Suit to AnnuI Jail Marriage
Filed by Bobby Sox' Bundit

The marriage OF a prisoner at
District Jail and a so-called
bobby sox" bandit now serving
a sentence in Occoquan Work
House is headed for annulment
proceedings in Federal Court
here.
The husband is Frederick r.
Putnam, 81, who was serving a
term on bad check charges and
working at the jail canteen at
the time of the marriage In
September. 1854. He is the artist
who has decorated the rotunda
of the jail with murals during
stays there.
An annulment suit has been
fled by Attorney Jean r. Dwyer
on behalf OF Jean Padgett Young
Putnam, who received a two-to-
eight-year sentence on holdup
charges two months after the
marriage.
At the time of her arrest early
in 1854. the then 25-year-old
woman was dubbed the bobby
sox" bandit. She was captured
attempting to rob a Chinese
Restaurant. and was accused
also Of robbing another restau-
rant and a grocery store of $640
in December. 1853.
Mrs. Dwyer was appointed by
the court to represent the young
woman. She said she withdrew
from the case after the marriage.

The plan would strive for
establishment of school policies
on a community by community
basis and would assure the con-
tinued operation of public
schools in every city and county.
The Gray Commission, In its
report. refers to the possibility
|of some schools closing because
|of the courts ruling outlawing
segregation in the public schools.
Gov. Stanley has promised to
recommend to the legislature
that the requirement for MAIN
Itainance of the public school
system be retained In the State
constitution. Some critics, how
ever, have appealed to the Gov
Iernor to specify that public
schools will be operated III every
county and city.
The authors of the plan ad-
vanced here today were DR.. B.
u. Chandler, associate professor.
and DR.. Douglas s. Ward, acting
dean and professor Of the uni

They took no sides in the jan

said their plan would work re-

Mrs. Eisenhower few here
from Washington today to be
with the President over the New

her were her mother. Mrs. John
S. Doud, and Mrs. Howard M.
Snyder, wife of the Presidents
personal physician.
Mr.. Eisenhower and Maj. Gen.
Snyder greeted their wives and
Mrs. Dodd at the side entrance

4. Assure the continued opera
