He was sentenced to life i'm
prisonment late yesterday with
dramatic swiftneSS by Federal
Judge RoSZel C. Thomson on
both counts of an indictment
accusing him of kidnapping Mrs,
Mildred Jaskson, 27, of Apple
Grove, Va. and her daughter
Susan Anne, 5.
Delay Expected
The sentencing came at AIS
pm. and was unexpected in
view of the fact that defense
attorneys William J. ODonnell
and William j. Evans came to
court equipped to argue for a
new trial, a mistrial or a ver-
dict of acquittal because of a
cause celebre.
1t seemed to observers that
sentencing would be delayed
due to defense motions based
on the fact that television sta
ton WBAL in Baltimore had
persuaded nine of the IL men
on the jury that convicted Rees
to re-enact their deliberations
on a TV show.
Judge Thomson, obviously
nettled because the jurors had
re-created their deliberations
for a TV audience the night be-
fore sentencing originally was
scheduled to take place last
month. acted quickly to quash
motions on that point.
He listened with patience to
defense arguments that the
show on March % had inter-
fered with ReeS' rights. But
then he overruled motions for
a new trial, a miStrial or a di-
rected verdict of acquittal and
refused to subpoena the jurors
or WBAL executives.
Court Not Affected
The court has carefully con-
sidered the motion" said
Judge Thomson. 1T finds moth
ing to warrant granting the
motion and no reason to SUBJ
poena the jurors. The court
was not affected by the TV
show Judge Thomson saw it at
home the night it was on the
air. in deciding on the sem

Assistant United States At

prosecuted Rees with his COL
league. H. Russell Smouse,
said tersely: 1--WE asked for
capital punishment. The Gov
ernment'S position is that this
conviction merits only one SEN
tence-life."
Mr.. Evans then took to his
feet and said: "Mr. Rees has
asked that we state to the
court that he insists on his
innocence. He realizes the sen

The
Rambler
Reviews
First Decade
By GEORGE KENNEDY

What's the matter with
the songs of the turn of the
century?"
Songs of the first decade
were superior to those OF
the '90S."
The quotes above are from
letters prompted by a piece
appearing several days ago.
The Rambler chided the
disk jockeys for playing so
many of the popular songs
of the '20S.
Why, he asked, didn't they
use some of the lively songs
of the '90s and the Sousa
marches?
Indeed he is inclined to
agree that the songs between
the turn Of the century and
the start of World War I
were superior.
Victor Herbert provided
the background music.

THE SONG HITS of the

early hits. The famous waltz

Everyone knows Every

Hoschna and Otto Harbach,
1910.
But it is no exaggeration
to say that Victor Herbert
dominated the decade. Every
composer since has reason
to be grateful. For as Sig

History of Popular Music in
America" it was Herbert
who founded the American
Society of Composers.
Authors and Publishers
(ASCAP). His suit against
Shanley's Restaurant went
to the Supreme Court and
Justice oliver Wendell
Holmes wrote the opinion
that a composers music
could not be rendered in
public without permission.
Victor Herbert wrote more
than 80 shows in less than
80 years (1894-1922). These
include THE Fortune Teller"
with the Gypsy Love Song"
Mile. Modiste" with kiss
Me Again" and 1.-THE Red
Mill" with Because You're

But all agree that his
greatest was Naughty Mari

Love With Some One" "Ital-
ian Street Song" and "Ah,
Sweet Mystery of Life"
In 1910 my parents were
in New York with their IL
year-old eldest son (me).
Mother wanted to see the
big hit of the year. Father
was a little 10th. But he
bought three tickets down
in front.
I don't know what that
makes me, but I do know
that years later, it made the
movie starring Jeanette
Macdonald and Nelson Eddy,
the more enjoyable.
So if you can't get a baby
sitter, buy the kid a ticket.
It'll cost about the same and
it may be much appreciated
in years to come.

The Durham rule. he said,
has not gained acceptance in
other jurisdictions, perhaps in
dicating "the extent to which
society remains unconvinced by
current scientific evidence and
is unwilling to risk the seeming
protection afforded by rigid
penal laws"
In addition. he said the
lack of adequate rehabilitation
centers has severely crippled
the courts in dealing with the

Lawyer Hits
JoiIing of
Alcoholics

Alcoholics who commi t
crimes should be sent to hos
pitals rather than jails, just
as the insane are here, a Wash
ington attorney said last night.
Under the Durham rule the
District courts determine
whether criminal behavior is
the result of a mental condition,
Frank S. Ketcham, attorney and
chairman of the Washington
Area Council on Alcoholism,
pointed out.
If the behavior is due to
mental conditions, he said, the
defendant is hospitalized rather
than jailed.
Evening star., 1961-04-07
Treatment Urged

According to modern medi-
cal knowledge, there is no reason
why this rule should not be held
to apply to the individual who
is an alcoholic and, as a result,
indulges in criminal behavior, :"
Mr.. Ketcham declared.
He addressed the annual
meeting of the National Council
on Alcoholism at the Shoreham
Hotel. Some $50 experts from
over the country are attending
sessions which end today.
What I am suggesting is
that if alcoholism is recognized
as a form or symptom of men
tai illness, should not the same
standards be applied to the al
coholic as to other mentally
i'll people?" he asked. Should
he not be sent to a therapeutic
institution rather than a penal
