newly organized Washington Self-Help
Exchange and pays for the shoes with

organization became real. A special

concern on its way. The exchange
was incorporated last June.

Eight Of the nine justices were

A total of 469 criminal cases Of all
kinds are awaiting trial. The law
calendar has on it ,033 cases and the

Under orders from Justice O'Don-
oghue as assignment Judge, uncon-
tested divorce cases will not be tried
out of their regular turn, as has been
done in the past, but must take their
regular place on the calendar. This
probably will mean that such cases,
which often were disposed of in
