From Chevy Chase
Mr.. Mitchell, a native of
Chevy Chase, Md, and a grad
uate Of the University of Mary
land, was city manager in Cul-
yer City, Calf, and manager
of MARBLE Township, Pa, before
taking the job here. He told the
city council:
II love this city AMI would
have liked to have spent the
rest of my life here serving
the City Council and its peo-
pie.
Cites Regrets
However, I must move on.
Time and tide wait for no man.
I leave this city with great
personal regrets"
Mr.. Mitchell commended
throughout the welfare-code
controversy that the crack
down was intended primarily
to weed chislers from relief
rolls Of this city of $1,000.
Some organizations and Ne
gro leaders commended the
breakdown was aimed primarily
at Negro migrants who have
settled here in recent years.
Mr.. Mitchell denied this.
One of the most controver-
sial points in Mr.. Mitchell's
welfare code denied relief to
unwed mothers who continued
to bear children out of we'd
lock.
Another was denial of relief
to able-bodied men who re-
fused to work for the city.
The only point not strapped
by the State Supreme Court
was a requirement that relief
recipients report once a month
to the welfare office.

Even though the official
mourning for the late Presi-
dent Kennedy win terminate
on December "a, 1t Is an
obvious fact that this great
tragedy will cast its shadow
over the usual Christmas
festivities.
From the written inquiries
I have received; 1t would
seem that most Of the enter
tanning will turn toward
informal get-togethers Of
families and friends.
The plaintive question
asked by many readers has
been: How to entertain
groups 50 they will enjoy
themselves, and at the same
time manage to entertain
inexpensively7"
My answer to this Is serve
buffet style" It Is an easy
relaxed kind Of entertaining
that everyone enjoys. even
the hostess. Here are some
ideas relative to serving this
help yourself" way.
What are the advantages
Of buffet service7 It Is easier
in every way because 1t calls
for simpler foods and fewer
courses than sit-at-table
meals.
The hostess may prepare
everything ahead Of time
and It Ii o simple matter to
place the different foods on
the table shortly before the
guests arrive. Il also cuts
down the time that O hostess
has to spend running back
and forth to the kitchen.
Does buffet service call for
special types Of food7 In 3
way. yes.
It Is more convenient for
the guests II food Is selected
that is easy to self-serve,
with minimum content to
spill, or run, on the plate.
Also, it Is advisable to have
foods for which o knife is not
necessary. II serving meat.
be sure that 1t Is sliced In
small pieces before placing
on the table. The reason for
this Is that usually there Is
not room for . guest to sit
down, and obviously 1t Is
impossible to cut anything
with one hand while holding
the dish with the other! A
hot casserole, creamed chick
en- or seafood, for example,
and a tasty salad are so easy
to prepare and to serve that
they are ideal for guests to
handle with ease.
Does the host Tor hostess)
ever serve the food from q
buffet table? Yes.
For example, the host may
carve, and serve, the meat.
1t Is simpler though, as I
mentioned above, to have
this done In the kitchen be-
fore the party starts. The
hostess may serve the cas-
serole or the salad II she
wishes, but letting the guests
help themselves Is the most
satisfactory course to pursue.
II there Is room, Is 1t all
right to have card tables
placed around so the guests
may sit2 This Is an ideal
arrangement If 1t can be
worked. Unfortunately, there
usually isn't room and the
guests must stand. II this Is
the case, don't forget q very
important procedure that
should be followed at all
parties. Have servants, or
close friends. empty ashtrays
and carry away used plates
and glassware. Nothing gives
a more cluttered appearance
than OVERLOOKING ashtrays
and used eating utensils. So
don't hesitate to ask q friend
to pitch in and help keep the
dining room from looking
like a used picnic ground.

Leaps to Death

One Of the last thoughts OF
77-year-old John Berry before
he plunged to his death from
the Calvert Street Bridge early
today was that he be buried
in his good dark suit.
Mr.. Berry, a carpenter, had
a note in his pocket when police
got to him on the roadway be-
low. The note gave his name,
an address in the HOO block
of Morse street NE. and told
where his good suit was to be
found for his burial.

Bernard Kelly and Frank
Eccles said the note explained
that Mr.. Berry had been in Ill

He was taken to D. c. Genera

New Arrest Power
Asked byMcMiIIan
Introduces Bill
Exposing Court
On Questioning

A bill to permit Washington
police to detain a suspect for
questioning without court per-
mission and without charging
hi mwith a crime has been
introduced by Chairman Nc
MILAN of the House District
Committee.
The measure runs counter TO
principal points in the District
Commissioners plan for dealing
with the question OF arrests
without charges.
Arrests for investigation will
be stopped March is under an
order issued last week by the
Commissioners.
AS a substitute, the Commits
sioners will seek legislation to
set up a new procedure for
questioning persons without
arresting them.
Authority of Police
The major difference be-
tween the Commissioners pro-
posal and the bill introduced
by Representative Mcmillan,
Democrat of South Carolina,
concerns the authority of po-
lice to question a suspect.
Under Mr.. McMillan's bill. a
policeman without court APP
proval would be authorized to
detain any person whom he
has reasonable ground to sus-
Ipect is committing, has COM
mitted or is about to commit
a crime. :"
Under the Commissioners
plan, an investigating officer
| first would have to ask a pros
ecutor to apply for a subpoena
to bring the person in for ques-
tioning. There would be a
court hearing during which the
person would be warned Of his
constitutional right against
standardization.
Both proposals would limit
the questioning period to six
hours.
Detention Of Witnesses
The Commissioners will seek
separate legislation covering
detention of a material witness.
Mr.. McMillan's bill, which is
the same measure introduced
during the last Congress by
former Representative James
c. Davis of Georgia, includes
provisions on detention of wit
, lnesSeS.
Two other bills aimed at aid
ing the fight against crime in
Washington have been intro
duced by Mr.. Mcmillan.
One would attempt to clarity
the Mallory decision which
ruled out a confession because
of seven-hour delay between
arrest and arraignment. The
other bill would try TO ease the
impact of the Durham court
rule, which deals with insanity
as defense in criminal cases.
Both measures have been in
troduced in previous sessions,
but have failed to win enact
ment.

plan of some kind in Maryland,
Most of the testimony ia
vored a State owned and OPP
Grated inspection system, but
Gov. Tawes says he has serious
doubts on whether the State
should spend the Sc million 1t
would cost.
The plan which appeared to
satisfy the Governor today was
one advanced by Secretary of
State Lloyd L. Simpkins pro-
viding that cars be inspected
before they are sold and that
spot checks of vehicles be held
on the highways.
Strong Resistance
Despite a strong plea for
State owned and operated sta
tons from most of the speakers
at the hearing yesterday, there
appeared to be strong resist
ance in the General Assembly
to spending that much money
After the hearing, Gov
Tawes said he would go along
with a compromise plan. In his
state-of- the-State message to
the General Assembly on OPEN
ing day, the Governor indicated
he supported the legislative
councils proposal.
