Editorials?

I agree with J. Jones sug-
geStion (June 5 TEEN that
TEEN contain an editorial.
I also appreciate the timidity
of the editors with respect
to preaching" A possible
solution would be to have
the editorials contributed by
the editors of our own high
school newspapers.
AS a reader of the Suitland
High School Echo, I can
vouch for the maturity of its
editorial comment. Other
high school papers, I assume,
also have good editorials.
The responsibility for the
editorial could be rotated
among interested schools.
This system should also
gain greater respect for teen
ayers from adults.

In roller derbies, no mat

game where girls compete on
the same basis.

is exciting every minute. AS

them by Sen. Northrop, after
the arrest on July II. And it
was mainly on the first speci-
men" point that the defense
based-and won-its case.
DR.. Fisher, who said he was
"a principal proponent of, the
law" said repeatedly that it was
necessary for police to take two
samples in order to get an ac-
curate reading.
This, he explained, is in order
for a controlled sample to be
taken from the bladder. In the
Devereux case, he noted, the
defendant had admitted to hav-
ing nine or 10 drinks between
z pm. and 2 am, but had said
that he had not urinated for
nearly 10 hours.
This long time period, coupled
with the large dinner that Dew
ereux had eaten. tended to make
the first sample an unreliable
one, DR.. Fisher argued. He
agreed, as did Judge Christen-
sen before declaring Devereux
not guilty on the drunk driving
charge that sometime during
the night the defendant was
under the influence.
But both DIR. Fisher and the
Judge said it was impossible to
say definitely that Devereux
was drunk at the time he was
driving.
The state, represented by As
sistant States Attorney James
S. McAuliffe, jr., had claimed
that Devereux must have had

ing the night in order to have
as much alcohol left in his
urine as he did.
Judge Christensen also told
the defendant that he was TAX

viously good driving record into
consideration in not convicting
him.

er, chief medical examiner for
Maryland.
DR.. Fisher, a key witness for
the defense, took strong excep-
ton to County police practice
of sometimes sending-as they
did in the Devereux case-so-
called "first samples" to the Ia
boratory for analysis. He con-
tended that a long accumulation
of alcohol in the bladder was
not indicative of the amount of
alcohol in the defendants blood
and, hence, his brain. Only a
Second" specimen-after the
defendant has initially voided
his bladder-is an indication of
the defendants degree of drunk
enness, he argued.
This was countered, however,
by testimony from a witness for
the State, DR.. Oscar B. Hunter,
jr.. a pathologist who conduct
ed the test on Devereux's speci-
men.
DIR. Hunter testified that Sec
ond specimen is more accurate
but that a first sample is a
good indication" as to what is
going on in the blood stream.
He denied, however, that the
difference between the amount
of alcohol in the bladder and
the amount in the blood stream
would be greater than .05 per
cent.
Police department records
show that almost one.haIf Of
the drunk driving defendants
who submitted to samples since
the program started were able
to give only first" specimens.
And all OF those, a police depart
ment spokesman said, have been
convicted.
The Devereux case, according
ly, is unique one in the expert
ence the county has had to date
with the chemical testing pro-
gram.
Judge Einar B. Christensen,
of Peoples Court found Dever-
eux, of 1905 Bradley la, inno-
cent after hearing approximate
ly eight hours of testimony. He
convicted the realtor of a charge
of driving on the wrong side of
a white line and fined him SIS.
Christensen said he acquitted
Devereux Of the serious charge
because of conflicts in the testi-
mony of one Of the arresting Of
ficers, d. L. Burke. Testimony
of both DIR. Fisher and Judge
Pugh also influenced his deci-
sion, he said.
