Mental
JusticeQuifs

The lack of facilities for tenn
porary disqualification Of mental
patients in Northern Virginia
was pointed out by Ernest N.
Hudgins, who resigned yesterday
as special justice for handling
mental cases in Fairfax County
Mr.. Hudgins. 54-year-old
Fairfax attorney, said he was re-
signing because of the tire
mendous" amount of time he
had to give in handling mental
cases. In letter to Circuit
Judge Paul E. Brown, he said he
wished to continue as substitute
justice in the Trial Justice. Ju-
venile and Domestic Relations
Courts.
Mr.. Hudgins said he has han
died 408 mental cases since he
took the Job in January, 1853
He estimated that at least one
third of the persons involved had
to spend some time in a jail cell
because there are no hospital
facilities for menta, patients in
Northern Virginia.
In the nearby Virginia areas
mentally i'll persons who have
been committed to State institu-
lions must wait in Jail unless
immediate transportation can be
arranged to the institutions.
Mr.. Hudgins said he resigned
because the work load was TAX
ing too much time from his law
practice. He said the cases
averaged three a week and re-
quired two hearings each. He
was paid IS case and furnished
the clerical work involved. he
said.

AuxiIioryPo IicemonW Wins
In'Citizen's Arrest Case

ford street, Arlington, was ar
IreSted on reckless driving and
speeding in a school zone on
warrants sworn out by the Aux
Hilary Private Wallace Cooper.
Arlington County Court Judge
Homer r. Thomas acquitted Mr..
Stephenson of reckless driving,
but found him guilty of the
speeding charge after a court
hearing.
Pvt. Cooper testified he was
driving in his own car to report
for duty as an auxiliary and
was wearing his uniform when
he observed Mr.. Stephenson in
the school zone. The part-time
policeman said he forced Ste
Iphenson's car to the curb and
warned him of his alleged vio-
lation.
Since the auxiliary force has
no arrest power but relies on
regular county policemen, with
whom they normally ride, to
make arrests. Pvt. Cooper re-
leased the suspect and later
swore out warrants. The war;
rants were served May 10, two
days after the offense occurred.
MI. Stephenson said he would
appeal the case to the County
Circuit Court.

l(R.-New toll schedules for the
400-mile Pennsylvania Turnpike,
featuring a Al per cent boost for
passenger cars and a 81 per cent
cut for trucks, were announced

The new rates 60 into effect
May IS, the date when. the Penn
lsylvania and New Jersey super
highways will be officially linked
10y the Delaware River Turnpike
Bridge.
The complex fare schedules
will increase tolls in the noun
famous areas between Irwin and
Carlisle but will make it more
attractive, especially for truck
ers, to remain on the turnpike
through more level areas.
Present passenger car toll
from gateway on the Ohio line
to the Delaware River Bridge is
$3.50. That will be increased to
$3.50.
Truck tolls vary but for a
truck weighing between $4,000
and $4,000 pounds the fare for
the 360-mile trip will drop from
$3.50 to $685..

Four Nss'l Guard
Officers Honored

(Continuad from first page)
nancing the associations new head
quarters building in Washington.
The project is expected to cost over
a million and a half dollars, to be
raised by voluntary contributions
from members and friends Of the
Guard.
Captain Paul ]. Desmond, of the
Adjutant Generals Office, has been
named to the standing committee
on publications, which is response
bic for the associations monthly
magazine, 1.-THE National Guards
man." More than 100,0 900 guardsmen
subscribe to the publication, which
is the professional journal Of the
National Guard.
General Scannell, in announcing
the appointments, said, "The recog-
milton given to the State of Del
aware by these assignments reflect
the high regard in which the Nat
ional Guard of Delaware is held by
our brother Guardsmen IN other
states.
These appointments are trib-
ute not ONLY lSS the OIlC6IS 4sAABSNs
but to all the officors and men Of
the Delaware Guarii who have
worked so hard to bring i. to its
present nigh degree i,f trailing and
readiness.
He explained that Delaware's
representation on the association
committees is considerably higher
than would be justified either by
the States population or by the
size of the Delaware National
Gdard.
General Scannen said that Cap
tain Desmond is one of the few Off
GERS lower than the grade Of Col
lonel who received committee assign
ments. puring the past year, Cap
tain Desmond was given, as an ex-
ira duty, the job Of increasing the
leadership Of ''The National Guards
man" among enlisted members of
the Delaware National Guard.
1 Largely due to his efforts" GEN
eral ScannelI said, Delaware was
singled out for a special citation at
the National Guard Association
meeting in New Orleans, as the
only state where every member Of
the Guard subscribed to his pro-
fessiOnal magazine"

Radioactive FalIout
BY D. PRESTON LEE
State Director Of Civil Defense


To the grim vocabulary of the
nuclear age, new term recently
was added: .Fall-out', meaning
the vast cloud of radioactive dust
from an H-bomb explosion.
For Delawareans, ''fall-out" is a
word worth pondering. By airliner
this state lies only a few hours
from the nations major urban
centers: New York, Philadelphia.
Baltimore, washington, Pittsburgh.
Fall-Out also travels by air. An H
bomb explosion on any one Of these
cities could spray Delaware with
malignant dust, causing sickness
and even death.
Out of a clear, even sunny sky,
fall-out could rain silently down on
towns and farms alike, even while
the complacent were saying, "See,
I told you they would never waste
bombs on Delaware.
But fall-out is no unc0nquerable
menace. There are few simple but
effective precautions every family
can take once the nature of the
threat is understood.
Fall-out acts somewhat like any
dust storm. It occurs when an H
bomb is exploded at ground level
An air burst would cause little
fall-out. But when the bombs bou-
yant fireball touches the ground

to serious radiation. can be decOn-
taminated by laundering or simply
by waiting for natural radioactive
decay
To plot out contaminated areas
following a fall-out, Civil Defense
Pathological monitoring tea ms,
equipped with geiger counters, are
being trained. However, not enough
volunteers have stepped forward to
provide all the teams needed in Del
aware.
While it gives no cause for des-
pair, the falI-out threat has widened
the area Of vulnerability. No indivi-
dual or community, no matter how
isolated, now is completely safe
from nuclear warfare. The only
safety lies in joining together now
at the community and neighborhOOd
level to learn how to help one an
other in our nations time Of trial.
That means-in plain words
finding the job that is waiting for
us in our local Civil Defense or
ganization.
