Retiring Parole Head to Urge
Broader Policy, More Stuff

Robert E. Lee Smith, the Dis
trict's Parole Board chief, who
has announced he will retire De-
cember 81, will recommend a
more liberal parole policy for
first offenders and an increase in
the number of parole officers.
Mr.. Smith, SO, wound up his
official duties last week and now
is on vacation at his home in
Norwood, Md.
Il guess I have a vacation
coming after AZ years around the
court" he said.
Mr.. Smith said he and his wife
plan to do a little travelling,
probably in the direction of
Florida" He said he also plans
to help his son, Robert E. Lee
Smith, jr., care for his 50-head
herd of pure-bred Angus cattle
on their Rockville farm.
Entered Court in 1924
Mr.. Smith went to work in
1910 as an office boy for group
of court reporters. Then, in 1924,
after receiving a law degree from
National University. he entered
the parole and probation field in
the Office of the old Police
Court.
He later became chief proba-
ton officer of the Municipal
Court, successor to the Police
Court. and in 1888 was named
Parole Board chief.
His recommendation for more
liberal parole policies depends
on a companion plea for more
parole supervisors.

Powell Aide
Sentenced 10
Year and Day

NEW YORK, Oct. % (P.-Acy
Lennon, secretary to Representa-
tive Adam Clayton Powell, Demo-
crat of New York, was sentenced
today by Federal Judge Archie
o. Dawson to serve a year and
a day in prison and was fined
$4,000 for income tax evasion.
Lennon was convicted by a jury
last week.
The sentence followed con-
domination by the judge and by
Assistant United States Attorney
Thomas A. Boland of a state
ment attributed to Mr.. Powell
over the radio last Friday night
that Lennon received "the rawest
deal man ever got"
Lennon was convicted on
charges of evading $1,000 in in
come taxes over a four-year
period beginning with 1949. The
jury deliberated IS hours.
Judge Is Shocked
Judge Dawson described him
self as shocked" by Mr.. Powell's
statement. He said he would not
permit himself to be influenced
by comment from politician"
Mr.. Bolan pronounced the
Powell statement Outrageous,
completely irresponsible and
RECKLESS, particularly coming
from a man of such prominent
position.
Mr.. Powell, a Democratic
leader in Harlem, recently an
nounced he favored the re-elec-
ton of President Eisenhower.
Mr.. Bolan insisted Lennon re-
ceived fair treatment. a fair
trial and fair consideration from
the jury"
Charges One Lied
He charged that either Mr..
Powell or Paul Klein, prosecu-
ton witness. deliberately lied"
in testifying about a $4,000 check
that figured in the Governments
lease.
Lennon faced a maximum
penalty of 20 years in prison and
$4,000 fine. He was accused
on four counts.
His attorney. Leonard Field
man, made a spirited plea for
clemency. Mr.. Bolan opposed it.
Another of Mr.. Powell's secre-
taries, Mrs. Hattie Freeman
Dodson, was sentenced to seven
months for income tax evasion
last July Is. A third secretary,
William j. Hampton, faces trial
next month on similar charges.

subject from more than 20
countries.
These papers largely concern
the presence Of natural radio
activity and of nuclear-test fall
out in the world and the con-

AZ countries.
They are not sightseers. Mostly
they are persons concerned with
personnel administration in their
own countries. They want to
learn how the United States
meets the problems which they
encounter.
1t used to be that a visitor in
the dress of hiS-or her-distant
land, encountered in the Offices
or corridors of the Commissions
building, aroused considerable
curiosity. Now the Commission
staff has become used to them.
Orients Foreign Visitors
The man who orients the visi-
tors to America, guides their
studies and observations is J..
Douglas Hoff. Some visitors.
those from the Far East particu-
larry, find our way of life so
different from theirs that they
experience shock. Others expect
to find here the life they see
depicted in our movies.
1t is Mr.. Hoff's job to set them
straight gently, to find out what
problems they are interested in,
and to help them find out how
we handle similar problems. He
has learned that Kipling was
wrong when he wrote, EAST is
East and West is West and never
the twain shall meet"
ITS not a one-way program, {"
he said. I'VE look for hints in
solving our own personnel prob
lens. We get important written
material which we use for ref
erence. After all, problems of
personnel administration, of
dealing with people. are the same
all over the world"
Training Program Ideas
Other countries are anxious
to get our printed material. It
is supplied. Some are interested
in starting training programs.
They learn what we do, then go
home and adapt our programs to
their conditions.
One Egyptian who studied the
system here has written that a
training program was started in
his country, with 600 enrolled
initially. In the programs Sec
ond stage it was extended into
the provinces and 1000 were en-
rolled.
Letters are received from other
countries giving evidence of the
spreading value of the commits
sion's foreign program.
Mr.. Hoff is a native of An
napolis. He served in the Army
and was wounded. He attended
Georgetown University. In 1913.

Service Commission and has

A Honduras broadcast said one
OF the first acts of the iunta was
to proclaim illegal the election
two weeks ago of constituent
assembly for this banana-grow-

cast called the election "a ma
tional shame" and said it did not
represent the popular will.
Assembly Called Nov. 1
The assembly had been called
by Mr.. Lozano to meet on Nov
ember IL and was expected to
elect him president for a full
six-year term.
Members of the Liberal Party
headed by the exiled DR.. Ramon
Villeda Morales had assailed the
election as a fraud. Twelve per-
sons were killed in election day
violence.
DR.. Villeda Morales, a 49-year-
old obstetrician, won the most
votes for president in the 1854
presidential election but failed
to gain the absolute majority
required for election. He was
exiled last July on charges of
seditious agitation.
There was speculation that he
would now be permitted to re-
turn to the country, along with
other exiled Liberal Party mem
berS.
Mr.. Lozano, who has been act
ing president with the title Of
Chief Of State since September
1854. claimed a clean sweep for
his supporters in the election two

that his party and the Reformist

H-Bomb Issue

Adlai Stevenson is to be
commended for his courage in
bringing up the hydrogen
bomb issue and in not being
intimidated into retreat. All
who are interested in not be-
coming extinct are DESTROYS of
coming to an agreement on
this question with England
and Russia, who have both
long ago expressed their will
ingness to abandon these tests
so inimical to humanity. Gov.
Stevenson has never suggest
ed. as some of the opposition
party would imply, that the
United States alone discon-
tinue the H-bomb tests.
Certainly the time is not
ripe for any definite state
ments. AS indicated in the re-
port by the National Academy
of Sciences. investigations
made thus far must of neces-
sity be inconclusive, and no
determination can yet be
made of the cumulative effects
on man. animals. and vegeta-
ton. Undoubtedly, the only
sane course is to welcome any
agreement to discontinue
these dangerous tests.

Abundance and Political Trends

ment to the suburbs by this
new addition to the middle
class. We have suburbia in
politics-a popular new lecture
for study groups.
Not many years ago. during
the depression, the needs were
more basic and primitive
job, food. clothing and a place
to sleep. But a much more
modest roof served them. For
those things the great mass Of
people in distress looked to the
Democrats and got them from
the Democrats. Come the
same sort of trouble again,
they probably would turn to
the Democrats again.
But once a fellow owns a
mortgage on a new house in
a nice suburban community,
he has risen in the social
scale, Many such become Re-
publicans and look to the
Republican Party to protect
them, since they are now per-
sons of property.
Much of the Republican
campaign theme-"Be happy,
you're lucky'-from Presi-
dent Eisenhower on down, Is
aimed at these new recruits.
To find out how many they are,
you only have to look at the
statistics on home building and
drive through the mushroom
ing pillboxes-row after row,
and mile after mile of them.
Stevenson is fully aware Of
the political result of this new
"age of abundance" and its
threat to the Democratic Party.
He was thinking of that when.
in his speech to the business
men, he said the adjustment to
this new era requires imagina-
ton. new ideas and the con-
fldence of all groups Of our
society which. he claimed, the
Republican Party does not
possess.
Right now, though. so many
of the new property class seem.
to prefer the status quo, with
no rocking of the boat.
Imagination? No. not for
them. just let them alone.

School Financing
Congratulations

Congratulations on The
Stars editorial of October %,
on financing the major needs
OF our schools. The editorial,
l am certain, will encourage
our community in moving
constructively and vigorously
toward meeting its school
needs.
A borrowing program is the
most equitable way to get our
children out of part-time
classes and badly overcrowded
classrooms, and into adequate,
modern school facilities.
One can hope that very soon
our school authorities will
present a plan keyed to present
and future school construction
needs. With such a base, our
school board. District Com
missioners. the Congress and
our citizens can start in
harmony on meeting our school
needs promptly.
A borrowing program will
conserve current revenues. thus
providing needed additional
funds for current school oper-
ating expenses. This would
enable us to meet part of our
need for classrooms and special
teachers. In this connection,
study of what other COM
munities have done to recruit
and pay additional teachers
would be most useful.
Meanwhile, it is terribly
urgent that we make certain
that our 1858 budget provides
the elementary classrooms and
special teachers already re-
quested by our school board.
BY your editorial you have
shown the will to help Wash
ington citizens help Wash
ington schools. Everyone in
terested in this urgent problem
is. l am certain, most gratified.
Louise S. Steele.
