Newly Enacted Laws
Which Need Amendment.

While there are probably others
which need amendment, there is
a movement on foot to have
amended both the new lunacy
law and the law governing the
practice Of cosmetology. The
lunacy law is considered as first
class, as far as it goes, but must
have few notifications. There
is need for provision whereby
persons suffering from mental
illness may be accepted for treat
ment as pay patients at St.
Elizabeth's. This would make
available to those able to pay, the
facilities of the best hospital in
the country for the treatment of
mental cases. The other amend
ment, which those interested in
such cases regard as needed, is
to provide for the preliminary
detention and examination at St.
Elizabeth's instead of in the psy-
copathic ward at Gallinger Hos
pital. Such transfer, it is claimed
by proponents. would work out
much more satisfactorily and
efflciently and be a decided relief
to Gallinger Hospital. St. Eliza
beth's is said to be far better
equipped to handle this work of
observation and examination and
IN addition would be able to keep
Those mentally III persons from
close proximity to the psyco-
pathic cases.
The restrictions on giving
beauty treatments in the homes,
as imposed by the cosmetology
OF beautician's law, has raised a
considerable furor and resulted in
the rolling up of a long list of
influential supporters of amend
ment. 1t is reported that the
corporation counsel is opposed to
amendment until a test of the
provision in the courts. Advo-
Gates of repeal fear that the
court process would be apt to be
tco long drawn out, and they
want prompt relief.
While the Health Department
favored this legislation, it is
thought that it was sought prin-
cipally by those engaged in the
business through desire to es-
tablish themselves as a profess
sional group licensed after exam
ination by a board made up of
those engaged in the business.
Advocates of amendment cite
inconvenience and hardship on
those desiring such treatments
in their homes and also on many
competent operatives who have
had for long time well-estab-
lished business among an ex-
tenSiYe clientele.

legislative recommendations to
Congress, it would meet more
nearly the local desires. The num-
ber Of well-informed, public -spir-
tied citizens who give largely OF
their time in trying to help solve
the District problems are re-
garded as far more capable than
the Budget Bureau to give prac-
tical advice as to such District
needs.
Why, ask our civic leaders,
should not the Commissioners
have the privilege of reporting di-
rect to Congress their recon-
mendations both as to the budget
and to legislation? The organized
groups have with one accord been
urging that Congress cut COM
pletely the strings that tie the

Game At Moorheud
BY William Cathey

The Holmes Junior College fans
as well as team members needed sew
eral doses of stimulants on the Moor.
head diamond Tuesday afternoon
when an almost incredible act enabled
the S~unflower baseballers to over
come a 3 to / lead held by Goodman
and later win the contest 4 to 8.
The incident happened like a bolt
out of the proverbial blue and left
the Bulldog fans in a very despair
ing mood.
Lefty Dicken was doing the pitch
ing for the losers and faring ere
ditably on the slab, having held the
enemy to three scattered hits. With
two men out and Reynolds on first
by virtue of a walk, the Holmes off
the next two batters. Then came
the unexpected and dish~eartening col
lapse of the Goodman defense. Cot
ton lifted an easy fly just back Of
second in short right field that Lo-
vette had without a doubt caught,
put lHt ptiitl ltit IIOIn MS naEuS
and both Reynolds and Tanning scam
pered home to tie the figure at san.
To add more chagrin to the already
nervous filters Of the Goodman sup
porters, the catcher, for some I'M
known reason, tossed the bali to Lo-
vette at second with Hindsman, the
only occupant of the sacks, and the
latter dashed home for the winning
tally.
1t was very uncomfortable and un-
enjoyable windup for the Holmes left
handler, who was toeing the slab with
all the confidence of a veteran ma
jor Lacquer.
Adrian Vernon did the biggest pill
blasting for the losers when he
crashed a tremendous line drive
home run over the left field fence
to register behind Bowen, who was
on the hassock by virtue of an err
ror.
Sister johnson tossed winning bal
for the Trojans in permitting 5 safe
ties and striking out IL to Dickens
z, but the latter was a victim of
strange circumstances.

Jerome Frank Expected
To Be New ). f. T.. Head
By the Associated Press.

oy tNe ASsOCldLeQ freSS.
Although an air of controversy g
surrounding the election this week
of new chairman of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. predic-
tions were heard in well-informed
quarters today that the members
would choose Jerome Frank as their
head.
The first intimation of a serious
clash over the Craftsmanship came
last week when Leon Henderson was
confirmed as a commissioner by
the Senate. At that time Commits
sioner George c. Mathews said he
did not intend to vote for Mr.. Frank
as chairman.
Mr.. Henderson succeeds William
o. Douglas, who resigned the chair
manship to become Supreme Court
Justice. The five commissioners
elect a chairman from their ranks.
Commissioner Robert E. Healy
said he would vote as he pleased, but
declined further comment. Thus far
there has been no indication of how
Commissioners Frank. Henderson
and Edward c. Eicher would vote.
Although Mr.. Healys vote is un-
certain. many persons familiar with
the S. E. c. have expressed the opin-
ion that Mr.. Frank, a consistent
supporter of the Roosevelt admins
tration. will get the vote of his fell
low New Dealers, Henderson and
Eicher.
