terms Judge Sloper feels that lots
of juvenile trouble could be
avoided if parents supervised
more closely the out-of-home ac
tivities of their children.
All in all, though, Judge Sloper
is a man who enjoys his work.
He feels the courts, properly op
erated, are the basis and the safe
guard of human rights. "The
greatest satisfaction in this pro
fession," he says, "is the feeling
of having done a good job."
Judge Sloper Finds Use for
Psychology as Well as Laic
By CONRAD G. PRANGE
Staff Writer, The Statesman
Val Sloper, who is rounding out his first year as Marion County
district court' judge, freely admits these days that he is rapidly be
coming a wise judge.
Wise, that is, in handling the affairs of his court. His busy cham
bers in the Public School Administration Building usually take on the
air of a court of human relations.
In a typical day in court the
young judge often must assume
the roles of a soft-heasted pro
fessor, a hard-headed magistrate,
a psychologist, an arbiter, a stern
parent and a researching writer of
Judicial decisions.
In between times he must fre
quently direct taxpayers how to
find the county assessor's or other
county offices which are housed
in the . same building as district
court.
"One of the most searching
problems of this job," says. Sloper,
"is meting out just punishment
in all cases. A $5 fine may be a
more weighty hardship for one
man than a $50 fine for another.
If I impose a minimum fine on
a poor man, the word gets around
and even the well-to-do violators
expect the same consideration."
The judge recalls vividly the
case involving the Salem man who
was arrested or. a traffic violation.
The man sent his wife to court
to appear for him. Judge Sloper
levied a $25 fine plus $5 court
costs. The woman immediately
burst into tears right in the court
room. Cuts Fine, Adds Lecture
Remaining clear of the spray
Sloper soon got to the heart of the
tr6uble. It seems the woman's
husband had given her only $25,
and had warned her not to come
home if the fine exceeded that
amount. So the judge, almost in
self-defense, reduced the fine
but added a short, stern lecture.
A case replete with more pathos
and demanding more study was
that of-the young man who, find

And lots of persons bristle at
the extra $5 court costs tagged
onto regular fines. The judge ex
plains that he is required by law
to collect this additional stipend
(or more) on criminal and traffic
cases.
Approximately 50 per cent of
district court business involves
criminal and traffic cases. The
rest is civil matters. In one year
February, 1951, to February, 1952
the c'ourt handled 1,905 crimi
nal cases and 1,135 civil cases.
Funds handled by the court, in

came to $9,000.

West German
Minister Asks
Return of Saar
TRIER, Germany (P) Jakob
Kaiser, West German minister for
all-German affairs, Svmday night
called for the return of the coal
rich Saar to Germany. He also
accused the Western powers of
handing over 18 million East Ger
mans "to a dictatorial system of
terror."
Kaiser, a member of Chancel
lor Konrad Adenauer's cabinet,
demanded an early solution to the
controversial Saar problem
"which does not question that the
Saar is a component of Ger
many." Linked To France
This little border territory has
been economically linked to
France since thjwar. It has its
own governmentVbut the West
Germans contend it belongs to
Germany. In a speech prepared
for delivery before a patriotic
Rhineland rally here Kaiser said:
"After all, how can we protest
convincing in the East against
brutal force and terror if in the
West the Saar the right of self
determination is denied to Ger
mans. "Our French neighbors have an
outspokenly strong feeling for the
integrity of their frontiers. They
should concede to us the same
feelings.
Restlessness to Remain
"Ignored national feelings have
always been the cause of false and
aggressive nationals France and
the rest of the world will under
stand the existing restlessness
concerning the Saar. This restless
ness will remain alive in the
German people until the Germans
have been welded together in one
nation again. '
Turning to Soviet-occupied East
Germany, Kaiser said Hitler had
disregarded the national rights of
others and added:
"These deeds by National Soc
ialism should never have become
the basis and Justification for the
Allies repaying us in kind. There
can be no justification in taking
revenge on the Germans for Hit
ler's deeds, and in driving out
millions of people as in German
territory beyond the Oder-Neisse."

Farouk I Sunday gave another
veteran independent politician,
Hussein Sirry Pasha, a formal
mandate to form a new govern

for Hilaly Pasha's resignation.
Several theories were advanced,
but none of them has been given
official sanction or been accepted
generally.
Some credence was given to
speculation that Hilaly Pasha had
moved too slowly in his an

Egyptian government of graft and
of achieving the nation's chief
goals: Getting the British out of
the Suez Canal Zone and--effecting
the unity of the Anglo-Egyptian

The cable and wireless office
