LAW IN THE NEWS
BY PHIL YEAGER
And JOHN STARK

From Gastonia, N. c., has
come the story of 9-year-old
Jerry Mauney. who suffered
hird-degree burns over much OF
his body in a backyard camp
ing out" accident.
Jerry's parents are members
of Jehovah's Witnesses, and they
refused to let the boy have blood
transfusions which hospital doc
tors said he needed. Their OBJ
jections were based on a Bible
passage, Leviticus, 17:14, which
says in part: THE life Of every
creature is its blood; whoever
eats it shall be cut off," Under
the Witnesses Interpretation OF
this passage, blood transfusions
lessen e persons chances for
eternal life.
On the same day, a report from
Chicago told of 8-year-old Alyson
Conn. whose Christian Scientist
mother did not want the girl to
take polio shots. This time. how
ever. Superior Court Judge Harry
Hershenson ordered the young
ster examined by health officials
and that she be given the shots
II officials decided they were
needed.
The Conn case arose out Of q
custody dispute for Alyson. Her
parents are divorced. and the
girl is being raised by hei
mother. When the mother agreed
to abide by the judges ruling,
Alyson's father withdrew his SUIT
for a change in custody.
Clashes between medicine and
religion, such as the foregoing
are not rare. They have been
going on for centuries. But these
cases are particularly graphic in
distinguishing areas of contro-
versy which modern law is likely
to settle, from those 1t won't.
In the Mauney case there was
no question of the law moving In
to force a blood TRANSMISSION
even though such medical pro-
cedure might, in the eyes Of con-
Temporary science, mean the diff
ference between life and death
for the burned boy. This was
mainly a private affair between
the family and the doctors: il
did not. according to present
theories anyway. involve a public
welfare.
The Conn case was something
else. In spite Of the argument
made by a Christian Scientist
spokesman that mo court has
the right to enforce medication. y
Judge Hershenson said that the
problem he had to decide was
not one Of religion but Of public
interest. What he meant was

1t was a gala production Of
Johann Strauss Gypsy Baron
that opened last night in the
Roosevelt High School Auditor
ium. Produced by the District OF
Colum ia Recreation Depart
ment, the show is deliberately
and festively staged, and has
assembled q large cast Of solo
and choral singers and dancers,
The orchestra is the Civic Or
chestra of Washington, aug
mented by members Of the Agri-
cultural Symphony. conducted
by Frederick Fall.
Musically, 1.-THE Gypsy Baron"
is not one Of Strauss happiest
shows for, aside from the won
derful and well-known wales,
the score is repetitious and plod-
ding. The story is slight and long
drawn out, with dreary stretches
of dialogue between the musical
numbers. However. while last
nights production was not en-
tirely satisfactory. it had several
features which are q credit TO
the Recreation Department. and
which were warmly received BY
the audience.
l The large. chorus. which IN
1.-THE Gypsy Baron" plays an
important part, was very good
1t had been well rehearsed. Its
tone was robust and sparkling
and its diction clear. The one
rous task of costuming a large
and varied cast was expertly
handled - soloists and chorus
representing 18th century peas
ants. nobility and a tertium quid
q wealthy hog-raiser. all made q
pretty picture on the stage.
The show calls for three sets
each Of which was designed with
imagination by Tom Hickson
and constructed with, the def
touch Of a professional by James
Ayres. The lighting was simple
and straightforward. but salts

The orchestra under the skill

the unfamiliar and far-from-
easy score. 1t seemed to me that

an unqualified success. for I have

good form.

his eyeballs rolled back until
