PRELIMINARY HEARING
OF KURTZ POSTPONED

A preliminary hearing in Police
Court of the embezzlement charge
against Carl R. Kurtz, A, head of the
investment house of Stroud, Kurtz &
Co., was postponed today until April
"a.
The case may be presented to the
grand jury before that time.
The expedient of arresting Kurtz
on Police Court warrant was re-
sorted to after doubt had been thrown
by Court of Appeals decision on the
legality of the last grand jury, which
already had considered his case.
Because of the presence of dis
qualified Government employees on the
jury, it was decided to represent the
case.

Lincoln Shri1,es
.Attract Many on
Death Anniversary

!, Lincoln Memorial, in sunny Spring
setting, and the old Ford's Theater
drew hundreds of Easter holiday sight
seers today on the seventy-first ami
yersary of the Great Emancipator
death.
g The old Tenth street theater, where
Lincoln was fatally wounded, lies off
the regular tourist route, and this
probably was one reason why hum
dreds Of spectators saw the Memo
rial, with its suggestion of Lincoln's
enduring greatness, while only scores
made pilgrimage to the scene of his
tragic end.
& Since 1892 the Federal Government
has maintained a Lincoln Museum In
the theater where the wartime Presi-
dent was shot by John Wilkes Booth.
Across the street another museum is
kept in the old Petersen home, where
lincoln died.
The corridors of both were comfort-
sbly filed today. At least 5000 visitors
were expected before the doors close
tonight. About $4,000 persons have
visited the new museum annually
since 1t was opened four years ago.

ADVOCATE LEGISLATION
TO PROMOTE JUSTICE
DR.. Kiniery Holds World Gov
ernment Body Impossible Until
Dictators Disappear"

A United States of Europe and an
inter- American organization to bring
about lowering of economic barriers
were advocated by clergymen and lay
men today as the Tenth Annual Con-
ference of the Catholic Association for
International Peace neared adjourn
ment at the Mayf1ower Hotel.
A committee report urged legislative
action to promote justice and set forth
the philosophical ideal of a self-gov-
erning world economic order. Such
an ideal can be achieved, the COM
mittee declared, through world eco
nonic conferences and world govern
mental organization.
I'm the Western Hemisphere there
are special interests which may per-
hapS be more easily promoted by a
American organization than by
the World Society acting as a whole,
the committees report stated. In one
respect the Monroe Doctrine may be
regarded as principle OF regional
application; although 1t might be
argued that if the World Society were
able to establish a system of co-opera-
tive defense universally applicable
there would be no more need OF the
Monroe Doctrine"
Later the committee reported it may
be necessary to form a regional organ
ization in Europe, along the lines of the
United States of Europe" proposed by
BRAND a decade ago.
One member of the committee, DR.
Paul Kiniery. assistant dean of the
Graduate School at Loyola University
expressed pessimism concerning the
hope of achieving the utopian ideal.
Until relationships disappear" he
remarked, world government organ

After stressing the need for legis-
