Minister son
IS CONVICTED
d Gle Wes

Reginald Stewart, 81. the prodigal
son Of a New England pastor, was
found guilty of passing bad checks
on two Washington women today
when tried before Judge Gus A.
Schuldt in Police Court.
He was put on probation and
sent home. where he promised he
would continue studying civil engin-
eering and let check manipulating
alone.
District Attorney Ralph Given re-
commended that the youth be put
on probation because a New York
court also had seen fit to parole
Stewart and the local offense was
committed previous to that time.
The youth. when arrested last
week, blamed his downfall on wild
women, jazz and liquor.
He showed heartfelt contritdon
for his deed when heard this morn
ing and, upon learning his lot. he
thanked the court for it's leniency.
His father, Rev. Charles Stewart.
Episcopalian minister, has his
church in New London, Conn.

Dignified Lawmakers
on Job Sailing Toy
Boats in Tank

The House Committee on
Naval affairs today took to sail
ing toy boats in big glass
tank in the caucus room of the
House Office Building.
The new pastime was the re-
suit of a demonstration Of what
is claimed to be a non-sinkable
ship. The demonstration was
conducted by the inventor, Adam
TIL. Drekolias. Lantern slides
showing details of the invention
also were exhibited.
The explanation by the inven-
tor of the principles of his
invention were too complicated
for many members Of the COM
mittee and lay observers to
grasp. Naval officers saw the
test and examined the model
and drawings.
