The store owners and their
insurance company sued own
erS of both autos. The lawyer
for one of the car owners was
Williams E. Owen, with offices
at 215 C street NV.
At one point in the trial, the
appeal court noted, Judge
Kronheim interrupted Mr..
Owen during his cross-exami-
nation of a witness and said:
Under our system anybody
who passes the bar is entitled

(Mr. Owen) has passed the

At another point, the appeal
court said, Judge Kronheim
told witness to indulge" the
attorney because 'he is little
slow in catching the point"

Hostile Atmosphere
In its opinion, the appeals
court said remarks such as
Judge Kronheim's create an
atmosphere of hostility" which
prevents, or appears to pre-
vent. an impartial trial.
In a second opinion released
yesterday, the appeal court re-
versed Judge Kronheim's dis
missal last October of a suit on
a $3.50 promiSsory note.
The dismissal. which Judge
Nathan Cayton of the appeals
court termed patiently erro-
neous," was granted at the

Poet Graves Works Hard,
But Always Avoids q Job
BY WILLIAM GRIGG
Star Staff Writer

After World War I, a young
Robert Graves resolved never
again to take a job or be any,
body'S stooge."
Now midway through his COS,
the British novelist-poet-schol-
ar SIT in an overstuffed chair
yesterday and unused that not
until he was so did offers come
in so that he could plan, finan-
cially, more than two months
ahead.
But in the intervening time.
most of which he has spent on
Majorca, he has produced al
together something like 100
books" including "I, Claudius,"
THE Greek Myths" and many
collections of his Spare-worded
poems of love.
And he has become a man
sure that he has mot sold out"
The big man adjusted him
self in the chair.
There are few who have
not sold out" he observed.
Robert Frost, composer Ralph
. Vaughan Williams and a few
others have not, he said, and
; that is why he has treasured
their company and avoided
: conventional and less exclu-
sive circles.
What is nice about the free
world" he said, "iS that If
you're very lucky and very per-
, sistent, you can get almost any,
thing published.
. Trend to Popular
But there are pressures and
/, a kind of publishing censor
, ship, the inclination to print
, the popular. that must be
F, resisted. he continued.
, Ignore temptations, Mr..
+. Graves said he advises young
, poets, Ito be anything except |
+, what you want to be-"
, "Compr omise and you're |
/, lost" he said. although you
may be successful.
, These are the professional |
ethics Mr.. Graves intends to
: lecture on in a five-year series
at oxford. The visiting profess
, sorship to which he has been
elected is not a job in the con-
ventional sense, he hurried to
explain; he will have full con-
troll of what he says.
He will probably condemn
his hated Vergil for dying
worth a fortune paid by the
,m'nistry of propaganda" and
will certainly stress his con-
ceptS of spiritual freedom.
The true poet stands outside
society while belonging to it
and loving it," he said.
PrleSLS MOI free
This should be true of
priests, but they are not
, spiritually free because their
ecclesiasticism hampers them
in their spiritual job.
Psychologists and anthro-
biologists are perhaps the freeSt
, observers.
A., Mr.. Graves will fly to New
York to address the American
. Academy of Arts and Letters
next Wednesday and become
an honorary member. Honor
ary" is as far as he'll go.
. He won't become real mem
ber of anything.
a He placed a black bull-fight-
ling hat on his head and bade
sgoodby to the Francis Biddles,
with whom he stayed for his
. lecture for the Institute of
Contemporary Arts here.
Leaving for his plane, he car
,:ried one small canvas bag of
worldly gear. He still wasn't
selling out. II

David, they said, is now 5
feet, 8 inches tall and weighs
$50 pounds. His parents
looked healthier, happier and
more comfortable than at
any time I have seen them
during the last nine years.
John, who's 10 or Is pounds
thinner, said his assignment
to Carlyle Barracks has been
postponed for one year by
which time his fathers me-
moirs should be finished.
SENATOR GOLDWATER,
who fingered long at the party
with his wife, said that
G. o. P. Chairman Miller's
suggestion of q Rockefeller
Goldwater ticket or vice
versa wouldn't do at all.
How would it be if I were
out on the Coast talking

ton while he was speaking
in favor Of it in the East?"
asked the candidate Of the
conservatives.
As for the Birch Society
which the Senator has been
reported as regarding with
some favor, Barry Goldwater
said the only branch he
knew about was the one in
his home town of Phoenix
which was headed by a for
mer chief justice Of the State
and a Democrat. It holds
educational meetings which
are open to the public to
teach people about commu-
niSm, and it doesn't take
orders from society president
Welsh, he said. Since the
Communists have proved the
effectiveness of the cell for
purposes of spreading their
doctrine and tearing down
ours, he thinks the cell
method might be used by this
country for educational pur-
poses. Communism wasn't
taught when he went to
school. added the Senator,
But I think everyone should
take a course in it,"

to concentrate its efforts.
There are so many of them
