friendship with Dillinger, which be-
gan one year ago last winter, she kept
. steadfast silence.
'That Is something that Is sacred

Of the land to make me tell Of our

the crops and trapping and hunting.

What worries Dillinger's sweetheart

Vogel confined most Of his talk to

reason was that the state = building

paving. but he estimated three times
as much country road can be con-
structed as paving, on the same
ar'ount Of money.
He said he had written North Da-

t view OF seeking an amendment to
the hie'lway aid bill which would per-

JUDGE JAYNE'S STATEMENT
ON COURT REFORMS

that lawyers are bred in the old
rules and every time a new set is
made, they have to learn all over
again. Some OF them feel that II
requires too much mental energy
to learn a lot OF new rules, SO they
prefer just letting the old ones
stand. In the procedural reforms
that have been effected in Michi-
gan. the courts usually have had
to take the initiative.
Judge Jayne continued so far
as this particular inquiry IA con-

we had furnished all the inrorma-
ton the committee asked. We have
given them everything we have in
the way of records We have given
them a lot OF advice and sugges-
lions about what the Legislature
might do to simplify practice. We
went carefully with them into the
present cumbersome and expensive
system OF keeping court records.
IF there are any other special
questions they want answered. I
am sure the judges will be glad to
