The
Rambler
Ventures
A Legal Opinion
By GEORGE KENNEDY


Although far from learned
in the law-he has never at
tended law school nor read
"Wigmore on Evidence"-the
Rambler is going to risk a
legal opinion.
This will probably get him
into trouble with the lawyers
who seem to think it down.
right unethical for the laity
to have ideas in their chosen
field.
He is strongly of the opin-
ion that circumstantial evi-
dence is better than direct.
This is based on years of
covering courts.
The trouble with eyewit-
ness testimony Is that 1t is
SO easy for humans to err, es-
pecially in Identification,
and, sad to say, 1t Is so easy
for many of them to lie.
Every cub reporter learns
this when he is first assigned
to traffic court. The plaintiff
in a bent-fender case swears
that he was driving at IS
miles an hour. The defendant
was going go. The defendant
takes the stand, takes the
oath and testifies that it was
exactly vice versa.
A driver who was helplessly
drunk when arrested, will
take the stand in his own de-
tense and swear he had only
two beers.
How different it was when
knighthood was in flower. In
his Lowell Lectures on the
common law, Oliver Wendell
Holmes, jr., reminded his
learned audience that the
function of witnesses in early
English courts was merely to
testify that the litigants had
taken the oath. That was all
that was necessary. The
truth was bound to be forth
coming. The oath was a per-
sonal covenant between the
litigant and God.
How we flatter our peasan-
try by the assumption that
the oath means they are 60
ing to tell the truth-that
sworn testimony has more
value than unsworn.

Clinic Planned
At American U.

American University hopes to
increase student incentive to
study by offering a reading
clinic at the Uptown Campus.
Glasses will be held on Mon
days and Wednesdays begin
ming today from 4 to $50
pm. and from 6 to 1880 pm.
University officials believe
students who are poor readers
will study more if they can be
taught to read faster and in
crease their comprehension.
The course, which will cost
$35, will also be open to adults
who have college equivalent
reading abilities and want to
raise their reading speed and
comprehension.

JobIess Bill Right
On Third Try

The Senate today for the
third time passed legislation to
increase District unemployment
compensation. This time Sena-
tors did it right.
Their action sends the bill
to the House, where conferees
are. expected to be appointed
to settle differences in the
conflicting proposals cleared in
the two houses.
The Senate earlier had passed
the right bill, but put the
wrong number on it. Then
Senators passed the wrong
that is, the House bill they op-
posed-measure and started it
on its way to the White House
for the Presidents signature.
Today. on motion of Senator
Morse. Democrat of Oregon,
the Senate reconsidered its last
vote and passed its own bill.
The Senate version would set
maximum compensation at $46
a week for "a weeks compared
to a House ceiling of $38 a
week for 26 weeks.

Pair Held in Robbery,
Sought Funds to Wed

Loves course takes many
strange turns police learned
again today, as they held two
young Marines on charges of
committing a robbery to finance
their marriage.
Instead of a quick trip to the
altar, Pfc. Arlie L. Young and

are in a peck of trouble - he
charged with a $110.50 robbery

The prospective bride, a

herself up at the First Precinct
80 minutes after Young was
arrested at Thirteenth and 1
streets.
Robbery Squad Capt. Nunzio
Bonaccorsy said Miss Kerr in
sisted she was standing guard
outside the arcade, but that
her fiance just as stoutly as
serted he had left her at a
nearby hamburger stand.
Young was captured by Police
Pvts. David C.. Cox and
Severino Mendoza minutes
after they saw him get into a
cab. They said the Marine
quietly turned over to them a
.22-caliber pistol purchased
Saturday night. Young is a
guard at Henderson Hall,
where Miss Kerr is quartered,
He is attached to the First
Marine Corps Guard detach-
ment.
The big surprise of the early
Sunday morning holdup came
when Miss Kerr walked into
the station house.
"She said they we're hopeful
of raising enough money to be
married in her home town of
Dale, Ind" Capt. Bonaccorsy
said. When Young was ar
