ReIiefer Convicted of Attack
On Woman as Payments End

BALTIMORE, June 26 (R.--A
56-year-old man, with Ill prior
criminal convictions, was con-
victed yesterday of assaulting a
welfare worker who told him
that he would not be eligible for
further payments.
THAT is really what you call
biting the hand that feeds you"
Judge Joseph L. Carter said in
sentencing Fred Gainey to three
years in the House of Correc-
ton.
1T is this sort of thing that
makes you wonder about the
wisdom of paying out so much Of
public funds to support people of
this type"
Miss Constance Supik, an en-
ploye of the Department of Pub
lie Welfare. testified that Gainey
grabbed her and threw her
against the wall of the welfare
office on June 6 when she ad-
vised him he was ineligible at
that time for further relief pay
ments.
He had been receiving $50 a
month. but it was not brought
out for how long a period.
Miss Supik testified he used
profsne language to her and
said he wouldn't leave the Office
until he received a check. Gainey
denied the assault.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, June 26
School integration, the woe of
Virginia school officials, is the
last thing local school board
members gathered here wish to
discuss.
More than 80 of the men and
women on the firing line in the
Indignation controversy-those
who run local school systems
are here for a workshop session
ending today. Local school
boards have been the targets of
legal maneuvers aimed at i'm
fermentation of the Supreme
Court ruling that segregation in
public schools is illegal.
Three of the school districts
in Virginia under such legal
attack were represented here
yesterday-Norfolk. Newport
News and Charlottesville.
The formal agenda for the
two-day meeting listed no dis
Icussion on the indignation issue.
Subject Avoided
Even the corridor talk during
the 15-minute recesses between
discussion periods and the two
hour lunch period were devoid OF
indignation talk.
Then a reporter started ask
ing questions.
Il came here hoping to get
away from that talk" said DR.

The first outgrowth of the
new policy was the report on

accompanied by an estimate
that the United States had so
million tons of uranium reserves
as of November /.
OF these reserves, 6S.4 per

This was particularly true in
the AmbroSia Lake area Of New

Miller Dixon of the District ot
Columbia Metropolitan Police
both drew praise from Senator
Kefauver, presiding at the hear.
ing, for the contributions they
have made to the handling oi
juvenile delinquency problems.
(Harold j. Hall, at the time
Of his arrest here on false pre-
tense charges, was described
.sas a Nationwide operator"
After his arrest in October,
1852, he was hospitalized for
more than three years at st.
Elizabeths. Shortly after his
release he wrote a series of
articles for The Star last June
under the title, Il Was Grim
inally Insane" The widely
praised stories described the
treatment that changed him
from a mentally i'll. compulsive
criminal into a mentally
healthy member of society,"
Sergt. Dixon's contribution i
in the field of combating thu
Nationwide confidence racket, il
which big shot operators ust
young girls as decoys to fieec,
elderly women of their life say,
ings. Hall told the hearing o.
his f1rst-hand observations of thu
evils of co-mingling young frs
offenders with hardened crimi'
mails, and Of what is being dont
about it.
Pays Tribute to Dixon
Another witness, Harry Du'
pree, chairman of the Air Force
Parole Board and former chic
parole officer of New York State
digresSed from his own testimony
to pay tribute to Sergt. Dixon'I
work. Mr.. Dupree related that ii
many large cities, including AL
bany, there was no adequate
rogues' gallery of confidence op.
eratives' for victims to use II
identifying their fleecers.
"In Washington, however. Mr.
Dupree said, there is an excel
lent gallery due to the efforts oi
Sergt. Dixon, who has collected
such photos all over the country
There is an urgent need for some
sort of centralized gallery for USE
by all cities"
When Sergt. Dixon took the
Evening star., 1956-12-13

stand, he also called for improve
ments in this aspect of counter
confidence work. He suggested
that police officials specializing
in the pigeon drop" and other
confidence racketS all over the
country get together in national
conferences every two years to
exchange photos and information
Ion new wrinkles in the conf
|dence game, which fieeces elder
ly victims of millions in life saw
Iings annually.
IF we had personal contact, I"
he told the subcommittee, there
would be fuller cooperation and
I'VE could go far in stopping this
racket"
Press Plays Role
Sergt. Dixon suggested that
police officials address local
groups to explain the confidence
game. He said the press had
played an important role in
putting the public on its guard
ia gainst the innocent-looking
,Iyoung women who prey on older
victims.
] I'm the District Of Columbia, !"
he added. I'VE have sent out cir
Iculars to all banks urging them
to notify the police at once if
'Iany elderly depoSitor attempts to
,ldraw out life savings in cash."
1 Hall, appearing with an at
tache case and bearing every
appearance of the most eminent
Irespectability, was a most artic-
ulate witness. He said he had
been entirely cured of his GRIM
inal bent and now had a good
JOB as companion. valet and
chauffeur for a wealthy man.
Drawing on his own admitted
lily extensive experience in pris-
ons all over the country, he said
young male offenders and older
criminals are often co-mingled.
The twin evils of this admixture,
Ihe declared, are homosexuality
and an education in crime for
the youths.
/ Young Men Affected
! young men hungering for af-
fection are worked on by older
men who are actually sexual
Ipsychopatl1S." he said. He re-
lated one case in which an older
criminal had actually bribed
guards so that a young first Of
fender was placed in his cell
and corrupted. In another pris-
on. he related, he had overheard
an old-time stick-up man plan
ming a perfect" armed robbery
job when they got out.
Il picked up a paper after this
pair was released and read how
they had actually carried out this
perfect job-except tht one was
shot up badly and both were
caught and convicted" Hall said.
Conditions in prisons have
improved in recent years, and
"pSychiatry isl hate to use the
word cure but it happens to be
Iftrue-curing many offenders,
particularly youngsters" Hall de-
clared.
Segregation Started
Starting with Sanford Bates,
when he was Federal prison
commissioner, an excellent sys-
tenn of classification and segre-
cation Of different types of in
mates had been put into effect,
but State prisons have been
catching up only recently in this
respect, he said.
Detention facilities in local
communities, he added, are all
too often still crowded with
youngsters and old timers still
thrown together.
In answer to questions. Hall
said that outside Of the generally
well supervised Federal prisons.
homosexuality ''is a common
practice" He said that in State
prisons the guards are too often
underpaid political hangers-on.
Federal prisons have improved
both the salaries and the stand
ards for guards. though there is
still room for improvement in
this respect. he said.

Both sets of parents are evad-

have the choice of either APP

match. If they approve Of it and
feel that there is the possibility
that these young people might
someday make a happy marriage
and that the boy will be ready

should say so and explain to the
boy and girl that the test Of time
is essential.

much observation and tactful
questioning.
The girls parents do not ap.
pear to have decided how they
feel about Mike, outside of the
question of early marriage and
the economic problems. II they
feel Mike is a poor marriage
bet, they should let him know
how they feel about it. They
should not be deferred by fear
OF their daughters displeasure.

the children with a common
stand. They must either at
tempt to break this up or con.

If they attempt to break it up.
they will have to go gently but
