Mrs. Inez Hoffman toaluy askeal
f 1'hm, ilamuyes for a haircut al-
legeally forced on her lit-year-old
son by an e|ri,ltntary sch.Mil prin-
<ipal.
She said in her p -tition in cotn-
moi, pleas court that her boy, Kd-
uard, returned home from Swhtwil
l*.'b. U minus his locks. Clifford
Lanifdon, principal uf the rural
Highland elementaryV-ch«>ol, was
the battier, sha' charged.
Kilward complained that the prin
cipal forcefully clipped his hair
.luting recess. As u result, Mrs.
H off man said her son suffered a
cold anal a toothache.
William J. Curry, Ironton law-
yer who fileal the action. *aial the
hail-cutting incident apparently
was the outgrowth of earlier dis-
ciplinary action taken against the
youth by Langdon.
According to Curry, the youtig-
sfer was playing with a group of
cla>sntates during the recess when
l.angdon oida'red him to the fur-
nace room of the school, plaa-ad a
towel over his shoulders anal clip-
ped hi- hair.
"Not onl^v was it a trespass upon
the hoaly," Curry said, "but it also
was a very humiliating experience
for the boy.™
Mrs. Hoffman, Curry said, is a
widow.
Ijingdon was not immealiately
available for comment. ^
