Mother Of 7 Boys
To Appeal Custody
Award 10 Board

An attorney may take to the
United States Court Of Appeals
today a fight over Juvenile Court
action in awarding custody Of two
children to the Board Of Public
Welfare without a jury trial.
The two children are Robert 8.
Lambert, S, and Raymond. 4, who
are sons of Mrs. Myrtle Lambert.
"a, Of Alexandria, Va. She is
seeking custody.
Mrs. Lambert, through Attorney
Ralph r. Sachs, first sought GUS
Itody of the children in habeas
corpus action in District Court.
District Court Judge Burnita
Shelton Matthews last Monday
dismissed the habeas corpus writ
and ruled that Juvenile Court had
jurisdiction in the custody ques-
ton.
Judge COckrill's Ruling.
The two boys have been wards
Of the Board of Public Welfare
since last August, Attorney Sachs
Uniformed the court. On Wednes-
day, when a hearing was sched-
uled in Juvenile Court to deter
mine whether the board should
retain custody, Attorney Sachs
asked that a jury trial be held to
determine the custody question,
he said.
Yesterday he informed Judge
Matthews that a jury trial was
denied by Juvenile Court Judge
Edith H. Cockrill and that the
latter jurist had heard the case
herself Wednesday afternoon and
had given the board custody OF
the two boys until they are Il.
/ Writ Denied.
Attorney Sachs then argued
before Judge Matthews a petit
ton for a writ of prohibition to
set aside action taken by Judge
Cockrill. Judge Matthews, how
ever, denied the writ. In so doing,
she referred to Court Of Appeals
ruling suggesting that a writ OF
prohibition should not be issued
when case can be settled
through appeal.
Attorney Sachs said he expects
to appeal the Juvenile Court ac-
tion to the appellate court as soon
as possible.
The children's mother, a part-
time waitress, previously had in
formed District Court she intends
to seek divorce from her hus-
band and marry a man who il
fond of the children. Mrs. Lam
bert said she has been separated
from her husband since 1949.

10 Welcome Macarthur
BY the Associated Press

AUSTIN. Tex. June 12.-The
Capital of Texas will give Gen.
Macarthur an engraved seal of
the city and a rousing welcome
tomorrow when he starts his four
day visit of the State. But that's
as far as they'll go.
State Senator John Bell, chair
man of the legislative arrange
ments committee, suggested to
Mayor w. S. Drake, jr., of Austin
that perhaps Austin isn't trying to
compete with "our richer neigh
bors."
Houston. where the general
makes his second Texas appear
ance, has rolled out a Cadillac
which will be given him.
AS preparations were completed
for Gen. MacArthur's welcome in
his four-day flying visit, another
city was added to the list. CAL
weston got into the act-the sixth
Texas city to see the general
I Gen. Macarthur goes from here
ITO Houston tomorrow and Thurs
day afternoon will drive to CAL
weston for a two-hour visit. There
will be no speech.

Soviet Jap Treaty Offer
Is Propaganda, u. 5. Says

The State Department has
branded Russia's latest japanese
peace conference proposal "propa-
ganda" as prelude to rejecting it
Michael j. McDermott, State
Department press officer, said yes
terday that the Soviet proposal
appears to contain nothing new
and repeats the usual propaganda
charges" against the United States
and cooperating countries.
The Russians insisted anew. in
their note delivered Sunday, that
the Soviet, British, American and
Communist Chinese foreign min
listers should draft a treaty. The
United States already has a peace
treaty draft well advanced by di-
rect negotiations with Is other
nations.
American officials said the lat
est Soviet proposal apparently was
aimed at blocking the treaty prep
arations.
