ANNAPOLIS, April 80 (AP).
Gov. TaweS has asked the
State Roads Commission to de-
termine If it is feasible to erect
protective fences along Mary
land expressways to protect
children.
The governor said he had
noticed in driving about the
State that residential develop

children are exposed to traffic
hazards.
The danger of a child's
running into the path of traf-

With Fulton

A George Washington por-
trait at the Capitol is involved
in a dispute between former
President Truman and Repub-
lican Representative Fulton of
Pennsylvania.
There is no question that the
full-length painting of Wash
ington that adorns the House
Reception Room in the Capitol's
east front extension is a genu-
inc Gilbert Stuart. The con-
troYersy centers on the accu-
racy of Mr.. Truman'S recollec-
ton that the painting, sent in
1851 by the American Embassy
in Madrid, should have been
delivered by Mr.. Eaton to the
White House instead of to the
Capitol.
Congressional officials said
the painting from Spain hung
in the Statuary Hall longer
than 10 years. Mainly at the
suggestion of Mr.. Fulton, it
recently was moved to the new
reception room for House men,
bers. Officials said they be-
lieved it came from the White
House after arriving from Spain.
They added that it aroused no
controversy until becoming in
volved some time ago in Penn
sylvania politics.
Mr.. Fulton's Democratic op-
ponent, Margaret Lee Walgren
several weeks ago asked Mr.
Truman whether he discovered
the portrait in Spain. She was
quoted in Pennsylvania yes
terday as saying Mr.. Truman
replied that Mr.. Fulton was
requested by the then Ameri-
can Ambassador to deliver the
portrait to the White House.
Mr.. Fulton was not in Wash
ington today. Associates said he
has explained that he brought
the portrait first to the White
House but was told by Mr.. Tru-
man that the White House
already had a better Gilbert
Stuart portrait of the first
President.

Court Barely Continues
State Rule on Counsel

A Florida morals conviction
was reversed by the Supreme
Court today on the ground that
the defendant should have had

decision stopped short of re-

PENDANTS must be granted coun-

defendant charged with crime
in a State court did not have a

unless refusal to provide coun-

to the universal sense of JUS

Justice Brennan, writing the
courts opinion today, held that
the assistance of counsel might
well have helped the defendant
in coping with several aspects
of the case.
The defendant, Willard Carn-

charge involving his daughter.
After citing several points in
the trial at which Carnley
could have been helped by
counsel, Justice Brennan said
the court held that this case
