What wives think of their

four out of every one hundred
thought their husbands perfect,

wives, husbands worst faults

SelfiShneSS, too domineering,
other women, stinginess, lack of

their wives for granted, COM
plain too much and gambling

The objection to smoking
seems to be mostly due to the
fact that husbands drop ashes

its drawbacks.

Boiling Soldier Fails
To Exclude Confession
In AW0L Trial

A Boiling Air Force Base pri-
vate was unsuccessful today in his
effort to exclude an alleged con-
fession from his court-martial on
AWOL and larceny charges.
The defendant, Pfc. Joe w.
Smith, 10, is accused of taking
money from the bachelor officers
quarters at the base and then
going to his home in Texarkana,
Tex, last September II without
permission.
The purported confession was
read by the trial judge advocate,
Capt. Grover c. Morgan, jr.. after
it was admitted in evidence over
defense objections.
"Dizxy" When Questioned.
Testifying in his own behalf,
Smith said he did not recall"
that his rights to counsel and to
refuse to answer questions were
explained to him before he was
asked to make a statement by Air
Force special investigators. He
added he had been extremely
nervous and very dizzy at the
time.
On cross-examination he said
no pressure or force was used by
the investigators.
Pvt. Smith first came to the
public's attention when he disap-
peared from his post at the Boil
ing bachelor officers quarters. In
vestigating officers discovered on
the cash register q note from the
soldier reading "AWOL 0200, des-
tination God knows" and indi-
eating the amount taken as $3.50.

The next Sunday Pvt. Smith
sent a $50 money order to the
officers club from Cincinnati, and
wired that he was returning "im-
mediately." On his arrival at
Union Station he was taken into
custody and held for a court
martial.

OF the 80 prisoners he bailed out
from Occoquan. he admits, eight

he was still there. g.
The solution. says Mr.. Westbury,
lies in changing the law to permit
longer sentences and change in
the routine at Occoquan to a pro-
gram Of hard labor. Many of the
habitual prisoners. he says, come
from out of town and should be
returned to their homes at Gov
expense on their release.

District Department of Correc-
tions, told a reporter that several
prisoners at Occoquan had been
bailed out recently. but that he
did not know who had paid their
fines.
He denied that the workhouse
is a paradise for buns. or that
