Defense Gets Access
To Snyder. Evidence

James H. Pugh, attorney for Capt
D. Leroy Snyder, Montgomery
County policeman indicted on
charges of malfeasance in Office
growing out of alleged use of county
policemen on his farm, was granted
authority in County Circuit Court
yesterday to examine the prose-
cution's evidence against his client
Judges Stedman Prescott and
Charles w. Woodward also fixed
Wednesday as the date for a hear
ing on demurrer to the indictment
to be filed by Mr.. Pugh. Capt
Snyder's trial, originally scheduled
for that day, was changed to Oc-
tober %.
Mr.. Pugh said his demurrer will
claim that the two indictments
against the policeman were improp-
erly drawn and that the alleged
offense should have been brought
before the Police Trial Board and
not before the grand jury.
The indictments charge Capt
Snyder with using members of the
county police force to work on his
Burtonsville farm and with falsi-
flying police records to show them
on duty when they actually were
on the farm.

Hearing Set October 29
On Nurse Licensing Issue

The Commissioners have tenta-
lively set October 20 for a public
hearing on a proposal to license all
practical nurses in the District and
place them under the Nurses Exam
ining Board.
Last June, the Commissioners re-
jected the proposal, submitted at
that time to the corporation coun-
sells Office by Charles D. Drayton
attorney for the Graduate Nurses
Association. The tentative hearing
was set after Mr.. Drayton made a
recent appeal to the city heads.
Under the terms suggested in June
by the association, practical nurses
would be required to pay $40 a year
for license and meet such standards
as having good moral character
good mental and physical health
and have three years experience and
work under direct supervision of a
physician or registered nurse.
The Commissioners were believed,
at that time, to have objected on
the ground that the legislation
would make it more difficult to re-
cruit nursing assistance.

Youthful Editor Spends $3.50;

paper New Moon and a student al
Anacostia High School, is a youth
who believes in clinging to a story
even if it means missing the best
parts of a football game and costs
him $3.50 to boot.
Jimmy disagrees emphatically
with Adelbert Lee, member of the
Board of Education, that there is
excessive drinking and smoking
among high school students at foot
ball games. So yesterday Jimmy
hired Wallace Wade, Is, Anacostia
High School student photographer
who takes pictures for his school
paper, to snap photographs of any
students who might be either drink
ing or smoking at the Anacostia-
Western High School game. The
result was near zero.

drinking or smoking. We didn't

SO much money for welfare serv.
ices?
A. Sudden peace, rehabilitation
and employment shakeups place 8
heavy burden on welfare agencies
The very fact that we expect dislo-
cations to be temporary means that
a larger share of the burden will fall
on private rather than public agen-
cies.
@. If people have saved War
Bonds during the war, won't they
have enough money to tide them
over the reconversion period?
A. In many cases, no, because the
people have not built up a sufficient
reserve of savings to meet emer-
gencies.

Any Student Drinking
Al Two Grid Games

Adelbert w. Lee, Board of Educa-
tion member, who said 20 per cent
OF high school students drink at
football games, visited two games
yesterday and saw no drinking.
Maybe this discussion was enough
to stop it," Mr.. Lee commented. He
visited the Anacostia- Western and
Eastern Wilson games.
The board member announced
previously that he would demand
cancellation of games if drinking did
not stop. Since his inspection, Mr..
Lee said during a radio broadcast
last night, he has decided the games
should be Cancelled "only as last
resort"

He added he had confidence in the
ability of the students to clean up
this matter themselves"

on the extent of drinking will be re-
vealed at the board meeting We'd

tendent, announced.
Mrs. Philip Sidney Smith, another
board member, declared yesterday
that unless Mr.. Lee can Substantiate
his charges, he should apologize pub
licly to students and the community.
Other board members have indi-
Gated they will ask Mr.. Lee for proof
of his statements. d.
Comment Continues.
Meanwhile, comment continues on
the extent of drinking among stu
dents.
DR.. Albert Mccartney, pastor of
the First Covenant Presbyterian
Church, said he had never seen
church-going students drink and
that the offenders must be non

DR.. Mccartney added that prob
ably only an independent survey
by an outside agency could estab-
lish definitely the extent of drink
ing. He could not suggest any
agency to do this, however.

Army Asked 10 Free
Experts in Production
OF Artificial Limbs

Representative Kelley, Democrat,
OF Pennsylvania, chairman of the
House Subcommittee on Aid to the
Physically Handicapped, today asked
Secretary of War Patterson to re-
lease from the service men skilled in
the manufacture OF artificial limbs.
His request came after eight vet
Grams told the committee yesterday
the entire plan of providing arti-
f1cial limbs for amputees is unsat-
lisfactory.
The veterans, all members of the
Disabled American Veterans, testi-
fled that the limbs are not only
poorly designed and the cheapest
that money can buy" but also that
there is far too little attention given
for fittings and adjustments.
Service Called Unsatisfactory.
After listening to this testimony
Representative Kelley declared the
artificial limb service provided by
the Veterans Administration is
"makeshift and unsatisfactory"
He characterized the artificial limb
situation, in service and out, as "a
national disgrace"
On the score of releasing artificial
nmbmakers, an Army spokesman
on an earlier occasion complained
that the Army program of giving
the men the best possible fit was
hampered by the fact that most
artificial limbmakers had been
given draft dererments and were
not available to the Army.
Mr.. Kelley said the suggestion
that some arrangement be made
with the armed forces for the re-
lease of artificial limb manufac-
turers came from George Mac
Vaughan, who was formerly with the
War Manpower Commission.
Asks BradIey's Views.
The subcommittee said 1t had
asked Gen. Omar N. Bradley, vet
erans' administrator, for clarifca-
ton OF his agency's policy on refit-
ting and replacement of unsatisfac-
tory prosthetic devices.
The subcommittee chairman also
sent a letter to the director of the
Federal Trade. Commissions Trade
Practice Conference asking that an
attempt be made to work out an
industry code for limb manufac-
turerS.
Secretary Patterson was informed
by the House group that handi-
capped veterans are experiencing
sharp discomfort and bitter disap-
pointment because of improper fit
ting of limbs by persons not skilled
in the art" The subcommittee said
it had received evidence of disloca-
ton in the industry because of Army
manpower needs.

Landing Strip
Is Recommended

Although, as the result of a nation

an emergency landing strip has been
recommended for Garrett county, the
final outcome is not yet definite, ac-
cording to latest available information

The Federal commission planning
the system of air strips throughout
the nation as postwar development,
has recommended the expenditure of
$416,000 for the airstrip in this
county.
A state survey is being contem-
plated which possibly will tie in with
the federal program but according to
Bernard |. Gender, state senator from
this county, the appropriation made to
cover the expenses Of an engineer and
one man to go over the state, was con-
sidered insufficient, which is delaying
