Inability to Remember
Is Assoiled by Boumon

Mr.. Bauman-Well, now, in
spector. as a police officer you
have on many occasions been
called upon to testify in cases
in court. is that correct?
A. That is right.
@. And do I understand that
if somebody asked you a ques-
ton about an event that tram
spired more than a month pre-
vious to the time that you were
testifying that you would say
on the witness stand that you
cannot remember a anything
more than q month back?

have lived on cash; is that cor
rect?
A. must have.
@. And paid your expenses out
of your pocket: is that right?
A. Yes. I had very little ex-
pense.
@. In short, Inspector, for 3h
months, from September /, 1947,
through December Is, 1947, you
received six pay checks, three
of which you deposited and three
of which you cashed. is that
right?
A. Probably so. If I got six
and cashed three.
@. You thus had a total cash
available Of $535 in your pocket
during this period from three
pay checks that you cashed; yet
during this period the record
shows that you deposited $1.415
in cash.
A. When was that?
@. During the period from
September /, 1947. through De-
cember Is, 1947; in that period

$685., and yet in that identical
period you deposited cash total
ing $1,415 In your account in
the Seat Pleasant Bank. Where
did you get the money?
A. I don't know whether I
sold my car in that time or not.
@. Inspector, the records do
not show the sale Of any car by
you at that time.
A. Well, I can't remember de-
posting all of that money in
that period of time.
The chairman-That would
be an average of $400 q month.
That would be a substantial sum
compared to your salary. would
it not?
A. Certainly would, sir.
The chairman-You cannot
remember where you obtained
this $1,400?
A. I can't remember those
transactions.
Mr.. Bauman-During this six
months period, Inspector, from
January through June, 1948.
not only were you not living of
your pay checks, or out of your
bank account, but you were
managing to make cash depos-
its during this six months Pc
riod. AS a matter of fact, &C
cording to the records on March
80, 1948, you deposited $500 in
cash into your account, 10 days
later, Inspector, you deposited
$3.50 in cash into this account.
And according to the records,
on June 9, 1948, $50 in cash in
your account. In other words,
during this period of time, In
spector,@ your pay checks were
not going for your living ex-
penses, no amount of money
drawn from your bank account
was going for your living ex-
penses, and you deposited the
total of $1,010 in your account
How did you manage to live
for that six months period?
Mr.. Bullock don't remem-
ber that.
Mr.. Bauman-Where did you
get the money to live during
that six months period?
Mr.. Bullock-The only way ]
can see I got it from her. II
you have accounted for all OF
mine.

@. Would you be willing to
stand up on the witness stand
in court and say that you can
not remember more than a
month back, Inspector?
Senator Welker. Let us keep
1t less argumentative.
Mr.. Bauman. Yes, sir.
Mr.. Bullock. Mr.. Senator, as I
told them yesterday. I am in bad
physical shape. The doctor says
I have high blood pressure, gave
me some phenobarbital to take.
I am physically and mentally
sick.
Senator Welker. I am sure,
since you addressed your an
Swer to me, that counsel and
any member of this committee,
the chairman or any member,
does not want to take advantage
of you. We will try to do this
as orderly as possible. AS I
before indicated to you, Mr..
Inspector, I am astounded at
the evidence I have heard here
in the last Is minutes, and if
you do retain your health, we
shall be glad to get any explana-
ton that you might offer to the
committee. I am sure that the
chairman joins me In that.
The Chairman. The chair GER
tainly does. sir. In that state
ment.

.TwoEx-Members
|baIk al Jobs on
Arlington Board
Three Are Declared
To Be Still in Office
| In Circuit Court Paper

Two of the three former Ar
lington County Board members
declared to be still in Office in a
paper filed in the Circuit Court
do not want the job.
Harry w. Cuppett. Arlington
hardware dealer, said the duties
lof the Office require too much
time. Edmund D. Campbell. an
attorney, said he would decline to
serve in any Office to which he was
not elected. Basil M. DeLash-
mutt, a survey engineer, couldn't
be reached for comment.
The three are declared to be
still in Office because their sue
cessors were Federal employees. A
recent ruling by Judge Walter T.
Mccarthy of the County Circuit
Court bars Federal workers from
local Office. He based his [eci-
sion on an old Virginia statute.
Appeal Hearing Wanted.
Ironically. Mr.. Campbell is one
of the attorneys retained by the
County Board to fight the ban on
Federal workers. The case has
been appealed and will be heard
by the State Court Of Appeals
during the week of June 9.
The new twist to the court rul-
ing, which has resulted in bitter
controversy in Arlington. is con-
tanned in a motion to dismiss q
condemnation suit brought by the
County Board last year.
Mrs. Florence Cannon, Daniel
A. Dugan and Robert w. Cox are
the three members elected while
employed in the Federal Govern
ment who participated in the vote
resulting in the condemnation
suit.
Mrs. Cannon has since been
succeeded by Alan L. Dean. an
other Federal employe, whose
right to hold Office was denied in
the ruling by Judge Mccarthy.
Suit Over Storm Sewer.
The condemnation suit asks
the court to grant the county a
10-foot easement for a storm
sewer across the property of Her.
bert and Jean Downs of 6719
North Williamsburg boulevard.
| Attorney Frank L. Ball, jr., asks
dismissal of the suit in behalf of
the. Downs. He contends the
board lacked authority because
three of its members were not
qualified for Office.
He cites Section 80 of the Vir-
Iginia Constitution as the basis for
naming the former board mem
bers as the legal members of the
beard. It reads in part:
"All officers, elected or ap-
pointed, shall continue to dis
charge the duties of their offices
after their terms Of service have
expired until their successors
have qualified.
An Awful Lot Of Work.
Mr.. Cuppett said: "I have the
greatest respect for Judge Nc
Carthy. and if he ruled that I
must serve until someone is
named as the legal successor, I
would do it. But it's an awful lot
of work.
Mr.. Campbell said: Thanks for
the compliment, but am running
for Congress from the 10th Dis
trict, and I hope the people will
elect me to that position. George
Washington was once a council
man of Alexandria County Of
which Arlington was then a part.
His claim to the Office might be
better than mine. Besides a Fed
eral employe is entitled to that
seat now. and I intend to see
that he keeps it."
The case has been set for argu-
ment before Judge William D.
Medley at 10 a.m..June 13.

as much as a misdemeanor. He
has to talk it over with the

He walks into the Inspectors

I
GETTING THE RIGHT START
| Some one said there is one sure
way to tell how old you are, Just
ask. ''What is your attitude when
you arise in the morning?" Youth
wakes up with a sense Of wonder,
expectancy. Age. on the other
hand, arises destitute Of hope and
expectancy. To youth. each day
lis q new adventure: to age, each
day is like every other. Yet many
elderly men have the verve of
their twenties. And too many
young men have decrepit spirit.
Age is not a matter Of years but
|of response to life. One can keep
young by making each day an ad-
venture for God.
