MOSCOW, December 26. - Friend
ship courts" are the newest legal expert
ment of the Soviet government. These
courts are to be tried in factories OF
the Moscow district. They will not ex-
ercise the power of filming and mprison-
ing offenders" but will be for the pur-
pose of disciplining and reforming
workers who are addicted to careless
ness, inebriation, loaf1ng and other such
habits.
The economic authorities. in their
battle to bring to a successful conclu-
sion the famous flve-year induStrial1za-
ton plan, have determined that all
waste effort shall be eliminated as far
as possible. Most of this waste, they
have found, is due to the laxity of the
undisciplined workers themselves.
The plan is for each factory to have
It's own court, with head judge and
two assistants elected by the employees
for a period of one year. Trials will be
held of any workers accused of Lying
down on the job" and any employe will
be permitted to take part in the argu-
ments, either for or against the defend
ants. The procedure at any one of the
trials will be simple reading of the
charges by the head judge, an oral
answer by the accused and the final
summing up in arguments by any one
present who cares to argue. The three
Judges then discuss and announce their
verdict.
The court can impose any of the fol-
lowing "punishmentS": "Comradely''
persuasion; "comradely" reprimand;
public reprimand with or without pub
iication in the press; transfer from a
higher to a lower paid job; suspension
for a definite period; discharge from
the factory, and, finally, deprivation Of
trade union membership for a stated
&me.
Soviet authorities hope that the new
ADurts will greatly increase the per-
6entage of factory efficiency, which re-

PILOT PRAISED IN
 SK|LFUL LANDING
Transport Aviator Saves Passen.
 gers by Good Control

Boston June 6 (P A skillful emergency landing in shallow water was declared today to have prevent ed the loss of more than one life yesterday in the forced landing of a Colonial Air Transport passenger plane with Is persons aboard.
 Pearl S. Thorsen, 50, Brookline, died on shore after he had swum rom the plane and collapsed. Eleven others were taken to a hospital suf- 1eflng from immersion, shock and night.
 Motor Goes Dead
 Occupants ofthe tri-motored plane said the right motor went dead im- medlately after the craft had taken of on the l D. m. New York flight Unable 10 keep the ship long in the air at an altitude of about 75 feet, Pilot Owen O'Connor, Newport, R. l., took it into the water rather than onto mud flats or a partly ex- Cavated portion of the field. The airport is located in East Boston and is partly surrounded by water.
 The fuselage was rent striking the water, permitting passengers to es- cape and Pilot O'Connor and Co., pilot Val R. Chick. Gloucester, aided others through the two doors. The plane stayed af1oat some time before sinking in about 10 feet of water.
 Two Women Passengers
 Two of the 13 passengers were women. Those who remained at the hospital overnight were: Chick, I. H. Morrison, New York; W. E. Wilson, Boston; w. A. Stayton. Jr., Roches- ter, Pa: and Mrs. H. E, Webster, New York.
 A greater disaster was averted because the plane took off over water, through a changt in the wind rather than over buildings. The second section of the l D. m. flight went out few minutes later.
 An investigation was begun by officials of the company and State Registrar of Motor Vehicles George A. Parker said state inquiry would be made.
