Finds Pound Cut Hits Trip

A study of teaching methods at
Gallaudet College and similar
schools for the deaf in the United
States may have to be cut short
for Bipin Behary Choudhury Of
Cuttack, India. because Of devalu-
alton OF the pound.
Mr.. Choudhury, who is deaf but
speaks several languages, edits a

school for the deaf in India, has
been here since last Friday. He
still hopes to visit schools in Chi
cago and California. But friends
at Gallaudet College said today
his plans are "up in the air. be-
cause of the pound devaluation
and he may have to return to
India sooner than he had expected.

more than ordinary interest to
him. More than 20 years ago a
graduate of that college taught
him to speak English. The As
year-old educator has devoted his
life to the education Of deaf mutes
in his own country. India, he
said, has only As schools and al
most 5000 900 deaf people. The

Grand Jury Restudy
Of County Gambling
Ordered by Marbury

Judge Charles C. Marbury told
new grand jury in Prince
Georges County Circuit Court to-
day that it should reconsider
and re-examine" the report of the
April grand jury which recon-
mended State lottery and said
that gambling in Prince Georges
had been brought to an almost
irreducible minimum"
The judge madet he statement
in a charge to the grand jury,
headed by Kent r. Mullikin OF
Laurel, at the opening of the Oc-
tober term.
Referring to the April 5ury's
comment that a State wide lot
terry might provide some tax re-
lief to the people. Judge Mar
bury said the new body should
consider whether the reduction
would be Offset by graft and petty
gambling.
He urged the members to review
the history of the United States
to "see whether this country be-
came great by following gambling
practices"
He also questioned whether eco
nomic stability would be main
tanned If substantial portion OF
the people engaged in games OF
chance rather than things worth
while" The whole subject, he
said. has aspects broader than the
matter Of taxation.
He also directed attention to
the possible effects of a State
wide lottery on future legislation
and enforcement Of existing laws.

Mental Patient and
Invites Appeal

District Court Judge T. Alan
Goldsborough today ordered a
patient released from st. Eliza
beths Hospital without referring
the matter to the Mental Health
Commission, the procedure pre-
Scribed by the Court of Appeals In
another case.
The patient released is D. Far
son Boddie, 80. former Navy
civilian employe. Psychiatrists
for the Government and for Mr.
Boddie testified in a habeas corpus
hearing that Mr.. Boddie was not
dangerous. Hospital physicians
however, took the view that he
needed further treatment.
Ruling in effect that a District
Court judge has absolute authority
in such an action, Judge Colds
borough said.
II don't know whether the
Government will appeal this case
or not. AS far as this judge is
concerned. the court would like
1t done because the court has
grave doubt that If the matter
was before the Court of Appeals
again it would make the same
decision it did before"
Mr.. Boddie was committed to
Gallinger Hospital last March for
mental observation. following an
argument in a hotel here. A dis
orderly conduct charge was placed
against him, but was dropped later
In June he was found to be Of un-
sound mind and ordered to ST.
Elizabeths. A report from the
hospital quoted Mr.. Boddie as
telling of breaking windows and
threatening two doctors at Gal
linger.
In releasing Mr.. Boddie Judge
Goldsborough asked that he re-
main in this jurisdiction pending
possible Court of Appeals action.
Mr.. Boddie was not required to
post bond. the court having been
assured that his aunt, Mrs. Thom-
as A. Grower of the Wardman
Park Hotel, would look after his
welfare.

have been caused by an infection

mumps a short time after he en-
tered the hospital.
Such nerve damage could be
brought on by mumps, he said,
but it would be expected ordinar-
lily to occur after the symptoms
of mumps were evident. A few
cases have been reported, how

Mr.. Chandler said hospitaliza-

accept only part payment from
the disqualification plan there
after. Doctors pointed out that

expenses of many such cases.

One of the hardest working pa
tients in the Children's Hospital
physical therapy department is
4-year-old Joe Chandler, who was
stricken last month by a mysteri-
Gus disability which paralyzed him
from his waist down.
Every day Joe goes through a
series of exercises to develop the
muscles of his arms and chest and
to keep in as good shape as pos
sible the leg muscles he no longer
can use.
Children's Hospital doctors have
only a few clues to the tragic dis
ability-one of the strangest they
have seen at the hospital.
"Jo-Jo," as the other children
in his ward call him, lost the use
of his legs August S, few hours
after he was playing happily with
his 1-year-old brother. Stephen,
in their home at 5785 Second

Complains Of Back.
His father. Joseph Chandler,

sofa to amuse little Stephen,
when he suddenly complained

while" Mr.. Chandler said. Dur

The next morning, he said his
feet felt like they were tingling
Then, he couldn't move his legs.
We took him to the hospital. but
that was it."
Joe's doctor at the hospital
said it is felt the paralysis may
have been caused by a ruptured
blood vessel in the spinal cord,
which damaged nerve f1bers.
Through some unexplainable mis-
hap, he said, it may have been
brought on by the usually harm
less Somersault.
