THE RAMBLER HAD
heard a story about the
chairman, something about
flying an airplane under a
bridge. He asked him about
it.
Cant remember" said
Mr.. Doggett, with a wry
smile, turning the converse
ton back to the UGF drive.
But in the old files of The
Star, the Rambler turned up
something on Mr.. Doggett
which said quite a lot about
the man.
The story noted that 1t.
Doggett, dismissed from the
Army Air Force for danger
out" flying, had entered the
infantry and won a commits
sion. Also reported, on jan
uary 90, 1915:
LIT. Doggett, with a single
company of infantry, held
off a strong German attack
on Schillersdorf, IL miles
west of Naguenau, France. -.
ION foot, 1t. Doggett'S unit
rushed half a mile to the
edge of the town and took
up positions protecting an
unarmed medical unit. So
ferocious was 1t. Doggett's
stand that the German line
was forced back long
enough for the medicS to eS-
cape unframed"
Maybe, if the fund drive is
successful, somebody can get
the Tiger" to talk about
that airplane incident.

School, who made a survey of
teachers of personal and family
living and of students who had
taken the course and are now
married.
The girls she contacted gen.
orally agreed the course had
been of more value to them
than the boys felt it had been
to them.
Teachers almost all thought
the course was valuable. But
among the suggestions given
most often was that boys be
given instruction later than the
girls when the boys would be
more mature and more recep-
tive.
Those interviewed in connec-
ton with this series almost uni
formly emphasized their con-
Germ about instilling in their
students a code of mora lity.
They called attention proudly
to the fact that the physical
education department is t h e
only place in the school system
where a conscious and planned
effort is made to influence con-
duct.

Teachers interviewed in con-

Electric Rate
Lower Schedule
Effective With
November Billing
By DAN GOTTLIEB
Star staff Writer

Lower electric rates in the
District will go into effect with
November billings, saving each
residential customer S1.44 a
year. the District Public Util-
tiles Commission announced to-
day.
The reduction is the result of
a lowered rate schedule filed by
the Potomac Electric Power Co.
and approved by the P. U. C.
The total saving to residential,
commercial and industrial Gus
toners in the District will be
81 $4,000 annually, according
to Joseph S. Greco, executive
secretary.
For the entire Metropolitan
Area, the reduction will come
to about $2.6 million annually,
Mr.. Greco said. The new rates
must be approved by Maryland
and Virginia regulatory author
tiles. however, before they 60
into effect in those jurisdic-
tons.
The reductions would be
divided about as follows: The
District. $1.3 million or 81 per
cent; Maryland, $1.2 million
or 45.7 per cent, and Virginia,
$4,000 or 81 per cent. About
$500. 900 Of the total includes
savings to water and space
heating customers in Virginia
and Maryland put into effect
last August.
At the same time, the P. U. c.
announced that it will continue
its investigation of PEPCO's
rates and profits. However, it
was indicated that the public
phase of the investigation would
be ended.
The announcement of P. U. c.
approval of the rate reduction,
after six months of private
negotiations with PEPCO, fol-
lowed a plea from Senator
Morse, Democrat of Oregon,
that the rate reduction be re-
jected as mot enough"
In a Senate speech last night,
the Senator said that PEPCO
is making as much as 81 million
a year in excess of its allowed
rate of return. The P. U. C.
should not accept a one-third
measure" the Senate District
Committee member said. HI
urged the P. NC. to reject thu
reduction and proceed with ;
full and complete investigation
of rates"
Chairman James A. Washing.
ton. jr., replied that the P. U. C
wanted District customers Il
get the advantage of a reduc-
ton now. Further reductions
could be ordered on the basis
of continuing study" OF
PEPCO's rates, he said.
Asked if the formal investiga-
ton. including public hearings
would continue, Mr.. Washing
ton said that an announcement
would be made on this tomor-
row. He did confirm, however
that a scheduled November
public hearing in the investiga-
ton would not be held.
The rates approved today
will result in the following an

Generation to Generation"
is a work of art in the field of
visual education. Produced in
full color, the film tells the
story of human reproduction
with extraordinary good taste
in % minutes.
Students in some Washing
ton sc hools laugh right out
loud when they see it.
They don't find the subject
of reproduction funny. But
they think the members of the
white, middle class farm family
who appear in the film are
among the strangest creatures
they have ever seen.
Washington, with its large
Negro population, shares with
other cities the problem of OBJ
tanning books and films that
portray life as the children
know it. The life of a white
farm family is something COM
pletely outside the experience
of a Negro child raised in the
dense heart of a big city.
Swedish Charts
Because it is a pioneer in sex
education, with a program con-
sidered a model by many other
educators, Washin g ton has
special difficulty in obtaining
the kind of books and films the
teachers need to do their job
well. None of the standard
textbooks used in health edu-
cation, for example, covers hu-
man reproduction. Drawings of
the human body almost invar-
iably are incomplete.
Teachers and their supervi-
sors in the Distric t s public
schools have thus been forced
to improvise in order to provide

The
Rambler
...Meets
The Chairman
By JOHN McKELWAY

Who is this Leonard B.
Doggett, ir., anyway?
His name has been pop
ping up in the papers Of late,
identified as the chairman
of the 1868 United Givers
Fund Drive. So the Rambler
decided he would meet the
man who hopes to raise $8.3
million.
His office is under one of
his parking garages on Tenth
street. He is president of the
Doggett Parking Co. and
operates some 80 parking
locations around town.
Waiting for Mr.. DOggett,
the office seem ed large
enough.
When Mr.. Doggett arrived,
it was crowded.
Mr.. Doggett is a towering
figure. He's about 6 feet, 3
and must weigh close to 21O
pounds. He does not look like
a chairman of a UGF drive.
He looks like a pro football
player.
Mr.. Doggett is a fast talk
ing Irishman. He has intelli-
gent blue eyes which crinkle
up and close when he laughs.
His father opened the
first parking lot in Washing
ton-a lot in the 900 block of
E street, in 1926.
At 10, the son, Bud" Dog
gett, the UGF chairman, was
working in the lot, putting
tickets on windshields, after
school. He later graduated
to parking cars.
Today, after years of rough
going, parking cars is a big
business. Bud Doggett has
1875 employees. The business
started to boom after the
Korean War.

when asked to draw up codes
of conduct-they came back to
the earlier, more rigid beha-
vior pattern" with its emphasis
on obedience of parents, abs
Thence from sexual relations

BILE family life.
All of the teachers admitted
that not all of their students
followed all of the code of con-
duct they had adopted all OF
the time.
When a man has the oppor-
tunity and the spirit moves
him, said one high school
teachers, hes liable to forget
about morals-whether he's a
high school student or a cabi-
net minister"
Some of the improvement in
conduct that has been observed
comes directly from the in
Struction in sex. Teachers
throughout the school system
remarked that they had noted
that boys who have lie arm e d
about the menstrual cycle in
class treat their feminine class
mates with more understand
ing and greater respect.
AS the family living program,
with its pioneering treatment
of sex education, enters its
sixth year in the Districts pub
lie schools, teachers and super
visors alike are pleased with
what they have accomplished
and optimistic about the fu-
ture.
1T may be difficult to mea-
sure what we accomplish now, -
said Birch E. Bayh, who is in
charge of the program, but we
are confident that what we
have accomplished will be ap-
parent in the next generation.

systems doing about sex educotion?

Contract for Land
Mr.. Doyle said that the cor
poration had contracted to buy
the land in a years period from
November 20, 1861.
The corporation has not paid
and has been warned previously
that it was in default. Mr.
Doyle said.
He said the corporations
only response to RLA's warning
was a proposal that the agency
consent to a transfer of a sub,
stantial part of the corpora
TONS stock.
The transfer, he said, is not
acceptable to the agency.
Only last week, Representa-.
tive Dowdy. Democrat of Texas
chairman of a House District
Subcommittee investigating ur-
ban renewal here, requested a
ruling on the eligibility of the
Columbia Plaza project to re-
ceive Federal aid funds.
In a letter to William L. Stay
ton, commissioner of the Urban
Renewal Administration, Mr.
Dowdy said that 1t appeared
that Columbia did not and
does not qualify for Federal
financial assistance under Title
1 Of the Housing Act of 1949,

Mr.. Doyle said he did moi

releasing them.
But he said that when he
acted on their cases he had no
information on their behavior
while in Federal custody.
Judge Ketcham said his
hearings on II other cases Of
similar transfers from the Ma
tional Training School to other
Federal institutions would be
much more detailed. He said
he plans to make pointed in
quiries."
The dispute between Judge
Ketcham and James v. Ben
nett, director of the Bureau Of
Prisons, over the transfer and
resulting release of the four
is caused, the judge said, by
a conflict between District and
Federal law.
District law on juveniles SAYS
that a juvenile cannot be
placed in prison where he may
associate with adult criminals,
the judge noted.
But Mr.. Bennett has pointed
to the authority he has under
Federal law to order the
transfer to any juvenile who
proves himself "unmanageable"

School.

tracts for space for local ju-

said.

Strengthened out through the
courts. A declaratory judg-
ment was sought last spring
in an attempt to resolve this
problem but the youths in
volved then were released be-
fore the matter was settled, he
said.
Regardless. he said, such
transfers should not be ham
died as administrative matters.
In explaining the transfer
of the youths. Mr.. Bennett
said the Federal institutions at
Petersburg. Va, and Ashland
KY, where they were sent,
are designated to receive
youths committed under the
Federal Youth Corrections Act"
In a formal report to Police
Chief Robert v. Murray, Deputy
Chief John E. Winters noted
the conflict and said there was
a definite need for corrective
legislation to resolve it.
U. S. View Cited
Deputy Chief Winters
pointed out that Federal au-
thorities had said the four
youths were not ready for re-
lease. One of them. he said had
been sent to Ashland and later
transferred to Petersburg when
he got in trouble in Ashland.
The other three originally were
transferred to Petersburg.
Chief Murray declined to re-
lease the text of the report I'M

AS CHAIRMAN OF the
drive, Mr.. Doggett does not
serve as a mere figurehead,
lending his name to a cause.
He estimates that since
last February, when he took
over the job, he has spent,
on an average, about four to
eight hours a day on UGF
business.
Yesterday, he was presid-
ing at a staff meeting at8.30
am. At 1890, there was an
other UGF meeting and at
II am. there were some pic
lures to be taken for UGF
publicity purposes.
The Rambler asked him
why he does it.
. This sounds cornball,"
said Mr.. Doggett. But this
town has been good to me.
I owe it something. And
when you see the work of the
agencies, you get involved.
"Of course you make con-
facts. You get to know the
town." he added.
The key to a successful
drive, Mr.. Doggett believes,
comes in picking the right
lieutenants. 1.-THE guys" he
said, who will really work"
He indicated that too Oft

with constant help, got pretty
good at it. At the end of the
year. she was assigned to an
other subject.
In some. cases, sex inStruc-
ton in the schools comes too
late. Miss Bernice Wade, who is
in charge of the program
among girls in the secondary
schools, said she would like to
have more information given in
the sixth grade.
IF We could have a good
program in the sixth grade and
if We could have some social
workers to help out, we could
go a long way toward solving
the profile m S of illegitimacy
and VD among teen-agers," she
said.
Too few prints are available
of the limited number of good
films in the field of human
reproduction and venereal dis
ease. Many students don't see
the films because they are not
available at the time the stu
dents have been prepared to
see them.

Enthusiastically support the pro-

There is no realistic way to
measure the results of the
schools attempts to influence

whether a student has learned
the facts about sex, but no test
that can be given in the class
room can determine how he or
she is going to act.

On paper. at least, Washing
ton has a system for education
about human reproduction that
is a model for other school syS-
TENS.
In practice, it has some seri-
GUS shortcomings, as those in
charge of the program are the
first to admit. These are some
of the problems:
Some principals, trying to
stretch too-tight budgets, have
not provided the books needed
by their teachers. Those teach
ing the eighth grade family liv-
ing course should have six ref
erence books. Some teachers
have none; some have only two
or three of them.

ALBUQUERQUE, NM. (AP) :

ALBUQUERQUE, NM. (AP) :
Dean E. Gladow of Sandia Cor
poration's mechanical de s. gn
section, has developed an intri-
cate assembly of plastic pulley
belts small enough to fit inside
a golf ball but capable of meas
uring the torque of a shaft spin
ming at one million revolutions a
minute.
The company said the new
mechanism may be used in deli
cate Instrumentation tape rec
ords, and may prove useful as a
timing device and speed reducer.
Conventional speed reduction
mechanisms use metal gears,
like those in automobile trans
mi ssions.
Gladow used five miniature
pulley belts made of Mylar poly
ester film, a plastic often used
for sound recorder tape. The
belts link pulley shafts only
nine-hundredths of an inch in
diameter.
