A husband does not have to
pay a debt incurred by his wife
unless he is a party to the
transaction, the District NUM-
cipal Court Of Appeals has
ruled.
The court warned, however,
that if he fails to support her
at all. he is liable for all debts.
The appellate opinion rever-
sed a verdict given in a test
case last winter by Municipal
Court Chief Judge Leonard P.
Walsh. Judge Walsh, contacted
yesterday. said, the opinion
would set an important pre-
cedent for his court.

What Shortage Does
The committee noted that
because of the general person.
mel shortage:
/. Patients in the clinical Sec
tionS are not getting adequate
psychiatric and basic medical
care.
2. There are patients in the
hospital who don't need to be
there and who could be dis
charged or placed in nursing
homes.
3. There is no time and little
incentive" for any type of re-
search, an adjunct that fur

At the same time, however,
the group praised the admin
istration and staff of the hos
pital for outstanding work and
loyalty despite the acute per-
sonnel shortage.
Major Recommendations
Six major recommendations
were made:
/. The hospitals generally
denied request for additional
personnel be accepted by Con-
greSS.
2. The supervisory scientific
staff be increased.
8. The nursing staff-at pres
ent neither adequate in quail
ity or quantity"-be expanded
4. Allied patient care services
such as the pharmacy and lab
watory be expanded.
S. Community services should
be augmented. At present the
District government has only
a few demonstration projects
for patient care after hoSpi-
talization.
6. Certain organizational
changes should be made. "Seri-

Sixteen criminals, including
three murderers, have confessed
and then been allowed to plead
guilty to lesser crimes during
the last six months because of
the Mallory decision. a Star
survey showed yesterday.
In addition to these 16, the
survey also disclosed, seven
have gotten of scot free despite
their confessions. Among those
now free is one who, police
said, has admitted to setting
100 fires
Under the Supreme Courts
Mallory decision of June, 1857,
a confession was barred from
the evidence because of a 71a-
hour delay between arrest Of
"a rape suspect and police
efforts to locate a committing
magistrate.
Since then, several District
Court judges here have in
terpreted the decision as bar
ring confessions if there is
any delay-even half an hour
in getting a suspect arraigned.
Remedial Law Sought
In an effort to clarity the
decision. the House has passed
a bill to provide that delay
alone would not rule out an
otherwise admissible confession

Potter Hits Failure

BY PAUL HOPE

ROANOKE. Va, July 12-
The Virginia State Republican
Convention ended on a note Of
discord today and hot words
were exchanged between State
Chairman /. Lee Potter Of
Arlington and two members Of
the 4th District committee.
Mr.. Potter was accused of
trying to run 4th District affairs
and he, in turn, invited party
members sympathetic to the
Democratic cause to step over
into the Democratic ranks.
AS expected. the convention
declined to put up a candidate
to oppose Democratic Senator
Byrd. But the temperS f1ared
over whether a Republican can
didate should be put up in the
.4th District congressional race.
A long argument also de-
|veloped in the resolutions COM
mittee over whether the con-
vention should ask for the re-
moval of Presidential aide
Sherman Adams. But a resolu-
ton finally was approved by
the committee and the conven-
ton expressing confidence that
President Eisenhower and Re-
publican leaders will take
proper action after all the facts
are available" in the Adams
Goldfine affair.
Dalton Presents Candidate
AS the convention was about
to close, State Senator Ted Dali
ton, a national committeeman
and gubernatorial candidate
last year, introduced Frank M.
McCann. 80, as a candidate to
oppose the Democratic Repre-
sentative Abbitt in the 4th Dis
trict. Mr.. McCann said he be-
lieved I'VE need a real two-party
system in the 4th District and

expenses, which 1t asserted
properly should be entered as
part of d. G. Transit's operat-
ing costs.
Auditor Falk, however,
knocked out $52,l28 of these
items as improper. He recon-
mended the commission permit
the remaining $16.776 to be
charged to operating expenses.
Mr.. Chalk protested against
the action, but nonetheless
agreed to it. In a letter to Com
mission Chairman George E. C.
Hayes several months ago, the
transit line president stated
while he is convinced the ex-
pense listing was proper, II de-
sire very strongly to continue

would not risk disturbing them
by disagreement over this

Entries Called Improper
The practice of the commits
sion staff is to disallow such
as football tickets on
the grounds they are donations
chargeable to the company
stockholders rather than to the
transit passengers. Similarly,
the commission regards such
items as living quarters and
meals for Mr.. Chalk or his as
sociates as improper entries in

treated. instead, as personal

Dead in the shooting early
yesterday morning was James
Albert Mawyer. %. a grocery
clerk and father Of two sons
by two marriages.
Booked late yesterday for
murder was Mrs. Kathleen
Kay Colt. the mother Of the
dead mans estranged young
wife. Mrs. Colt, wife Of Roger
o. Colt, an Alexandria build
ing contractor, is the mother
Of three children.
Maj. Russell Hawes. Alex
andria police chief, said Mrs.
Colt first told police she fired
at "a man" in her back yard.
He said she later changed that
to say she fired "at a noise"
in the back yard and that she
never actually saw anybody.
At no time in more than four
hours Of questioning, he said,
did Mrs. Colt ever say she knew
the noise in her yard was ere
ated by her son-in-law or that
she was firing at him.
Disliked Son-in-Law
Mrs. Colt, however. did tell
police, according to Detective
Sergt. F. H. johnson, that she
did not like her son-in-law and
that he was forbidden to visit
the Colt home.
In the Colt home at 2406
Taylor avenue in one of
Alexandria'S more fashionable
areas, the Colts oldest daugh-
ter, 17-year-old Kay Colt
Mawyer, and Kay's two-month-
old son, Mickey Colt Mawyer,

after the girls marriage to Mr..
Mawyer.
The shooting, which stunned
the Jefferson Park area OF
Alexandra and prompted a
stream Of neighbors to bring

pathy to the Colts. was
shrouded in mystery and con-
fusion until police unraveled it
yesterday afternoon.
Police have been unable to
find anyone who saw young
Mawyer alive after 8 pm. Fri

his apartment at 305 East Dun

scheduled to launch into cross
examination of d. C. Transit's

Flanagan, vice president, con-
troller and treasurer.
Indications are that the COM
mission staff will be especially
interested in the company's
listed operating expense items
which it has been charging of
to Washington's mass transit
riders.
When Mr.. Flanagan was on
the witness stand at the initial

TN the great majority of
