Grand jury Indicts 34 On Non-Support Charges (Continued from Page One) under the nrogram, more empha sis should be placed on requiring those who apply for assistance to furnish self-help." The investigative body went along with the feeling of Dist. Atty. Robert M. Stults that the Legisla ture should strengthen existing laws in regard to assistance. And, the jurors recommended immediate action on the part of welfare commission personnel re garding many cases, so that law enforcement agencies will be more successful in dealing with the cul pable parent or parents. After reading the report,. Judge Carl E. Wimberly backed up the report with a few comments on the current situation and on fla grant cases which have come up in the past. Telling of the almost daily par ade of persons, before him charged with non-support, the judge said it is "a sad commentary on the male of the species." One of the examples of flagrant cases he mentioned involved a mother who was drawing aid for her children while the father was drawing unemployment compensa tion. Admitting that support ind unemployment laws were set up for good reasons. Judge Wimberly, nevertheless, no'nted out some of the faults he believes are existent in the laws. Bail of $1,000 each was set on the 34 persons indicted. The grand jurors have been in a huddle with the district attorney and variov? witnesses for more than a week deciding on the indictments. Judge Wimberly continued the current grand jurors until the end of the present term, in February. Jurors are L. B. Atterbury. Har lan B. Carter. Margaret McKay ana ueorge wnarlon, all of Rosebure. T.
