A REPORT from the Sheppard
n Towner committee on the pas
sage of the 2-year extension to the
maternity and infancy act was the
chief business brought before the
Women's Joint Congressional Com
mittee at its monthly luncheon and
meeting held last Monday afternoon
at headquarters of the General FEEDER
alton of Women'S Clubs.
Mrs. Edward Costigan, chairman
of the committee, in making the re-
port said that the committee would
have preferred the passage OF the OH
without the proviso which states that
at the end of two years no further
Federal appropriation will be MADE,
but her committee members ana
friends of the measure realized that
in order to gain the extension a com
promise was necessary. 1t is thought
that the States will be able to handle
the situation themselves at the eX-
piration of the two-year extension.
The women of the joint congressional
committee, as well as clubWomen
throughout the country who are
making a study of legislative prob
lens, are coming to realize more and
more that in order to gain the great
est cooperation from the legislators
they must hold tn .mselves ready to
make fair concessions in the measures
they advocate, taking into constdera-
ton the various viewpoints of those
with wholn they are working.
1t is the realization of the value of
this ''open-minded' policy, according
to one legeslataive club executive
which has led several of the promi
ent national women's organizations tc
advocate principales of bills rather
than the bills themselves.

him that he had a legal right to a jury
trial?
Judge Williams. I do not believe so;
counsel made that request, but | do not
believe he so advised him,
Senator Pittman. And he took it to
the circuit court of appeals?
Judge Williams. That was done by
the American Civil Liberties Union land
their attorney, who brOadcasted it
Though the country that they were 90
ing TO appeal. But no attorney ever ad-
vised him that be had a right to a jury
trial; | will warrant you that;
Senator Pittman. But the question
was taken up on appeal?
Judge Williams. Yes, sir.
Senator Pittman. And the case had
been terminated, so far as you were con
cerned?
Judge Williams. In the district court.
but not in the circuit court.
Senator Pittman. So far as you were
concerned?
Judge Williams. Yes, sir.
Senator Pittman. His statement in the
newspaper was to the effect That he had
been denied the constitutional right OF
trial by a jury?
Judge Williams. Yes, sir.
Senator Pittman. That was made af-
ter you he'd finished the case?
Judge Williams. After | had finished
the case: yes, sir. 1t was an article
about this long LiIIustratingI, containing
other matter as well, and declared def
mite facts, not as error Of judgment, bat
the implication was that had deliberate.
ly, w|rongfully, malicjousIy and NiIlfuIly
deprived MIN of this right knowingly.
That was the implication from the arti-
Gle, perfectly clear.
Senator Pittman. Do you think he
believed he had that right?
Judge Williams No, sir; | do no be-
lieve he had any such idea.
Senator Pittman. He did not?
Judge Williams. Oh course, be did
not.
Senator Pit;man. And yet the matter
had gone to the circuit court Of appeals?
Judge Williams. On the theory that
they might get way with some things;
and as they did on the point on which
the case was really reversed.
Senator Pirtman. ! am just getting at
what character of criticism you might
bring up in that proposition, to see Wheth-
err the statute should not be limited to a
certain extent. That is all | have in
mind now,
Judge Williams. Yes. sir.
Senator PIftnan.. Of course, you say

Senator Pittman. Suppose he had said
that this was a case of disputed fact,
which it was?
Judge Williams. Yes.
Senator Plttman. He had charged d
policeman with brutality to a prisoner?
Judge Williams. Yes, sir.
Senator Pittman. 1t was a question OF
disputed fact?
Judge Williams. Yes, sir.
Senator Pittman. /. was within your
discretion to grant him a jury TRIAL or
not in that case?
Judge Williams. Yes, sir.
Senator P:ttman lie demanded Q jury
trial in the matter?
Judge Williams. Yes, sir.
Senator Pittman. Suppose he had said
in his paper that you had acted arOItrari-
ly and liz a manner that was indicative
of bias, rather in favor Of the policeman;
would that have tended to bring you into
|disrepute?
Judge Williams. Of course. it is
rather awkward for me to have to an
swer questions Of that kind, but | do not
mind answering and saying anything in
that article which says that ! acted in q
way that was imperious and tyrannica.
was certainly the kind Of a charge tha-
would tend to BRING me into d|isreputa,
and if 1T were SO ought 10 accomplish my
removal.
Senator Pittman. And you take it that
that kind Of criticism / have just mention
ed, in your opinion. would tend to bring
you in d|isrepute?
Judge Williams. Yes, sir.
Senator Pittman. Would have been
within the statute and your duty to pro
tect the court you presided over?
Judge Williams. Yes, sir. If / may
be allowed to say This, il be had said he
asked for a jury Jrlal and he thought
he ought to have got one, although
the court exercised It's discretion, / would
not have said a word about it.
Senator Robinson OF Arkansas. What
is the practice of the courts in that juris-
diction with respect 10 granting jury
trials?
Judge Williams. In the majority Of
cases it is not granted; as a matter Of
fact, in felony cases they have it is a mat
ter of right.
Senator Robinson Of Arkansas. But jn
this case it is conceded that, as a matter
OF law, / take it, 1t was within your a45
erection whether or not to grant a jury
trial?

 ways Convicted, Records Show.

Syracuse. N. Y, Nov. 10 P- Motorists who help themselves to the farmers crops should be interest ed in the almost perfect conviction rate procured for this form of thievery by New York state troopers during the last twelve months.
 A report made to the New York state farm federation bureau con- vention here today by Major John A. Warner. superintendent of state police, revealed that all but fifteen of the 1o3 persons arrested by the troopers for this form of petit lar ceny we're convicted and that only 13 complaints were investigated by the troopers without resultant ar rests A majority~of these latter cases occurred during the night or were on property so far removed from the owners that the thefts were not immediately discovered and re- ported.
 The vigilance service in which the troopers play their part was or ganized by the farmer bureau about two years ago in g. drive to stamp out thefts of fruit and farm pro- duce. A preliminary survey by the bureau disclosed that most of the farm produce thefts were committed by motorists.
