Effort to Discredit
Attorneys for Mr.. William
son have made a concentrated
effort during the past two days
of the trial to diScredit the
testimony of Mr. Cunningham.
For instance, in an effort to
attack Cunningham's CREDIBLE
ity as a witness, they brought
in Mrs. Gladys Kepner of
Jacksonville, Fla,
Confronted with Mr.. Cum
ningham in the courtroom,
Mrs. Kepner said he was the
same man who had married her
in December, 1887. then de-
serted her after a four-day
honeymoon. The defense then
showed that Mr.. Cunningham
was already married to some
one else at that time.
Other defense witnesses teSti-
fled that Mr.. Cunningham was
a ''liar."
Psychiatrist Testifies
And yesterday DR.. winston
Burdine Of Atlanta, Ca, @
psychiatrist, was asked to an
swer a hypothetical question.
The question related to Mr..
Cunningham's alleged violent
temper and to his three mar
riages, among other things told
the jury by defense witnesses
earlier.
DR.. Burdine said that such q
person would be classified as
a "sociopathic personality-a
kind of moral insanity"
The psychiatrist said the
three marriages "of this hypo-
thetical man indicated abnor-
mality."

An Urbana Ill0 lawyer de-
MED in District Court yester-
day that he had destroyed
telephone records OF the
Woodner Hotel in an effort to
obstruct a Senate committees
investigation of the Team
ster's Union in 1859.
This testimony was offered
by Joseph Williamson as he
took the stand in his own de-
fense against a charge of con-
spring to obstruct the work of
the committee. Two other de-
PENDANTS, Mrs. Sally Hucks,
former chief telephone opera
tor at the Woodner, and Moss
Herman, a New York Team
ster, also have been indicted
on the same charge.
Mr.. Williamson contradicted
testimony offered earlier in the
lengthy trial by John r. Cum
ningharn, one of a disSident
group of Teamsters who set
off several years of litigation
in 1858 when they challenged
the election Of Teamster Presi-
dent James r, Hoffa.
Testimony in Conflict
Mr.. Cunningham, appearing
as a prosecution witness, had
told the District Court jury that
he saw Mr.. Williamson burning
records in a Woodner suite in
April, 1853, at the height of
the committee investigation.
Mr.. Williamson yesterday
said the records had been
turned over to the committee
two days before, denying that
Mr.. Cunningham had seen the
records being destroyed.
However, Justice Department
Attorney Abraham Poretz re-
minded Mr.. Williamson that
in July, 1859, the Illinois lawyer
told a District grand jury that
the records were in his Wood
ner room when Mr.. Cunning
ham said they were.

Everything we have been
doing in Arlington in the de-
sign and planning of services
and all that we win continue
to do envisions one half of this
population activity. To more
than double our present popu-
lation would require a complete
political revision in Arlington
and a revision of basic serv-
lines away beyond anything
reasonably possible"

Urbanske School Leader
Mr.. Urbanske, who is 81,
entered Arlington politics as
a Democratic precinct worker
shortly after World War II.
He was a leader in the move
ment fighting to build Arling-
tons ultra-modern school plant
and eventually rose to the
craftsmanship Of the county
Democratic Party.
In 1855 he helped organize
the Arlingtonians for a Better
County, a liberal coalition of
Democrats, Republicans and
independents which has won
every county board election
since 1856.
He later became chairman
Of the coalition and in 1853
was its successful county board
candidate.
Mr.. Wilt is an Independent
and his selection as vice chair
man by the ABC- dominated
board constitutes an unusual
political honor for him. The
vice chairman traditionally sue
ceeds to the Craftsmanship upon
expiration Of his term. Thus,
for the first time. a political
faction controlling the board

Well, an apple a day may

orchard, requires, during the

doctors to tend to injuries

no cheating, and a carload
