Assailant Is Sentenced.
In Federal Court today the
robber, Samuel B. Lewis, jr., 18,
colored. an AWOL airman. was
sentenced to from 4 to IL
years for the assault on Mr..
Pearson and six other elderly
men.
Lewis pleaded guilty recently
to five robbery and two at
tempted robbery indictments.
Most of his victims were hos
pitalized.
The sentence was imposed by
Judge Luther w. Youngdahl in
the U. S. District Court for the
District of Columbia.
Police went to extraordinary
means to trap Lewis last winter
because of the vicious nature of
repeated crimes of proWler who
became known as the Phantom
Bandit" He was arrested while
attacking one of the victims.
Lewis was quoted as admitting
he crept up behind his victims
and beat them to prevent them
from getting a good look at him.
Hobbies Help Cheer Him.
While recuperating, Mr.. Pear
son has turned to his hobbies
in an effort to cheer himself up:
He devised some trick wheels.
ladders and toys for his para
keet. but another project stumps
him-the contemplation of a
scale model of the famed Boston
clipper, Flying Cloud.
In former years Mr.. Pearson
built a precise scale model of a
subchaser which won first prize
at a hobby show at the gun
factory. Before he lost his eye,
he had completed the hull and
mastS for the Flying Cloud.
Recently he was trying to fig
ure how he could drill the tiny
holes and knot the intricate
rigging of the Flying Cloud with
a single eye.

six months, I'm afraid, but I'll
have to make out, somehow. I
guess I'll be spending more time

quite mild and clear. Stephen
Pearson began to feel a bit
better. Illness had kept him
indoors all day, but now he told
himself:
"I'll just stroll over to the
doctors and get my new pre-
scription." Mr.. Pearson got his
hat and overcoat and told his
wife. Lena, that he would be
back shortly.
Mrs. Pearson and her sister,
Miss Verna Logan, who had
dropped by for a chat, were
watching the television in the
Pearson's cozy apartment on the
ground floor at Is Ninth street
NE.
The wife advised her husband
to bundle up properly and re-
turned her attention to the TV
screen.
Mr.. Pearson obediently bum
died up, whistled to his green
parakeet, and went out the door.
The Pearsons had acquired the
young parakeet a few weeks pre-
viously, after their only son went
to the army. They agreed he
made the place seem less lonely.
Enjoys View of Stars.
Once outside, Mr.. Pearson
looked around at the stars. They
were very brilliant that night of
January 81. he said, and seemed
nearer to him than they can
ever seem again.
Mr.. Pearson Strolled down the
familiar street, enjoying his out
ing. He and his wife had lived
in the neighborhood for years
while he worked as a shop in
spector at the Navy Gun Factory.
They were natives of Canada, but
long since had come to regard
Washington as their home. Both
had taken part in the affairs of
their community and church.
Mr.. Pearson visited his doctor,
at Seventh and East Capitol
streets, about $50 o'clock. He
had been under his care for sew
eral weeks because of a nervous
ailment. A small man, he was
underweight for his heighth, and
at SO had begun to look forward
to his retirement in a climate
where he could regain his health
in Florida, perhaps.
The doctor wrote out a new
prescription and Mr.. Pearson de-
cided to walk on to the neighbor-
hood drugstore, at Eighth and
East Capitol streets, to buy the
medicine. The employees there
were old friends and he chatted
for a while before leaving with
his package. This was about 9.
o'clock.
Loiterer Eyes Him.
On the sidewalk, Mr.. Pearson
noticed a man lettering near the
curb.
He was staring at me, with
his head thrust forward--a light
skinned Negro with asmall mus
tache. I glanced at him again,
thinking he might be an ac-
quaintance. But couldn't place
him, and he was still cycling me-"
Mr.. Pearson dismissed the
matter from his mind. He had
never been molested in the neigh
borhood, and the colored people
he knew there he regarded as
friends or at least acquaintances
with whom to exchange a pass
ing greeting.
II was born in Canada, you
know" he said, land never in my
life felt the least race conscious

Mr.. Pearson stroiled on toward
his homc-"just taking MY time"
he explained. He was wholly
unaware that O prowler had Sc
lected him because of his small
stature and advanced years
that he was being stalked along

Her biography does not give true meas

Miss Anders can sing and dance. She is a
trick rider and she can twist wicked lariat
as well as wicked hip. Also she is ventrilo-
quist and jujitsu expert.
Singing People
SHE didn't learn all this in Goose Egg, to
be sure. Her husband, Robert Zoris, is a
Greco Roman wrestler, as well as an adagio

over anxiety may lead the child to
stutter. She adds:
Children can outgrOW stutter-
ing if they are given proper guild
ance. Parents can do more than
anyone else for the child, since
in the early stages of suffering,
treatment is largely a matter of
eliminating environment tensions,
particularly in the home, and de-
velOping in the child a sense of
confidence and security"
Parents of children who stutter
should keep the following points
in mind, says Miss Clark:
/. Avoid fussing over his eating
habits or otherwise creating ten
sion at mealtime.
2. Never send him to bed in a
state of high excitement. Begin to
taper off his activities at least a
half hour before bedtime by read
ing or relating a quieting story
to him.
3. Slow down the tempo in the
home and encourage the child to
do everything slowly and easily.
4. Avoid undue excitement and
remove all sources of tension in
the particularly parental
pickering and quarreling. Curb
your own excitable tendencies
and those of other adults who
Milford chronicle., 1953-07-17

come in contact with the child.
5. Avoid making the child
speech conscious" by continually
correcting his speech. Don't make
him stop and repeat any particular
word with which he has had diff
Guilty. If you feel that some speech
guidance is necessary, simply sug-
gesft: Let's try to talk more
slowly; Mother doesn't hear so
well today"
s. Don't continually police" the
child and direct all his activities.
! z. Never punish or ridicule the
child when he shutters. Never make
him feel he is different or the OBJ
ject of pity,
8. Give the child frequent evil
dence of your affection. The child
who shutters, like every boy and
girl, needs the feeling of security
that can come only from the
knowledge that he is loved and
wanted.
Children with a cleft Of the pal
ate need surgery, otherwise they
will have a serious speech defect.
she says. And speech training
should be begun soon after the
palate has been repaired.
Here, too, it is important to give
the child sympathetic understand
ing and frequent encouragement.
Correction for the most part should
be confined to the speech lesson
itself and to one or two brief
good speech" periods during the
day when the child is expected to
make a special effort to put into
practice the speech patterns he is
learning.
There are several possible rea-
sons why little five-year-old John
doesn't talk, points out Miss
Clark. He may be retarded mental
~ his hearing may be impaired,
or he may have some other handi-
cap which interferes with speech.
Also' she suggests, a child may be
perfectly normal in all respects
except his ability to use the mus
cles necessary for speech.

New Jersey finally has concluded
the 5-year-old Trenton murder
case which drew Nationwide

All six originally were con-
victed and sentenced to die in

several trials, four eventually
were acquitted and one died in
