Jailers at Marlboro said the
boy has shown no signs of re-

said a scolding over his truancy
prompted the Staying.

Prevatte. If such a test is given

ranged by the boys lawyer.
So far. the States Attorney
said last night, no request has
been made by either the boy or
his family for a lawyer.

Invitations to attend have been
extended to the many friends Of

taken active part.
Coleman is a past president of
the Jacksonville Jewish Commu-
nifty Council, and has been in
leadership positions in the U.J.A.,
the Jewish Welfare Board, and
the Hebrew Union College. 1t was
through his guidance a nd help
that the J.C.A. purchased the
tract of land which it is now de-
veloping in Arlington, and
through his backing that the
buildings were improved and
opened to public service. Coleman
made possible the day camp
which the Alliance conducted last
year.
The Alliance is a sos, 100000 pro-
ject which is open to community
membership. The $4,000 build
ing fund Of the Y.M.H.A. has been
turned over to it to use for build
