Paris 'Rogpicker Priest
SCOTS at Do-Gooders

Although hardly protected
from suffering during the war,
he said today he never realized
what terrible suffering there is
until, through homeless persons
he took into his house, he came
to know the plight of the poor.
He turned his own room over
to a mother with two children,
and spent a night sleeping in
the street. He begged for food
for his stricken flock. And he
became a member in good stand
ing of the multitude who verge
on the last inch of desperation.
And that experience, he told
a press conference today, is what
so many welfare workers lack.
They do not, can not. really
realize the plight of their wards.
An interviewer asked whether
the Able would recommend that
Congressman sleep in the streets
to learn more about needy
Americans. The mournful eyes
lighted up and a grin split the
thin beard.
ut might not be so good if
they all did," his interpreter gave
his reply, but If perhaps one
or two did. it shouldn't hurt"
The major French shortage
is housing. he said. His explo-
sive instruction against official
sidestepping of the issue has
already created 1900 dwellings,
put up by his ragpickers, and
1900 more are ready to go up.
Exist by Junk Dealings
The ragpickers exist by dealing
in junk. Their accomplishments
focused Nationwide attention on
them. Red-faced deputies hur-
riedly changed their minds about.
not being able to cope with hous-
ing ills.
And Able Pierre became a ma
tional figure. Today he had little
to say about his political ambi-
lions, if any. Once the politicians
back home learn exactly where
he plans to go. they might not
have him around so much.

Man Slain in Street Row,

A 39-year-old piano tuner from
Holland was stabbed to death
during a melee in the 1900 block
of T street NV. last night, police
reported.
The victim was jacques c.
Van Manner, of Ills Twelfth

seaman. Detectives said his as
sailant was a colored woman who
fed after the stabbing.
1t. Lawrence A. Hartnett of
the homicide squad said Mr..

loudly with a colored man and
three colored women. One of
the women, he said, had a long
butcher knife.
No witnesses to the stabbing
however, have been found. 1t.
Hartnett said. Mr.. Van Manner
was stabbed five times in the
chest, and the knife penetrated
the heart once.

BY RICHARD RODGERS

Do-gooders may mean well,
but too often they don't know
what they're talking about,
Frances "ragpicker priest" said
today.
Able Henri Groues, the rag
picker cleric, is Able Pierre to
thousands of Frenchmen. An
amazing phenomenon, even for
volatile France. he is venerated
by the bulk of his nation.
Able Pierre was in town to
discuss and observe welfare
projects. His own welfare cam
palgn in Paris has electrified
France, and stirred the National
Assembly into getting off its in
ertia. Politicians in Paris are
no doubt happy he's here in
stead of there, if even for little
while.
Practical Through Mystic
The bearded Able with the
sad eyes is saintly-looking. but
he mixes vast practically with
his mysticism.
Born of a wealthy family. he
renounced riches at 18-he is
approaching 40 now-and dis
tributed his inheritance among
the poor and entered the
Capuchin order.
During World War II, this
mild man of gentle breeding
proved to be very tough indeed.
He organized and engaged in
thefts and forgeries against the
Nazis. established Maqui guer-
rilla bands and smuggled Jews
and other Gestapo targets across
numerous frontier spots.
He was forced into refuge,
where he took the name of Able
Pierre. Later he had to change
names again. The Gestapo
caught up with him but he
escaped his captors.
After the war. he was elected
a deputy in the National As
sembly. He rented a tumble
down villa, repairing much of it
himself. =

Wife Receives
IS Years in
Husband Death

Mrs. Kathryn Rettig, 40. today
was sentenced to serve from Is
years. to life imprisonment for
second degree murder in the fatal
stabbing of her husband, Robert
L. Rettig. 80, last October.
Sentence was by Judge Henry
A. Schweinhaut, of the U. S.
District Court for the District of
Columbia. The penalty is the
maximum for second-degree MUIR
der. Mrs. Rettig was convicted
by a jury on March 81.
Mrs. Rettig, slender brunei
waitress, protested her innocence
to the last. II did not do this, F"
she told Judge Schweinhaut to-
day when he asked her if she
had anything to say before being
sentenced. She declared the
murder was pinned" on her by
police and denied she, had con-
fessed the murder to police.
1t was testified at her trial
that she confessed the Staying
to ones detective and that the.
confession was overheard by a
second detective. Before SEN
fencing, Judge Schweinhaut over
ruled a defense motion for a
new trial in which it had been
contended that certain hearsay
evidence given at her trial was
prejudicial. The hearsay evil
dence centered around a state
ment the late Mr.. Rettig was sup
posed to have made to another
person about Mrs. Rettig and a
gun.
In overruling a motion for a
new trial, Judge Schweinhaut
conceded that certain evidence
was hearsay. He held, however,
that lin the light of all evidence"
that portion was not sufficiently
prejudicial to constitute error.
Mr.. Rettig was slain in an
apartment where the couple
lived in the 500 block of Sixth
street NE. His widow was tried
on charge of first-degree MUIR
der but the jury convicted her
on the lesser charge of second
degree.
