BAR
T0FIGHT TRIAL
PUBLICITY

BOSTON, Aug. 81 GN.SO.
Shsiving, temporarily at least, the
troublesome report of the Judge
Oscar Halam special committee
which attacked "hippodroming"
of the Hauptmann case, and
criticized prosecution and defense
attorneys, and Gov. Harold G.
Hoffman, the American Bar AS
sociation convention today concen-
trated on a plan for cooperation
between press, radio and bar on
publicity dealing with judicial pro-
ceedings.
The committee studying this
plan was headed by Newton D.
Baker, former Secretary Of War.
Other activity today included re-
ports Of the resolutions committee,
headed by Judge L. B. Bay, and
other important committees.
The annual dinner was sched-
uled tonight with Lord Wright Of
Durley, Lord Of Appeal in Ordi-
nary, Of England; Leonard C.
Brockington, K. c., Of Canada,
and John w. Davis, former Demo
cratic nominee for President, as
principal speakers.
Ransom Hits Report
DiSsention over the report of
Judge Halam's committee which
investigated the Lindbergh baby
trial, flared when President Will
liam L. Ransom, Of the bar aSSoci-
alton, disavowed it and criticized
Judge Halam for releasing it with
out authorization. Later, the
house of delegates, supreme body
Of the association, declined to &C
cept the report until it had been
mimeographed so that every dele
gate could examine it. Ransom
said it might come tomorrow, or
be put over until the next meeting
of the house Of delegates.
Judge Halam, however, aroused
by the attempt to Sidetrack his
report, declared:
81 am going on fighting for
ethical and fair handling Of
trials. The more famous the
trial, the worse the spectacle.
Twill stop it if I have to fight
to my last breath"
CUMMINGS SPEAKS
Attorney General Homer s.
Cummings, Hon. Henry Hanna,
K. c., Judge of the high court,
Irish Free State, and Sir Maurice
Sheldon Amos, professor Of COM
parative law at University Of Lon
don, addressed more than 5000
delegates last night.
Cummings said that for the
first time in so years there is a
definite law organization in which
national, State and local bar as
sociations are joined in one group.
Justice Hanna discussed the
bench and bar in Ireland during
the Nineteenth Century.
Professor Amos asserted there Is
need for a broad, interpretive his
tory of American law, and that it
should not be of cases, but Of
trends and liberalization in the
law, and should show the change
and the social forces that brought
about the change.

mayors of cities, the State officials,
the county and town ofiicials. These
like Federal relief for two reasons:
First, 1t gives them funds to dis
tribute, with which they increase their
political power. Second, Federal re-
lief Is to mayors and State officials a
special kind of relief. It relieves them
from raising local taxes, which would
be necessary to care for the helpless
IL the Federal Government did not do
it. These State. city and county OH
cials compose the most active part
Of what Lippman calls the "relief
lobby"
There is yet another vested interest
in relief. 1t consists of radicals, in
the administration and elsewhere, who
wish Federal relief perpetuated be-
cause 1t helps their purpose of chang
ing the American form of Government
and society. Their goal Is Govern
ment ownership and operation of all
industry. The larger the number Of
persons they can keep at work on
Government relief projects, the more
do they feel the country Is carried
toward their goal. They think the
mere existence of a large body of
unemployed is an argument for q new
form Of society, and they wish to see
this argument maintained and en-
larged.
Jobs Would Irk Element.
A wave of activity in private indus
try which would absorb all the unem-
ployed would distress the radicals
greatly. If they, from their leverage
in the administration, are able to dis
courage private industry, their beliefs
about social organization give them a
motive for doing SO. 1t is fundamen-
tai with the radicals that the best
way to promote new social order is
to make the old one unavoidable.
All these diverse groups have an
interest in the perpetuation Of Federal
relief. All are opposed to the only
true solution, which is to take the
responsibility for relief away from the
Federal Government. to turn the job
back to the States, the local communi-
ties. to families and individuals.
Leadership in this direction can hardly
come from Mr.. Roosevelt. for 1t was
he who first took on relief as a mainly
Federal responsibility. To some de-
gree, that step at the time Mr.. Roose-
welt took it, was justifable as an
emergency. But as in so many cases,
what Mr.. Roosevelt began as q laud-
able emergency Is becoming a sinister
permanency.
Possibly a future historian, trying
to devise a friendly epitaph about Mr.
Roosevelt's administration might say
that with motives good enough, but
with care-free buoyancy, with a 2est
for novelty for novelty's sake. he set
in motion forces which he could not
control; which, indeed, he had not
the temperament 70 try seriously to

r EE SIMONSON. helping prepare
the report and presenting it to
the Worlds Fair Board Of De-
A< sign, is an esthete who also is
strong for utility. AS a theatrical
designer and an authority on stage
craft. he has shaken up mor1bund de-
sign in the theater, but with a restraint
which never led him to ultra-mod-
ernism. One could fancy that he
would have liked Jules Guerin's pastel
colors on Travertine at San Francisco,
and the simple unity of design, and
that he would have had less enthusi-
asm for Chicago's dizzy zig-zag and
pin-wheel effects.
At any rate, Mr.. SimonSon and his
confreres on the committee don't want
to stress machines SO much as what
we get out of them, and they are out
for a general all-around. balanced,
civilized effect. Probably they would
not countenence the Holy Grail e.
hibit, with a shrill ballyhoo, which
featured the Chicago fair.
Mr.. Simonson was one of the found
ers and directors of the Theater Guild.
He has a lot of live ideas, mainly
against keeping the theater like a
parrot in a cage, and the world fair
plans give him a great chance to
branch out. If it's a good theater
it's a good fair, and he ought to be
able to help a lot. He is New York
and Harvard bred, now rounding so.
His esthetics are broadly based, but
he has two betes noir on which he
is quite unyielding. These are plush
furniture and red finger nails. He
wears mostly blue suits.

Walter Lippmann about a national
problem just looming into formidable
ness. Lippmanns article had no re-

ing the Nroad subject of national
policy abo.'. relief. But what Lippmann
said had a bearing on what the Or
ganized social workers did. quote
Lippmann.
THE vice of the system Is that 1t
is rapidly being converted from emer-
gency relief into a thing as perma-
nent as the veterans payments. There
is nothing in Mr.. Roosevelt's system
Of administering relief which causes
the system to liquidate itself. On the
| contrary, his method causes the sys-
tenn to consolidate itself. If it is not
| overthrown, we can easily find our
selves permanently committed, even
with full recovery, to annual Federal
payments of two billions or so to the
needy over and above the billion for
the veterans"
OtHcIS ITOHlOtc SySfms
1t is not the recipients of relief that
mainly tend to perpetuate the system.
They. poor devils, are not organized,
their voices are not loud, they are not
aggressive. They, in most cases, really
want relief to come to an end. They
want work at private jobs. But there
are other beneficiaries of the relief
system. If to the poor relief means
food, there is another class to whom
relief is meal ticket" in the slang
sense.
OF those to whom the relief system
meaps fairly well paid jobs in admin
istration. the organized social workers
| are perhaps the least to be criticized
or feared. Social workers as a class
are unselfish by temperament, and
their motive is more one of service
than of the comparatively small SAL
aries they receive. But it is enter
! tanning to observe that even they are
not immune to the motive that ami
| mates the individualist order of the
| society.
Because relief is their career, they

AS steel manufacturers like to see the
