WPA TO SERVE
SCHOOL MEALS

More than 5000 children who
otherwise would go hungry at
lunchtime will be fed by free hot
meals at District schools in the
new session opening Monday under
a plan announced by the Works
Progress Administration.
Mrs. Mary Steele, director of
women's activities for the District
WPA, said 5000 children will be
served. The number may be in
creased later in the session, for
already 1913 requests have been
received. But at the start the
number will be kept the same as
at the end of last session, due to
limited resources.
In 80 Schools-73 public and
seven parochiaIWPA workers
will serve the meals to the chill
dren. For many of them it will be
the most nourishing meal of the
whole day.
From a central kitchen, where
they will be cooked by WPA labor,
the meals will be taken by truck
to the various schools.

fight against q twO-and-a-

.SimpIified Procedure
Begins Tomorrow

When John @. Public goes to
law in the future, he will not have
to hire an expensive attorney to
provide page after page showing
that whereas the party of the first
part, hereinafter so referred to,
does hereby assert, aSseverate,

and say and /or both, thus and so
to the great injury, hurt, harm
and detriment Of the said party Of
the first part!
PLAIN ENGLISH o. X.
All he'll have to do is say right
out that Emil Public hit him on
the beezer, which is the reason he
wants Emils residence to be Setab-
lished in the hoosegow-at least
until his nose heals!
This simplification Of procedure
goes into effect tomorrow when
the District Courts General Ses-
sion is begun, and inaugurates the
reforms drawn up by the Supreme
Court of the United States during
q 1894 Act Of Congress.
More than 800 young lawyers
in the District have been taking
special courses for weeks now. un'
learning how to tangle themselves,
their clients, and the courts up
in rhetorical and legalistic noodle
soup.
SIMPLICITY NEW RULE
Many technicalities are, under
the new rules, as dead as the dodo
which now lives only in crossword
puzzles. Many court formalities
will be dispensed with-some OF
them barking back to days when
English common law began.

 Doesn't Relieve Japan
 Referring to the statement re- gently made that Japan had made an agreement with the United States that she would withdraw her activities from the Bering Sea, Senator Copeland indicated the little value he placed in such a report, even though it should be true, and he used this very report as strengthening the position of Senator Bone and Delegate Dimond in sponsoring the legislation they have proposed to forever maintain American rights in the Alaska sal mon when he said. Tt was only the first of this month, about 10 days ago, that the statement came out of Tokyo that the Japanese had withdrawn their research ships. Of course, Japan always has dis claimed having any fishing vessels or commercial vessels there. There fore, I have a right to take the position that Japan has withdrawn from the Boring Sea. That being so, I do not see that any nation is likely to challenge our right to assert jurisdiction over that sea. ;"
 Legal Justification
 During the course of his speeches, Senator Copeland quoted extensive ly from the statement made by the Delegate before the House Commit tee. In the conclusion of his argu ment the Senator made the state ment: T have utterly failed in my argument if I have not demon strated that there is just as much international legal justification for fixing the limit at 100 miles or 200 miles as there is for fixing it at 12 miles. My profound conVic- ton is that there is no doubt of our right to do it. That takes in the continental shelf It gives a definite boundary to our posses sions.'
 Senator Copeland's strong posi-
