PAREnI PROBLEMS
How Family Can Help
Retarded School Child

Most retarded school children
are able to do many things
about the home which don't re-
quire book learning. Indeed,
they may be able to excel in
these directions. They may ac-
quire some skills which normal
or gifted children might admire.
Boost His Morale
The more ways the retarded
child can achieve at work or
play, and in doing things on
his own, the more self-regard
he feels, and the higher his
morale, as a rule, for striving
to learn from books as much as
he is able to learn.
A problem of the home with
other children is to cultivate in
them an appreciation of the
limitations of the retarded child
of this home, and also to cause
other children in the neighbour
hood to acquire a similar kindly
attitude.
Help From Others
Better still, the normal BROTH
ers and sisters, who are always
looking for small successes and
achievements in the retarded
brother or sister, can help him
Cor herr UNNECESSARILY and gain
inner strengths and values for
themselves.

Child Succeed at School, may

Answering Parents Questions
Q. Often when I'm telephone
ing, my son, three, will pound
me and shout at me to pay
attention to him.
A. Choose a time when you
will pretend to be telephoning.
Then when he's a nuisance to
you, turn him over your knee
and smack him soundly.
A few such corrective meas
ures should settle this problem
permanently.

Bad Words
Conviction

The Municipal Court Of Ap-
peals today ruled that the ut
terance of unidentified bad
words" was insufficient to con-
Stitute diSorderly conduct.
The case involved a situation
in which a 33-year-old District
woman and her 12-year-old
daughter both refused to re-
peat exactly what the allegedly
profane language was.
II can't repeat those words
They're too bad" testified Mrs
Pauline F. Schnabel of 1902
Calvert street NV. last Sep
tember in Municipal Court.
Her IL year old daughter
would only refer to the re-
marks as dirty bad words, .
the appeals court said.
Municipal Court Judge De
Witt S. Hyde convicted C. p
Heilman. ir., Al, Of the 440C
block of Chain Bridge road
Mclean, Va, and fined him
$3.50.
Mrs. Schnabel said, the ap-
peals court stated, that He'll
man pulled beside her car at q
stop light on independence
avenue S.W. last August a and
made obscene and indecent
remarks and gestures.
On appeal, Lawyer William
A. Bachrach, representing He'll
man, argued his client could
not validly be convicted OF
making obscene remarks with
out evidence of what words
were used.
The court agreed.
While we readily appreci-
ate the reluctance of a refined
woman to repeat profane and
obscene language" the appeals
court said, -. the (triaD court
could not properly find that
language was profane and in
decent without first knowing
what language was used"

Cycle Escort
Defended by
Police Chief

Assignment Of a police motor
cycle escort to the wedding OF
a socially prominent couple last
week was defended today by
Chief Robert v. Murray as
necessary to prevent traffic
Jams at the rush-hour time the
wedding was held.
Chief Murray said an inves-
tigation of a complaint by Rep
resentative Norblad, Republican
of Oregon, revealed that there
was nothing irregular about tht
assignment Of the two motor
cycle men to the wedding Of
Charles Matheson and Bonnie
Buchanan, daughter Of Wiley
Buchanan, former State De-
partment protocol chief.
A letter will be written tc
Mr.. Norblad explaining the cir
cumstances of the wedding last
Friday. Quoting a story in The
Star, Mr.. Norblad protested tC
Chief Murray that the police
men escorted the couple on the
first stage Of their honeymoon
trip as far as a motel in Alex.
andria. This has been denied
by Mr.. Buchanan and CHIEF
Murray. They said the escort
ing officers went only as fal
as the District line.
Chief Murray said he did not
authorize the use of police al
the wedding, but would have il
he had been asked. He said the
wedding took place during the
peak hour Of traffic last Friday
and police were needed both to
clear the way for the hundred:
of guests and to keep traffic
lanes clear for me-bounC
workers.

dell Holmes Morgan, disap-
peared last week after an in
veStigation of his background
was begun by the District
Courts Committee on Admis-
sions and Grievances. A war
rant for his arrest was issued
Friday. and the FBI alerted its
field offices across the coun-
try to be on the lookout for
Morgan.
The Jones case marked the
second time within two days
that a defendant who had
been represented by Morgan
has brought up the question of
the necessity for a new trial.
Monday, Charles Richey,
representing a man convicted
of robbery in the District Court,
asked the court to vacate his
clients conviction on grounds
the client had not had a real
attorney during trial because
Morgan was his lawyer.
Mr.. Moses was prepared yes
terday to argue the appeal of
the Jones woman'S conviction
on the merits, but instead in
jected the question of repreSen-
tation at trial.
AS did Mr.. Richey, Mr.. Moses
cited a 1857 Illinois Supreme
Court case. In that case the
court reversed a robbery con-
viction on grounds the defend
ant was entitled to a licensed
attorney not just an attorney
in fact.
In the Illinois case the de-
fendant had been represented
at trial by one Edward A. Sim
mons. Simmons" was later
discovered to be Morgan.
At that time, in 1855, Nor
gan had fled from Illinois to
Los Angeles. After a two-year-
search the FBI found him and
brought him back to Chicago,
where he was convicted of con-
tempt of court and sentenced
to six months in a Federal
prison in Michigan.
Assistant United States At
torney Charles T. Duncan said
the Government would not op-
pose the new trial for the Jones
woman. adding that it is felt
this question should be settled.
The Jones woman was SEN
fenced last January by Judge
Curran to serve a Jail term of
from one to four years. Should
she be granted a new trial and
again be convicted of man
slaughter, any time she has
already served in jail would
not be counted.
This would be the possible
dilemma to be faced by other
defendants who had been rep
resented by Morgan, convicted
and sentenced to jail terms.
Except for those convicted of
first degree murder-and there
fore having everything to gain
in seeking a new trial in view
of the mandatory death SEN
tence - Morgan's other con-
victed clients might well pause
before seeking a new trial.

Eldridge K. Hayes, assistant
city attorney, said the suit,
which seeks annexation of a
21-square-mile portion of the

Most speakers at a public
hearing called for a delay on
the grounds that full informa-
ton about the effects of an

The four newly elected coun-
cilmen, who will take office
Saturday, sat through the dis
cuSSion in silence. They had
met for an hour and a quarter
in secret session with the in
cumbent council and annexa-
ton conSultantS. The meeting
delayed the start of the reg.
ular session by more than hall
an hour while a crowd of more
than 200 waited outside.
Outcome of the secret session
Mayor Bendheim announced
from the council bench, was
that the suit would ask for q
square miles, with the under
standing the new council at
any time can reduce the area
even after the suit is filed"
Mr.. Mann said later the new
council is nearly unanimous
in feeling the target area should
be cut significantly.
Annexation of the 21-square-
mile area, Mayor Bendheim
said, would mean a tax increase
of about 81 cents for the frs
two or three years after annex
alton, gradually decreasing il
six or seven years as the cost o.
annexation is paid off.
