Cure Is Duty
Of Public, Scientist
Tells Conference Here
Dr.. Martin Gross Cites
European Methods Of
Treating Alcoholics

Adoption of the attitude of some
European countries that the re-
habilitation of alcoholics is a duty
of society since the victim is a prod
uct of social neglect, was urged to-
day by Dr. Martin Gross, depart
ment of applied physiology of Yale
University, in an address before a
one day conference on the problems
of alcoholics, held in the United
States Chamber of Commerce
Building.
DR.. Gross pointed to Sweden
Switzerland, Holland and Russia as
having especially progressive legis-
lation in this field. In Russia, he
said, man may be forced to sub
NIT for a cure of alcoholism, but
like any other person hosptialized
on account of illness, he continues
to receive his wages while under
treatment. This was contrasted by
the speaker with conditions in the
United States. where, he said, the
alcoholic receives public care only
if he has mental disorder.
Present Three Aims.
DR.. Gross presented the following
set of aims as fundamental in the
public care of the patient:
Prevent formation of drinking
habits in young people.
2-Protect the alcoholic and his
family and prevent him from be-
coming a criminal or a mental pa
tient.
3IGive him the best chance of
recovery through the best medical
treatment, through the utilization
of community resources, and
through cooperation between gov
ernment and temperance organiza-
tions, as we'll as through the utiliza-
ton of the rehabilitated alcoholics
themselves.
A reorientation in an alcoholic S
social life must take place before he
can be cured, DR.. Selden D. Bacon,
assistant professor of sociology at
Yale, declared in calling for an ex-
tensive sociological study Of the
aspects of alcoholism.
The one-day conference is spon-
sored by the Corrections Committee
of the Council of Social Agencies
of the District and vicinity, and the
Committee on Religious Life in the
Nations Capital.
Arrests Increase Is Per Cent.
The conference released figures
today showing that arrests for
drunkenness in the District in
creased IS per cent last year over
1912, per 100000 population. The
figure rose from 29.183 arrests in
1912 to 34,443 in 1943 The latter
figure, however, does not give a true
picture of the situation because of
the great increase in the District S
population. the report said
DR.. Bacon cautioned that sociol-
ogical study of the problem must not
develop in the atmosphere of strong
moral judgments. This, he said,
would falsely influence final conclu-
sions. Drinking is a behavior pat
tern. and should be studied from
this viewpoint, he said.

Formal Order Bars
Joan Manners From
Visiting Daughter
Justice GoIdsboroueh
Takes Final Step to
Give Girl to Futher

Joan Manners today was denied
all rights to see her i1-year-old
daughter, Joan Langan. as District
Court Justice T. Alan Goldsborough
signed the formal order awarding
custody to the father, John Langan
THE court knows of no way for
the mother to have this child which
would not probably result in her TAX
ing the child to Maryland" Justice
Goldsborough said.
1t was the final step in the long
custody battle which began in the
District a month ago. Miss Man
ners' attorneys, however, still have
five days to file an appeal from Jus
tice Goldsborough's decision. At the
same time an appeal is pending
from an order of the Circuit Court
of Montgomery County which previ-
ously had granted custody Of the
girl to the former actress.
Suggestion Rejected.
Referring to suggestion made
Monday that Miss Manners be al
lowed to visit the girl only when lit
tie Joan is in the custody of
United States marshal. jeff Lichten-
berg, attorney for the mother, point
ed out that this would cost $14 day
plus expenses.
Justice Goldsborough then ex-
planned that he had been visited this
morning by Chief Deputy Marshal
Michael Kearney who had informed
him that the marshal's Office is
short of help.
so far as can see" Justice
Goldsborough said, the suggestion
is not feasible"
Then I see no otiler solution" Mr..
1ichtenberg said, except that Miss
Manners post nominal bond"
Justice Goldsborough said he did
not believe that would work"
#t Unusual Situation.
This is very unusual situation. i"
he said. "A Maryland court award
ed custody to the petitioner miss
Manners, and this court awarded

Justice Goldsborough also signed
an order overruling the motion of
Miss Manners attorneys for per-
mission to see the girl.
Both Miss Manners and Mr.. Lam
gan were in the courtroom today
After the custody order had been
signed, Mr.. Langan said he could
now spend the time he had been
devoting to the case to looking for
q home in the District. He remains
under a contempt citation in Mary
land and would face arrest if he
attempted to return to his Chevy
Chase apartment.

Soon after former Rubber Di-

Commissioner Gregory Hankir
asked S. R. Bowen. Pepco attor-
ney, for copies of contracts between
Pepco and the Washington Rail-
way & Electric Co., involving q
deal in which Pepco issued $1,000
900 of common stock to Wreco fo1
tWo-t thirds interest in the Great
Falls water-power site.
Contracts an Issue.
Mr.. Bowen said he had a copy
of the original contract of 1912
adding that the same contract had
been renewed annually until 1896
when modified contract was en-
tered into. While Mr.. Hankin
pressed Mr.. Bowen for copies OF
each years contract up to 1936-al-
though they were Identical, accord
ing to Mr.. BoWen-Chairman James
H. Flanagan asked Mr.. Bowen mere
ly to certify that the contracts had
been similar and passed on by the
Board of Directors.
The Federal agencies interven-
ing in the hearings have contended
that the title for the power site
has never been given to Pepco,
although more than $4,000 900 of
dividends has been paid by Pepco
on the common stock issued for it.
Company attorneys have argued
that the site has no bearing on the
rate case since the $1000,OOO was
subtracted from the rate base of
SPSo Ny elIC uIAllticS COEIlIIltSSlOIl
many years ago.
Mr.. Bowen said the present con-
tract provides for full title to the
site, a dispute over the site having
been resolved in favor of the Great
Falls Power Co. in the Virginia
courts.
. Reports on Ownership.
At the present time, according to
the report submitted by Arthur E.
Lundvall, chief accountant of the
Federal Trade Commission, Wreco
owns 100 per cent of the common
stock of Pepco, 100 per cent of
Washington & Rockville Railway
Co., of Montgomery County, and
662s per cent of the Great Fails
Power Co. The Washington &
Co. controls 1914 per cent
OF the Great Falls Power Co.
Wreco has put up in escrow all
OF the corporate stock of the Great
Falls Co. as collateral on the power
site. Mr.. Bowen said the contracts
between 1912 and 1886 had pro-
vided for Wreco to return the shares
OF common stock and dividends to
Pepco if the site was not trans
ferred, and that such a surrender
was "still provided for"
Mr.. Hayden, who testified last
week on the 1914 budget estimates
OF Pepco, said the revenues in
January and February were s22, 900
higher than at first anticipated

EUREKA, Feb. 2l.-War Fund
Chairman O. A. Knapp met Satur-
day afternoon at the Red Cross
room in Eureka to map out the
1914 War Fund Drive with his vol
unteer workers.
AS the 1914 War Fund Drive APP
proaches-March LIST to April 1st-
all of us are conscious of the need
for adequate financial resources on
the civilian front as we'll as on the
fighting front. Tests of patriotism
come one after another in wartime
Today the people of Eureka COM
munity face the Red Cross 1914 War
Fund campaign test for unity of
spirit and of purpose here and ev-
erywhere throughout our land.
Fading in importance at the mo-
ment is the fact that we came
through the Fourth War Loan cam
paign with flying colors: that 9TH
er drives have brought a response
to chill the enemy.
Right now the community is con-
cerned with the Red Cross appeal.
AS on field of battle. past accom-
plishments count for naught if the
coming offensive fails.
Americas armed might is being
hurled against the enemy in the
greatest onslaught yet seen in Eu-
rope. On the Pacific front, too, the
attack is widening. :.
For. successful warfare against
the enemy, for the morale OF the
oppressed areas of the world, for
the sake Of the home town boys and
girls who are giving their life
blood in the stencil and muck of
armed conflict, it is vital that we
here in North Lincoln County do
better than our assigned part for
our own organization-the Ameri-
can Red Cross.
1t is our organization of neighbor-
illness, extending aid locally and
from here to the men on the far
fronts of the world. From the Eu-
reka Chapter and from the 3,755
others of the nation, loyal Red Cross
volunteers bend their efforts in
labors of service.
With this national prospect, Civ
ing as usual is out of the question
just as living as usual is out of
the question for the. lads fighting
our war.
Oversubscription Of the following
quotas is the only answer.
