student. last November.
He became the first person in
Prince Georges County to be COM
mitted to the Patuxent Institu-
.tion for Defective Delinquents at
Jessups, under a law passed by
the Maryland Legislature in 1858.
Mental Tests
This requires a mental ex-
animation at the institution, fol-
lowed by court hearing which
could either approve or deny rec
concentrations by the psy-
ichiatrists.
Today's hearing lasted only 10
minutes. States Attorney Blair
H. Smith was prepared to put
on the stand DR.. Harold M. Bos-
low, institution director, but De-
tense Attorney A. Gwynn Bowie
asked the court to base its de-
cision ION the face of reports in
the court record"
Judge Marbury then said he
had studied the reports from the
Patuxent Institute. He read from
it that Marcionette. who made
an unsuccessful attempt to
escape, was ''impulsive, violent
and subject to anti-social acts
and is totally uninterested in
getting any help"
New Hearing
He then said the boy should
be committed to the institution
for an indeterminate period.
Under provisions of the law. he
will have another hearing when
doctors declare him cured. The
court then will determine e
whether he will be released or
transferred to the reformatory
to complete his sentence.

Mrs, Hickman who is considered
pretty much of an expert now.
Word about the Hickman pre-

the Animal Welfare League heard
about it. The number of patients
and the size of the bird cages
have grown ever since.
Some of the birds and animals
will never leave the Hickmans.

Transit Labor
Accord Seen
BY HECTOR MCLEAN

Hopes of quick agreement on
a transit accord were voiced to-
day as negotiations entered
the sixth day at Federal Media
ton Service headquarters.
Optimism came from both o.
Roy Chalk. who is slated to take
over operations of Washington's
streetcars and buses Wednesday,
and from Walter j. Bierwagen,
president of Division $50, Anal
gamated Association of Street,
Electric Railway and Motor
Coach Employees of America.
Old Franchise to End
Both indicated they felt on
understanding might be reached
today.
Tomorrow, Mr.. Chalk. New
York real estate owner and pres
ident of Caribbean Always,
Inc, is to start final closing of
details of his Sl3.540.000 pur-
chase of all the properties of
Capital Transit Co.
CTC's franchise expires at
midnight tomorrow as the re-
suit of legislation passed last
year during a 52-day strike.
2O-Year Franchise
Mr.. Chalk will run the street.
cars and buses under a 20-year
franchise which provides tax re-
lief and speed-up in regulatory
procedures. 1t will go into eff
feet Wednesday.
Mr.. Chalk said he will hand
check for $91 million to etc
President j. A. B. Broadwater
at 1901 am. Wednesday to COM
plete the transaction.

citizens who have heardabout
her. The telephone rings con-
tinuously with callers asking her
to take in az crippled bird, a
rabbit or a wounded
squirrel.
Mrs. Hickman will take no
pay for her work. Until recently
she paid for all ground beef and
birdseed consumed by the Wild
life but now the Arlington AMI
NAL Welfare League helps buy
the food.
Aviary Hospital
Mrs. Hickman's helping hand
is extended to the wild things
that no one eles wants to help"
Right now she has an aviary
of splint-legged starlings. two
blind doves, a broken winged
robin, Is homeless parakeets and
numerous others.
She has cages containing a
chipmunk with an injured back,
a squirrel with jaw partially
shot away. a white rabbit. flying
squirrel and three baby pos

When a new patient is
brought in. the Hickmans patch

wounds have healed, turn ii

Helped by Children
Mrs. Hickman's chief assist
ant is her 13-year-old daughter
Cordelia Dee Dec, who holds
the birds or animals while her
mother administers first aid. A
son David, Is, helps feed them
which is no small task. Two
older daughters and Mr.. Hick-
