CUMMINGS AIDING

ton to Roosevelt.

Attorney General Cummings today
facilitated action on a report from
Pardon Attorney Daniel NJ Lyons,
reliably reported to recommend COM
mutation to life imprisonment in the
sentence of Thomas Jordon. scheduled
to be electrocuted next Monday for the
murder of Mrs. Lizzie S. Jaynes.
Cummings, known to be deeply in
terested in new evidence presented in
Jordon's behalf, was expected to send
his own recommendation to President
Roosevelt today or tomorrow.
The President ordinarily follows the
advice Of the Attorney General in
such cases. President Roosevelt is
familiar with the case, having once
refused clemency to Jordon.
Not long after executive clemency
was denied. written and oral evidence
tending to throw doubt on the identi-
flcation of Jordan as the slayer of
Mrs. Jaynes was brought to light, and
the Justice Department reopened its
study of Jordan's conviction
Lyons questioned several witnesses
who are said to have described Mrs
Jaynes' slayer as being feet tall,
whereas, Jordan is about half a
foot shorter than that.
1t was indicated that, in view Of
this evidence in Jordan's favor, the
Justice Department will suggest to
the White House that the convicted
mans sentence be changed to life
Imprisonment in Federal peniten-
tiary.

Thomas Hopes to Halt" DE

Senator Thomas. Democrat, Of Ok
lahoma, said yesterday that the Senate
Agriculture Committee hoped to halt
the "def1ationary propaganda OF Sec
retary Wallace and other administra-
ton officials" by its current program
Of hearings.
Some of the members" he said,
have been trying for so days to get
farm leaders here to testify-not so
much in the interest of new legisla-
ton as to counteract an official atti-
tude that farm prices are high
enough"
Thomas, advocate Of cheaper money,
made the statement after the Execu-
tive Committee of the powerful Amer
ican Farm Bureau Federation had
thrown its support to the Oklaho-
mans bill to set up a Federal none
tary authority.
Chairman Jones of the House Agri-
culture Committee, leavinA a White
House conference, said 1t was pretty
late" in the congressional session for
general farm legislation.
But our committee will proceed to
study the matter" he said. 1t might
be that we can agree on a measure

Social Security Board Estimates
There Are. $500 to Re-

A Federal grant of s44,o6541 to the
District of Columbia for aid to the
aged was announced today by the So
cial Security Board, which estimated
there are $500 beneficiaries OF this
type of assistance here.
The local grant was included in q
total Of sl4,405, 909 for public assist
ance for 81 States. All but about three
quarters Of a million went to the aged,
the rest to children and blind.
Twenty-eight States and the Dis
trict now are participating in all
phases of the Federal-State public
assistance program.
The board today also cautioned en-
ployers to be certain that the right So
cial security account numbers are used
when listing employees for old-age
benefits. The admonition was prompted
because of cases arising where employ
ers seek to obtain the numbers of
workers no longer in their service.

Told that fraudulent procurement
OF divorces in Washington amounts
almost to public scandal. the Dis
trict Bar Association last night voted
an investigation.
A committee of seven was author
lied to inquire into existing conditions
and practices and recommend to the
association measures best calculated
to remedy the situation and protect
the public"
Jean Boardman, who was active in
obtaining enactment of the Districts
liberalized divorced statute, told the
attorneys that "a good law is being
used as an instrument by unscrupu-
lous persons to obtain fraudulent di-
vorces." Himself an attorney special
izing in divorce practice, Boardman
said9 large percentage Of divorce
cases here are fraudulent.
Client Changes Story:
. The court is being imposed upon
in an appalling number Of cases, "
he declared The time has come
when we, as lawyers, must act to
prevent a public scandal.
Il am not saying members Of the
bar are responsible. I think they,
also, are being imposed upon.
"A client will go to lawyer and
tell him the truth, and the lawyer
will advise him he has no grounds
for divorce, that If he persists, he
may find himself charged with per-
jury
Then, to the first lawyers sur
prise, he will see next week in the
legal record that his client has filed
suit for divorce The client will have
learned enough from the first lawyer
to know what to tell the second.
Il have had that experience many
times. and I know many of you have
had the same experience
Senator King, chairman OF the
Senate District Committee, foresaw
this difficulty when .the divorce bill
was pending, and predicted 1t would
lead to fraud, but We assured him,
Boardman continued, that, We had
a section in our code which would
protect US
The section referred to provides
that should a divorce case be uncon-
tested, the court must appoint dis
interested attorney actively to defend
the case.
Sees Passive Opposition.
The difficulty, Boardman told hi!
fellow lawyers. is that the attorney
appointed to defend does not actually
defend, but sits passively in court ape
often does not even ask a question.
What usually occurs is that tht
lawyer appointed by the court write!
the defendant letter and is informed
he will not or does not want to con.
test the case, Boardman explained
He said the attorney then notifies tht

court Of the defendants attitude and
there is no active defense.
Much of the fraud and collusion in
procuring divorces would be elimi-
mated II attorneys appointed by the
court conducted a real investigation
and an active defense, Boardman as
serted.
Congress had in mind that the
public is always a third party in every
divorce case. and Congress intended
that the public should be represented
by the attorney appointed to defend"
he said.

A bill to change the procedure for
adoption by requiring a six-montl Pc
rlod between an interlocutory and

lived for six months with its adop-
tive parents prior to filing of the

the association.

against the proposal to increase the

CHARGES AIRED
Lawyers for Policeman De-
mand u. S. Attorney Study
Developments.

A defense demand that the United
States attorneys Office be acquainted
with developments in the ticket-fxing
charge against Policeman Wexford E.
Winfield, formerly of the Traffic Bu-
reau, was taken under consideration
today by Police Trial Board hearing
the case.
The demand was made by Attorneys
Charles E. Ford and William McGrath
during cross-examination of Miss
Jessie ]. Ball. prosecution witness.
The defense contended there were dis
crepancies in the testimony of Miss
Ball and also between statements she
has made and those by Charles Lin
kins, lawyer, who also was sum-
moned by the prosecution.
Differences at Issue.
The differences center mainly about
introduced, in which Miss Ball related
happenings at the home OF Winfield
when she was in attendance on the
policemans' estranged wife, who now
is dead. One angle remaining in
doubt is whether the statement was
taken down at Miss Balls direction by
Linkins or by Teunis Collier, the
Georgetown traffic crusader whom
Linkins is now representing in court
action against District officials who
enforce law against traffic violators.
Ford, who has charged in the past
hoe h p1i ic Ho H-tN rf
frame-up, vigorously attacked the tess..
timony given thus far in making hltl
demand for an investigation by the
United States attorney. Assistant Cor
poration Counsel E. NJ Welliver, the
prosecutor, contends that some of the
items pointed to by the defense as dis
crepancies are immaterial.
Board to Consider Facts.
Inspector Edward j. Kelly, who is
conducting the hearing with Capt.
Joseph Morgan and Capt. Lloyd Kelly,
said the the board would give due con-
sideration to the defense contention.
The cross ss-examination of Miss Ball
precluded any action by the board
designed to support the charge against
Winfield. This material, which was
identified Monday, came into the hands
of the Police Department through
Linkins, who said he received 1t from
Mrs. Winfield. Among the items are
a number of unserved traffic warrants.
The hearing was adjourned this aft
ernoon until Friday.
