A Municipal Court judge to-

yer, despite the Governments
contention the attorney did a

The youth, John C. Nolan,

of assault and attempted lar
ceny and placed on a years
probation. He was 18.
Attorney Frank j. Oberg, ap-
pointed to represent Nolan in
a new case, asked Judge Mil
dred E. Reeves last week to
vacate the youths convictions
because IL. A. Harris" who de-
Tended him, was not a lawyer.
Instead, Harris" turned out
to be Daniel Jackson Oliver
Wendell Morgan, whom the FBI
claims posed for Is months as
Harris, a real lawyer in Cali
I.fornia. Morgan has been in
dicted and charged with fraud.
Judge Reeves. in today's
opinion, agreed with Mr.. Oberg
that Nolan, of the 1900 block
Of Park Road NV. "had been
deprived of his constitutional
right to legal counsel"

Trade Stamps
Soughtin DC.
City Heads Tuke
Step to Permit Use

The District Commissioners
took a step yesterday which
could finally open the door here
to those little colored pieces Of
paper which turned millions of
housewives into stamp COL
lectorS.
The Commissioners voted 81
to recommend that Congress
repeal an 1871 gift enterprise
law which bans the giving of
So-called free items in connec-
ton with a purchase.
Chester Gray, corporation
counsel, said he had been as
sured that a House District
subcommittee would act favor
ably if a bill were submitted to
remove this law from the stat
ute books.
Trading stamps are used in
the suburbs surrounding Wash
ington and in practically all
the States, but the gift enter
prise law has kept them out of
the District.
Mr.. Gray emphasized that he
is not in favor of trading
stamps. However, he said that
if this law were strictly en-
forced it would drive business
out of Washington.
He said 1t is common prac.
tice for many national mer-
chandising companies to offer
free premiums.
Mr.. Grey estimated that as q
result the gift enterprise law is
violated here about $4,000 time:
daily by the giving of such free
items as a bottle of shampoo
with each purchase of a tube oi
toothpaste, for example.
Commissioner Robert E. Nc.
Laughlin said he believed use

Pilgrimage :
By GEORGE KENNEDY


The old stage coach road,
now Route 20, crosses New
York State 1paralleling the
tracks of the New York Cen
trail a few miles to the north.
Thus 1t misses all the cities
that grew up along the
tracks - Batavia, Rochester,
Syracuse and Utica.
We lunched at the Avon
Inn, which dates back to
1890, after driving half way
across the State on this
straight and .traffic-free
road. On the way we had
opportunity to marvel at the
perfection of the New York
State farmhouse, a gable to
the front and a gable to the
side over white clapboard
and green blinds and, quite
likely, a doorway suggesting
Greece rather than Rome.
In what a classic atmos-
phere was this part of the
country settled! Take the
names Of the towns: Corinth,
Marcellus, Rome, Fa bius,
Carthage, RomuluS and
others.

from Rochester to Williams
port, Harrisburg, Gettysburg,
Frederick, LeeSburg, and.
other towns on its way to-
Florida.

Beyond Corning we notice
signs advertising the Mark
Twain Hotel at Elmira and
Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn
motels on its outskirts. The
real Mark Twain country Is
on the west bank of the
Mississippi but Elmira takes
pride in its adopted son.
Mark married Olivia Langdon
of Elmira and both are bur-
led in Woodlawn Cemetery
near the center of the town.
We decide to turn off to
see the little summer house
where Mark Twain wrote

find because it has been
moved from the Quarry
Farm, the country place of
Jervis Langdon, Marks
wealthy father-in-law to the

its eight sides are panels
of glass. The Langdon man
