Parts of the family center used
for work with adults are equally
attractive. Reception rooms are
scattered about the building and
each member of the staff has an
Office for private consultations.
Unlike Most Courts.
The court room is unique in
several respects. 1t is relatively
small. paneled room of great
dignity. Yet it's intimate atmos-
phere Is unlike that Of most
courts.
For one thing. the witness
chair is in front Of the judge
bench. A witness on the stand
looks directly at Judge Alexan-
der. The clerk is seated at a
desk behind the witness and the
court reporter is off to one side,
There are two small tables for
attorneys but no jury box and
no seats for spectators. While
trials are open to the public.
few persons come in to stand at
the back of the room.
Some time in the future, the
center will be enlarged to include
a court room for jury trials.
Meanwhile, whenever a jury case
is to be heard. Judge Alexander
moves across the street to room

Alexander is asking the COM

money is for the two juvenile
departments. Only $66.386 Of
the total is earmarked for do

Last year. the domestic rela-

Obviously, such case load
could not be handled alone by
one judge. Judge Alexander gets
an occasional assist from asso-

by Charles d. Rice

W7HEN you come to think it over, one of
w the really nice things about our hectic
life today is that the Cinderella industry is
still going strong Several hundred years of
storm and strife have failed to bankrupt the
business, and the latest case we've run across
seems particularly pleasant one. 1t involves
pert young parcel named Dolores Mann,
who got to play the heroine in MY Three
Angels a Broadway hit that's now on
coast-to-coast tour
Miss Dolores is California girl who, like
most California girls, always wanted to be
an actress. She actually got to play few
bits on Los Angclcs TV prograr:cc

once she even held up new-style egg beater

IHEN came really big break. Miss
Dolores was recommended by friend to
playwright Bella Spewack. Mrs. Spewack,
who can only be described as dynamo in
mink coat, is the lady who adapted MY
Three Angels" from the French. She and her
husband Sam were out in La Jolla to stage
production of the play for the La Jolla

the Broadway production of my Three

Spewack was faced with the problem of
recasting the play for nationwide tour.
She thought of Dolores and phoned her long
distance at La Jolla The phone was discon-
nected. She phoned friend in La Jolla who
knew Dolores. The friend didn't know where
the girl was, but he knew friend who might.
Mrs. Spewack called the friends friend.

Rigamajig who once roomed with Dolores.
Mabel could not be reached.
Mrs. Spewack, having invested nearly
$100 in the phone company, was about to
give up. But fortunately for Dolores and our
story, she found one more number in her
address book - that of an assistant stage
manager who used to take Dolores out for
sodas at La Jolla Success! Sure, he knew
where Dolores was - back in Los Angeles.
She was trying to save enough money to get

read into the record a summary
by the committee staff of 10
charges made by persons who OPP
posed Warren's nomination.
Snithey said the staff had not
tried to establish the truth or fall
sity of the charges but only listed
those which, if true, "would APP
pear to be =. within the investi-
gatory jurisdiction of the COM
mittee."
Watkins and Senate Republican
Leader Knowland of California
interposed protests against this
procedure, and the open, televi-
sion-filmed meeting soon after
ward broke up in a row.
Knowland later called the pro-
ceedings "the most shocking event
l have observed in my eight years
in the Senate"
And Vice President Nixon, also
of California, said in a statement
to newsmen that the charges
against against Warren were
completely fantastic and patent
ly false"
He added that the Judiciary
Committee rather than wasting
its time investigating the charges
could we'll spend some time inves-
tigating those who made them"

Kotzebue Woman
Drives Dogs To
Save Husband

KOTZEBUE, R-Not all Eski-
mos know how to run a dog team
Bertha George learned the hard
way.
The young woman's feat of en-
durance took her over 80 miles of
frozen tundra in far below zero
weather in the dead of the arctic
night, running most of the dis
lance behind a team hauling her
burned husband, Raymond, to the
nearest village.
She probably saved his life,
physicians at the Alaska Native
Service hospital here report. He
has a good chance of complete
recovery and another trapping
season in the wilderness.
Her story:
They were trapping alone on
the Seward Peninsula. She was
awakened by an explosion and his
screams. She jumped from under
her heavy reindeer robes and saw
him enveloped in flames. A gaso-
line tank had exploded.
She pushed him out of the tent
into a snoWbank and rolled him
about until the fire was snuffed
out. She rubbed his scorched flesh
with butter and tore strips from
her own clothing to make ban
dages.
With no previous experience
handling nine unruly malemutes,
she managed to hitch them to the
sled, and place her half-conscious
husband aboard. Then began her
wild run for help.
The trail was rough. Steep down
grades threatened several times to
upset them. Using all her young
strength, she rode the brake on
doWngrades and ran behind, push
ing, much of the way.
Finally they reached the near
est village, and help.

Saturday to recommend to the full
committee favorable action on
Earl Warren'S nomination to be
chief justice of the United States.
Chairman LANCER R-NDD said
the vote to make a favorable rec
ommendation was not unanimous,
but he declined to disclose the
vote
Sen. Walker R-Idaho), a mem
Der of the full committee who sat
in on the closed session, told a
reporter, however, that the vote
was unanimous.

checked charges against Warren,
former Republican governor of
California, were placed in the
public record

public record on Langer's order.
The four other members Of the
subcommittee disclaimed any adj
vance knowledge of the plan.
LANCER said the full Judiciary
Committee would meet Wednes-
day to consider Warren'S nomina-
ton, submitted 10 the Senate by
President Eisenhower on Jan. IL.
Sen. EastIand D-Miss), first to
leave tn suocon3mi tees closed

group recommended confirmation
Of Y arren u the full Judiciary
Committee without objection.
But LANCER later told reporters
he had voted merely to refer this
to the full committee for action"
Sen. Eastland had described the
sensational charges against War
ren as a "lot Of rubbish" Sen.
Watkins R-Utah also had de-
nounced them as "a lot of tommy
rot"
At meeting Friday, called by
LANCER, the subcommittee public
~ spread on the record charges it
said it had received. Among these
were allegations that Warren had
followed the Marxist line, had ap-
pointed dishonest judges to office,
and had been under the control of
"a notorious liquor lobbyist"

Ambassador Bonnet, once an
