Jury Acquits Man
Who Denied Causing
Boys Traffic Death

A jury today acquitted a 26-
year-old man on a charge Of
negligent homicide in connection
with the traffic death Of Z
year-old boy.
The man cleared is Lawrence
p. Majors of the 1900 block of
S street Sc.
He had been accused in the.
death of Larry Dickerson of 1406
U street Sc. The boy was struck
by an automobile at Minnesota
avenue and Good Hope road Sc.
in November, 1852, but Major
denied at his trial that he was
driver of the car.
The jury in the U. s. District
Court for the District of Column
bia deliberated approximately
seven hours in reaching its YER
dict.
Drop Manslaughter Charge.
Mr.. Majors originally went on
trial on the more serious charge
of manSlaughter. Judge Luther
w. Youngdahl threw out that
charge for lack of evidence and
instructed the jury to consider
the lesser charge of negligent
homicide.
Mr.. Majors prosecution was
based on a statement he made
to police approximately a year
after the boy had been struck.
Police reported Mr.. Major as
stating that he felt a bump on
the fender of the automobile he
was driving. The statement
quoted him further as saying he
drove home, examined the auto
mobile. found it unchanged, and
drove back to the scene of the
accident. When he got back
the ambulance had taken the
boy away, police quoted him as
stating.
Says He Was at Home.
Mr.. Majors testified at his
trial, however, that the state
ment he gave police was not true.
In answer to a question by his
attorney, Bernard MargoliuS, as
to why he made the statement to
police in the first place, Majors
said: II just wanted to get out. :"
He testified at the trial that
actually he was at home at the
time the boy was struck.
Last month Majors pleaded
guilty to negligent homicide but
changed his plea to innocent
about two weeks later.

GladiOlus Among Best
Flowers, Still Time
To Plant Locally

It's still not too late to plant
gladiolus-and they'll bloom to
10 weeks after planting.
That's the tip from Robert F.
Stevens, Extension hOrticulturist,
University of Delaware, who says
that with good cOTms and fair
growing conditions, the gardener
may have more for his efforts with
gladiolus than most of the garden
flowers.
He warns, however, not to be
careless about the culture of
"glads." During recent years,
gardeners have had many failures.
Causes can be grouped under two
heads: % Factors affecting cOrms
before planting or poorly de-
velOped cOrms, diseased corms,
cOrms infested with insects, and
corms damaged by improper stor-
age; (2) Culture in garden-soi
that is poorly drained or in bad
mechanical condition, too much
manure or fertilizer, lack of wa
ter, insect attacks, improper cult
vatiOn, or damage from weeds.
1t is extremely important to get
young, clean, well-developed bulbs,
Stevens says. The depth of plant
ing varies from 4 to 6 inches. Deep
planting lessons the danger of the
plant falling over, and tends to
produce better flowers. Shallow
planting helps the multiplication of
bulbs. Plant 3 to inches apart in
rows spaced Is to "a inches apart.
Commercial fertilizer may be
used. SupeTphOsphate (2096) APP
piled at the rate of pounds to
100 feet of row will" be all that is
needed in good garden soils. Mix
thoroughly with the soil in the
open row before planting. Fertilizer,
such as 5-1O-10 and s.
1O-5 low in nitrogen, may give
good results.
Cultivate frequently. AS the
plants develop, throw a little soil
around them. Clean out weeds and
grass. Water, when necessary, in
late afternoon.

And. If it is TO work, this committee will need
the cooperation and backing of all interested citi-
zens of this community. The committee Will design
and promote the necessary legislation needed 10

Inquiry Corner
Father HeaIey-

@. Is it a sin 10 tell slender
Gus statement made bg another
regarding the morals OF another,
especially If not true? Is 1t an
obligation on the part of anyone
toho knops the person toho
started the Sldnder to make
knolUn their name M order to
clear the names of the persons
offended?
A. Slander is a false report
injuring the reputation of an
other and is always a sin against
the Eighth Commandment. 1t is
more serious as it deals with
more serious matters and SLAM
der involving the moral life of a
person is YER serious. The pri-
mary obligation to restore the
persons good name rests with
the slanderer. He is bound in
conscience to correct the false
account he has given. Another
person who knows of the offense
should approach the slanderer
and remind him of his duty if
that is possible. If the offender
will not make reparation the
innocent person or a responsible
associate may take steps to cor
rect the slander. This would not
seem to involve making mention
of the slanderer. Advice of the
pastor of the place would seem
to be desirable, but in any case
correction of the evil should not
lead to greater evil.
O. What is restitution?
A. In the Old Testament the
reparation for things stolen was
very strict. eff any man steal
an OK or a sheep, and kill or sell
it: he shall restore five oxen
for one OK, and four sheep for
one sheep" EXODUS 22:D Resti-
tuition is the logical consequence
of the Seventh Commandment
II means restoring to the owner
goods which have been stolen or
the equivalent. If the owner is
dead stolen goods must be re-
stored to his heirs. Ii the owner
or heirs cannot be found after
reasonable effort restitution may
be made by giving the amount
involved to the poor or to pious
causes. No one can be forgiven
in Confession without promising
to make restitution.

to haze a Nuptial Mass IN the
morning Nth the marriage cere-
mony taking place IN the after

A. The Nuptial Mass is votive
Mass offered with special pray
