2d Doctor Says Mother Is Of Sound Mind; Jury |
Gets Case Tonight.
LAFAYETTE, Ind, March 30 (U. P.) —Taking of testimony in the trial of Mrs. Virginia Leslie on charges of assault and battery against a teacher who allegedly had chastised her son was completed today. Judge W. L. Parkinson of Tippecanoe circuit court scheduled arguments for this afternoon. The case was expected to go to the jury tonight. Dr. C. H. Buhrmester, one of two physicians appointed by the court to test Mrs. Leslie's sanity, was the last witness. He said she was sane when he examined her last Monday. Called of Sound Mind
The other physician, Dr. Clarence H. Rommell, testified Saturday that, in his opinion, Mrs. Leslie was of
sound mind on Feb. 27, the day she stormed into the fifth grade room of Longlois school and lashed the teacher, Miss Constance Davis, with a belt. The attack, which has not been denied by the defense, took place after the Leslies’ 11-year-old son, Danny, had run home and told his parents that Miss Davis had hit him on the head with a book.
Collapsed on Stand Mrs. Leslie collapsed on the witness stand while she was being questioned by her own attorney, Francis J. Murphy. “Why do you have to prosecute— I mean persecute me — me?” she shouted at him. Mr. Murphy had just asked her whether she remembered what happened Feb. 27. Finally Mrs. Leslie composed herself and said: “Miss Davis looked so terribly tall. I just went ‘haywire’ and everything that had taken place with Danny came to my mind.”
Court Recessed
Thereupon Mrs. Leslie sobbed hysterically, and court was recessed for an hour. A physician attended her before she returned to the witness stand. On her second appearance on the stand, Mrs. Leslie was calmer, and she told, under questioned by her attorney, of violent headaches, nervous disorders and trouble with her left eye, which, she said, had been affected by diphtheria. She said the eye frequently gets into a rotary motion and she has no control over it. Mrs. Leslie said her eye rotated that day in school room.

UPHOLDS STATE BAN ON PICKETS
High Court Says Lines Can Be Confined Directly To Disputed Point.
WASHINGTON, March 30 (U, P.) —The supreme court, by a 5 to 4 division, ruled today that states may prohibit peaceful picketing which is not confined directly to the labor dispute from which it grew. The ruling came in a decision upholding a Texas state court injunction which barred two A. F. of L. unions from picketing a Houston cafe. Two other labor rulings were unanimous. One held that enactment of the national labor relations law did not prevent states from enacting their own labor peace statutes, specifically Wisconsin's. The other set aside a New York state court injunction which prohibited peaceful picketing in a New York City labor controversy. In the Texas case, Justice Felix Frankfurter delivered the majority opinion in which Chief Justice Harlan Fiske Stone and Justices Owen J. Roberts, James F. Byrnes and Robert H. Jackson concurred. Justices Hugo L. Black, William 'O. Douglas, Frank Murphy and Stanley F. Reed dissented. The picketing in question was
“I saw Rose Ferguson (another teacher who was said to have punfjshed Danny) and Miss Bee Smith | choking Danny. . I heard them! ridiculing Danny for things he hadnt done.” Miss Davis was called back to the| stand, and testified that the other | two teachers were not in the room at the time. Arthur Leslie, 47, a World war veteran, testified that he believed his wife to be of unsound mind. He is a co-defendant, being charged with acting as an accomplice.
MEN STILL CRUCIFY GOD, RECTOR SAYS
Men still “crucify the Son of God and put Him to open shame,” the Rev. BE Ainger Powell, rector, declared today in the first of a series of Holy Week services at Christ church. The rector pleaded for a more realistic attitude on the part of Christians toward the passion of Christ, declaring that the sight of the crucifix should provoke the question: “Did I do that?” Tomorrow the rector will speak on “The Sacrifice in Gethsemane.”
SIGNS NEW DEBT LIMIT
WASHINGTON, March 30 (U. P). —President Roosevelt today signed the bill raising the federal statutory debt limit from $65,000,000,000 to $125,000,000,000 to enable the treasury to finance war expenditures which will exceed $4,000,000,000 a month. Officials said the national debt would go beyond $70,000,000,000

Dies May Face After Duel
WASHINGTON, March 30 (U.P).
comparison of Rep. Martin Dies (D. Tex.) with Nazi propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels suggested today a vigorous fight in the house soon when Rep. Dies’ com-
mittee on un-American activities seeks funds to phuinie its investigation. Mr. Dies provoked Mr. Wallace's statement by sending him a letter charging that 35 offiicials of the board of economic warfare had Communist front affiliations. Mr. Wallace is chairman of the BEW. Mr. Wallace replied that such statements from Mr. Dies and “others of his kind with an intense itch for publicity” might as well come from Goebbels. The effect on morale would be less damaging, he said, “if Mr Dies were on the Hitler payroll.”
Refuses to Be Silenced
Mr. Dies answered from his Jasper, Tex, home with the statement that he would “not be silenced by any attempt to impugn my motives.” “Mr. Wallace accuses me of smearing, yet he attempts to smear me by impugning my patriotism,” Mr. Dies said. Mr. Dies’ committee recently was voted authorization by the house to continue for another year. But no funds have been voted yet and Mr. Dies is se®king $500,000. Extension of the committee was vigorously contested by Mr. Dies’ opponents, but the final vote was over-
Mr. Wallace’s attack, the most outspoken by a high administration official in a long time, is expected
Facts Distorted, Wallace Says
Mr. Wallace accused Mr. Dies of seeking to “inflame the public mind by a malicious distortion of facts.” “These tactics could be overlooked as the product of a witch-craft mind. We are not at peace, however. We are at war , . . “These are the most critical times in our history. It is the sollemn duty of all patriotic citizens to fight the enemy within our gates who hide under many cloaks, the most insidious of which is a false patriotism “Any man who seeks tc undermine faith in our government by a malicious misuse of facts is a greater danger to our national safety than thousands of axis soldiers within our boarders. Hitler and the Japs know better than anyone else. “I trust that Mr. Dies and others of his kind with an intense itch for publicity will use their talents to help the united nations win this war, rather than stir up discord among patriotic Americans.” Mr. Dies, in his letter to Mr. Wallace, called for immediate resignation or dismissal of the 35 BEW officials whom he said were affiliated with communist organizations.
He said the outstandifig official

House Fight With Wallace
Parmelee, a $5600-a-year economist for the BEW and an author of several books “Rgvoluticnary in Viewpoint,” including “Nudism in Modern Life.” Mr. Dies charged that Parmelee’s book on nudism contained 35 photographs “all of which are obscene” and that the vodlume “is an attack upon the moral structure of our society and upon the church and religion.” In the nudist society which Mr. Dies said Parmelee envisages “convent and monastery, harem and military barrack, clubs and schools exclusively for each sex will disappear, and the sexes will live a more normal and happier life together.” “Surely, Mr. Vice President, there is no place in a post-war planning agency for a person who advocated such a crackpot and immoral plan,” Mr. Dies wrote Mr. Wallace. “At least, there is no place in such an agency for such an outstanding advocate of nudism.” Mr. Wallace replied that he had never head of Parmeiee until Saturday but that he had been advised he was hired “because of responsible work he did in London on blockade control for the United States war trade board during the last war.” Mr. Wallace charged that Dies’ description of Parmelee’s book was a quotation from a federal district court opinion which was later overruled by a court of appeals. Others Listed by Dies The court of appeals, Mr. Wallace said, held that the book “as a whole is not obscene” and that Parmelee “has been known for many years as a well qualified writer in the field of sociology.” Mr. Wallace said he was ready at all times to have any and every fact regarding his empioyees thoroughly investigated. In addition to Parmelee, Dies charged these other board employees were affiliated at one time with the former American League for Peace and Democracy which, he said, had been controlled by Communists: C. Hartley Grattan, $5600 economic analyst — author of a book in which Mr. Dies charges the author predicts world communism after the second world war. T. A. Bisson, $5600 economic analyst—contributor according to Mr. Dies of many articles for the magazine “Soviet Russia Today.” Kendall Foss, $5600 analyst— formerly with the rural electrification administration. Sigmund Timbert, $5600 analyst— allegedly an early sponsor of the league. David Vaughn, $6500 head administrative officer—alleged sponsor of the league. Abe M. Draisner, $2600 assistant intelligence analyst—member of the league. Eugene Staley, board consultant— allegedly sponsored China aid council of the league.

Indianapolis will hold daily Holy Week services both downtown and in neighborhood churches. Holy Week opened yesterday with Palm Sunday which commemorates Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Thousands crowded the churches where blessed palms were distributed. Vested choirs of children and adults sang; infants and older folk were baptized, and many new members were received into the churches. Next Sunday, the festive note of Palm Sunday will swell to a vast hymn of praise sweeping over the whole city as Indianapolis marks Faster, the most joyous day of the Christian year.
Daily Service on Circle
Between the two Sundays, fall the more somber days of Holy Week climaxed by Good Friday, the day Christ hung on the cross. This year, mankind is dramatizing the crucifixion, with its tragic connotations of suffering and death, by waging a world war. Accordingly, church people expect the worshipping throngs of Holy Week to be larger than ever before. On the Circle, daily services will be held, at noon through Thursday and from 12 o'clock until 3 Good Friday afternoon, both at English’s and Christ church. The noonday Lenten devotions will continue and there will be Good Friday threeheur services at St. John’s Catholic church downtown. Also on Good Friday, the Knights of Columbus will sponsor the Way of the Cross devotions from 2:30 to 3 p. m. in the war memorial plaza. “Victory Through Sacrifice” is the theme of English’s theater services sponsored by the church: federation. Today, Dr. C. A. McPheeters was to give the opening sermon, “The Sword Pierced Heart,” and the Rev. Charles Armantrout was to lead the devotions.
Services Maundy Thursday
At English’s tomorrow, the Rev. Theodore Fisher will deliver the address, “The Shadow in the Background,” when the Rev. Edward K. Hardy will lead devotions. Bishop Fred L. Dennis of the United Brethren Northwest area will speak on “The Unfaltering Spirit” with Dr. L. C. Trent in charge of devotions Wednesday. Thursday, Dr. Homer E. Turney will be the preacher, his subject, “Unconscious Prophecy,” and the devotional leader, the Rev. W. J. Yoder. So far, during Lent, two guest speakers have been presented each week at the noonday services in Christ church, but all through holy week, both for the daily services at noon and the three-hour program on Good Friday, the Rev. E. Ainger Powell, rector, will occupy his own pulpit. Candlelight communion, celebrated in the evening and early morning on Maundy Thursday, will be a prelude to Good Friday among Protestants. Maundy Thursday, or Holy Thursday, recalls the evening before the crucifixion when Jesus partook of the last supper with His disciples and inaugurated the Holy Communion. Catholics will receive the communion av masses on Holy Thurs. day, as they do every day of the year except Good Friday.
Stress Need for Repentance
Visiting evangelists are holding Holy Week meetings, stressing the need for repentance and a “new life within.” Among these is Dr. Raphael H. Miller, editor of the Christian Evangelist, St. Louis, who is the guest of his son, the Rev. Raphael H. Miller Jr., pastor of the Linwood Christian chufch. Dr, La Verne Taylor of Springfield, Ill, is at the Englewood Christian church, the Rev. R. L.
