A jury which freed a man on a
charge of negligent homicide IN

icized by Judge George D. Nelson

The jury, consisting of six men
and six women, found Marvin B.
Stevens, 33, of Baltimore not respon-
sible in the traffic death of John H.
Cook, 81, of SIS Eighth street Sc.
Police said Mr.. Cook was struck by
a truck driven by the defendant on
March 10 at First street and New
York avenue NE. The victim died
in Casualty Hospital on March 81.

the man before coming to a halt.
Both the automobile and the car
were going west on New York

fused"

berg testified a urinalysis showed

that his trailer truck struck the
deceased. He testified Mr.. Cook fell
in front of it as he neared him. He
said he had not been drinking.

son called its decision a fragrant
miscarriage of justice"

been involved in two traffic deaths
(the other in 1880 and you have

Realty Boost questioned.
Senator McGrath. Democrat, of
Rhode Island questioned Senator
Cain yesterday on reasons for saw
ing $4,500,000 of invested city war
savings for the fiscal year 194s.
Senator McGrath suggested that
the money be spent during the next
fiscal year and thus put off for an
other year the increase in the real
estate tax.
Senator Cain, however, replied
that. while this could have been
done, the joint committee felt the
proposed realty boost was reasonable
and would also play a part in House
acceptance of a higher Federal pay
ment.
In connection with the lump-sum
boost, Senator Cain told his COL
leagues he and Mr.. Bates could not
agree on any formula for fixing
Federal responsibility to the city.

Sweet, indeed, is the news that
consumers will be able to get 10
pounds of sugar on April 1st and
another 10 pounds on July 1st.
A third allotment Of 10 pounds
will probably be available on
October 1st, thus making the ra-
ton 80 pounds for each consumer
during 1947.
Industrial sugar users, preserv-
ing industries, and pharmaceutical
firms will all have increased
quotas as a result of the higher

RECORD NOTES

One of the most misunderstood
of all composers is Mozart Pop
ularly regarded as shallow
though brilliant traditionalist,
this great genius was actually the
first important musical rebel
against exploitation by the ruling
class.
Master of all musical forms
from opera to chamber music,
Mozart achieved his effects with
a matchIess economy of style.
Where Wagner employed bonn
bast to gain the attention of his
audience, Mozart achieved far
greater depth and beauty without
hysteria.
Several fine Mozart recordings
have been released in recent
weeks. Outstanding are Toscani-
mis- powerful performance of the
Jupiter" Symphony. the Schneid-
er-Kirkpatrick album of violin
sonatas, and the Koussevitsky re-
cording of the 2sth Symphony.
TOSCANINI'S reading of the
Jupiter" Symphony will impress
most listeners, and the recording
is magnificent technically. Al
though his conception lacks the
flexibility and tenderness of the
old Beecham set-particularly in
the second movement-iti is so far
superior in recording quality that
it must now rate as mo. l."
No one could bubble about the
Koussevitsky offering, however,
since the 26th Symphony is
beautiful early work, and in its
single-platter form the splendid
performance makes it one of the
top bargains in the catalogue
One buck plus tax!
The album of sonatas, however,
raises serious problems, for the
violin of Alexander Schneider is
accompanied by Ralph Kirkpat-
rick's harpsichord.. Both must
clans are top-notch artists, and
the sonatas themselves *. 296,
378, 379 are incompatible. But
a glance at Alfred Einstein's fine
book on Mozart will indicate what
the rub is: Mozart wrote not
for the clavichord or harspsichord

Today even The Westerns have
their share Of psychology
enter IiIiiZsSI
BY MARJORIE MILTON

The Western, it seems, has
grown up. Once considered fare
for the Saturday morning kiddie
crowd, recent examples of this
school are designed for adult
minds and strong stomachs.
The latest of the series, "Pur-
sued'', is considerably less of
horse-opera then it is a Freudian
study of completes, repressions
and neuroses.
The feud, long staple item in
Westerns, is present in this film,
but it is feud with a difference.
Jeb Raud Robert Mitchum) is
haunted by the feeling that he is
being pursued; he knows that his
fear is connected with a dark
and terrifying incident in his
childhood. When one of the Cal
lums, who have sworn to kill the
last of the Rands, come looking
for Jeb, the pursuit becomes very
real indeed.
AFTER two killings, several
ambushes, a chase in the grand
tradition, and near-lynching, Jeb
at last learns why he is being
pursued, and he and the audience
finally get Strengthened out on all
the complicated relationships.
In the meantime, the audience
has been treated to some tense
and exciting thrills that have the
old type of Westerns backed off
the boards for violent action.
Sticklers for realism in the
cinema may object to a few badly
motivated scenes and contrived
situations. But with James Wong
Howe's magnificent photography,
Robert Mitchum's restrained, tense
portrait of a bedeviled man, and
the lovely Teresa .Wright's COM

are inclined not to bubble

Reviewers notebook

Fields of Wonder. by Langston
Hughes. Alfred A. Knopf. $3.50.
There are high spots and low
spots in Langston Hughes, new
book of lyric poems, Fields of
Wonder. but the good pages are
too many to be missed.
Much of the type of thing this
writer does seems little more than
arrangement of words in typogra-
phical sequence to catch the eye.
But many others are reminiscent
of Sandburg in their honest sim
plicity, and comparable to James
Joyce in their sheer beauty of
sound. More important than
either of these qualities, however,
is the vigor of thought that occa-
-sionally arrests the attention:
Beating your fists
Against the wall,
You break your bones
Against the wall
But sometimes not.
Walls have been known
To fall,
Dusk turn to dawn,
And chains be gone!

AS Third President Of
Virginia University
By the Assoeiofed Press


CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, Oct. /.
Former Gov. Colgate w. Darden,
jr., of Norfolk, today was inaugural
ed as the third president of the
University of Virginia.
The new president, who took Office
June %, was inducted by Edward R.
Stettinius, jr., rector of the uniyer-
sity, in ceremonies witnessed by the
faculties of the University of Vir-
ginia and Mary Washington College,
as well as many distinguished edu-
Gators and others. For many years
a chairman of the faculty admins
tered the University of Virginia.
After ceremonies preceding the
induction at 10:45 am, the new
president delivered an. address in
which he outlined the needs of the
people of the State in the educa-
tional field and told of some of his
plans for administration of the uni
versity, which he entered as an
undergraduate 80 years ago.
Capacity Held Inadequate.
"It is my belief" he said, that
the number leaving high school who
desire some college work is within a
few years going to exceed the Ca
pacity of the State institutions.
consequently I believe we should
give careful consideration to the
establishment of colleges giving two
years of sound work to both men
and women. This has been done
with great success by the College OF
William and Mary in both Norfolk
and Richmond and the experiment
has enabled many to secure the
training they desire at cost within
their means, and it has relieved to
degree the congestion in the
