There are 43 inmates Of the
Lorton Youth Center in barred
cells at District jail today be-
cause they couldn't stand pros
perity.
"a place to give young men
who are novices at crime a
break" is how one official
described the SIS million center
when it was opened two years
ago.
Forty-three Of the 301 in
mates, and more that officials
are not certain Of, rejected that
break last week in two out
bursts of destructive and pro-
fame violence. If D. C. Correc-
ton Department officials have
their way, these 43 will face
prosecution soon for the fren-
zied outburst they staged last
Tuesday and Thursday led by
the Black Muslin cult.
Ultimate punishment for the
rioters, including nine youths
who have been put in isolation
at the center for being dis
turbing influences" rests with
the Justice Department here, il
was disclosed last night.

Director Donald Clemmer is

punishment against the rioters
and FBI agents are Investigate

District of Virginia said that
if charges are placed against
the rioters they would be
handed to a Federal grand jury

There are three possible ave-
nues for Federal prosecution,
he said: melting to riot, de-
struction of Government prop
erty or assault.

But there is always the
problem Of trouble-makers and
we are understaffed to handle
situations like those that arose
last week. There are 81 uni
formed correction officers on
the staff. On a given shift
there are 26 men on duty-on
paper. But there are six men
assigned to tower duty and
each man gets two days off a
week. Where does that leave
us? We'd need 80 to IS men
a shift to adequately run the
center. If we have 10 a shift,
we're lucky.
"But the ones who say they
are Black Muslims, 1t ap-
pears to us, are invariably the
trouble-makers. I doubt if more
than a mere handful OF the in
mates are genuine members Of
the sect. Most Of them just say
they are to cause difficulty"

isn't opposed to relief to legally

8. He likes two rehabilitative
programs presented by the de-
partment-a request for funds
to expand the pioneer residen-
tial training center for mothers

become self-supporting, and an
other for $50. 900 for day care
for children whose mothers are
learning Job skills.

The Senator repeatedly en-

or rejected by his colleagues,
he stressed.
But his mastery of budget
details, his intense convictions
about separating "the sheep

recipients, and the general lack
of interest of most of the other
subcommittee members make
him the man to be reckoned
with.

Job Aid Costs
For Hospitals
Morse Proposal
Would Cover All
Non-Profit Groups
BY SAM EASTMAN
Star Staff Writer

The impact of a recent ex-
pansion Of the Districts mem-
ployment compensation levy to
such institutions as non-profit
hospitals and universities would
be eased under a Senate bill.
Legislation enacted earlier
this year extended jobless bene-
fits to persons working for SCI
entific. educational and literary
non-profit institutions.
Many of the institutions af-
fected said they would have no
choice but to pass on the new
unemployment compensation
costs to the public.
Legislation introduced last
week by Senator Morse, Demo-
crat of Oregon, would reduce
the length of time it now takes
for these institutions to qualify
for a lower joblesS pay levy.
Heavy Initial Costs
Under the recently enacted
legislation, the newly covered
employers, such as George
Washington University and the
Washington Hospital Center,
must pay an initial tax of 81
per cent on the first $4,000 of
salary for each employee for a
period Of about three years.
After that time, they would
become eligible for a reduced
levy.
Under Senator Morse's bill,
this period would be cut back
to q little more than one year.
When an employer becomes
eligible for a lower unemploy-
ment compensation rate, the
percentage he must pay on the
So 900 salary base may drop to
as low as one-tenth of / per
cent. This new levy is calcu-
lated under a reserve ratio"
formula involving the total
amount of money the employer
paid. the amount of benefits
drawn, and the average annual
payroll.
Major Savings Seen
A reduced jobless pay tax
can mean a major saving to an
employer. The amount paid on
$4,000 at 81 per cent is $8l,
while at one-tenth Of / per cent
the figure is So.
In introducing the bill, Sena-
tor Morse said u Is estimated
that George Washington Uni
verslty and 0eorgetown Uni
vefsity each would have to pay
more than 81 million in unem-
ployment compensation taxes
before they would qualify for q
reduced rate under the present
statute. The additional cost
would have to be passed on to
the students. the Senator
reported.
This new provision Of the
law will also place a very heavy
burden on the cost of operat-
ing hospitals in the District of
Columbia which, in turn, viii
result in increased fees charged
to patients" Senator Morse
said.
Senator Morse said he has
been told that his legislative
proposal has the support Of the
city's business community and
the Unemployment Compensa-
ton Board. The Senator said
he did not know of any opposi-
ton from any element Of the
community.
A similar bill is expected to
be introduced shortly in the
House.
