CHARITY AFTER CRASH
Driver Sees q Duty,
Posts Others Bond

Because charity seldom be-
gins in traffic accidents, Mu.
nicipal Court prosecutors still
are shaking their heads ovel

A women driver forfeited $25

$25 for his collateral ano
turned down a chance to escape
any penalty whatever.
Mrs. Josephine Owens, So, s
nurse living at 1892 Eighth
street NV, made the gesture
at a hearing yesterday before
Assistant Corporation Counse
Gordon M. Van Sanford.
On December 19 Mrs. Owens
car collided with a small truck
at Franklin street and Rhode
Island avenue NE. She anc
the truck driver, John H. Sui
Ivan, 40, of Baltimore, talked
it over later with Mr.. Van San
ford.
The prosecutor decided Mrs
Owens should be charged with
failure to yield right of way

sonable speed, since the truck

this move only about two hour!
before having to go into court
asked for a delay.
Judge Sirica gave him only
until Monday, and granted the
request to file a petition for 6
writ of habeas corpus.
Mr.. eastman, arguing for 6
proper procedure, said Mr.
Prettyman would not only have
to sue Mr.. Clemmer, but woulc
also have to include the acting
superintendent of the District
jail as a respondent.
The assistant corporation
council also insisted that he
couldn't properly represent the
acting jail superintendent ex-
cept at the request of this
OlllClal.
The judge then ordered Mr.
eastman to come into court
yesterday to settle this issue.
Fulwood already has served
two years and five months of a
two to eight year sentence on a
robbery charge. He contends
he was placed in solitary con-
finement because he filed a
petition with the late Commits
sioner David Karrick claiming
he sad been subjected to cruel
and unusual punishment. Mr.
Clemmer. in turn, has said
members of the Black Muslin
sect refuse to confrom to prison

dent had cost his job, leaving
him with insufficient funds for
$25 collateral, forfeiture of
which would have avoided court
appearance.
Mr.. Van Sanford replied that
in view of this, both drivers
could go to court and he would
recommend a suspended SEN
tence.
Mrs. Owens thought it over,
decided she would rather for
felt her $25 and, not to leave
Mr.. Sullivan in the lurch
would lend him $25 for his COL
lateral.
Gratefully accepting, Mr.
Sullivan promised to repay the
loan gradually as he picked up
odd jobs.
Mrs. Owens later admitted
she was a bit confused by the
alternatives offered by Mr.. Van
Sanford. II had pity on the
fellow (Mr. Sullivan) and was
glad to do a good turn" she
added.
Somewhat puzzled by it all,
Mr.. Van Sanford concluded
II guess I didn't make it clear
she could save her money by
going to court"

Judge Sirico Assoi|s D. c. Official
On Delays in Jail Mistreotment Case
By PHIL THOMAS
Star Staff Writer

District Court Judge John j.
Sirica, normally a mild-man-
nered man, administered a
tongue-lashing yesterday to
District Corporation Counsel
Chester Gray, charging him
with "dilly-dallying" in a case
involving a Jail inmate.
Mr.. Gray was not present at
the time.
The cause of the judges ire
traces its beginnings back to
October, 1860, when William
T. x, Fulwood, a BLACK Mus
lim," accused Jail officers of
misconduct. He claimed that he
had been subjected to cruel
punishment after he appealed
to the District Commissioners
that he was being Disseminated
against because of his religion.
The Muslims are a Negro SUI
premacy group.
AS the case came up before
Judge Sirica on a procedural
point yesterday, the jurist an
grily expressed his impatience
with delays that he feels that
Mr.. Gray has caused, holding
up the hearing that had been
ordered by the United States
Court of Appeals.
Judge Is Angry
Angrily addressing Assistant
Corporation Counsel James M.
eastman, the judge said, why
doesn't (Mr. Gray come down
personally to argue this mat
ter?"
Making no secret of his an
noyance, the judge recalled that
there had been objections to
efforts to clear away difficulties

ers will get underway at the
Martha Washington Vocational
High School.
Mr.. Shea said about II
mothers, all volunteers, will be
in the class. A starting date

The mothers, whose families
Evening star., 1962-01-24

are supported through grants
from the aid dependent
children program, will learn
correct methods of cleaning
and performing housekeeping
duties in large institutions, Mr..
Shea said.
The course also will include
the use of new time-saving de-
vices and equipment, handling
new types of supplies and ma
terials. and organized methods
of work.
Courses Planned
Provision will be made for
courses in business mathe-
matics. business English and
business methods, Mr.. Shea
said.
The Public Welfare Training
Center, a temporary home for
mothers and children on ADO.
where mothers learn job skills
as we'll as homemaking and
childcare techniques, now has
its second class in residence.
Mr.. Shea told the council. The
center is at 1719 Thirteenth
street NV. Thirty mothers and
As children are living there.
These mothers also are volun-
teers.
Mr.. Shea told the council
the department is engaged in
a "factual study without any
theories" of the impact Of the
recent cut in relief grants for
large families. An experienced
worker has been assigned full
time to the study, and will in
terview at least 60 of the more
than-100 families affected.
1--WE will be looking at the
total plcture-t0 see II there
has been an aggravated health
problem, more evictions, more
truancy," Mr.. Shea reported.
Defense Consideration
The council itself will study
present relief shelter allow
ances in relation to current
housing costs. The standards
now used were set in 1858. The
council voted to defer con-
sideration of a subcommittee's
proposal that establishment of
a ceiling on the shelter allow
ance be indorsed in principle
until its study and the depart
ment's are completed.

Portrait Gallery
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

Look at my book, before
you write about me-" said
Harsh of Ottawa.
A reasonable request; in
dicative of his high regard
for his own work..
The pictures in his book
reveal his regard for his fell
low man.
Yousuf Harsh is a great
portrait photographer.
He is here to do the New
Frontier.
He was at The Star yes
terday for lunch.
He's a little man with deep
brown eyes, bald on top with
a fringe, a delightful con-
versationalist. He has a way
of convincing his hearers
that they are in his gallery of
the great.
His book, Faces of Des-
tiny" contains the best of
his wartime portraiture.
What I have tried to do,"
he said yesterday, "is to pic
ture public persons not as
they look at the moment, but
as the world thought of
them"
Quite an assignment. Yet
here is a glowering Churchill,
the man who offered his ma
ton little but the spirit of
fight and blood, sweat and
tears" Here is Eleanor Roose-
velt revealing the girl in her

when the corporation counsel
had sought in the past to excuse
certain persons from jury duty

corporation counseD when they

can get"
The judge said he thinks that
Mr.. eastman himself has done
a wonderful job but for
some reasons there have been
more technical objections in
this case than ony other case
have listened to, I think, since
I have been on the bench"
Judge Sirica then told Mr..
eastman, You can tell Mr..
Gray that I am quite put out
about it.
Il don't think have had the
proper kind of cooperation in
this case.
Attorney Appointed
District Court Judge Charles
F. Mclaughlin had refused
Fulwood a hearing, but the
inmate appealed his case, and
last August the United States
Court of Appeals ruled that he
should have a hearing.
E. Barrett Prettyman, jr., a
Washington attorney, was ap-
pointed to handle the case on
behalf of the pennilesS Full
wood. Mr.. Prettyman, who has
a reputation as a resourceful
and aggressive young lawyer,
has been having his troubles
since he notified the court on
January 3 that he is prepared
for a hearing in the Fulwood
case. Though the Corporation
Counsel's office nine days later
said 1t is ready for a hearing
Mr.. Prettyman then made a
move for a pre-trial questioning
of Donald Clemmer, head o.
the Districts Department o.
Corrections.
At this point Mr.. Cashmar
reminded the court that such G

the International Electronics-
Oil Corp, told reporters that a
much-publicized purchase from
the firm of two big real estate
tracts was done without their
knowledge or authority.
Before the three testified,
two Washington businessmen

Delegate James M. Thomson
of Alexandria, offered legisla-
ton yesterday to permit his
city to reinStitute annexation
proceedings against Fairfax
County within the next five
years. At present, a city may
not sue to annex more than
once within that period.
| Alexandria recently decided
to drop its annexation suit
against Fairfax County and
the Thomson bill would permit
any locality to sue again if the
suit had never been argued on
its merits or had been dis
missed.
Mr.. Thomson also introduced
legislation to empower coun-
ties and cities to adopt emer-
gency snow regulations pat
termed after the plan in effect
in the District of Columbia.
The local governing bodies
could provide penalties up to
$25 for operators of automo-
biles that stall on main thor
oughfares and which are not
equipped with chains or snow
tires.
Seeks Expansion
Senator Fenwick today in
troduced a bill to include thu
portion of Loudoun County oe4
cupied by the Dulles Interna-
tional Airport in the Washing
ton Metropolitan Area Transit
Authority. The compact be-
tween Virginia, Maryland and
the District of Columbia, was
authorized here in 1858 to regu-
, late fares and schedules of
buses and other forms of trans
portation within the Washing
ton region.
Senator Boothe introduced a
bill yesterday to amend the
Alexandria city charter-a dup
J licate of the measure offered
last week by Delegate Thorn
, son. Among its provisions:
1t would increase the salary
of city council members from
! $l00 to $3.50 a month and the
mayor to $3.50; allow the coun-
Gil to consolidate certain city
departments but not to abolish
offices held by officials; restore
; an original position that a
l comprehensive zoning plan be
.. adopted every two years; make
the school board appointed
; from the city at-large instead
, of an equal number from two
school districts, and incorpo-
rate a land development and
site plan.
A bill by Delegate D. French
Slaughter, jr.. of Culpeper
would extend from 180 to 19(
days the length of a public
school year. This has the in
dorsement of Gov. Harrison
and was recommended by the
