Probation Office officials today
were studying the case of Fred
B. johnson, who lost a year out
of his life when he took a sud
den turn in front Of streetcar.
Mr.. johnson, AZ. was a carpen-
ter and part-time policeman on
the Bethesda town force on July
26 when, accompanied by his
wife and four friends, he went on
a lodge outing aboard the excur-
sion steamer Bear Mountain.
On the way home, Mr.. john
son, who had driven his friends
to the boat, abruptly turned left
at Seventh street and Constitu-
tion avenue NV.
Mr.. johnson can't remember
this. or any thing that happened
after a southbound streetcar
crushed the top Of his car and
dragged 1t several feet along the
tracks.
One passenger was killed. She
was Mrs. Francis E. Sherry. Is, OF
SOB Carroll avenue, Takoma Park
a bride of less than a year.
Others Critically Hurt.
Mr.. johnson was taken to the
hospital with a crushed back and
brain injury, which has perma-
nently affected his right eye. The
other occupants Of the car were
also in critical condition for some
time.
But all Mr.. johnson knows
about this is that he has been told
he was in an accident and that he
was badly hurt.
He can remember practically
nothing about his life for nearly a
year before the crash and very
little afterward, until about two
and a half months ago.
With Mr.. johnson unable to re-
member anything about the fatal
crash, and the other surviving oc-
cupants Of the car equally unable
to recall any details. he could dc
little but plead mo defense" when
he came to trial in Municipal
Court yesterday on a charge OF
negligent homicide.
Resources Gone.
IT remember something about
planning a boat trip. he told
Judge George d. Nelson, "but
nothing else"
when 7 could first walk
around. after a month in the hos
pital and two weeks In bed at
home, I dared not walk out Of my
block, because I couldn't remem-
ber where I lived" he said.
His wife is still in cast. De-
fense Attorney Albert F. Beasley
said. Mr.. Beasley told reporters

pretty much up against it." Mr.
Beasley said the former policeman
had spent all his resources on hos
pital bills and will be unable to
work for some time.
"It is regrettable this had to
happen to a man with such q good
record" said Judge Nelson. 'But
with this one lapse from necessary
caution, he LIS now guilty Of negli-
gent homicide"
The judge then referred the
case to the probation Office and
said he will sentence Mr.. johnson

A letter with the intriguing in
terjection Il never thought 1t
would happen to me, but it has!"
continues as follows: "The boss
wife has asked me to come to
their house for supper one evening
soon, and since they live quite a
distance out of the city, has asked
me to stay all night and drive in
again with the boss in the morn
ing. I wonder (a) is a gift neces-
sary or at least in good taste?
And (b) after a meal and staying
just overnight, should I write
Mrs. Boss a thank-you note? It
would just be repeating what I'd
already said and might seem over
done"
(a) No, do not take gift. CD
Yes, you should write a note-a
very brief one.
Permission to Smoke
Dear Mrs. Post: Is it still con-
sidered good manners to ask a
companions permission to smoke
before lighting a cigarette, pipe or
cigar, even in places where smok-
ing is permitted?
Answer: If your companion is a
woman, yes definitely-unless she
herself is smoking.
Awkword Wedding Change

asked to be my maid of honor has

I've heard, counting on being home

sanitorium, I'd almost rather have
somebody else. What can I do
about her without causing embar-

Answer: The only thing to do
is ask her mother or, If you have
the same one, her doctor if she's
well enough. If the doctor thinks
the wedding would be too much
of an excitement for her, then
he would be the one to tell her
that she had better not take part.

Friends of the William McCor-
hicks received invitations last week
to a barge party that read, Have
you been abroad this summer?
You'll leave right after this. Cleo
patra, Napoleon and Huckleberry
Finn went down in history. Why
not you?"
In her usual original fashion,
Connie staged another bangup
party to celebrate her husbands S
birthday. Each year she springs
something new. This time she
hired the canal barge and took 80
of their friends for the smoothest
ride of their lives. They sailed"
around $50 the other evening,
near the foot of Thirtieth and M
streets to the mad, gay sound of
their own voices singing Anchors
Aweigh.' In addition to the 80
guests, also on board were a crew
of five, a very active accordionist
and enormous baskets containing
quantities of turkey, hamburgers,
cheeSeburgers, etc. and fancy
birthday cake.
Dusk was falling when they
started out just below the only
lock they went through. The
sound of the water spilling over
the lock had charm and so did
the scene. Old Georgetown houses
and an ancient looking wall edge
the lower part of the canal where
numerous overpasses added a pic-
turesque note. AS the two mules
ridden by two little boys towed it
gently along making their way
slowly up the parallel footpath,
the water looked like unbroken
glass mirroring the trees that
lined it and the cloud formations
overhead.
Enchanted by the picture were

The British Embassy should be
bubbling with baby talk. II
should, that is. if it is possible
to indulge in that kind of cute
inarticulacy in the clipped Oxon-
ian accents characteristic of oul
English-speaking allies. Frankly
I'm doubtful.
1t so happens, however, that
two of the most popular, attrac-
tive and warm-hearted couples
to have ever been stationed at this
inclined-to -be-aloof Embassy have
increased the size of their fam
lilies this week.
At 9 o'clock Sunday evening
British Counselor Gerald Meade's
lovely looking wife, Beatrice, pre-
sented him with a little daugh-
ter, which is just what they want
ed. They already had a son and
another girl.
Two days later, blond, viva
lcious Patsy Jellicoe presented her
husband, the Earl, with a son
and heir who will be called Pat
rick, Viscount Brocas. That is
the second title in the Jellicoe
family. The little viscount, how
ever, looks as though he is slated
for the football gridiron instead
OF the House of Lords. He weighed
10 pounds at birth.

The Meades will call their
daughter Anne Diana Marian
and the Anne was chosen long be-
fore Princess Elizabeth's daughter
was named. Which brings to
mind that the three births fol-
lowed the proper order of pre-
cedence. The Princess baby came
first, the Counselor of the EN-

VA Explains Extension
OF 81 Training DeadIine

The Veterans Administration
today came out with an explana-
ton of its recent extension OF
the July Is. 1851 deadline for
resuming CT bill training.
The extension, VA said, applies
only to veterans who already
started their studies and are pre-
vented from continuing because
they return to active duty. How
ever, the July as cutoff date
still holds for veterans who had
never had CT bill training at the
time they re-entered active serv-
ice.
officials said that, under a reg
ulation of April /. an exception
was made on the deadline for an
interruption "for reasons beyond
veterans control" An inter-
ruption for the purpose of going
on active duty, VA ruled. falls
within that category.
Such veterans will be permitted
to resume training with "a rea-
sonable period" following their re-
lease from service.
