Judge Thomas C. Scalley OF
the Court of Generals Sessions
today denied an appeal by
Philadelphia authorities to
order a former city councilman
now studying for the priest
hood in Washington to return
there to appear before a grand
jury. :,
The grand jury has been
conducting a nine-month In
vestigation into alleged irregu-
larities in coming matters.
The former councilman, John
M. McDevitt, served on the
Philadelphia City Council from
1855 until 1862 when he re-
signed to take up studies for
the priesthood with the Oblates
of st. Francis.
Came Here in August
After a years study at Balti-
more, he came to the graduate
study house at Catholic Uni
versity in August.
Judge Scalley ruled that
ordering Mr.. McDevitt to APP
pear before the grand jury
would constitute a hardship on
him in violation of Federal law.
Charles H. Rogovin. chief as
sistant district attorney of
Philadelphia, said that Mr..
McDevitt had been active on a

He said there was no sHgges-
ton that Mr.. McDeyitt had
done. anything Illegal but the
grand jury wished 20 gather as
much information as possible
and has already interviewed
scores of political figures.
Judge Explains Decision
! Judge Scalley said that his
decision was based in part on
this information. Since so
many others had already testi-
fled, he said he saw no reason
to require Mr.. McDevitt to
appear.
The Rev. John j. Conmy,
head of the religious order
with headquarters in Whining
ton, Del, said if Mr.. McDevitt
were to appear before the
grand jury this would place a
question in the minds of some
as to why he had joined the
order.
He said the appearance with
all the accompanying publicity
would possibly restrict the fu-
ture activities Of Mr.. McDevitt,
once he had, been ordained.
Mr.. McDevitt's age was given
to reporters as about 40.

Glasses are held on the

of the school is the Institute

The students range in age
from SIS to SO. They are re-

tirement and a chance to do
some gardening. After two
weeks, I was sick of it,"
The Rambler walked
through the school the other
day. In a small room, there
were about 20 women and
one man furiously tipping:

The man was a retired
school principal. Up until
now, he had always been a
two-fingered typist. He had
decided to learn the touch

All he got,on his transister was
rock and roll. Late one night,
he picked up a Miami station
which gave great details Of
Hurricane Beulah except
where she was.
Mr.. Jablonski heard a report
six hours later, and this time
Beulah's position was given.
The hurricane was only so miles
away. Mr.. Jablonski put up a
storm jib and drifted through
the night, until the fringe Of
the storm struck the Amethyst.
Coast Guard Helps
After Beulah passed by there
was a calm. About five miles

to start the engine for six
hours. 1t wouldn't start. I'm a

Mr.. Jablonski, who resorted to
a canoe paddle. II wasn't sue

After more days OF rough
seas and sleeping in soaked
clothes, Mr.. Jablonski sailed
past Cape Henry. Va. He
dropped anchor for a night,
and a northeaster parted his
anchor line. He signaled for
help. the Coast Guard came
and towed him to a Norfolk
marina.
Mr.. Jablonski, who now
hopes to sell his boat and get
a larger one. said he thought
OF little while blowing home
with the Amethyst. In a mas
terful understatement he said
II was quite busy all along

There are easier ways to get

ley Jablonski's method.
He started out alone from
Gdansk, Poland, in a 30-foot
sail boat last June, and 5000
miles and lot days later he
hit the Chesapeake Bay. Along
the way, he snapped a mast,
broke an anchor, lost his
auxiliary motor, fought with
some Germans and tangled
with Hurricane Beulah.

Harrisonto Oppose
State Poll Tax Bar
Special Session
Can't Take Up
Levy, He Says
BY ALEX r. PRESTON
Star Staff Writer


RICHMOND, Sept. 27.-Gov.
Harrison made it clear today
that he would exert all the
influence of his office to pre-
vent a special session of the
Virginia General Assembly
from taking up repeal of the
State poll tax.
He told his press conference
it would be utter folly" for a
special session he expects to
call in November to begin the
complicated process of elimi-
mating the poll tax as qualifica-
ton for voting in State and
local elections.
Probably in November
The special session, which
he indicated probably will be
called November 10, will be
asked to enact new voter reg
istration qualifications in Fed
eral elections-for President
and members of Congress. This
is because of the expected rat
ification early next year of an
amendment to the United
States Constitution outlaw the
tax in Federal elections.
State legislators from the
Norfolk area as well as Virginia
Republicans have asked for re-
peal Of the tax in all elections.
A reporter reminded Gov.
Harrison that his critics have
assailed him on grounds he has
not discussed the poll tax issue
forcefully and fully.
"It's very difficult for a man
in politics to silence his critics,
even if that were desirable"
the Governor said, smiling. IT
think it is important for the
people to realize that a special
session Of the General Assem-
bly, should not be concerned
with the poll tax, something
that is too deeply imbedded in
the tradition Of Virginia"
Six-MOnth Requirement
The Governor Is expected to
recommend that the special
session enact legislation re-
quiring voter registration six
months in advance of the cleo
tionS.
The Governor was asked to
comment on the appeal by the
Rev. Martin Luther King for
a Christmas boycott of stores
that discriminate and for
stepped-up demonstrations in
DanVllle, va.
Il don't think the interest
OF Virginia would be well served
by entering that controversy"
Gov. Harrison replied. For
years my views on race rela-
lions have been well known.
I've said that if discrimination
exists anywhere in Virginia it
should be eliminated.
II just don't think the racial
situation in Virginia will be
helped by the Governor making
statements in response to Mar
tin Luther King or anyone
else"
