BUILDING
A good home should include
a room for improvement.
GOLF
Couple of Sunday golfers
were rather guiltily playing
round when one spoke up and
said, Perhaps we should have
stayed home and gone to
church"
Other duffer pondered this
and replied, "Oh we'll, I
couldn't have gone to church
anyway ;. my wife's sick"
OBSERVATION
The average American teen
ager will drive a hot-rod 80
miles an hour but is afraid to
go to the dentist.

And why don't the nuclear
scientists do something about
all the atom-brains running
around loose?
UNTRUTH
We don't believe it when
they say that cannibals eat
missionaries. After all, you
can't keep good man
down!
CONTRADlCI ION
Funny thing but a shiftless
person, like an automobile, has
to shift for himself.
HuMNN!
A girl never pursues a man.
A mousetrap never pursues a
mouse either.

make you grow little older.
KID STUFF

BY GEORGE FLYNN

Washingtonians next month
will get an opportunity to view
several fine pieces of Ameri-
can silver normally displayed
only for the benefit of foreign
visitors.
Blair House will lend pieces
by Paul Revere and Samuel
Casey for the Antique Show
opening March s at the Shera-
ton-Park Hotel.
Certain to attract as much
attention as anything at the
show will be a Revere tankard,
seldom removed from the sill
yer vault in the Blair House
since the Government acquired
the Pennsylvania avenue home
as a guest house In 1912.
The tankard is one Of many
made by the colorful Revolu-
tionary War figure during his
Boston silversmithing career.
It's Priceless
It's as priceless for its pa
riotic sentiment as for its
craftsmanship. Authorities on
silver have complained that
Revere's pieces are valued at
three or four times the work
of comparable examples by
other Colonial silversmiths,
when on rare occasions they
change hands.
The tankard was owned by
the Blair family for many
years before the Government
began entertaining guests OF
state at Blair House.
It's never used for its origi-
nal purpose of holding beer,
says Mrs. Victoria Geaney.
housekeeper at Blair House.
Nor is it known whether this
particular Revere tankard
served at some time as a
flagon in a New England
church.
Many tankards were pre-
sented to churches, which is
one reason why so many OF
them have been preserved to
this day.
The porringer by Casey rep
resents the work of a silver
smith as colorful in character
as Revere, but in an infamous
way.
Samuel Casey, called Silver
Sam" by his neighbors in
Newport, r. l.. before the
Revolution, was, like Revere,

alton, and the defendant was
given a new trial on grounds of
jury misconduct.
In a later case in the same
State, no misconduct was read
into the act Of single juror who
slipped across the street for a
"shot" in an effort to relieve his
neuralgia" The fudge decided
this was the same as taking
aspirin.
No Mass Tipping
There have been cases in which
saloon attendance by as many as
three jurors at a time, during
jury elaboration. was held per-
Missile. But it is pretty certain
that an entire jury, even today,
would be held in misconduct If
it trooped en- masse to the near
est bar for the sole purpose of
having a drink.
OF course, if a juror becomes
obviously drunk then he will be
replaced just as though he had
become Ill. And, unless stand by
jurors are available, this usually
means starting the trial over.

BY PHIL YEAGER and
JOHN STARK

In Santa Monica. Calf. the
counsel for John r. Croker,
31-year-old convicted slayer Of a
wealthy divorce, is endeavoring
to have his clients conviction
set aside on grounds that the
jury had been drinking during
its deliberations.
According to testimony given
by the foreman of the jury, each
juror, at one point during delib-
Grafton, but not on the same day
the poll was taken, had a cock
tail in a restaurant prior to
dinner.
So far, the counsel's tactics
have been to no avail. but they
point up an unusual legal prob
lem: when does drinking of alco-
holic beverages by a jury war
rant q new trial for the person
charged?
You might suppose the answer
would be that ANY" drinking by
Jurors would be sufficient to sus-
tain a basic objection by the de-
PENDANT. However, this does not
appear to be correct.
No Universal Rule
Admittedly, it is a very touchy
subject and one which viii in
every case be given serious con-
sideration. But the general rule
these days is that jurors may
have a moderate amount Of
liquor provided it leads to no
demonstrable miscarriage Of JUS
tice. This is not to say that the
general rule is a universal one.
Among the cases which have
arisen on this issue can be
counted a number Of contrary
holdings.
Most jury-drinking problems
developed during the heyday Of
the saloon around the turn Of
the. century, at which time pub
lie feeling toward liquor was less
charitable than it is today.
One case on record found four
Jurors and the sheriff ducking

Principals Spar
As Santee Case
Nears Hearing

NEW YORK, Mar. 6 (P).-The
main event between Yves Santee,
Americas ace miller, and the
Amateur Athletic Union comes
up in court Friday, and while
awaiting the bell some of the
principals are keeping loose by
verbal sparrings
The State Supreme Court will
decide Friday whether to make
permanent temporary injunc-
ton that held up a lifetime ban
against Santee issued by the
AAU. In the meantime, Charles
P. Grimes. Santee's attorney
has been taking verbal swipes
at AAU officials.
Grimes hints that several
States may drop out of the AAU,
that the AAU will need a new
lawyer for Fridays hearing, that
he is trying to get a Congress
sional investigation of the organ
Iization, that Avery Brundage,
president of the International
Olympic Committee, is in con-
tempt of court, and that there
wasn't a quorum present when
the AAU Executive Committee
voted to ban Santee.
One of Grimes chief targets
is Dan Ferris, executive secretary
of the AAU, and Ferris has
answers for almost everything.
II think Grimes is the one de-
Gliding for the States" Ferris
said in reply to one of the
charges. About the switch in
attorneys, Ferris explained that
the regular AAU attorney. Jay
Mahoney, is one of the defend
ants in the injunction. And re-
futing Grimes belief about lack
of a quorum. Ferris stated that
Is members of the 26-man COM
mlttee were on hand.
The AAU executive said he
expected the case to be settled
at Fridays hearing. "We don't
need any additional time and we
certainly will oppose any mo-
ton for a delay by Grimes, u
he said.
About Brundage and the IOC,
Grimes contends that several of
the runners entered against
Santee in the knights Of Co.
lumbus Games last Saturday
withdrew after Brundage was
quoted as saying that if he was
an amateur runner, he would
not compete against Santee.
