E. H. Russell, director of the
Westside Branch, Boys Clubs Of
Phoenix, was recently appointed
referee in the Juvenile Court by
Judge Thomas J. Croaff. AS ref
cree the appointee, will be called on
to sit as a deputy for the judge in
hearing various cases that come to
the Juvenile Court.
In commenting on the matter
Mr.. Russell stated "The appoint
ment as referee in the Juvenile
Court in no way alters my duties
and responsibilities to the Boys
Club. I see in this appointment
another opportunity to render
very important service to the COM
munity through help and guidance
to those youngsters, and their par
ents and guardians, who may come
to the attention of the court.
"There is a great deal of mis-
understanding on the part of both
youths and adults as to the pur-
pose and objectives of the Juven-
lie Court.
"The court was not established
primarily to punish children for
their offenses, nor is it intended to
unduly protect them in their acts of
misconduct. While it is often nee
essary to safeguard the public
welfare against acts of misconduct
committed by youngsters, it is like
wise necessary to protect these
youngsters against actions of adults
and conditions in the community
which lead to delinquency.
eff we are to have any success
in dealing with growing children
and the many problems with which
they are confronted from day to
day, we must recognize, not only
their needs but their rights as in
dividuals.
when, and if however, a youth
develops social tendencies that lead
to incorrigibility for his or her
held accountable for his or her
deeds. At such times we cannot
afford to be mamby-pamby or over
ly sentimental, but we must at all
times, temper law enforcement,
with common sense and under
standing. In the failure to do the
latter lies the greater danger"

ness elsewhere was no better than
routine.

Court Rejects Appeal
OF Convicted SLAYER

The United States Court Of Ap-
peals yesterday refused to disturb
the life Imprisonment Of James
Matthew Smith, 81, colored. con-
lvicted in 1887 In the rape-murder
of a 65-year-old Washington
woman.
Smith was arrested in 1885 for
questioning in the death Of Mrs.
Florence Dancy, 2139 L street
NV. who was found raped and
murdered earlier that year. Jarvis
Catoe, colored. who was ultimately
electrocuted in 1943 after confess
ing to a number Of sex slayings
here. at one time included the
Dancy crime among his confess
sions. But he later repudiated this
admission.
Smith. although represented by
two attorneys, failed to appeal his
second-degree murder conviction
within the proper time. Last year
he obtained new counsel, who filed
a motion in District Court to va
cate MS cOnVlct1On. DlStrlct Court
turned down that bid.
Through Attorneys Paul A. Por.
ter and g. Duane Vieth he asked
for a new trial on grounds that
just after his arrest he was not
only Illegally detained but mis-
treated by police in violation Of
his constitutional rights.
The appeals court held. however,
that while these complaints may
or may not have had merit. the
defendant should have raised them
either during the trial or. failing
favorable action there. in the ap-
peals court within the specified
time after his conviction.

Germans 10 Produce
Some Arms for Allies,
u. 5. Officials Expect
By John A. Giles

American officials expect West
ern Germany to manufacture
some types Of arms-possibly light
tanks and guns-as well as to con-
tribute manpower to the combined
European defense force.
This was disclosed today as
officials said they expected a call
to go out within "a hours for a
meeting of the North Atlantic
Military Committee. The group,
headed by Gen. Bradley. will COM
plete plans for a Western Euro
pean defense force with Gen.
Eisenhower as commander.
The extent to which present
limitations on German industrial
production will be relaxed to per-
NIT revival Of any armament
manufacture there depends on
negotiations with the French and
British.
Restrictions Understood.
Some American officials believe
that, in addition to producing
such items as truck and signal
equipment, the German produc-
tive capacity should be used to
make armaments-but with re-
strictions to leave them Short Of
all the equipment needed by a
modern army.
For example, the Germans
might produce artillery but not
the ammunition for it.
The German production would
lessen to some extent the demands
on American production to equip
the European defense force.
However, it is expected that
President Truman will ask Con-
gress next month for between IS
billion and $40 billion for arms
and economic aid.
Can't Be Separated.
Most officials expect that 1t will
be the higher figure and they
comment that it is no longer pos
sible to separate arms and eco
nomic aid in the light Of present
Communist threats to democracy.
But the amount OF money will
depend largely on the ability Of
the European nations to absorb
the spending program and the
controls picture In the United
States.
The appointment of a supreme
commander for the Western Euro
pean forces, integration of those
forces and the German contribu-
ton to them have been discussed
by Mr.. Truman and British Prime
Minister Attlee here.
