THIS WEEK hos been getting the
darnedest mail ever since the Presi-
dental Election. About that time we
printed a little piece predicting that
the ''Looking-Class Writers of Amer
ica' would support Dick Nixon be-
cause he possessed that rare treasure,
a looking-glass name. Hold this page
upside-down In front of a mirror and
you'll find that all the words on the
page are complete gibberish except
Mr.. Nixon's name itself:

haps the simplest way of putting it is
that the average person is 'right-faced'
as we'll as righthanded. His right
eye is the dominant of the two, he
chews on the right side, and tends to
use the right side more strenuously
for facial expressions, such as smiling,
scowling. Thus the right side is more
developed in appearance and the left
side blander."

In a blistering attack on the

pared to press for action with

Two commissioners. in fact,
warned that Maryland might

They suggested the commits

many in the Negro group. He

there were no blows struck
with fists and the fight was

Starts Legal Dispute

in this question. feel that they
have been given discretion to
provide the minimum sentence
for the eight Ramblers.
They can thus be expected
to take the view that the YEA
Act, adopted relatively recent
ly, does not declare the older
Interdeterminate Sentence Act
provisions invalid when the
YEA Act is teamed up with it.
Community Protection
The minimum sentences were
provided by the judges on
grounds that these boys,
though sophisticated" young
criminals, might benefit by be-
ing committed to a specialized
YEA institution. However, the
judges apparently felt that the
nature Of their offenses re-
quired that the community
would be protected more fully,
If the youths were required to
serve at least three years in
confinement,
The effect of this action is to
leave the question of release in
the hands of the sentencing
judge, rather than leaving it UP
to Mr.. Bennett and his staff.
Mr.. Bennett said yesterday
there is little likelihood that
the youths. arrested by police
after they carried out a series of
holdups, would be released be-
fore the minimum period of
three years imposed on all Of
them by the five judges here.
Thus the dispute boils down
to a question of who decides
the release time, with both Mr..
Bennett and the judges jump
ing to assert what each side
feels is its legal prerogative.
