sistance will be secured from
various sources.
A second aspect will be study
to formulate principles OF CEN
ter program, what a center can
do and should do in terms OF the
local situation. This sub-commlt-
tee has not yet been appointed.
Third and important considera-
ton will be ways and means, the
review of the financial implica-
tions of a center program. Mr..
Fruchthendler explains this needs
be done simultaneously because
its findings will markedly influ-
ence the decision of the Survey
Committee. The Ways and Means
Committee (not yet appointed)
will study the financial ability
and capacity of the community
not only to build but also to main
tain a center.
Consideration will be given to
the advisability, if it is conclud-
ed that a center is needed but
cannot be financed at this time,
to campaign for a site in the city
limits. This will require the i'm
portant decision of geographical
location and accessibility to in
sure maximum use of such facili-
ties, once established.
In studying community need
for a center, consideration will
need be given to the building
plans of the Temple, future plans
of Congregation Anshei Israel and
Hillel. Mr.. Fruchthendler said
1--WE shall endeavor to make the
findings complete, factual and as
authoritative as possible. We will
draw on the experience of other
communities. We shall try to take
the matter of the need for a CEN

Mocnomee Calls, Wife Lazy,
Tells of Scuffje Over Broom

The refusal of his wife to read
books or engage in any intellectual
pursuits was an everlasting cause
of friction" between them, Wallace
Bruce Macnamee, 81, who in 1941
was chosen as one of the Nation S
best-dressed men, told District Court
Judge F. Dickinson Let's today.
Mr.. Mcnamee, an administrative
officer of the National Federation of
American Shipping, took the wit
ness stand in the trial Of a divorce
action brought by Mrs. Elizabeth
Quigley Macnamee, SO, a former
member of the Metropolitan Opera
ballet.
Mr.. Macnamee emphatically de-
MED his wife's charges that he
struck her on several occasions, but
admitted she was knocked down
once in a scufle for possession of a
broom.
THAT happened after one of our
usual arguments about her almost
pathological laziness," the silver
haired Macnamee testified. "She
picked up a broom and started for
me. I grabbed the broom and in
the ensuing scuffle I think
knocked her down."
The first rift in their marital
life appeared about three months
after they returned from theil
honeymoon in 1910, Mr.. Macnamee
said. At the time, Mrs. Macnamet

And I suppose it was true"
Attorney Jean Boardman, repre-
senting Mrs. Macnamee. demanded
that the husband tell the court what
Mrs. Macnamee had failed to do
which led him to accuse her of
pathological laziness."
"She didn't do anything. said Mr.
Macnamee tersely.
What did you expect her to do?"
Mr.. Boardnan asked.
II expected her at least to engage
in war work or to read some books
or to take an active interest in the
things I was doing" Mr.. Macnamee
responded. Il think that any mar
riage is at least a $3.50 proposition.
I was working hard and paying all
the bills and I didn't see that she
was doing anything that was USE
full"
Mr.. Macnamee, in response to
question by Mr.. Boardman, admitted
that he told his wife's father that
Mrs. Nacnamee was "a damned
miserable parasite" Asked why he
had called her that, Mr.. Macnamee
replied:
"She was not interested in any,
thing. She would not read any
Books or participate in any intel

Death Penalty Sught
For Perre|I in Attack
On PoIiceman's Wife

The prosecuting attorney told a
jury of II men and ! woman today
he would recommend the death
penalty for Elvin H. Perrell, 26,
of Bear Greek, N. c., as his trial
for rape started.
The defendant is charged with
attacking the 31-year-old wife of
park policeman in his automobile
near a vacant lot off South Capitol
street Sc
Unless the death sentence is
specifically asked, the maximum
sentence would be 10 to 80 years.
Assistant United States Attorney
John C. Conliff, jr., is the prose-
cutting attorney. The case is before
Judge Henry Schweinhaut.
Charles Ford, defense counsel,
in his opening statement attacked
the indictment in that it charged
that what happened was against the
woman's will.
Woman Testifies.
The alleged victim, a slender
woman with curly blond hair, was
the first witness. She apparently
was under. strain but did not hesi-
tate hi answering questions. She
said her husband met her at the
Greyhound Bus Terminal, where
she is employed as q telephone
operator, at 11:10 pm, September
6; that he drove her to the bus stop
at Tenth street and Pennsylvania
avenue NV. and let her of to take
a bus home. She said he gave her
a new policeman's cap which had
been given him that day at lineup.
Her story continued:
She alighted from the bus about
1:30 am. at Waycourt place Sc.
AS she walked home a car which
had been parked behind the bus
stop followed her. The driver
asked her if she wanted a ride and
she replied in the negative.
Almost in frent of her house he
got out, grabbed her and clapped
his hand over her mouth when she
shouted. He forced her over to his
ooeSAAOb11C, PAShC0 11CI Op, CIi CIV 1lCI
in, and slammed the right front
door. Then he went around to
the left door and got in.
Tells of Being Struck.
Mr.. Conliff asked her why she
did not get out. She replied that
she could not open the door.
She honked the horn, she said,
and he struck her, cutting her
mouth. He drove away at a fast
clip and stopped on Joliet street
Sc, she said.
He told her to submit to him,
She said, and she did because she
was afraid he would kill her. She
had testified that he had threat
ened to kill her while forcing her
into the car. She identified the
defendant, a slender, blond man
whose appearance bellies his occupa-
ton, which is farming, as the man
who had attacked her. He heard
her story without change of ex-
preston.
