1t would be folly to deny the fact
that Mr. Wallace has many sincere

people are amused and still others

In any case. Mr.. Wallace will make
an aggressive and highly vocal cam

ABORTION,
DUGGER TO n. Y.

Ed Digger, veteran hurdling
star, along with Dave Albritton,
a member of the Dayton Athletic
club, has sent his entry into the
60-yard high hurdle event in the
Knights of Columbus track carni-
val March 6, at Madison Square
Garden, New York. Digger has
won this event in the past four
years. This former ICAA, NCAA
and AAU champion romped home
in IA time in the New York Ath-
letic club meet last Saturday.
Digger has long been a top
runner in the hurdles events. He
has been winning them since his
days at Tufts college in Medford,
Mass. Long and rangy, he has
been a more consistent winner
than most of the top athletes. In
the past two years he has run
some remarkably fast times de-
spit the lack Of practice time he
has spent previous to the races.
Harrison billiard of Baldwin-Wal-
lace, a younger competitor than
Digger, has been one Of the few
runners to beat him in recent
years. Indoors this winter billiard
has only been edging out Digger
by inches. Some track experts have
been declaring recently that if
billiard possessed Duggers' physi-
que he would smash every hurdle
record on the books.

ing performer you could not meet.

John Hall Conviction
In Sex Case Upheld

The United States Court OF Ap-
pleas today affirmed the District
Court conviction of John H. Hall,
"a, colored, who Is scheduled to be
electrocuted January for carnal
knwledge involving an 8-year -old
colored girl.
Hall, whose address Is listed In
the 1900 block of Union street S.W.,
was convicted in November. 1947, by
a jury which recommended the
death penalty.
Hall was convicted Of attacking
the. child in clump OF brushes on
October S, 1916, while she was en-
route to her home in the 600 block
of Kenilworth terrace NE.
The defense contended that the
conviction should be reversed be-
cause of remark made by the
prosecutor, former Assistant United
States Attorney Edward Molenof.
During cross-examination Mr.. Mol
enof had asked the defendant: You
are sex fiend, are you not?" He
referred to prior conviction of Hall
on a similar offense.
The Appeals Court opinion, writ
ten by Judge James M. Proctor,
held that the remark of the prose-
cutor was improper but ruled that
it did not initiate against a fair
trial"
The Court of Appeals pointed out
that the trial judge promptly sus-
tanned objection to the remark,
struck it and informed the jury that
the only question was as to the con-
viction."
The case was heard by Judge Proc
tor, Judge E. Barrett Prettyman,
also of the Court of Appeals, and
Judge Jennings Bailey of the Dis
trict Court, who sat in the appellate
court by special court designation.

IRoundtabIe Debates
School Pupils Release
For Religious Training

Should children be released from
regular school hours to receive re-
ligious training?
This was the question debated
last night on the District Round
table, broadcast over Radio Station
WINK, sponsored by the Junior Bar
Section Of the District Bar Associa-
ton.
Of the five speakers, three argued
against the resolution that "a pro-
gram for released time religious in
struction off the school premises and
during the school hours, should be
adopted"
They were E. Hilton Jackson,
Washington attorney; DR.. Madeline
K. Remmlein, representing the Ma
tional Education Association, and
Gilbert Parks representing Protes-
tants United.
Speaking in favor Of the idea were
William Hannah, Washington at
torney, and George Donegan. a
student at the Georgetown Univer-
sity Law School. Leonard S. Mel
rod, Washington attorney, served as
moderator.
Mr.. Hannah said he felt some pro-
vision should be made for parents
who want their childrenS religion
to go hand-in-hand with their edu-
cation. He proposed that schools
could release children one hour each
week for such training.
Mr.. Donegan added that religious
education was in keeping with the
American tradition. Children re-
ceived most of their training
through their schools, he said, and
religious training should properly be
part Of that program.
Mr.. Parks warned that religious
instruction would tend to emphasize
sectarian differences among the
children. 1t would also become the
schools responsibility to see that
children attended their religious
classes, and this would make for
policing powers, he said.
DR.. Remmlein added that the
schools should not bear any part
of the burden of religious educa-
ton which properly belonged to
the churches. Speaking purely ION
the education angle" she contend
ed that no time could be spared
for outside subjects from the al
ready crowded education programs.
Mr.. Jackson saw danger. in the
of sectarian religious in
terests and public school control.
He also felt that a noncompulsory
program of religious training would
divide the children into religious
and nonreligious groups.
Last March the Supreme Court
ruled that religious training in pub
lie schools was illegal. Released
time instruction outside the schools
has been advanced as a way to
keep religious instruction available
to pupils.
