African Federation of the Rho
desias and Nyasaland-the success
of which will win its independence
as new self-governing member OF
the British Commonwealth.
Mau Mau terrorism and its leg
acy of rehabilitation, economic and
social problem sin Kenya have
mainly doomed hopes of an East
African federation.
Neither Uganda nor Tanganyika
is anxious to srare this load.
Additionally, both the protector
ate of Uganda and the British ad-
ministered United Nations trust
territory of Tanganyika are non
white nations. There are only
some 25,0CO whites among THEN
100000 odd Africans.
And Uganda and Tanganyika
Africans are highly concerned at
what they consider the possibility
of domination by Kenya's white set
tiers if they federate with this
British colony.
Africans Reassured
In the light of this, British Co
lonial Secretary Allen Lennox-Boyo
recently assured them that East
African federation would never be
imposed against the wishes of the
peoples involved. Thus federation
prospects appear shelved unless
the territories involved should de
eide on some form of free associa
ton after self government.
Uganda, with a new constitution
and a climb-down by the British
Government on returning the indie
pendence- minded King of Bugands
to his throne, appears to be on the
road to self-government.
But it is considered fairly certain
here that self-government for Ken
va is dependent upon the success
of new experiment in multi
racial government designed to ease
race tensions. This experiment
subject to amendment and grad
ually increased African represent
alton, will need some years tria
before its success can be gagged
Desirability Stressed
The federation is economically
desirable, few East Africans of any
race doubt. Evidence of this is the
joint operation already of railways
civil aviation, income tax and cur
rency departments, mail and tele-
graph services, navy radio, ant
certain agricultural and medica
services by a unified East African
High Commission.
There has been considerable agi-
tation in all three East African
countries recently for still closer

While local retailers are ex-

Police Borrowed Cor-Thief Device
Of Jump Wires in Strike I roffic

Capt. Gore said the Jumper
wire practice was an emergency
measure to meet a difficult sit
uation. 1t has been discontinued,
he said, now that conditions are
back to normal.
None Takes Credit
Meanwhile. police officials were
being extremely modest. None
could be found who was willing
to take credit for issuing the
order to use the wires.
Chief Murray said he didn't
know anything about jumper
wires Officially" but he seemed
to recall hearing the dispatcher
requesting the tow truck land
three of four men" for impound-
ing purposes.
Inspector John Agnew, Traffic
Division head, is on vacation.
Inspector Irving limbaugh, po-
lice property officer said he knew
the wires existed, "but I didn't
instruct them to make them"

lice purchasing department said
II guess it's true We have got
them" He added quickly his Of
fee had nothing to do with their
fabrication.
Capt. Gore was high in his
praise Of the jumper wire proce-
dure. He said police handled an
average Of from 40 to so i'm

|sit strike through their use.
However. he also was unable
to recall whose idea 1t was to use
them in the FIRST place.

BY JOSEPH B. BYRNES

One Of the most successful
phases Of a job well done by the
police force during the 5l-day
transit strike is one for which
nobody wants to take credit.
That's the questionable - but
highly efficient - use Of Jumper
wires" in getting Illegally parked
autos to the impounding lot.
Faced with more cars to be
moved than could possibly be
h a ndled by the departments
four cranes. traffic policemen
began wholesale use Of the
devices.
The wires were especially de-
signed at the police garage and
fitted with fuses TO prevent burn
ing out ignition systems If en-
ployed improperly. They are an
improved version Of an old device
long used by car thieves to start
engines.
Driven on to Lot
Cars thus started were driven
instead Of being towed to the
fmpounding lot by either the
man starting the auto or q fell
low officer who rode the crane
for that purpose.
On some occasions during the
strike, as many as four driver
policemen armed with jumper
wires went along with the crane
for wholesale impounding during
rush hours.
While the legality Of towing or
driving away autos has never
been tested In court, both Police

sistant Corporation Counsel Carl
Coleman feel the department Is
on solid legal ground.
The pertinent traffic regula-
tons give police power to move
illegally parked vehicles when
necessary, but they fail to spell
out in what manner 1t may be
done.
Not so clear, however, is the
question Of responsibility If the
policeman gets into an accident
or Injuries someone in the course
of driving a citizens car to the
lot.
MI. Coleman said he feels q
suit naming the policeman as
an individual and the District
government would have to be
entered to collect damages.
Minor Damages Adjusted
Minor damage. such as vent

autos or the relatively slight
damage done by the crane is

But who would reimburse the
driver of an atuo struck by the

Of his impounding action is a
matter that probably would have
to be settled by the courts.

to feel that, II the policemen

A 41-year-old Naval Gun
Factory employe. who police said

and killed by q roomer there
early today.
The dead man was identified

picyed trucker. who is in Emer-
gency Hospital in serious con-
dition with q stab wound in his

Account Of ARRAY
Police said the following Sc
ouence of events led to Nc
Clintock's death from a chest
wound:
McClintock was seated in his

street NV. where Elizabeth
Holmes, 81, colored, lives.
The girl, a department store

Jones
Found Guilty in
Robbery
insanity Defense
Dropped in Triol
At Rockville Court

Maurice Jones, 20, colored. who
won acquittal on q housebreaking
charge In the District last year
by pleading insanity, today was
found guilty Of armed robbery
by a Maryland jury.
Al planned insanity defense
was abandoned. Defense Attor-
ney James X. Hughes told re-
porters he was unable to find q
psychiatrist who would testify
that Jones did not know the
difference between right and
wrong at the time of the crime.
The verdict was brought in by
the jury only 20 minutes after it
received the case at 1850 am.
The case was heard in the
Montgomery County Circuit
Court at Rockville by Judges
Stedman Prescott and Kathryn
Lawlor and a jury.
S1,45O Holdup
Jones was accused Of the
,450 holdup of the Allied
Finance Co. in Silver Spring last
May IA.
DR.. Jacob Morgenstern, Mary
land State psychiatrist, testified
that, in his opinion. Jones was
Ia defective delinquent" But.
the physician declared, the
defendant was capable Of dis
Itinguishing right from wrong
and understanding the nature Of
his acts.
The defense revolved around
an alibi, with Jones asserting he
was in New York visiting a
cousin at the time of the holdup.
The cousin corroborated this
statement.
But two employees Of the
finance company positively iden-
titled Jones as the unmasked
member of a four-man band
which held up the establishment.
The robbery occurred seven
months after Jones was ac-
quilted of housebreaking charges
in the District. He pleaded ne
was insane at the time Of the
offense.
An attempt to have him e1m-
mitted to an institution for the
feeble minded failed when a
jury found he was not SO af-
fiicted. Whereupon. he walked
free.
Under Maryland law It Is
more difficult for a defendant
to win acquittal on insanity
grounds. He must convince the
jury that he did not know right
from wrong.
This was the test in the
District also until the U. s.
Court Of Appeals for the District
Of Columbia broadened the tests
for criminal responsibility to
include any mental defect or
disease that produced the crime.
Jones won his HOUSEKEEPING
acquittal under this ruling.
= After Jones was aquitted. an
alleged accomplice Thomas B.
Strother, colored. 20, of the 400
block of o street NV, went on
trial without a Jury.

Morse Plans to Push
Potomac Pollution Issue

Senator Morse. Democrat OF
oregon. has promised to make
the question of Potomac River
pollution zone Of the major is
sues" before the Senate District
Committee at the next session
|of Congress.
Speaking last night on the
iWRC-TV program, Our Beauti-
full Potomac Senator Morse de-
Iclared:
/ think the time has come
when the people Of the District
are entitled to more protection
than the Government has given
them to date in regard to this
pollution matter"
The Senator's statement was
made to Stuart Finley, producer
land narrator Of the series who
described two major difficulties
lin the Potomac problem: The
defensive and dangerous situa-
ltion at the Watergate and the
approval Of a sewage treatment
plant upstream from the Dis
trict's water supply intake.
Senator Morse said, you viii
recall that last year. as a mem
Der Of the District Of Columbia
Committee. ! headed a commit
Itee that inspected the Potomac
River and / was shocked at the
pollution ] saw and smelled.
u. S. Responsibility
IT think it is very important
as i said in the Senate, that the
Congress Of the United States
assume its responsibility of pro-
viding, not only the funds, but
the Legislative and administra-
tive procedures for cleaning UP
the Potomac"
The Senator recalled two bills
he introduced at the last session
designed to meet the problem
But, he added, he was never able
to get a committee hearing or
the last measure which was Q
revision Of the first.
