Student Governments
Teach Democracy,
Friends Schools Told
American University
Graduate School Dean
Addresses Conference

Student governments can be Of
tremendous importance in teaching
youth how to prepare for life in .
democracy, DR.. Ernest 8. Grifnth.
dean of the American University
Graduate School, yesterday told the
first student government conference
of Friends schools.
Speaking on Democracy in School
LIE" Dean Griflth said the best
method Of teaching democracy to
students Is through actual participa-
ton in such organizations as student
governments.
Here the student can learn the
characteristics Of this form of gov
ernment-tolerance, a sense Of re-
sponsibility, respect for the points
Of view Of others and the art Of give
and take" he said. "A students
role In student government is not
very different from the role of a
citizen In a democracy"
DR.. Grifnth spoke before students
and faculty advisers representing IS
Friends schools at the conference,
Evening star., 1940-02-18

for his work in bringing about the
restoration of Virginia's Colonial
capital.
Delegate Massenburg presented a
plea asking the Assembly revive and
provide for continuance of the Syms-
Eaton Free School in Hampton.
Mr.. Massenburg said the school
was established as the first public
free school in America and was
provided for in the will of Benjamin
Syms, dated February IL, 1884.
Speaker Dovell referred the plea
to the Committee on Privileges and
Elections, of which Mr.. Massenburg
is chairman.
During the joint session, Senator
Henry T. Wickham, who presided
over the Senate as President pro
tenn, extended greetings over the
radio to 1t. Gov. Saxon w. Holt,
who is i'll in a Richmond hospital.
Touches on Present.
Lord Lothian, deviating near the
close of his address from the his
torical to the present, said today an
anarchy of sovereign states cannot
escape chronic war or preserve in
dividual liberty or create the con-
ditions of prosperity and employ
ment within their own boundaries
unless, in some way, they can bring
themselves within the reign Of law.
Fundamentally" he added, "the
troubles of the world are not SO
much due to the wickedness of rulers
as to defects in the systems of gov
ernment under which we live.
That was true in 1776. 1t is even
more obviously true today. The only
real remedy for our present troubles
is constitutional remedy, remote
as that may seem to be and almost
impossible of achievement.
Nobody" he said, would have
seen this more clearly than your
great predecessors if they sat today
in this hall, for 1t was about gov
ernment and forms Of government
that they thought so deeply and
wrought so nightly.
Lord Lothian said he felt no hesi-
tation in going to Yorktown to see
the scene where Lord CORVALLIS
surrendered to Washington, since
he could not emulate young
CORVALLIS, who when he visited this
country and was asked by reporters
If he was descendent of his ia
nous namesake, replied with COM

the conference an annual affair.
DR.. Grifnth told the delegates that
one Of the most difncult problems of
democracy today is to make decisions
IN the light Of the points Of view Of
all persons who have a stake in them.
The virtual disappearance Of the old
town meetings, he said, has added
to the problem.
Before and after the joint session,
faculty advisers and student repre-
sentatives held separate sessions to
discuss their respective roles in

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. Feb. IT.
Virginia legislators, meeting today
in the atmosphere of English Co.
lonial times, heard an Englishman
praise George Washington and Lady
Astor for their "conquests Of
Britain"
Lord Lothian, British Ambassa-
dor to the United States, told q

Senate in the restored House Of
Burgesses that Washington was
Zone OF the founders Of the British
commonwealth, since the Revolu-
tionary War showed England that
her empire ''had to rest not only
on loyalty to the crown. but on in
dividual freedom and national self
government as we'll"
Lady Astor, native Of Virginia,
made the second conquest, he said,
by winning her way to Parliament
as the first woman to be elected
to the House Of Commons"
The address by the British Am
bassador climaxed the colorful cere-
monies of the one-day session of the
General Assembly in this restored
capital of Colonial Virginia. AL
though a mixture Of formal dress
and everyday business clothes
had replaced the more colorful cos
tunes of Colonial times, historic
atmosphere was afforded by the
restored building and the pomp and
ceremony Of the occasion.
Price Introduces Ambassador.
Gov. Price, who introduced Lord
Lothian, said the "nobleman who
honors us by his presence today is
perhaps the most representative man
the government of Great Britain has
ever sent to Washington to conserve
its interests and strengthen the
bonds of affection between the
United States and the mother
country across the water"

Release From Prison,
Hitting Conviction
Trial Court Here Held
Locking in Jurisdiction;
'Browbeotins' Charged

~ the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, Feb. 17-Counsel for
John S. Farnsworth, former naval
ofiicer serving 4-to-12-year SEN
tence for selling naval secrets to
Japanese agents, charged today the
conviction was "disgraceful record"
and asked his release on writ Of
habeas corpus.
Attorney John T. Finerty of WASH
ington, appearing with George S.
Hawke of Cincinnati in Farnsworth's
behalf, told Federal Judge E. Mar
win Underwood the one-time lieuten-
ant commander had not had proper
counsel, had been 'browbeaten" by
Trial Judge James w. Proctor and
had been convicted in a court which
lacked Jurisdiction.
Judge Underwood continued the
case, allowing 20 days for filing Of
briefs.
Mr.. Finerty disclaimed any desire
to "impugn the motives of either
Judge Proctor or Mr.. Farnsworth's
attorneys" explaining the actions
constituted legal errors.
Farnsworth earlier testified he dis
missed his attorneys after pleading
nolo contendre. seeking in his own
behalf to withdraw the plea and
file instead a motion for arrested
judgment. At the time he said,
he retained another attorney to press
the new motion. The latter almost
Immediately withdrew from the case
Judge Proctoc subsequently denied
Farnsworth's withdrawal petition
and sentenced him to Atlanta Peni-
tentiary.
Mr.. Finerty told the court the en-
tire proceedings in the District of
Columia Court were void" because
the court lacked jurisdiction. He
insisted the two Japanese agents al
legedly involved in the case were
registered members of the Japanese
Legation and held the legal status of
ambassadors" and hence the case
should have been tried in the SUI
preme Court of the United States,
which has original and exclusive
jurisdiction of matters affecting am
bassadors."
Farnsworth, who testified earlier
he had been dismissed from the
Navy in 1927 on charges of "scan-
dalous conduct" said he was una
ware of his rights and pleaded nolo
contendere without realizing it was
the same as pleading guilty" Farms
worth also testified he had been a
heavy drinker since 1925 and assert

consumed ''at least quarts of whis-

Riboflavin Is Found
To Benefit One
Form Of Blindness
.Vitumin B Fraction
Clears Up Several
Georgia Cases
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated fresS.
One form of blindness can be
treated effectively with a vitamin B
extract, the Public Health Service
reports.
DR.. v. P. Sydenstricker and DR.. H.
M. Cleckley of the University of
Georgia Medical School, DR.. w. H.
Sebrel Of the Public Health Service
and H. D. Kruse of the Milbank Me-
mortal Fund found that keratitis or
blindness due to the formation of
small blood vessels in the cornea of
the eye responded quickly to the ad-
ministration of ribof1ayin, one of the
fractions of the vitamin B complex.
At the University OF Georgia clinic,
nine persons were found suffering
from eye trouble which resulted
from diets deficient in the vitamin.
All of them had itching, burning
eyes and a sensation of roughness
of the eyelids. They could not keep
their eyes open in strong light and
were blind in poor light.
In addition, the investigators re-
ported, all of the patients had badly
inflamed tongues and lips and skin
eruptions about the mouth and face.
The Georgia physicians fed their
patients on various diets to deter
mine the specific chemical which
would clear up the blindness and
other symptoms Nicotine acid and
vitamin B-1, other fractions of the
original vitamin, failed to produce
results and vitamin A and cod liver
oil likewise proved ineffective.
However, when riboflavin was ad-
ministered, even in small amounts,
the symptoms began to disappear.
The symptoms returned when the.
chemical was withdrawn, but when
it was restored and maintained the
patients went on to full recovery.
