Rough elbows will spoil the effect of a new spring ward robe just as quickly as a chapped, reddened complexion, so now is the time to give them extra attention.
 To soften, scrub elbows with a soft brush each time you bathe and rub your favorite hand lotion into them. Wipe off excess lotion with a piece of Kleenex tissue so that clothing won't be stained.

District Jurists
Hit Mandatory
Death Penalty
Judicial Conference
Takes Action With
Overwhelming Vote
BY PHIL THOMAS
star stan writer

me DlStrlcJS ly09 JUDICIAL
Conference voted 1913 today to
ask Congress to abolish manda-
tory capitalspunisbment in the
District. 4
The overwhelming vote was
made by the local judges and
lawyers Of the conference as
they met for the last day Of a
two-day session at the May
lower Hotel to 'discuss questions
relating to the administration
Of justice here.
The request for this action
was presented lin q resolution
drawn up by conference sub
committee.
subcommittee Chairman
David @. Dress, former presi-
dent OF the District Bar AS
ISOLATION, told the conference
the District Is the only jurisdic-
tionFederal or State--which
requires the death penalty in
iirst- degree cases.
Mr.. Dress said some persons
argue that the death penalty is
necessary as q deterrent to
J. &
murder.
Studies Cited
1--WE submit that such deter
rent value as the mandatory
death penalty may have will
not be reduced by eliminating
the mandatory feature" Mr..
Dress said.
He said that subcommittee
studies revealed. that in seven
States which. have abolished
the death penalty entirely there
have been fewer homicides per
zoe, 900 population than in COM
comparable States that still
have the death penalty.
| Mr.. Bress said the mandatory
death penalty here has been
self defeating and unwork-
able" because those charged
with first-degree murder win
acquittals. dismissals. convic-
ltions for lesser offenses and re-
versals Elm a larger percentage
of cases than do persons
charged with any other type OF
offense."
This position was supported
by United States Attorney Oil
yer Gasch. who supported the
move.
Further support for abolition
of the death penalty was giver
by Chairman Cellar Of the
House. Judiciary Committee In
q statement filed with the con.
ference record this morning.
GIobal Trend Argued
Mr.. Cellar said he believes
there is q Worldwide trend
away from capital punishment,
with about 80 countries aban-
edoning It. He added his opinion
that removal of the death sem
tence would make for more
convictions with. fewer delays, =
stating that life Imprisonment
is a sufiicient protection for the
public against a conyicted MUIR
derer.
IN opposition TO TIE abolish
ment Of the mandatory death
penalty here; former Assistant
United States Attorney E. Riley
Casey. now a lawyer In private
practice, contended that the
right of the STATE to infiict
capital punishment can best be
shown by its right Of self de
tense.
'To argue that the inanda-
tory aspect of capital punish
Iment should be abolished i:
ltantamount to seeking the abo-
Ilition Of capital punishment it.
Iself. for no man, whether he bs
Judge or juryman, wants to fee
THAT he personally is making
the decision to impose the death
penalty"
