J
Gives Advice to
Judges Meeting
CHICAGO UP) — The National
Association of Municipal Judges
got some advice and suggestions
from attorney Perry Mason—and
in no uncertain terms.
Speaking “only as a layman—
and as a citizen,” television actor
Raymond Burr told the third an
nual conference of the association
that “the courts are not the exclu
sive property of the bar or of the
bench.”
“Without our laymen’s under
standing and acceptance, the laws
which you apply and the courts
in which you preside cannot con
tinue to exist.”
Burr spoke to the judges on “My
interest in good courts” and said
“It is as Raymond Burr—not as
television’s Perry Mason—that I
am here today.” He said “This
must be stated clearly since Perry’s
‘interest in good courts’ is sub
stantially different from my own.”
The actor said that “every de
fendant appearing in your (muni
cipal* courts should be represent
ed by counsel.”
He repeated a proposition made
in November 1959 to a regional
meeting of the American Bar As
sociation in Memphis:
“That the bar should provide
counsel in every court in this land
for persons charged with traffic
offenses.”
“If you are vigilant in protect
ing the rights of the people of
your communities, then the rights
of all Americans are safe indeed.”

Northwind Does Research
In Arctic Ocean Within
Sight of Russian Siberia
WASHINGTON (jP — A Coast
Guard research vessel will operate
within sight of Russian Siberia
this summer while making an ex
tensive oceanographic survey, the
Coast Guard said today.
It will be the second consecutive
summer for Arctic area surveys by
the icebreaker Northwind.
Although it will be within sight
of Siberia at times, it will operate
outside Siberia’s territorial limits,
working in international waters of
the Chukchi, East Siberian and
Laptev seas.
The survey will study distribu
tion and variation of water tem
perature. salinity, dissolved oxy
gen and nitrogen, and various
other substances in the sea water.
It also will record the contour of
the ccean floor by means of high
precision sonic depth sounders.
About Oct. 1, the Northwind
will rendezvous with the Navy ice
breaker Staten Island at Point
Barrow to take joint measure
ments of the thickness of the
earth's crust and to determine the
structural transition from the
North American Continent to the
Arctic Ocean Basin.
The Northwind is to return to
its Seattle port early in November.
Youth with Mental Record
Confesses to Stabbing
Catholic Priest to Death
NEW YORK OP — Police said a
youth with a mental record has
confessed stabbing to death a
priest who befriended him — not
knowing that he was a clergyman.
The youth, Robert Charles Bur
ger, 18, was arrested and charged
with homicide and grand larceny.
He was accused of taking the
priest’s automobile and wallet,
containing about $100.
The priest, the Rev. Francis J.
Mc-Shane, 42, of suburban Elms
ford, was slain Thursday in the
Manhattan apartment of his sister,
who is traveling overseas.
Police quoted Burger as saying
the priest was wearing slacks and
a sports shirt, with no clerical
garb, when they met in a pizzeria
in Yonkers a short time before
the slaying.
They quoted him as saying the
priest, learning he was a foster
child, invited him to the sister’s
apartment.
Burger reportedly said an argu
ment developed and that he
“blacked out.”
Yonkers police termed the slav
l ing senseless.

Memories . . Better
Than Money ...
By HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK fJ* — Memories are
life’s true gold. 1
Memories are better than money.
Stored in the mind, they always
draw a high rate of interest. Un- '
like money, nobody can steal them 1
away from you.
Chances are that you are per
sonally wealthy in this timeless 1
currency yourself if you can re- 1
member when—
Children envied rugs, because 1
rugs were usually beaten only
once a year. 1
The first thing a boy did when ]
he got a new bicycle was turn the ,
handlebars down so it would look (
like a racing bike.
A guest, after a bounteous fam- ,
ily meal would compliment the
beaming hostess bv saying, “My, (
you certainly put the big pot in
the little one.”
Cautious mothers in small towns ,
kept their kids in the house when j
a gypsy caravan rolled by.
Teen-age, would-be romeos were '
called “drugstore cowboys.” Those
a little older, known as “sports,” ]
gave forth with their views on ;
life and love at the corner barber
shop or the local pool hall. (
Everybody in the neighborhood
felt sorry for a baby whose mother
didn’t breast-feed it.
You could get a thick, creamy
chocolate milk shake—made with
two dips of real ice cream—for 15
cents.
Everybody was careful what he .
said over the telephone, because
you never could tell what gossip
would be listening on the party
line.
The only labor - saving device
the average housewife had was a
broom—or a helpful daughter.
During heat waves all the neigh
bors liked to call on the only
family in the block that owned an
electric fan.
The best thing about movies was
that they were silent. Many peo
ple thought that talking motion
pictures — if they ever did come
about—would be a nuisance.
A man who could brag he had
once shaken the hand of heavy
weight boxing champion John L.
Sullivan could get a free drink in
any saloon.
The height of high school re
partee was to remark, “So’s your
old man.” It broke ’em up every
time.
Little old ladies whirred about
the streets in high-seated, battery
powered motor cars that ran on
hard rubber tires and contained a
vase of fresh flowers.
The postman not only knocked
twice—he also delivered the mail
first class, 2 cents, twice a day at
your home.
