by over l7l2 per cent last year.
If the Domestic Relations
Court were asked to handle the
additional cases, Judge Myers
said, another judge would be
needed.
Furthermore, he said. the
transfer of jurisdiction would
also require a change in the
statutory authority given us. "
Paternity cases involving chill
dren born out of wedlock are
not within the courts jurisdic-

Meanwhile, District Commit

proved, non-support cases would
probably go over to District
Court. Paternity cases, he said,
would go to the Domestic Rela-
tions Branch of the Municipal
Court.
If that branch did not at
present have Jurisdiction over
paternity cases, then Congress
would have to make whatever
changes necessary" so that it
would.

The judge pointed out in

back to 1910, although many
of the other charges had later
been dropped. The jud G e

arrested by police after a GUS
toner complained his car had
been sold on December 8.
The customer, Robert ]. Mil
Ter of 1907 Eighteenth street

fraud squad that he had taken
his car to the Auto Repair City.
which Fentress operated at

at the repair shop, he said he

returned to the repair shop on
December 16 with a $500 check,
according to police, he was told
the car would not be ready for
another day or two.

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. PA leg
islative study commission today
is expected to recommend es-
tablishment of branch colleges
Of the University of Maryland
over the State.
The study group, appointed
by the Governor at the request
of the General Assembly, also
is expected to recommend that
the University of Maryland take
over three State teacher COL
leges. Teachers colleges are
now under the Jurisdiction of
the State Department of Edu-
cation.
Edwin Warfield III, chair
man of the study group, con-
flrmed that the report will rec
ommend esta Bills h ment of
branch colleges.
The main purpose of the
study was to recommend
whether university operations
should be concentrated at Col
lege Park or whether branch
colleges should be established
over the State.
Reasons for establishment of
branch colleges are limitation
of land at College Park, a de-
sire to bring colleges closer to
the students, to prevent the
College Park establishment
from becoming too big in terms
of enrolment, and to cut down
costs of construction.

Municipal Court officials take
issue with a proposal by Rep
resentative Davis, Democrat of
Georgia, to shift adult cases to
their court from Juvenile Court
They disagree with Mr.. Davis
contention. based on statistics
developed by his staff, that
Municipal Court could handle
the extra cases because the
case load there has dropped
sharply in the last few years.
"Our case load is just as
heavy as it's ever BEEN" Chief
Judge John Lewis Smith, jr.,
said in an interview.
The adult cases in Juvenile
Court-which numbered be-
tween 1000 and 5000 last year
involve mainly paternity and
non-support questions.
Mr.. DAVIS, chairman OF the
House District subcommittee
has asked his staff aides to
draft legislation authorizing
the transfer as an amendment
to the Senate version of the
Juvenile Court bill.
The Senate bill, passed dur
ing the last session of Congress,
calls for the creation of two
additional judgeships in the
court. The House version has
not yet been reported out of
Mr.. Davis subcommittee.
According to the most recent
annual report of Municipal
Court. there we're 6.3 per cent
less cases filed in 1859 than
in 1858.

Municipal Court Assoi|s Davis Bid
To Shift Cases From Youth Branch

Judge Smith said, however,
that the only letup in the case
load last year occurred in the
Civil Division.
Because of the increased cost
from so cents to $2-of filing
claims in the Landlord and
Tenant Court, cases there de-
creased by nearly 9 per cent.
But, Judge Smith pointed
out, these cases involve sum-
mary proceedings that take up
only a few minutes of court
time. One judge sitting in the
Landlord and Tenant Court can
get rid of as many as 70t cases
in a day.
Cases also decreased by over
II per cent because of the new
garnishment law passed by
Congress last year, Judge Smith
continued.
But these cases don't take
court time because they merely
involve filing a claim in the
clerks Office.
Walter F. Bramhall, chief
clerk, Municipal Court, said
that cases are really running
heavier in court now because
they're lasting longer" Many
of them are jury trials, he said.
And many more cases, he
said, are being certified to
Municipal Court from the Dis
trict Court.
For example, Mr.. Bramhall
said, the District Court turned
over so cases in 1856. The
following year they numbered
1870; in 1858. 556, and last year, ,
319.

OrAcquittoI
By CARL IRVING
Star Stan Writer

A District law which sends
persons acquitted of crime on
insanity grounds to a mental
hospital. is unconstitutional,
the American Civil Liberties
Union charged yesterday.
Under a 1855 amendment
passed by Congress, persons
found not guilty by reason of
insanity must be sent to a
mental hospital. They are
forced to remain there until
psychiatrists and a Judge find
they are eligible for at least a
conditional release and are no
longer dangerous to themselves
or others.
The ACLU suggested Con-
gresS revise the law so that
acquitted defendants would be
sent automatically to District
General Hospital for tests tc
see whether they are still men,
tally i'll.
The unions brief was filed in
the case of Donald Ragsdale OF
the 4100 block of Gait place
NE. who was acquitted of a
Highs store holdup in April
1857, by reason of insanity.
He was committed to St
Elizabeths after the verdict. He
escaped in November, 1858, and
went to work as a trash collec-
tor for the city of Hyattsville
A warrant was issued for his
arrest and he was returned to
the hospital 10 months later.
Ragsdale failed to gain his
release after hearing last
October in District Court. His
appeal is now pending before
the United States Court OF
Appeals.

Rambler
-. RecuIIs Thrill
Of Knowing 1t First
By GEORGE KENNEDY


Strangely enough news
paper work seems to be at
tractive even in this latter
day-long after its principal
thrill has been diluted.
The thrill is and was
the personal satisfaction of
knowing something before
hand.
TV and radio have almost
ended that.
Still youth crowds the en-
ployment Offices of newspa-
pers, although the public
frequently knows what has
happened before the copy
boy has been able to put the
telegraph dispatch on the
editors desk.
The TV viewer sees the
winning of the Slalom event
at Squaw Valley the ex-
ploSion of a wobbly missile
above the launching pad at
Cape Canaveral the cast
ing of the delegate vote at
a national convention that
determines the party's nomi-
nation for the presidency.
To know it first, that feel
ing of superiority as tenn
porary and fleeting as it is
unworthy-a thrill never
theleSS.
That thrill was not infre-
quent before electronic as
opposed to telegraphic COM
municationS took over.
Those inside the newspaper
building we're in the know
in advance of the thousands
who flocked downtown to
follow the score of a World
Series or check on the re-
turns of a national election.
How that copy boy must
have felt whose luck it was
to bring the word to the
scoreboard high above the
milling throng, just that
inch of ticker tape that told
that Goose Goslin of the
Senators had made another
home run in the World Sc
rieS of 1925.

BOY might accept the edi-

He would always remember

little children to come unto

Today copy boys are 25
years old or more. They read
Thomas Mann or Marcel
ProuSt-no, that was years
ago-Kierkegaard or Sartre'
What are they waiting
for? Certainly not for the
stentorian call of copy"
that once sent them run
ming to the rewrite mans
typewriter and back, still
running, to the city desk.
They wouldn't hear the
call of copy" today. The
acoustic tile in the ceiling
absorbs all that. The re-
write man at the typewriter
knows he can get a copy boy
by using the telephone.
That hazards delay. The
line may be busy Instead he
rips the paper out of his
typewriter and carries it to
the desk.
