USES Staff Tackles
Pupil Dropout Problem

month 1t works with about
1000 applicants under 81 years
Of age.
Changes in the dropout pro-
gram have been dictated by ex-
perience, the director explains.
Originally, the youths were
asked to come down to our Of
flee. but now we go out to
them" Mr.. Hetzel said. I'VE
contact them by mail and tele-
phone, and sometimes go to
their homes to talk to them.
Number Admittedly Low
Mr.. HetZel estimates about
20 to Is youngsters considering
leaving school are served each
month by USES, most OF them
boys. Although the number is
low compared with the citys
dropout rate. his agency feels
a constructive start has been
made in attacking the problem,
Mr.. Hetzel said.
Many dropouts leave school
without warning; they simply
stop attending, Mr.. Hetzel
noted. So the schools send
their names to USES and en-
ployment counselors seek them
out.
The Service to Youth Office
is financed primarily with Fed
eral money made available by
the Labor Department. Mr..
Hetzel said. The program
costs about 100000 annually.
Responded to Queries
USES was one of the organi-
cations responding to queries
on progress in the community
since the D. c. Health and We'll
fare Council released its study
of the poor here, What price
dependency" in November,
1859.
The queries were sent out by
the followup committee on de-
pendency of the D. C. Council.
The committee has been asked
to recommend to the councils

and Welfare Council of the Ma
tional Capital Area. which Of
the 70 recommendations in the
1859 report are appropriate for
HWC action, and which should
be given priority.

9 Rescued
AfterSpiI
In Potomac

Nine persons were thrown
into the Potomac River last
night when a 16-foot outboard
boat capsized near Sheperd's
Landing after striking an un-
derwater obstruction.
They were rescued within 10
minutes by a passing boat and
apparently no one was any the
worse for the experience.
Kenneth V. Studds, jr., 20,
Of 1901 Carleton avenue, Falls
Church, owner Of the runabout,
said everyone clung to the side
of the overturned boat and no
body panicked.
Mr.. Studds said he had been
to Marshall Hall amusement
park with his brother John,
18. and three friends, Bobby
Ducker, Dickie Labrozzi, and
Bob Fioramonti. At the park
they met two youths and two
girls who had missed the last
excursion boat back to Wash
ington and offered them a
ride. He said he never did find
out who they were.
AS the Studs boat was
passing Shepherds Landing
opposite Alexandria near Blue
Plains, Harbor Police said it
apparently passed through an
area where hundreds" of un-
derwater pilings have rotted to
the waterline and are con-
cealed from view most of the
time. Mr.. Studds said his out
board engine struck something
under the water, flipped up
and sent the boat into a tight
turn that capsiZed it.
Ten minutes later, Jack
Rockholt of Falls Church, Va,
and two friends came along
from Marshall Hall and pulled
the nine wet people out of the
water.
Mr.. Rockholt said his boat
also struck something under
the water and Vas unable to
move for an hour and a half.
1t was about 2 am. when Mr..
Rockholt finally was able to
put the nine ashore at the foot
of Prince street in Alexandria.

WOMEN MEAN BUSINESS

6JaI SLaII WTlJeE
"The Legislatures got a fight
on its hands this time" a vet
eran Maryland politician re-
marked last week. Those wom-
en- mean business"
The women to whom he re-
ferred, the Montgomery County
League Of Women Voters, do,
indeed, mean business.
This week the women will
make a bid for Statewide sup
port OF a proposed referendum
to nullify creation of an 9Th
Congressional District in Prince
Georges and Howard counties.
II, as expected, the Mary
land League of Women Voters
approves circulation of the ref
erendum petitions. those wom-
en-" are set to tackle some of
the States keenest politicians
in an all-out battle.
The women, led by Montgom-
cry President Mrs. C. M. Derry
berry, feel that populous Mont
.gomery as well as other parts
OF. the State, were unfairly
treated by the legislature when
1t recently approved the new
two-county congressional dis
trict. Maryland's new seat in
Congress was the result of pop
ulation growth in the past
decade.
Must Obtain Signatures
What the women hope to do
Is to refer the matter to the
people for Statewide vote next
year.
To do this, they must obtain
5,00l voters signatures by June
and a total of 10000, half
from outside Montgomery
County. by June 80. .
Public opinion is on our
side,' Mrs. Derryberry declared
at a council of war in the front
room of her chief strategist,
Mrs. Alan Trick, 8506 jefferson
street, Bethesda.
This thing has caught on
like wildfire, and we think it
will be pretty hard to stop"
The campaign began Spon-
taneously, they agreed, soon
after the re-districting bill was
passed two months ago.
1T was a grass roots thing"
Mrs. Derryberry observed. "Peo-
pie began complaining about it
everywhere"
At a meeting on March %, a
group of Montgomery League
members asked Mrs. William
A. Schell, then county presi-
dent. to submit the matter to
the State league. The State
board reacted Immediately,
calling an emergency meeting
Of local presidents who agreed
to include the question on the
agenda Of the State conven-
ton.
The matter is scheduled to be
discussed Wednesday and voted
on Thursday at the convention
in Baltimore's Hotel Stafford.
Ready for Action
Then, If they approve it,"
observed Mrs. Trick. the county
leagues voter service chairman,
well Jump into action on Fri
day"
Petitions have already been
printed, and more than $500 |
signatures obtained since a
week ago when various political
groups unofficially launched
the drive.
The drive will be conducted
on a door-to-door basis, ac-
cording to Mrs. Trick.
We're prepared to work ev-
cry morning, afternoon and !

this campaign a success" she

A fallout shelter ordered by
the Dean of the Virginia Theo-
logical Seminary, designed by
the company of the former ma
tional civil defense chief and
approved by the Office of Civil
and Defense Mobilization can
not be built in Alexandria, Va.
It does not square with the
city's building code.
Charles Everly, engineer for
the Alexandria building inspec-
tor, said yesterday that con-
struction of the proposed shelter
would be illegal. He said no
formal request for a permit has
been filed on behalf of Dean
Jesse M. Trotter, but that he
has told the company selling the
shelter an application would be
rejected.
Dean Trotter is out Of the
city and could not be reached
for comment.
However, Paul D. Vann,
president Of Columbia Struc-
lures of Arlington, Va, said he
had received an order for the
shelter from Dean Trotter and
had talked informally with Mr..
Everly. In view of the build
ing code restriction, Mr.. Vsnn
said, he decided not to ask for
a construction permit.
Situation in District
In the District, there are no
specific building code regula-
tions covering construction of
bomb shelters, city officials
said. The construction request
is judged on the basis of
whether the proposed shelter
is "structurally stable" and is
in line with civil defense rec
concentrations, officials ex-
planned.
Dean Trotter wanted to add

sentative of the Wonder COM
pany. He helped Dean Trotter
pick out a $1,500-shelter and
discussed a larger shelter for
the seminary and additional
smaller ones for faculty men,
berS.
But the whole thing was
dropped last Friday when Mr..
Everly cited the Alexandria
building code.
Bypass the Code
In the meantime, however
the city council has authorized
Building Inspector A. r. Lash
to bypass, the city code and use
instead a code drafted by the
Building Officials Conference
of America.
Mr.. Lash said today it would
be impossible to predict whether
the wonder shelter could win
his approval under the BOCA
code because the builder did not
submit detailed plans.
Mr.. Everly said he was not
shown actual construction plans
during the informal discussion.
He said he did not inform the
builders of the BOCA provision
because he can not advise ap-
plicants.
Mr.. Everly said that Sec
ton 533 of the code bars Quon-
Set-type structures with thin
steel, unsupported roofs, making
no exception for underground
buildings. The proposed shelter
has this type Of roof.
The Wonder shelter is de-
signed principally to protect
people from radioactive fallout,
although it would give some
protection from distant nuclear
blasts. The bracing required by
the Alexandria code is not nee
|essary for such a shelter, in
the opinion of OCDM engineers.
