FAMOUS FABLES

LEGACY: One day, while
swimming. Benjamin Franklin
was seized with q cramp. A
stranger, observing his distress.
jumped into the water and
pulled him to safety.
Franklin thanked the man
and offered him q reward.
which the other accepted. From
then on. year in and year out,
he kept after the statesman
for money. never failing to re-
mind him Of the time he had
saved his life. Franklin sent
him occasional small sums.
After 20 years Franklin's
rescuer died. A few weeks
later the statesman received
q letter from the mans widow.
She recalled the rescue and
asked him to send her money
out Of respect for her husbands
memory.
Franklin didn't know whether
to be angry or amused.
Apparently" he remarked,
my rescuer has left me to his
widow as part Of his legacy"

to the jury, in view of the
evidence regarding the question
Of insanity.
The ruling was made in the
case Of Isiah Bradley, 20. Of
the 1900 block Of Stevens road
Sc, who drew a 3-to-9-year
sentence in the lower court for
a $26 holdup-robbery at a
cleaning establishment.
The appellate court decision,
concurred in by Judge War
rem r. Burger. made brief refer
ences to prior rulings of the
appellate court in cases where
the question Of sanity was in
voled. Judge David I. Bazelon
dissented and will file his dis
senting opinion later. 1t was

Certified for Trial
The robbery was on December
3, 1854. On July /, 1855, Brad
ley was adjudged incompetent
to stand trial. On May 3. 1856,
1t was certified he was compe-
tent to stand trial. which be-
gan June 5. 1856.
The appellate court pointed
out that a psychiatrist had
testified that the defendant was

the condition had existed over a
period Of two TO three years.

''Party for Government"
We have always assumed
that (the Manual for Courts
MartiaD requires q law officer
to be impartial as between the
parties, and it is obvious that,
unwittingly or not, the pre-
siding ofhcial in this case
became an interested party for
the Government" Judge Lati-
mer said.
THAT Is not the behavior of
a fair and impartial judge. His
duty is to resolve the case
before him and not TO become
q zealot for law enforcement. "
Judge Latimer, joined in his
opinion by Chief Judge Robert
E. Quinn and Judge Homer
Ferguson. said the record of
the trial showed command
control" which was a frequent
C complaint against military
justice before the Court of Mill
tary Appeals was set up. The
phrase. command control" re-
fers to the influencing Of
courts-martial decisions by
commanding officers at mill

Latimer said, also declaring
that the prosecution witness

Of spades, the four went or
from dummy and Mr.. Masters
played his lone jack. The queer
would have won the trick, but
Mr.. Dale promptly played his
ace.
This apparently silly play was
based on the following con.
sideration: It was clear that
the club suit had to be brought
in If nine tricks were to be
taken. That meant the lead
would have, to be lost to the
enemy and Mr.. New, having
overcalled. probably held the
king Of clubs.
What would Mr.. New return
after winning his supposed
club trick? A diamond was his
most likely shift If he thought
q spade continuation was hope
less. And If Mr.. Dale won the
first trick with the queen of
spades. he would be marked
with the ace. too. and in that
case q shift by Mr.. New would
be clearly indicated.
However. when the ace Of
spades won the first trick, Mr..
New naturally placed the queen
In his partners hand.
At trick two Mr.. Dale led the
trey Of hearts to dummy's king,
returned the Jack Of clubs and
let it ride. Mr.. New won with
the king and jubilantly led an
other small spade. His Jaw
dropped when Mr.. Masters
played q heart and Mr.. Dale
won with the queen and ratified
on Q total Of nine tricks.
Mr.. New expressed the opin-
ion that he didn't think 1t was
right for Mr.. Dale to win the
flrst spade trick with the ace.
This, Of course. was an absurd
tty. True. he had been finn
hammed out Of the correct de-
tense, but it was all perfectly
legal. As Mr.. Masters pointed
out, declarer has the right to
play any card he chooses at
any time. Miss Brash added
that If Mr.. New would spend
more time on improving his
game and less on questioning
his opponents ethics, he would

QUukers Ask
President Of
Infegrution

The American Friends Com
mittee appealed to President
Eisenhower to speak By radio and
television to the nation regard
ing the crisis surrounding the
school integration issue.
The message was sent by tele-
gram to the President at his va
cation spot at the Newport Naval
Base. It was signed BY Henry J.
Cadbury, chairman Of the Com
mittee.
The Committee said, Beyond
the avoidance of further specific
incidents, men of goodwill need
the encouragement Of your strong
and unequivocal support at three
points.
THE first is mobilization of
public opinion to accept school
integration Fundamentally on
the basis of fundamental human
rights. The second is warning OF
the danger in the growing resort
to violence as way of solving
problems. The third is recogni-
ton of the large amount Of skill
full and effective work already
being done to bring about peace
full integration as communities,
North and South, face the chal-
lenge of a changing society,"
DR.. Cadbury expressed concern
at reports of defiance and yio-
lence in opposition to the high
est law Of the land and to re-
ligious and moral principles.
He commended the firm action
taken by the Federal Government
and by many municipalities.
An address to the nation, DR..
Cadbury said, could "reaffirm
the orderliness of the democratic
method and reassert the fairness
Of the democratic goal. Such .
broadcast is but the first of a
number Of positive steps that
you can take reflectiong your
