Fails 10 Prove Story

Alvah B. Martin, 70, suspect in
the Norman Leroy Plank Staying,
failed to substantiate his state
ments that he spent sometime in
Washington taverns and hotel the
night of July 5when Fairfax County
police took him on a tour here yes
terday.
Plank, District Small Claims
Court clerk, was found shot to death
early July Z and police said he had
been dead two or three hours when
his body was discovered at the foot
of the cellar stairs in his sisters
home near Falls Church. Martin,
arrested July II in Kingston, N. Y,
driving the sisters car, admits be-
ing with Plank from early July 5
until the evening Of that day.
The Taunton (Mass) man, how
ever, denies he killed Plank and told
police If they took him to Washing
ton he could show them the hotel
in which he stayed and the taverns
he visited. Police gave him that
chance yesterday but he could find
no one who could identify him, they
said.
Martin has also contended that
he was in Philadelphia July and
has requested to be taken there to
prove 1t. Police Chief Carl Mcintosh
said there is q possibility that the
suspect may be given the chance.

Senate May Act Today
On Revised Hebelt Bill
For Alcoholic Clinics
BY George Kennedy

y.
The Hebert bill to establish al
coholic clinics in the District may
be brought up on the floor of the
Senate. today, according to Senator
Cooper, Republican, of Kentucky,
of the Senate District
Welfare Subcommittee, which re-
the measure after extensive
hearings.
p. The bill was reported favorably
by the Senate District Committee
yesterday with a unanimous vote.
It already has passed the House.
Most important of the revisions
was one to increase by 10 per cent
the license fees for establishments
handling alcoholic beverages. The
estimated $4,000 increase in license
revenues would be used to finance
the clinics. -,
~ Retains Vital Language.
The House; version would author
ize an appropriation up to 1000
from the general revenues of the
District for the purpose.
The bill still contains the Ian
guage deemed so important by per-
sons who have been working on the
problem. of alcohohsm-"the courts
of, the District are hereby author
lied to take judicial notice of the
fact that a chronic alcoholic is a
sick person.
Senator Cooper explained to the
committee that his subcommittee
had revised the House bill SO de-
fendant in court could not be found
q chronic alcoholic without due
process. Judges might commit for
intoxicatioi1 as before; but before a
man could be found to be 4 chronic
alcoholic, he would have to be
given notice and a hearing at which
he might offer evidence TO dispute
the allegation.
- Advisory Body Set Up.
The program would be in charge OF
q director, who would have to be a
physician. He would report directly
NJ tilSs SO1IkA1iASSlOA1C4o. ~ SAAo
in the corporation Of Alcoholics
Anonymous and other interested
groups whose help Is necessary to
the success Of any such program,
Senator Cooper said, the bill would
create an advisory council OF six
citizens to meet with the director.
Municipal. Court judges, on -flnd-
ing q defendant a chronic alcoholic,
might give him to the custody OF
the director for 80 days. The de-
fendant could be at liberty during
that time, required only to report
regularly to the clinic.
Should the director decide the
defendant ought to be continued in
his custody beyond the 80 days, the
defendant would have to be sent
back to court for further hearing.
Voluntary patients at the clinic
might be charged for the treatment
afforded them under the bill and
the record Of voluntary patients at
the clinic COULD not be used against
them In any action in court.
