SEND A KID TO CAMP
Outing and Guidance
May Sove Paul, II

Paul's mother is holding her
breath.
Her son, now IL, in contact
daily with more worldly boys
who know what trouble means,
has had one brush with the
law. He was cleared Of compile

But she knows he may not
be so lucky next time. She is
looking for a way to make sure
that next time never comes.
There is no place for Paul
to spend his summer but on
the streets. Caring for four
other children in their crowded
home, his mother can only
hope all goes well with Paul.
Her husband. a weak disciplin-
arian. contributes little to his
sons growth.
Camp would do many things
for Paul. 1t would take him

Segregotionists Defy
Zone Order for School

A group Of last-ditch segre-
gationists are opening an Ar
lington school on a note of mas
sive resistance-both to racial
indignation and county coming
orders.
In a gesture Of defiance. the
segregationists began accepting
summer-month enrolment yes
terday afternoon after being
told that they had not COM
piled with coming regulations.
Sponsors said 30 children
had registered yesterday for
the free summer instruction
and that a full enrolment of
100 is expected by the time
classes open Monday.
The classes are to be held in
a two-story building at 2043
Wilson boulevard. a block from
the coming office IN the Court
House. The school is to be a
model of a private classroom
system which the organization
hopes to open If public schools
are shut down or integrated.
Arlington is faced in Septem-
Der with a Federal court de-
segregation order on the one
hand and the Virginia law
which would close any inte-
grated school on the other.
Plans Revised .
Last Saturday the segrega-
ton group-the Tenth District
Educational Corp.-announced
that 1t would begin &C
cepting enrolment yesterday.
Later, the enrolment date was
postponed but plans we're re-
vised again ''in defiance" OF
the coming notification. a
spokesman said.
The group received a letter
from Zoning Administrator
William Kennedy stating that
it can not operate a school
without a use permit. No re-
quest had been made for the
permit. which is subject to
County Board approval. In
addition. Mr.. Kennedy said, the
school must meet the county's
building. electrical. plumbing
and child counselor standards.
Jack Rathbone. acting Sec
rotary of the segregationist or
ganization. said he called the
coming office yesterday and
argued that the regulations
cited in Mr.. Kennedy's letter
do not apply to the school.
After failing to convince the
county employe, orders were
given to begin enrolment at
once. he said.
Mr.. Rathbone then called
Mr.. Kennedy and informed him
Of the move.

Hospital Says

st. Elizabeths Hospital today
notified the Municipal Court
that Dallas o. Williams. bad
Man Of. swampoodle." is men,
tally competent to stand trial.
A letter signed by Hospital
Supt. DR.. Winfred Overholser
said Williams was examined
Monday and his case reviewed
at a medical staff conference.
1--WE conclude +. that Dallas
o. Williams is mentally COM
petent to understand the pro-
ceedings against him and to
properly assist In his own de-
fense." the letter said.
The United States Court Of
Appeals ruled earlier this
month that williams, who has
a 25-year criminal record, could
not be sent to the hospital on
. mere finding that he is of
unsound mind. The appellate
court ruled that Williams had
to be freed unless the Municipal
Court determined he was mem
tally incompetent to stand trial
or civil proceedings for COM
mitment were begun.
Williams viii be brought to
the court at $50 am. tomor-
row for a determination by
Judge Thomas c. ScaIley
whether he is competent to be
tried. A st. Elizabeths psychia-
trist will testify.
II the Judge agrees with DR..
Overholser. Williams will be al
lowed to enter a plea on the
charge of intoxication for
which he was originally arrest
ed last winter.
Williams was sent to the
hospital by Judge Scalley after
it was testified he was mentally
i'll.
However. the judge added
that, regardless of the outcome
of any trial resulting from a
competency finding. Williams
could be committed to the hos
pital on the basis Of the orig
inal finding Of unsoundness OF
mind by Judge Scalley.

Union said Attorney John ST.

morrow.

At the same time, the Cleve-

requested thatthe Chinese gov
eminent make a gift Of eight
acres Of their embassy land at
the intersection Of Thirty-third
place and Woodley road NV.
for q recreation center.
It would be given name
honoring the Republic of China.
Mr.. Finley said. He pointed out
that for more. than 20 years,
Iperiodic surveys of the recrea-
ton needs Of this area have
borne out the fact that this is
the most suitable site in this
entire area. The commission
has been unsuccessful in OBJ
tanning funds from Congress
for this project, owing to the
demands for recreation sites in
other areas, Mr.. Finley de-
clared.
The Chinese government has
an 18-acre site between Macomb
street and Woodley. bought in
1947 for $350,000, Mr.. Finley
said. He said its value has
risen considerably since then.
The letter to Counselor Tsui
pointed out that such an action
would require approval Of the
Chinese Foreign Ministry and
the legislature. But. the letter
added, If the Chinese govern
ment could approve the gift, IT
would be,"a great tribute to the
mutual honor we have for each
other"

hopeful of discussing the mat
ter with Nine. Chang Kai-shek

THE CONCERT TOOK
little more than an hour,
which is about right for a
free show but would not
seem long enough If you paid
for it. Then the players, all
in dark-blue tunics with
Sergeant's strips on the
sleeves and lighter blue
trousers with red stripes,
encased their instruments.
1t was difficult to estimate
the crowd. The Capitol steps
were filled right up to the
top, and there we're family
groups seated on the lawn
on each side. The plaza
behind the players was en-
tirely filled with automobiles.
One thing is certain, the
crowds were bigger before
this free band concert had
to compete with free TV en-
tertainment in the home.
And / am told the crowds
were still larger in the days
before radio.
Marine Band Conductor

Portuguese immigrants (his
father played in the band) +,

THE BLUE DANUBE

THE BLUE DANUBE
finished, the band started
another number familiar to
the Rambler. 1t was the
Col. Bogey March. And the
writer recognized that tune
from the wonderful moment
in the Bridge Over the
River Kwai" when the
British prisoners of : war
march into the japanese
stockade whistling it to
show that their spirits were
undaunted.
He doesn't know when he
first heard it. but he does
remember an afternoon at
Annapolis a couple of years
ago when the Queen Mother
of England was reviewing
the naval cadets on the
parade ground. The Naval
Academy Band marched
across the field playing that
martial march as a compli-
ment to the. royal visitor
The writer has to confess
that he had to ask a woman
reporter from the New York
Herald Tribune to get the
name of the tune.
The Marine Band played
a Spanish dance by Gounod
and finished up with the
number that stirs every eK-
member of the corps, the
Marine hymn.
From the halls OF Monte
zoo-oomd to the shores
of Tripoli
We haze fought our coun-
try's bd-atles In the
afr, on land and sea.
That ain the air" has been
introduced into the hymn
since the writer was a very
youthful Marine at the end
of World War l.
The members of the band
neglected to sing the couplet
In which we took delight:

Appeal Asks Upset
Of Insanity Release
Man Charged
With Tokinq
Trolley Freed

The Government today petit
toned the Municipal Court Of
Appeals TO order Judge Edward
A. Beard TO commit to st. Eliz-
abeths Hospital q man found
not guilty by reason Of insanity
in the theft Of q streetcar.
The prisoner Is Clayton Nor
gan, jr.. 40. Of the 1000 block
of Fourth street NV. Judge
Beard said there is no reason
to return the man to st. Eliza
beths. The judge said psychiat-
rists already have found Nor
gan competent to stand trial.
Asking an immediate hearing
on its petition, the United
States Attorneys once said:
mo room is left for the exer-
else Of judicial discretion. The
order Of the lower court dis
charging defendant Morgan
after q finding of not guilty by
reason of instantly was. there
fore. a clear abdication of judi
cial power which should be
corrected :"
DR.. winfred Overholser, SUI
|perintendent of st. Elizabeths
Hospital said it was the FIRST
case he had heard Of under the
|3-year-old District insanity law
In which a man was not placed
in a mental hospital after he
was found not guilty by reason
Of insanity.
The law states that such per-
sons are retained in a mental
institution until q pSychiatrist
and judge certify they are no
longer dangerous to themselves
or to others.
No violence History
Judge Beard said yesterday
there was no violence con-
nected with the background Of
the man" to justify keeping
him in custody.
The defendant was charged
with taking a 15-block ride In
an empty D. c. Transit street.
car last October 81 on Pennsyl-
vania avenue from Barney cir
Gle to the Library of Congress.
Late yesterday, Judge Beard
denied a motion by Assistant
U. S. Attorney Edmond T. DAILY
| to postpone Morgan's release.
Mr.. DAILY said the judge also
turned down a request for q
writ Of attachment which would
have permitted police to pick
up Morgan and take him to st.
Elizabeths.
Cleared for Trial
Morgan was committed to
st. Elizabeths last January af-
ter psychiatrists at the District
General Hospital found him to
be Of unsound mind. DR.. Mary
v. McIndoo. assistant chief
psychiatrist at District General.
said her staff found Morgan
to be a chronic alcoholic who
suffered from Authorizations.
st. Elizabeths psychiatrists
found Morgan competent to
stand trial last month.
A letter to the court last
Tuesday from DR.. Overholser
said his psychiatrists believed
Morgan was without mental
disorder at the time of the
streetcar incident.
Judge Beard halted yester-
days trial after testimony from
Government witnesses which
Hconvinced him, he said, that
Morgan was insane at the time
of the incident.
