/. TO MEET MONDAY
TO ADOPT RULES
Powers and Procedure of
Adjustment Board to Be
Decided Then.
MANY CHANGES URGED
IN PUBLIC HEARING
Few Seen Likely, However-Ban
on Rehearing of a Denied
Case Is Suggested.

Members of the District Zoning
Commission will meet in executive
session Monday to adopt regulations
to govern the powers and procedure
OF the newly created Board of Zoning
Adjustment in acting on proposed
exceptions from prevailing rules in
specific cases.
Many changes were suggested at
yesterdays public hearing, some Of
which would make considerable
changes in the plan drafted by COM
mission experts. Indications came to-
day from one commission member
that probably few changes would be
ordered.
The commission was asked to adopt
rule banning rehearing of a case
of proposed change in zoning once
denied until after a period of five
years had elapsed. This suggestion
was advanced by L. A. Carruthers,
president of the Federation of Citi-
zens' Associations, who argued that
coming now should be more "perma-
nent in nature" and that civic spokes-
men protesting changes should not
be required to fight the same cases
year after year. A similar plan was
urged by Edwin S. Hege of Chevy
Chase.
Rehearing in Years Hit.
Mr.. Carruthers agreed, however, a
rehearing of a case should be per-
mitted within five years, provided
there were changes in circumstances
affecting the property in question.
One member of the commission said
he felt fve-year ban on rehearings
would be entirely too long. that con-
ditions in neighborhood might
change considerably in that time.
Capt. Hugh P Dram, executive
officer of the commission, said he
had received food of inquiries from
property owners who are awaiting
chance to file appeals from existing
rules with the new adjustment board.
He warned that any substantial change
made in the draft of the rules would
have to be advertised before it could
be placed into effect.
No Bar to Appeal.
George A. Corbin, president Of the
Manor Park Citizens Association, de-
clared the new regulations should
contain provision for an appeal from
decisions by the adjustment board
directly to the Zoning Commission
before it was necessary to consider
an appeal to the courts.
He said the amendments to the
zoning code provided there should be
no bar to an appeal to the commits
sion from the adjustment board, but
that this could not be done unless
machinery for such appeals was in
serted in the pending rules.

Should wife have to wait when
her husband is to pick her up after
work?
This ponderous question was raised
in Traffic Court today when Charles
H. Binkley, 38, of Lanham, Md, ap-
peared before Judge John P. Nc
Mahon on charge of parking in a
restricted zone in the 17OO block of
I street NV.
Binkley pleaded that he had an en-
gagement to meet his wife, a secre-
tary in the American Association of
University Women, when she got off
work. He had been parked only about
one minute, he said, when Pvt. c. F..
Thompson of No. 3 precinct gave him
a ticket.
The court inquired of the defendant
how many were employed at the asso-
citation headquarters, and Binkley es-
timated about 20.
Suppose the husbands of all of them
had your same idea and parked to
wait for them?" Judge Mcmahon
asked.

WITNESS RIGHTS
T0[DTQLAWYERS
Rules Allow Protection
Against Embarrassment,
Professor Says.

Protection against embarrassment
of witness can be claimed under rule
80 of the new rules governing civil pro-
cedure in Federal courts, but a witness
cannot claim embarrassment because
he is asked to tell the truth, Prof.
William w. Dawson of the Western
Reserve University Law School, Cleve-
land, Ohio, said today
He spoke to nearly 1000 Maryland,
Virginia and District lawyers, who
crowded the auditorium at the Cham
Der of Commerce Building, 1915 H
street NV. for the second day of
three-day institute on the 86 new
rules issued by the Supreme Court
recently in accordance with an act of
Congress in 1884
Prof. Dawson discussed rules 26-27,
covering depositions and discovery, ex-
planning their simplified operation
over previous practice.
Il think you will all agree with me-"
he said, that there has been generally
in deposition cases, great deal of
red tape"
Taft Ruling Cited.
The speaker cited ruling of former
Chief Justice Taft, made when he
was a judge in Cincinnati in connec-
ton with the protection of witnesses
from embarrassment, in which Mr.
Taft pointed out that having to tell
the truth did not constitute legal en-
barrassmen.
Remember" he said, the witness
belongs to both sides"
Prof. Dawson was introduced by
Judge w. Calvin Chestnut of the
United States District Court for Mary
land, who discussed trials and pre-trial
procedure.
This afternoon the lawyer-students
were to take up rules 1882, covering
trials, evidence, official record, jurors,
special verdict instructions and find
ings. Robert H. Jackson, solicitor gen.
eral of the Department of Justice, was
to preside and Edgar B. Tolman, Sec
retary of the Supreme Court Advisory
Committee, was to do the explaining.
Patent Law Questions.
Questions in patent litigation aris-
ing under the new rules will be dis
cussed in seminar tonight at
o'clock, led by Nathan Heard of Bos-
ton and William s. Hodges of Wash
ington.
Robert G. Dodge, another member
of the Supreme Court Advisory Com
mittee, tomorrow will take up the
rules relating to judgments, defaults,
summary and declaratory judgment,
new trials, relief from judgment, stay
of proceedings and disability of a
judge.
The session will begin at 10 am.
with an address by Judge John ].
Parker of the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals for the Fourth Cir
cult, on some of the practical details
of handling case under the new rules.
The institute will close with ad-
dresses by Judge George Donworth of
the Advisory Committee and Justice
Oscar r. Luhring of District Court.

vey. More than 1000 children were
found who had difficulties In articu-
lation
With this knowledge to go on Miss
Hedrick opened three clinics, one at
Episcopal Hospital, one at George
town University Hospital and the last
one at the Woman's Clinic, located
where the Family Service Association
now has its Office.
During the war the clinic was closed
at Episcopal for lack of space. The
one at the Woman's Clinic lasted for
about 10 years. and the Georgetown
University Hospital clinic has con-
tinued till the present time. Miss
Hedrick works with her patients one
day each week, and they practice at
home between lessons. The clinic is
open every Thursday afternoon.
"The most important advice I can
give parents" Miss Hedrick declared.
"is to tell them to consult speech
specialist if they notice any signs of
a speech defect. The earlier they
can work on the difficulty the easier
it is to halt it,"

Woman Who Frees Youngsters
Of Speech ILLS Hits Parents
Baby Talk Is Her Chief
Problem, Declares,
Miss Hedrick.

A f1axen-haired 5-year-old came to
see Miss Jennie Hedrick at her
speech clinic in Georgetown University
Hospital
The little boy was frightened at
first and very nervous Miss Hedrick
tried to question him, but he could
make only unintelligible sounds. The
woman with him explained he could
say a few words but couldn't make
sentences. His speech defect made
him restless and easily excited.
Each week he will come to Miss
Hedrick FOR individual treatment. She
will diagnose his case first, find out
what speech defect interferes with
the youngsters conversation. Then
she will start her treatment.
For % years parade of children
and older people have crossed the
threshold into Miss Hedrick's tiny do
main. In that time hundreds have
been released from the bondage of
faulty speech
Yesterday the clinic began another
year of service. Miss Hedrick's work
is voluntary, but she has devoted most
of her life to correcting speech dis
orders on the theory that they are
even more important than many phys
ical defects.
Can you imagine how awful it is
not to be able to talk?" she asked
Most frequent speech defect Miss
Hedrisk has encountered has been
faulty articulation in children, or baby
talk.
Part Of that is the parents fault"
she said. Parents should never talk
baby talk or encourage their children
to talk that way"
When Miss Hedrick conceived the
idea of starting clinic she went to
the public schools and suggested they
send the children with speech de-
fects to her. She was told none of
the children had speech troubles

LONDON, Nov. l1.-Britain hon.
ored her soldier dead today mind
full Of two wars-one that ended two
decades ago and one that did not
break out last month.
King George vi led the nation in
the World War Armistice Day serv-
ice at the foot of the cenotaph in
Whitehall.
Trenches nearby and along his
route to the centotaph, hastily dug
in parks in the last days of Septem-
ber, were reminders of the war that
did not start-evaded by the Munich
agreement to let Germany have her
way in Czechoslovakia.
The giant rearmament plants,
with the rest of industry, observed
at II am. the 2-minute memorial to
silence-then rushed on to prepare
British defenses against the day
when war danger may arise again.
King George, accompanied by
Queen Elizabeth, went to Whitehall
shortly before II o'clock to place a
wreath at the foot of the soldier
Memorial, where all night long
flowers and wreaths had been sent.
Soldiers About Cenotaph.
The Queen, Queen Mother Mary
and the Duchess of Kent watched
from an upper balcony of White
halls home Office. Soldiers formed a
square about the cenotaph, with men
of the navy, airforce, army and ex-
service men marching in the me-
mortal procession.
Police and soldiers were grouped
about the King, alert against any
repetition Of the disturbance last
year when a man broke the 2-minute
silence by crying, "All this is hypoc-
risy-yeu are deliberately preparing
for war"
The man was declared insane, but
pacif1st commentators at the time
wrote, HE talked sanely enough"
King George wore an admiral's
uniform as, at the head of his min
listers and leaders of his defense
forces, he saluted the Empires mil
lion war dead.
No untoward incident marred the
event. After the monarch, Prime
Minister Neville Chamberlain and
representatives of the dominions and
the armed services had placed
wreaths at the cenotaph, Big Ben,
atop Parliament, tolled the hour, and
minutes of silence followed.
The period marked the end Of q
20-year era in which these develop
ments have occurred:
The League of Nations has lost its
peace-making force, at least tenn
porarily.
France has lost her dominating
position in Europe.
Germany has become increasingly
strong in Central and Southeastern
European diplomacy and economics.
Great Britain has come to pin her
hopes to peace in our time" policy
but is rearming rapidly
These and like developments
brought the exclamation from Win
ston Churchill: Now the victors
are vanquished, and those who
threw down their arms in the field
and sued for peace are striding on
to world mastery"
War Cost $1S6, 6,o0O, ,oOe, 900.
Twenty years ago the arnistice
ended war that cost 80 nations the
lives of 100000 900 men and $780,
600 0.000,0 ,000 After the conflict, the
treaty of Versailles-now torn up by
a loser, Ger1nany-forced Germany
to relinquish arms, colonies and
much territory. The peace estab-
lished the League Of Nations and
Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Poland,
Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania. It
ended the Austro-H Hungarian En-
pire.
