The present collateral list,
used by police in fixing the

Judge John j. Malloy yester-
day confirmed reports that the

Other authoritative sources

From Jail
As Puupers

Twenty-eight inmates of the
Districts Occoquan (Va.O work
house were ordered released
yesterday by United States
Commissioner Stanley King of
Alexandria because they are
pauperS.
The inmates, two of them
women, had invoked a Federal
Code provision which bars i'm
priSonment of persons unable
to pay fines for more than 80
days.
The release brings to so the
number of Occoquan prisoners
released since May, when Rob-
ert E. L. Richardson, a George
town University Law School
graduate student and a member
Iof the university's legal in
tern program, brought three
cases before Mr.. King for re-
lease under the then-seldom-
used law.
The law. Mr.. Richardson said,
was aimed at preventing i'm
prisonment Of a pauper in lieu
of a fine a rich man could pay.
After taking the pauper's
oath before Mr.. King, the %
were driven in a bus by a
United States marshal to the
District side of the Fourteenth
street bridge and set free.
Release of the prisoners was
IunoppoSed by Federal attorneys,
who recently lost an appeal in
the District Court Of Appeals.
They had argued that the
paupers were convicted by the
Municipal Court under the Dis
trict of Columbia Code and that
therefore the Municipal Court
was not acting as a Federal
court and was not governed
by the Federal Code.

Similar railing is used on

railing would withstand the i'm
pact of a car going something
like so miles an hour.
Our basic philosophy is that
we don't want a railing SO

want one so weak that a car
will go through it like paper" +"

on Key Bridge is 9 inches high,
the District is building 12-inch
