The Supreme Court in 1854
sustained the constitutionality
of the act which empowers the

who brought the suit argued
it was unconstitutional to take

better community, as opposed

King, one of the Districts
police dogs, has gotten a real
taste of a policeman's life this
week. Back on the street after
appearing before a grand jury
earlier in the week, he today
stood accused of brutality--a
nip On the leg-by a citizen
who has been charged by police
with disorderly conduct and
carrying a dangerous weapon.
This is what happened in
the brush with a citizen, ac-
cording to Lieut.. Albert G.
Fielder of the thirteenth
precinct.
Pvt. Roy Il. Ross and King
were cruising in the 1900 block
of Fourteenth street NV.
shortly after midnight with
Pvt. Oscar Spearman of the
thirteenth precinct. They saw
a crowd gathered on the side
walk and investigated. The
dog helped disperse the group
and the police found a man
had been cut in a fracas.
But after their investigation
was completed, police were ap-
preached by George Fearing
ton of the 100 block of U
street NV, who said the dog
had grabbed him. The police
were unaware the dog had done
anything. There was some
argument about the matter
and the police decided to hold
the man on disorderly charges.
Then a friend of the man
was found to be carrying a 80
caliber gun which, he said,
Harrington had just handed
to him. Police then placed the
weapon charge against Fear
rington and he was taken to
District General Hospital for
treatment of the cut on the leg.

Boy, 5, Killed by Auto;
Observation-Disclosures

A mail clerk accused of strik-
ing and killing a 5-year-old
boy was captured about half
mile from the scene yesterday
after a high-speed chase by
three other motorists.
One of the motorists crashed
his car in an attempt to stop
the fleeing driver.
The car, travelling As miles
an hour in a 25-mile zone, ac-
cording to police, struck Michael
Wheeler of 3941 c street Sc. in
front of 312 Ridge road Sc.
Police said the child ran
across the street with some
companions on his way to a
nearby recreation center.
Michael was hurled more
than 100 feet by the impact.
He died of a fractured skull
minutes later in the arms of a
passing truck driver, Les Sny-
der, 33. a route agent for the
Carroll Laundry, who stopped
to give aid. Michael was pro-
nounced dead on arrival at
District General Hospital.
The car was pursued from
the scene by William v. Fuller,

plan.
Mr.. Thompson noted that
whenever, there is a project
proposed in Washington there
is "nit-picking from this quar-
ter and nit-picking from that
quarter" He said there is
usually aroused "a hornets
nest of opposition"
He suggested that the oppo-
Sition voiced by Ralph .,Kaul.
Arlington board member, has
been made because Mr.. Kaul
doesn't want his particular
pet view of Washington de-
stroyed, and has persuaded
other board members to oppose
the shrine" Mr.. Kaul's home
overlooks the tract where the
shrine would be erected.
Legislation is now pending in
Congress to appropriate $12
million in public funds towards
the shrine, which would be
erected on. the Nevius' tract
south of the Two Jima Memo
rial, near Arlington Cemetery.
The new design of the shrine
was unveiled at the conference
by Mr.. Gugler. 1t is a rectangu-
lar, open-topped, granite and
marble structure larger than a
football field.
The monument will be 327
feet 6 inches long and 204 feet
s inches wide, with walls 6S
feet high.
Bas reliefs and inscriptions
on the walls will depict mile
stones in American history and
political philosophy.
The monument will symbol
ize five freedoms of American
democracy - speech, religion
press, assembly and petition.
He estimated it would take
about five years to complete
the project. No specific start
ing date has been set.
President Eisenhower, in a
message to Congress May l6,
said the monument would be
"a memorial to the principles
and ideals upon which oul
Government is based"
The National Monument
Commission, created by Con-
gress in 1854 to obtain plans
for the structure, has recon-
mended that $12 million OF
the cost be provided by Federal
appropriation and the othel
half by public contributions.
A representative OF the ByolI
firm explained that / it was
handling the publicity of the
new promotion campaign as
favor to Don Belding, a men,
ber of the monument colnmls-
sion established by Congress.
About two weeks ago the
Arlington County Board heard
nearly a dozen citizen group
representatives denounced the
freedom shrine proposals. The
board then unanimously re-
affirmed its disapproval. Vet
erans organization also blasted
the proposal.

The
Rambler
Confesses
His Delinquency
By GEORGE KENNEDY

The Rambler cannot un-
derstand how juveniles can
be delinquent in this era of
healthy outdoor sports, little
league baseball, tennis and
golf.
He was a delinquent in his
day.
He shot pool on beautiful
sunny afternoons like yes
terday.
If we are succeeding in
anything about the upbring-
ing of the coming genera
ton, it is this:
They are not going to
pool rooms.

bler-he couldn't refuse-at-
tended a small gathering Of
do-gooderS in Alexandria.

program" said the lady
chairman, Ito keep our high
school boys out of King street

The Rambler had that in
mind the next time he drove
the length of King street.
There are not enough pool
rooms and pool tables to en-
able l per cent of the male
pupils of Alexandria high
schools to play at one time.
Nothing succeeds like sue

Now the Rambler'S juve-
nile fascination with pool
was the same as poker. Both

THIS PLAYING POOL was
just a waste of time. It
neither helped us nor hurt
us. None became professional
pool players, nor did we go
to jail.
And this idea that healthy
outdoor sports or playing
pool has much to do with
behavior is a lot of nom
sense. It's an American
heresy.
Among the influences that
shape our ends there is one
that is more important than
sport, education or law and
that is religion.
John Masefield expressed
this well in a narrative poem,
Inc Everlasting Mercy"
The narrator leads a
healthy out of door life,
poaching and fighting on the
turf according to the London
Prize Ring rules. He wins a
fight this night and his
hackers take him to the tav-
ern and get him good and
drunk. 1t ends up with an
early-morning foot race in
the buff. He is confronted
by the parson and he admits
the parson "had it best"
The parson says:
TO get the Uhole World out
of bed
And mashed and dressed
and toarmed and fed,
To tDork and back to bed
again,
BelieUe me, Saul, costs
1Oorlds of pain.
Then, as Whether true or
sham,

Whose priest ! am;

Lawyers assigned to such
cases by a legal aid agency, to
be created by the bill, would
be paid fees from congressional
appropriations of $4,000 for

The Senate com mittee
amended a House version, al

the agency director must be a

that, after 1861, money "neces-
sary to carry out the purposes
of the act" rather than a
straight $4,000, be appro-
priated.
Higher Permit Fees
Also reported were bills:
To raise from 81 to 50 fees
charged for driving learners
permits. The money would be
used to expand the Districts
traffic safety program.
To extend from two to three
years the period allowed for
filing claims for refunds of
overpaid inheritance and State

To exempt from District in
come taxes employees of inter-

To free the District govern

To raise from $50 to $3.50 the
amount of claims which can
be brought in Municipal Court

To increase from 10 to 80
days maximum prison terms

To change District insurance

the history of the industry

were not a big-league town.
1t was the local pool sharks
who won our greatest ad-
miration. We initiated the
way they chalked their cues,

What precision! What
deftness of touch! They
would play the first shot safe,
