LINDSEY SEEN
ON JUVENILE
BENCHHERE
Prominent Western Jurist Is
Expected to Succeed
Judge Sellers

Judge Ben B. Lindsey, noted
jurist, authority On juvenile
affairs and proponent Of the
doctrine of "companionate
marriage" may be the next
judge of the Juvenile Court
here, it was learned today.
Julge Lindsey, who has made
his home in Southern California
since his disbarment in Colorado
several years ago, was a visitor in
Washington within the past few
days, and it was intimated in Of
ficial circles that he had been
approached as to his willingness
to take the post now held by
Judge Kathryn Sellers.
Judge Sellers has held office,
although her term has expired,
since the failure of the Senate to
ratify the appointment by former
President Hoover of Miss Pearl
Mccall, assistant United States
Attorney, to that post.
Mentioned as Governor
Judge Lindsey, who was a
member of the Progressive Ma
tional Committee in 1912, was
mentioned early this year as pos
sible nominee for the Governship
of the Hawaiian Islands.
Oppoition to this appointment
was voiced from many sources.
Appointed judge of the juvenile
court of Denver in 1900, Judge
Lindsey held this office until 1927,
and in his more than a quarter
of century of service instituted
radical reforms for the betterment
of delinquent youth.
The author of the Colorado
Juvenile court laws, it was Judge
Lindsey who instituted the honor
system that did much toward re-
habilitating those who came be-
fore the court.
DiSbarred In 1929
The disbarment proceedings
came in 1929 on the charge that
he had practiced law and accepted
fees while still a member Of the
bench.
Following his departure from
Denver, the California Bar AS
sociation admitted him to pract-
ice in that State.
In 1927 Judge Lindsey achieved
world wide notoriety by his
"companionate marriage" doc
trineS
In a nation wide series of lect-
ures and debates, he denied that
he advocated free love-" but as
serted he was strong for the
sacred, time, honored institution
of old fashioned matrimony."
Companionate marriage, as he
explained the term, was nothing
more than the present state OF
lawful wedlock, with the use OF
birth control "as recognized by
law, clergy and divorce"
BY Mutual Consent
Under companionate marriage
there are children only by mutual
consent, he said. Modern times
demand companionate marriage,
he holds, due to economic condi-
tions.
During his tour, Judge Lindsey
debated here against Rabbi Abram
Simon, of the Washington Hebrew
Congregation, and scored a vic
tory in a vote taken following the
debate.
Later he was elected from the
Cathedral of st. John the Divine
when he arose to protest after
he had been assailed by Bishop
William T. Manning in sermon.
Judge Lindsey is the author OF
a number of books on child de-
linquency and welfare and is re
garded' as one of the worlds
greatest authorities on this sub
ject.

PRINCETON, N. j., Oct. 18
G.N.SD Making no effort to
seclude himself but insisting he
will make no public appearances,
grant no interviews, nor issue
any statements" Prof. Albert
Einstein, noted scientist, today
prepared to begin his activities
at the Flexner Institute of
advanced study at Princeton
University.
The famed physicist and Mrs.
Einstein were expected to move
into permanent quarters today
or tomorrow small, brown
shingle house in the west end
of town. In the meantime, they
were the guests of friends.
Prof. Einstein came here last
night after he had debarked from
the liner Westernland and hur-
ried to Princeton by automobile,
leaving a New York city welcom-
ing committee waiting at the
dock"
Originally it had been planned
that he would be welcomed by
Mayor j. P. O'Brien, of New
York, and spend a day as his
guest.
Two reasons were advanced for
the change in plans on Prof.
Einstein's arrival. One was his
general aversion to publicity; the
other, fear he would be en-
barraSsed by Nazi supporters who
had been reported planning a
demonstration if he landed in
New York and was officially
welcomed.
