RICHMOND, Va, Sept. 80
(AP>. "A legislative hearing
which so far has produced
more witnesses than informa-
ton resumed behind closed
doors here today amid an at
mosphere of >interracial bitter
ness.
Three Norfolk Negro attor-
neys, who were questioned by
the lawmakers yesterday. an
nounced Immediately there
after that they would seek
Federal court contempt action
against the State Committee on
OffenseS Against the Admin
istration of Justice.
On the other hand, the CON-
mittee announced it was con-
sidering seeking similar State
court action against two other
Negroes who answered sub
poenas but declined to reply to
questions concerning their
racial activities.
These two are the Rev. Cur
It's w. Harris, president of the
Hopewell Improvement Asso-
citation, and David E. Gunter,
who heads a similar association
in Petersburg.
Accounts of the meeting.
which was closed to the pub
lie, were given by the three
Norfolk lawyers-Leonard w.
Holt, jr.; E. A. Dawley and Jo-
seph A. Jordan, jr., They said
the committee turned down
their request that newsmen be
admitted.
The three said they will ask
United States District Judge
Walter E. Hoffman in Norfolk
to direct the committee to show
cause why it shouldn't be held
al NOLlOCLlPG.
Mr.. Dawley explained that
he and his colleagues took the
position that if their client,
the Rev. Mr.. Harris. was ques-
toned the committee in eff
feet would be harassing the
attorneys in direct violation of
an injunction which Judge
Hoffman issued Thursday.
Sworn in under protest, the
minister invoked the Fifth
Amendment when asked his
name.
The Norfolk lawyers told re-
porters that the counsel for the
committee, William H. King,
said the Fifth Amendment has
no applications to the proceed
ingS of any committee of the
Virginia General Assembly.
However, Mr.. Holt claimed
the amendment "is the only ef-
fective way left in America tt

said he would make a deci-
sion within two weeks.

D. c. Doctor to Initiate
Saigon Medical Work

The big effort, he said, is to
train native doctors in ortho-
pedic surgery, using the facili-
ties they already have there.
One problem with some foreign
doctors coming to the United
States to train is that they get
used to our equipment and IA
cilities and don't want to go
back home. he said.
DR.. Feffer will spend much
of his time in organizational
work, setting up clinics and
preparing the way for others.
When he leaves, there will al
ways be two orthopedic sur
geons in Saigon for the next
two years.
Mrs. Feffer will set up an Of
flee in their hotel. She will be
secretary, record keeper and
general office girl. They are
leaving their three children,
David, IL; Doris, II, and Dale,
8, here with relatives.
With the real work ahead of
them, the Feffers already have
spent months absorbing knowl-
edge about Saigon. They have
tried studying the language of
the people with tape recorders
but still haven't been able to
master speaking it. They have
started reading it already.
Already various people in the
Washington area from Saigon
have heard about the Medico
project there. A number of
them have contacted DR.. Feffer
to ask him to see and help
relatives back home. He plans
to do just that.
Plan Other Projects
The orthopedic surgeons have
taken the lead in Medico prof.
ects. With the two main prof.
ects underway. they already
are planning on similar efforts
in South America and Africa
for February and May of next
year.
During the past two years
IA orthopedic surgeons from
the United States have donated
a months time and expenses
to such projects, or have signed
up to do this.
With thousands, even mil
lions of cripples throughout
vast areas of the world, there
is much work for orthopedic
surgery. And these doctors,
many of whom are from the
Washington area, know that
for North American medicine
to remain what it is, they must
share it.

Todoro Appeal
From Dope Case
Conviction Set

Attorneys for Vincent ]. To
daro will get a chance to pre-
sent to Fairfax County Circuit
Court their reasons why To-
daro should be released from
the Virginia State PenitentiarJ
in Richmond.
Todaro, AT, of Herndon was
sentenced in 1858 to serve IL
years in prison on a narcotics
charge. But yesterday, Circuit
Court Judge Paul E. Brown set
November 10 for a hearing or
Todaro's petition for a writ Of
habeus corpus.
If the writ, which is being
opposed by the Commonwealth's
Attorney and the States At
torney Generals offices, is
granted, Todaro would be freed
from prison.
Todaro, along with his wife
and another man, was arrested
January %, 1858 in a raid in
which police said they seized
more than 100000 worth OF
opium.
Todaro and the other man
George Mobile, so, of New York
were given maximum prison
sentences of 10 years. Charges
against Todaro's wife, Helen
were dropped.
Todaro's attorney, Jack B
Stevens, contends in legal pa
pers that the charges against
Todaro grew out of one contin-
uous act and so he should have
been given only one maximum
sentence of five years rather
than two to run consecutively
The writ was filed against w
K. Cunningham. jr., superin-
tendent of the Virginia State
Penitentiary at Richmond.

grand jury indicted Kent on
two rapes, three robberies and
three housebreakings.
Mr.. Speiser's protest was
made September 13 and Judge
Ketcham's reply came Septem-
Der %. Copies went to Walter
N. Tobriner, president of the
District Board of Commission
ers. They were made public
yesterday.
Mr.. Speiser said Kent's civil
rights, were violated by extern
sive police interrogation with
out parents or counsel and that
his confinement in the Receiv-
ing Home did not follow exist
ing laws.
Claiming that the courts
authority begins when a juve-
nile Is arrested, Mr.. SpeiSer
asked Judge Ketcham to set up
definite rules for police treat
ment of juveniles.
In his reply, Judge Ketcham
said such rules would have to
come from the Commissioners
and expressed his readiness to
consult with them and Mr..
Speiser.
Arraignment Postponed
He said Mr.. Speiser's inter-
pretation of juvenile procedures
is at odds with existing prac-
tice and added that District
Court would decide whether the
youths rights had been violated.
Kent's arraignment at Dis
trict Court had been scheduled
for yesterday. but his attorney,
Richard Arens, had it post
poned until next Friday, saying
there is a Significant question"
whether Kent Is competent to
plead on the charges.

Kent's waiver from Juvenile

cided against that alignment.
He said the primary considera-
ton against the Nineteenth

ity and greater number of
homes that would have to be
taken.
Mr.. Aitken also recommended
that a freeway be built along
Mount Olivet road and M street
NE, with connections to the
Northeast Freeway and the
north leg of the inner loop to
be located in the vicinity Of
Florida avenue.
This freeway. suggested in
place of a spur of the north

proposed parkway.
Past Stadium
The parkway would extend
from this freeway, at M street
NE, south on the Burnham
Barrier along the Anacostia
River, past the stadium and
finally connect with NJ street

Ultimately, Mr.. Aiken said,
there may be a new Anacostia
River bridge to carry the new
freeway across the river at M
street NE. tc tie in with the
long : proposed intermediate
loop.
A decision on the recon-
mended route for the freeways
probably will be made by the
Commissioners within the next

Site Offered
Fairfax County has offered a
1O-acre site for the proposed

economical operation of the

would relieve the population
