Scores Government
For Pressing Case

Federal Judge James w. Nor
ris today granted a Judgment of
acquittal for Robert E. Bowen.
former Army engineering official
in Germany charged with agree
ing to accept or accepting money
from an architectural associa-
ton for services performed while
he was employed by the Govern
ment.
In acquitting Mr.. Bowen,
Judge Morris delivered a scath-
ing criticism of the Government
for pressing the case without
one scintilla Of evidence"
"It's the most deplorable case
I've ever listened to-" the judge
declared. THE Government
couldn't have the temerity to
ask the jury to convict a person
on the evidence that has been
presented in this case"
He then said he would grant
the motion. for judgement of
acquittal as asked BY Defense
Attorneys Merideth C. Coffman
and Joseph Salisbury.
The Government had rested
its case after a German archi-
tect had testified concerning a
meeting of architects and Mr.
Bowen about three months be-
fore Mr.. Bowen left Government
employ in June, 1851. The wit
ness, Friedrich Spiehage, denied
that any agreement was entered
into concerning payments to
Mr.. Bowen for obtaining Army
contracts. The proceedings took
place on the U. S. District Court
for the District of Columbia.

Health School 10 Buy
Buses TO Transport
Crippled Children
-
By jones 6. Deone

The District school system to-
day was authorized by the Com
missioners to buy four school
buses to transport crippled chill
dren attending the two Health
Schools.
The move followed failure of
Capital Transit Co. to bid for
renewal Of a outstanding con-
tract to transport the children.
Charles N. zeI1ers, school sys-
tenn business officer, said four
drivers and four attendants will
be hired to man the buses. Two
drivers also will be hired to man
new carryall vehicles already
scheduled for purchase for the
Health School service.
Mr.. zellers said operating its
own bus fleet will save the
school system money. The bus
personnel will be assigned to
other work part of the time,
ne said.
About 1876 crippled youngsters
are expected to attend the two
schools in the fall. The major
ity of pupils have been trans
ported by Capital Transit in the
past, but some have been car
ried to and from home in school
carryalls.
The four new buses will be
the first owned by the District
public schools, however.
All private firms holding con-
tracts with the District must
agree to practice no race dis
elimination against employees or
job applicants. Capital Transit
does not employ Negro bus driv-
erS.
A Capital Transit spokesman
said he did not know why no bid
was made, however.

When all tests are done, when
the doctor feels he's sure at
last, should he tell the sick man
sitting across from his desk that
some cells have gone terribly
wrong-that he has the disease
named cancer?
Or does he skip over it, never
mentioning the word, feeling it
is better the man should never
know?
It's a tough decision to make,
q tough one to take.
And no one seems to know
which is right.
While no conclusion was
reached unanimously, District
and Virginia doctors staged a
discussion of what to tell the
cancer patient yesterday. They
aired the powerful question at
their last scientific session OF
: the First Interstate Scientific
Assembly.
Ministers on Panel.
Appearing on a panel dis
cussing the subject were two
ministers, a psychiatrist. two
surgeons and a lawyer.
The Very Rev. Francis B
Sayre, jr., dean of Washing
ton Cathedral, said he believes
the truth should be told' every
patient. For to disguise the
truth, he said, a doctor assumes
the patient cant take it." And
there are many who can take
the bitter truth and rise to
greater heights because of it, he
added.
MANY doctors are afraid to
tell the truth because they fear
a scene" Dean Sayre said. "1s
decorum the aim, or is it to face
life and death?" he questioned
He asked that doctors not
evade the truth on the basis
that their concern is only with
the body-and not the soul.
Surgeon Agrees.
Agreeing with Dean Sayre was
: DR.. Owen H. Wangensteen OF
the University of Minnesota
Medical School. A surgeon, DR.
Wangensteen, who tells his pa
tients I'VE need to realize how
important it is to be sincere"
- On the other side was a psy-
chiatrist, DR.. Arthur M. Suther-
land of the Memorial Center for
Cancer and Allied Diseases in
New York.
DR.. Sutherland said mo stand
ard" exists in the problem. He
pointed out that the knowledge
one has cancer often leads to
-depressions or a refusal Of cor
rective surgery-sometimes even
suicide, he added.
No doctor can tell how his
patient will receive the news,
DR.. Sutherland said. A certain
risk is involved, especially If the
cancer may be durable. DR.
Sutherland concluded that "the
manner and timing" of the an
nouncement is more important
than "the exact information"
st Doctor Opposed.
DR.. Alex Horwitz, Washington
surgeon, said he could "see no.
thing to be gained" in telling a
.70-year-old woman she will die
of cancer. Other patients. he
said, don't want to be told the
truth.
H. Mason WEIGH, local at
torney, said it is morally wrong
to keep the truth from a patient
and added that it is the obliga-
ton of every doctor to be frank,
He termed withholding the
verdict of cancer illegal" in the
eyes of the law.
The Rev. Edmund j. Lee of
Shepherdstown, w. Va, said
every man should not be denied
the opportunity to finish his
life in the proper way. The
proper way, he said, would be
