Retired Jurist
Is Held Entitled
To Sit on Bench
By PHIL THOMAS
Star Staff Writer

The United States Court of
Appeals today supported the
assignment of a judge from the
United States Court of Customs
and Patents Appeals to be a
District Court trial judge.
This position was taken by
the Court in a brief opinion
handed down only two days
after eight of the nine appel
late court judges heard lengthy
arguments in which the assign
ment of Judge Joseph R. Jack
son, a retired Customs Court
jurist, was attacked by attor-
neys for Benny Lurk, who was
seeking to reverse his District
Court conviction for robbery.
Limit Argued
Turks lawyers contended-
that Judge Jackson could not
properly sit as a District Court
trial judge because he had ORR
ginally been appointed to a
Legislative" court created by
Congress to carry out a limited
function.
However, the appellate court
judges, without dissent, said
Judge Jackson was qualified
to sit" in the District Court
through authority of the COM
plete power granted Congress
over the District of Columbia
and its courts.
The opinion said that, at the
time Judge Jackson was ap-
pointed to the Customs Court
in 1887, there was on the statute
books law specifically provid-
ing that judges of the Customs
Court could be assigned for
service" in the District Court
and the appellate court here.
Services Available
The Congress, in adopting
this law (Which still applieS),
must have meant the exercise
of every type of jurisdiction
possessed by the court" today's
opinion said. But more than
this, the appellate court judges
added that "at all relevant
times Congress has specifically
made available the services OF
the judges Of the Court of
Customs and Patent Appeals to
meet the needs" of the District
Court here.
1--WE think there can be mol
doubt of the (constitutionaD
power Of Congress to do so, in
view of the broad sweep Of its
Legislative authority over the
Federal District" the opinion
concluded.
If the appellate court had not
approved this step, it is possible
that the many trials over which
Judge Jackson has presided
since his assignment to the Dis
trict Court could have resulted
in reversals of convictions re-
sulting from those trials.

County Ends Double Shifts

September and saw come to
fl'uition-which would stretch
from West Hyattsville to his Of
fices at Upper Marlboro.
One of his favorites, how
ever, he is still in the process of
evaluating. 1t involves a new,
complete and thorough study
Of the systems curriculum.
The groups preliminary find
ings already have produced a
number of curriculum guides
Mr.. Schmidt says. Among other
things, they indicate 4 need on
the part of curriculum plan-
ners to look on reading as "a
basic SKILL" much as they did
some years ago, the Superin-
tendent reports.
Trend to Three-Rs
There, incidentally, is an ex-
ample of the Nationwide
trend felt this year toward re-
emphasizing the Importance OF
the basic subjects, or three-Rs.
The classic example, referred
to in an earlier installment of
this series, is District School
Supt. Carl F. HanSen's Amidon
Plan.
Producing more tangible evi-
dence of curriculum upgrading
in Prince Georges this year
was a special mathematics
seminar which brought to-
gether outstanding students at
the junior and senior high lev
els.
AS the seminar progressed
and their success became ap-
parent, Prince Georges installed
a similar program in social
studies.
Closed Circuit TV
For the first time, Prince
Georges this year also con-
Quoted a pilot program in
closed circuit television.
Mr.. Schmidt, an advocate of
educational televiSion, says only
one school was involved-Buck
Lodge Junior High. He con-
siderS the effort twas a success
full one"
In accordance with plans
which Mr.. Schmidt announced
last fall, Prince Georges in
1960-61 engaged in a number of
programs designed to aid the
county's slower students.
Among them was a reading
clinic set up at a special edu-
cation center in Capitol Heights
where students were tsated and,
if necessary, a therapy program
worked out. In another case,
two corrective reading pro-
grams were offered at two
schools at the fourth grade
levels. About 100 YOUNGSTERS
were involved.
Elements Missing
At an even lower level, Prince
Georges conducted what it calls
IA Junior primary program. The
program places in special classes
a number of youngsters who
are old enough to enter first
grade but are not prepared
"academically" to enter.
Not the least of the Prince
Georges achievements for 1861
81 was approval of a new
teacher salary schedule which
next fall will hike the scale for
holders of bachelors degrees to
a range of $4,000 to $1,000.
Holders of masters degrees
will get from $4,000 to $1,000.
The plan, for the first time,
also gives consideration to all
teachers who have 80 hours of
credit beyond their master
andlor doctorate degrees, Mr..
Schmidt reports.

Whatever happened to Roch-
ellie HudSon?"
Today it is Ann Corio, of all
people. who is demonstrating
that the years go by. 1t may
seem only yesterday, but it was
in the '30S and '40s that Miss
Corio was winning her fame
A beauteous lass with virtually
flawlesS face and figure, Ann
was one of the leading lumin-
aries of burlesque, a branch OF
the performing arts she was
destined to outlive. 1t was nice
to have burlesque around,
though. as long as Ann was
around with it.
The last time Miss Corio's
name popped up around here
was when her marriage to Bob
Williams was collapsing. Mr..
Williams was known to vaude-
vile enthusiasts here and else
where as the front half of the
man-dog entertainment team
known as Bob Williams and
Red Dust. According to reports
at the time, Miss Corio and Mr.
Williams were having nc
trouble over the property set
tlement, but they did have one
large conflict. Each one of
them was demanding custody
of Red Dust.
Miss Corio now is back in the
news, preparing to launch a
new phase of her career, &C
cording to Hollywood Colum-
mist Harold Heffernan. What
started her off in this new di-
rection was a part in a Syndi-
Gated telefilm series, The
Blue Angels" She played "a
middle-aged woman facing
death after q serious opera

when school starts. you may

There are several things a
tall girl can do to mini
mize her height. One of the
most important things for
her to remember is to STAND
UP STRAIGHT. Good pos
ture is extremely important.
Some tall girls make the
mistake of trying to appear
shorter by slouching. This
only spoils ones appearance
and figure. The chest caves
in, the stomach sticks out
and the shoulders hump. It
makes a person look awk-
ward, and her clothing hang
like sacks.
A tall girl should wear
horizontal stripes, boxy jack
cts, wide belts, full skirts
and two-piece outfits of con-
trasting colors. She should
avoid large plaids, vertical
stripes. long. unbroken lines
and awkward-length hem
, lines-either too long or too
short.
When you are older, I be-
lieve you will be glad you
are tall. Don't forget that
some of the lovely fashion
models are taller than you

their height.
