75-Minute Delay Fails
To Bar Confession Of 2

Criminal trials where the
question Of guilt or innocence
of a defendant is almost entire
" forgotten (are) a mockery of
justice" according to Federal
Judge Alexander Holtzoff.
The judge made his views
known in an opinion in which
he refused to accept anything
more than a strict interpreta-
ton of last June's Mallory de-
cision by the Supreme Court.
The opinion was written in
the case Of two sailors, Paul j.
Heideman and Daniel r.
Brennan. who were convicted
on Tuesday of robbing a taxi
cab driver here last October "a
after knocking him over the
head with a gravel filled sock.
75-Minute Delay
Attorneys for the two de-
PENDANTS objected to admission
Of confessions by the sailors on
grounds there had been un-
necessary delay between their
arrest and arraignment-a
matter Of rs minutes.
The Mallory decision held
that the confession Of a de-
PENDANT in a trial cannot be
admitted in evidence, If there
had been unnecessary delay be-
tween his arrest and arraign-
ment that would tend to give
police time to extract the con-
fession.
Several judges Of the District
Court here. ruling within the
bounds Of the Mallory decision,
have refused to allow admission
Of confessions where delay was
two hours or less.
But Judge Holtzod said in
his opinion that the delay in
the Mallory case was about
seven and a half hours.
Delay Held Too Long
The result Of the Mallory de-
cision. as 1t applies to that case
only, is that a delay Of seven
and half hours is too long, the |
Judge said.
"Where the line Is to be |
drawn must be determined ac-
cording to the usual process
Of the common law by judicial
decisions as cases arise" he
said.
The Judge noted that "the
rule Of evidence enunciated by
the Supreme Court is naturally
subject to change by an act Of
Congress"
He also said that members Of |
q community have a right to
be protected and that "the VIC
time Of the crime must not |
become a forgotten man.
His rights are much greater
than those Of the criminal.
When the criminal law ceases

to becoming a lawyer after a
long economic Struggle. At first
Brown insisted he had no real
intent" to defraud the Govern
ment, but Judge Watkins noted
that for 1852 Brown had re-
ported less than 10 per cent Of
his net income of $4,000 plus.
and had paid a tax of only
$21.29 when $4,004.60 was due.
Judge Watkins said he recog-
nized that disbarment might
follow sentence, and that it
would amount to a punishment
continuing throughout a mans
lifetime. The element of public
detriment requires imprison-
ment, said the Judge.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-02-07

to protect the public, it has
failed of its purpose" he said.
Judge Holtzoff said that
trials seem to degenerate too
often into a debate over mat
tiers that have no bearing on
the real question at issue,
which is whether the defendant
committed the crime with
which he is charged.
"One sometimes gets a feel
ing that such a trial is being
conducted in a remote artificial
world that may be depicted by
a Lewis Carroll (author Of
Alive in Wonderland'O.

The
Rambler
-. Finds He Must
Listen for q chunce
By GEORGE KENNEDY


Perhaps a lot of us do not
realize that we have a pSy-
chologist as secretary. or
head, of the Smithsonian
Institution.
The Rambler didn't until
the other day.
And he did not realize that
the psychologist, DR.. Leonard
Carmichael, former president
of Tufts University, has been
at the Smithsonian for five
years.
DR.. Carmichael is tall and
vigorous, gray and mus
tached. He has a booming
voice and is likely to do all
the talking when being inter-
viewed something the Ram
bier seldom allows.
He was in his offices on
the second floor above the
east, or office, entrance of
the original Smithsonian
Building. with paintings of
the Hudson River school of
artists on the walls. From
1847 to 1873 the rooms were
the living quarters of the
first secretary, Joseph Henry,
who might be- called Mr..
Scientific American.

the District Committee Of the
need for action will spur the
House Judiciary Committee to
face up promptly to the prob
lens confronting the entire
country in this field"
George L. Hart. jr.. chair
man of the District Council on
Law Enforcement, said he was
gratified that the House Dis
trict Crime Subcommittee is
going to study the crime prob
lem now facing the District.
1.-THE situation grows more
serious each day." he said,
land the public is in urgent
need of additional protection
which can only be provided by
the Congress. We are confident
that the subcommittee studies
will result in legislation which,
W lille protecting individual
rights. will also protect the
lives and property of the law
abiding citizens Of the COM
and make it possible
for the people to walk in safety
on the streets of our city either
by day or by night"
Chairman Davis of the Crime
Subcommittee said his group
had been holding back in hope
that the House Judiciary Com
would act soon but that
committee has been moving so
slowly and the situation has
gotten so terrible. that we didn't
feel we could sit with our hands
folded any longer"
Answer to Request
He said that when the Dis
trict Council on Law Enforce
ment - the congressionally
established watchdog on Dis
trict crime-called on the
House District Committee for
help, the legislators felt they
had to do what they could to
counterfeit violence on the
streets of Washington.
II think" he said, that we
can enact legislation to relieve
the situation in the District
whether or not the judiciary
Committee acts on national
legislation"
The crime subcommittee has
authorized Mr.. Davis to employ
q top-fiight Washington lawyer
TO determine what legislative
steps can and should be taken.
Mr.. Davis said. a package

crime bill. will be introduced

NAACP Attorney Gets
Year for Tex Evasion

BALTIMORE, Feb. Z (Spe-
ciaD Edwin Cicero Brown,
ST.. Northern Virginia attor-
ney for the NAACP. today was
sentenced to one year in prison
and fined $4,000 after he had
pleaded guilty to two counts of
a four-count indictment charg-
ing income tax evasion.
In passing sentence, Federal
Judge r. Dorsey Watkins said
that Brown had avoided proper
taxation for at least 10 years.
Lengthy arguments urging
probation for Brown were sub
mitted to the court. Judge
Watkins said at first he was
satisfied that Brown had COM
pletely learned a lesson, but
later added that he was less
satisfied after Brown himself
tried to justify what he did"
in a fearful statement to the
court.
EvasiOns Total SS,558
The 49-year-old defendant,
who has Offices in Alexandria
and whose home address is at
1929 Girard street NE, WASH
ington, was indicted for eva
sions totaling $8,558.O5. The
pleas of guilty involved only
$2.389.64.
Government agents said that
while evasions for only four
years were charged because
of limitations, investigations
showed tax underestimate
over a l0-year period. with a
civil liability amounting to
$23,399. plus about $4,000 in
interest.
Browns school teacher wife
also made a plea in his behalf.
His two lawyers. Curtis p.
Mitchell and Llewellyn A. Luce,
told the court that Brown had
a perfect reputation for hon
esty and integrity"
An additional plea for Glenn

wept as he said that Browns

Russian Jet
Blows Tire
AtFriendship
BY CHARLES YARBROUGH
star Staff Writer

BALTIMORE. Feb. RUS
Sia'S big jet transport, already
plying commercial runs, blew
one of its four main-gear tires
in a 6,000-foot landing run
here yesterday-but neatly.
The TU-104A (for Tupelov),
with new Soviet Ambassador
Mikhail A. Menshikov. his wife
and % others aboard, drew a
surging crowd to Friendship
airport's observation decks and
ramps.
The sightseers swept uncon-
trolled over the ramp as the
huge. two-jet liner rolled to a
stop. Then they clogged the
corridors where Ambassador
Menshikov spoke briefly for the
press and television.
Obviously it was the plane
the crowd came to see.
Few in the crowd were aware
of the blown out tire, even after
the transport stopped at the
terminal. Crewmen, including
three United States Air Force
members. were non-committal
Trails Of Smoke
There were momentary smoke
streaks from the tires as the lO4
touched down about 4:18 pm,
at what appeared to be about
100 miles an hour. At one point
during the landing roll, there
was another squirt of smoke
from the left gear, possibly
when the tire Debated.
The plane, which had a
touchdown weight of about
140, 900 pounds, is the Soviet
commercial version of the
Badger bomber. with what
would APPARENTLY be the bonn
bardier's nose compartment
still obvious. One crew men,
Der was in the plexiglass nose
section when the plane stopped.
Compared to BOeing 7O7
Its noise level at idling is
well below that of the prototype
Boeing TOT transport and even
below the prophet Viscounts
used by Capital Airlines.
Its wing sweep-back is less
than the TOTS IS degrees.
The engines, with huge.
gaping intakes set near the
wing roots. have about 10000
pounds Of thrust each. A blue
streak ran along the silver
sides: a bright red Soviet flag
was painted on the vertical fin.
The 104 is one Of at least 80
built by the Russians. They
are now flying regular routes
between Moscow and Prague
and Moscow and. Peiping, doing
the Prague run in about 2
hours 80 minutes.
Under police guard. the plane
will remain at Friendship until
Sunday; then return to Mos
COW.

Senate Fight Looms
On Juvenile Judge
Both Sides Eager
To Debate Bill
For ID Jurist

A Senate floor fight doomed
today on legislation for a Sec
ond Juvenile Court Judge in
the District.
Both proponents and oppo-e
nents Of the bill said they were
eager to dislodge it from the
Senate calendar to open de-
bate on the floor. A similar
bill already has passed the
House.
Senator Bible, Democrat of
Nevada. just named unofficial
mayor" of Washington as
Senate District Committee
chairman. said he would ask
Democratic leaders to bring up
the bill promptly.
Senator Frear, Democrat Of
Delaware, was also reported to
have demanded debate. He
would welcome a battle over
the bill and will propose at
least three major changes, It
was learned.
Frear Seeks Changes
Senator Frear, who bitterly
opposed the appointment Of
Juvenile Court Judge Orm w.
Ketcham in April. 1857, wants:
Any second Judge to be q
resident OF the District. The
pending measure requires only
metropolitan area residence.
The new judge to have two
years previous experience in jul
venile courts. Prior experience
as judge is not required by the
language in the pending bill.
Positions of clerk and deputy
clerk. shifted from the Civil
Service to the court by the bill,
lodged with the Civil Service.
Speed on Bill Urged
The controversial bill has
been marked top priority for
this session by the District
commissioners. They have
urged Senator Bible to speed
it through the Senate because
growing case loads have i'm
posed near impossible work
burdens on Judge Ketcham.
Senator Frear's position on
the bill is positively the same
as it was last year, or If any
thing more strict" a close aide
said today.
He said Senator Frear had
received indications Of support
in his opposition. The Senate
Post Office and Civil Service
Committee repeatedly has been
investigating claims that csc
jurisdiction would be curtailed.
csc Probe Reported
One spokesman close to the
situation said the csc itself
was probing the circumstances
surrounding the dismissal Of
Mrs. Alice B. Freer, former adj
ministrative assistant at the
court, by Judge Ketcham last
October. A Civil Service en-
ploye. Mrs. Freer was asked to
resign to retain her Civil Serv-
ice retirement rights, accord
inc to Judge Ketcham.
Mrs. Freer served former
Juvenile Court Judge Edith H.
Cockrill. Judge Ketcham's
predecessor. whose reappoints
ment was strongly championed
by Senator Frear. The Sem
ator's proposals to change the
pending bill were considered
last year as aimed at guaran-
teeing Judge Cockrill continued
tenure on the bench.
The bill was slated to be
called to the floor on the calen.
dar yesterday. One objection
could have killed it. Senator
Frear forwarded his objection
in advance to Majority Leader
Johnston, Democrat of Texas.
1t was reported.

impact on law enforcement of
several major court rulings.
Targets Listed
The Seven-member crime sub
committee, which earlier in
vestigated District crime and
came up with the omnibus
crime law. listed these targets:
Legislation to ease the SUI
preme Courts Mallory decision
under which police are virtually
barred from questioning sus-
poets.
Legislation to provide q new
yardstick for the insanity de-
Tense, aimed at clarifying the
United States Court of Appeals
decision in the Durham case.
Legislation to revise the
Juvenile Court Act, aimed at
the older juveniles who have
been involved in many of the
recent purse-snatchings and
yoke-robberies on Washington
streets.
Steps to bolster the Police
Department through providing
the incentives-salary or other
wise-to aid recruiting and to
bring the department to its
2,500-man strength.
Welcomed by Heating
Possibly legislation to insure
confinement for habitual Grim
inals-the repeaters who COM
NIT new crimes as soon as they
are released from prison.
Representative Heating, Re-
publican Of New York, who has
been trying to get action from
the House Judiciary Committee
on bill to ease the Mallory de-
cision and on an Investigation
of the insanity defense in Fed
eral courts, welcomed the Dis
trict groups decision to attack
the problems affecting law en-
forcement.
"P rob bly, legislation to
amend the Districts criminal
code is desirable" Mr.. Heating
said. But the problems raised
by the Mallory and Durham
decisions are Nation wide in
scope. The effects Of these de-
cisions bear upon every man,

States.

THAT'S RIGHT" said DR..
Carmichael. But don't
think that we aren't bigger
than ever in show business.
Last year there we're 5 million
admissions to these buildings
on the Mall. We don't know
how many people that is,
because we have yet to devise
a Geiger counter that would
let us know how many people
visited all five buildings on
one day, or two or just one.
But it's a lot of people, and
it is 40 per cent more than
it was only four years ago."
The Rambler suggested a
guided tour of the Smith
sonian. We entered the Arts
and Industries Building.
Here's our finest possess
sion,7 DR.. Carmichael said,
pointing to the wall of the
room. that contains the Kitty
Hawk plane and the Spirit
of st. Louis" He was
pointing to the flag that flew
at Fort McHenry in Balti-
more Harbor on September
IA, 1914, and caused Francis
Scott Key to write 1.-THE Star
Spangled Banner"
It's a big flag; covers the
entire wall. But the view is
blocked by exhibit cases.

1--WE WATCHED people by
the hour as they pass one of
our old exhibits" he said.
THAT'S the case containing
500 Indian stone Ratchet
heads. Only a paleontolo-
gist specializing on the
American Indian would be
interested in their variations.
Visitors just give them a
glance and pass on.
Nov, if we had just one
Indian Ratchet head in a
display explaining how the
Indians Clipped them into
shape, how they used them
in the arts of war and peace,
it would be much more in
tereSting.
I'VE have the greatest
scientific collections in the
world. I feel sure that we
have more than the British
Museum-44 million cata-
logued objects.
Last year we added only
CAT, 900 somewhat less than
the year before. Now with the
administration of these huge
collections and the institu-
tons scientific work in
zoology. botany, astrophysics
and geology, its expeditions
and its laboratories, it is
understandable that the ex-
hibitions have been neg-'
lected.'
The Rambler got a word in:
you mean they forgot
they were in show business"
Exactly" snapped DR..
Carmichael.
There was a time in the
1905 and 1905 when the
Smithsonian was famous
among the great museums
of the world for its exhibit
tons"
The Rambler got in again:
That's when the side
show bankers at the county
fairs used to shout, Similar
to the one on exhibit in the
Smithsonian Institution at
Washington Dee Geo."
Mild amazement helped DR..
Carmichael to suffer this
interruption.
Were you there?" he
asked.
