Mother Of Boy Shown
In Crime Feature Sues

The mother of a 19-year -old
youth arrested as a dope peddler
filed a $500,OOO libel suit against
Time Inc. yesterday in the U. S.
District Court for the District of
Columbia.
Acting in behalf of her son
Richard was Mrs. Jennie Murdza
of 2714 Ramblewood drive, District
Heights, Md.
Her action charged Time, pub
fishers of Life magazine, with
using her son as the central figure
in a two-page picture layout on
a narcotic raid made at a South
east night spot on the night of
January 5, 1852.
The suit complained that Life
described Richard as a dope
pusher" who preyed on teen-agers.
The article. the brief asserted,
said the boy had several heroin
capsules on his person when he
was arrested.
These statements. the mothers
suit alleged, were untrue.
The magazine article showed
photographs Of Richard in the
Penguin Club, in the 1900 block
Eleventh street Sc, and photo
of him behind bars in the central
cell block at the Municipal Center.
The former owners of the club,
Charles H. GWinn and Harold
Domke. both of 1916 M street NE,
filed a 100000 suit for damages
against Time Inc. on December
Is.
They alleged that as a result
of the crime feature, which ap-
peared in the January IA, 1852,
issue of Life, their business was
ruined.
The owners of the club said they
had co-operated with authorities.

Dear Martin:

deeply regret the necessity ex-

to private life. I have no course.
however, but to respect your
wishes, and to accept your res
ignation as of this date.
You will be both missed and
remembered. I say this not only
with the warmth of a friend,
but also as one deeply con-
cerned with all the problems
that are the special charge
OF the Department of Labor.
Your patient skill and rich
experience have been of unique
value, They have enabled you,
in remarkably short time, to
summon talent and to initiate
policies that can inspire a truly
effective Department of Labor
in the future.
Key to Democracy Strength.
You know. believe, beyond
the need of reiteration, my
personal conviction that the
principal key to the strength
of our working democracy is
the assurance of both indus
trial peace and the vitality of
our free labor unions.
The extent to which these
purposes can be served py the
Federal Government in large
measure depends upon the
vigor and capacity of our pe-
partment of Labor. You can
be sure that these simple con-
victions-Which I know, you
fully share and which have
governed our decisions to this
date-will prevail with equal
force in the future.
I sincerely extend to you my
warm wishes for a career of
renewed distinction in what
ever you undertake, and my
lasting appreciation for the
spirit of unselfish service that
has characterized your work in
this administration.
Sincerely,

The committee, headed by o.
Glenn Stahl, Civil Service Com
mission official, pointed out that
private industry and the military
long have had such college train
ing systems.
Large business organizations
have regularly devoted consider
able time and resources to the
development of their key staff
members" the committee de-
clared. Some have found it
necessary to establish training
centers of a staff college nature.
Examples are found in the Gen
eral Motors Institute. the Inter-
national Harvester School, the
Standard Oil Co. Center and
various Others"
Turning to the military, the
report pointed to the Army, Naval
and Air War Colleges, the Armed
Forces Staff College, the Indus
trial College of the Armed
Forces, and the National War
College. These schools are vital
in the training of young officers
for more vital commands, the
report noted.
Federal employees who would
be selected to attend the pro-
posed college would attend for
terms ranging from several
months to perhaps a year.
The report concludes: "a Fed
eral Administrative Staff College
would contribute to attracting
and holding high quality execu-
tive manpoWer in the upper

TALLY broaden the usefulness and
