'Truaney 10 Be Aired
BY Juvenile Court S
Advisory Committee

The child who skips school O.
otherwise runs afoul of the Law
will be discussed at the next meet
ing of Juvenile Courts Advisor!
Committee March 13.
How officials Of the court an,
school can work more closely to
gether for the welfare of mutua
charges is one phase of the com
mittee's efforts to promote bette
understanding between the cour
and other community agencies.
School officials are especial,
concerned with truancy and tn,
handling of children who are OF
probation to the court.
Meeting Planned.
At the advisory committeei
fourth meeting last week, it wa.
agreed that Judge Edith H. Cock.
rill and Henry j. Palmieri, tht
courts social work director, woule
meet with a subcommittee o1
school officers who have drawr
up preliminary questions on the
subject.
A further report is planned fol
the March meeting. Judge Cock
rill also has expressed willing
ness to meet school officials.
, The new advisory committee was
appointed last fall by the judge
to replace a similar group that
dissolved itself after criticizing
her administration of the court
Among other things, it expressed
doubt that any real improvement
could be expected in the court as
long as its current philosophy
prevailed.
Policy Under Fire.
Under fire had been Judge
Cockrill'S policy of refusing to
open court records to other Dis
trict agencies.
The new committee has form
ally requested passage of an
amendment to the Juvenile Court
Act providing for greater exchange
of information between the court
and other community agencies.
This measure has been pending
In Congress since last year.
The committee also has sug-
gested, and Judge Cockrill has
indorsed. the preparation of a
pamphlet or manual on the court
for use by outside agencies and
others concerned.
Other work of the new COM
mittee has included tour of well
fare institutions here. Committee
members found the institutions
wanting in several respects, and
expressed themselves on these
points:
School programs in the insti-
tutions might we'll be turned back
to the Board of Education.
Separation Urged.
Separation of children involved
in misconduct from those who
were merely neglected or de-
pendent would be desirable.
Private organizations interested
in welfare could brighten the
lives of youngsters living in bare
and unattractive institutions by
contributing recreation facilities
and volunteer time to recreation
programs, including music.
More psychiatric help should be
provided.
A recreation field should be pro-
vided to serve the National Train
ing School for Girls and the In
dustrial Home School annex.
The committee members felt
there were various measures which
could serve to improve the insti-
tutions without great cost pending
completion of the Welfare De-
partment's rebuilding schedule.
Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle,
chairman of the advisory COM
mittee, acknowledged that ac-
complishment of it's aims would
be slow process, but she ex-
pressed hope that it's efforts could
bring about better understanding
between the court and community
agencies, and also between the

Rockville Navy Officer on Yemen Expedition IS Safe

Comdr. Charles Herbert Gill;

fled for his life from the ancient
capital of the Queen of Sheba in
Yemen after wild tribal soldiers
attacked the archaeological expe-
dition to which he was attached,
lis safe in the British protectorate
Of Alden.
News that he was safe came yes
terday in a cable to his wife at
their home at 1105 Edmonston
drive, Rockville, and in Associated
Press dispatches from Alden de-
scribing the attack on the scientific
expedition. Comdr. Gilliland was
assigned to the expedition as a
medical officer by the Navy.
The expedition, led by Wendell
Phillips. 30-year-old California
explorer, left behind in the city
of Marib equipment valued at
more than $3.50, 900 and priceless
archaeological treasures.

Tribesmen surrounded the mo-
torized convoy of the expedition.
They smashed in the windows Of
the leading truck and poked rifles
at the driver. Comdr. Gilliland
was among those taken into GUS
tody by the tribesmen.
After they were released, men,
bers of the expedition fled to Bel
han, a border town in the British
|protectorate. Part of the group,
including Comdr. Gilliland, was
flown from Beihan to Alden.
King Ahmed Of Yemen had
given guarantees of safety to the
Phillips expedition which was
made up Of about 20 scientists
and technicians. most of them
Americans. The group set up
headquarters in Marib about the
middle Of January.
The tribesmen who attacked the
expedition appeared to be soldiers
of Prince Hassan, a brother Of
the King and Viceroy of San'a,
capital of Yemen.
Wife Mystified by Attack.
Mrs. Gilliland, who lives with
her four children in Rockville, said
she was mystifled by the attack.
Her husbands cable did not ex-
plain it, and all Of his proceeding
letters had told Of courteous treat
ment the expedition received when
it arrived in Yemen.
Mr.. Phillips, president Of the
Foundation for the
Study of Man, and other members
of the expedition were received
at the palace when they arrived
in Yemen last month.
Comdr. Gilliland, who had been
on duty at the Naval Medical
Center, Bethesda, for the past
three years, was notified in
November of his assignment to
accompany the expedition.
With other members of the ex-

nation Of DR.. Edward B. Tuohy IL
November, is leaving the hospita
to enter private practice in an.
other city.
DR.. Tuohy, a noted anesthesio.
llogist, repeatedly left the hospita.
because authorities would moi
Iagree to certain changes in the
anesthesia department. All resi-.
dents in anesthesiology resigned
at the same time.
Among the issues repeatedly In
volved in DR.. Tuohy'S resignation
was that Georgetown allowed
private anestihesiologists to ad-
minister aneSthesia to private
patients on a fee basis.
He also was quoted by one resi-
dent doctor as asking that more
OF the money received by the
hospital for the service be turned
back for further development o1
the service.
Has Good Job Offer.
DR.. Guenther, who submitted
his resignation the first of the
month, said he was leaving be-
cause private practice would be
more lucrative in the long run.
Asked If he would have con.
sidered remaining at the hospita.
III he could have operated on 8
fee basis instead of a salariec
status, he replied: II don't know
That would take some thinking
The offer I am accepting is very
fine one"
DR.. Guenther said he thought
the anesthesiology service at the
hospital would be well covered, ;
although he said there still was q
shortage Of personnel. He said
there might" be some delay q
some elective surgery. He said
he understood the hospital was
looking for someone to take his
place.
DR.. Robert j. Coffey, chief OF
surgery at the hospital, said q new
chief Of anesthesiology whom he
declined to name is coming In
Monday. DR.. Coffey said we've
been running OK" and that there
would be no surgery delays.
another source said he understood
"a doctor had turned down the post
after indicating he would accept

The Rev. Paul A. McNally, dean

could not be reached for comment
Nurses Trained In Service.
DR.. Guenther said the hospital
has several nurses trained to serve
as anesthesiologists. He said the
hospital had no residents In an

DR.. Guenther also said that when
he left. a private patient could

DR.. Coffey. however, said the
system at the hopsital was 'the
same as when DR.. Tuohy left, !"

hospital still collected the fee.

pledged that. if elected, he will
make a trip to Korea in an effort
to find an honorable end to the
war there.
Senator Fulbright, in an ad-
dress prepared for a State Demo-
cratic rally here, asked:
Does anyone honestly believe
that the Communist drive for
world dominion can be stopped by
such simple gadget as a per-
sonal appearance ip Korea?"
Senator Fulbright omitted from
his speech a reference in his pre-
pared text to the possibility that
the general might go to Korea tc
force a showdown, The omitted
part read: 6

practices.
American business cannot pros
Der and contribute in growing

unless the opportunity to engage
in business and to provide con-
sumers with new and better prod

Referring to Senator Byrd as
