IMPROVED CODE
SOUGHT by BAR
|. FORD|STR|CT

Making q clean sweep in its
study Of the practice in the va
rious courts in this Jurisdiction,
the bar association prepared today
to scan the rules and procedure Of
the appellate court for possible
weak spots which might be i'm.
proved.
Nelson T. Harrison is head Of the
committee on appellate practice,
appointed by Bar Association Pres
ident F. Regis Noel earlier in the
week. Francis l.. Neubeck Is vice
chairman and Joseph Y. Reeves
secretary Of the committee, which
includes Charles T. Clayton, Wal.
ter B. Guy, @. Percy McGlue, Rob-
ert E. L. Smith, Louis Titus, Oscar
w. Underwood, jr., and Vernon E.
West.
Moncure Burke, right-hand man
Of Court Of Appeals Clerk Harry
Hodges, is an ex-officio member.
This committee, and the COM
mittee on law rules, the committee
on equity practice and the COM
mittee on departmental practice
will probably be in a position to
make a report at the next meet
ing and will furnish additional
questions for debate.
The Arts Club was the scene
Of pretty little party last Mon
day evening and many Of the
gentlemen lawyers would like to
have been there.
Miss c. Virginia Diedel was
the hostess to q group Of active
women practitioners at a dinner.
Justice Jesse C. Adkins and
Judge Mary O'Toole were present,
and Miss Ann Sugar, local pi-
aniSt, furnished the principal en-
tertainment.
Other guests included: Mrs.
Norma Hardy Britton, Miss Cath
crime, Reany, Miss Nina I.
Thomas, Mrs. Bertha R. Gold,
Mrs. Rebekah Greathouse, Mrs.
Burnita Shelton Matthews, Miss
M. Pearl Mccall, Miss Dora Pal
kin, Miss Catherine McCloskey,
Mrs. Mabel B. Sakis, Miss Edna
Sheehy, Miss Eta L. Taggart, and
Miss Laura Berrien.
Yesterday the District Commis-
SionerS made application to the
PWA for a $4,000, 900 loan, which,
but for the lethargic attitude of
most Of the lawyers of the city,
might have been for $4,000, 900
more-suf11cient to carry out the
proposed construction of court
buildings on John Marshall Place.
OF course the loan-insofar as
it affected the court buildings
got off to a bad start in the be-
ginning
Social service people dubbed it
the Municipal Center. This caused
Members of Congress to think it
was park and playground prof.
ect, and they were opposed to it
for that reason. In the second
place, when the first rebuff came
nearly a year ago, everyone threw
up his hands in despair-eXcept
F. Regis Noel.
About four months ago, Mr.
Noel made a speech to the local
chapter of the American Institute
of Architects. The speech, en-
titled wedding Of Architecture
and Art" paralleled the artistic
structure Of law and architecture
It was a strange and unusual
smile but the architects accepted
it in the face of Mr.. Noel'S over
powering logic.
Encouraged by the reception
Mr.. Noel proposed that the society
and the Bar Association join hands
on the so-called Municipal Center
project and at that dinner the
matter had it's revival.
Thomas P. Littlepage headed
the Bar Association committee
which almost put the thing over
and it would have gone over if the
lawyers had gone to the bat with
the dissenting Senators and Con
gressmen on the question.
