Chief Winters spoke on City
Side, to be shown on WTOP-
TV today.
He opposed a curfew as vir-
tually unenforceable in large
cities, and also as unfair to the
"98 per cent" of youth who
don't get into trouble.
Curfews have been tried in
some large cities and didn't
work, he said.
Loss of direction and cohe-
siveneSs in the family is a ma
jor factor behind delinquency
he said.
Children will develop nor
mally if there is fair and con-
sistent discipline in the home
he believes.
Long delays at juvenile court
in the past between the date OF
an offense and the hearing
have been "a very important
factor" in the rise of youth
crime here, he said. Youth
crime rose more than II pei
cent in 1862, and 43 per cent
of all the offenders were re-
peaters.
OF the present three-judge
court, Chief Winters said, I'm
pleased with the progress the
new juvenile court is making"

u. S. Is Asked
Anew to Take
D. Stadium

The District has made an
other effort to shift financial
responsibility for the new Dis
trict Stadium to the Federal
Government.
Commissioner Walter N. To-
briner repeated his request
that the Interior Department
assume stadium management
in a second letter to Secretary
Udall last week.
The latest letter is believed
to contain a formal request for
Federal take-over on grounds
the District cannot afford the
stadium debt and interest pay
ments.
No action ever resulted from
the Commissioners first over
ture last summer. Mr.. Udall
said then the District Govern
ment's approach was 'infor-
mali and thus was never given
serious consideration.
Talk of turning over the $40
million stadium to the Federal
Government began when city
officials had to rush to the Fed
.eral Treasury to meet the first
S4l5.800 interest payment due
on the S19.8 million bond issue
sold to finance its building.
Although the District Armory
Board, which manages the sta
dunn. was able to meet the sec
ond payment, the arena still
carries an anticipated annual
deficit of 1927, 900.
No one has even begun to
figure out how the principle on
the $l9.8 million worth of
bonds will be paid off.
Mr.. Tobriner has warned
that alternatives to turning the
stadium over to the Interior
Department are to increase
taxes for District residents or
seek larger Federal appropria-
tons.

public school indignation issue.
He served on the subcommittee
on tuition grants and was the
first to apply the phrase free

laws now in effect.
Considered to be one of the
leading constitutional lawyers
in the General Assembly. he
wrote a dissent to the 1856 re-
port Of the Senate Courts Of

schools in an attempt to avoid
indignation in schools. Mr.. Do
novan's minority report held
that the doctrine had no con-

This year, as a member OF
the Virginia Commission on
Constitutional Government. he
wrote a dissent TO the commits

Senator Donovan has as

need.
He was active In the reap

IN A DAY WHEN so much
of what gets into print is
either an exercise in preten-
tious obscHrity or self-con-
scious oversimplification -
not to mention the horrors

Mrs. Smith is an architect
with an understanding of
the encompassing nature Of
style, in the environment of
prose as well as of buildings.
She defines the character
of public works:

all buildings and appurte-
nances of any kind for pub

and power plants to tele-
phone poles and manhole
covers-all airports, bus ter
minals, stations, all bridges
and culverts, all monuments
and fountains, all piers and

canals, all pipelines and
powerlines, are included"
She explains their signifi-
canoe:
They are all part Of an
increasingly dominant part
Of city rebuilding"
She sketches the problem:
Design is done by any de-

District 10 Ask
Relocation
Payment Bill
Cost of Reimbursinq
Displaced FumiIies
Put at ST Million

A bill to provide a long
sought central relocation service
for the city will be one of the
major pieces of District legisla-
ton submitted when Congress
convenes. ..
Engineer Commissioner Fred
erick j. Clarke said yesterday
that the bill will authorize
payments for moving expenses
If persons displaced by highway
construction and other public
projects.
The legislation will provide
for payments up to 5000 per
family and up to $4,000 for
moving expenses of a business.
An estimated 1000 families
here will be displaced over a
five year period because of
highway, urban renewal and
other public building projects.
Sees No Obstacles
Central relocation service
legislation was approved by the
Commissioners last July, but it
has been held up in the Bureau
of the Budget.
Gen. Clarke said that the
budget bureau had been watt
ing to see whether the Federal
highway program would permit
payments for moving expenses.
Now that the Federal program
which permits such payments
has been approved, Gen. Clarke
said he believes there are no
obstacles which would prevent
Sldget bureau approval.
The moving expenses will be
tackled onto the cost of District
building projects, Gen. Clarke
said on WWDC's Report to
the People" program.
He estimated that the relo-
cation program could cost 81
million over a 15-year period.
At present the District has
two relocation services. The
Redevelopment Land Agency
assists the families and bust
ness firms displaced by urban
renewal and provides moving
payments.
Jurisdiction Unsettled
The Welfare Department
helps persons displaced by
highway and school construc-
ton to find new housing, but
provides no moving expenses.
Gen. Clarke said no decision
has been made yet as to which
agency would be responsible
for the proposed central relo-
cation services.
The inability of the Highway
Department to provide funds
for moving expenses Of persons
displaced by road construction
has been a factor in opposition
to some parts Of the Inner
Loop.
Gen. Clarke said also that
steps are being taken to pro-
vide additional public housing
and low-rent private housing
for persons displaced by pub
lie projects.
The Commissioners recently
approved five new sites for
public housing.
Sees Rise Unavoidable
Gen. Clarke said that the
city hopes to use urban re-
newal authority to acquire sites
for low-rent private housing.
He said he hopes the Rede-
velopment Land Agency can
assemble small sites now tied
up by multiple ownership and
sell them to developers for
construction of low-rent pri-
vate housing.
Asked about the Commits
sioners' proposed tax-increase
program, Gen. Clarke said that
it may not be necessary to
recommend to Congress all the
tax boosts the Commissioners
are now considering.
He said that he doubted
whether an increase in the
city's real estate tax rate can
be avoided.

and games dating back to the

Vladimir zaStrozhnov and Ale
zei Dolgikh are the leading ath-
letes in this, performing TO an

ring music and a rising cres-

Another rouser is the popu-
lar "Gopak" which serves as a
finale, with the entire company
performing with abandon, cap
ped by some unbelievable leaps.
The more energetic exercises
also include a Russian Dance
Contest" with two groups chal-
lenging each other to more and
more difficult terpsichorean
feats, and THE Whalers." with
the men of the company spin
ming in the traditional Yah

While the Ukrainian sense Of
fun is evident throughout this
program, it is abundantly dis
played in several numbers. One
of these, especially diverting Is
THE Puppets" in which q trio
of dancers initiate q marionette
performance Of q rustic Rus
sian version Of the eternal tri-
angle. Alexandra Maltseva, Vic
tor Lymar and Victor Pobez-
himov are the deft performers.
Another, combining comedy
and amazing dexterity, Is
"Polzunets," in which q group
Of male dancers whips through
the "Polzunok," dancing the
whole thing in squatting posi-
ton. Makes your own ancient
knees ache just to watch them.
New Boots" also Is a funny
one, as four dancers represent
ing four OK cart drivers Of
varied sizes try out their one

Capitol Theater. This is the
first attraction imported (by
Sol Hurok, naturally under
the new cultural exchange
agreement and 1t Is easily worth
any stress and strain that went

These Ukrainians are superb

boundless energy. They dance
as If doing it for the pure JOY
of dancing. As people le-to-people
goodwill ambassadors, they gen.
crate enough of that commodity
that it may take their political
leaders years to break it down.
-
The Ukrainians are another
set of folk dancers, but don't
expect any mere old-faShioned
folk dances of them. These are
in evidence here, all right, but
only as inspiration for the cho-
geography of the troupe's ar
tistic director, Pavel Virsky.
From folk dances, vividly
colorful costumes and stirring
music, he has conceived a wide
array of varied and excitingly
theatrical entertainment. These
are dances akin to those you
have seen previous Russian
troupes perform, but with the
distinctive marks Of the Ukraine
and Mr.. Virsky.
The distinctive ukrainian
touch is an irrepresStble sense
of humor that lends q gleeful
comedy note to most If not all
of the numbers. The Virsky
choreographic distinction is q
knack for weaving a small folk
dance into large, intricate and
continually fascinating patterns
without losing the original
dance.
