Appeals Court Back.
$4,000 Judgment
Against Hospital

The U. S. Court Of Appeals for
the District of Columbia today
upheld a $4,000 damage judg-
ment returned in mid 1850 by a
District Court jury against Gar
field Hospital.
The Judgment was in favor of
Noel Marshall and her father,
George c. Marshall, Of 203 West
Greenway boulevard, Falls
Church. The award was de-
scribed at the time as one Of the
largest in recent court records.
Negligence Charged.
The case involved the pre-
mature birth of Noel Marshall,
now spastic child, 6 years old.
Mrs. Lucy Marshall, the mother,
contended the hospital was neg
ligent and that hospital physi-
clans were not available as the
birth drew near.
At the trial it was contended
at the birth the child's head was
bumped on the delivery table
and injured.
Attorneys for the hospital
argued the institution was not
negligent and that the hospitals
actions were not shown to have
caused the child's brain injury.
It alleged a number of errors in
the trial.
Trial Adjudged Fair.
The appeals court decision by
Judge Wilbur K. Miller said the
case was carefully and fairly
tried" and that no reason was
found to disturb the Judgment.
Tried at the same time was a
suit by the child and her father
against DR.. Roger ODonnell, jr.,
Mrs. Marshall's private physi-
clan. The case against DR..
ODonnell was dismissed by the
trial. judge. The appeals court
held there was no basis for
charging DR.. O'Donnell with
negligence and upheld the trial
court in directing the verdict in
his favor.

Young Urges
Repeal Of Ban
On Back Leave
Three Reasons Cited
At House Hearing
On Thomas Rider

The administration today asked
Congress to repeal the Thomas
use-it-or-lose-it annual leave
rider.
Chairman Philip Young Of the
Civil Service Commission pre-
sented the administrations views
as the House Civil Service Com.
mittee opened hearings on legis-
lation to repeal the rider.
Mr.. Young urged the riders
repeal Gin the interests of eff
cient management and equitable
personnel practice"
The Thomas rider forbids Fed
eral employees from further
accumulation of annual leave.
Under its provisions, employees
must use all of their 1852 leave
by June 80 and all of their 1858
leave by June 80, 1854. All leave
not used by those dates is for
feited.
Three Reasons Cited.
Mr.. Young said the admins
tration felt there were three basic
reasons for repeating the Thomas
rider.
First, he said, Government
workers have no financial pro-
lection against unemployment,
pointing out the Federal en-
ployes have no unemployment
compensation benefits. Mr..
Young said:
1--WE think that Government
employees should have about the
SAME working conditions and
benefits as employees in progress
sive private companies Until
they are covered by an adequate
plan Of unemployment insur-
ance or severance pay, I feel that
Government workers must be
permitted to accumulate a rea-
sonable portion of their annual
leave as protection in case they
lose their jobs"
The second reason given by
Mr.. Young was that it would
permit more efficient adminis-
tration in Government. There
are times during the year when
some Government agencies have
particularly heavy workloads and
cannot spare their employees any
time off, he said. This situation
results either in loss of produc-
ton and added replacement costs
or in the loss of leave by em-
ployes.
Some Action Sought.
The riders repeal will also
result In more effective and
equitable Federal personnel
management; the personnel chief
declared. He pointed out that
new Federal employees earn only
13 days leave a year. Many Of
these employees come from dis
tant States and therefore need
sufficient leave in order to take
vacations. The current ban on
leave accumulation makes this
impossible in many cases and
has resulted in poor employe mo-
rale, Mr.. Young said.
Mr.. Young said that if Con-
gress does not get around to the
repeal of the rider by June 80
through regular legislation, it
should at least extend the leave
use to December 81 by amend
ing the Thomas rider to this
effect.
The commission chief prom
ised that if Congress repeals the
rider the administration will de-
velop a program to make sure
that employees are required to
take a reasonable amount of va.
cation each year and that un-
usual amounts of leave accumu.
lation are not permitted.

Light Sentences
Given 10 7 on
Gambling Tax
a Leave Court Free
After Claim They
Cont Poy Fines

A pattern Of unpaid fines,
suspended sentences and proba-
ton showed up yesterday in the
sentencing OF seven persons who
had pleaded guilty to violating
the gambling tax stamp act.
Three others received sentences
to run concurrently with jail
terms they already are serving.
All were described as small
time gamblers who had been
convicted earlier on gambling
counts. Sentencing on the stamp
act had been held up pending
the outcome of the Supreme
Court test of the act.
All Four Leave Free.
Municipal Court Judge Thomas
c. Scalley imposed a $1,000 fine
the minimum required by the
law-on four persons. Since he
gave no alternative Jail sentence
in lieu of payment of the fine,
and the four claimed they
didn't have the $1,000, they all
walked out free. The Govern
ment cannot get the $1,000 from
each Of the four unless the
prosecutors decide to file civil
suits.
These four were Catherine B.
Hale, IS, colored, Of the 100
block of Chicago street Sc:
Joseph A. Stanfield, 81, colored.
Of the 1900 block of Eleventh
street NV; Lydia Wilson, 43,
colored, and Mildred Stannard.
Al, colored. both of the 200 block
of l. street S.W.
Judge Scalley imposed a 81 900
fine or an alternative jail SEN
tence in three cases and then
suspended the sentences and
placed the defendants on proba-
ton.
These three were Travis Wells,
n, Of the first block of P street
NE, whose alternative was six
months in jail: julius c. Har-
rington, colored. of the TOO block
of Fairmont street NV, whose
alternative was 80 days in Jail,
and Irene Pearson, 80, colored,
of the 200 block of E street NE,
whose alternative was 80 days in
jail.
Cases involving persons now
serving time for gambling Of
fenses included Alvin Harvey,
colored. who received a $1,000
fine or go days in jail to run con-
currently with his present term:
Clifton r. Payne, colored, 81, 900
or 80 days concurrently, and
Thaddeus Riddick, colored, ST.
900 or so days concurrently.
10 Others Plead Guilty.
Since the Supreme Court held
the act to be constitutional last
month, 10 others, already in Jail
on gambling counts, pleaded
guilty to the tax stamp charges
and receive sentences Of $1,000
or an alternative of from Is to
80 days in jail to run concur
rently with their present terms.
A total of more than 60 cases,
dating back to the time the tax
stamp law was put in effect de-
cember /. 1851 are scheduled to
be pressed in Municipal Court.
New cases will be appended to
the regular gambling indictment
and tried with the gambling
counts in the u. S. District Court
for the District of Columbia.

y. N. Also Guilty Of reochery
If Rhee Is Traitor, Then What About British Trading
And Continued Relations With Communist China?
David Lowrence:

The governments of Great
Britain, France and the
United States may regret some
day their cavalier treatment
of the government of the Re-
public of Korea and especially
the accusation that the latter
he's been guilty of "treachery"
to the United Nations Com
kland.
History will recount that the
treatment of this small nation
by the major powers was replete
with incidents that may we'll
raise the question Of whether
the "treachery" Of the U. N.
didn't come first and provoke
the action of President Rhee
in releasing the anti -Commu-
mist prisoners in his jurisdic-
ton.
For, if the record Of
"treachery" Is to be opened up
to impartial review, it may
come to mean that any inde-
pendent action by a sovereign
government out of harmony
with it's allies is a breach of
faith if it occurs during a war
in which presumably there
had been a common cause.
Thus was it or was it not
"treachery" for the British
government to send rubber to
Soviet Russia during the Ko-
rean war?
Was it "treachery" for the
allies to put pressure on the
American Government so as to
reverse the recommendation of
its Joint Chiefs of Staff that
enemy airplanes be pursued to
their bases when they were at
tacking United Nations forces?
Was it "treachery" when,
after the Korean war began,
the British government car
ried on diplomatic relations
with the Red China govern
ment despite the fact that the
u. N. had condemned the gov
ernment of Red China as an
aggressor?
Wasn't it "treachery" when
the Soviet government ad-
mitted publicly during a
United Nations debate that it
had been supplying arms and
ammunition to Red China and
the North Korean Commu-
mist armies? Why didn't the
governments of the United
States, Great Britain and
France send notes to the Mos
COW government denouncing
such "treachery" against other
members of the United Ma
tions, which was seeking to
