NEW COURT RULES
TO.BE EFFECTIVE
Civil Procedure Change to
Be Made in District
Tribunal Tomorrow.

The new rules Of civil procedure in
District Court become effective tomor-
row, and q general term of the court
will be held to make their adoption
final. Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat
has arranged meeting Of all the
available justices tomorrow to 60 over
the rules, iron out any -difnculties
and officially promulgate them.
The main distinction in the new
rules is that they abolish the differ
ence between law and equity. Under
present plans the clerks ONCE pro-
poses to have the odd-numbered civil
cases filed on one side and the even
numbered on the other.
While some lawyers contend that
alimony that can be secured tmme-
diately, pending the outcome Of liti-
cation, is not adequately provided for
under the new rules, other attorneys
are. content to await an ofhcial-ruling
Of the court on the subject.
Temporary Confusion Expected.
Some confusion is bound to result
at the outset, in the opinion Of the
interested parties. but they say that
the new rules are calculated to SIM
plify procedure and abolish the pen
atty against litigants for the failure
Of their counsel to file necessary pa
pers at a given time. Instead Of the
age-old. long -winded legal phraseology
that has appeared in the pleadings
heretofore, the new rules contemplate
that but simple language will be re-
quired and straightforward state
ment Of the case made to the court.
A complaint, an answer and reply
will be the three main primary plead
ings, according to the present plan.
This will simplify the whole procedure
and tend to speed up justice. in the
opinion Of the sponsors Of the new
rules.
The new rules, promulgated tenta-
lively August .16,. are the result Of the
work of a special committee Of promi-
nent lawyers here, appointed by Dis
trict Court, and headed by H. Winship
Wheatley. Serving with Mr.. Wheatley
were: Lawrence Koenigsberger, Walter
N Tobriner, who served as secretary:
Mai. William s. Hodges, Percy H.
Marshall, Austin F. Garfield and Col.
Walter c. Clephsne.
District Court itself designated JUS
tice Jennings Bailey and Justice Oscar
r. Luhring as special committee
to formulate the new rules and they,
with the authority Of the court, named
the special committee of seven.
New Federal Rules.
The new rules of civil procedure
are to become effective here at the
same time that the new Federal rules,
promulgated by the Supreme Court
OF the United States for Federal
courts all over the Nation, become
operative. tomorrow. The new District
Court rules are calculated to avoid
multiplicity Of actions and provide for
code pleading in the District of Co.
lumbia, such as has prevailed for many
years in some other jurisdictions. The
ancient forms of pleading under the
common law Of England, which have
been in effect in this country. practi-
cally since the beginning, are abolished
under the new rules.

The Chinese are showing great cour-

The attitude toward education, he
said, was one Of the most interesting
things he found in China.
Faculties and students have walked
a thousand miles inland to keep up
their universities" he declared. "They
set up classes in barns or anything
they find. They don't need steam heat
In fact, they're hardly conscious Of

While he talked about China. Mrs.
Hughes was at his side listening in

the agony of knowing her husband

hand when the Democratic National
Convention convenes.
Virginia will have, in all probability,
a candidate in Senator Byrd, foe of
many New Deal policies and partic-
ularly its spending policy. Now that
Senator Tydings has been renominated
in Maryland over the protest of Mr..
Roosevelt, he is likely to loom large as
a favorite son candidate for the presi-
Dental nomination Mississippi Dem
ocrats already have put forward SEN
ator Harrison as their choice
There are two other presidential
possibilities, close to the Roosevelt ad-
ministration and part of it, who may
well have the support Of anti-New Deal
Democrats. They are Secretary of
State Hull and Jesse Jones of Texas
head of the Reconstruction Finance
Corp.
Both Generally Admired.
Secretary Hull has done an out
standing job. He has won the admira
ton of many people in all parts OF
the country, and is regarded as DEM
ocrat of the old school who has kept
up with the times. He Is widely known
to Democrats the Nation over, for he
served at one time as chairman of the
Democratic National Committee.
Mr.. Jones administration of the
agency set up to the aid of industry
has been particularly effective.
How well the inner New Deal circle
would regard the selection of either
Mr.. Hull or Mr.. Jones as the presi-
Dental nominee is another matter.
Unless there is a real change with
definite development of sentiment
for one particular candidate, the DEM
ocratic National Convention seems
headed toward first-class fight over
the nomination If the Republicans
throw enough of scare into the DEM
ocrets, there may be a general scurry
to insist on the denomination Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, on the theory that he
alone could win.
On the other hand, should the Dem
ocrats lose comparatively few con-
gressional seats in the coming elec-
tions, the intraparty strife may be in
tensified, with the Roosevelt New Deal
ers still intent on dominating all along
the line. The New Dealers will find

Gov. Frank Murphy of Michigan
received favorable mention in some
New Deal quarters for the presidential
nomination two years hence. Gov.
Murphy, however, faces a terrific fight
for reelection in his home State.
Grave doubt is expressed that he will
survive politically.
Senator Barkley Of Kentucky, the
Presidents choice for Democratic

Mr.. Roosevelt. Geographically, he
would not be particularly strong
candidate Furthermore, he would in
all probability be vigorously opposed
by large group in the national con-
vention.
While the New Deal favorites for
presidential honors have made SO little
progress to date, there is a growing
crop of Democratic presidential posi-
bilities on the other side Of the fence.
Many of these potential candidates will

Senator Clark OF Missouri and former

Second lieutenants don't order out

THE Japanese probably planned to
send the Panay to the bottom first and
then work on the convoy. They
weren't any more surprised than was
that the ship lasted as long as it did.
Later on, divers told me the Panay was
SO full Of holes it wouldn't even be
worthwhile to raise 1t.
THE planes started to bomb us when
we headed for shore in the lifeboat
but they ran out of bombs That's
why they turned the machine guns on

the machine gun fire, though. There

commander occupied himself with the
newspaper accounts of the incident"
1T was like going to football

you like to read your press notices"
The ne~spapefnien who covered the
disaster were all close friends Of the
commander.
When Nanking was bombed" he ev-
planned, "the reporters and newsreel
men became steady boarders on the
ship. No gunboat ever had better
company. We turned the sick bay
into a press room and had two signs
put up. The one in English Just said

STRONG CONGRESS
MINORITY SEEN
Defeat of Objectionable
Legislation Forecast by
townsend, White.
BY tf.e Associated Press.

By tie Associated Press.
Two Republican Senators predicted
yesterday that their party would mus
ter minority in the next Congress
capable, with some Democratic help,
Of preventing the passage of "objec-
tionable" New Deal legislation.
Chairman Townsend OF the Repub-
lican Senatorial Campaign Committee
expressed the opinion that Republicans
could count on four or five additional
seats in the Senate and about 80
more in the House. Senator White,
Republican, Of Maine also forecast
Substantial" gains.
I'VE ought to have enough strength
in the Senate, combined with some
Democratic opposition, to stop such
proposals as the reorganization bill. If
it is offered again in the same FORM"
Senator Townsend said.
Welcomes Two Party Basis.
He added he welcomed "the return
of the campaign to the two-party
basis" which he said was indicated
by Chairman Farley's recent state
ment that the Democratic National
Committee would support all party
nominees, some of whom were renom-
mated over presidential opposition.
''Mr. Farley had better get back into
the party all Of the people he can"
Senator White commented. Hes
liable to need them this fall"
The Maine Senator said he believed
the success of three Republicans who
won congressional seats in Maine. after
having pledged they would try to in
crease old-age pensions, had pushed
the pension issue to the fore in the ma
tional campaign.
Concentrates on Five States.
Senator Townsend agreed that pen
sion legislation was likely to assume
major proportions in the next congress
sional session. He said amendments
to the National Labor Relations Act,
legislation to aid the railroads and dis
cussion of the Neutrality Act also ap-
peared to be In the making.
Republican efforts are likely to be
directed toward attempts to trim some
governmental appropriations, Senator
Townsend said, although he predicted
Republican support for large relief,
Navy and War Department expendi-
lures.
The Republican campaign group is
understood to have concentrated its
efforts thus far toward electing sena-
torial candidates in five States-New
Jersey, New Hampshire, South Da-
kota, Kansas and Oregon. 1t also has
given attention to the campaigns in
Ohio, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa and Nevada.
