The New Deal has made Washington
the real Capital of the United States
temporarily, at least.
Hitherto it has been symbol, but
not an actual focal point OF the Ma
tion's life:
such at least is the view Of an
ANONYMOUS writer in Fortune, who
appraises the city somewhat irrever-
emily in the forthcoming issue and
believes that it's new status is but a
passing phase of its history. Wash
ington. of course, has been the law
making center of the Nation for a long
time, but, the Fortune writer holds,
the threads of the Nations economic
and cultural life and financial power
have been focused in other and greater
cities. But in the past two years Chi
caeo and New York and Boston have
come to look to washington for their
ways of thought and their ways OF
livelihood, as Britain looks to London
and France to Paris.

facts as that quarter Of all the

Writer Holds Recovery Efforts
Make Washington Real Capital

date line-has not been painless to
the city itself with its established
ways of life which have gone on Tor
a century behind the curtain OF legis-
lative activity with the rest OF the
country caring little about them.
"The scene Is twice as dynamic as
it ever was before" the writer says.
THE first phenomenon Of Washing
toms new role is new vitality.
During the World War, Washing
ton became an emergency Capital.
But after the armistice it again be-
came a journalistic cliche to say that
the Government of the United States
reposed almost anywhere but in
Washington. The city had reverted
to its status of mere symbolic
Capital.
"But the industrial Government of
the United States wavered-whether
from fatty degeneration, or cyclic eco
nomics or the shock of the war Is an
academic consideration.
THE fact is that when, after two
years Of depression, the ballots were
counted it was discovered that the
Nation had elected, among other

Court Rules Woman Not
Able to Recover $4,000
on Property Deal.
OTHER PARTIES IN SALE
HELD NOT INFORMED
Dissenting Opinion Declares Part
ners of Mclean Were Joint
ly Bound

Although conceding Mrs. Maude S.
McLemore had been defrauded of
$4,000 in a real estate transaction.
the District Court of Appeals decided
today she could not recover the money
because she had failed to obtain
service of process upon Otto B. Nc
Lean, alleged to be the swindler.
1t was shown at the trial that Nc
Lean. former officer of Maury- Mclean,
Inc, real estate operators, agreed with
three other men to purchase property
at 1914 K street. Mclean was first
John F. Maury and Frank E. Ghiselli.
Julius I. Peyser later entered the
transaction as a fourth party to the
purchase. Under the terms of the
contract sale $4,000 was to be turned
over to a title company within a
specified period. The other three
posted their money, but check writ
ten by Mclean for his share was dis
honored. it was asserted
Accounting Demanded.
1t is charged Mclean then told
Mrs. McLemore he would sell her his
fourth interest in the property for
$4,000, which she advanced. Mclean
allegedly turned this money over to
Maury in satisfaction Of a debt, and
later conveyed his interest in the
property to Maury in payment of an
other Indebtedness. Mrs. McLemore
who had never been given title to
her share of the property. filed suit
for an accounting in District Supreme
Court. but Mclean was never served
with process in the suit.
In the absence of such service. the
lower court ruled Mrs. McLemore was
not entitled to maintain her action
and this view was affirmed by the
Court of Appeals. which held Maury
and the other purchasers we're with
out knowledge Of the alleged fraud
committed by Mclean and did not
consent to his act.
Injustice Stressed.
In holding Mclean responsible for
the fraud. the court said: This is
unfortunate for the plaintiff She has
been very unjustly dealt with in this
case. 1t is very unfortunate that the
person who is responsible to her is not
before the court and cannot be made
responsible for his wrong"
Associate Justice Lawrence Groner,
in dissenting opinion, held that since
Mclean and Maury were partners and
the other two purchasers knew of the
existence of this partnership. they
were Jointly bound" and that Mrs
McLemore was entitled to an ac-
counting from them.
The appellees were represented by
Attorneys Ralph P Barnard and Will
liam E. Richardson. The opinion was
written by Chief Justice Martin.
