enjoyed it and I also enjoyed
reading the Herald, tho l didn't

connection.

he couldn't get it working
properly. The shop owner be-
came suspicious because Carr
preferred to pay for repairing
the set rather than use the
service-free guarantee that

found four other radio and
television sets in Carr's apart
ment, said the only thing wrong

pSychiatriStS decided at a con-
ference recently the woman is
no longer insane and will not

SEND A KID TO CAMP
Young Michael Needs
A Respite From Fear

Michael's father might be a
bad dream, or the bogeyman
foolish parents invent.
Unfortunately he is real, as
his wife and children know too
we'll.
His youngsters dread his
presence. Even his wife is
afraid of what he would do if
she tried to leave. Beatings
are routine in Michael's home.
The only time the family is
free is when the father is in
ljail-a fairly chronic condition.
He has been sentenced for
contempt of court because he
refused to appear before a
Judge considering Michael's
case. The boy had broken into
a store to steal food.
Although he is the cause of
so much of his children's dis
tress, the father rejects them
if they get in trouble. I'm
through with you," he tells
them when they need him
most.
Eleven-year-old Michael, his
mother and brothers and sis
terS never saw the Thanksgiv-
ing basket a service club sent
one year. His father took it at
the door of his home. He may
have exchanged food for
liquor.

Warren Urges
Goal Of fPeace
Tells AU Seniors
Oldsters Failed

Chief Justice Warren advised
American University's gradual
ling class-and all the younger
generation-to devote itself to
the cause of world peace last
night.
Speaking at the twilight
ceremonies in the university
campus, the Chief Justice said
the older generation had failed
in obtaining world peace be-
cause it had not reached that
degree of human understanding
that would bring about such
a happy result"
He said peace and justice
never became that generations
main preoccupations.
"The time is ripe for the
young people of this oncomine
generation to dedicate them
selves to these great causes y
he said. 1T can be justified on
the grounds of both enlighten-
ment and Self-preservation."
2 Choices Offered
The Chief Justice said the
older generation had left the
younger one two choices-tota'
destruction through atomic
weapons or world peace
through the United Nations.
Every generation of Amer
leans has been an important
one in the development of oul
country and in the preserva-
ton of our way of life," he
said. Some have been obliged
to shoulder greater RESPONSE
bilities and, in doing so, have
made grea ter contributions
than others.
I'm this respect your genera
tion is unique. 1t has no coun-
terpart in history. No other
generation at any time or any
place has had the power, on
the one hand, to entirely de-
Stroy civilization on earth or
on the other, to bring about
an understanding between ma
tionS and peoples which will
enable everyone, everywhere
to live at peace with and with
dignity, regardless of race
color or creed"
Gets Honorary Degree
The Chief Justice received
an honorary doctor of laws de-
gree from the university.
Other honorary degrees were
awarded to the Rev. G. Brom-
Hey Oman, resident bishop OF
the Washington area of the
Methodist Church since 1852
