Senator Kefauver also said soms
changes now were being made II
the segregation status in the Dis.
trict and that the proposed coun.
Gil probably would be less likely
to make changes in segregation
practices than was possible under
the present situation. AT least. h.
said. such changes probably woule
come slower"
Senator Johnston said he die
not consider the home rule bill
to be strictly civil rights meas.
ure, but added that he thought
his amendment was a good one
since 1t would let the people have
a referendum as to whether seq
regation practices should bs

adopted. his answer was definite
mo. I am not for home rule.

Sparkman. Democrat, Of Alabama
said he planned to vote for thu

as detailed a study of the bill a,
he would like. but added that gen.
orally speaking" he is for home
rule.
He said. he thought the bill q.
offered by the Senate Districl
Committee was a pretty gooe
compromise plan" that gave thu
District some degree Of self gov
eminent. under constitutions
limitations. and that he has
planned to support it. .
Senator Sparkman made n,
comment on the Johnston East
land amendments because he hat

ber Of District bills that were
considered or passed by the 80tfl

hotel room: that he left Hattman
lying on the floor: that he took
Hattman's money. glasses and
knife. and that he locked the
door and left"
Mr.. Cfissman said the story
DR.. Rutledge told of the fight was
beyond any human experience
and so beyond the credulity OF
any intelligent persons as to be
ridiculous"
He asserted the doctor went to
Cedar Rapids stealthily. lay in
wait for his victim. and killed him
with knife wound "expertly in
flicted."
The prosecutor also said the
defense had made violent and
vicious attacks on the character
Of a man deceased"
Says Pursuit Continued.
The defense had contended that
Hattman continued to pursue
Mrs. Rutledge after the seduction
and finally began to make money
demands on DR.. Rutledge.
According to the defense story,
his first price to leave the Rut-
ledges alone was 5000, but later
the sum was raised to $4,000. DR..
Rutledge testified the demands
persisted through November.
HE said if I'd give him $4,000
he'd go to California-he said he
had a girl out there" the pedia-
trician told the jury.
Prosecution Counters Story.
The meeting in the hotel was
to discuss this matter and HIATT
man attacked DR.. Rutledge in the
course of this discussion, the de-
fense insisted.
The prosecution countered by
introducing Hattman's attorney,
who testified that DR.. Rutledge
demanded money from Hattman
for an operation on Mrs. Rut-
ledge when the Rutledges er-
roneously believed her to be preg-
nant after the seduction.
Mr.. Barngrover declared the
States case was built entirely on
elements of reasonable doubt"
He said the doctor told you the
true story Of what happened in
that hotel room-that he was at
tackled by this lewd, lascivious
man. that he fought in self de-
fense. and that he went away not
knowing Hattman had been
stabbed while. they grappled over
the knife Hattman drew against
him."
"You can't convict this young
man on circumstantial evidence
and that's the only kind of evil
|dence the State has," Mr.. Barn.
grover said.
Throughout the long trial
Mrs. Rutledge. usually clad in a
white blouse and black ballerina
skirt. has been at her husband s
side. The only exceptions were
when he gave his own testimony.

Montgomery Council
Votes 10 Take Title
To Liquor Building

The Montgomery County Coun-
Gil yesterday enacted into law the
controversial bill directing the
County Liquor Board to relinquish
title to the 100000 dispensary
building in Silver Spring.
The charter-backed council thus
adopted a proposal turned down
two months ago by the Democra-
tic-controlled General Assembly of
Maryland.
In doing so, it paved the way
for a probable court test Of the
extent of its legislative authority
under the new home rule" gov
ernment.
The council passed the bill.
60, after Frederic p. Lee. council
president, denounced the Demo-
cratic Party organization, in gen.
eral. and County Chairman j..
Bond Smith, in particular, for de-
priving the county of the title
and fighting to prevent its return.
School Bond Issue.
The dispensary legislation cli-
NAKED a day in which the coun-
Gil authorized a $735,000 bond
issue for immediate construction
of six classroom units in the most
crowded school areas, and made
a supplemental appropriation OF
s151 900 so the Board Of Education
can order "a new school buses
and school furniture.
Action was deferred until to-
morrow and Tuesday on several
controversial bills. These include
q plan for nonpartisan council
elections. and a politically-explos-
i've plan to relieve the Washing
ton Suburban Sanitary Commits
sion of its refuse-collectipg func-
tions.
Tomorrow's meeting is sched-
uled for 2 pm. The councils final
legislative session will be held
Tuesday.
other Laws Enacted.
Among the laws enacted yester-
day was one prescribing penalties
for persons who violate a section
of the charter forbidding political
activity by county employees.
Another was a measure which
enables the council to adopt or
dinances for building, fire. cleo
trical, plumbing and other codes
in all parts of the county outside
the Maryland Washington re-
gional district. This makes pos
sible the zoning OF the entire
county.
A third measure regulates auc-
ton sales and a fourth makes
technical amendments to the law
on collection, disbursement and
deposit of county funds.
An amendment to the original
liquor dispensary title bill was
adopted to assure the Maryland
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission that it will not
be evicted from its quarters in the
building. The commission, how
ever, will be required to pay rent
fixed by the council from year to
year" The agency is paying no
rent at present.
Before the final vote. Mr.. Lee
made some observations IN defense
of Councilman j. Douglas Brad
shaw, sponsor of the legislation.
who was assailed last week by
Democratic Chairman Smith.
Mr.. Lee asserted MIR. Smiths
charges were not supported by
fact and added that. the council
would be grossly neglectful and
would fail in its duty to the peo-
ple' If it did not reclaim the title.

eucalyptus are only a few feet in !
height while some rival Califor-

from the various eucalyptus. Many
trees hang their leaves vertical

MAKE u. S. BETTER

LAST WINTER I read an article
in a leading magazine stating how
few people in the United States read
newspapers or listened to radios. 1t
was SO small a percentage it was
unbelievable, but when 1 see let
tiers in papers like the ones answer
ing Mrs. Archer I certainly can be-
lieve it.
Some suggested Mrs. Archer go to
Russia if she didn't like the best
country in the world and compared
the United States to Russia. How
can they compare the best country
in the world with the poorest one?
Although we have the best country
we should not be satisfied; we
should make it better.
That's what we should do with
the good old U. S. A.-make it bet
ter. But I do not think we can do
it the way our top statesmen are
going at it. I cannot quite figure
out if President Truman's appointed
statesmen hate the United States so
much they are deliberately trying to
bankrupt us, or if they are paying
the European countries all their bill
lions for going communistic just to
keep the United States the best
country.
After we give them all our money
and resources what r we going to
protect ourselves with when they
start to bite the hand that fed
them?

Well, I've been here just about 80
years, have a nice little bunch of
cattle, a fair set of farm equipment,
several sections of farm and grazing
land, and, am happy to say, fairly
healthy for an old fellow, and don't
owe any money.
But it wasn't as easy as all that.
I plainly remember it took me a year
to save enough money to pay Tor a
team of broncs. Also, after working
early and late for about five years,
I finally had to deed my homestead
to an engine company to avoid fore
closure. The way up from there was
slow and painful, but after 20 nor
years it got so I could actually go
into a bank and borrow money. How
many of us old homesteaders were
in a position to command a $4,000
loan? We know very few.
I'm glad to hear the boy is making
good. I'm glad to hear he has been
able to finance his start, and Ina
sure he is not required to pay IL
percent interest ON his 1oan-as l
was obliged to do to get $3.50 to
make communication proof OF my
homestead. I'm sure / would have
been glad to put the $4,000 on the
line to help my boy get started if
he had been lucky enough to come
home from the war, which he wasn't.
So now I have my ranch, I'm out
of debt, my rather large family have
grown up and gone-and, by the
way, Mr.. Editor, do you happen
to know a good young man who
would like to buy a going ranch,
well stocked with H~erefords, plenty
of farm and irrigation equipment, a
couple sections of farmland mostly
under cultivation, and offered to the
right party on reasonable terms if
he can finance the livestock and
equipment?
I'm getting along in years and
would like to have a vacation. The
fact is I've lost most of the enthu-
siasm aforementioned and seem to
get tired pretty easy. I've come to
the conclusion that a little new blood
would be a fine thing for the old
place. AN OLD HOMESTEADER.
