Cromelin, Townsend, Camalier
and Kirkland.
In January, 1947, a new role
took him to the Capitol as
counsel for the Senate District
Committee. His knowledge of
District affairs, and work in
civic affairs, qualified him for
the task of pushing legislation.
Judge Kirkland had been an
advocate Of District suffrage
and had served as president Of
the Shepherd Park Citizens As
ISOLATION and as chairman Of
the Board of Trade Public Util-
tiles Committee. During the
war he was chairman of the

that continued as Judge in law
schools Moot Court. An occa-
sional lecturer at Southeastern

tired in 1857 with the rank Of
commander.
Another of his diverse in
terests was his church. At the

pal Young Peoples Society and
later was vestryman of the

Judge kirkland, who lived
had been under treatment for
a kidney ailment.
Judge Kirkland, who lived at
1925 Loughboro road NV, had
been under treatment for kid
ney ailment.
He was appointed to the
bench by President Truman in
October. 1919. The following
March. the Senate confirmed
the recess appointment without
objection and by unanimous
consent.
Judge Kirkland was lauded
as IAN able and very beloved
man" at a session of District
judges this morning in the
United States Courthouse's
ceremonial courtroom.
For more than eight years
he rendered a conspicuous
service to this court" said Chief
Judge Bolitha j. Laws. I'VE
shall miss him both as a man
of the law and as a friend"
The large room was filled
with members of the bench, the
bar and the courthouse clerical
staff. At the end of the brief
service court was adjourned
until next Monday.
Judge Kirkland had been
prepared for judicial duties by
broadening combination of the
practice of law, a period as an
assistant United States attor-
ney, the teaching of law, and
q long and active participation
in civic affairs.
Friendly, ApprOachable
Judge Kirkland's basic quail
ties-friendliness a down-to-
earth approach to things and
the knack Of keeping in touch
with the average man-did not
change when he donned the
somber robes Of the courtroom.
He was always approachable
to anyone and had a ready
smile that made him a popular
figure around the courthouse.
That is not to say he could
not lash out on occasion, not
excepting the Supreme Court
If he thought a judgment in
correct.
He displayed this in one Of
the Districts biggest gambling
cases in condemning Charles E.
Nelson, his wife and other de-
PENDANTS while sentencing them
in February, 1852.
He called the ringleaders
cheap" despite their multi
million dollar operation, and
said they did not have the
courage of another convicted
gambler, William (Snags)
Lewis, who at least had taken
the rap for his employees.
Interested in Sports
His avid interest in sports
was reflected as he colorfully
complimented Prince Georges
officials for cooperating in
breaking up the gambling ring.
They mouse-trapped the
linesmen, and the District of
Columbia tackled the backfleld
and the whole bunch went to
Jail" he said.
A moment later. another of
his interests, the reading Of
detective stories for relaxation.
was reflected as he blasted a
former policeman in the ring
for selling his gun as COM
mon torpedo. or hoodlum. and
conveying people back and
forth"
Judge Kirkland may have
summed up his conception of a
jurist's responsibility when he
acquitted Steve Nelson, a top
Communist, of contempt of
Congress in 1852.
Even Satan would get a trial
in an American court" he said.
THE principle of law involved
is more important than the
personality of the defendant.

Associated Press stan Writer

AMSTERDAM, Mar. 49,
Queen Elizabeth II makes a
state visit Tuesday and she may
have as much trouble SLEEPING
as the last British monarch to
accept Dutch hospitality.
The last one would be King
Charles II. He arrived nearly
two centuries ago-and not on
q state visit. either.
Charlie-boy had lost his
throne and was deeing from
Oliver Cromwell. That's why he
couldn't sleep.
No modern Cromwell glowers
after Queen Elizabeth or Prince
Philip. If sleep won't come II
probably will be because it's
noisy here.
The royal couple will spend
two nights ashore in Dutch pal
aces. both Of them below sea
level.
Traffic Both Ways
On Tuesday they will stay at
the Dam Palace, in the noisy
center Of this busting city.
Traffic flows around the pal
ace in two directions. Right
under the Queens bedroom is
Ia double line Of streetcar
tracks.
Holland is celebrated as a
land of warm hospitality. pic
turesque windmills, blooming
tulips, sturdy bikes and clam
orous clocks.
Within a mile of the Dam
Palace five huge clocks chime
out each hour Of the long
watches of the night-but
never at the same time.
Like rugged Dutch individ-
ualists they clang the hour
within a space Of about three
minutes, never in unison.
Church Bells to Peal
At 7 am. the ragged chorus
of clo4ks is Joined by the more
meloMous changing of two
nearby sets of church bells.
Then the trolleys start. And
in an hour the tingling of hun
dreds of bicycle bells.

High Birth Rate
Increases Demand
For More Nurses

COLUMBUS - (SpeciaD - A
total of 4,320,0O0 babies for 1857
up nearly 100000 over 1856.
These figures, indicating that the
baby crop for 1857 will reach a
new high for the seventh year in a
row, reveal one important reason
why the demand for graduate pro-
fessional nurses is always on the
increase.
Interpreting this need, Miriam
Petchner, director of nursing at
the Grant hospital, says:
AS our population grows -
with more births on one hand and
with people living longer on the
other we must educate more
professional nurses each year just
to hold our own.
when it is considered that
health authorities believe three
hundred nurses per thousand pop
ulation rather than the current
ratio of 258 - are needed to insure
the welfare of the nation, one can
begin to see the complexity of the
problem.
The nursing school at the Grant
Hospital expects to enroll the larg-
est class of students in its history
in 1858, she added.
