Judge geCaseyCriticized
By Appellate Court for
Delay Of Year in Ruling

The Municipal Court Of Appeals,
in one of its rare outbursts against
a fellow jurist, yesterday criticized
Judge Walter j. Casey of Mu-
nicipal Court for keeping a decision
in a civil suit under advisement for
more than year.
While the appellate court upheld
Judge Casey's dismissal of an arch
itect's suit claiming $718 in fees
which he said were owed him by a
liquor firm here, it had this, among
other things, to say about the de-
lay:
mo doubt losing litigants (and
for that matter successful ones, too)
would have greater confidence in
court decisions, and less reason to
complain, if decisions were not so
long delayed.
No Legal Issues.
"This is especially true in a case
like this in which there were no
legal issues, and consequently no
research work to be done, and the
single factual issue was far from
intricate" The opinion was written
by Chief Judge Nathan Cayton.
Records show that Judge Casey
held the trial on February IL, 1947,
at the conclusion of which he re-
marked: "Well, I will look into 1t
and let you know"
It was not until last February ia
that he ruled against the architect
Victor Eberhard, of 1910 Twentieth
street NV, who had sued Jacob
Mehlman and Max Spar, owners OF
Modern Liquor Store, 1901 Ninth
street NV, for his fee in making
remodeling plans for the store.
Delay Issue Raised.
The delay issue was raised in MIR.
Eberhard's request for new trial,
in which he said that, because of
the one years lapse, Judge Casey
might not have been able to recall
the trial conduct of witnesses when
he finally made his decision.
The Appeals Court agreed with
the architect on that point, COM
menting that trial Judge prob
ably cannot over so long a period"
judge the credibility of witnesses
with the same assurance that he
could if he decided the case while
all the circumstances were fresher
in his mind"
Judge Cayton concluded that,
although 1--WE cannot and do not
approve the long delay in the case"
the court felt that the delay alone
did not justify a new trial.
Judge Casey yesterday said he
preferred" not to discuss the case
or the Appeals Courts comments.

Daughter Blasts WoIIoce,s Foes
For Lies, but Won't Campaign
Jeon Douglas Defends
Fother as Being too
Honest for Politics
By Mary Cremmen

Henry Wallace,s only daughter,
Jean, poked her head through q row
Of her fathers famous hybrid corn
and said: I'm against being inter-
viewed, but this time I'll tell what
I'm thinking. because I am so tired
Of people misjudging dad. After all,
you've got to defend your own"
Tall. blown-eyed Jean Douglas Is
young enough to be in her 20's but
old enough not to tell exactly where.
She is working with her husband.
Leslie, q Washington broker, in the
model vegetable garden MIR. Wallace
converted from q dump several years
ago. They live at $500 Woodley
road NV.
While I stood by . patch Of cross
bred Strawberries, another Wallace
improvement, Jean declared, II don't
mind people having different ideas,
but I'll never be able to understand
how men who used to agree with Dad
now call him stupid and dishonest.
The only thing can think of is that
newspapers and radio stations are
controlled by those vested interests
which hate.
Fear for Profits.
'They know perfectly well that
Dad isn't stupid. That's Just a
cover-up. They know what he's
driving at, all right-men like those
who benefit from Arabian and Indian
oil-and they're scared stiff because,
when he wins, it will be the end Of
their enormous profits"
This was the moment I decided to
pop question. "How in the world
do your father and your investment
broker husband get along?"
Leslie" she replied Immediately,
wants a stable economy. He hates
seeing the stock market keep going
down, down, down, and he agrees
with Dad that it's caused by our
so-called bipartisan policies"
Jean is a girl who laughs most Of
the time, but there were no smiles
when she said, Articles like the one
entitled, Hank Wallace and his
lunatic fringe enrage me. I could
never campaign for any one as close
to me as my Dad, because when I
hear such damnable lies about him
I can't take it.
"That Communist slant infuriates
me. He's just far-sighted. Presi-
dent Roosevelt realized that and
sent him several letters saying so.
After all, it was Dad who said, as
soon as the war ended, that we
should send food and farm equip
ment to Europe. At that time Glare
Booth Luce called it 'globaloney.
Today. three years later, the country
is agreeing with him.
"But the politicians needn't worry
that he'll say I told you so.' He's
not only too big a man for that, but
he's also too busy looking ahead.
He is always completely absorbed
trying to think up ways to better
chickens genetically-or corn, or the
common man. Truman relaxes by
playing poker, and I suppose Dewey
does something or other; but Dad
never rests.
IT guess another thing against
him is that he is no backslapper. I
know the American public likes
regular guy but Dad is no poll

prised he Is in politics. He's Just
too honest.
"Only a few people have the nerve
to say he Is benef1tting himself. I'm
sure he won't capitalize on his name
by writing memoirs like Morgenthau
and Ickes. II Dad writes book,
I'll bet it will be about history in
stead Of himself"
I asked her If she thought her
father should have left the Demo-
cratic Party.
She paused moment before
countering. do you remember the
play, State of the Union and how
the presidential candidates wife
told him to be honest above all
while his idea was to play along
with the politicians until he reached
the White House and then be
honest?
Bolt Affected Truman.
dad couldn't do this. He had to
get out of the party and be true to
himself. If Roosevelt were still alive
this would probably never have
happened. People shouldn't forget
that Dads boiling the party GER
tainly forced Truman to be more
acute. Otherwise he would have
been able just to slide through the
rest Of the term without doing any
thing about civil rights.
Although I believe in the two
party system, I think that my
fathers third party is a necessary
exception. So many people are al
for it. Dad has received money
from more individuals-instead OF
from certain interests - than the
Democratic and Republican Parties
combined. Last month there was q
dinner for him right here in Wash
ington and people got so excited
and gave money so fast that 1t
frightened me-"
Except for four years at Connec-
ticut College, where she studied art,
Jean has been in Washington since
1888. In 1889 she had q debut here
and IS months ago her wedding was
one Of the biggest social events of
the season. Lately she has been
cut of various social lists around
town.
Some people" she explained,
don't think we're politically ad-
vantageous. But 1t doesn't bother
me at all. I never did like big
parties. In the spring and summer
Leslie and I would much rather
spend every hour we can farming;
and, in the winter, we are always
busy"

Fight on Power Plant
Smokesfacks Seen
Headed for Court

Inc dispute over the height o1
smokeStacks at new power plant
under construction near the Wash
ington National Airport today ap.
peared headed for court.
The Civil Aeronautics Admins
tration yesterday told Alexandria
city officials that unless the city
would allow the proposed height o1
the stacks to be lowered from 1876
feet to 162 feet, it probably would
be necessary to condemn air rights
over Alexandria.
In response to CAA request that
the 162-foot stack be permitted for
a trial period to determine If the
gases would create q nuisance
Mayor William T. wilkins declared
the City Council had refused to
lower the 1876 foot minimum height
requirement last March and he
saw no reason at this time to
change the city's position.
John M. Hunter, of the CAA legal
division, said new bill enacted by
Congress would permit condemna-
ton of air rights above 162 feet
over the city. He said the Interior
Department is Withholding issuance
of water intake permit from the
Potomac River to the Braddock
Light & Power Co., for its new
plant at the request of CAA.
CAA officials reviewed their
reasons why a 195-foot stack would
interfere with the successful and
safe operation Of the Washington
National Airport. Major interfer-
ence would be with radar and in
strument landing services, it was
brought out.
Mayor Wilkins asked II CAA had
considered the possibility of relo-
eating the landing strip which uses
an approach zone in which the
smokestacks are located. He was
told this had been studied and the
cost found to be prohibitive.
The matter of the noise of
planes passing over Alexandria
came up again at yesterdays meet
ing. Mayor Wilkins at the March
meeting declared that the higher
stacks would keep the planes from
flying too low over the city. He
told CAA officials at that time that
Alexandria had received no relief
from low-f1ying planes after re-
peatedly complaining of them.
s. L. Seltzer, air traf11c control ex-
pert at the airport, said yesterday
that since March q new approach
pattern had been instituted so that
all planes flying in and out OF the
airport would pass over the Potomac
river until they were outside the
city limits.
He was interrupted In his ex-
planation Of the new pattern by
the noise Of plane passing over
the city hall.
MIR. Hunter asked did anyone
get his number?"
The traffic control expert asserted
that while the new pattern had be-
come effective, it was a problem
to enforce 1t. He said the CAA
was conducting an education pro-
gram among pilots so they would
closely follow flight patterns when
ever possible.
After the suggestion Of permit
ting 162-foot stacks for q trial
period was made, a Braddock Light
& Power Co. spokesman declared he
felt the power company had CO.
operated with CAA because the
company had reduced the height
of its stacks originally from 284
feet to the present 195-foot plan.
Alexandria Smoke Control Engi-
neer John j. Kelly said a reduction
of the height below 1876 feet would
definitely cause a nuisance from
escaping gases.
