Judge Miller now has two
options: He may send them 20
some institution such as the
Laurel Children's Center or the

a term lasting at the longest
until their 2lst birthday, or he
may place them on probation.
Judge Miller told the two
solemn-faced youngsters:

The boys were held for Ju-
venile Court action after the

The
Rambler
-. TungIes
With Science
By JOHN McKELWAY

1t is difficult for The
Rambler to discuss the fol-
lowing subject inasmuch as
he is singularly vague about
the workings OF a telephone,
television, radio, flashlight,
automobile horn, light bulb,
radar, refrigerator and/or
air conditioner.
But there is a chance, re-
gardless of who might at
tempt 1t, Of at least suggest
ing it might be time to bring
q little perspective into some
Of the wild things the scien-
lists are up to now.
There has been quite a lot
of publicity lately about the
development of something
that seems close to the ray
gun employed by Buck
Rogers.
AS far as The Rambler
understands 1t, California
scientists have been able to
shoot an intense beam Of
light through a piece of steel
and even bust a balloon
rugged up behind the initial
target.
This beam is known as a
"laser" light-a word that
comes out of Light Amplifi-
cation by Stimulated Ennis
sion of Radiation"
Balloon busting is said to
be the least of laser's
achievements.
Just the other day, for ex-
ample, the beam--it's about
the size Of a pencil-was
shot into space for millions
of miles and then succeeded
in transmitting a television
picture, it was said, for the
same distance.
(The Rambler does not
understand how anybody
knows the picture travelled
that far. Who In the world,
or out of it, was there to see
1t arrive?)

District Veterans Office
Eliminates Three Jobs

The elimination Of three jobs
in the District Department of
Veterans Affairs was disclosed
today in a letter sent by En-
gineer Commissioner Frederick
]. Clarke to the General Ac-
counting Office.
The GAO had written a let
ter to Brig. Gen. Clarke last De-
cember questioning whether al
employees Of the department
were needed.
The GAO wondered also II
some Of the services performed
by the department could not
be handled by the Federal Vet
Grams Administration.
Gen. Clarke said in his letter
that two Of the Departments
is employees have already been
transferred to fill vacancies in
other departments. The third
job will be eliminated effective
April is by a retirement.
Study Followed Letter
Gen. Clarke said that the Com
missioners had decided to elm
mate three jobs in the depart
ment as the result of a District
management study ordered
after the GAO letter was re-
ceived.
The three positions involved
are a janitor and photostat

A year ago. the Commits

The District Public Utilities
Commission has declined to
join D. C. Transit System, Inc,
in appealing the upset Of its
1860 fare increase order to the
United States Supreme Court,
it was learned today.
The abandonment Of the
fight in the 1860 case may be
a clue that the PUG. will
not resist clearing away a 1861
order standing in the way Of a
fare cut. The company, how
ever. will undoubtedly fight
such q move.
Both the PUG. and the
company defended the 1860 in
crease from 20 to rs cents in
the cash fare before the United
States Court Of Appeals. The
Appeals Court. which had been
petitioned by two lawyers rep
resenting themselves as transit
riders, threw out the 1860 order
and said that excess fares COL
lected between March 6. 1860
and January 10, 1861 must be
put into a fund to benefit
future transit riders.
Still Charge rs Cents
The company. however, con-
tinues to legally collect a rs
cent cash fare because the
Appeals Court decision did not
