giving a false name in applying
for a Virginia drivers learning

statement VIII n he appeared
before County Court Judge
Paul D. Brown, jr., yesterday.
Police said the young man
gave his name as Richard M.
Ashworth and gave a false ad-
dress and an incorrect birth
date in his application.
Judge Brown asked the de-
fendant, a book salesman, why
he gave the erroneous informa-
ton. The youth replied he

YouthProjects
Funds Asked
Job Truining
Programs Pushed

Representative Sickles. Dem
ocrat of Maryland, and Repre-
sentative Goodell, Republican
of New York, have proposed
that Congress provide money
for two experimental projects
on juvenile delinquency and
school drop-outs in Washing
ton.
The congressman said yes
terday they will introduce the
legislation next week. 1t will
seek $12.5 million for the local
projects, and would extend for
two years, at a cost of $40
million for each year, the
Juvenile Delinquency Control
Act of 1861 under which $40
million a year is being spent
on experimental projects in 1876
cities.
One of the local projects
would be a national youth de-
velopment center, where boys
would live away from unfavor-
able influences and train for
jobs at the same time. The
youths, IA to 81 years old, would
enroll voluntarily. Between 400
to 900 would be accommodated.
Although they might come from
other parts of the country, too,
most would be from Washing
ton.
The second would provide S.
million to continue the work of
Washington Action for Youth
(WAY). a local project related
to the Presidents Committee on
Juvenile Delinquency. WAYS
program includes help for new
families here, special help in
finding and keeping jobs, and

Donald Barrett, II, likes
sports, television, reading and
even studying as much as any
of the other 1880 youngsters at
E a stern Junior High School,
with only one difference. Dom
ny is blind.
The fact that he cannot see
seems only a minor inconven-
fence in the busy life of this
seventh grader who, within the
last three weeks, has become a
popular member of his class at
the big, Sprawling school at 300
East University boulevard, Sill
yer Spring.
Donny was one of many pre-
maturely-born infants in the
early 1950's who suffered per-
manent injuries to the retinas
of his eyes because of an over
supply of oxygen, a subject
about which very little was
known at the time and which
still is a matter of deep con-
Germ and study in hospitals.
Learned BrailIe Early
Mrs. Harry Barrett, of 525 Sou
champion drive, Silver Spring,
took every possible step to
make sure that he would grow
up as normal and Self-suffi-
cient as possible. Donny began
lessons with Braille touch
reading in nursery school, and
today is in the upper quarter of
his class.
Coming into the bewildering
world of junior high from a
small elementary school, DON
ny experienced no difficulties
when he entered Eastern ear
lier this month. Before the Of
ficial opening. he spent several
days at the school learning
how to navigate the long corri-
dors from one class to the next.
He learned his lesson so tho
roughly that he now can find
his way to any given poin t
simply by running his fingers
along the walls in quest of
familiar landmarks.
Forget He is Blind
After three weeks in school,
Donny's directional finders are
performing well. He locates a
display case in a main hall, re-
cognizes it Immediately and
takes off at a brisk gait. Walls

into the makeup and opera
ton of the Maryland Savings
and Loan Depositors' Commit
tee, whose office is in an office
building in Rockville.
Judge Shook called for the
investigation when she took
under advisement the testi-
mony on motion involving
the receivership case of the
Maryland District Savings &
Loan Co.
Judge Can't Get All Details
Judge Shook failed to get all
the details she wanted from
the committees treasurer and
chief spokesman, Mrs. Carol
Shenk, also a depositor in
Maryland District. The hear
ing was on Mrs. Shenk's mo-
ton to intervene in the Mary
land District receivership case.
The motion is being chal-
lenged by the receivers two
attorneys, Miss Kathryn E.
DiggS and Harper Smith. They
want to know exactly who is fl
nancing the committees work.
Mrs. Shenk, a modelling in
structor and mother of two,
said that although she de-
posted $4,000 to her commit
tees account in May, she could
not recall whether it was in
one or two checks, who wrote
the checks or whether the
money came in the mail or was
handed to her personally by
the donor.
The committee accepts con-
tributions but makes no list of
donors, Mrs. Shenk testified.

State toCheck
Pupil Figures
Attendance Puddinq
Found in Virginia
BY a Star Staff Writer

by q SJar StalI writer
RICHMOND, Sept. 28-The
State Board of Education has
approved a firmer policy on
school records in all localities
as a result of the padding of
figures in Scott County, which
obtained hundreds of thou
sands of dollars to which it was
not entitled.
At the same time, the board
yesterday put off until its Oc-
tober meeting, adoption of a
new series of regulations de-
signed to put its new policy
into effect.
Prohibited would be the des-
truction of teachers registers
containing pupil attendance
figures. which are used as a
factor by the State in distri-
buting funds to the localities.
J. G. Blount, finance director
of the Department of Educa-
ton, told the board that exam
liners ultim tely will check
school attendance r cords in
every county and city in Vir-
ginia.
$460,O0O Involved
Scott County received more
than $3.50, 900 to which it was
not entitled after examiners
found that average daily at
ter dance" records had been
padded by both teachers and
county school administration
officials.
The State board placed the
blame for the scandal on two
county officials but suspended
imposition of penalties after
they left Scott County and
transferred elsewhere.
In its policy statement, the
board defined a teaching day
as one ION which the school is
in regular session for the in
struction of pupils" 1t further
provides that a pupil shall be
counted present "only when he
is present for roll call or in at
tendance for approved parti-
cipation at approved S hi oil
sponsored field trips or events" ."
Discussion of the proposed
regulations centere d around
one item which, unless revised
next month, would say that
every high school shall main
tain an accurate and complete
cumulative record, including
attendance for every child en-
rolled in the school,"
New Studies Approved
In another action, the board
approved four additional pilot
studies in addition 20 eight au-
thorized by the department last
week. They are financed under
a 100000 program, with the
State matching the locality on
a $3.50 basis.
Board approval of the four
studies was needed cause
they involve use of some teach
ing materials. such as equip
ment and books, which Is not
on the approved list. One OF
the four is for the city of Alex
andria and the research project
was described as:
"A comparison of the effec-
tiveness of audio-lingual ma
terial with traditional textbook
material in the tie &C hing g oi

department last week included

Senate Hearing

ate District Appropriations
Subcommittee hearing.
The acting director, Donald
G. Brewer, said he was giving
first priority" to the re-
shuffling plan.
Mr.. Brewer gave his testi-
mony before Senator Robert C.
Byrd, Democrat of West Virgil
mia, chairman of the Subcom-
mittee, during a hearing on the
welfare budget.
3 Deputies Planned
The welfare director ex-
planned that the proposal calls
for three Welfare Department
deputy directors instead of one.
The plan, approved in princi-
pie earlier this year by the Dis
trict Commissioners, would
have deputy directors for insti-
tutions, agency services and
controller functions.
The present department con-
troller, Alvin R. Rosin, would
be elevated to a deputy's posi-
ton and would be given a
planning and coordination
staff.
Another deputy director
would be appointed to oversee
all of the city's nine Welfare
Department institutions. The
third deputy director would be
responsible for supervising
public assistance and other
service programs.
Holds Post Alone
Mr.. Brewer, currently acting
as director of the department,
is the departments only deputy
director at present.
Senator Byrd asked Mr..
Brewer who would be named as
deputy director of institutions
and Mr.. Brewer said he would
prefer not to make such a
statement publicly. The Sena-
tor did not press the matter.
Gerard M. Shea. former well
fare director who stepped down
last February, now holds the
post of director of D. c. We'll
fare Institutions. This includes
only institutions in the District.
Miss Winifred G.. Thompson is

Would Explore Alternative
The Senator did question
W h e the the reorganization
would make the department
top-heavy. operating with too
many chiefs and not enough
Indians"
Mr.. Brewer contended that it
would not. He noted that the
District Welfare Department
has more functions than SINH
lar departments in most States.
Another plan, under which
the city itself would deliver
surplus food to all recipients,
was outlin e d earlier in the
days hearing.
Mr.. Brewer asked the COM
mittee's permission to explore
this alternate plan and put it
into effect if it would not cost
more than the present pro-
gram.

ment collections and investiga-
tions officer, reported to the
subcommittee on reSurve

cases found ineligible In a spe-
cial investigation in November,

Calvin said most of the fami-
lies have economic resources,

able to pay their rent.

tionS change. Mr.. Calvin said
