BY DOROTHY KLGALLEN

By UOhOTh4 AALJALLEN
NEW YORK, March . G.N.s).
Unable to handle her husband
vino even pawned her jewelry to
finance his drinking, Mrs. Patricia
Ryan told q jury today that she
moved into the home Of her pa
rents In the hope that their pres
encO would curb his drunken
advances.
The 2O-year-old widow. mother
Of two children, is charged with
the staying Of Patrolman Michael
Ryan last October in the couples
Bronx home.
WEDDING RING PAWNED
Approaching the climax Of her
eordid story. Mrs. Ryan told OF
how her husband wrenched her
engagement ring from her finger
and pawned it and her wedding
ring and even the gold medal she
won In grammar school so that
he could get drunk.

tainted during the testimony.
Mrs. Ryan burst into tears, ana
o recess was called.
sHAMED BY QUESTION
Under questioning Of Attorney
H. Bennett Solomon, Mrs. Ryan
said she and Michael moved from
their apartment to the home OF
her parents but hung her head
when asked what prompted the
moving.
''What did Michael do when
he was drunk?" Solomon asked.
No answer.
Q.-Well, did you move in
the hope it would change
Michael's actions?
Ayes, I figured if I moved
in with my people it would
change his actions because he
would realize there were other
people in the house. I thought
that would curb his desires.
But she was wrong, the defense
contends and, unable to fight off
his advances, she shot him three
times in the bedroom Of their
home.

BUDGET RATIO
CALLED AIR

Because of large areas of non
taxable Federal property in Wash
ington, Rufus S. Lusk, president
of the Washington Taxpayers
Association, believes the National
Government should contribute IS
per cent of the Districts nearly
so million dollar annual budget.
Speaking in the first of a series
of lectures on local matters at the
Central Y. M. c. A., Mr.. Lusk
pointed out also that the Police
Court Building, nearly completed,
will be 88 per cent paid for by
local taxpayers.
Since the structure is part OF
the Federal program for enhanc-
ing the city's architectural beauty
he declared the U. S. Government
should pay larger share OF its
cost.
