Mrs. Ke|eher Gets
$3.50 as Jury Trims
Ford Fee 10 $1,000

Mrs. Anna T. Dolly Keleher
today was $3.50 to the good and
her former attorney, Charles E.
Ford, had what amounted to a
$4,000 fee for work he did for
her in 1916, under a District Court
jury's verdict.
The jury of II men and one
woman studied for two hours Mrs
Keleher's contention that Mr.
Ford misappropriated $6,45O
which she entrusted to him four
years ago.
The attorney denied the &C
cusation. In his accounting, he
said he gave, with her approval
$4,000 to her husband. John B

$50 balance he credited to Mrs
Keleher as payment for his fee

When Judge Richmond B
Keech sent the jury out, he gave
members the option of decreeine
that Mr.. Ford must repay either
the entire $6,450, or only the
$500 he said he gave Mr.. Keleher
or all or part of the $2,950 consti-
tuting his fee. or nothing at all
The subsequent verdict indicated
the panel merely felt Mr.. Ford's
fee was excessive by $3.50. That
at any rate. was Mr.. Ford's in
depreciation.
Their verdict" he said, "means
to me they feel I did nothing
wrong with the money. I thought
I deserved a $4,000 fee. but the
jury felt I should get only a ST.
900 fee."
James j. Laughlin, Mrs. KEEL
eher's trial lawyer, who at one
point called Mr.. Ford the boil
Weevil of the administration OF
justice in the District" declined

Horsemonship Is Of Little Value
To Miami Stock Firm, SEC Finds

He not only had no experience In
the securities business, but "had
never even seen a stock exchange
except in the movies" His "only
knowledge" of the business, in
fact, was obtained" from the
study of an unnamed book 10
years ago."
Elizabeth Joost's only prior busi-
ness experience involved airplane
flight instruction. She did inform
the examiners, however. that her
father once invested some of her
money in securities, and that she
once saw the floor of the New
York Stock Exchange from the
gallery.
Margaret Sweeney was discov-
cred to be a student at Miami
University, who joined the firm

help in connection with her
studies" Mr.. Barnes likewise con-
cended he had had no experience
In any exchange business.
Among other findings, SEC re-
ported that Miami businessmen
agreed there was not enough trade
in the area to support the pro-
posed exchange, and that the firm
had mo substantial assets" It's

cial district of Miami, were with

Todoy's u. S. Military Leaders
Older Than Many in History

NEW YORK, Sept. Is (Nana) i.
Are our present-day military
leaders-regardless of their past
experience-too old for the Cruel
ing jobs that must be done under
pressure and for long hours in the
current crisis? Should the re-
sponsibilities be taken over by
younger men who are perhaps
more alert mentally and stronger
physically?
1t depends, experts say. But
history shows that some of the
greatest military leaders were
young men.
Julius Caesar became emperor
of the Romans when he was 40;
Alexander the Great conquered
most of the then-known world
and died at 33; George Washing
ton was 43 when he commanded
the Continental Army; the Mar
quis de Lafayette was about %
when he distinguished himself
for generalShip on the field of
battle. and the Duke of Wellington
was in his early 40s when he
came into his military prime.
Compare those ages with the
military leaders of today: Gen.
George C. Marshall, nominated to
head the defense department. SO;
Gen. Omar N. Bradley, chairman
of the Join Chiefs of Staff. 81:
Gen. Douglas Macarthur, U. N.
commander of the Far Eastern
fighting, 70; Gen. Walton H. Wal
ker. field general in Korea. CO.
However, Winston Churchill

Of Britain and II on We Day.

Arthur. Bradley and Walker is "a.
BY comparison, Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower was So at the time OF
D-Day at Normandy. Field Mar
shall Viscount Montgomery was SIS
when the battle of Ell Alamein
took place-both younger men.
The average age OF generals COM
manding the Soviets, on the other
hand, is estimated to be consider
ably less.
"Older people are less likely to
provide dynamic leadership" says
an expert at the New York
Psychological Association. "They
are inclined to be more prudent
and cautious than so-called mill
tary geniuses. But it depends on
the individual, of course. he

isn't too much known on the
subject. But a man who is a
natural fighter in his early years
will continue to carry his fighting
instincts through his 70's. Much
depends on nutrition of the

He plans to ask for additional
