In arriving at his decision. the
judge said he had to take these
financial considerations into &C
count along with other aspects
of the case.
On the other hand, he said, he
was impressed with the pleasant
circumstances surrounding the
home of Mr.. Maxim, his wife and
three children. The judge de-
scribed Mr.. Maxim, a $10,O00-a-
year advertising executive, as IAN
aggressive business man." with a
"pecuniary interest" in the case.
But, Judge Kirkland pointed
out, one of Mr.. Malkin's children
is daughter about Sylvia's age,
and "one of the cruelest persons in
the world is another girl of equal
age"
Fears Biting Questions.
"She might ask (Sylvia) Who
are you and How did you get
here?' and this sort of thing bites
into child's fiber more than any,
thing else" the Judge reflected.
Should the mother pass the one
year test, Judge Kirkland declared
there is no court" that would
not award permanent custody at
the end of that time.
Two weeks ago. the judge asked
both sides to consult with Rabbi
Norman Gerstenfeld, leader of the
Washington Hebrew Congregation.
SO the rabbi could forward his
recommendations to the court.
Immediately after announcing his
decision in the case, Judge Kirk
land, still at the bench, opened a
sealed envelope from Rabbi Ger
stenfeld.
The recommendation: That
Mrs. Spivak be awarded Gus
tody for a trial period.

treatment.
Emotional distress due to sin
can only be treated by spiritual
means" he continued. Other
wise the patients conflicts will be
aggravated if not multiplied. The
analysis of sin is no cure of it, but
the knowledge of it's motivations
and the significance of it's express
sion can greatly help the patient
to cooperate more fully with
Gods care"
He pointed out it is fairly
common experience to find a re-
ligious coloring of the mental con-
tent Of patients suffering from
both minor and major mental
disorders"
The speaker said distrust of
psychiatry and psychoanalysis,
especially among Catholics, is due
partly to confusion and misun-
derstanding of these two branches
of medical science and what they
have to offer in the prevention
and treatment of mental Ills"

PERFORMANCE RATINGS -
The Civil Service Commission is
revising its recently issued regula-
tions on the Governments new
performance rating system of en-
ployes. @
The revisions involve the pro-
vision which made it mandatory
for agencies to give each employe
detailed written instructions on
the duties and responsibilities ex-
pected of them.
Many agencies protested this,
pointing out that many employees
have been doing satisfactory work
in the same types of jobs for many
years, and that to give them spe-
cific written instructions would
involve a waste of time and effort.
So the commission has agreed
to make this provision optional
with the agencies. AS a result,
detailed written instructions will,
in most cases, be given only to
relatively new employees or work.

Russell, Racketeer,
Faces 50 Charges Of
Contempt Of Congress

Harry Russell. Chicago rack
eteer, said to have 'muscled in"
on Florida gambling circles, to-
day was free under high bond in
Miami on charges of contempt of
Congress and bribery.
The 60-count indictment was
returned against him yesterday by
a Federal grand jury in District
Court here at the same time a
Florida grand jury charged him
with two counts of offering bribes
to deputy sheriffs in the Miami
area.
The contempt charges were filed
on the recommendation of the
Senate Crime Investigation Com
mittee before, which Russell, SO,
refused to answer dozens of ques-
tions regarding his reputed I'M
derworld, activities.
Accused of Muscling In.
He appeared before the COM
mittee on September %, after
issuance of an interim report in
which committee investigators ac-
cused him of "muscling into the
lush Miami territory" on behalf
of Chicago gang interests. The
report charged that Russell, "a
well-known Chicago racketeer"
and associate of the present
Capone underworld structure
there, forced his way into a part
nership in the S. & G.. gambling
syndicate in Miami Beach.
The committee, after unsuccess-
full efforts to have him served for
on-the-spot hearings in Miami,
finally located him for Wash
ington session. Here, however, he
declined to answer such questions
as these on the ground of possible
standardization:
Why he failed to attend the
Florida hearings, whether he dis
cuSSed the matter with attorneys,
whether he knew anything about
threats Of violence" against S. &
G. Syndicate in connection with
his partnership offer, whether he
knew anything about the sudden
cutoff of the syndicate's racing
wire service for 10 days at a time
when he was trying to become a
partner.
Russell further was charged in
the contempt indictment with re-
fusing to say whether he ever
knew certain Chicago or Miami
gamblers, or whether any of them
had hand in getting him into
the S. & G. partnership.
$4,000 Bail Posted
He posted $4,000 bail and faces
removal on the District indict-
ment. Shortly after showing up
in the Federal Building in Miami
yesterday. he went to the Dade
County courthouse and posted two
bonds of 81 500 each on the brib-
cry charges, according to the As
Sociated Press.
At the same time, five deputy
sheriffs were charged with accept
ing five consecutive 500 weekly
bribes from him and another
gambler. The deputies all served
urtder Dade County Sheriff Jimmy
Sullivan. who has been suspended
from Office by Gov. Fuller Warren.
Russell earlier was indicted by
q Dade grand jury on IA counts
of operating gambling houses, but
the case has not yet come up.
With the $4,000 bond posted in
that case, Russell's various bonds
now total $4,000.
If convicted on each of the con-
tempt charges. Russell faces a |
maximum penalty totaling 60
years imprisonment and 100000 in
fines.
The crime committee, in its re-
port. found Miami Beach to be a |
gathering place for such under
world notables as Frank Erickson
and Joe Adonis. The S & G Syn
dicate. in its own reports, acknowl-
edged yearly gross of $26 million
In 1948 alone.

Editor, The Citizen:
Kindly allow us space in your
valuable paper to express our
appreciation of the courtesies eX-
tended to us while visiting in
your city.
Leaving Michigan where the
temperature is degrees below
zero, it is hard to believe it is
still january, when we arrive in
Key West; experience its soft
summer breezes and see many
BEAUTIFUL flowers in full bloom.
We enjoyed the scenic drive
over the Florida Keys with a few
hours stop at Pine Key where we
fished and had our first taste of
sea food at Nat-O-Wena cottage.
Among the many other inter-
esting features of our visit were:
A sight seeing trip thru the
city and Naval Base.
Tour of the aircraft carrier
THE Cabot"
Trip through a submarine.
The turtle industry,
A day of shopping in your
modern stores.
Fishing from the bridges and
also the novel experience of deep
sea fishing.
We planned to make only a
week end stop. However each
night we decide to stay just one
more day until our visit has ex-
tended to nearly a week, with no
definite date of departure set.
We will regret leaving the
hospitable home of the c. Sam

port at Meacham Field, enum-
Grated certain facts about 1t
which were known to the writer;
however, Mr.. Lowe errs in think
ing that the importance of the
airport was discounted. The
Writer does not discount the inn
portance of an airport to this
city--or any other city.
1t must be remember that in
my first article, l suggester sur
vey which would lead to the
development of an aifrpert--stat-
ing that we needed such deve-
lopment.
Z lis. proposed location, is. still
questioned. If it viii hamper de-
Fefopinent Of the extensive hold
ings of the Key West Improve
ment Co, then it definitely Is
not the site.
We looked at the darker side
Of the picture last time when we
said that IF business goes on the
rocks, the airlineS will pull out
leaving an abandoned airport
and the usual inundated land
that is there now" Suppose we
look at the brighter side now
and see everything booming as
it never has before. We will have
an airport at the Meacham site
and air traffic increasing more
and more. Can anyone tell me,
will that site be big enough?
Look at Miami's MAD; Traffic
is terrific, and its iHadeauaey in
size became only too evident.

the Democrat. the plan is dead

The feeling is that even adj

about five billion dollars just 10
get the plan started.
