Snyder Youth Found
Sane, 10 Stand Trial
In Staying Of Three

Robert w. Snyder, 14-year-old
Gordon Junior High School student,
must stand trial for his life in the
Staying of his foster parents and
foster sister, Montgomery County
States Attorney Walter w. Dawson
announced today with the disclosure
that State psychiatrists have de-
clared the youth OF sound mind.
"The report sent to me-" Mr..
Dawson explained, "says the boy was
found to be sane at the time OF
commission of the crime and is sane
now. It concludes that as far as the
Maryland law is concerned the boy
can tell the difference between right
and wrong"
Young Snyder was indicted by a
grand jury for the shotgun killing
last November of Mr.. and Mrs. Ross
H. Snyder and their adopted daugh-
ter. Jane Ann Snyder.
The report was forwarded to Mr..
Dawson by DR.. George H. Preston,
head Of the State Board Of Mental
Hygiene, under whose direction
young Snyder was examined in
January at Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity. Baltimore.
The States Attorney said he would
ask the Circuit Court to set trial, II
possible, before the March term OF

agement has just as much to lose
as labor by the passage of laws to
weaken unions. He said that busi-
ness cannot thrive when labor is
depressed and unable to buy the
output of farm and factory.
Mr.. Brown suggested thorough in
vestigation of labor management
problems before action on new laws
is taken by Congress. He sug-
gested that a committee represent
ing industry, labor and Congress
undertake the task.
Monopoly Charge Hit.
"Of one thing I am certain" he
said, Congress has no mandate from
the people to pass hasty and i'll
considered legislation. If labor was
at all in the picture in the last elec-
ton, it was there only because of
the fundamental issue Of stabilizing
the cost of living by raising wages
or lowering prices"
Mr.. Brown devoted considerable
time to answering the charge that
big national labor unions are mo-
nopolies and should be broken up.
He asked how the unions could be
monopolies when they still must
come to Congress for help in raising
minimum wages, were dependent
upon unemployment insurance and
old-age benefits and must still be
subsidized to get decent homes to

Borbershop Quartet, Refuge
Of Males, to Sing for Hospital

SPEBSQSA, which is probably the
only cloister left to the refugee male
will make one of it's infrequent
public appearances tonight.
Local practitioners of barbershop
harmony, who have been organized
for two years, will participate in a
benefit show at Lisner Auditorium
Twenty-fr and H streets NV, at
$3.50 pm. Proceeds will go to the
George Washington University Hos
pital fund.
SPEBSQSA stands for the Society
for the Preservation and Encourage
ment of Barber Shop Quartet Sing
ing in America, Inc. The first
chapter was organized in 1888 by a
Tulsa (Okla) lawyer, Owen Cash, on

basic echelon in SPEBSQSA. One
Of it's better known members is a
tenor named Harry Truman, who
belongs to the Kansas City CMo.D
Chapter. The President, inciden-
tally, has been invited to attend
tonight's performance.
President of the local chapter
which was organized two years ago
is Jean Boardman, a lawyer, who
resents any jocular reference to the
society and its purposes.
"We really take it seriously" he
says. Anybody who has an idea
that we sit down and spend our
time just yowling is sadly mistaken
Some of the better quartets spend
hours and hours rehearsing one
number before they sing it publicly
Take our quartet-the Fedora

work on one song. We sing without
