WELFARE CHIEF SAYS
TYRRELL BUDGET NOT
GIVEN AFTER DEADLINE

A Claim that the Welfare
Departments budget for Tyrrell
County was submitted late has
evoked a quick denial from j.
w. Hamilton, Tyrrell County
Welfare Director.
Hamilton, Director of Tyrrell
County Public Welfare since it's
inception, stated this week that
accusations by various Tyrrell
County Commissioners charging
that his report was submitted
late were untrue"
"The budget" he said, has
been ready for two weeks, and
the Welfare Board had been
waiting for an opportunity to
present it to the commissioners
for the purpose of their agreeing
or disagreeing with it."
Hamilton stated that he had
contacted the chairman of the
Board of Commissioners, Harry
P. Swain, and asked for an ap-
pointment. He claimed the two
boards were asked to meet for
the purpose of considering the
budget and that June A was the
time set. at turned out to be
the date on which they claim the
budget was late" he said.
The Welfare Department Dr.
rector also calimed that he had
received no notice of a prior
meeting or any notice that the
budget was desired earlier.
whatever was their purpose
in not passing the budget for
1962-1963 presented, we want it
understood that our budget was
ready and we have done every
thing for an understanding be-
tween THE two boards" Hamil-
ton concluded.

Juvenile Court
Compromise Bill
Offered House

Representative Springer, Re-
publican of Illinois, sought to-
day to break the logjam over
District Juvenile Court legis-
lation.
Mr.. Springer, a member Of
the House District Committee.
introduced a compromise mea-
sure which would add only one
more judge to the Juvenile
bench. Also, the age limit of
juvenile offenders brought be-
fore the court would be re-
duced from 18 to IT.
The Congressman said it is
exceedingly unlikely" that
either the Davis bill on the
court, now pending on the
House floor, or the Senate
passed bill setting up a three
judge court can be enacted
into law.
The need for court legisla-
ton is based on the fact that
the backlog is now over 1000
cases.
The Davis bill would wipe
out the autonomy of the court
and turn it into a branch of
Municipal Court. 1t would also
reduce the age limit from 18
to Is.
A floor fight is expected in
the House when the Davis bill
is called up for vote, probably
next month.

USO Turns to GSA
As Hunt for Site Fails

ford to pay only a minimal
rent.
The USO is supported solely
by contributions to the United
Givers Fund, and the allotment
also must cover USO groups
elsewhere, where Washington
Servicemen are stationed.
The District government is
unable to provide the space be-
cause it has its own housing
shortage for city agencies.
So the last hope, Mr.. Carey
concluded, is the GSA, which
is charged with allotting quar-
ters to Federal Government
agencies.
A GSA spokesman, mean
while, reported that the ad-
ministration has sympathetic
concern" over the USO's plight.
But, he continued, the GSA
is IaceQ WIN lCS own problems
of finding space to house Gov
ernment agencies.
Attempts to help the USO in
it's plight, it was learned, come
from former President Truman,
who helped reactivate the Or
ganization after World War II,
and from Defense Secretary
Mcnamara.
Mr.. Truman urged MIR. Nc
Namara last October to see
what he could do about finding
the USO a home. Secretary
Mcnamara then asked GSA to
look into the situation.
