Court Affirms Order
In Paternity Case

The Juvenile Court has juris-
diction over delinquent fathers
in paternity cases even though
the father is not in the District,
the Municipal Court of Appeals
held yesterday.
The appellate court, in uphold
ing a juvenile Court decision.
declared that it makes no Diff
ference whrre the child was
born OF where the parents live.
The case involved a 24-year-
old sailor. stationed at Anacostia
when the original complaint was
made. and a 20-year-old Alex
andria girl. Juvenile Court
Judge Edith Cockrill ordered the
sailor to pay $50 monthly for
Is years to support the child.
The sailor appealed on the
ground that the Juvenile Court
did not have jurisdiction be-
cause the girl lived in Virginia.
The Court of Appeals. how
ever. held that the father still
has the obligation and that it
may be enforced by the lower
court as long as the father was
in the District when the COM
plant was made.

AB&W Official Hits
High Cost Of Uniform
Hours in Government

An A. B. & w. Transit Co.
official last night declared stag
gering of Government working
hours would go far in relieving
pressure on Washington's transit
systems. highways and bridges.
Robert T. Mitchell, vice presi-
dent of the company. declared:
ut is economic suicide to con-
tinue to spend taxpayers money
for bridges and highways and
more bridges and highways, in
order that all Federal employees
may report to work between 8
and $50 am. and leave between
4:30 and pm
Mr.. Mitchell spoke at a meet
ing OF the Northern Virginia
Regional Planning and Economic
Development Commission in the
Arlington County Courthouse.
Cites Wartime Experience.
He said that. during World
War II, when Government hours
were staggered, his company
carried three times as many
people with only two-thirds the
number Of buses it now has to
use.
He said the A. B. & w. has a
fleet of 200 buses. It can put
18O buses on the street in the
morning rush hour. and ITO in
the evening The rest of the
day, most of those buses sit idle,
he added.
The midday demand requires
only 81 buses, he said. while the
demand at night is enough to
keep only "a buses out.
That's a great overhead in
equipment and men," Mr..
Mitchell said. THE staggering
of hours is absolutely essential. !"
Gets Standard Answer.
Mr.. Mitchell said his company
has talked to Federal Govern
ment representatives many times
about staggering hours and al
ways gets the answer that it
would interfere with the efficient
operation of the Government.
The transit official criticized
public officials for doing so little
to help transit companies solve
their problems. He also had some
things to say about automobiles.
admittedly one of his company's
biggest competitors.
THE automobile has become
a necessity instead of a luxury. I"
he said. However. much study
must be devoted to a more in
telligent use of the automobile.
"The outlandish desire of so
many people to carry two tons
OF steel with them wherever
they go Is an infringement on
the rights and desires of their
neighbors.'

DC. Officials on the Lookout
For Federal Check Forgers
Theft in 1914
Is Behind Flood
Of Worthless Money

The Secret Service and WASH
ington police were on the look
out today for forgers who have
been flooding the country with
blank Government checks stolen
10 years ago.
Secret Service chief U. E
Baughman also named the
Number One fugitive" in his
files. George William Schneider
as the possible ring leader in the
check-paSsing.
The story of the $500 stolen
checks goes back to 1914 when
T. E. Brew. a Navy disbursing
officer. was transferred from
Newport. r. l., to Guam They
were issued to him, and shipped
from Norfolk to San Francisco,
where they disappeared from a
Railway Express Agency Office.
Mr.. Brew has been fully cleared
by Secret Service. Mr.. Baugh-
man said.
On February 2. six of them
showed up in San Francisco,
Since then many of them have
been passed in clothing. liquor
cigar and retail stores in Las
Vegas. Chicago. Newark. New
York, New Orleans and Miami
in amounts ranging from $22 to
1892.
Schneider has been identified
as one of the men passing the
checks. Mr.. Baughman said. He

the month of August. . Simply
because a court is not in session
at a given time does not mean
the judges are not working"
Judge Laws then pointed out
that Congress was not in session
for approximately five months
last year, but to his personal
knowledge, most if not all men,
bers of Congress worked very
diligently in that period. He said
that never in his life had he had
as much as two months vaca-
ton and that there is not a court
in the whole United States in
which judges are confronted by
SO burdenSome and difficult a
docket as in the Federal Court
here.
Judge Stephens urged enact
ment of the family court bill,
saying the proceedings now con-
Quoted are very efficacious for
the destruction of the bonds Of
matrimony or for annulment, but
not for saving the marriage or
protecting child welfare"
He said after long study and
with experience both on benches
in the Federal and State courts
he is convinced that domestic
relations jurisdiction should be
transferred from District Court
to a new. special tribunal with
competent judges and investiga-
tive machinery.
His remarks were Endorsed by
George Maurice Morris. former
president of the American Bar
Association and several other
witnesses.
Among these were Thurmon I.
Dodson. former president of the
Washington Bar Association
Curtis Shears, representing the
Big Brothers organization. and
j. Austin Latimer and Philip N,

Death Mandatory
As Jury Convicts
Policeman Slayer

Robert E. Carter. colored, "a,
yesterday was found guilty of
firSt-degree murder in the fatal
shooting of Police Pvt. George
w. Cassels. Under the law. the
death sentence is mandatory.
The verdict was returned at
1850 pm. in the U. S. District
Court for the District of Column
bia before Judge James w.
Morris.
Earlier, the jury had returned
a guilty verdict with a recoma
mendation of mercy. Judge Nor
riS explained that, by law, such
a recommendation could not af-
feet the mandatory penalty. He
suggested to the panel that per-
haps it was not aware of this and
asked If it wished to reconsider
the verdict.
NcrUlct IN 4O minutes.
The jury then retired to re-
sumo its deliberations. About
40 minutes later, the guilty ver-
dict was returned again, this
time without a recommendation.
CaSSelS was fatally wounded by
gunflre while he was chasing
Carter. following the holdup of
a cleaning establishment last
July IL.
Carter admitted firing the
shot. but testified he Just wanted
to scare off his pursuer. who
was of duty and in civilian
clothes. Carter declared he did
not aim to hit the officer.
The jury found that Carter
was guilty Of murder during the
commission Of a felony tthe
holdupO. Such a Staying, by
statute. is first-degree murder.
Flight Becomes Issue.
Defense Attorney William j.
Kelly argued in vain that the
holdup already had been COM
mitted when the fatal shot was
fired and that. therefore, the
Staying did not actually occur
during commission of the felony.
Assistant United States At
torney Arthur Mclaughlin ar
gued that the flight from the
scene of the crime was part
of the crime itself.
Carter received the verdict i'm
passively. His attorney said he
would seek new trial. No date
was set for sentencing.
