E. Smith, So, reputed to have
been connected with prostitution
here for the last 20 years, today

convicted on a seven-count indict-
ment in 1948 charging pandering.
She is under sentence of 20
months to five years.
The appeals court rejected all
defense claims, including one that
a mistrial should have been de-
sclared because Government en-
gployes and women served on the
fury.

AS New Psychiatry
Chief at Ga||inger

DR.. Gerhart j. Gordon reported
for duty today as Gallinger Hos
pitfalls new chief medical officer
in psychiatry.
The 46-year-old physician filled
a post which had been vacant
for more than two years, and re-
lieves Dr., Joseph l.. Gilbert of re-
sponsibility for the department
The Commissioners voted in De-
cember. 1947. that DR.. Gilbert
should devote full time to his job
as District alienist, but a replace
ment for the Gallinger job never
was appointed.
| Medical authorities here have
praised DR.. Gordon's appointment
as the first significant step in a
campaign to improve Gallinger's
heavily criticized psychiatric pro-
gram.
DR.. Gordon came here after is
years service at the Delaware
State Mental Hospital. While he
visited Gallinger two months ago,
he said today his first move will
be to "get acquainted with the
program and learn it's needs" be-
fore deciding action to improve
the service.
When his appointment was
disclosed last month, DR.. Gordon
told The Star he hopes to develop
an active program of treatment
for acutely i'll patients. He also
cited the need for an expanded
teaching program. which probably
would rely largely on personnel
from st. Elizabeths Hospital and
medical schools here.
DR.. Gordon said that tempo
rarily he will reside at the hos
pital.

FriiendWounded
Police Say Widower
May Have Tried to Kill
Woman Companion

An Arlington man was shot
fatally yesterday and a woman
friend was wounded in what
county police said apparently was
attempted murder and suicide.
Charles Elmer Cartwright, As,
of 800 North Piedmont street, an
unemployed sheet metal worker,
died in Arlington Hospital at 1922
pm, four hours after the shoot
ing.
Mrs. Clara Biggs Burkley, 36,
of 1885 North Stuart street, Ar
lington, was in Arlington Hos
pital with a bullet wound in her
head. She was reported in good
condition and the hospital said
her wound was not. serious.
Investigation Continues.
Police Chief Harry L. woodward
said the case was apparently one
of attempted murder and suicide.
Police continued an investigation
and DR.. W. C. Wellburn, county
coroner, had not issued a certifi-
cate.
Police gave the following ac-
count:
Two policemen in a scout car
Pvts. Richard Frederick and Leroy
j. Rasmussen, were hailed by a
motorist, who told them there had
been shooting. He directed them
to the 570O block of North Carlin
Spring road. They were nearby
when halted by John Borecki
5708 North Eighth road.
When the policemen arrived on
Carlin Spring road, they reported
they found Cartwright slumped
unconscious, over the wheel of a
parked car and Mrs. Burkley wan
dering in a daZe near the auto
mobile.
Pistol in Glove Compartment.
Cartwright had a bullet wound
behind his right ear and she had
wound in the left side of her
head, the policemen reported. In
the glove compartment of the We
hicle was found a .32 caliber pistol
from which two shots had been
fired.
Police could not explain how the
weapon got in the glove compart-
ment. They theorized, however
that Mrs. Burkley may have
placed it there while dazed.
Police quoted Mrs. Burkley as
saying, He was going to take his
life and my life also. I don't
know why"
Relatives quoted Mrs. Burkley
as telling them from her hospital
bed that Cartwright fired at her
first and then shot himself.
Both Widowed.
They quoted her as saying, only
a quick movement saved my life. u
Relatives said Cartwright and
Mrs. Burkley had been "going to-
gether' for about two years. Both
were widowed.
Mrs. Burkley. Veterans Ad-
ministration employe, has two
children, Edward, IL, and Carol,
7. Her husband died three years
ago.
Cartwright lived with his moth
er, Mrs. Mabel Small. He has a
daughter, Mrs. Hazel Moore, Nor
man, Okla.

ANNUAL MEETING
OF R.E.A. DRAWS.
CROWD OF $500

A huge crowd, the largest IN
the history of the local REA CO.
operative, turned out recently at
Old Dock, High School in Column
bus County to take action upon
matters pertaining to the aftalrs
of the cooperative.
The membership heard the re-
ports of their affairs and d.
rectors, elected by secret ballot
eleven directors to manage the
cooperative affairs during the
next twelve months, and passed
on other business.
During the meeting the Column
bus County band furnished en-
tertainment for the membership
with several pieces OF march
music. The auditorium was filled
with so many people that the
band, which assembled outside,
could not at first reach the stage
or front of the auditorium. Sew.
eral pieces of music were played
outside before officials could
clear a path through the crowd
so the band could reach the
stage.
The Beaver Dam Church choir
opened the meeting by singing
several hymns.
The central thought through
out the program was that the
cooperative job would not be
done until the last rural home in
it's service area desiring lectri-
CITY was served. The officials
went beyond this vision of the
future. President J. L. Robinson
spoke of the day when the coop
erative could provide ample cur
rent at a rate which all could
afford, and Manager E. D. Bis
hop said that the coop had now
secured qualified personnel
which would enable them to not
only provide better service but
furnish the membership with in
formation about profitable uses
of electricity.
Representative F. Ertel Car
lyle of Lumberton was the prin-
cipal speaker of the day. He as
sured the REA audience, estl-
mated to number between 5000
and 1000, that as long as they
attended their meetings in such
large numbers and took part in
it's affairs as they did that day
their cooperative Would always
be a success.
