LaughIin Asks Reopening
OF Family Court Hearing

James j. Laughlin, a lawyer
yesterday asked Chairman Bar
rett of the Senate District Ju-
duciary Subcommittee. to reopen
hearings on the family court
bill so he can continue his crit
tcism of Judges on the bench of
the U. S. District Court for the
District of Columbia.
The attorney. who opposes
creating a separate family court
in the District, said during testi-
mony Friday that the judges
take excessively long vacations
annually. His statement was
branded completely untrue by
Chief Judge Bolitha j. Laws.
Mr.. Laughlin wrote Senator
Barrett he would like to answer
the judge. and urged that both
he and the iurist be recalled to
testify under oath.
The Senate hearings on the
proposed legislation have been
closed. A House subcommittee is
expected to conduct other hear
ings, but no date has been an
nounced.

Lawmaker Urges
Vote on Bill 10 Send
Addicts 10 LEXINGTON

Early passage Of a bill which
would permit District drug ad-
diets to be treated In the Federal
hospital at Lexington. Ky. un-
der the city's compulsory hos
pitalization law, was urged last
night by Representative Miller
Republican. of Nebraska.
In a letter to the Senate Labor
Committee, which is considering
the proposed legislation, DR.
Miller declared:
Il am quite sure you realize
the Importance Of this legisla-
ton. Not only does it provide
for the withdrawal of a known
addict from society, thereby
eliminating the possibility Of any
crime he might commit while
under the influence of the mar
cotic. but it also provides for the
cure and rehabilitation Of the
addict and makes it possible for
him to return to his rightful
place in society"
City Off1ciaIs Reluctant.
DR.. Miller sponsored the COM
pulsory disqualification law,
which went into effect last
Christmas eve. City officials are
reluctant to enforce it, however
because the bill which would
permit them to be sent to Public
Health Service hospitals for
treatment still is pending.
In his letter to Roy E. James.
StaH director of the Labor Com
mittee, DR.. Miller also urged
that the enabling bill be
amended TO allow for the adj
diets being returned to court
jurisdiction for final disposal
Of his case after he is deemed
cured.
The decision for this change
was made last week after a
conference between DR.. Miller
and United States Attorney Lee
A. Rover.
The procedure to be followed
under the proposed amendment
would require the head of the
hospital to certify the addict's
cure to the court from which
he was committed and to de-
liver the patient to the court.
Facilities Inadequate.
Enforcement of the Districts
compulsory disqualification law
would be possible Immediately
on passage of the enabling
measure. The District already
has a receiving ward set I'D al
District General Hospital for
temporary treatment of the ad-
dict during commitment pro-
cedures.
In his letter, DR.. Miller
pointed out that the District
does not have adequate hospital
facilities, however. for the full
rehabilitation treatment re-
quired.

Beverley Retreats,
BaffIed by Yankees
Who Kept Engine

Mayor Marshall J. Beverley re-
treated FomeWard - Alexandria
today without the old fire engine
that he had hoped to recapture
from the Yankees.
The energetic mayor was i'm
pressed by the hospitality and
attention he received north of
the Mason-DiXon line. but he
was baffled by their logic.
II just can't understand it.
Their own records show that the
engine was captured in Alexan-
dria in 1861 by New York's Fire
Zouaves," said Mayor Beverley
after meeting the officials of the
Firemens Home Museum at
Hudson, N. Y.
Previously Rejected.
Directors of the firemen's
home previously had turned
down a written plea from Mayor
Beverley for return of the hand
some fire relic. They said he
hadn't proved the engine be-
lonoed to Alexandria.
Yesterday. the answer was the
same. Officials of the home were
unimpressed when Mayor Bever-
ley pointed to a page of their
catalogue that describes the en-
CINE as a piece of equipment
taken from Alexandria.
They kept telling me they
didn't know who wrote the cata-
logue. or where the yarn orig
mated. They even suggested the
story was a hoax. Now how in
the world would the author think
up such a tale? You don't just
pick something out of the sky
and put it in a book" said
Mayor Beverley.
Produces Documents.
To bolster his claim, the
mayor also produced historic ac-
counts of the Zouaves. Their
commander, a Col. Ellsworth,
was killed in Alexandria in 1861.
He produced a photostatic
copy of general orders issued by
the United States Army June 9,
1865, directing commanding Off
GERS to relinquish all confiscated
rebel property not required for
military purposes.
With Mayor Beverley were
John S. Hart of the Sterling
Winthrop Research Institute at
Rensselaer,. N. Y, and Kenneth
Dunshee. author of book about
fire engines.
To Map New Strategy.
It was Mr.. Hart who first told
Mayor Beverley about the en-
CINE Mr. Dunshee's book, En-
line, Engine" describes the en-
CINE as a piece of equipment cap
tured from Alexandria.
ut looks like some one wrote
the museum catalogue who didn' t
know what he was talking
about" said Mr.. Dunshee. He
said he had been unable to find
any concrete evidence that the
story was true.
The mayor plans to recon-
hotter and map new strategy
when he gets home.

Senate side until after the House
acts on the measure.
Mr.. O'Hara said no date has
been fixed as yet for his unit to

it to be sometime this week.
The subcommittee members
are aware of some objections
raised from various quarters to
the increased taxes on District
residents added to the original
proposals Of the District Com
miSSioners.
Going to Full Committee.
The full House District Com
mittee will be called into session
to handle the public works rev.
enue bill as soon as possible after
the measure Is acted on by the
O'Hara group.

groups from both sides of the
Capitol. it has been anticipated
the O'Hara committee would APP
prove the new revised measure
as introduced.
