NAVY Worker Bucks Traffic,
Then Everything Happens

When Florian LTis Frillman, A.
year-old Navy Yard metal worker,
started to walk across the intersec-
ton of Eighth and M streets Sc.
yesterday, he didn't realize that
within the next 18 hours he would:
l. Spend the night in Jail.
2. Be suspected as 4 spy.
3. Puzzle Traffic Court magis-
trate.
Mr.. Frillman, who lives at llO8
Forty fourth street Sc, was ar
rested by Policeman j. E. O'Neal of
the fifth precinct for crossing against
motor vehicle traffic.
The victim didn't like the manner
in which he had been arrested, so he
spent the night at No. S rather than
deposit 81 collateral
During the night officers at the
station took note of some drawings
in Mr. Frillman's possession (Mr.
Frillman is naval architecture stu
dent at George Washington Univer-
sity as well as Navy Yard worker) +,
decided they might have spy in
their midst and called Navy Yard
officers to look over the drawings, ac-
cording to the defendant
The final chapter of the story took
place in TRAFFIC Court today before
Judge John P. Mcmahon, who was
asked to decide whether q policeman

Selection of a successor to the

District Court. will be delayed until
about the first of the year. unless
the condition of the docket demands
action earlier-a turn that is not
expected-it was said at the De-
partment of Justice today.
With the prospective appointment
the subject of recurrent specula-
ton, it was learned that Attorney
General Murphy sees no reason to
depart from his originally-an-
nounced intention Of letting the
vacancy go over until Congress
comes back, and that no decision
has been reached as to whore the
choice will lie.
The Attorney General recently
told his press conference that
score or more of names had been
presented for the position, and were
being given consideration. This
list includes United States Attor-
ney David A. Pine, who is being
solidly supported locally: Repre-
SENTATIVE MdTVlu JOllcS, DcIIlOCI dI,
of Texas, chairman of the House
Agriculture Committee: Judge
Floyd H. Roberts of Bristol. Va;
who the Senate several months ago
refused to confirm for a federal
judgeship because of the opposition
of Senators Glass and Byrd, of Vir-
ginia, and at least two members OF
the Attorney Generals personal
staff-Edward G. Kemp, the assist
ant to the Attorney General, and
Matthew H. Mcclure, special assist
ant Some friends believe that Mr..
Jones could have the place If he
would accept, but there have been
no open indications thus far that
one candidate is favored over the
other.
At one time it was thought that
several names would be sent by At
torney General Murphy to the
White House, where final approval
must come, but it is understood
now that the wedding will be
done at the department, and the
name that finally goes over will be
that Of the nominee.

could Justly come under the heading
of signal device"
Mr.. Frillman told the court the
policeman stopped him as he was
crossing the street and asked me
where was my badge and drivers
permit"
II told him You talk like fool.
I don't need a drivers permit to
cross the street."
The defendant was charged with
failure to observe traffic device !"
Apparently somewhat puzzled by the
charge, Judge Mcmahon had As
sistant Corporation Counsel John
O'Dea read the definition of traffic
device from the traffic regulations.
The definition was: ANY sema-
phore, marking sign. stanchion,
whistle, bell or other traffic signal
erected for the purpose of directing,
warning or regulating traffic."
Mr.. O'Dea commented on the
word erected and expressed the
view that a traffic policeman's signal
is equivalent to any erected signal.
Furthermore, he explained, he never
saw a whistle which had been
erected.
Still puzzled, Judge Mcmahon
suspended imposition of sentence in
the case and asserted he had no
comment to make on Mr.. Frillman' S
statement that he had been sus-
pected to be a spy.

color and somewhat larger than
those laid by the Cecropia moth,
also found nearby. Several days
after the eggs are laid, and you
may find them on pine, maple, syca-
more, elm, oak, wild cherry, hem
lock or other twigs. they show a
red line. Then, shortly after, all the
eggs turn dark and the little ras-
Gals within are ready to gnaw their
way into the world. All within IL
days!
They are u inch long, a yellow
ish-brown in color, with tiny dots
where tubercles are. Within a few
minutes after birth, the wee crea-
ture has grown considerably, and
his tubercles, much branched, are
easily seen. When these important
parts of his anatomy are fully
formed, the youngster turns about
and consumes the remainder Of the
empty egg shell from which he has
so lately emerged.
For hours, the restless caterpillars
weave in and out among themselves.
They spin fine silken threads, and
get all tangled up, and are peeved
about it. Then they seem to realize,
en- masse, it is time for food. How
they go after tender leaves. You
are amazed that such small crea-
lures can hold so much. When their

skin becomes too tight, each fellow
will seek the privacy of the under
side of tWig. The body Is lifted
and curved backward so far that
you wonder how it keeps from tum-
bling over. After a new and more
roomy skin has been acquired
through the casting off of the old
one, eating Is resumed.
You will enjoy watching these
moths feast. They hold fast to a
stem with their prolegs and reach
by stretching forth the body until
their jaws catch hold of a leaf.
BY October the caterpillar has
reached maturity and is seeking Sc
clusion in the ground below the
frostline until next summer. Before
it is time for them to emerge-that
is, before their food is ready-dig
under the trees or shrubs they have
been on and you will find the pupa
cases with the caudal and side hooks
on the outside which will enable the
awakened moth to push Its way up
ward to the surface Stepping from
its snug case as daintily as a maiden
from her airplane, the beautiful
moth emerges from its pupal case
and leaves it lying there.

from tip to tip of forewings. The
