A teen-age Hyattsville girl,
disturbed about capital pun
ishment, has exchanged let
ters with a New York judge
who recently sentenced a IT.
year-old Puerto Rican youth
to death for the senseless kill
ing of two other boys.
She is Dottie Yancowsky, a
sincere, articulate 15-year-old
who has hopes of becoming a
social worker or juvenile court
judge.
Dotty, who lives at $685.
Stanton road, sent the letter to
The Star, with a request it be
forwarded to Judge Gerald B.
Culkin of New York County
General Sessions Court.
Last December, Judge Gull
kin sentenced Salvatore Agron,
known 70 his fellow hoodlums
as 'Dracula," or THE Cape, "
to die in the electric chair for
the wanton knife murder of
two 16-year-old boys in a play
ground on Manhattan's West
Side.

Judge Culkin of her aspira-
tions for social work, but said
the Agron case has me con-
fused" She mentioned a story
in The Star which told of the
boys miserable childhood ir

how to handle their feelings

The judge approved of
Dotty's sympathy for the con-
demned youth, and agreed that
it may be "all too true" that
in committing this crime, he
was getting back at all of his
aches and fears"
But in getting back at all
of his aches and fears, Saliva
tore Agron, according to the
verdict Of the jury, participated
in a crime which resulted in the
killing of two law-abiding teen
ayers who were total strangers
to him, wlD were minding their

District to Submit
Teacher Pay Bill

The Commissioners today de-
cided to seek congressional
authority to deny automatic
pay raises to District public
school teachers whose work is
below par.
Under the bill, School Supt.
Carl F. Hansen would be al
lowed to withhold the annual
raise from any teacher whose
performance rating the pre-
viouS year was rated "unsatis-
factory"
The new chairman of the
Board of Commissioners, Wal
ter N. Tobriner, was the major
supporter of the proposal last
fall while serving as president
Of the Board Of Education. Mr..
Tobriner held that the present
automatic pay-increase system
is not fair to many teachers
who do earn ratings of salts
factory or better.
At today's meeting of the
Commissioners, Mr.. Tobriner
explained that, under Board
of Education rules, two con-
Secutive unsatisfactory reports
would be tantamount to au-
tomato dismissal.
The bill that will be sub
mitted to Congress, through the
Federal Budget Bureau, also
includes the controversial pro-
poSal to give extra pay to
teachers who have extra duty,
such as coaching.
The maximum pay increase
would be Is per cent. The
extra pay bill was passed by
the House in the last Congress,
but failed to clear the Senate.
