CHICAGO, March 30.-Engineer
Rudolph Adamick told police that
his first reaction during an inspec-
ton of the Peabody School yester-
day was that a small tornado had
struck the three-story building.
But Police Sergt. Ralph Miller
said three 14-year old boys, held in
the Juvenile Home, had admitted
causing the damage because they
disliked school and held grudges
against teachers.
Mr.. Adamick told police that on
his inspection of the building he
discovered:
There were rs windows broken,
20 clocks smashed, books and papers
scattered throughout the 18 class
rooms and two Offices, desks over
turned, exit light ripped out.
In the print shop, six cases of
type were upset and walls smeared
with ink; in the woodworking room,
motors were torn loose from several
power tools, work benches over
turned, tools scattered about and
walls daubed with wood stains; in
the cooking room, kitchen utensils
were thrown about and food scat
tered over the floor.
Mr. Adamick estimated the dam
age at $4,000 and said 10 workmen
were assigned to clean the wreckage.
Sergt. Miller said two of the boys
were students at Peabody, while the
third attended another school.

Municipal Court Held
Without Jurisdiction
In Child Support Case
Appeals Tribunal Holds
Authority Belongs
To District Bench

District Court - not Municipal
Court - has jurisdiction over pay
ments for the maintenance of a
minor child by its father, the
United States Court of Appeals de-
cided today in a ruling setting a
precedent for future domestic rela-
tions actions.
Mrs. Margaret Mcneil Enrich of
T. B., Md, brought suit in Municipal
Court here in February against her
former husband, Alton D. Mcneil,
insurance man of 1416 Staples street
NE, for SOS, contending he owed
her that sum because of Stipula-
ton they entered into in District
Court The stipulation grew out of
a District Court order awarding
custody of their 11-year-old daugh-
ter, Joan Teresa Mcneil, to Mrs.
Enrich, who has remarked.
Settling of Question Sought.
This is the first case of its kind
under the newly organized system
of having a domestic relations COM
missioner at District Court inquire
into the problem.
Municipal Court dismissed Mrs.
Emrich's suit for lack of juriSdic-
ton, and in its decision today, the
United States Court of Appeals as
serted:
I'VE allowed an appeal to settle
this important question of conflict
ing jurisdiction between the two
courts"-referring to Municipal and
District Courts
Justice Edgerton Dissents.
The appellate tribunal, in an opin-
ion written by Associate Justice JUS
tin Miller, who heard the case with
Associate Justices Henry w. Edger-
ton and Wiley Rutledge, sustained
the Municipal Courts action.
In dissenting opinion, Justice
Edgerton characterized the Munich
pal Court action as "a suit by a
mother to recover. for her own use,
money which the father had agreed
to pay her periodically for the sup
port of their child. He held that
that claim should remain in force
and within the jurisdiction of
Municipal Court.

of periodicals, including pulp maga-

The Japanese peruse certain
comic strips not because they have
joined the millions of Americans
who are addicted to that colorful
form of concentrated story telling;
the japanese are interested only in
those dealing with the plights, prob

will be no gap in the picture of the
American scene which these busy
diplomats are preparing for their

ices.
The cherry blossoms around the
Washington Tidal Basin probably
will have come and gone before the
Nipponese leave our shores. A
number of Japanese diplomats from
South America have not yet arrived
in the United States, which is to
be the point of departure for all
those quitting the Western Hemi-

Even that stubborn neutral Chile
is said to be seriously contemplating
an invitation to the Japanese diplo-
mats to leave the country. Some of
those who are waiting in South
American capitals have not been
able to obtain clipper service to the
United States. When they all have
been gathered together boat will
leave for Lourenco Marques and the
waiting Americans will start on the
last leg of their voyage home.

Gone are the days when japanese
diplomats wore western clothes with
ill-concealed satisfaction and elab-
crate unconcern. A sign of the new
Japan, flushed with the ancient wine
of victory, is the renewed pride their
nationals are taking in their native
dress.
Spanish attaches, who 60 to Hot
Springs, Va, to confer with the in
termed Japanese diplomats about
questions of Japanese interests, have
been amazed to find their former
colleagues looking like troupe play

tary and naval attaches were garbed
in colorful kimonos and were Ian
guidly waving fans as they walked
around the spacious grounds, deep
in conversation.
The American diplomatic corps
from Toxic has reached the "ex-
change city" of Lourenco- Marques
in Portuguese East Africa and the
Japanese at Hot Springs know that
the time for their departure is
growing near. They are improving
the last shining hours in every
possible manner.
