LAMENTS GREAT
WAVE OF Crime
Assistant Secretary Goodwin
BIdmes Widespread Dis
regard of Law.

The American people enact more
laws and pay less attention to them
than any people in the world. This
disregard for law has led to an I'M
paralleled wave of crime that has
swept the whole United States, and
1t has not Yet subsided." Francis
NJ. Goodwin. Assistant Secretary OF
Interior stated last night at the
regular meeting OF the Federal Bar
Association in the auditorium of the
Interior Department Building. His
topic was Lawyers and Govern
ment"
Mr.. Goodwin deplored the action
OF a part Of the legal profession
in advocating laws for the sup
preston OF radical agitators. Such
laws. he said. while intended for
desirable purpose, constitute an
infringement of fundamental rights
and often react against the desir.
able discussion of national problems
by public-minded citizens.

civil service retirement law. criti-
cised it's provisions as inadequate
and as providing unequal benefits
to government employees whose SER
vices merit equal compensation.
Instructions were given to the
associations delegates to the
American Bar Association TO advo-
cate higher salaries for attorneys

tionS as Others.

How 1t WORKS." at the First Church
OF Christ, Scientist, Columbia road
and EucIid street northwest
Declaring that Christian Scien-
lists have nothing but good will
for people of differing religious be-
licfs, Mr.. Seeley said that Christian
Science, with Christendom, wor-
slips the same God and rejoices in
tire same conceptions of good wher-
ever manifest. On this common
ground. he declared. all people
should APPROACH the problem with
an open mind and in a spirit of
reasoning and honest consideration.
Mr.. Seeley declared Christian
Science shows evil, like ignorance,
to be but negative state of
thought. the presence Of which dis:
appears before the light of intel
ligence.
Emphasizing the necessity of in
terpreting the Bible upon other
grounds than the narrowness of its
letter. he declared that II should be
studied in the light of reason and
OF fact.
Speaking of the application of
Christian Science. Mr.. Seeley lik-
ened tSs overcoming of a tempta-
ton to do an evil act to the Scien-
lists method. of overcoming sick
ness and disease. IF the mental
method is disable to get rid of tho
suggestion to be dishonest" he de-
clared. at is equally disable to ge;
rid of the evil suggestion to be
sick, for the latter has no more
legitimate place in the life and
thought of man than the former"

an audience which crowded the au-
ditorium of the church.

Rules Rent Act
Can Be Ignored
Applies Only When Invoked
BY Landlord or Tenant.
Court Holds,

The Municipal Court can ignore
the Ball rent act In landlord and
tenant suits unless the landlord or
tenant invokes the act, according
to a decision rendered yesterday In
the Court Of Appeals in the case of
James r. Hayden, q tenant. who was
sued by Rocco and Rosario Fillip-
pone, his landlords, to recover pos
session OF property.
In afirming a judgment for pos
session in favor of the landlords, the
Appellate Court points out that
Hayden did not plead the Bali rent
act or apply to the Rent Commits
sion while the case was pending In
the Municipal Court and therefore,
the higher court ruled. he was pre-
vented from claiming the protection
of the act on his appeal.
