But when she saw what a seri-

time planning the centers' pro-
grams and making them work.
For example: Each center has
visiting committees of retired
workers who make trips to the
homes Of shut-in aged.
At first, these committees were
mainly designed to cheer up the
people they visited. But. the
committee members soon found
that the shut-ins had problems
which they could help solve.
AS a result, the home-bound
older people have been given all
kinds Of help. including medical
care and financial assistance
from community agencies.
Shut-In's Aided
For those not shut-in, the
centers have also become a ready
source for help with health
housing and job problems and
for counselling on personal
problems.
The center directors spend
much of their time meeting
these individual needs. Often
they're able to refer the retired
workers to other agencies in
Detroit for help.
But, there are many situations
which can't be referred. such as
helping a retired worker judge
his need for living arrangements,
his financial needs, whether he
needs medical care. etc.
And. often the directors find
that retired workers just like To
have q listening ear"
Needless to say. the JAW Is
very pleased with its centers and
is looking forward to expanding
both in number and activity.

This mother may not be "the

 Under questioning, Green said recognition was withheld from Red China while other Commit mist governments are recognized
 Green, 89-year-old chairman of the Senate Foreign fRelations Committee, put out statement saying he understood his remarks were construed as endorsement of the proposition that the United States should forthwith exchange diplomat ts with Communist China"
 Such is not the case" Greens statement said. "Red China has not purged itself of it's aggres- sion against the United Nations in Korea, and it still holds Amer ican citizens prisoner against their will"

Navy Air Bombing g Practice Shells
 Coast Guard Light

POINT LOOKOUT, Md, R - Three Navy attack bombers, con- ducting firing practice after dusk last night, apparently overshot their target and scored hits on a Coast Guard lighthouse here.
 The lighthouse is located on the southernmost tip of Maryland's western shore. The firing was being conducted in Chesapeake Bay off Bloodsworth Island, often used by the Navy for shooting and bombing practice.
 A Coast Guard spokesman said two men stationed at the light house received minor scratches.
 He said he was told by those on duty that the target in the bay was in line with the lighthouse. Several missiles from the planes apparently went over the target, ricocheted on the water and struck the lighthouse.
 Cmdr. William Pack, command ing officer of the Navy squad ron involved, said: ''These air craft were on a scheduled routine rocket training flight and had training rockets aboard."' He said a board of investigation has been convened to inquire into the in cident.

fear that the confidence we
could once guarantee could no
longer be assured" He suggest
ed that this situation could be
avoided by a requirement that
requested records be presented
first to judges for inspection to
determine their relevancy to a
defendants case.
The House and Senate bills
received prompt attention of
the respective committees in
the wake of a Supreme Court
decision June 2 in the JenckS
case. The high court held that
a defendant, in order to chal-
lenge credibility of a witness
against him at a Federal court
criminal trial, was entitled to
inspect pertinent statements
about him made previously to
the FBI by that witness.
The decision was widely
criticized as likely to weaken
the FBI investigation system
and discourage If not prevent
many Government prosecu-
tons. 1t already has led to con-
flicting interpretations by some
Federal judges in lower courts.
AS originally introduced, the
Senate and House bills would
have allowed disclosure of re-
queSted FBI material only after
its relevancy and scope we're
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-08-14

determined By the Judge at q
trial.
The revised bill would require
the Government to give directly
to the defendant the prior
statement or signed transcript
made to a Federal agent by q
witness only if the entire state
ment was completely pertinent
to the trial testimony Of that
witness.
But II the Government re-
fused to acknowledge that such
an entire statement was perth
nent or commended that only
part of it was relevant, the
complete statement would be
turned over to the judge to de-
termine how much, If any, Of
1t should be shown to the de-
tense. A judges decision would
be subject to review BY higher
courts. In such instances the
entire statement would be sent
along to the appeals court.
If. however, the Government
contended that none of the
prior statement, or only a part
Of it, was relevant to the testi-
mony at the trial. the judge
then would decide how much of
it. If any should be shown to
the defense.
