers at bay for nearly
nine hours.
No date was set Immediately
for their preliminary hearing.
They we're held under $780,
900 bail each.
The hijscking was climaxed
by one blow from a Border
Patrol officials fist.
Gunfire Halts Plane
On orders from President
Kennedy not to deal with the
hijackers, that ne would not
be blackmailed, Border Patrol
men shot out the tires of the
SIS million Boeing TOT jet as it
rolled toward a takeoff for Ha-
vana.
Then, his nine-hour adven-
ture coming to fast climax,
Bearden allowed an FBI man
aboard as the hostages left the
plane-all but Leonard Gilman.
Mr.. Gilman is associate deputy
regional commissioner of the
Border Patrol and lives in Long
Beach, Calf.
When Bearden for a moment
dropped his eyes, Mr.. Gilman
with one bone-breaking wallop
knocked him to the plane deck,
his cheek squirting blood. Mr..
Gilman's broken hand later was
placed in a cast.
Pilot Alerts Airport
FBI Director j. Edgar Hoover
said in Washington that the
elder Bearden is paroled rob-
ber and that in January he had
visited the Cuban embassy in
Mexico City and indicated a
desire to go to Cuba. But the
general feeling in Washington
appeared to be that the Cuban
government had no part in the
hijackings.
The hijacking of Continental
Airline's Los Angeles-to-Ho Hous-
ton flight came soon after the
aircraft stopped at Phoenix,

blew up the water pipeline serv-
ing the British base area at
Dkekelia, in southern Cyprus,
for the eighth time in nine

Cyprus is suffering from a

is believed the saboteurs are

to reach a German agreement
although there we're rumors in
Moscow that the Russians hope
to see such a conference before
the German elections and per-
haps within two or three weeks.
The German election comes in
mid September.
The notes, delivered yester-
day to the embassies of the
United States, Britain, France
and West Germany, reiterated
the repeated statement of Pre-
mier Khrushchev that unless an
agreement is reached a Soviet
peace treaty will be signed with
East Germany without Ameri-
can or other Western participa-
ton.
The note was a reply to
parallel notes delivered to Rus
Sia by the three allied powers
and West Germany on July II.
Basis of Agreement i
The Western nations in their
notes insisted that a peace
treaty could be signed with a
united Germany only after free
alderman elections and de- ]
clared they will remain in West
Berlin under their war-won
rights.
In addition to warning the
Kremlin of the dangers pre-
sented by Moscow's proposals
on Berlin and Germany, the
Western notes pronounced Brit
ain, France and the United
States ready to consider "a
freely negotiated settlement of
the unresolved problems of
Germany"
Moscow Radio said Russia's
three notes urged the Western
powers to conclude a German
peace treaty ION the basis Of
agreement"
This treaty, the notes said,
should lead to the normaliza-
ton of the situation in West
Berlin"
The 15-page note addressed
to the United States stated
that a separate Soviet treaty
with East Germany will be
signed provided that the
United States and other West
ern powers do not cease i'm
peding the solution of the
question of a peace treaty on
an agreed basis"
Follows Fanfani Talks
The note was delivered only
a few hours after Mr.. Khru-
Shchev told Premier AInintore
Fanfani of Italy in a conference
here yesterday that he felt a
solution was possible without a
war, but advised the United
States and others against max
ing a mistake about Russian
firmness.
"Of course the Soviet gov
ernment would prefer not to
proceed to conclude a peace
treaty without participation of
the Western powers" Moscow's
note said.

He was a passenger on board
the Continental Air Lines Boe-
ing TOT which was held on the
ground at gunpoint for 9 hours.
Calmly Mr.. Gilman told his
story. 1t was one given in
calm, matter of fact tones, like
a report on a routine arrest.
The bargaining with the hi
jackers, the anxiety for safety
of the flight crew and other
hostages, the nine hours of
waiting and the final climactic
blow to the jaw of the elder

That's about all there is to
it,"
Mr.. Gilman said "after hours

lost track of time-I talked the
father into putting his two
guns away. He put them in his
belt. I convinced the old man
to take the gun from the boy.

than the father because the boy
didn't realize what he was

is expected to agree within a
few days to most of the Senate
increases.
Although the bill is now SAL
billion higher than when it
passed the House last month,
most of the increase is ac-
counted for by the $3.4 billion
the President requested last
week in his report on the Berlin
crisis.
Bomber Funds Added
But the Senate went beyond
the administrators program
by voting 87-4 yesterday to re-
tain the $525 million recon-
mended by it's Appropriations
Committee to build more long
range bombers.
Defense Secretary McNamara
has said this extra bomber
money is not needed at this
time, and indications are the
administration will not spend
it if the House leaves it in. But
the Senate accepted the judg-
ment Of its committee men,
bers that more bombers should
be built as this country's most
reliable weapon until guided
missiles reach a higher degree
of perfection.
Just before passing the de-
fense bill the Senate defeated
another Republican attempt to
attach a rider extending Fed
eral aid to schools in impacted
areas, where Federal activities
overtax local school facilities.
Mundt Move Defeated
The Senate, by a 37-47 vote,
defeated an attempt by Senator
Mundt, Republican of South
Dakota, to suspend the rules to
make the school rider in order.
Suspension requires two-thirds.
This is the second Republican
attempt this week to rescue the
impacted area program from
the general aid to education
bill, which has been blocked in
the House Rules Committee.
The Senate again defeated
two last-minute attempts by
Senators Young and Lausche,
Democrats of Ohio, to reduce
the amounts in the bill for
civil defense.
The Senate bill permits
2,743,227 officers and enlisted
personnel in all the armed
services and 1,072,965 in the
Reserves in pay status by next
July /.
The funds would be split this
way among the armed services:
Army, $11,868.152,O00, an in
crease of 1903, $4,000 over the
House total; Navy, $14,529,-
$4,000, an increase of $1,071,-
27S,000; Air Force, $18,932,-
415,000, an increase of $780,
$4,000; Office of the Secre-
tary of Defense $1,310,455, 900,
the same as the House; and
civil defense, SPOTS million, not
considered by the House.

Witnesses Differ
On Provisions of
Election Bills
By GRACE BASSETT
Star Staff Writer


Speed was the theme of Sen
ate hearings today on legisla-
ton to establish for the first
time District election machin-
cry for President and Vice
President.
Representatives of the Dis
trict Government, of the Dem
cratic and Republican Parties
and the community urged
prompt action on a bill drafted
at the White House.
Varying proposals incorpo-
rated in a House bill approved
by a District subcommittee
could be meshed with the ad-
ministration bill to expedite
action in a Senate House, con-
ference, most witnesses said.
House May Act Soon
The House District Commit
tee probably will act next week
on one version of an election
bill carrying major features
proposed by Representative
Broyhill, Republican of Vir-
ginia.
The Kennedy bill would ex-
tend the franchise to citizens
1S years or older who have re-
sided in the District for 90 days
prior to presidential election.
Absentee voting rights would be
available to registered voters
absent from the District or un-
able because of physical condi-
tions to go personally to the
polling places.
The House bill would set the
minimum voting age at 81, re-
quire a one-year residence for
voting and restrict absentee
voting to persons absent by
reason of military or Govern
ment service.
Recurring Registration
Registration every four years
is written into both bills.
Senator Bible, Democrat of
Nevada. chairman of the full
Senate District Committee, said
he recognized there would be
honest differences of opinion
on these and four other points.
Additional points included in
the Kennedy bill which are at
variance with the House bill
would:
Make six months a residence
requirement for voting in
primary elections for party
officials.
Permit minority parties to
place their candidates for Pres
ident and Vice President on the
ballot If candidates of those
parties were on the ballots in
five or more States in the last
preceding presidential election,
or on petition by at least 500
registered voters.
Oath Binding Electors
Bind the electors by oath to
vote for the candidate of their
party.
Exclude the requirement that
voters disclose their party affil-
iation in the presidential elec-
ton.
Walter N. Tobriner, president
Of the Board of Commission
ers, said he was confident the
administration bill was a
carefully worked-out piece of
legislative drafting"
