The United States Court of
Appeals indicated yesterday
that it disapproved of the way
Municipal Court Judge Edward
A. Beard handled a preliminary
hearing in an assault case.
Three judges of the court
issued their opinion in consider
ing Washington Attorney Will
liam B. Bryant's request for a
writ of mandamus against the
judge.
They dismissed the appeal,
but went an unusual step for
ward to discuss the case.
The appellate court, showing
disagreement with Judge Beard,
issued a statement that persons
accused of crime are entitled to
prompt preliminary hearings
under Federal and Municipal
Court rules to decide whether
there is probable cause to hold
them for the grand jury.
". The fact that an ac-
cuSed is at liberty on bond does
not in itself constitute rea-
son for denying him a prompt,
preliminary hearing, or post
poning the hearing to a future
date" the court said.
The case in question in
volved a preliminary hearing
for three men accused of as
saulting a policeman. The
case came before Judge Beard
on April 7.
At that time, both Attorney
Br ant and the assistant

they were ready to proceed

TroubIe-PIogued X-l5
Sets New Speed Mark

EDWARDS AIR FORCE
BASE, Calf. April % (AP).-
A test pilot coolly describes
as lust routine" a trouble
plagued flight in the X-15
rocket plane that set a new
controlled-flight speed record
of 3,140 miles an hour.
Air Force Maj. Bob White
zoomed more than SO miles a
minute to an altitude of 103, 900
feet yesterday, thus breaking
the old record of 1905 miles
an hour he had set last
March 7.
There were tense moments
during the 11-minute flight
when the engine quit tempo
rarily and moments later when
the swept-Wing Darts pres
surized cabin sprang a leak.
Maj. White later brushed
aside the mlScueS, saying
tersely:
I'VE expect some unusual
things to show up in an ex-
perimental program.
Seconds after the X-15
dropped from its B-52 mother
plane at $4,000 feet, its rocket
engine quit. The Kills dropped
1000 feet while Mai. White
frantically tried to restart the
engine. At $1,000 feet the
rocket engines $1,000 pounds of
thrust came on at full throttle,
Slamming Maj. White back in
the cockpit seat with a force
three times that of gravity.
Over the radio came the pilot S
Unconditional: That was quite
a boost"
Maj. White pulled the Kills
into a climbing angle of 80
degrees and the rocket plane
shot like a bullet on its first
