Judge Charles C. Marbury
handed down the sentence IN
Upper Marlboro Circuit Court.
The same judges, hearing the
case without a jury, convicted
Mrs. Tenant two weeks ago Of
causing the death of James Ce-
Gil Henderson. jr., son of an
eStranged District couple.
SObs as She Hears Sentence.
Mrs. Tenant, At, sobbed when
the sentence was pronounced.
Her attorney. Frank M. Hall
of Upper Marlboro, said he had
at least 10 days to decide wheth-
er to appeal.
The sentence means that Mrs.
Tenant cannot be imprisoned
longer than three years, but she
can be paroled at any time with
in that period.
The court which sentenced
Mrs. Tenant has power, to
change the sentence within 80
days. Such a change. however.
is rarely made.
In usual practice, the Depart
ment of Parole and Probation
requires that defendants serve at
least one-third of the term be-
fore parole is considered.
Judge Gray, in imposing SEN
tence, said it was based primarily
mot as punishment to yourself,
but to serve notice to other per-
sons taking care of children that
they must be cared for prop
erly and not abused as this child
was"
Mr.. Hall told the, court before
sentencing that Mrs. Tenant
had no previous record. He said
she has one child of her own
and another adopted child.
Mrs. Tenant answered mo"
when the court asked if she had
anything to say.
The little victim was pro-
nounced dead April "a at Prince
Georges General Hospital, six
days after his mother put him
in Mrs. Tenants Maryland
Park nursery home, in the 400
block of Sixty-fifth avenue.
Unaware of Injuries.
Mrs. Tenant testified at her
trial that she did not know what
caused the boys injuries. but
she believed he had struck his
head against his crib.
Judge Gray said that the
court found no evidence of
malice by the defendant. But he
added that there is ineScapable
proof that the child's death was
brought about by your striking
him more than one blow"
THE court" Judge Gray said,
finds it difficult to accept the
hypothesis that death came
when you slapped the child IN
trying to bring him out of a con-
vulsion, because the kind of
blows you might have struck un-
der such circumstances hardly
would have been severe enough
to cause the conclusion and
brain hemorrhage."
Judge Gray told Mrs. Tenant
that the child evidently was a
problem for you. Its crying
seemed to have gotten on your
nerves. The abuse, however. was
completely uncalled for and un-
justifiable and must have re-
suited from your loss of self lf-con-

Traffic Is Issue
In Location Of
Potomac Span
Planners Soy Area
To Be Served Must
Be Controlling Factor

One of the big issues in de-
termining location of a new Po-
tomac River bridge is whether
the area east or west of Six
teenth street NV. is the more
important to be served, accord
ing to National Capital Plan
ming Commission officials.
The Importance of a decision
on this point was stressed by
the planners yesterday in a
bridge discussion during a lunch
con meeting of two Washington
Board of Trade committees at
the Willard Hotel.
John Nolen. jr., Planning
Commission director, argued that
a river span at Reaches Run
downriver from the Fourteenth
street railroad bridge-would
perform a more important func-
ton than the E street bridge
proposed by District officials.
ErOyhilI Repeats Plea.
He made the statement in
commenting on a joint study
project between the planners
and highway officials to draw
cost and other comparisons be-
tween the two bridge locations.
Representative Broyhill, Re-
publican, of Virginia, reiterated
his plea that the issue be settled
so that a united front can be
presented to Congress in arguing
for new bridges both to serve
downtown Washington and at
Jones Point, Alexandria.
Mr.. Nolen told the gathering
he agreed that mo one gains by
taking a disagreement to Capitol
Hill"
I'VE are trying to resolve tech
nical problems, he said. "All
are in favor of one bridge for
the perimeter and one for the
central area. The question is
which is the best location"
Estimate Lanes.
He said crossing from !
Reaches Run in Virginia to
Tenth street SW. in Washing
ton would add up to a total
of IA bridge lanes of traffic east |
of Sixteenth street NV. in
Washington, with 10 bridge lanes
west of Sixteenth street.
On the other hand, bridge |
at E street NV. would provide
a total of 16 bridge lanes west |
of Sixteenth street NV, with |
eight lanes east of that street.
MI Broyhill said he is COM
mitted personally to the Jones
Point bridge and the E street
site.
AS to funds for the approaches,
the legislator said. in response
to a question, he foresees no
problem in getting money for
the Virginia roads leading to the
bridges.
Bridge Plan IndOrSed.
When the House District
Committee. of which he is a
member, opens hearings on his
bill for bridge at Jones Point,
Mr.. Broyhill said, he hopes wit
neSSeS will bring no controversy
over central bridge site into
the testimony.
The Board of Trade already
has indorsed two bridges, one
on the perimeter of Washington
and one in the central area, the
luncheon meeting was told. But,
if only one bridge is to be built,
the trade body prefers the E
street site.
Two committees joined in the
session. They are the one on
railroads and transit lines, head
ed by John Mccormack, and one
on traffic and highway, headed |
by j, M. Sanders.

'NeutraIism' in
on Reds
Martyrs Of 'BIoodiest
Persecution Hailed
By Catholic Bishops

History cannot be kind to
statesmen "who retreated to the
refuge of polite neutralism"
while the bloodiest persecution
in all history" is being waged,
the Catholic Bishops of the
United States declared last night.
The persecution is a war on
religion and against "all men
who believe in God and His
Christ and against all who dare
to claim for man the liberty of
the sons of God" they said.
The bishops statement, called
Peters Chains" was issued at
their annual meeting here.
Paralleling the sufferings of
today's martyrs with the i'm
prisonment of Peter, the bishops
declared: Peter is again in
chains"
Some "Found Wanting"
Referring to statesmen, they
asked:
What shall we say Of those
ungenerous men, who in the
crisis of our times have been
found so sadly wanting-those
narrow sectarians who allowed
their petty or imagined griev-
ances to obscure the true great
ness OF our blessed martyrs?
"We shall leave them to God
and to the worm of conscience"
Their statement reflected on
the "heroic constancy of the
martyrs" Of the past and de-
clared modern martyrs are those
who are being prosecuted "in
every land now shrouded in the
gloom of communism.
Everywhere the Church Of
God, her sacred ministers and
her faithful children are the first
targets of the persecution and
millions of them have already
died for the faith"
Ask Prayer for Leaders.
The statement was a bitter
denunciation of communism and
a plea for prayer and penance
all in one. Catholics must de-
vote themselves to asking that
Gods grace be poured out in
super abundant measure to
strengthen those who hold the
place of honor and of danger
in the new warfare launched
against the church."
They declared that persons
are hunted down, imprisoned,
debased, tortured and slain.
Sick and helpless sisters are
dragged from their converts,
condemned to the slow death of
forced labor on roads, in forests
and in mines. or to the quicker
death of starvation.
Peasants are slaughtered and
flung upon the pyres of their
burning churches Innocent chill
dren are torn from the arms
of their Christian mothers
and handed over 10 atheist
debaucherS," the statement
charged.
This" the bishops said, sis a
war against the true religion of
Jesus Christ" 1t is a story of
"epic nobility, of unsurpassed
human granduer and the DEATH
less spiritual devotion.
DeplOres Indifference"
zone would have thought that
the Western world would rise as
one man to do them reverence.
would write their deeds of valor
in letters of enduring gold.
Instead" they charged, "in-
difference, scant notice or
silence. Only in the Catholic
press will you find the martyr
ology which the historians Of
tomorrow will account the great
est glory of today.
In summing up, the statement
called for a unison of protest.
a protest that will penetrate into
the consciences of all decent
men, into all the chancelleries of
the world, against this new

Drops 7 Police
In Beating Case
requirements Sought
By Council After
DISMISSED of Pair

BladenSburg had a ''help
wanted" sign out today for two
new policemen to replace Bryan
M. Dorsey and Elmer Thomp-
son, who were convicted Monday
Of beating a colored prisoner.
Disregarding pleas by Mayor
Otis L. Stevens to ignore the
Prince Georges County Circuit
Court conviction and retain the
two town officers, a three-mem-
Der majority on the Maryland
towns council. last night forced
their resignation.
The council softened the blow,
however. by voting 15-day sever
ance pay to each of the men.
Dorsey, who had been chief of
the towns four-man police force.
also was granted compensation
for two weeks accumulated an
nual leave. Thompson. a private
on the force, had no annual
leave coming.
Almost 100 persons attended
the two-and-a- half hour special
session of the council. The audi
ence seemed to be equally divided
on the question of keeping the
two officers.
Suspension Once Declined.
The council earlier had de-
cllned to suspend Dorsey and
Thompson. That was after
county police last August charged
them with assaulting Melvin L.
Franklin, jr., 10, colored, Of the
4400 block Of Forty-sixth street,
Bladensburg.
"I can't see where these men
can be OF any further use to the
town." Councilman Rider Penn
ington said last night in second
ing Mrs. Felix o. Cristofane'S
motion to dismiss the two officers.
Personally, I hate to see these
two gentlemen taken down in
this manner" he added, "but
they have been found guilty by
a jury of their peers-a jury
which took only As minutes to
make up its mind.
Mayor Doesn't Vote.
Leonard Simpson was the
other council member support
ing Mrs. Cristofane's motion,
which stated that if Dorsey and
Thompson did not resign i'm
mediately they would be con-
sidered dismissed. The officers
were present and resigned.
Councilman John P. Campbell
voted against the motion. Mayor
Stevens did not vote but he left
no doubt that he favored retain
ing the officers.
Il don't think much of the
way the trial was handled" Mr..
Stevens declared, in presenting
what he termed an unbiased re-
view of the court proceedings
which resulted in a six-month
prison sentence for Thompson
and a $3.50 fine for Dorsey.
Sentence Appealed.
Thompson was convicted of
assault and battery in the slap
stick beating of young Franklin
while he was being questioned in
the county police station in Hy-
attsville August Is. Dorsey was
convicted of assault. Both have
appealed and are free on bond.
Mayor Stevens was sharply
critical of the jury and of deputy
States Attorney Wilmer D. Pyles,
who prosecuted the case.
The verdict was not based on
evidence, but on the glamor pleas
of the States Attorney" he said.
I'm my opinion. the verdict was
not justified"
Strongest proponent of the dis
missal action in the audience was
Vincent A. Osterman, former
judge of the County Orphans
Court. He called the beating, a
"blemish on the town of Blad-
ensburg," and asked: What
right have we to criticize that
jury and that court?"
