MOTHER HASLOST
 CHILD'S CUSTODY

Bridgeport Conn.,, March l7 = (UP)-Mrs. Alice M. Surgoft. Phila- delphia, was denied the custody of her 7-year-old son, John, today because Superior Court Judge John A. Cornell believed 1t would be a gamble" to deprive him of the en- vlronment he has been accustomed to since birth.
 The boy was awarded to Mrs. Dortn Conover, Stratford, in whose charge he was placed by Mrs. Sur goft nearly 2 years ago. The mother claimed he was born while she was estranged from her husband, a Navy Yard worker, and that the latter was unaware of his existence until recently.
 Although Surgoft promised to provide for the child, the court doubted whether the change would be for the better and pointed out the possibility Of a resentment against the child in later years.

majority.
 Few Endorsements
 The legal questions involved in sitdowns remain unsolved, almost untouched. No one claims that sit- down strikers have legal right to remain unworking in the employers plants. Moral right, practical right, there is an argument there, but le- gal right, no.
 Yet the law has been literally en- forced against only a small minor ity of sitdowners. The Fansteel strike in Groton, Conn, the Doug las Aircraft strike at Santa Monica, Calf, are among the few where sitdow1iers were driven violently or by a show of force from their posts.
 Every thoughtful person is con- cerned with this clash between the traditional laws of property and the de facto procedure of the sitdown strike. No important suggestions for reconciling the two have been forthcoming.
 A Michigan legislator has offered a bill making 1t a felony for either party to labor dispute to attempt negotiations while in possession of the property of the other.
 State governors like Cross of Con- necticut, Hoffman of New Jersey, and Quinn of Rhode Island have announced uncompromising adher- ence to the legal code of today.
 The conflict between the human rights" of sitdown strikers and the property rights of employers is go- ing to be a knotty one for lawyers to chew on for some time.

ADMIRAL ROBSON
 DIED YESTERDAY

New York, Mar. 17--(UP)-High naval honors were planned today for the funeral Thursday in Arlington cemetery of Rear-Admiral Richmond Pearson Hobson, Spanish American war hero, who died at his home here. Hobson gained fame at San- tiago. Cuba, where he and fellow officers attempted to bottle up the Spanish fleet. Efforts to sink a collier at the entrance to the nar- row harbor nniscarried.

 After resigning from the navy in 1903 Hobson served in congress as representative from his native AL abama. He was an ardent prohibi- ton leader and campaigner for a better navy.

Stumps Many
In Maryland

BETHESDA, Md, Sept. 2.-After
all these years the State of Mary
land has decided that the holder
of a driving permit should know
how to park his car
And SO, behold the new gadget
the motor vehicle departments ex-
aminers are earting around with
them:
The thing looks very much like
"a plumbers nightmare, with lot
of elbow joints. Set up along a
curb, the gadget marks off park
ing area little longer than the
average automobile.
The trick of the examiner is to
tell the applicant for license to
park his car within the bounds Of
the iron frame.
1t sounds easy, but 20 applicants
missed the target in one day, and
failed to get a drivers license.

This Fisherman
TOsSeS Back His
Aged" Catches

CINCINNATI, Sept. ITO Charles
F.. Williams there are fish and other
fish
So when he goes fishing in Flor
ida, he surprises his friends by
carefully examining his catch and
throwing back a large percentage OF
those he catches.
1t seems That Williams, president
of the Western and Southern Life
Insurance Co, has theory about
fish.
Most folks just insist that a fish
be fresh, he explains. but a fresh
fish may not necessarily be tender.
That all depends on its age, just
as young chicken is far more ten
der than an old hen.
An old fish, says Williams, is not
palatable even though it has just
been caught any more than an old
chicken is tender just because it
has just been killed.
So when Williams catches a mess
of fish, he selects the young and
tender ones and throws the others
back. How he selects them his
friends don't know, and he won't
tell, but they insist that there must
be a secret. Williams fish dinners
are epicurean ecstacies.

Eskin1os Fight for
Fun and Freeze
From Choice

NEW YORK, Sept. 2. - Bound
from the frozen tundra of Alaska
to the steaming jungles of equator
lial Africa, DIR. Hans Himmelheber,
twenty nine-year-ol anthropologist
was enroute today on an expedition
TO compare two or the worlds most
primitive peoples Eskimos and Ne
gro natives.
Most of our Arctic exxplorers
have known only the Eskimos and
had no other primitive people to
compare them with. They have all
been struck by the extraordinary
fact that the Eskimos make a liv-
ing under such unfavorable condi-
tons" he said.
THAT, of course, is admirable,
but it is about all the Eskimos do.
Beyond the work necessary to main
tain life, their culture is very poor.
primitive Africans" he said, ARE
far more creative. They have form
ed big state organizations, while
the Eskimos' largest social unit is
the village.
when Africans go to war, it is to
establish trading lines. The Eskimo
however, goes fighting for the mere
fun Of it, not even taking anything
from the conquered enemy"
When confronted with a problem,
DR.. Himmelheber said, the Eskimo
is slow and uninventive.
Another incredible thing = they
still haven't invented way of
heating their little igloos. When
an Eskimo lights a fire, that's when
it gets really cold in his home. He
has to open the door and in comes
the icy wind. Yet nothing would
be easier than to build a little stove
lof stones with a walrus-leather
chimney. They haven't thought up
that one yet"
