Robertson Testifies
He Can Recall Saying
He Fired at Wife

Clarence w. Robertson declared
at his second d-degree murder trial
in District Court today that he
did not remember telling police
he fired lone or two shots" at
his wife, Mrs. Lizzie Lucille Rob-
ertson, and Marine Pvt. Everett
L. Flagg last March.
A police statement written at
that time quotes Robertson as
saying he fired one or two shots
at leach of them" Robertson
testified today that when police
questioned him after the shooting
he was sleepy, thirsty, felt weak
and wanted to lie down"
He also said, in reply to ques-
tions by Defense Attorney James
j. Laughlin, that police had prom
ised him he could 60 after he
made a statement.
Fatal Shooting RecolIected.
The 35-year- -old defendant Is on
trial for the fatal shooting of Mrs,
Robertson last March 20 in her
apartment at 1925 Eleventh street
NV. He also is being tried for
shooting and wounding Pvt. Flagg,
%, who was in the apartment with
Mrs. Robertson and another
couple.
Robertson, a former Washing
ton Gas Light Co. employe, testi-
fed yesterday he had not intended
to shoot his wife. He asserted lie

threw her arms around Pvt. Flage
who had been shot in the chest
and stomach.

in the trial that Robertson tolt
him he had shot Mrs. Robertson
because she was living in adul

Yesterday. before Robertson
took the stand, DR.. Frank 5. Ca.
prio. a psychiatrist, testified he
believed Robertson was temper
arily insane at the time of the
shooting, although he is of sound
mind now. DR.. Caprio testified
he thought Robertson's temper
ary insanity resulted from a

adultery in the presence of the

is when he is called in by the
general practitioner. when the
family doctor" discovers a con-
dition too delicate or complicated
for normal methods.
Now suppose, really needing
aid, you get doctor on the wire,
what then? Do you know how to
present your case? Most physi-
clans say you don't.
Know the Facts
livery professional man in the
world wants facts when a patient
calls him. Instead of, Il don't
feel we'll. Doctor" or, Come
quick! I'm sick!' you should be
able to tell him your tempera-
ture, your pulse rate, the exact
location of your pain and the
history of it.
Furthermore, he wants to de-
eide - himself - whether or not
you really need him. And this
brings us back to where we came
in, to the drunks and the "shop-
pers" and all the rest of them.
As one man told me, ''People
holler for doctor the way
they do for a plumber. Come
at once! they say. They call the
doctor because he knows more
medicine than they do; yet they
insist on judging the necessity of
house call themselves"
The doctor must remain free to
make up his own mind on the
urgency of the case. There may be
someone else who really needs
him.
And the final request the doc
tors make, strangely enough, is
that you pay your bill.
They Have obEgations
DOCTORs are somehow considered
Grass when they raise this point.
They are supposed to be above
such mundane considerations. Yet
they do have families and obliga-
tions of their own. My own father
died of heart disease after over
working to support his wife and
children. There was over 100000
in fees owing him at his death. If
he. could have collected his bills,
he might be alive today.
The doctor will help you glad
ly, unselfshly, day or night. He
asks only that you learn how to
tell him your trouble honestly
and clearly, and that you do not
call him without cause. Is it too
much to ask? The End

seeks such information from their
public. that it will investigate COM
plaiats in detail. that any proved
valid will bring either severe public
reprimand to the doctor or expul-
sion from the society.
Doctors know the seriousness
of expulsion. Severance of county
ties means automatic dropping
from The American Medical Asso-
citation. 1t usually means loss of
individual hospital facilities and a
sharp rise in premiums for NAL
practice insurance. Last. it means
the permanent and discomhting
scrutiny of the state medical exam
lining boards.
These rigid controls have
been deliberately set up by the
medical profession itself for
your protection. Because Of
them. doctors feel that you, too,
have responsibilities when you re-
quest their services.
Physicians across the country
want to ask you two questions:
Do you really need a doctor when
you call one? And, do you actually
know how TO get a medical man in
an emergencyo
What Do You Do?
NO ETHICAL professional man
refuses aid when the plea is sim
cere. All he asks is that you learn
a few basic facts to make things
easier for both of you.
Suppose you are stranger in
a town and suddenly become
honestly i'll. How do you find
someone to relieve your distress?
There is one absolutely certain
way: call your county medical
association. The county societies
guarantee that anyone in real
need can have a competent
physician by his side within
an hour.
Doctors add, don't call a spe-
cialist in an emergency, unless
you are dealing with a specific
age bracket (as with a child, for
instance) or unless you are aff1ict-
ed with a previously diagnosed
ailment.
Why? Well. suppose you are
stricken with a pain in your back.
1t could stem from wrenched
muscles, a misplaced vertebra,
heart disease, or from a number
of other things. The man best
fitted to determine the correct
cause is the general practitioner.

several pictures were taken of

nicely.
A very necessary requirement

ing an excellent job in compos-

1t will take quite a long time
to get around to all Local II

ished we intend to go into other
CIO shops where there is enough
interest indicated.
Office workers are taking a
great interest in the pictures. A
good shot while working at
desk makes a very presentable
picture. We have no intention or
confining our activities exclu-
sively to our own members.
Some offices in Local IL shops
are not members of our union
but they want our p / tures e.
While we are working in shop
we clean the whole thing up by
taking the pictures of all who
want them. We think this is good
business because it puts just
that many more soc pieces in the
camp fund.
We would like for all, who
can, to participate. Eventually we
will get around to your plant.
Samples will be posted on the
bulletin board for your examin-
alton we'll in advance. Larger
shops must thru necessity be
worked by departments to facil-
itate the work properly. We will
cooperate with any other union
and it should be said here that
in the past the camp received
monetary support from A. F. of
L. members, from the MESA.

British Labor Govt
Ahead OF Us In Child
Nutrition Activities

The hundred-odd American
school teachers who have ex-
changed classrooms with British
teachers find one especially ina
preSsive result of the Labor govs
ernment's innovations in the
school meal program. Every child
receives free milk every day.
And increasing numbers receive
very inexpensive school lunches;
when it is possible to provide
these in all schools, the Labor
Minister of Education has prom
ised that they will be free to all
Schoolchildren.
1t is to this, and other parts
of the Labor program for giving
the, new generation every ad-
vantage, that Britons point as
reasons for their rising birth
rate. Thus, says the Labor party,
a nation living under conditions
of deep austerity, with many
shortages and plenty of anxiety,
is yet about to keep young Bri-
tain in far better state of healt54
and happiness than in the yeary
between wars and to plant in the
heart of parents so strong a
sense of security, that they do
not fear to bring new life into
the world"

Langhorst, has gone into sew
eral shops, who have Local
IL contracts, and taken many
fine photographs in the inter-
est of Local II S u m m e r
Camp. Management has been
very cooperative for it seems to
me they realize this is helping
numerous children 60 to camp
this summer.
The photographs we take are
the large glossy 8 inch by 10
inch size and are large enough
to be framed. We charge $1.25
for the photograph delivered to
the plant. About soc of this -
the profits - goes into Local II
Summer Camp fund and, up to
date, we have been very success
full. The employees like the pic
lures.
The nice part of the photos is
this, we do not ask anyone to
accept or pay for their picture
if they think it is unsatisfactory.
So far our reflections have been
negligible. You pay for the pic
ture when you get it and not be-
fore.
We have just as much interest
in the smaller plants as we do in
the larger plants. In this case the
small plants will get as good
service as the larger ones. Short
ly we intend to have nice dis
play of sample photographs in
the dues office of Local IL.
When taking the photographs
we need no names or addresses
because we use a number sys-
tenn. Each print is numbered on
the back and you receive ii as
such in the manner your shop
dispenses the photographs. If al
any future date you would like
to have a reprint all that is nee
essary is for us to know the
number of your photograph.
In some shops we have de.
livered more photographs thar

taking more than one print tc
