Social Worker's sPay
In Tenant Court
Prompts Debate
Family Welfare Unit
Defers Action on Shift
To Government Funds

The question of whether the
social worker now maintained in
landlord and tenant branch OF
Municipal Court by private well
fare agency should be paid from
Government funds next year
brought forth lively discussion at
a meeting of the family welfare
division of the Council of Social
Agencies yesterday.
The matter finally was deferred
until later date when Letter Mag
nusson, sponsor of resolution
seeking public funds, withdrew his
measure from consideration.
Seton Darr, active with the
Washington Housing Association,
opposed the move on the grounds
that, with the Government as the
employer, the social worker would
not then be "spurred on by the
driving force and enthusiasm of a
private welfare agency"
Judges Study Proposal.
Mr. Magnusson contended that
by the time the Government funds
] would be provided in the next
budget a regular program for the
worker to follow would have been
outlined. However, he withdrew his
motion when Mrs. Helen D. Hof1-
man, executive director of the
Housing Association, said the Mu-
nicipal Court judges planned to
make recommendation after
studying the matter.
The motion was introduced after
Mrs. Florence Conlin, newly as
signed social worker at the court. re-
ported on the progress she was
making in solving problems OF some

10 Defendants Freed
After An-Day Trial
OF Flag Riot Case
Rockville Jury Writes
Finish to Disturbance
Of Jehovoh's Witnesses

The Montgomery County CMd.)
Circuit Court jury closed the case
of the riot at the Jehovah's Wit
nesses meeting lin Rockville, June
10, by acquitting 10 defendants after
an all-day hearing.
After less than 80 minutes de-
liberation the jury returned shortly
before 8 pm. yesterday, after spend-
ing day in hot, crowded court
room. To the query of Court Clerk
Clayton K. Watkins, the jury fore
man, William S. Magruder. repeated
the same verdict as each defend
ants name was read, mot guilty."
Judge Charles w. Woodward, who
presided at the all-day trial with
Judge Stedman Prescott, had warned
the courtroom audience against any
demonstration and the verdict was
received in silence. But before dis
missing the case the defendants
were. given a brief lecture on the
American flag, failure to salute
which led to the wrecking of the
Witnesses hall and breaking up of
their meeting a month ago.
Defendants Are Warned.
The defendants were warned not
to permit their patriotism and love
of the flag to warp their judgment
and destroy the constitutional rights
for which the ensign stands. Judge
Woodward pointed out that the Con-
stitution of the United States guar
antees freedom of religion and that
there is no law requiring any one
to salute the flag.
The Constitution is designed to
protect minorities as well as ma
jorities, he said.
"You are patriotic, but don't for
get that while the Witnesses are
In the minority today, in a few
years they might be in the majority
and then the same Constitution
would protect you," he asserted.
A parade of witnesses for the
State and defense took the stand
to tell perspiring jury and a
crowded courtroom the story of the
riot. Witnesses for the State told
how the mob of between so and 100
entered their Witnesses meeting
place, over grocery store at 222
Montgomery avenue, and, after de-
manding flag salute. which was
denied, broke up the furniture and
forced the congregation down into
the street, ordering two of them to
leave town.
All Deny Guilt.
Each of the defendants took the
stand in his own behalf and denied
having broken up any furniture or
having seen any one who had broken
any. Each, in turn, declared that
the meeting was merely patriotic
demonstration" and that he had
been impelled by curiosity" to
enter the hall to see whether or not
the Witnesses would salute the nag.
Those acquitted were: Jack
Maddox, Norman CBuck) Cornwell,
Goldsboro Burrows, John E. Bar
rett. George Mullican, Joseph
Fisher, James Foster, Benjamin
A. Burroughs. Roscoe Cope and
Raymond Davis.

Fifteen men had left elevator

possible to fill the vacancies with
other men, Mr.. Kelley said, but the
hotel considered this not feasible,
since the new employees probably
would be lured to defense jobs be-
