B2 » THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C;, NOVEMBER 25, 1934—PART ONE. CARNETT'S VIEWS SOUGHT IN PROBE Crime Committee, Inviting Fitzpatrick, Wants Both Sides of Row. District Attorney Leslie C. Garnett, as well as John R. Fitzpatrick, who resigned last week as assistant prose- cutor &s a result of his protest against delay in trying a murder case. will be asked to appear before the Citizens’ Committee on Crime this week. This announcement was made last night by Arthur Clarendon Smith, committee member, after F. Regis Noel, president of the District Bar Association and head of the Crime Committee, had questioned the advis- ability of hearing only one side of the controversy. Smith emphasized that the commit- tee was not interested in taking sides, but argued that the development mer- ited attention as a matter relating to delays in trials. This, he said, ke regarded as a subject pertinent to the study. “The accused in this murder case” Smith said, “has been in jail for some 13 months, and another delay has been granted in the trial. My thought was that it might prove helpful to the committee to hear an outline of this case.” Fitzpatrick Out of Town. Fitzpatrick was out of town yes- terday and due back tomorrow. He is to be asked to appear before the meeting of the Committee on Crime ‘Wednesday at offices of the Bar Asso- ciation, 1331 G street. Smith said he would ask Garnett to appear at the same meeting. but at a different nmel than that set for Fitzpatrick's re- quested appearance. The accused in the murder case is Mary Irene Buccolo, charged with the murder of her husband. Rudolph. When the case was called last week a postponement was requested for the defense counsel, Wilton J. Lambert, who has been in poor health. Fitz- patrick. in charge of the case for the prosecution, was ready, and protested the delay. He said he would disso- ciate himself from the case. Justice James M. Proctor sent for Garnett and informed him that Fitz- patrick had been “insolent.”” The aftermath was the resignation of Fitzpatrick. Smith said last night the letter of resignation had not been made public and might contain data of value to the Crime Committee. He said he did not plan to ask Justice Proctor to appear before the committee since he doubted if a judge would want to make any statement in the matter before the court. i Would Hear All Sides. When Chairman Noel learned of the plan to ask Fitzpatrick to appear before the committee he said he thought it would be a mistake to hear only one side of the matter without hearing also from Garnett and Jus- tice Proctor. He said he doubted if either would appear to defend their positions. “But if Mr. Smith wishes to hear Fitzpatrick I shall offer no objection, although I think it is well to empha- size that the committee’s work is con- structive rather than destructive,” Noel said. *“We should give our public officials whole-hearted support instead of criticism. What can we learn of the Fitzpatrick case will be only one detaii of a many-sided picture which we hope to obtain of law enforcement in ‘Washington.” SLIGHT GAIN SEEN IN FINAL FIGURES OF CHEST’S DRIVE (Continued From First Page.)

Girl Violinist, 11, Surprised Her Coming Here Caused Stir, Gloria Perkins Says She Is Not “Freak™ or “Prodigy.” Today’s Symphony Solo- | ist Says She Studies as Hard as Anybody. Gloria Perkins, 11-year-old violin- ist who is to appear as soloist with the National Symphony Orchestra at Constitution Hall this afternoon, ex- | pressed surprise last night that there | should have been any controversy | about permitting her to play. Announcement of her coming to Washington as a featured musician had stirred a violent debate in the meeting of the Board of Education Wednesday. Dr. Frank W. Ballou, | superintendent of schools, differed | with E. Barrett Prettyman, corpora- | tion counsel, who had ruled that her engagement with the orchestra was “an important part of her musical education and, therefore, should be permitted.” The diminutive artist insisted she | is not a “freak” or a “prodigy.” “I| am not a child laborer,” she said, “and so far as school is concerned, I am sure I spend as much time with my lessons as other children do.” The explanation of her genius, she de- clared, is “only love of music and regular practice.” Mother Also Surprised. Her mother, Mrs. Clemmett Bird- song Perkins, a professional teacher of violin and piano, once a concert star in her own right, also appeared surprised when told of the attitude of school authorities here. “We are not trying to commercial- ize Gloria’s talent,” she said. “We wouldn't know how to do such a thing.” During the interview, the child ex- pressed a marked preference for pri- vate tutors, explaining that “there is so mueh waste of time in a regular school.” “I like to be active,” she added, “and it makes me impatient to have to just sit and watch other people work- ing. I think I can learn more quickly Boy, 8, Asks Work “On Relief” to Buy 89-Cent Tractor By the Associated Press. PIERRE, S. Dak, November 24—An 8-year-old Kingsbury County boy has asked Gov. Tom Berry for a relief job so he can buy a toy tractor for a Christ- mas present. In a letter to the Governor, the lad said he would like to have a tractor which cost 89 cents at a mail order house. “Can I go and work on relief and have the relief pay for the tractor for me?” the letter said. “I cannot do much, but I can gar;n"s: water so they will not get GLORIA PERKINS, if T have teachers who give me all their attention.” Her “average day,” he explained, consists of six hours of study, three or four hours of practice and “the rest is play.” She “loves” drawing and painting, and her productions have been approved by accredited critics. Mathematics and history are her favorite “book studies.” Among languages, her preference is for French—of which she has seven hours each week. Her bedtime ordinarily is 8 o'clock, “but a little later in Sum- mer.” She likes tennis, roller skat- ing and bicycle riding. Her “pals” are a small brother and a dog which she described as “just & plain dog, black all over, with white feet.” Gloria has studied with Louls Per- singer of the Roerich Institute for five years. She makes the trip from her home in Queens Village, Long Island, to his studio in Riverside drive, Ne\;; York, twice a week. “Practice is not tiring,” she insisted, “but I like to have my mother sit in the room with me, listening, so that I may know if I make any mistakes.” Recently she has been trying her hand at composition, and has made several records for the family Victrola “to keep track of progress.” Her repertoire at present includes 20 con- certos, among which are the Men- delssohn “E Minor,” which she played with the National Symphony last sea- son, and Saint-Saens “B Minor,” which is her chale for today. & e x £ 13 o s i - —T7 e ...
