ME. 3440 Navy Starts Revision Of Legal Procedure After Board Probe i Improvement of the Navy’s legal and disciplinary systems has been j initiated as a result of recommenda tions by a board appointed to study ; the matter, the report of which has just been made public, the Navy Department announced yesterday. ! Some of the proposed changes will require legislation, and Rear Ad miral O. S. Colclough, Judge Advo cate General of the Navy, has been directed to prepare proposed legis lation to modernize the basic laws of the Navy and to authorize the Secretary of the Navy to prescribe rules for court-martial procedure. The board recommended the for mation of a special corps of legally trained officers, such as is now pro vided for other staff corps, such as the Medical Cprps; that the num ber of officers on general courts martial be reduced from 13 to 9; that judge advocates of courts-mar tial be distinct from prosecutors, and that prosecutors furnish advice 'to the court and to the accused; that the law relating to the jurisdic tion of naval courts should be re stated and recast in the interest of clarity and definiteness. Civilian on Review Board. It recommended that boards of review which examine court-mar tial proceedings in the Navy De partment be composed of at least one civilian witfr legal background, PARAVOX New HEARING AID COMPACT, assures COMFORT and 1-MINUTE SERVICE With the new "Hide-Away" Ear Mold—(patent pending).

THOMPSON’S 732 3‘&H-W Office hours: 11 to 6 p.m. one naval lawyer, and one or more general service officers of mature judgment. The board also recommended that the powers of summary courts mar tial, now limited to assessing pen alties of confinement not exceeding two months and loss of pay not ex ceeding three months, be increased. The expansion In authortiy would give such courts power to sentence convicted personnel to bad conduct discharges, confinement for a pe riod not exceeding six months, for a period not exceeding 30 days, or. solitary confinement on bread and water with full ration every third day for a period not exceeding 10 days; reduction to the next inferior rating; deprivation of liberty on shore for a period not exceeding 60 days, and confinement for a period not exceeding three months, and loss of pay not exceeding three months. Announce Sentences Immediately. The board expressed the opinion that such a scale of punishments would reduce the number of gen eral courts martial. It also expressed the opinion that sentences on con viction should be announced Im mediately upon completion of the trial, instead of being withheld un tu the reviewing authority acts. “The board,” the report said, "be lieved that if these changes are adopted and are Implemented as suggested, the various criticisms leveled against the court martial system will be met and that a sweeping revision of the Articles for the Government of the Navy will not be necessary." The board was headed by Arthur A. Ballentine of New York. The other members were Justice Mat thew F. McGuire of the District Court of the United States for the District of Columbia; Prof. Noel T. Dowling of Columbia University; Maj. Gen. Thomas E. Watson, U. S. M. C.; Rear Admiral George L. Russell, U. S. N.; Rear Admiral John E. Gingrich, U. S. N.; Rear Ad miral George C. Dyer, U. S.

L. Sherman Acquires Unusual Majolica Collection Mrs, Beatrice Wright Sherman holds a Wedgwood fish platter while surrounded by a part of her collection. __ —Star Staff Photo. By Jessie Fanf*Evons n. connoisseur, seeKing duplicates of museum pieces, or a bride intent on reveling in completely matched sets of unusual tableware would have equal delight in the majolica collec tion of Mrs. Arthur L. Sherman of the Westchester Apartments. Considered one of the most un usual private collections in the United States, it has many rare and lovely pieces which add charm and colorful, decorative effect to the Sherman household. It is comprised of many complete table services in various patterns, representative of the different types and kinds of American and English majolica ware. Beatrice Wright Sherman's Eng lish Wedgwood majolica is espe cially notable for the beauty of its lines and the individuality of its coloring. A punch bowl of cobalt blue with the prunis blossom on its sides and a luster lining of tur quoise blue is exquisite. A large, graceful swan flower container is reminiscent of the Wagnerian swan boat in its beauty. In the same useful, decorative class is a large fish platter in the famous shell and seaweed pattern, a heron erergne, and a sardine dish with a lid and tray. Fascinating, too, are the dol phin candlesticks with sea foam bases, and another set of candle sticks in a humorous vein, featuring frogs dressed up as dandies wearing cocked hats. Owls Support Books. Two owl. pitchers serve as book ends and a rooster against a barn yard scene holds pens and pencils on Mr. Sherman's desk. One of her husband's ••finds,’’ in Northern Ore gon, is an unusual type of pitcher, showing boys playing baseball on one side of its surface and football on the other. Models of human beings are seldom seen on majolica. The range of Mrs. Sherman’s more than 500 catalogued and classified pieces is from tiny ones, such as open salt containers, to two um brella stands. A swan paper weight is the duplicate of one in the Smith sonian Museum. Unusual is a wall bracket out of the famous Holland House in New York just before it was torn down. Unusual pieces in her collection also include a three-piece tea set in thf ‘‘House'’ design copied from the old Leeds pattern, an asparagus platter of which she has never seen a duplicate, an English dessert serv ice in the alligator hide border with a b* relief of central figures and two complete sets of oyster plates in the Minton pattern. Prized Pieces Used. Unlike most collectors of china, Mrs. Sherman uses even her most prized pieces in the course of her daily living. All are reminders of the places where they have been acquired in almost every part of this country. Her first purchase, a pitcher, was made 21 years ago in Foxbury, Mass., for the benefit of an old ladies’ home. Attracted to it because of the lovely color of its inside glaze, it still con tinues to be one of the choice pieces in her large collection. Her most recent acquisition was made only a few weeks ago in nearby Virginia. It, too, is a pitcher with Cleopatra's Needle shown on its shining surface. Mrs. Sherman believes majolica is now coming into its own from the interior decorator's point of view, and that it is still possible to pick up interesting and attractive items at reasonable prices. Dutch Girl Keeps Promise To Tend D. C. Pilot's Grave “I promise you that I win take, care of the grave of Lt. Corkrean as well as possible." A photograph of tulips massed be fore a white cross which bears the name, "W. H. Corkrean," and a serial number is evidence that Fe Fleischener of Oirsbeck, Holland, is keeping her promise. Because of the picture and fre quent letters from the young Dutch girl, the bereavement of Mr. and Mrs. William H. Corkrean. 2514 Pal mer place S.E.,’has been eased. For nearly two years, they did not know the resting place of their son. a first lieutenant in the Army Air Forces, who was shot down May 11, 1944. as he piloted a bomber on what was to have been his 25th and final mission before coming home on leave. Wrote to Commander. When he finally was notified that Lt. Corkrean was buried in the United States Military Cemetery at Margratin, near Oirsbeck, Mr. Cork rean, a real estate broker, recalled that he had plodded with the in fantry only 40 miles from there in World War I. He wrote to the ceme tery commander, who gave his ad dress to the Dutch civilian commit tee which had interested itself in caring for the graves individually. The first letter from Miss Fleisch ener arrived shortly thereafter. Although she has not given her age, the volunteer caretaker has told of completing high school and studying in the first year of col lege. so Mr. Corkrean believes she is 18 or 19. Miss Fleischener also Rail Receivership Order Challenged in U. S. Court By the Associated Press CHICAGO, June 29 —The Toledo, Peoria & Western Railroad today told the United States Circuit Court of Appeals that a Federal District Court decision ordering appoint ment of a receiver for the strike bound line was “without warrant in law.” This statement was made in a 74 page brief appealing the June 6 decision of Federal Judge J. Leroy Adair at Peoria. He held that ship pers “have a right under the law” to be supplied with efficient trans portation and granted their request for appointment of a receiver. In his ruling, designed to bring about a resumption of operations on the 239-mile line, strikebound since October, Judge Adair held that railroad officials have a higher duty to the public than their pri vate duty to stockholders. Colombia President-Elect Inspects TVA Projects By th« Associated Press KNOXVILLE, Tenn., June 29.— President-elect Marino Ospina Pe rez of Colombia arrived here today and began a five-day inspection tour of the Tennessee Valley Authority projects with a trip to Norris Dam. A mining engineer with a master of science degree from Louisiana State University, Senor Ospina said he was especially interested in flood control. “In most of our rivers we have the same problem you had in the Tennessee Valley before TVA—too much water,” he said. * has revealed that her father, a member of the Dutch underground, was executed in a German concen- j (ration camp after the Nazis had found the two Jews he had been hiding in his home. Passes Idea to Others. Mr. Corkrean wants others who have loved ones resting in Holland to know of this experience. He has [earned that Dutch committees, eager to correspond with relatives of American war dead, have been able to reach but 20 per cent of the families involved. The committees are given names and addresses by authorities of the military ceme teries when relatives in the United States so request. Miss Pleischener never has asked for anything, but the Corkreans have been sending her bundles of food and clothing, for which she has expressed deep appreciation. 1 Feeling that their son is “among friends.” they do not plan to ask that his body be returned to the United States. They have been comforted by such words as these from the Dutch girl who has "adopted” his grave: “I feel a thrill each time I visit the cemetery'. As far as you can see—nothing but little white crosses.1 so silent, and then the Stars and Stripes flag waving above all those graves as a salute from America—! and as if it watches over them in this little country so far aw'ay from their own homes and from every one that was so dear to them and from everything they so loved.” CIVIL SERVICE EXAMS. ?®.»y®« w*nt to *•*« civil service Prepare now.
