ubject is-crime, business, edu-
on the Senate side dealing with
crime. Last May, the House
committee, reacting to a series
OF violent rapes, dug up the
Mallory and Durham bills. One
would have clarified the Dur
ham decision of 1854 which
dealt with insanity as Grim
inal defense. The other would
prevent a judge from throwing
out a confession solely because
delay occurred between arrest
and arraignment. The bills are
pending before the Judiciary
Subcommittee.
Scheduled for a vote in the
Senate is a House-passed bill to
abolish the mandatory death
penalty in first-degree murder
convictions. While it has its
humanitarian aspects, it is de.
signed to help prosecutors win
more convictions by providing
jurles with an alternative in
sentencing the guilty.
Standing firm against all
three crime bills is Senator
Morse, Democrat of Oregon.
Representative M MILAN,
chairman of the House District
Committee, has stated his COM
mittee'S work in the second ses-
sion will be largely investiga-
tive.
Other Action Due
But action is expected on at
least three bills left pending
with adjournment. One, passed
by the Senate, would authorize
development of a two-year
junior college within the frame-
work of District Teachers COL
lege.
Another bill, written by the
Federal City Council. would
grant the District Commits
sionerS more power to expedite
redevelopment activities. The
bill is expected to be reported
out early in the session by a
subcommittee headed by Rep
resentative Smith. Democrat Of
Virginia.
Mr.. Mcmillan also will try to
pull out of another subcommit-
tee bill to subsidize the D. C.
Transit System for carrying
children to and from school at
reduced rates. The Senate has
passed the bill.
New Face
The new session will find a
new personality deeply involved
in District affairs. He is Repre-
sentative hatcher, Democrat of
Kentucky. the new chairman
of the House Appropriations
subcommittee handling the
District budget. He succeeds
the late Representative Rabaut,
Democrat of Michigan.
Because of the questionable
outcome of a revenue bill, city
officials will send up two bud
gets to Mr.. Natcher's commit
tee-one based on available
revenue, the other assuming
passage of additional taxes.
Spending in the current fiscal
year will total about $265 mil
lion. The fiscal '63 budget es-
Inmates, counting on additional
taxes, range slightly below $500
million.
The Senate Appropriations
subcommittee, headed by Sen
ator Byrd, Democrat of West
virginia, again Will be search
ing for fat in the welfare
budget.
Welfare Probe
Senator Byrd has promised
a continuous probe of welfare
practices and also will be re-
ceiving reports from a special
team of investigators on
whether freeloaders exist on
local welfare rolls.
Other committees will be
handling a variety of measures
involving the Washington area.
Representative Matthias, Re-
publican of Maryland, will be
pushing for the CS5O Canal
bill, passed by the Senate. The
would turn the area
crossed by the canal into a
national park. The land runs
from Cumberland, Md, to
Washington.
Evening star., 1962-01-01

1t matters little what the
cation or taxes. The result is
that most District legislation,
some Of critical Importance,
is either hopelessly deadlocked
in conference or apparently
headed in that direction.
Outside of furnishing resi-
dents with the machinery with
which to vote for President
and Vice President in 1864, the
two committees agreed on little
last year. They failed to pass
a revenue bill-still in confer
ence-and continue miles apart
on juvenile court bills to ease
the handling of juvenile prob
lens.
JObless Bill Stalled
The two approaches to local
problems followed by each COM
mittee is also reflected in the
impasso over a change in the
Districts unemployment COM
penSation law. The House bill
provides an increase in jobless
pay-from $50 a week for 26
weeks, to $38 for the same
period. But the Senate bill
carries weekly benefits of SAT
for "a weeks.
The same is true of two bills
designed to tighten the law
controlling indecent publica-
tions. The House bill is enough,
it was said in hearings on the
bill, to ban Romeo and Juliet.
The Senate bill is mild in COM
parison.
While negotiations on bills in
conference probably will take up
most of the time of committee
members as the session gets
under way, other bills that have
survived either a Senate or
House vote are scheduled for
additional examination.
One bill which slid easily
through the House may be in
trouble on the Senate side. The
so-called stand-up drinking
bill, pending before the Sen
ate District Committee, has
attracted criticism. Letters to
the committee reveal a num-
ber of mattresses are opposed
because they feel it will result
in a loss of tips. Temperance
advocates have Joined the wait
resses in opposition, convinced
the bill encourages drinking.
Home Rule Up
The measure would allow
those waiting to be served
dinner in a restaurant to drink
cocktails standing up in an
enclosure. Today's law requires
that one be seated in public
before being served spiritous
liquors.
The new session will prob
ably see another struggle over
home rule legislation. Late in
the last session. the White
House sent mp its proposal for
an elected mayor, city council
and non-voting delegate in the
House. Pressure for action on
the bill never materialized and
it is pending in a subcommit-
tee. The House District Com
mittee also received several
home rule proposals and placed
them. traditionally. in the
cooler.
Advocates of self-rule for the
District have pledged a cam
paign for home rule in 1862.
But coming at the same time
will be legislation designed to
provide for an elected, non-
voting delegate to represent To-
cal citizens in the House. The
legislation still is being drafted
and probably will be introduced
early in the session. 1t is not
yet clear which House commit
tee will receive the bill. 1t
could go to either the Judiciary
or District Committee.
Crime Bills Pending

IDREDGE FIRM
| FOR SHELLS
| AWAITS NOD
N. G. Shell Products Inc. Is
Ready to Begin With
Sound Dredging

Officers of N. C. Shell Prod
ucts Inc, the company expect
ed to be given authorization fol-
a pilot oyster shell dredging
project in Albemarle Sound, held
a preliminary discussion of the
anticipated job in Elizabeth City
on Wednesday.
President Walton C. Jennette
said, after the meeting, that "We
can't decide anything until the
word comes down from Ra.
leigh"
The designation of a firm to
conduct the test dredging has
not yet been made by Conser-
walton and Development Direc-
tor Hargrove Bowles, who is
expected to give the nod to N.
C.. Shell within the week.
The C&D Board authorized
the study and test dredge or
July 10, despite numerous pro-
tests from wildlife organiza-
tions, sportsmen and CONNER
cial fishing interests. The prof
ect is supposed to test the feas-
ibility of mining the shells
which are thought to exist in
quantities estimated in millions
of tons. The tests are expected
to indicate whether the dredg-
ing will be harmful to fish
and aquatic plants.
The N. C. Shell Products firm
was organized in Elizabeth City
in 1859 for the purpose of
dredging for shells and grinding
them into poultry feed. The COM
pany is expected to sell addi-
tional stock to finance the pilot
project, if given approval.
Lorimer Midget, C&D Board
member, has stated that the test
should not take "more than 80
days" and indicated recently
that the project will be scien-
tifcally controlled under care
full state supervision.
Jennette, Shells president,
stated that, if his firm is award
ed mining rights, it will employ
from 1O0-125 men in Elizabeth
City for a grinding project
would include a dredge and
| transportation barge operation.

Lloyd Meekins, Jr., both colored
i of Manteo, resulted in bruises
for both, and a subsequent fine
of S. and costs for each, during
Tuesdays session Of Recorders
Court before Judge w. F. Baum,
Erline Daniels had accused
Meekins of assaulting her with
a deadly weapon on the after
noon of June 8 while she was at
the home of her mother, Vessie
Gibbs, "minding my own bust
ness" Mrs. Daniels could offer
no explanation for the alleged
assault with a 80 x 80 shotgun,
but acknowledged that the de-
fendant "must have been drunk
Mrs. Daniels, explained that
she was sitting in a rocking
chair on the front porch of her
mothers home when Meekins
assailed her with his fists. "He
hit me a lot on the face" she
said, "then he ran into the bed
room and was screaming and
hollering."
Mrs. Daniels stated that Lloyd
Meekins' father attempted to
take the shotgun from his son,
after the defendant had grabbed
it from beneath a mattress in the
room he was occupying at his
mother-in-law's home.
Mrs. Daniels explained that
during the struggle which follow
ed, she hit the defendant with
a gallon can and that her
mother, Vessie Gibbs, hit him
while his father struggled to
take the gun away.
Mrs. Vessie Gibbs, Mrs. Dan
iels' mother, supported her
daughters testimony, but could
not remember having seen the
defendant actually point the gun
at Mrs. Daniels. She stated that
she did not recall ripping the
shirt from the back of the de-
fendant.

sault upon him. The defendant
explained that he had gone to
the home of Mrs. Gibbs, his
mother-in-law, to change clothes
which he had soiled with gar
bage, in order to visit his sick
wife in Columbia.
Meekins stated that he had
been living at his mother-in-law's
home for about three months. He

Christmas Trees
Can cedar trees be planted
and be an economical venture
on Roanoke Island? This idea
was discussed thoroughly with
Ed Jones, Extension Forestry
Specialist from State College,
who came down to help advise
the Dare County Extension Serv-
ice on this project.
Andy Griffith, who owns so
acres of land on Roanoke Is
land, is interested in trying this
venture. According to Jones
there are several problems and
risks involved in planting cedars
for Christmas tree production.
The two main problems are: (D
Cedars are susceptible to a Sc
we're fungus disease which is
deadly; (2) the competition for
a market is keen. These facts
will be presented to Griffith.
However, the specialist indicat-
ed that the fungus problem is
worse in older trees and might
not be a severe problem with
young trees of Christmas tree
age.

Abortion MurderCount
Holds Doctor for Action

A Fairfax County physician
has been held for the grand
jury on charges of abortion
and murder in the Christmas
day death of a Wet Namese
coed from the University of
Maryland.
County Court Judge J, Mason
Grove found probable cause to
hold DR.. Thomas G. Boisclair.
40, for a special Thursday
session of the Fairfax grand
jury after day-lang hearing
yesterday. DR.. BoiSclair re-
mained free on $4,000 bond.
Detective Sergt. Charles Baes-
gen testified that Cecil Sweeney,
a student at the University of
Maryland told him he gave
DR.. Boisclair's name to the
victim, Miss Huynh Thu

purpose of having an abortion"
Testimony by Nguyen x.
Dien, %, of 1925 Rosemary
Hills drive, Silver Spring, Md,
who identified himself as a
correspondent for the official
Wet Namese news agency,
showed Miss Huynh had made
several trips to DR.. Boisclaire's
office at 6821 North Thirty
first street, Fairfax County.
Mr.. Diem told the court he
took Miss Huynh to DR.. Bois-
clair's office several times,
starting at the latter part of
November but that on Deem
Der IA, when the alleged abor-
tion occurred, he met her at the
office.
Mr.. Diem said he found the
girl lying on a cot and covered
by a sheet and that he had to
help her walk to his car. He
said he took her to his apart
ment where she stayed for three
days so he could watch over
her.
He said he took her back to
the doctors office on December
81 and at that time Miss Huynh
asked Mr.. Dien to lend her $50
to pay a 500 doctor bill.
Two days later, Mr.. Dien said,
he met Miss Huynh at a party
for Wet Namese at a Washing
ton church and they later went
to a private party, where the
girl became violently i'll and
had to be carried to his car.
The next day the doctor
visited Miss Huynh at her
apartment and suggested she

treatment, Mr.. Diem said.
