Maximum Sentence Given
In MansIauqhter Case

A man was sentenced to serve
from 5 to IS years for man
slaughter yesterday in a case in
which a first degree murder con =
viction and a guilty plea to Sec
ond degree murder had both
been set aside.
Then man. Quincy S. Toney,
80, colored, was found guilty of
the manslaughter charge last
month by a jury in the U. S.
District Court for the District Of
Columbia. Conviction was in
the 1852 ice-pick Staying of
George Bullock, 81, colored, in a
room where the two men lived
in the 1900 block Of Columbia
street NV.
The sentence, handed down by
Judge Burnita Shelton Mat
thews, is the maximum for
manslaughter.
In February. 1858, a jury de-
liberated only 80 minutes in find
ing Toney guilty of first degree
murder in the case. That con-
viction was set aside by Judge
Charles F. Mclaughlin, who pre-
sided at the earlier trial, on
grounds that evidence did not
warrant a first degree murder
conviction.
After the earlier conviction
had been set aside, Toney
pleaded guilty to second degree
murder but was allowed to with
draw his plea.

Maine Republicans
Refuse 10 Condemn
Mccarthy Methods
BY the Associated Press

BANGOR, Me-, April ga res
olution condemning Mccarthy
ism" failed decisively in a test
run preliminary to the Maine
Republican convention yesterday
and never reached the floor.
The proposal to go on record
against the methods of Senator
Mccarthy was overwhelmingly
defeated at the meeting Of 1st
congressional district delegates.
The sponsor, former State
Representative Harold c. Per-
ham, greatly modified his orig
inal resolution but the delegates
still spurned it. In an eight
minute speech. Mr.. Perham said
he was "unalterably opposed to
the procedure known as McCar-
thyiSm."
Solitary Boo Heard;
When he resumed his seat
there was no applause, only a
solitary boo" The resolution
was voted down after 81-year-
old State Representative Clifford
E. McGlauf1in said of Senator
Mccarthy:
He has been hard on Com
munists and he should be hard"
The convention heard Senate
Majority Leader Knowland OPP
pose admission of Communist
China to the United Nations.
ITO do So" Senator Know
land said, would be to reward
Communist China for her aggres-
sion in Korea. We would serve
notice on the world that one of
the quickest ways of gaining
membership would be to shoot
your way in :"
He said admission of Red
China would be looked on as
appeasement and a great victory
for international communism
He said it would set off a chain
Of events that would make al
most inevitable World War III"

Expanded Instruction
On Marriage Urged
In High Schools

Premarital instruction in high
schools should be expanded
since marriages among teenagers
are increasing. two consultants
in marriage relations agreed last
night.
They took part in a marriage
discussions held for women
deans attending the 38th annual
convention Of the National As
ISOLATION Of Deans Of Women at
the Statler Hotel. The conven-
ton ends Monday.
Marriage preparations should
be presented as carefully as
course gives for other profess
sions-such as engineering" &C
cording to Mrs. Virginia K. Hen
derSon, a lecturer with the Phil
adelphia Marriage Council.
Begins at Early Age.
"This means as early as kin
dergarten with the answers to
a child's question of where we
come from" added Mrs, Phyllis
Martin, professor Of human
growth and development at the
Pennsylvania College for Women,
Pittsburgh.
Both women defined early
marriages as those made by per-
sons 20 years old and down to
the minimum legal age. No rules
or age can be set to insure their
success, they said. It's matter
of emotional security and atti-
tudeS.
Sex is important but children
must realize time devoted to it is
small compared to the time
given all the other functions of
married life, Mrs. Martin said.
They should know sexual prob
lens are but a symptom of I'M
happiness. not the real cause.
Session on Maladjusted.
In another convention session,
delegates heard that schools are
confronted with a serious prob
lem in emotionally maladjust-
ed children from Miss Eleanor
P. McAuliffe, principal of Sousa
Junior High School here.
Such children are a problem
not because of a large number
Of them-actually the number is
relatively small - but because
regular school stats are not
qualified to give them the spe-
cial attention they need. Miss
McAuliffe said.
She praised the service being
given by the volunteer Kiwanis
Clinic in diagnosing and treat
ing emotional disturbances
among pupils of Sousa and other
Southeast Washington schools.
The clinic has been most val
liable, Miss McAuliffe added, in
making teachers less critical and
more understanding in dealing
with problem children.

1--WE have had occasion to see
another aspect of misbranding
and Misrepresentation at work
in the recent fight over tax legis-
lation," the former Illinois Gov
ernor said. adding:
"You all read the pronounce
ments from high places describ-
ing the attitude of the Demo-
Gratis in Congress on the tax bill

Many of you probably were sur

Cooper Of Tennessee were ire
Sponsible demagogues.
Outlines Party Position.
Let us see exactly how dema-
gogic the Democratic position on
taxes really is. The administra-
ton has offered the Nation
program of tax reduction.
"The distinctive feature of this
program is that it reduces taxes
on income from investment
that is. from dividends en- cor
porate stocks. AS a consequence
of this favoritism =, a man
who earns $4,000 a year through
his own labor will be taxed $240;
while a man who receives the
same amount on money from
dividends will only be taxed
$110."
There are two choices, he as
serted, in solving the country's
economic future. One. he con-
tinued, lis to hide in terror from
the facts" which point out the
need of 3 million more jobs
Immediately and. because Of
Americas expanding population,
7 million new jobs. by 1860.
'"The other choice" Mr..
Stevenson went on, sis more ex-
hilarating. We have as a people
:. every asset we need to create
a fuller life for every American
in every year of our foreseeable
future" He said he feared the
Republicans have chosen the
first alternative and will take,
perhaps unconsciously, the low
road leading to a stagnant
economy"

Nation Must Raise
Standard Of Schools,
Dr.. BroWneIl Says

United States Commissioner Of
Education Samuel M. Brownell
said today the Nation is con-
fronted with an appalling" job
in bringing educational stand
ards up to par.
Speaking at a Hotel Statler
conference of the National As
ISOLATION Of Deans Of Women,
the Health. Welfare and Educa-
ton official quickly interposed
that he felt America would meet
the challenge.
In his talk outlining the Ma
tion-wide educational picture, DR..
Brownell said a shortage of $780,
900 classrooms in elementary
and secondary schools and a
shortage Of $4,000 teachers now
exists.
Illiteracy Cited.
On top of this he quoted De-
partment of Defense figures that
in five States Korean draft re-
jectionS for functional litter
acy" ran as high as So per cent
compared with the national aver
age of 1872 per cent.
In addition, he declared, sta
tistics show that 495 out of every
1000 pupils enrolled in the fifth
grade, fail to complete high
school.
I'VE cannot look at these fig
ures without being both appalled,
at the big job ahead" DR.. Brow
nell asserted. land being thrilled
at the challenge to the efforts
and ingenuity Of the American
people and it's educators"
DR.. Brownell summed up the
problem by stating the Federal
point Of view is whether the re-
Spouse of the 10000 school dis
tricts and the 48 States Legisla-
lures can quickly mobilize to
meet the problem.
Must Know the Facts.
He said he believed if parents
and persons concerned with see
ing that this generation gets
essential schooling know the
facts, steps will be taken.
1.-THE alternative, of course, is
Federal action to tap the re-
sources Of these 48 States and
their 10000 school districts to
see that education is provided.
Perhaps that is the way the
American public wishes the job
to be done. However, I do not
propose to debate the ways and
means here" he said.
Earlier, Richard B. KEENAN, of
the National Education Associa-
ton told the group that in some
places teachers fear their col
leagues. their students. their adj
ministrators and any strangers
who appear on the campus.
He said in several colleges, in
Guiding the University of Vir-
ginia, secret societies have sprung
up for reporting any professors
or fellow students who make
Statements disagreeable to those
Of authoritarian or extreme
right-wing convictions"

Eisenhower Attitude
On Statehood Bill
Awaited in Congress
By J. A. o'Leoy

The fate Of statehood for Ha-
wall and Alaska appeared today
to rest largely with President
Eisenhower.
House leaders are standing pat
in their opposition to the in
clusion Of Alaska in the state
hood bill. In his January mes
sage to Congress the President
asked for statehood only for Ha-
wall.
The congressional leaders will
have a chance to determine N
their Monday morning confer
ence at the White House the
present attitude Of Gen. Eisen-
hover toward the combined bill.
Supporters Of statehood for
both territories hope the SEN
ate vote of 81 to % will impress
the President.
When the bill passed the
House last year it provided
statehood only for Hawaii. Ordi-
narily when the Senate changes
a House bill the two houses ar
range promptly for a joint con-
ference committee to settle their
differences.
But it takes unanimous con-
sent to appoint conferees in the
House. and all signs point to an
objection by some opponent Of
Alaska when the Senate bill
reaches that body next week.
If an objection is raised it
would take a special rule from
the Rules Committee to get the
bill to conference. The Rules
Committee has been delaying
action on a separate bill for
Alaskan statehood.
Meanwhile, the Hawaiian Del
egate, Joseph r. harrington, re-
vealed today he is receiving
many letters from school chill
dren in all parts of the United
States addressed to the "Ha-
waiian Embassy" He took this
as evidence that ignorance about
Hawaii is widespread among
school children.
He forwarded the letters to
the Department of Public In
struction in Hawaii with sug-
gestion that the school children
in the islands be encouraged to
spread a better knowledge Of
Hawaii by answering these let
tiers.
