Corporation Counsel Elwood H.

were to confer this afternoon with
Mrs. Julia F. Crandall and other
officials Of the Cosmetology Board to
plan legal proceedings.
Unless customary procedure IS
changed, it is expected final court
test on the case may not be deter
mined for two years or more.
The Commissioners reversed their
stand for an amendment to the act,
to give beauty operators the right to
give treatments to customers in the
latters' homes, after consulting yes
terday with Mr.. Seal.
Seal Prefers Test.
Commissioner Melvin c. Hazen
had announced last Saturday the
corporation counsel had been di-
rected to prepare an amendment to
the act to eliminate the disputed
clause. in response to petition filed
by 244 prominent Washingtonians,
including Mrs. Louis Brandeis, wife
Of the Supreme Court justice.
Hints that the Commissioners be-
lieve the law should be administered
by the Health Department, rather
than by an independent board, were
heard during the discussion. THE
Commissioners did not sponsor the
act, which was successfully proposed
at the past session of Congress by
organized shop operators.
Mr.. Seal said he had persuaded
the Commissioners to change theiI
plan, on the ground it would be
proper to test the constitutionality
of the provision in court, instead ot
to propose an amendment.

On the other hand, Commissioner
Hazen had told reporters last Sat.

that the bans on independent opera,
