The Bethesda Civitan Club will

has been informed.
The 212-year-old teen-agers'

open to senior and junior high
school groups two nights a week
for social activity in the Bethesda

Civitan Club help was sought for
the expanded "Y"-teen program
when it became apparent that
Community Chest funds would be
inadequate. YWCA officials said.
Civitan President Walter L.

Mrs. Millett denied ever entering
the store or writing the check.
And a surprise defense witness,
Ira Gulickson, handwriting ex-
pert for the Metropolitan Police,
testified samples of her writing
differed from that on the check.
This woman could not have
written this check" he told Judge
Woodward.
But Leonard Levy, owner of the
store, insisted Mrs. Millett was
the woman who presented the
check to him. He said he remem-
bered her because she had a small
mole on her right cheek at the
time.
Judge Woodward then asked
Mr.. Levy to look at the defend
ant, seated about 10 feet from
the witness stand.
Does she have a mole on her
face now?" he asked.

day was up to 4 cents a pound
over a week ago in many ares

pounds last summer, but they
have dwindled to less than 7C
million pounds. On top of this
development, butter production
recently has been too low to supply
the consumer market.
First Rise in Weeks.
The higher retail price for but
ter today was the first rise fol
some retailers in weeks. They
warned it might go higher if the
wholesale market keeps going up

"No, she does not" Mr.. Levy
replied.
Judge Woodward called Mrs.
Millet back to the stand and in
structed Mr.. Levy to look at her
closely. And again Mr.. Levy said
he could see no mole.
Told to Wash Face.
At this point, Judge Woodward
told the attractive brunette to
wash her face. When she re-
turned. Mr.. Levy looked at her
for the third time, but the an
swer was still the same-no mole.
In fact, said Mrs. Millett. she had
never had a mole on her face.
Her husband, Edward Millett,
who married her last January,
testified he had never seen a mole
on his wife's face since he first
met her in September, 1948. :.
Then. States Attorney Walter
w Dawson. produced a picture
which police took of Mrs. Millett
when she was arrested September
10. It showed a small mark like a
mole on her right cheek, just where
Mr.. Levy said he saw it March q.
Mr.. Simpson made last-minute
attempt to wave away this evil
dence. He claimed it might have
been a pimple or a shadow or a
flaw in the negative. But it was
no use. Said Judge Woodward:
IT was ready to turn her loose
when Mr.. Levy couldn't see a mole
on this woman on the witness
stand. But when this pitcure was
brought in, it showed the mole on
the exact spot where Mr.. Levy said
it was. Mr.. Gulickson's testimony
is not sufficient to raise any doubt
in my mind. I find this woman
guilty."
Later, Mr.. Simpson said he will
try to get records from the Mary
land House of Correction, where
Mrs. Millett served the previous
sentence, to see if records show
she had mole at that time.
