Charles j. Ray used to be a
cab driver here.
But on March 81, 1887. just
after dropping off a passenger,
Mr.. Ray went blind.
1t was as sudden as that
''just like you were pulling
down a shade" he recalls.
Despite the lack of prior
training in the field, Mr.. Ray
today is an upholsterer. He has
his own business. Among his
customers are President and
Mrs. Eisenhower and Gen. and
Mrs. Alfred M. Gruenther,
president of the American Ma
tional Red Cross.
This is. as Mr.. Ray puts it,
a more respectable career.

About 1912, Mr.. Ray started

which employs and trains the

in the upholstery department,
he was proficient enough
to have four handicapped

Under present law, the larger

According to the United

withhold his amendment until

The House Education and

had not done so.
Both bills would extend Fed

Federal activities is felt more
severely.
The so-called Powell amend
ment, offered to similar aid

FAMOUS FABLES

BEDTIME STORY: British
actor Sir Henry Irving was
plagued with insomnia. but his
degree Of sleeplessness could be
measured. AS a result, his stage
manager could determine how
rehearsals would fare the fol-
lowing day.
Sir Henry had two bedrooms
in his fiat. each with two beds.
When sleep eluded him. he
would change from one bed to
another. In the morning. when
the stage manager called, he
would check the beds.
If only one bed had been
slept in, he knew that Irving
had enjoyed a restful night
and would be all smiles at re-
hearsal. II two beds had been
disturbed, he would be polite
but formal to the cast. II three
beds had been used. he would
lash out angrily with an acid
tongue.
But II all four beds had been
slept in. the stage manager
would warn everyone to steer
clear of him.

Dear DIR. SteincrOhn: About

to hurt. The pain is a burn
ing, aching and spasmOdic
one. 1 have been to three ma
jOr hospitals in the Boston
and New York area and they
diagnosed my condition as
peripheral neuritis. l have
been on vitamins and other
drugs without relief. I'm at
my wits end. I've even had
psychiatric treatment. l can't
work and l can't sleep. I have
a good business but ! can't
enjoy anything.
I don't touch a drop of Ii
0uOr but / do smoke two to
ga packs Of cigarettes a day.
They say my circulation is
good but could the tobacco
be causing any Of my trou-

me? AnxiOusly awaiting re-

When you were under OBJ

One thing stands out in the
history you give: cigarette
smoking. Whenever I've been
confronted with a diagnostiC
problem having to do with pain

I've asked the patient about

two ways about it: Stop smok-

even If he smoked only a half

as legal guilt is concerned. A
doctor who administers an

guilty as a hired "hood"-al-
though his punishment might
be different.
Motive becomes important In
murder mainly in circumstan-

which is what counts. SANITY
OF the killer, OF course. must
be considered; but that is an
other matter.)
Sometimes the law will even
infer malice If the act causing
death is done with sufficient
abandon and disregard for
human life. A man who killed
by getting drunk in a tavern
and shooting up the place at
random. as Western bad men
often do in the movies, might
easily be found guilty Of MUIR

the necessary malice existed in
anyone who chose to play such
Russian roulette with the public.
