Onetime Law Professor Who Hit Skid
Row Makes Comeback in Chicago Court
Chicago (U.PJ W i 1 1 i a m C
- Wood, a onetime law professor
who hit the wine road down to
skid row, came back to a court
with a job yesterday... ,
Judge. 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

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?"

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.

Sens. Lonergan and Boivan

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

looked into 'the situation about
which there had been . a com

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

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."
