Hyman Feldman, who found him among his cases last week and promised him a $5 a . day job if he would stay with it, welcomed him to his courtroom with a. "good morning, Coun celor, and the shoulders of the 65-year-old Wood straightened visibly. , - ' t ' - He -wore a necktie. - Over a white shirt he wore a clean checkered plaid shirt. As the week ends accumulation of cases drifted together in the court, he chatted with officials. An inter ested onlooker was Richard Vail, assistant to Capt. Tommy Crock er, the Salvation Army leader whose work among the skid row, habitues has won him their re Sard. Wood seemed in a good mood. He said he wanted to stay at his present address on Madison ' st. - through voters' registration day and then move" to another loca tion on the near North Side, v In a half-joke about his own addiction, he said the demand for soft drinks "went up on Madison St. this week end." He got his chance -to work in police court because he showed Judge Hyman Feldman that he's "still got it" last Friday. Feldman offered Wood the job when the derelict lawyer, tieless and wearing rumpled clothing, successfully defended . a fellow skid row. habitue. : It will be Wood's job to advise Feldman on how to deal with the droves of alcoholics, drifters and homeless men who are brought to his court. each day. , Once Lawyer, Teacher Not so long ago Wood was a successful lawyer and a teacher at the Kent College of Law here. His specialty was contract law and three judges now on the county court bench were his stu dents. " x " Then Wood began to drink be cause of "trouble at home." Two and a half years ago he hit skid row, the tawdry mile of Chi cago's ,West Medison Street where the city's lost men gen erally wind up. His wife has re-married, he said, and his children are now grown. Wood was one of 140 derelicts brought into Feldman's court Friday The ; judge ' learned of Wood's record and said "let's see of you've still got it, I want you to defend one of these men." Wood proved he's .still got it" Gets His Job Then ; he said,"' "Judge,'- for $5 a day I'll come in here every day and try to be whatever help I can." : Feldman replied "You've got a job. You come here Monday, sober, and you'll get . your $5." Later, Feldman said Wood S W LlVG By ELIZABETH HURLOCK, PH.D. Hesitate To Share Home Wilh Another ' Living with someone requires adjustments on both sides. It often means sacrifices of per sonaT interests and tastes. ' (Q) "I have lived with my widowed mother for the past ; 10 years. My brothers and sisters are all married and have homes of their own. I am a woman of 43 and have never worked because I kept the home first for my parents and then for my mother after my father's death. I am now faced with the problem of be ing alone " and not having enough . money to keep the -house. My sisters suggest that I gel another woman to come and live with me so she can share the work and, the ex - penses. I know of no one who is not married or - working. - Child Actors Said To Lack Proper School Los A n g e 1 e s (U.PJ Holly wood's child actors are not re ceiving the proper education to prepare them for a happy, well adjusted life, says Dr. Dan Feller of the University of - California's Los Angeles faculty. Dr. Feller, who studied the subject for his doctor of educa tion thesis, concluded that, al though juvenile actors are "ex posed to richer personal and so cial experiences than children of comparable ages, their formal education suffers because of the irregular manner in which it is administered. . ; He said the nature of film pro duction, studio environment and driving parental ambitions all help create a way of life, that threatens normal development. t He proposed a counseling serv ice' for child actors to-be oper ated jointly by the Los-Angeles Board of Education and the mo tion picture studios." Manned by trained child psychologists, such a counseling service would: : Screen applicants ..for acting permits to eliminate- the- untal ented child with the over-ambitious mother. ; t -' Counsel parents on" how to care for their actor children; Help studio teachers ; recog nize behavior and personality problems at an earlier stage; Prepare child actors for the crisis of adolescence when loss oi childhoom charm may force them from the acting profession into some entirely different ca reer. V " with her own living arrange ments. I am a bit hesitant about taking in a complete stranger, because if we did not get along, it would be dif ficult to ask her to leave and very embarrassing for me. What would you suggest that ; I do?" ;- (A) Why don't you :rent . a room or two to business w o m e n o r widows, , on a purely b u s i ness basis un til ydu see how things work out You can eive them Dr. Hnxlock ."kitchen priv ileges" if they want them, with the understanding that there will be a schedule for the use of the kitchen. cYou could make similar arrangements for U3e of the living room. In this way, they would not be your - guests or members of the family, but boarders. The arrangement could be terminat ed if it did not work out satis factorily. , Having a person as a "living companion," to share your home, your work, ' and, your time, would be an entirely different matter. Only after you are sure you have found a congenial per son should you consider malting such living arrangements. (Copyright 1955.

Lonergan and Boivan said, that in their opinion, no local body at present is in exist ence to which subversive activi ties can be reported. . Letter Cited . Sen. Lonergan cited a letter from Mrs." Albert H. Powers, state regent of the Oregon so ciety, Daughters, of the Ameri can Revolution. She" complained about certain books used in Ore gon schools, Mrs. Powers - told Longeran her group.had protest ed four books which she 'called "not American in spirit"; but she said these books had been placed on approved lists as texts in Ore gon high schools. Longeran said "at present, we have no body which can legally examine such books." .The Portland senator said there might not have been need of the recent hearings by the Velde committee on the Reed college campus in Portland if there had been ' an Oregon sen ate committee which could have looked into 'the situation about which there had been . a com plaint. - Under the Lonergan-Boivin bill,' the senate president would Around Hollywood Hollywood (U.PJ While Lib- erace is recuperating, his silent b"ri"- rifrre, , has branched out as a , sin gle to prove he can talk and that 'I'rn not just some body on the family band wagon." Until , now, George Lib erace has been the non-talker Aline Mosby who ummed his1 violin on his pearly-toothed brother's TV program. When pianist Lee was forced to rest to patch - up a strained heart, brother George got a -chance to appear on his own. , Saturday night he talked for the first time when he appeared as a guest on George Gobel's TV show. ; Today he took off for more guest appearances in New York. ' . - '; , Same Hair. Less Smile 'This was the first time I've spoken? said George, who also has graying : wavy hair and smiles, although not so often as Liberace. - - - - ; "Mother often gets letters about what a shame it is that she has a son who can't talk! "I have no desire to be a star on my own," he added. "I never have felt slighted or in the back seat. But now as a temporary single I have the chance to ex press myself musically on my own so people . won't say I'm just there because I'm part of the family. - 'I'm even going to start wear ing ruffled shirts. If Lee can, so can I." The addition of a talkless George to Liberace's act in 1947 By ALINE MOSBY United Press Corresnondant- ; began as an accident. George had -been a top violinist with popular bands and symphony or chestras. When brother Lee need ed a manager, George took over "because it was, gratifying to see a younger brother come up." "I gave up any idea of a pro fessional career for myself be cause I thought it would be bet ter to work at one big goal instead- of having separate ca reers," he explained. "I had a . lot of personal suc cess before I joined Lee." It has been gratifying to see him reach even greater- success." When Liberace became dis satisfied with his orchestral ac companiment, , George became his conductor. Never Spoke "Lee would introduce me, and I'd come from behind the piano and take a bow," he said. " People started to laugh at that. So we left it in, the act, and I never spoke." , ' - 1 Brother George also handles the show's lighting effects and a staff of ' eight persons - in the Liberace office. He films puppet introductions to commercials for the syndicated Liberace TV pro gram," because on some stations the local announcers come on in sport shirts, and we feel it hurts the show." i "I work harder on all these projects than if I were an out sider," he said. Another advantage of his new single act, he added, is thaf'I can keep -alive the name of Lib erace while he's not working."
