DC. Bar Right 10 Pui
It's Library in Public
Space Is Questioned
Court Proceedings
Asked to Gust Books,
Gain More Room

The legal authority of the Dis
trict Bar Association to occupy pub
lie space in the District Court build
ing for its library was challenged
today by Attorney James j. Laugh
lin, who asked United States At
torney Edward NJ Curran to in
stitute court proceedings.
In a letter to the public prosecu-
tor, Mr.. Laughlin said that he would
give the District Attorneys Office
until December to launch the case
through complaint for writ of
quo warranto-"by what warrant"
against the association. II Mr..
Curran does not act by that date.
Mr.. Laughlin said that he will avail
himself of his legal right to ask
District Court to bring the case in
his own name. He inclosed a sug-
gested draft of the form of action
and also sent a letter on the subject
to Attorney General Jackson.
Mr.. Laughlin contends that the
Bar Association does not perform
Government function and says that
the association denies the use OF its
library to those who are not mem
bers of its organization and also to
colored persons. Hence, he argues,
this is in direct violation of the
Constitution and is un-American.
Due to shortage of space in the
District Court building, Mr.. Laugh
lin said. three Of the jurists of that
tribunal are housed in the new
Police Court building, but If the
Bar Association library were ousted,
there would, he added, be sufficient
room to house all branches Of the
court in the one building.
The association has previously
weathered legal assaults upon its
occupancy of part of the District
Court building.

eering in unions, today disclosed its
part in national defense.

dress, said his organization favored
military training for young men be-
fore they become wage earners.
The A. F. L., by unanimous vote
yesterday, adopted the Resolutions
Committee report urging unions to
take measures to rid their ranks
of gangsterism and as a last resort
authorizing its supreme body, the
Executive Council. to ''use all Of It's
power" to get action.
What action could be taken by
the council, stripped this week of the
power to suspend any single union,
was not disclosed.
No Mention of Strikes.
A high A. F. L. official said the
Resolutions Committee report today
on labor's part in the defense pro-
gram made no mention of strikes,
but emphasized the desire of his
group to participate in fullest degree
in rearming America.
A member of the Resolutions COM
mittee said one of the remaining
major subjects to be considered by
the convention in its final sessions
was peace with the Congress for
Industrial Organization.
Asserting the Legion advocates
basic training for young men be-
fore they reach the responsibility of
adulthood, Mr.. Warner declared:
1--WE want their military training
as part of their educational train
ing, so that there shall be no dis
placement of the wage Garner, no
disruption of adult careers, no eco

ing men away from their work in

Difficult Evil.
The anti-racketeering measure
said in part:
There have been men Of i'll re-
pute who, in some instances, have
succeeded through stealth and
armed force in securing control of
existing local unions, or Of or
ganizing new ones, using the
power they have acquired for IL
legal purposes.
This is the most difficult evil
to eradicate. 1t calls for the ap-
