The arrests followed assign

develop leads on the holdups,
and subsequent assignment of
detectives led by Detective
Benjamin j. Chaplin to in

The ringleader, who has a

picked up by the delicate
equipment and translated into
an astonishing picture.
The Herald said the camera
was developed primarily as a
reconnaissance device and that
concealment IRON this camera
OF bivouac areas, weapons,
parks, tanks, airplanes or any,
thing by usual camoufiage
measure is nearly impossible.
The Herald story quoted test
officials as saying that because
OF the highly classified nature
OF work going on with the in
frared camera, they could not
disclose how far backward into
time a picture can be taken.
Nor could they now release
their pictures because trained
people could read too much
from them" the story said.
Another important use of the
camera would be to detect
hidden atomic plants, which
generate tremendous amounts
Of heat.
THE camera, at high alti-
tudes and from long distance,
can pick UP these heat concern
trations and pinpoint them"
the story added.

Senate Bars
Funds for Study
OF Surrender

The Senate voted 49, yes.
terday to bar use of any Gov
eminent funds for a study Of
how this country should GO
about surrendering. if neces-
sary, in any future war.
Republicans Joined Demo-
cratic leaders in supporting the
amendment to a catch-all APP
preparation bill after President
Eisenhower gave assurance no
funds ever have or would be
spent for such a study. Through
Press Secretary Hagerty, the
President termed reports of
such a survey nonsense"
The two who held out to
the end against taking what
they deemed an unwise and I'M
necessary step were Republican
Senator Cooper of Kentucky
and Democratic Senator Neu-
berger of oregon.
Senator Neuberger chided
Senators for standing in IAN
aforementioned" chamber and
proclaiming that the word
surrender is not in their vo-
cabulary." He reminded his COL
leagues that brave men like
Gen. Jonathan wainwright at
Corregidor, and Gen. Robert E.
Lee in the Civil War found it
necessary to surrender.

Young Forger
Given Term

A 20-year-old youth was sem
fenced yesterday by Federal
Judge Joseph C. McGarraghy
to serve sentences totaling from
3 to 8 years for stealing a let
ter from a residential mail box
and forging three checks.
He is William E. Moore of the
TOO block of T street N. w.,
who had pleaded guilty. Moore
at the time of the offenSeS was
on parole from an indefinite
sentence under the Youth Cor
rections Act, the court was in
formed.
Judge Burnita Shelton Mat
thews sentenced Harold. S.
Cross, %, of the 5000 block of
Gay street NE. to serve from /
to 8 years for his part in steal
ing more than $1,000 worth Of
watches from the Schwartz
jewelry store, 1913 F street
NV, last April. A co-defendant
in the case was given a similar
sentence a week ago.
According to police, the
watches were taken while a
clerks attention was distracted.
In another case, Judge Mat
thewS gave Clarence Thomp-
kins, 80, Of the 1900 block Of
Monroe street NV, from / to
3 years for forging a money
order and causing a forged
money order to be transported
in interstate commerce.
Thompkins, however, already
was under a 2-to-6-year SEN
tence on an assault charge,
authorities said. AS this was
not mentioned by the Judge,
the new sentence will run con-
currently with the old one,
giving Thompkins no addi-
tional time to serve.
Charges of HOUSEKEEPING,
larceny and additional charges
of forging and passing money
orders. on which Thompkins
had been indicted, were dis
missed.
A man and woman were SEN
fenced by Judge McGarraghy
to serve from s to Is months
each for attacking a police
man when the officer attempted
to arrest them on drunkenness
charges. The two are Charles
E. Parker, %, and his friend,
Mary E. Parker, 81, both of
the 1900 block Of Sixteenth
street NV. Mr.. Parker's SEN
tence was ordered to run con-
secutively with sentences pre-
viously given him at Municipal
Court on traffic charges.

the last 10 years, newspapers
have discovered that they, too,
should hire and train personnel
on a basis more solid than their
editors frame of mind.
These newspapers, said J.
Montgomery Curtis, director of
the American Press Institute,
have adopted intelligent per-
sonnet programs common to
many modern-day corporations.
Mr.. Curtis addressed last
nights windup dinner meeting
of the two-day regional con-
ference of the Associated Press
for the Middle Atlantic States.
Attending were 100 editors and
publishers from five States and
the District of Columbia.
Another trend, he said, was
the change in content of news
papers to meet new tastes, in
terests and habits of the read
ing public.
For example, he noted, five
years ago there was little in
newspapers on boating, sailing,
hunting and fishing and other
leisure-time pursuits. Now
newspapers have noted the in
leisure time of their
and are providing what
their readers want.

Camera to Reach Back
Into Time DEVELOPED

MIAMI. Fla, Aug. 16 (AP)
The Miami Herald said last
night the Air Force has devel-
oped an infrared camera which
literally can reach backward
into time for a picture.
In a copyrighted story from
Eglin Air Force Base, Fla, by
staff writer Mike Morgan, the
Herald said the camera took a
picture late at night from a
reconnaissance plane Of an
empty parking lot and came
up with a picture Of cars which
had been parked on the lot
hours previously.
TEST officials at this air
proving ground center explained
that the camera absorbs heat
rays. emitted by solid objects,
instead Of light rays, to record
its picture" Mr.. Morgan wrote.
Extreme sensitive equip
ment which can distinguish in
thousandths of a degree Of heat
registers the picture by heat
contrasts Of objects in the
picture.
The story said although the

Ex-President
Pension Bill
Due to Pass
D the Assoeiated Press

N~~~N~NSN~A
Final congressional approval
OF a compromise bill to provide
pensions Of $4,000 a year for
former Presidents Of the United
States seemed certain today.
Widows Of ex Presidents
would be entitled under the
bill to pensions of $4,000 a
year If they waived any other
pension they were drawing
from the Government.
Senate-House conferees
agreed yesterday on the pen
sionS and on providing former
Presidents unlimited free mail
ing privileges, free Office space
and $4,000 a year for clerical
help.
The House, when it passed
the bill. struck out all but the
pensions for ex-Presidents and
their widows.
The original Senate bill al
lowed ex-Presidents about twice
as much as the compromise
measure for clerical help.
The conferees agreed to limit
the top employe of an ex-Presi-
dent to a salary equal to that
OF a Senator's administrative
assistant, or about $4,000 a.
year.
The only living ex-Presidents
are Democrat Harry s. Tru-
man and Republican Herbert
Hoover.
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt
and Mrs. Woodrow Wilson are
the only widows Of Presidents.
The compromise measure
now returns to the Senate and
the House for final action.

Brief Defends
School Arson
Case Appeal

Juvenile Court was specifi-
cally designed to avoid the at
mosphere Of adult criminal
proceedings. the Government
contended yesterday in a brief
in the Stevens School arson
case fled with the Municipal
Court Of Appeals.
The Government contended
it had the right to appeal the
freeing Of three juveniles
charged with setting fire to the
school last March Is.
The brief cited a 1854 de-
cision by District Court Chief
Judge Bolitha j. Laws which
held that, since Juvenile Court
proceedings are civil in nature,
constitutional safeguards are
not applicable.
Attorneys for the three boys
commended in a brief filed
Wednesday that juveniles con-
stitutional rights are not re-
stricted by the special laws
which govern handling Of ju-
venile cases.
The defense attorneys con-
tend that the Government APP
peal would place the boys in
double jeopardy, a violation Of
the Fifth Amendment of the
Constitution.
The Government cited cases
from other jurisdictions to show
that juvenile court proceedings
have been repeatedly construed
as civil, special and nom
criminal proceedings"
Acting Juvenile Court Judge
Austin L. Tickling dismissed
the arson charges last June
after a detective refused to
name his informant. The fire
caused $4,000 damage at the
school at Twenty-flrst and L
streets NV.
