VERDICT MAY COST
D. C. $50, ,000AYEAR
Court of Appeals voiding Of
Transfer of U. S. Ward to St.
Elizabeth Shifts Burden.

A ruling today by the United States
Court of Appeals that commitment of
Thomas Barry to st. Elizabeth's Hos
pital by the Secretary of the Treasury
was invalid, may cost the District
about 100000 year.
Mr. Barry, seaman in the United
States merchant marine. was placed in
the Merchant Marine Hospital at
Evansville. Ind. September l. 1885,
and later transferred to st. Eliza beth's
on order of Secretary Morgenthau.
A petition for a writ of habeas cor
pus filed in District Court here by Mr..
Barry was dismissed. but the Court of
Appeals held he had been denied due
process of law because there was no
sanity hearing in conformance with
the local procedure. The court Or
dered Mr.. Barry released unless a san
ity hearing Is held Immediately.
Assistant United States Attorney
Allen j. Krouse said there are about
1876 merchant seamen and lighthouse
keepers in St. Eizabeth's at the pres
ent time. having been committed by
order of the Treasury Department.
These may have to be recommitted, he
said, in which case it is probable that
their maintenance-$1s0 per day per
patient-will be charged to the District.
The opinion does not affect the COM
mittment Of members of the Army or
Navy.
Laurence Koenigsberger represented
Mrs. Barry's interest, having been
asked by the court to file q brief as

STORM GIVES Up
CUSTODY OF SON
Acts to Keep Him From
Having to Appear in Court,
Father Says.

Rather than subject his l2-year-old
son to the experience of being brought
into court to testify in a custody pro-
ceeding. Robert E. Storm. 1851 Co.
lumbia road NV, civil engineer,
voluntarily gave up the boy today to
his divorced wife.
Il have given this matter intense
thought" Mr. Storm stated in an af-
fidavit presented to Chief Justice
Alfred A. Wheat. "and I have reached
the conviction that if the boy is re-
quired to come into court and publicly
testify for or against either of his
parents, it will do him irreparable in
jury. and will undo all I have sought
to do by placing him in a military
academy. and it wifi seriouslyy affect
his chances of becoming useful citi-
zen.'
The controversy between Mr.. Storm
and his former wife. Mrs Margaret
Hoffman. 1923 r street NV. over GUS
tody of the son. Fred w. Storm. at
tanned widespread publicity last sum-
mer when Mrs. Hoffman swore out a
warrant charging Mr.. Storm with as
saulting the boy. However. the father
told the court he was merely trying to
exercise proper parental control over
Fred, and Judge John p Mcmahon
dismissed the charge, saying Mr.
Storm did no more than inf1ict per-
missible punishment.
In order 10 place the boy beyond
the effect Of the difficulties between
his parents, Mr.. Storm sent him to
the Fork Union Military Academy
last September, he said. adding it
was at considerable financial sacri-
flee to myself"
At that time there was pending a
petition by Mrs. Hoffman asking the
court to award her custody of the
boy which had been given the father
when he obtained divorce in March.
1896.
When the custody suit first came
up for trial. Walter w. Dosh. attorney
for Mrs. Hoffman, asked Chief JUS
tice Wheat to order the boy brought
into court since his testimony was
necessary Attorney Jean Boardman,
representing Mr. Storm. opposed the
request. Nevertheless, the jurist said
the responsibility for making fair
decision rested on his shoulders and
he felt it his duty to require the pres
ence of the boy.
Lesser of Two Evils"
In relinquish,ng custody of his son,
Mr.. Storm told the court today:
Il seriously believe that it is not to
the best interest of the child that he be
placed in the custody of his mother,
but believe it to be the lesser of two
evils that he be awarded into the
custody Of the defendant (mother) in
stead of being required to testify in
court.
Therefore, if the defendant still in
sists upon proceeding with this cause
and upon the production of the boy in
open court, will, in order to prevent
this and to save the boy this disgrace
full and degrading experience, forego
all my rights, and consent. If the court
approves that permanent custody of
the boy be awarded to the defendant"
Accordingly. Chief Justice Wheat
gave the boy to the mother, but re
served to Mr.. Storm the right to visit
him at reasonable times.

Born in One-ROOm Hut.


Feodor Chaliapin was born in 1873,
IN one-room peasant hut at Kazan
on the Middle Volga. now capital of
one OF the Soviet Russian republics.
He gained fame and fortune only to
be accused by the Soviet press of hav-
ing sold his soul to Mammon.
interviewed in Paris, he once said.
I left Russia without a cent. and
was obliged therefore to sell nv soul
to the devil. Yes. sold it. and it is
not my fault pay no attention
to these accusations. as I have been
bullied by the press on all sorts of
occasions"
As a basso cantante in the role Of
Mephlstopheles he became one OF
operas greatest Satans. It was gen.
orally conceded Chaliapin's voice at
tanned its peak in that role.
In Retirement Since 1885.
He had been in virtual retirement
since an attack of influenza at Paris
IN 1885. His last concert tour in the
United States was in 1882. Al that
time he said he would never sing in
Russia again, but expressed the wish
10 be buried in his homeland when
he died.
Il am a man who must be free"
ne said. Il do not object to the
Soviet idea. In my way of doing
things 1 refuse to be prevented from
doing things that are important to
me. In Russia I would make a move
and some one would stop me; another
move, another restraining hand. I
cannot work in this way"
Mr.. Chaliapin was twice married
In his biography Pages From NV
Life" he described his wedding to an
Italian ballet dancer. Julia Tornaghi
in 1898. in Russia.
After the wedding We organized
comical Turkish Festivity,'" he wrote,
Sat on carpets on the floor and
fooled like little children. There was
nothing there that is consecrated by
marriage traditions-no richly dec
GRATED dinner table, with all sorts of
speeches. But there was a plenty of
meadow flowers and of wine. -"
The dancer bore him eight children
and was divorced in Moscow in 1927
in proceedings brought by the singer
through the Soviet Consul in Paris.
His second marriage was to the former
Nine. Maria Petzhold, daughter of =

BY JOHN c. HENRY.

John l.. Lewis, chairman of the
Committee for Industrial Organiza-
ton. today called upon the Federal
Government to take positive leadership
in creating purchasing power and jobs
for the unemployed
Addressing leaders of 80 c. I. o.
unions. assembled for the first time
IN several months. Mr.. Lewis warned
that "wishful thinking needs to be
replaced by well-planned action"
Jobs in private industry cannot
be created merely by sitting and wish
ing there would be jobs. Such Jobs
can be created under the leadership
OF the Federal Government. if it will
start the creation of purchasing power
Hand-to-mouth measures are not
enough. A Well-planned. longtime
program needs to be envisioned. The
c. /. o. and the unemployed do not
want leaf raking jobs. They want
houses, slum clearance. schools, hos
pitais. flood control, education and
sound recreation"
FhstINlk1CS tpnCIO,
Mr.. Lewis also reaffirmed the
political determinations of the c. l. O.,
pointing out that "labors voice is
now heard with respect :. Its eco
nomic activity alone is not enough.
Political activity is natural ad-
junct."
As the two-day conference got under
way. a categorical denial was made
by David Dubinsky. president of the
International Ladies Garment Work.
ers. that his union had decided to
withdraw from the c. l. o. Such
action. he said. would require great
deliberation by the Executive Board
OF his union, and would depend on
subsequent developments in c. l. O.
policy
Mr.. Lewis took occasion. in address,
ing the conference, to point out an
increase of seven affiliated unions
since last fall bringing the total ma
tional and international af1iliates up
to 80. The additions to our ranks. >
he said, reflect rapid organizing
progress in the packing house. furni-
ture, quarry. utilities and maritime
industries"
Further. he said. the c. l. o. has
been an effective force In checking
a movement for wholesale wage re-
ductions. citing in substantiation con-
tracts recently effected with the Gen.
eral Electric Co. Postal Telegraph and
others.
Scornful Reference to A. F. l..
The c. l. o. chieftain made one
scornful reference to the rival Ameri-
can Federation of Labor in the charge
that they have too frequently" neg
lected the. interests of their unem-
ployed members.
BY contrast" he said. the c. l. o.
unions have set up unemployment
committees in their locals and dis
tricts. which have fought for ade-
quate relief for the unemployed. and
to win jobs for them on public prof.
ectS.
The c. I. o. has taken the posi-
tion,' he concluded, that it is the
duty Of the Government to provide
useful work and decent wages to
every unemployed person who is able
and willing to work. The failure of
private industry is distressingly and
glaringly apparent in the present un.
employment of $4,000, 900 Americans
The Government must step in and
provide the employment which private
industry has failed to provide"
