D. 6. School
Enrolment
Sets Record

The Nations Capital today
opened the doors of its 1872 pub
lie schools to a record 126,80O
students-the largest single
enrolment in the Washington
area.
In all parts of the city, the
day marked the end Of summer
vacation and the beginning of
a new year which already has
brought school openings in
nearby Maryland and Virginia
The District enrolment, the
largest ever registered. will
top last years count by 5000.
Teachers in Catholic schools
today were urged to "have a
deep and constant respect" for
their public-school colleagues
The advice came from the Rev
Gerard S. Slogan, director OF
the department of religious ed
ucation at Catholic University
Speaking before an overflow
congregation of 1900 parochial
teachers at st. Matthew's Ca
thedral. Father Slogan contin-
ued: They (the public school
teacherS) have taken on a far
more difficult educational task
than we, and without the in
comparable aid of a common
religious faith"
The mass formally opened
the 1852 school year for ST.
900 students in the SO Catholic
high schools and Sc elementary
schools in the archdiocese OF
Washington. Glasses will start
in most of these schools to-
morrow.
Yesterday, most public school
principals held informal get-to-
gethers for their teachers, pri-
marily for the benefit of the
new ones, so any problems
could be ironed out before the
students arrived.
Some District students may
find it difficult during the first
few weeks, perhaps up until
Christmas. Some 2,400 will he
placed in halliday sessions.
In addition to the District
school also opened today fol-
some 2,100 students in nearby
Falls Church, but on a full-day
schedule. Both elementary and
secondary pupils reported at
70 am.
The Falls Church school sys-
tenn was one of those in which
racial desegregation occurred
for the first time. Supt. Irwin
Schmitt reported that two
Negro pupils entered George
Mason Junior Senior High
School and that a third began
classes at Madison Elementary
School without incident.
Today already was a full day
for most area Jurisdictions.

He made his recommended

v. Murray and released after
yesterdays arrest of a To-
year-old boy charged with two
cases of rape and three cases
of assault involving women.
Chief Winters said he made
the report on behalf of his
division because of much con-
troversy and comment over the
juvenile problem. Late last
month the House District Com
mite released a report on the
Districts Juvenile Court which
also called for dropping the
maximum age two years. The
Senate passed a bill to add two
juvenile court judges but made
no mention of changing the
age limit.
Chief Winters said his pro-
posal does not apply to all 16
and II year old juveniles,

It took some doing, but Adam
and Eve left Halls Restaurant
today.
Since 1897, the huge paint
ing had looked down from the
wall in the barroom of the
quickly vanishing institution at
1000 7th street S.W.
The wine and the song and
the elbows that leaned on the
bar are gone, and tonight in
half stripped rooms the last
dinners will be served. But
this made no difference to
Adam and Eve.
Three movers couldn't bulge
the painting. Two Marines
eating lunch were called in.
A waiter brought a ladder. A
few bystanders provided the
groans. Finally the last fast
ening was unfastened and the
movers eased the painting to
the floor, out the door to a
truck and to its new home at
First and v streets S.W.
Owner Julie Hall is seeing
to it that there will be little
left but the walls for the ur-
ban renewal people to de-
moliSh.
The long mahogany bar and
the spittoon have already gone.
So have the beveled mirrors
that glistened behind the bars.
Layers of crumbled wallpaper
hid behind these mirrors for
76 years. Yellowed Cancelled
checks from 1889 were found
and a statement and invoice
from the Wells Fargo pony ex-
press dated 1892.
The gas lights and the old
telephones will go next. The
dishwasher was left for an
overhaul.
There has been no big fare
we'll party, says Julie, just a
lot of little ones. Many of the
oldtimers want to come back
for a final drink, alone.
Today a 64-year-old man sat
alone and took a long last look.
This is the first place I ever
had a drink. I was 18 years
old"

placing all Is and 17-year-old

There should be, in our
opinion, a presumption of re-
sponsibility REPUTABLE by the
circumstances of each individ-
ual case. The law should be
flexible so as to allow for juve-
nile proceedings for deserving
youngsters.

should be required to show
cause why he should not be
handled as an adult" he said.
Chief Winters said his re-
port reflects the opinion of the
personnel of the Youth Aid Di-
vision who have handled thou
sands of juveniles over a num-
Der of years.
FL He said that Judge Orm
Ketcham has waived more cases
than his predecessor but saic
that still less than one-fourth
of the waivable juveniles were
referred to the United States
District Court here during fiscal
1861.

by one zoja Rybin, who ran
upstairs to escape the intruder.
Ran Out Door
At 11:10 pm. the same night,
Julie Sawyer, 16, surprised him
as he was leaving her parents
home at 1920 Seventeenth
street NV. He ran through
the kitchen and out the back
door. Later, Gerard Sawyer
found $40 was missing from a
purse in a bedroom.
Earlier that evening, he was
accused of attempting to snatch
the purse of Mary S. Isabel of
4704 Blagden avenue NV. at
Seventeenth and Blagden
streets NV. She held on and
the boy ran away.
1t was in connection with the
foregoing charges that the
youth was taken before Juve-
nile Court and placed on pro-
baton.
On October 16, 1859 when
the youth was in the eighth
grade) he was arrested shortly
before II pm. in the $500 block
of Fourteenth street NV. on a
charge of robbery by snatching
the purse of Miss Carolyn L.
Chilberg, %, of 1904 Sixteenth
street NV. in the 1900 block of

berg said she was taking some
laundry from her car when the
youth grabbed her purse from
the front seat and escaped
with $40 in travellers checks
and a Treasury check for $l18.
Sent to Home
The youth was sent to the
Receiving Home to await Ju-
venile Court action on this
case because records indicated
he was on probation. 1t was
this case on which Juvenile
Court decided to continue the
probation because of tn e
youIn gOOQ adjustment.
On March 8, 1860, the youth
was again arrested, this time
at Twenty-seventh street and
Dumbarton avenue NV, on a
charge of disorderly conduct

year-old girl told police he
was peeping in window
of her home in the 1000 block

was not pressed. His proba-
ton continued.
The next entry on the youth
was his arrest yesterday.

Court, but was free on proba-
ton.
Norris Allen Kent, who
stands 6 feet tall, weighs $50
pounds and looks years older
than he is, has talked freely
to police about some of his
activities, according to Sex
Squad Capt. Charles Burns. He
is the product of broken home
and most recently has lived with
mother in an apartment in the
1900 block of S street NV.
He went as far as the Eighth
Grade in Mcfarland Junior
High School. He says he has
been a prowler and a Peeping
Tom since he was 10.
Louis Levathes, executive
and legal assistant to Juvenile
Court Judge Orm w. Ketcham,
said the youth first came to
the attention of the court on
April "a, 1859, when he was IA.
On that occasion, Judge
Ketcham placed the boy on
probation on charges of at least
two houSebreakings on at
tempted pocket-book snatching.
This was done, according to
Mr.. Levathes, because it was
the boys first time in court,
Returned to Court
The boy returned to the
court in December, 1859, for
a review of his probation be-
cause he had been involved in
another pocketbook snatching,
according to police. Mr.. LIE
vathes said the judge continued
the probation indefinitely
this usually means until the
subject becomes 18-because
the youth had been making q
good adjustment in the COM
munit. y
A third time, the youth re-
turned to Juvenile Court &C
cused of disorderly conduct
through being a "Peeping
Tom" This charge was not
pressed by the director Of So
cial work, Mr.. Levathes said,
so the probation was continued
automatically.
Now that the youth is 16,
Mr.. Levathes said, the court
will consider a waiver to adult
jurisdiction for prosecution in
District Court, which police
have said they will request.
That's the Juvenile Court
view of the boy. What do po-
lice records add?
H0uSebreaklng charge
They first became aware of
him on January Is, 1859, when
he was arrested while in the
seventh grade at MacFarland
on four housebreaking charges.
These charges, all referred to
Juvenile Court, were that:
On December 10, 1858, he
jimmied the bathroom window
of the home of Barbara Lister
at 1408 Hamilton street NV.
at $3.50 pm. and ransacked
the house without getting any,
thing. Police say he told them
he was looking for money to
buy clothes.
