The action of the National Capital Park and Planning Commission in making an investigation of recrea- tional facilities here and the possbility of unifying control of such was in- dorsed by the Burroughs Citizens' Association last night at its meeting in the Burroughs School, Eighteenth and Monroe streets northeast. ‘The resolution of indorsement was adopted after PFrank T. Gartside, assistant superintendent of National Capital Parks, explained the proposed reorganization of the recreational fa- cilities and outlined the four plans submitted by L. H. Weir of the National Recreation Association for study. The Parks and Athletic Committee of the association was instructed to study this report. It contains four plans drawn up by Weir for control | of the facilities here, one of which is| to be chosen by the citizens of the city for adoption. Four Plans Outlined. They are: First, a Recreation Com- mittee to be appointed by the District Commissioners; secondly, a committee to be appointed by the President of the United States; third, formation of a recreational department to be under control ef the District Commissioners, and last, formation of a recreation department, to be controlled by one official, who will be paid equally from | funds of the National Capital Parks organization and the Board of Educa- tion Adoption of the latter plan was the concensus of the association, though no definite action was taken In response to a question, Mr. Gart- side said a more efficient controlling | head could probably be secured from ! outside sources. This, he said, because | to handle the situation successfully | a national figure would be better fitted | for the position. ! Oppose Parking Ban. Opposition to an all-night parking | ban for the District was expressed in | a resolution adopted. It also reaf- | firmed the association’s former stand | that there was no reason for any | further traffic restrictions in Burroughs community. H Another resolution adopted indorsed | the formation of a Boys' Club for the | Burroughs section. | There is no crime in the Burroughs | area and therefore nothing could be | accomplished by the formation of a, Vigilance Committee there, it was de- clared in a report submitted by Paul Jamieson, and approved by the asso- ciation. The crime report also asserted the “numbers” racket had not invaded that territory. Wilbur S. Finch, secretary of the association, declared the police were responsible for protection of lives and property, and it was not a matter to be taken into the hands of private citizens. The association voted to take no stand on the proposal to change con- trol of the present library system until it had further investigated the matter. The Executive Committee was to study this and report later David Babp, president of associa- tion, presided. PLAYGROUND URGED IN MGUNT PLEASANT Boys’ Club Also Asked to Reduce Increasing Juvenile De- the | linquency. Establishment of playground and boys’ club faciities in the Mount Pleasant area would be the most ef- fective means of cutting down the amount of juvenile delinquency in | that section, it was agreed at| a conference Thursday night at the Mount Pleasant Congregational Church. Lewis Holmes, athletic director of the Powell Junior High School, was the principal speaker, the meeting being in charge of Rev. Russell J. Clinchy, pastor of the church. About 150 attended. With a population of about 60,000, the Mount Pleasant area hasn't a single playground or boys' club, Mr. Holmes told the gathering. This cir- cumstance, he said, has been an im- portant contributing factor in a marked increase in juvenile delin- quency in that section. Availability of recreational facilities would allow boys to spend their spare time in more healthful pursuits than those which transgress the law, he said.| It was decided that a group of clvic leaders of that section should meet soon o plan a community mass meeting. At that time, gen- eral support of the movement to establish a boys’ club would be sought and purchase of land for a play- ground site would be considered.

In Capital Letters Secret Service Men to Bar Gate Crashers at Mrs. Roosevelt’s Masquerade for *“Ladies of the Press” Tonight. BY GENEVIEVE FORBES HERRICK. HERE always are a lot of queer looking people at a White House reception But tonight will break the record; tonight, when Queen Mary borrows a fan from Sally Rand and Martha Washington dances the minuet with the Blue Eagle (on a crutch). and 500 other fantastic char- acters frolic in the east room at the masquerade which Mrs. Roosevelt is giving “for women only.

These three factors will be the basis of the voting: Originality of 1dea, clevernes of costume and ac- cessories carrying out the idea, and the skill with which the per- son acts out the character she is representing.

Two of the leading legal lights of the administration lined up yesterday with the San Prancisco Call-Bulletin, a Hearst paper, in its fight against the administration’s National Labor Re= lations Board. Donald R. Richberg, executive di- rector of the National Emergency Council, and Blackwell Smith, counsel of the National Recovery Administra- tion, argued that the board should never have considered a complaint by Dean S. Jennings, Call-Bulletin re- write man, that he was discharged be- cause of his activities as a member of the American Newspaper Guild. Both Richberg and Smith filed lenghty briefs with the board yester- day after the board agreed to sus- | pend its decision which held it could | take jurisdiction in the case and ordered the Call-Bulletin to reinstate Jennings.

UPHELD BY OFFICER trict Court Worker Says in Report. Amos A.

Ob- | viously no system of law can be per- | fect in dealing with violators of the law, but probation, more than any other criminal law process, tends to diminish the number of recidivists. “The courts are constantly called | upon to deal with these thousands of | first offenders and also with offenders | who have records for misdemeanors of various types. It is so much easier to | send them all to prison than it is to | take the time, the pains and the | patience to investigate each case and to deal with them as human beings, having in mind always the larger view ’mu by saving them in the first in- stance they may never return to the | courts.” | " During the fiscal vear 1934. he said | probation was granted in criminal cases and in 13 non-support cases Probation was revoked in 42 cases The ages of those on parole aver- aged 253 years, while they ranged from 16 years, the youngest. to 68. the eldest.
