Government buying to stop
under plan established a year
ago.

Ohio Student Held
For Jury Action in
StrangIing Of Coed
BY the Assoe,ated Pres.

UPPER SANDUSKY, Ohio.
Sept. 25.-Dead-pan and silent,
Roy Roger Schinagle, jr., waived
preliminary examination on a
first-degree murder charge today
and was bound to the grand jury
without bond.
Schinagle. 19-year-old Ohio
Wesleyan University sophomore
accused of the murder of his
campus sweetheart, pretty Gym
thia Pfeil, 10, of White Plains.
N. Y, was taken before Justice
of the Peace L. c. Schoenberger
shortly after 10 am. (EDT).
Silent at Hearing.
The arraignment was brief.
Schinagle entered the Justice of
the Peace Court with Sheriff
Dean McAllister. Only. other per-
sons present were the youths
attorney, R. H. Stansbery OF
Upper Sandusky, and a few
newsmen. Schinagle did not
speak, He stood silent and the
expression on his face remained
the same-calm and unemo-
tional.
Authorities said they expected
the grand jury to go into session
sometime within the next two
weeks.
Schinagle, a fraternity boy
who says he wants to be a mini
ster, confessed killing Cynthia
a week ago last night, Sheriff
McAllister said.
Letters From Student.
Meanwhile, officials at Witten-
berg College in Springfield. Ohio,
denied one of their co-eds was
involved in a triangle which po-
lice believe may have led to the
murder.
officers found three letters in
Schinagle's Delaware (Ohio)
room from the Wittenberg girl
and one he wrote but never
mailed to her.
Delaware County Sheriff Earl
Fravel said the letters showed
there obviously" was some feel
ing between the two. The girl
wrote Economically and signed
at least one letter with love-" he
said.
Other letters found in the
room where Cynthia had lived
while working temporarily in
: Cleveland added to police suspi-
cions that Schinagle was grow
ing tired of the girl he said he
intended to marry.
David E. Kerr, captain of the
Cleveland police departments
homicide squad, said he found
a letter to Cynthia from Schi-
nagle indicating he was reluctant
to marry her. Schinagle, OF
Mayfeld Heights, told police he
was responsible for Cynthia's
pregnancy. And in a letter.
Capt. Kerr said, he quoted a
supposed section of Ohio law as
saying that when a girl was older
than a boy the boy was not re-
sponsible as far as pregnancy is
concerned.
Capt. Kerr said he was told by
acuualntances of Miss Pfeil in
Cleveland that Schinagle had
beaten her several times while
both were freshmen last year at
Ohio Wesleyan.

Brief Challenging
Gaming Tax Studied

The Municipal Court of Appeals
is considering a brief filed yester-
day which would call the Fed
eral gambling tax stamp law un-
constitutional.
The brief defending ruling by
Municipal Court Judge Thomas
c. Scalley was filed by Attorneys
Walter E. Gallagher and Myron
G. Ehrlich on behalf of Frank
Lewis. 81. of the first block of
Defrees street NV. Lewis is
charged with failing to obtain
the $50 stamp.
A week ago the United States
Attorneys Office filed plea ask
ing the higher court to reverse
Judge Scalley'S decision. The
judge declared over two months
ago that the law violated the
Fifth Amendment to the Con-
Stitution by forcing gamblers in
the District to incriminate them
selves.
Last spring Supreme Court
decision validated the law in the
States. It was pointed out that
the tax stamp act, Federal
statute, would not force gamblers
to incriminate themselves under
other Federal laws, but under
State laws. Therefore the Fifth
Amendment does not apply.
However, in the District, the
Tax Stamp Act would force gam
blers to incriminate themselves
under Federal gambling statutes,
Judge Scalley decided.

As Hard as Pulling Teeth

The District unit of the American Society
of Dentistry for Children held panel discus
sion the other day on how to prepare child
for his first trip to the dentist. Why should
not something also be done along these lines
for the adult?
This is not case of coaxing the first olive
from the bottle. 1t seems that each trip is Just
as hard as the first, and each time the checkup
is due there is the same dreadful anticipation
of the hours long 20 minutes in the chair. There
is the horrifying thought that the mouth prob
ably is full of teeth which are falling apart and
which therefore will require ceaseless drilling
and probing. The teeth undoubtedly are so far
gone that half of them will need pulling.

Take It-Or Else

Rugged individualism crops up at times in
the most unexpected places. The most recent
case to hit the front pages is that of Harrison
County, Ohio, an independent little neighbor-
hood of about 10000 population, that says it
doesn't want any more gift money from the
Federal Government. AS might be expected,
such an unorthodox attitude creates all sorts
of problems-in fact, when laid end to end, they
reach from Washington to Columbus.
What Harrison County doesn't want, spe-
cifically, is about $500 allotted to it under the
Federal-State program of aid to the perma-
nently and totally disabled. Unfortunately,
Federal contribution of about $28 million to the
State of Ohio appears to depend upon uniform
local acceptance of the funds. Accordingly, the
State government is bringing pressure on Har
rison County by threatening to hold back all
State aid for any purpose and to seek court
order directing county acceptance Of this par
ticular Federal grant. One or both OF these
moves is apt to bring little Harrison into line,
but it has had its day in the sun. Indeed. 1t
probably has earned itself more adniring re-
spect than could be purchased for many times
the $500 at issue.

that Baby came for that captures even
the calendar to make obeisance at the

The adventure of Advent is sug-
gested by the question: Where did

It is not the low cry of baby to

In any age is adventure. And it was

Word becoming flesh involved the
greatest of adventures on Gods part.
The word became flesh. If we look at
that profound statement long enough
it becomes incandescent, as if all the
blazing lights of Christmas were in it.

of the discovery of the
Murdered bodies of Franz Frehr and

November 20. When found it was

by being struck with hammer. Their

the day of their disappearance, was
being sought by the police. Mean
while, Louise Lindholm, his house.

The Bridge Confusion Grows

AS if the battle of the bridges were not con-
fused enough, Virginia has joined in with
conSultants' report which is certain to enliven
the battle. AS a result, efforts of Representa-
tive Broyhill and others to bring about united
front on the Potomac River bridge problem
" before Congress meets have been dealt severe
blow
The report released by Governor Battle not
only toSSeS two new bridge plans into the center
of the controversy but turns thumbs down on
highway project on which it had seemed
& that everybody was agreed, namely, the long
advocated belt highway around Washington.
q The report, prepared by Connecticut consult
ing firm on authority of the General Assembly,
will carry great weight with the Legislature and
4 the Virginia Department of Highways. Espe-
cially appealing to the authorities in Richmond
will be the proposal that the Federal Govern
ment bear the expense not only of most of
the bridge construction but of many miles Of
"expressway" approaches in nearby Virginia.
The consultants completely ignoring the
street bridge proposal, recommended new
bridge Immediately above Key bridge, across
the Three Sisters islands. This bridge would
carry traffic between M street, in Georgetown,
and the Virginia shore in the Spout Run area,
connecting there with the George Washington
Memorial Parkway and with new expressway
Church in swing southwark to Arlington
boulevard A second bridge would be built below
the railroad bridge, in the general location
favored by the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission staff for central-area span.
Instead of an outer belt highway linking pro-
posed bridges at Cabin John and Jones Point
(Alexandria), as planned by Federal, District
and Maryland authorities. the report advised
an inner belt from Spout Run to U. S. Route l.
There are many other suggestions in the thick
report.
At least, Virginia has given Congress some
new highway and bridge ideas to null over
when it takes up Metropolitan Area trafhc
problems Meanwhile. District engineers and
NCPC officials will be studying the Virginia rec
concentrations in the light of their own studies
and against the background of their own plans
No meeting of the minds can be expected in the
confused atmosphere now prevailing. 1t Will
take a wise Congress to untangle the situation
and get the badly needed construction program
started
