Ten Witnesses
Due to Appear at
Initial Session

A Senate District subcommit-
tee VIII open hearings Wednes-
day morning on the bill to create
q separate family court in WASH
ington.
Ten witnesses have been sched-
uled for the initial session before
the judiciary subcommittee, Of
which Senator Barrett, Repub-
lican. of Wyoming, is chairman.
Chief Judge Bolitha J. Laws,
Of the u. s. District Court for
the District Of Columbia, is
scheduled. to testify first. He is
o staunch advocate Of the legis-
lation, which would remove juris-
diction in domestic relations
matters from his court to the
new tribunal.
Other Witnesses Listed.
Chief Judge Harold NJ. Ste
phens Of the Court of Appeals
will follow as another advocate
Of the change.
The Senate committee an
nounced yesterday that other
witnesses to appear include the
District Commissioners, Corpo-
ration Counsel Vernon e. West.
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Irving Bryan, q spokesman for
the Board Of Trade. Mrs. Hester
Stall of the American Association
Of Social Workers. q member Of
the Washington branch of the
American Association Of Univer-
sity Women. A. A. Shipe and
Jean M. Boardman, attorneys.
Mr.. Boardman, a divorce law
yer. is one of the bitterest critics
Of the family court proposal. He
issued a long statement yester-
day in which he sharply criticized
the District judges for sponsoring
the bill.
Charges Pressure on Lawyers.
Mr.. Boardman asserted the
judges had brought pressure to
bear upon lawyers to back the
proposal. He said the jurists
have glamoriZed their bill with
out spelling out the duties of the
proposed court.
The attorney also declared the
District Court docket could be
cleared up materially if the
judges would shorten their an
nual vacations from three to two
months.
The District Bar Association,
by a vote Of zoe to 157, recently
declared its opposition to the bill.
The lawyers urged. instead, that
additional judges be appointed to
District Court, leaving domestic
relations jurisdiction there.
The family court has the ac-
tive Endorsement of numerous
civic. church and welfare organi-
cations.
The Law and Legislation Com
mittee Of the Commissioners ADJ
visory Council has urged that do
nestle relations litigation be
transferred to Municipal Court.

Councilmen Moy Run

OF the six Montgomery County
councilmen who last June de-
clared they would not seek re-
election, several have apparently
had a change of heart.
During heated budget sessions
last year, the councilmen were
unanimous in their decision not
to run. Lately, Councilmen Gro
yer Walker. Democrat: Lathrop
Smith, Republican, and Louis A.
Gravelle, Republican, appear to
be edging toward availability for
reelection.
Council President Harold r.
Hammond and Councilman j.
Louis Monarch still emphatically
oppose reelection, but Council
man George r. Nesbitt, although
apparently Of the same mind,
may change his mind, friends
say. The seventh council men,
Der. Mrs. Stella B. Werner, has
announced she will seek re-elec-
ton.

about the Four H Clubs and the
different camping outings that
people are taking part in this
summer, that the thrills and ex-
element of my own camping eff

school the previous June when l
set off on my first attempt to
sleep under canvas and away
from my own family. One of my
school mates my own age, Alice
Barlow, and her sister 10 (short
for Josephine) aged nineteen
and boss of the trio, made up the
party. We set off from home
actually Alice and 10 lived out
on the Portsmouth road near the
Esher crossroads, while I lived
in Kingston by train and soon
after midday arrived at st. Mar
garet's Bay in Kent. Then it was
quiet little place, hardly more
than village, nestled among
the white cliffs between Dover
and Deal. l have not been back
there since so whether it has
been built up around like so

the Doodlebugs and w rockets

arts of camping in practice, al
though an ex-Girl Guide, left all
the camping arrangements to
Alice and 10, who with their
brothers had spent many such
vacations. The site was the cor
ner of a meadow about a mile
back from the cliff edge, pro-
tected on two sides by the trees
and underground of small cop
pice. We were high enough to
see over the hawthorne hedge
on the lower eastward side of the
meadow and could see out over
the channel and even the shore
of France on a very clear day.
One such view of the Continent
and even the houses along the
coast will always stick in my

The resume Of the life Of
Mickey Mouse probably was
closer to the, sort of thing Dis
ney's young fans had been ex-
pecting. It also was a fine ex-
ample of the manner in which
Disney appeals to such wide
range of ages. To older viewers
it was a. sort of nostalgia expe-
rience to follow Mickey from his
first appearance in an attempt
to emulate Lindbergh to the
unfortunate adventure as 1.-The
Sorcerer's Apprentice" in Fan
taSia."
At the same time, the younger
set sat there enchanted, because
all of the segments of Mickey's
life story were in themselves
good Disney.

These 'Disneyland" shows, in

color. though they will be tele-
cast for some time in black-and-

in monochrome, to do more for !;

himself almost monotonously to
the podium at the last bestowing
of the Motion Picture Academy
awards. He wound up with
enough Oscars to ballast an 30
foot schooner and left behind
the impression that he certainly
must know his way around the
entertainment trade.
This makes one hesitate to
question him, but still a small
nagging query arose last night
as he launched his new ABC
CWMAL television enterprise.
The question simply is this: Does
Mr.. Disney need, at this late
date, to waste time telling us the
sort of work he can do?
1t isn't a very serious question,
of course. Disney telling us what
he Is going to do can still be a
lot more enthralling than a lot
of people before the cameras ac-
tually doing their very best. The
fact still remains that the widely
heralded television event of last
night was still more a promise
than a debut.
The Disney prospectus was di-
vided into two parts--an exam
ination of some of these things
to come and a tracing of the
history of Mickey Mouse, the
fellow Disney credits with his
success. kaleidoscope it may
have been. it still was about 90
per cent delightful. If Disney
land" does not rack up stupen-
dous audience rating on coming
Wednesday nights either tele-
vision or televiewers had better
give UP.
"Disneyland," Mr.. Disney told
us last night, will cover four ma
jor entertainment realms-Fron-
tierland, Adventureland, Tomor-
rowland and Fantasyland. The
samples offered promised that
excursions into each are some
thing to await eagerly.
Adventureland, for instance,
seems to be close kin to Disney's
Real Life Adventure series al
ready seen in theaters. It prom
iSeS number of glimpSeS of
strange goings-on throughout
the world. both animal and
human. Not the least of these,
and something that can't turn
up too soon in one living room,
is Portuguese bull fighting. Bull
fighting, a brief filmed demon
stration during the Disney TV
show indicates. is different in
Portugal.
The idea here seems to be to
let the bull have some fun, too,
bowling over his opponents right
and left until they subdue him,
by brute force and not with a
sword. It's pretty funny bull
1ghtlng.

Frontierland also will be done
