Psychidtrist
Gets 6 Months
ForFata| Crash
DR.. Morris Given
20-Minute Lecture
By Judge Woodward

DR.. Robert Roy Morris, director
of the Montgomery County Mental
Health Clinic, today faced a six
month sentence in the Maryland
House of Correction for reckless
driving.
The 34-year-old psychiatrist
was sentenced yesterday by Judge
Charles w. Woodward in County
Circuit Court at the conclusion of
Commute lecture in which
Judge Woodward called the de-
fendant a liar Defense attorneys
said the law prohibits further ap-
peal.
Court attaches said the sentence
was the most severe ever handed
down in Circuit Court for such an
offense.
DR.. Morris was acquitted last
week by jury of charges of man
slaughter and failing to stop after
an accident April 10, 1949, on the
Rockville pike near Georgetown
Preparatory School in which Miss
Juliette Ann Fleck of Youngwood,
Pa, was fatally injured.
Convicted in Police Court.
He had appealed from his con-
viction on all three charges last
May in Bethesda Police Court. At
that time, he received a 1-year
sentence.
Testimony at last weeks trial
showed that DR.. Morris south
bound car struck the northbound
automobile in which Miss F'leck
was riding. The latter car then
swerved across the road and
crashed into an automobile going
in the opposite direction.
DR.. Morris testified that the
only accident of which he was
aware that day was one in which
he tapped bumpers" with car
ahead of him about two blocks
from where the fatal crash oc-
Cured.
He listened impassively as SEN
tence was pronounced, but his
wife of few months burst into
tears.
After Judge Woodward left the
courtroom DR.. Morris attorneys,
F. Bernard Walsh and Juvenile
Court Judge Alfred D. Noles, went
to the circuit judges chambers to
urge that the sentence be sus-
pended. The request was denied.
In imposing sentence, Judge
Woodward told the defendant:
II don't believe you told the truth
when you said you heard nothing,
your car was struck hard
enough to twist and tear the rear
bumper but you say you didn't
hear the noise or remember seeing
the other car"
Calls Fine Inadequate.
Declaring that every bit of
evidence showed you were on the
wrong side of the road" Judge
Woodward said:
"You killed a girl through your
reckless driving. I think the maxi
mum fine of $1O0 for such an Of
fense would be totally inadequate
In your case. I am of the opinion
that the jury could very we'll have
found you guilty of manslaughter.
If it had. I might have considered
giving you large fine"
The maximum penalty for man
slaughter is a $1,000 fine or three
years in jail, or both.
Several character witnesses took
the stand earlier to praise DR..
Morris work. They included DR..
Edwin w. Broome, county super
intendent of schools; DR.. Dexter
Bullard, director of Chestnut
Lodge Sanitarium. Rockville; DR..
V. L. Ellicott, county health Off
GER, and Judge Noyes.

MONTGOMERY AND
COSTELLO IN FEUD

The Justice Department finds
itself in the role of umpire today
in rip-roaring battle between
Robert Montgomery, the movie
star, and Gambling Car Frank
Costello.
Montgomery has asked the
government 10 revoke Costello's
citizenship and deport him to his
native Italy-~0n the ground that
Costello swore before a naturali-
zation court that he was a person
Of good moral character. This,
says Montgomery, was a false
statement and fraud, since Cos
tello at that time was a big shot
botlegger and paid no income
tax.
To all of which, Costello has
angrily replied:
TN obtaining citizenship in
1925, committed no fraud. This
recent attack on me is cheap,
hammy stunt by former movie
actor turned bad radio common
tator :"
The application to have Cos
tello's citizenship revoked is now
before United States Attorney
Irving Savpol in New York. It's
up to him to decide whether to,
press the case in the courts. Since
the fight developed. he has been
out of town and unavailable for
comment. @

On Monday night Of mex
week, February 90, concert goers
in Key West will have the op.
portunity to attend the third II
the series Of Community Concer,
Association concerts, when Mona
Paulee. mezzo-soprano, will APP
pear in. recital at the Convent
Auditorium, beginning at $3.50
o'clock.
An enWable position in the
fields of concerts, opera and radio
is held today by Mona Paulee, the
rich-yoiced. sparkling, dark hair
led mezzo-soprano. Amazing has
been her rise to fame.
'Reaching for the Moon, 2 could
be the title for the life story Of
Mona Paulee, though, actually,
its just the name of the song in
which she scored her first sue
cess. Born in Edmonton, Canada,
Of French Russian ancestry, Mona
migrated with her family to the
States when she was just four
years old--the States being Port
land, Oregon. Papa was a theatre
manager, and Mona was theatre
fan. Those were the days Of the
bouncing ball and the singing
audience; Mona was the singing
est of them all. Here's where her
first success comes in. It happen
ed in the dimly lighted theatre in
Portland. The high school gang
with when she was sitting dared
her to enter that nights amateur
contest She defiantly marched
up and sang Reaching for the
Moon, and won the ten dollar
first prize.
Mona has come a long way
since that ten dollars worth of
moonlight and seIf-confidence.
She knew now that she wanted
to be singer, and great one.
Once out of high school the fight
ing youngster began to- really
concentrate on singing OPP
She clutehed at every singing op-
portunity. She was booked on a
small west coast circuit, and an
excruciatiIag five-a-day routine.
Slowly she moved from vaude-
vile to a spot as soloist on a
movie house circuit, resisting all
the time the attractive tempta-
ton of career in the popular
field Finally from this hard
school, she graduated to light
opera and oratDrios, and to
solo engagements with the res
nowned Pasadena Bach Society
and the Federal Symphony. In
1886 she was engaged by the San
Francisco Opera Company where
she sang minor roles and under
studied the principals.
Her next plan was to attack
New York, Her idea was to try
for q Net. contract via the famed
Metropolitan Opera Additions of
the Air The preliminary audi
tionS were successfully hurdled.
She won the finals, and eventual
~ was chosen with two others
as winner Of the additions in
the spring of l94l.
The following year her dream
came true. She made her debut
at the Metropolitan as Gianetta
in DOaIizetti's 81 Elisir d'Amore. /"
From there she went on to five
years of operate success as Lola
in "Cavalleria Rusticana, Nick
lausse in Tales of Hoffman, =
Frederick in 'Mignon, Anneris
| in aida" ''Maddalena in 'Rigo-
