Good Morning Judge
News from Mami's Municipal, Precinct Court
JUDGE JOHN o. JOHNSON, PRESIDING
ev ELLIOTT !. PiEzE. Times Staff Writer

A moderate total of lib cases
were listed in Municipal Court
Monday morning. It was one of
these middle of the road sessions,
but will long be remembered by
all who were present.
Quite amusing was the case of
Adley Chandler who was charged
with assault and battery on
his wife, Annie Bell. The Incl
dent occurred early Friday even
ing according to Officer E a r ]
Cotton.
Mrs. Chandler told the court
that her husband came home Fri
day evening and began to beat
her. Mrs. Chandler later explain
ed that an argument had occurr-
ed between her and Chandler
over their baby daughter. B u t
she declared that her husband
had beaten her for nothing.
In his defense Chandler told
the court that his wife had boast
ed to him that she had had child
rem for four different men, and
that each time she left a man she
always took her children with
her. She added that she was going
to leave Chandler and take their
daughter with her also B u t
Chandler wanted to keep the baby
himself, hence the argument be-
tween the two. Chandler, however,
denied beating his wife, and tried
to stick to his denial until Off
Ger Cotton told the court t h t
Chandler had admitted to him
that he did beat his wife before
the officer arrived. Judge John
SON found Chandler guilty of the
charge and fined him SIS or 80
days.
Among other cases heard and
disposed of were the following:

An estimated 1000 men-some
with criminal records-are now
snatching cars, trailing spouses
for divorce evidence and per-
forming other chores as private
detectives here without any po-
lice control over their activities.
The 1000 men is an estimate
from license officials and spokes-
men for legitimate detective
agencies. No one knows the ex-
act figure because the employees
of detective agencies and car
snatchers working on a commits
sion basis are neither registered
nor licensed.

Welfare Fund
Revision Near
BY HARRIET GRIFFITHs

The Commissioners are putting
finishing touches on a proposed
liberalization of District welfare
provisions for the needy for SUBJ
mission to the Bureau Of the
Budget. probably early this week.
While details of the proposal
were not disclosed pending its
submission to Congress. it was
understood the city heads are
working along lines drawn by
Commissioner Robert E. Nc
Laughlin before a Senate welfare
subcommittee for q limited,
rather than a drastic. relief ex-
Ipansion.
These proposals included dis
ltributing surplus food to the
NEEDY. dropping the present $500
monthly relief ceiling to help
big families and changing the
handling Of court support cases
to allow families involved in sush
proceedings to get full relief
grants.
Point Stressed
In addition. Welfare Director
Gerard M. Shea has been stress
ing that the most important
need in the welfare program is
for additional staff IN order to
reduce case loads and do a more
thorough job of helping needy
families to meet their problems
efficiently.
Presumably. the welfare pack
age will be presented as q new
item in next fiscal years budget,
destined for Senate Appropria-
ton Committee hearings about
the middle of next month.
The Commissioners at the
same time are planning to ask
restoration. of some Of the items
cut by the House from the
budget, submitted at STAT mil
lion higher than 1t cleared that
side Of the Capitol. Some $7.8
million Of the original budget,
however. was withdrawn by the
city because Of benefits the Dis
Itrict will receive under the Fed
eral highway program.
AS approved by the House,
the budget totals $l92.5 million.
Increase Request Seen
The city heads undoubtedly
will seek to have the Federal
payment increased from the $40
million approved by the House
to the $23 million which Con-
gress previously has agreed to.
The city heads also are expect
ed ito make q plea for Senate
restoration Of snfiicient school
operating funds to permit a
teacher-pupil classroom ratio of
80 to /.
Even in the limited form out
lined by Mr.. Mclaughlin. the
welfare expansion was expected
to cost some 100000 annually.
not counting additional workers.
This would cut into the available
revenue for restoration Of other
items.
