front row. gasped, mo. no. no."
She then broke into sobs and con-
tinued crying until after she bid
farewell to her husband and was
taken away by relatives.

More than a dozen of Dodson's
relatives, including his father.
heard the verdict. and tears came
to their eyes. Dodson himself took
the news with stony calmness.
Throughout his trial, Dodson, 81.
said he remembered nothing Of
the episode last September 20 at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs, H. Jack
Bartels, 2810-B South Sixteenth
road. Arlington. He was convicted
of forcing his way into the home
at pistol point, forcing them to
disrobe and then making indecent
advances to Mrs. Bartels.
His right leg is still in cast.
It was shattered by shot fired by
a neighbor when Dodson tried to
escape. after q struggle with Mr..

Jones and Frank L. Ball, said they
will appear before Judge Walter

l.. Abbott, a visiting judge from
the 10Th Virginia Circuit, presid-
ed at the trial and denied the
bond without prejudice"

! Dodson's lawyers also said they
will appeal the conviction.
| Motions to set aside the verdict
made by Mr.. Jones and Mr.. Ball
after the verdict, also were denied
by Judge Abbott.
Mr.. Jones told the Judge:
'Dodson still is in need OF medi-
cal care. He can't get it at the
Jail. The human thing would be
to grant him bond"
Dodson has been without bond
because death was a possible pun
ishment for the crime with which
he was charged. During the trial,
defense psychiatrists testified Dod-
son was mental case similar to
an "unexploded bomb" which
went off on September 20, to sub
stantiate his defense of temporary
insanity.
Dodson's attorneys asked for

porary insanity and promised
that, if released, he would be sent
to veterans hospital for psychi-
atric treatment.

This is about the time of year
when employees of Glen Echo park
cram aboard the roller coaster
and take off for the hills.
From the standpoint of strict
transportation, the coaster course
has more hills and more turns in
its $500 feet than mountain
goat pasture. All the boys get a
fast, free ride to test-hop the
thriller for the season.
It's something like having para
chute riggers test their own
chutes.
The more they can get aboard
the better, particularly if one of
them is 218-pound Reason Pra-
ther, of Cabin John, who walks
every foot of the corrugated
speedway on an inspection tour
almost every day.
Minds on Safety First.
If it isn't rotund Mr.. Prather,
1t is Thomas Muck, of Glen Echo,
superintendent Of the ride, who
does the track walking, inspecting
tracks, brakes and structure. Be-
tween them. they're more interest
ed in the safety of the contrap-
ton than the first customer.
Narrow catwalks on either side
OF the tracks are their footpaths.
BY the time they're halfway to
the top of the highest 90-foot hill,
the footpath is almost a ladder.
Mr.. Prather is the first to admit
the daily climb hasn't done much
to trim his figure, but, at 81 and
after % years, he says he's in
pretty good shape, despite q re-
cent fall from a scaffolding.
Mr.. Muck will go him even one
better.
My legs are almost as good as
they were when I started walking
this ride a. years ago." he said.
He declined to concur in Mr..

While Chairman Murray said
the bill is intended to affect only
security cases, Mr.. Rees said it
would go much further than that.
The House Appropriations Com
mittee this week recommended
that the summary firing authority
be given to the Secretary of Com
merce.
The bill would require that en-
ployes holding permanent ap-
pointments be given a written
statement of charges against them
and "a reasonable opportunity" to
answer them. The employe could
demand review of his case by
the agency head or some one
designated by the head.
Asked by Johnson.
But in the final analysis, the
agency head would have the last
word.
"The head of the agency" Mr..
Rees said, would be both accuser
and judge. There should be more
protection for the employees"
Several Republicans pointed out
that the bill would let department
heads fire employees at will merely
by ruling that continued employ
ment would not be in the interest
of national security.
While Chairman Murray intro
duced the bill and it carries his
name, his Office said he sponsored
1t at the request of Secretary of
