Reprimond
OF ATTORNEY
Is Upheld

RICHMOND, Va, June IL
(AP) P).-Virginia's highest court
upheld today a lower court
reprimand of a Negro attorney,
Otto L. Tucker of Alexandria,
for soliciting professional en-
ployment.
Mr.. Tucker had appealed
from a reprimand given him
in Warren County Circuit Court
in a case in which he had rep
resented a 17-year-old youth
charged with felonious assault.
The Virginia State Bars
seventh district committee had
brought the charges against
Mr.. Tucker, an attorney for the
NAACP. The Warren County
Court held that a suspension
Of his right to practice law was
not justified, and that "the ends
of justice will be met by an Of
ficial reprimand."
Mr.. Tucker testified that a
visit he made to the youth, Bu-
ford L. Kibler, in the Warren
County Jail on June %, 1859,
was to ascertain the youths ver-
sion of the incident which had
given rise to charges placed
against others Mr.. Tucker had
been engaged to represent.
AS a result of the unsolicited
interview, Mr.. Tucker testified,
the youth wrote a note to his
mother indicating his desire to
have Mr.. Tucker represent him.

about this becoming a reality.

Don't kid yourself it's just
the thought that counts.
Something tangible in the

How can you tell her you

the ways, but the following
may be a bit of a help to
you if you're stumped and
can't come up with any
thing too original.
One way to have the day
stay with her throughout
the year is to have the flor

of fresh flowers and also mix
in some artificial ones. Lilies
of the valley are lovely both
ways, and with tiny ba by
roses in a pretty goblet or
small bowl, they are a fem

having the finest perfume to

"Fleurs de Rocaille" comes in

with the perfume highlighted
with a fancy paper lace frill

looks like it was made for
