\ exus Lawyer in Hearing Row
j Fights Labor Board Discipline

A Texas lawyer, accused of
klnching an NLRB counsel in
e eye during a hearing, has
red District Court to enjoin the
Rrd from taking further dis
Plinary action.
attorney John L. Camp of
ouston seeks to forestall NLRB
foceedings, during which he
|ould have to show cause why
e should not be barred from
ractice before the board.
MIR. Camp countered the boards
Wlgder with a request that the Dis
trtct Court order the NLRB to
stiow cause. why it should not be
enjoined from going ahead with
its Show-cause order.
ss The wraagle arose last Octo-
ber 20 at an examiners hearing
! In the Rankin (Tex0 Courthouse
Mr.. Camp, At, represented an oil
scoDav. then the target of a
CIO oilworkerS' union. NLRB
.Counsei e. Don Wilson, SO, was
prosecuting the unions charges
of unfair labor practices, involv-
ing the anegedly discriminatory"
discharge of certain employees.
Papers on file in the case de-
scsibed the climax of the hearing
tkis way:
: As a result of Mr.. Wilson's
esbusive, insulting and OCCASION
ally sfieering" handling of the
cUnpany's witnesses, Mr.. Camps
temper finally snapped at the
"snarling remark" that his wit
nesses had lied all the way
through"
Mr.. Camp conceded that, at
this point, he showed" Mr.. Will
son so as to bring them face to
face, then cut loose with hard
right to Mr.. Wilson's left eye,
(which rapidly blackened. The
papers noted in passing that Mr..
Wilson's first words on rising
from the floor were "That was
a silly thing to do"
While admitting the blow. Mr..
Camp vigorously denied the other
lawyers claim that he had also
Evening star., 1950-03-17

been kicked. He had statements
from witnesses to emphasize this
point.
The board seeks to discipline
Mr.. Camp on charges that he,
without provocation. punched
Mr.. Wilson in the eye, knocking
him to the floor, pounced on him
and was trying to punch and kick
him until physically restrained. !"
According to Attorney C. E.
Rhetts, the examiner excluded
Mr.. Camp from further participa-
ton in the hearing. Consequent
ly, the attorney says, the labor
board has no authority to take
further disciplinary action.

1888 Bank Robbery
Defendant Cleared as
Identification Fails

A 47-year-old man today stands
cleared of charges of participating
in a 1888 bank robbery here be-
cause of the "insuficiency" Of his
identification after II years.
District Court Judge Alexander
Holtzof yesterday granted q de-
fense motion for acquittal Of the
accused man. John Jose oh
Barr, jr.
Barr had been accused with
four others in the $7.639 robbery
on April 6. 1888. of the old WASH
ington Mechanics Bank at Eighth
and G streets Sc. now a branch
of the City Bank. which took 1t
over.
Four Others Sentenced.
Four other persons who were
charged with Barr pleaded guilty.
the last of them entering plea
in 1941. according to Assistant
United States Attorney John D.
Lane, who was prosecuting Barr.
All of the others were sentenced
to serve time for the robbery,
which took place while an Army
Day parade was in progress here.
The Government had charged
that Barr stood watch on the
door at the bank while others
forced a bank teller to open q
vault, leaped over the counter to
obtain the money and forced bank
customers to face the wall.
Barr had not been brought to
trial here IN the intervening years
because he was serving time in
Pennsylvania for a bank robbery
in Philadelphia. While on parole
in 1914 for the Philadelphia job,
he was accused of burglary and
his parole revoked, Mr.. Lane said
Barr finally was returned here
last year.

Let's Give Nome
 Children A Break!

In not-so-long-ago radio ad- dress, Governor Ernest Gruening made a plea to citizens of Alaska fo ra "break" for Alaska's chil- dren. The Nome Committee of the Alaska Commission on Children and Youth is making a plea at the present time to citizens of Nome to give Nome's children ''break." This "break" will be helped along by every Nome citizen who backs up with his cooperation the local committee on plans for needed recreation.
 AS Governor Gruening stated, "If we are going to establish the American way of life in Alaska as an effective answer to the police state tyranny that is firmly en- trenching itself on the other side of Boring Strait, and prove by ac- tions that we know our system to be better, we can no longer delay in giving our youngsters the "break" which should be every child's heritage.
 =. "We are all aware that all our Alaskan communities have been short of recrational facilities for the youngsters .. . If the American idea means anything, 1 am sure it means that each gen. eration of Americans wants to do a little better for it's children than it was done by. It should mean that each succeeding generation shall have the benefit of all the opportunities for self-develop- ment that have been achieved by our society,""
 Article TX of The Children's Charter. of the White House Con- ferences on Child Health and Protection, resolves:
 "For every child a community which recognizes and plans for his needs, protects him against physi- cal dangers, moral hazards, and disease; provides him with safe and wholesome place for play and recreation; and makes provision for his cultural and social needs"
