Fee Remark
By Judge
Upsets Case

A judges remarks in order
ing a man to pay his former
wife's lawyer $4,000 in fees
prevented the man from get
ting a fair hearing, the Mu-
nicipal Court Of Appeals ruled
yesterday.
Domestic Relations Court
Judge John H. Burnett's order
to H. Bruce Price, a Senate
employee, was ordered reversed
by the appeals court yesterday
and a new hearing on the fee
was granted him.
Mrs. Sarah G. Price, of 3340
Prospect street NV, had sued
Mr.. Price for a limited divorce
in June, 1860. She then OBJ
tanned a Nevada divorce and
asked Judge Burnett to drop
her suit here.
Her motion also asked the
court to order her husband to
pay counsel fees to her lawyer,
John J. Borrower.
In a hearing, Judge Burnett
urged both sides to settle on
a fee but was told they were
unable to.
Now il he wants me to fix
it he will probably get stuck"
the judge is quoted as saying.
IF you counsel can agree on
a fee you probably agree upon
a fee smaller than I will fix.
IF you want me to fix it,
you will get stuck because I
believe in high fees and good
ones" the judge continued. He
later ordered Mr.. Price to pay
Mr.. Borrower $4,000, less $3.50
already paid by Mrs. Price.
Citing the judges remarks.
Mr.. Price appealed and the
appeals court decided for him,
noting I'VE believe he was
denied a fair hearing"
The opinion said I'VE hold
the trial judge by his attitude
and remarks created AN at
mosphere Of hostility which
prevented the fair and i'm
partial trial to which a litigant
is entitled" quoting from a
similar opinion this year.

Hit by Urban League

DAYTON, Ohio, Sept. 6
(AP) The National Urban
League, meeting here, charges
that the Newburgh IN. " re-

In a four-page statement,
the league yesterday warned Of

imposed relief plan in the Hud-
son River community. 1t point
ed out that the alleged racial
aspects might take this Ma
ton back to a set of attitudes
which delayed effective attack

Civil Defense
ParIeyCaI|ed
In MARYLAND
BY q Star Staff Writer

ANNAPOLIS, Sept. Gov
ernor Tawes has ordered a
full-scale review of Maryland'S
civil defense program with a
view toward bolStering it with
legislative action if needed.
The Governor said he has
scheduled a meeting Septem-
Der % with Maryland mayors
and county commission presi-
dents, legal aides and civil de-
tense officials.
Should disaster strike, mil
lions of Americans would be
killed or manned merely be-
cause we were too complacent,
too interested in the pleasures
of the present to secure the
safety of our future" the
Governor said at a press con-
ference yesterday.
Possible Tax Incentives
Among the problems to be
discussed at the meeNng with
local officials were these
listed by the Governor:
Possible tax incentives for
fallout shelter construction,
adequate protection in public
schools, methods of simplify
ing coming restrictions and
building codes to facilitate
shelter construction, and i'm
proved means of disseminating
information to the public.
If additional legislation is
needed at the State level to
facilitate the rapid expansion
of Maryland's civil defense
program, such legislation will
have my firm support" the
Governor said.
At the 1861 session of the
General Assembly, legislation
was passed exempting fall-out
shelters from property taxes.
Surveys Buildings
Among the possible tax in
centives to be discussed would
be deduction of shelter ex-
penseS from income taxes.
Governor Tawes said he has
already ordered State civil de-
tense officials to provide him
with information on the loca-
ton and number of buildings
and other facilities in Maryland
which could be used as public
shelters.
The Governor noted that the
executive mansion in Annapo-
lis was the first state chief
executives residence to have a
certified fall-out shelter.
Maryland also has an under
ground shelter at Pikesville.
near Baltimore, which would
be used for State Govern
mental operations in case of
attack.

felt it will become a campaign
issue if other communities &C.
cept the plan as it is now.
The controversial plan
changed the system of relief
distribution, and the Urban
League claims this struck heav-
lily at the Negro population of
the community. About SO per
cent of the relief load in New
burgh is Negro.

Former Juneau Man Sentenced for Defrauding Red Cross Chapter

FORT HURON, Mich. R - The American Red Cross asked the FBI to investigate reports that James B. Nash, 55, of Juneau, Alaska, has been defrauding chapters in other states by ob- taining small amounts of money under false pretenses.
 Nash was sentenced to 90 days in jail here Friday after he had pleaded guilty in Justice of Peace Court to defrauding the Red Cross here of $15. Officials said he obtained the money Feb 3 by telling fictitious story he needed the money to return to Alaska to attend his daughters funeral.
 Red Cross officials said they were informed by the Juneau Chapter that Nash used a similar story to obtain money from the Red Cross in nine other cities.
 Nash was given the maximum penalty here under state law. Of ficials said they were investi- gating the possibility of prosecut- ing Nash under federal law.

= n Report Says h'a T Has a Degree of Fo~n~~,;c 'netahility
Associated Press Special Service

WASHINGTON R - A govern ment research report said yes terday that Alaska always has had a degree of economic insta- bility due to strike-it-rich think ing which persists to some degree
 But though it has many growth problems, the report said, Alaska is maturing and that maturity will be hastened with the development of a more adequate transporta- tion system.
 These views are contained in a management research summary issued by the Small Business Ad- mir istration.
 The Alaska study was made pos sible by an SEA grant of $28,873 in 1859. A second grant of $34,- 128 was made last year for study of tourist business in that state.
 Transportation is a key factor in the development and growth of the Alaskan economy" the re- port said. "Expediency even survival are dependent upon transportation"
 The report said the Alaskan labor force is somewhat unstable. It is greatly influenced by the climate and amount of yearly con- struction. usually from the first of April through October, the re- port added.
 "The resulting influx of mi grant construction workers who leave at the close of the season means a high labor turnover. This is a contributing factor to the high cost of residential and com mercial construction"

was need for an organized bor- ough in the Ketchikan area at the present time, but he said Ketchi- kan would be willing to support a need elsewhere.
 Rep. Leo Rhode of Homer read a telegram from the Kenai Penin- sula Chamber of Commerce which urged that any borough bill ap- proved contain a provision de- laying the effective date at least until April 1, 1862, "to allow de- finite thinking on the complexi- ties and arouse interest among citizens concerning definite pro- visions"
 There are four borough bills before the Legislature at the present time, one in the House and three in the Senate.
 The House measure was intro duced at the request of Gov. Egan and the Legislative Council. 1t represents a years research on a borough system of local govern ment.
 Sen. Brad Phillips of Archor- age has introduced a bill calling for the creation of both organized and unorganized boroughs, as does the Egan-Legislative Council bill.
 Sen. John McNees introduced two borough bills in the upper chamber. One provides for the establishment of organized bor- oughs and the other for the es- tablishment of unorganized bor- oughs.
