CIatterbuck Communication
Studied by Gov. Darden
Ry the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, June l3.-Gov
Darden had under advisement today
a plea for communication of the death
sentence of Thomas William Clat-
terbuck of Loudoun County, con-
victed of murder in one of five
killings last June.
Clatterbuck, who was granted a
fourth stay June l, is due to die in
the electric chair Friday for the
killing of Walter Russell.
The Governor said he desired
time to study additional material
submitted yesterday by r. A. Nc
Intyre, counsel for the convicted
man, and is awaiting also another
report from the Governors Advisory
Commission on Mental Hygiene.
The basis for the communication
plea is the original report of the
commission which cast some doubt
on Clatterbuck's sanity. The sanity
issue was raised in the trial, but
Clatterbuck was held sane and the
State Supreme Court upheld the
verdict. The principal question be-
fore the Governor is whether Clat-
terbuck became insane after his
trial.
Those killed, in addition to Mr.
Russell, were Mr.. and Mrs. A. Morris
Love. James Love, their son, ano
Mrs. Russell.

A woman stenographer operating

Disabled Veterans

Get Clubhouse
University Assigns
Groom Dwelling to
n Ex-Servicemen

The % disabled veterans of this
war studying at George Washington
University with the Government
footing the bills now have club.
house of their own.
The men, six of whom entered the
university just in time for the sum-
mer session, paused between classes
to inspect the six-room, red-brick
house at 722 Twenty-second street
NV.
The university, it was explained
assigned them the building to give
them a place to relax as well as
study. That's part of the rehabili-
tation for the youthful students
with battle scars.
The veterans have their owr
club, with Elmo w. Keel as presi-
dent. A master sergeant in the
Army Air Forces, Mr.. Keel was q
fight engineer serving in the India
China theater. He was wounded ano
discharged in September He is now
taking a graduate course in electri-
cal engineering.
Tend to Stick Together.
Mr.. Keel said the veterans tend
to stick together, mainly because
they have more in common. The,
help each other, too. not only witt
their studies but with the business
of getting adjusted to civilian life
One of the boys, for instance, il
bitterly disappointed at being dis
charged from the service. He hat
hoped to stay in even after the wal
but the burns he suffered made tha
impossible. Now he's studying
mechanical engineering, expects te
take up marine engineering so he
can carry on in civilian life what
he hoped to do in the service.
Many of the ex-servicemen are
taking engineering courses, although
some are majoring in other fields
They all seem to know just what
they want to do when they finish
their courses.
Sees Higher Requirements.
"The educational requirements for
Jobs will be higher after the war
explained Barry Harrison, 22-year-
old signalman, second class. who was
discharged from the Navy after
suffering severe burns in the South
Pacific. Besides. going to school
helps take your mind off things"
None of them have "funked out,
according to Gill Helring, former
sergeant in the airborne engineers
who is now majoring in psychology
to become a veterans counselor
Some of them, he said, were little
"jittery" the first semester but
they've gotten over that now. The
ones who were in the service longest
he added, talk about it least--par-
ticularly the ones who have beer
wounded.
They don't talk about where they
got it," he said.
Thanks to plastic surgery in some
cases, it would be hard to tell them
from the other students. This helps
the men to pick up the threads OF
the life they left one to four years
ago.

ID. Spending Of Funds
For Fairgrounds
PIonning Should Be Aimed
At Social Improvement,
He Tells Council Meeting

Great care must be exercised in
the expenditure of public funds for
parks and Fairgrounds to insure
that only the most necessary and
most urgent matters will be taken
care of after the war, Maj. Gen.
U. S. Grant, Sd, told members of
the Recreation Division, Council of
Social Agencies of the District, at
their annual meeting yesterday.
Gen. Grant said all planning in
Fairgrounds should be aimed at
social improvement as well as
against crime, sickness and auto
mobile accidents, and that space
should be provided for children of
all economic strata.
Most Urgent Needs.
The speaker declared that the
most urgent needs for Fairgrounds
appeared to be in the central, con-
gested section of the city and that
the acquisition of land for recrea-
tional space would be costly. He
said 100000 of the $4,000, 900
granted the Park and Planning
Commission by Congress already
had been spent and that the re-
naming funds would have to be
used to buy higher priced land.
Urging more cooperation between
his group and the Council of Social
Agencies, Gen. Grant said the park
commission would not only welcome
suggestions but constructive criti-
cism, and added that close, co-ordi-
mated activity of the two bodies was
necessary to reap the greatest COM
munity benefit in the recreation
field.
All Officers Reelected.
All officers of the recreation di-
vision. Council of Social Agencies,
were unanimously reelected.
Mrs. Cazenove Lee. jr.. was re-
turned to Office of chairman, and
