Delay in Solution
OF Glen Burnie Case
AssaiIed by Citizens

Aroused over delay in solving the
three-week-old Glen Burnie double
murder, Anne Arundel County citi-
zens today sought an explanation
from the police department.
The Board of Governors Of the
Magothy River Association, meeting
in Annapolis last night, voted to ap-
point a committee to fix RESPONSE
bility for failure to find the mur-
derer of John C. Mahlan, Is, a postal
clerk, and Mary Christine Kline, 1s.
Ward S. Corcoran, association

tivated by delay in apprehension Of
the "fendish killer or killers"
$1,000 Reward Offered.

The bodies were found several days
later six miles west of ANNAPOLIS

doned car.

tributed to the Rev. E. T. Kirkley,

Mclean Wins RuIinq
In $4,974 Tax Case

A Treasury attempt to collect an
extra $4,974 in taxes from Edward
B. Mclean, wealthy socialite, was
blocked by q United States Tax
Court ruling yesterday.
The case grew out of an agreement
by Mr.. Mclean, son of the late
Evalyn Walsh Mclean and Edward
B. Mclean, onetime publisher of
the Washington Post, on support
payments to his former wife, Ann
Meem. Mr.. McLean's address was
given in the opinion as Colorado
Springs, Colo.
The couple was divorced in Ne
vada on June l, 1943, and Mr.. Nc
Lean agreed to pay her $4,45s a
month for IL years and $2,29l a
month after that. In case she re-
married the payments were to be
reduced to $2.355 monthly for the
IL years and SLIPS thereafter.
The complicated agreement also
provided Tor scale-down in the
payments when their daughter
Emily or son, Edward, jr, became
81 or married or died, since the pay-
ments also were to be applied toward
their support.
The tax issue arose when Mr.. Nc
Leans wife remarked in 1947. The
Revenue Bureau contended that her
remarriage freed Mr.. Mclean of
support obligations toward her, and
that $24,287 he was due to pay her
subsequently was taxable under the
levy applicable on gifts.
The court ruled that the agree
ment's terms did not make that a
gift" but a proper promise by Mr..
Mclean to pay support funds in
return for his release from marital
claims"
Mr.. Mclean was divorced from a
second wife in September and it
was announced yesterday in New
York that he will marry Mrs. Man.
uela Hudson Vanderbilt, former wife
of Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, some
time this month.

about their deficiency at school
when other children laugh at them,
and their normal development may
be retarded
Many such children. she pointed
out, are afflicted with a trouble
something like left handedness,
which makes them see letters and
words backward, or as seen in a
mirror. This leads them to confuse
such words as was and saw, or the
letters d and b and makes reading
practically impossible in some cases.
Last February, a 14-year-old COL
ored boy was brought to the clinic
to get reading help. He was unable
then to distinguish one letter from
another. although he had managed
to get through seven years of school.
He had, however, two great interests
in life-to get drivers permit and
read the sports page in the news
paper.
Emotionally Improved.
The boy was turned over to Mrs.
Elaine Gerson, remedial reading
teacher at the clinic. who started
him off tracing large letters drawn in
pencil on sheet of cardboard. Once

Common Sense Formula at Clinic HELPS
Children Beset by Emotional Problems
Youngsters Normal
But Have Problems,
Chest Agency Reports

1t Is not by magic or mumbo-
jumbo, but by common sense that
children with emotional and be-
havior problems are helped at the
Fairfax County Child Consultation
Service in Falls Church.
This is the formula of Mrs. Anne
w. Adridge. director of Social Serv-
ice and staff member of the Chest
supported clinic since it was started
in 1916.
Mrs. Aldridge, who is a social
worker in psychiatry, points out
that the children who come to the
service for help are not abnormal.
They are all normal youngsters who
happen to have special problems,
which have temporarily disturbed
their emotional balance. It is the
job OF the clinics trained staff to
help parents and teachers discover
what those problems are and work
out a practical program to over
come them.
They 60 about it by a four-fold
method. When a parent brings
child to the clinic for advice and
treatment, physical report is OBJ
tanned from the child's family ply
sician. After that, the staff psy-
chologist at the clinic gives the
child tests to find out his abilities
and level of emotional development.
The child then Is interviewed by the
staff psychiatrist, while q social
worker talks with the parents to
get picture of the child's back
ground and home environment.
Weekly Appointments Made.
After meeting OF all these work.
ers, who pool their special know
ledge of the case, weekly appoint
ments are arranged for the child at
the clinic and between the parents
and a social worker, if they are
willing to cooperate.
What are the problems which
bring children and their parents
to the clinic for advice and guild
ance? They range everywhere from
children who throw tantrums when
they are supposed to go to school
to those who have reached their
teens and can't tell one letter of
the alphabet from another.
In many cases, the emotional dis
turbance in the child may be caused
by the parents themselves, Mrs.
Aldridge points out.
Many women will talk constant
ly about what their husbands will
and won't eat. They almost seem
to boast about it at times. A child
who hears this naturally thinks
that there is something sort Of
special in food fads and starts to
cultivate a few himself. 1t really
isn't surprising or abnormal at all.
Left Handed" Readers.
On the other hand, children who
can't learn to read are a more
serious problem, Mrs. Aldridge said.
They become emotionally upset

States Righters Plan
10 Ask Gov. Lane 10
Call Special Session
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

ANNAPOLIS. Oct. "a States
Rights leader planned today to ask
Gov Lane to call a special session
of the Maryland Legislature to con-
slider modification Of election laws
to permit placing the names of Gov.
Thurmond of South Carolina and
Gov. Wright of Mississippi on the
November ballot.
The Maryland Court Of Appeals
yesterday turned down a plea by the
States Rights Party for a writ
ordering election officials to list the
presidential candidates.
Thomas F. Cadwalader, Baltimore
attorney. said he would ask the
Governor to call the special session.
But it was thought unlikely that
Gov. Lane, a Truman Democrat,
would comply.
The Appellate Court upheld a
Baltimore Superior Court ruling
that political parties seeking a place
on the ballot by petition must file
the petition in April. The court filed
its verdict less than an hour after
formal arguments ended. Its formal
opinion will be handed down later.
The States Rights Party, organ
lied months after the legal deadline
for filing the petition, presented a
petition with more than 1000 sigma
lures on September 20.
Mr.. Cadwalader said the party has
been "disfranchised."
He said the party probably" will
issue gummed labels listing the eight
electors pledged to Mr.. Thurmond
and Mr.. Wright, although he termed
this an impractical" method of
voting.
Attorney General Hall Hammond
said he would instruct county elec-
tion supervisors to provide space for
the names of the electors on the
November 2 ballot, in addition to
listing the names of Democratic, Re-
publican, Socialist and Progressive
Party candidates.

Cured Instead of Killed.
Wimpy still has a catch in his
get-along, but he's right nimble to
what he was eight years ago when
his owner brought the ricket-ridden
little spitz puppy into the pound for
determination.
Il just couldn't bring myself to do
it" Mr.. Marks said. Instead of de-
stroying him, I cured him. Now he's
smart, attentive and the best watch
dog in the world. He'll carry mes
sages to employees here and knows
every one. But a stranger doesn't
stand chance with him"

pride in the cleanliness and COM
fort provided his charges than a
Dutch housewife, asked for the dog

dogs, always had 'em and under

motto: Put them in good homes in
