to hold religious services. As a
result of this letter to the Fed
eral Court in Richmond, a sim
liar case involving the same
issue Of religious freedom for
Muslims at Lorton Reforma-
tory was dismissed.
1t was not until a week later
that Judge Matthews acted in
the case of william T. x. Full
wood, a Muslin inmate, where
the same question was involved.
Mr.. eastman, seeking the
stay of Judge Matthews order
yesterday said the "determi-
native cause" of the disturb
ances at the youth center was
Judge Matthews direction that
the Muslims should be permit
ted to hold religious services.
He said that the result of these
services has been unrest that
exploded into the riots of last
week.
Transferred to Jail
The Lorton authorities. on
Thursday, transferred about Is
members of the Muslin sect
and about "a sympathizers
from the youth center to the
District Jail to forestall further
unrest-just as Fulwood was
transferred to the Jail follow
ing a Muslin demonstration at
Lorton Reformatory in May,
1860.
But Mr.. eastman argued,
since this transfer grew indi-
rectly out of religious activities
of the Muslims at the youth
center. it is possible the trans
fer would not be legal under
the terms Judge Matthews spec
flied in the Fulwood case.
However, Mr.. Prettyman said
that Judge Matthews order
does not apply to the youth
center but only to the Lorton
Reformatory.
"It is like asking a stay of
Judge Matthews order because
of difficulty they are having
at Leavenworth. These are not
shown to be connected" Mr..
Prettyman added.

LawfOrd's Not Invited

When Mrs. Lawford heard of
Miss Monroe's death, she flew
from the Summer White House

attend the funeral.
But when she got here she
found that neither she nor her
husband had been invited.
I'm shocked" Mr.. Lawford
said, I'VE were not invited.

but the whole thing was badly
handled"
The Lawfords were very close
friends of Miss Monroe's, as
were Frank Sinatra, Clifton
Webb and Dean Martin.
None of them was invited.
Miss Monroe's half sister,
Mrs. Bernice Meracle, and Mr..
Di Maggie handled the guest
list. No movie stars were in
vited-and none showed up.
Those in charge of the ar
rangements explained that if
they invited one star, they
would have to invite many, and
to have a big crowd would
mean a circus-like funeral.
The absence of the big movie
names may have given a digni-
fled, almost quiet tone to the
funeral, but it hardly seemed
the type. of final sendoff for a
star of Miss Monroe's magni-
tude.
Lee Strasberg, head of the
actors studio in New York and
Miss Monroe's longtime drama
mentor, eulogized her as "a
warm human being impulsive
and shy, sensitive and in fear
of rejection, yet ever avid for
life and reaching out for full
fillment.

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 3 (AP) &.
-"Marilyn Monroe 1926-1962."
The plate on the crypt reads
simply, but it tells little of a
Hollywood legend-or Of her
funeral, quite unusual for such
q legendary personality.
For instance, there was the
former baseball star, Joe Di
Maggie, the second of Miss
Monroe's three husbands.
Before the actress, who was
found dead in bed Sunday from
an overdose of sleeping pills,
went to her final resting place
yesterday. the famed New York
Yankee slugger bent over her
coffin.
Tearfully, he kissed her and
murmered:
II love you. I love you. I
love you"
1t was out of character for
the reticent Di Maggie. but
perhaps that made it all the
more sincere. Later he drove
his car through Westwood
Memorial Park. stopped once
more at her crypt and then
drove on.
Fans Quiet During Rites
Then there were the fans.
During the simple, non-denomi-
national rites, they were order
ly, dignified, even sentimental.
But as soon as the funeral
was over, a couple hundred of
them climbed over a concrete
wall, trampled the grass and
flowers around the crypt that
entombed the movie queen.
When the fans left, most Of
the flowers went with them.
"Marilyn Monroe meant a lot
to me-" said one unidentified
short order cook, a recent
immigrant from Rome, who
clutched one Of Mr.. Di Maggio's
roses in his hand. "I'll always
keep this flower pressed. It will
remind me of a girl who had
even a worse start in life than
/ had-but who became famous
all over the world"
Then there were the Holly
wood stars who weren't invited
to the funeral.

longtime publicity representa-
tive. said Of the 81 invited
guests:
About half of the people in

Youths Plea
In Staying
Rejected

= ANNAPOLIS, April 81 (AP) =.
The Court of Appeals has af-
firmed the conviction of Ralph
Wayne DreSbach, a 16-year-old
Anne Arundel County youth
sentenced to life in prison for
the Staying of his father.
Marshall A. Levin, attorney
for Dresbach, had appealed the
Anne Arundel County Circuit
Court decision because he said
Judge Benjamin Michaelson ex-
pressed a personal opinion dur
ing his clients trial.
The States high court held
yesterday that the question was
not properly before it for review
because mo exception or OBJ
lection was taken at the time of
the courts remark"
Even if the matter was prop
erly before us a different re-
suit would not follow" the
court added.
Seen Not Unusual
It said it is not unusual for
a judge to allude to evidence
which already had been intro
duced to make his meaning
clear in order to eliminate pos
sible confusion in the minds of
the jury.
Mr.. Levin had argued that
Judge Michaelson, in ruling on
an objection, prejudiced the
jury with his comment:
Il don't like to say this, you
have a two-way sword, he killed
his mother, he didn't protect his
mother. All the testimony about
what the mother and father
did, I don't think is relevant
at all. If he favored one in
preference to the other 1t might
have some bearing on it,"
Urges Great Care
The high court said, ut is
undoubtedly true that a trial
Judge because of his authorita-
tive position should be exceed
ingly careful in any remarks
made by him during the prog
ress of the trial in ruling on
evidence or prayers, refrain Ell
ther directly or indirectly from
expressing an opinion on facts
which should properly be left to
the province of the jury"
But the court said, "the rec
ord discloses that the comments
of the trial judge were made
after Dresback's) confession
had been admitted in evidence
and after Dresbach) had tes-
titled that he had shot his
parents"
