Letters to The Star
Defends Maryland
Fee System.

DOlCHuS SldHu
Fee System.
To the Editor OF The Star:
Recently you published in your edi-
torial columns statement to the effect
that justices of the peace of Maryland
were paid only when verdict of guilty
was rendered That is not true. When
case 10 dismissed or the defendant
found not guilty the justice. of the peace
is paid his costs by either the county
commissioners or the commissioner of
motor vehicles, depending on whether or
not 1t is g case of traffic violation. AS
far as the fees are concerned it is i'm
material to the justice of the peace
whether the arrested person is found
guilty or not.
The constant reiteration of the phrase
"fee system is simply used as a smoke
screen by those who desire to make a
change. In all courts there are fees.
even If they are glorified by the word
costs" And in these courts the costs
are very much higher than are allowed
the justice of the peace
There is determined effort by poll
ticlans and some attorneys OF Prince
Georges County to do away with the
justice of the peace system and estab-
lish what they choose to call "inferiof
courts At first the argument was used
that this would take the matter out of
politics. AS any thinking person can
see, this would put the matter definitely
in politics. So now these people are
harping on the phrase fee system The
reason for this desire to change our
justice OF the peace system is very simple.
1t would give the politicians more Jobs
to hand out
The justice of the peace system costs
the county practically nothing, while
the inferior court" system would in
crease the expense to the county by
very considerable amount. Each judge
would be paid a salary, and each judge
would have at least one clerk under
salary, and there would be the cost of
the upkeep OF the courts quarters. And
no matter whether the court had one
case a month or thousand he would
receive his salary just the same. The
justice of the peace receives costs for
only those cases that actually come be-
fore him.
This agitation does not come from any
public demand. A person arrested under
the present system can have an imme-
diate hearing, and in traffic cases can
have an immediate trial But cases
brought before the Police Court many
times have to wait as long as four days
for trial, and during that time the
arrested person must remain in the lock-
up or put up heavy bond or collateral,
and it was this situation that caused
the bonding scandal" that was aired in
the newspapers short while ago.
If The Star desires to mix In the
politics of Maryland it should first ascer-
tain the facts In the case, for in the
editorial mentioned above great injustice
was done the justices Of the peace Of
Maryland. J.P,

way Of gliding an innocuous lily, that
mo new commitments for an ar
rargement or agreement either were
asked or entered into on either side"
An additional statement that "Mr.
.Chamberlain's views on various Eu-
ropean questions remained un-
changed" and that "these were SUM-
ciently well known" suggests that
the doctrine he expounded in Rome
amounted to this: CD That his zeal
for European appeasement is unim-
paired even by the succession of
disconcertifg events in Germany and
Italy which followed in the wake of
Munich; e, that there can be no
question of recognizing General
Franco as belligerent until Italy
fulfills her pledge to withdraw Fascist
troops from Spain, and 90 that any
Italian attempt forcibly to alter the
status quo in the Mediterranean or
North Africa by territorial spoliation
of France is certain to encounter
British opposition.
Thus, as far as can be Judged by
any specific disclosure, about all that
Mussolini got out of Mr.. Chamber
lain's call was the satisfaction of
hearing the Prime Minister toast
King Victor Emmanuel as the EN-
pcrcr of Ethiopia" by this token
according the Italians the coveted
British recognition of their African
conquest. If this means that the
London money market is now in re-
ceptive mood for Ethiopian exploita-
ton loans, Italy will not feel that the
advance agent of appeasement tar
ried on the Tiber in vain.
Meantime, London and other Euro
pean capitals seem still to be Won
dering what all the Rome shooting
was about Time alone will tell,
according to Virginio Gayda, Mus
solini's unofficial spokesman. Italy's
demands on France, that oracular
authority says, will not be pressed
Immediately, but will be upheld
when the right moment arrives and
in a fitting manner" There is little
in such an assurance to encourage
Britain to dismount any guns at
Gibraltar or relax the watch on the
SueZ.

Shooting Stors
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
Humanity.

Humanity.
Every time you walk the street
What a lot of folks you meet
Whom you never saw before:
Whom you'll ne'er encounter more!
Every car that rolls along
Holds of strangers such a throng!
Every dot upon the map
Marks city. Not rap
Do these myriad beings care
For the ills that others bear,
Nor the pleasures others know
AS their various ways they 20.
All are strangers till a song
Or story comes along.
Or some little sentence fraught
With a new and forceful thought.
Then one mighty impulse thrills ,
And the song or laughter fills
All the world with echoes gay.
And each mortal seems to say:
What a pleasure tbs to strike
Men with taste to mine alike!
Though know them not by name,
All our moods are much the same.
I'm regretting more and more
That we hadn't met before!"

National Doctors
Day Proposed.

To the Editor of The Star:
Through this medium I am going to
ask that the Congress of the United
States now in session, designate a ma
tional doctors day." and that day be
October 13, to honor the wonderful men
and women physicians throughout the
land who have done 50 much good for
humanity. There are thousands of doc
tors whose charitable deeds will never
be known.
AS our parents are the instruments by
which God gives us life, so the physi-
clans assist in bringing us safely into the
world, and they make great sacrifices
in going forth any hour of the day or
night to heal the sick and comfort
the dying.
So, when our august body Of repre-
sentatives make this day reality, let
us send flowers, beautiful card of ap-
probation or that long promised check
to my doctor" on doctors day.

Jay Franklin Does Not

To the Editor Of The Star.
The article by Jay Franklin in the
issue of January shows that he may
know the subject Of politics but he
doesn't know his accounting.
Accountants do all of the things he
mentioned and many more of which he
has no conception.
The interests of the public, banks and
stockholders, are we'll safeguarded by
accountants. The facts in the McKesson
& Robbins case notwithstanding.
Here's hoping Jay Franklin will not

NEW YORK. Jan. 10 up -
Out from the darkness OF distant
skies they come flashing over the
fistic horizon-two brand new
clout comets. either of whom may
make a quick change in the future
of pugilism. They are Billy Conn
and Lou Nova, the most talked-oi
newcomers to the blg-money flgnt
game:
Right now they loom as the out
standing future white hopes who
may wrest the world heavyweight
championship from that Brown
Bomber" Joe Louis.
These rising stars of fistlana are
mentioned in the same breath. They
are headed for the same ultimate
goal. But their backgrounds are
so dissimilar.
Nova. the Alameda Adonis OF
California, rises from a cultured
background. LOUIS father was a
symphony orchestra musician. He
was educated in grammar school.
high school and college before he
tried to wrest wealth from tough
world so that he could marry a
society girl and make her happy.
Yet today, Lou Nova's greatest ring
asset is recognized as one OF the
most primitive-punch. Despite
Nova's triumph over Tommy Farr
his critics severeSt shafts are lev
elled at his brainwork in the ring
at his poise-his boxing ability.
Meanwhile another handsome lad
has come whirling out Of Pitts
burgh: Billy Conn. Conn is just
a tough Irish kid from the poorer
district of the Smoky City. He
claims that he went as far as the
eighth grade in school He haH
no ambitions for society gals nor
wealth. He was just tough gu.
who wanted TO make money with
his fists-so that ultimately he
might have an income Of $50 a
week.
But Conn today is hailed as the
master scientist among the big fel-
lows who belt. After his brilliant
victory over Fred Apostoli at Madi-
son Square Garden Friday night
the sports writers are calling him
a mastermind of maui They are
lauding his ring generalship-his
technique. But they deplore his
lack Of primitive punch. They say
this lad who rose the hard way can
not punch his way out of paper
bag. He can fill your eyes with
more leather than anyone since
the days Of Harry Greb-but that
leather doesn't hurt. He's a powder
puff puncher.
At the present writing Nova and
Conn stand out the two lads most
likely TO give heavyweight cham
pion Joe Louis a battle Tor his
crown But both are far away
from a title fight. Nova must ac-
