schools tuition-free even if
their parents or legal guardian

can satisfy school officials that
they came here for reasons
other than simply attending
school, and provided they are
supported by the adults with
whom they live.
The House-passed bill. spon-
sored by Representative Broy-
hill, Republican of Virginia,
and approved by the House
District Committee, would lin

The District Bar Association
is investigating two rulings
against defendants by District
Court Judge Joseph r. Jack
son, it was learned today.
The cases involve the judges
dismissal of a jury after he
roundly criticized it for bring
ing in a not guilty verdict and
a case in which he gave two
yout his maximum sentences
without permitting them to
make any statements.
The association directors
have referred the matter to
committe for study, it was re-
liably learned. Bar President
Frederick A. Ballard said the
directors had instructed him
not to make any comment.
Jury Upbraided
Last September, a jury ac-
quilted a man on a charge of
participating in a $4,000 rob-
berry. Obviously disturbed by
the verdict, Judge Jackson i'm
piled it was unintelligent and
lacking in judgment. He told
the jurors he was dismissing
them before their tour of duty
was up.
On January Is, Judge Jack
son sentenced a 19 and a 81
year old defendant to 5 to Is
years each for participating in
a yoke robbery that sent the
victim to the hospital. The
judge pronounced sentence in

Tested was a 3-year-old girl who
lives in the same block, accord
ing to Detective John Wildman
of the 9th precinct.
The 3-year-old is under treat
ment at District General Hos

Apparently, Williams h a d

The
Rambler
Receives
An Announcement
By JOHN McKELWAY
Dear Area Metro Driver:


Voteless Motors, after years
OF research in automotive
design and engineering, has
produced a car especially for
you, the WaShington-area
ruSh-hour motorist.
We have selected a few dis
tinguished individuals to take
part in a special, preview
showing of our automotive
masterpiece to be held short
ly in the Rotunda of the
Capitol.
That's why we are writing
you, Area Metro Driver. We
want you to come in and see
the new, 1860 Ell Captain
Hornblower and all its very
big features. There's nothing
like a Hornblo,Der.
Unlike so many of the
larger automobile manufac-
turerS who have either short
ened or heightened their all
purpose, roomier models,
Voteless Motors has hit upon
a design we think is indeed
revolutionary. We have
manufactured a thinner,
softer car to be used only in
rush hours. Our engineers
have also placed the horn in
the rear, instead of the front.
But let us tell you a few
things about the go Horn
blower.
Evening star., 1960-02-08

BUT ALL OF US DOWN
HERE at Voteless Motors are
happieSt about the radical
change-offered only on the
Hornblower-in the place.
ment of its horn.
We have startled the entire
industry by removing the
horn from underneath the
hood in the front of the car
and have placed it, instead,
inside the rear trunk on the
Hornblower. But that's not
all, Area Metro Driver.
The horn on the 1860 Ell
Captain Hornblower was
chosen after psychological
studies by our research de-
partment.
We found that most motor
lists wanted a horn not for
warning purposes, but one
which would enable them to
blow back.
OF course, our research
department found, the diff
f1culty was that in trying to
blow back at an irritating
horn blower urging you on
you often blew ahead-or in
the wrong direction-and all
because your horn had been
placed in the front of the
car.
Well, Voteless Motors has
Installed a special horn
"The Retort"- the trunk
of the 80 Hornblower. If
during the rush hour, some
idiot begins urging you ahead
with his horn, you just touch
a pushbutton on your new
80 Hornblower. The rear
trunk opens majestically,
The Retort moves upward
and outward on a set of gears
and then let's go at the car
in back with a really big, new
noise. You can hear it it it's
a Hornblower.
At a slightly higher cost,
optional on all models, The
Retort will sound and also
direct a stream of water at
the car Immediately to the
rear.
This is your car, Area
Metro Driver. We think you
can use it. We think other
cars will stay away from you
in ruSh-hour traffic, or at
least stop blowing at you.
Cost?
See you in the Rotunda =.

said, do not like laws or regula-
tlonS relating to their business
unless they become a necessity.
Under the present circum-
stances here, he said, his as
sociation believes the District
should join the 80 or more
States that now have auto f.
nancing laws and regulations.
Mr.. Murphy listed the f.
nance companies that are
members of the Automotive
Trade Association and indorse
the legislation.
The subcommittee also heard
from Attorney William R. Lich-
tenberg, who said he repre-
sented seven other finance
companies.
The attorney said his clients
"by and large, think this is
Salutory." But, he protested the
bonding provisions of the bill.
He argued that $4,000 was too
high maximum bond to re-
quire and that doubling the
bond in case of suits was too
much authority to give the
Commissioners.
Few Tie-ups Seen
Representative Loser, DEM
ocrat of Tennessee, who pre-
sided at the hearing asked Mr..
Lichtenberg if it were not true
that certain finance companies
controlled certain auto dealer
ships.
The witness replied that there
are some instances of this but
they are rare.
/ Daniel Partridge III brought
the District Bar Association S
Endorsement of the measure but
favored raising the bond to
$4,000.
When he was asked to COM
ment on Mr.. Lichtenberg'S op-
position to doubling the bond
after suits are brought, he re-
piled that that was needed. He
said he knew of situations
where the claims brought by
victims exceeded the bond.
Another witness, Mrs. Isabel
c. Moore, proposed that control
of car repair should be included
in the legislation.

The AAA spokesman was one

up its hearings on legislation
to control auto finance agencies
In the District.
Spokesman for the District
Bar Association and the Auto
motive Trade Association Ma
tional Capital Area joined the
AAA in urging passage of the
measure to give more protec-
tion to the car-buying public.
Possibilities Cited
Mr.. Netherton. inpresenting
a statement prepared by Wash
ington 1. Cleveland, secretary
of the District Division, AAA,
said the purchase of a car is a
transaction which presents nu-
lmerous possibilities for an un-
scrupulous car dealer or sales
man, working with an unScru-
pulous sales finance agency, to
take advantage of a car pur-
chaser.
The bill under consideration
not only fixes maximum finance
charges but authorizes the
Commissioners to require bonds
and to write regulations neces-
sary to outlaw unscrupulous
practices.
The AAA statement urged
Congress to review the action
the Commissioners take under
the broad authority of the bill
ito assure that the protection
which they promise is being
realized.
Concern Is Voiced
Maurice j. Murphy, executive
vice president of the Automo-
tive Trade Association, said his
association had noticed with
alarm the increase in unscrup-
ulouS practices by a few car
dealers in the District and has
spent thousands of dollars try
ing to clean up misleading ad-
vertising.

and refused to ask for the Gus

men before hearing any last
pleas for mercy from the de-
PENDANTS or their attorneys.
Two weeks later, Judge Jack
son resentenced both men after
the prosecutor noted that the
U. S. Court of ppeals probably
would reverse the case if the
defendants were not PERMITTED
to make their statements before
sentencing. The judge gave
each the same sentence as be-
fore.
Reputation for Toughness
Judge Jackson, 78, is retired
from the bench of the Court
of Customs and Patent Appeals.
He has been sitting by designa-
ton in District Court here for
about two and a half years. He
has a reputation as a tough"
Judge with defendants.
He was elected county at
torney in Butte, Mont, before
he became a State District
Judge. He moved to New York
in 1925, becoming personal
counsel for John Ringling OF
circus fame.
He became assistant q. S
Attorney general in the Justice
Departments customs division
in 1884. In 1887 he was appoint
