At the same time, the daily war

blocked in efforts to force a way
across the Dabus River in Western
Ethiopia.
The DabuS runs roughly parallel
to the Sudanese frontier about so

column referred to apparently is
attempting to strike due east toward
the Ethiopian capital at Adds
Ababa.
The Italians said their planes had
taken leading part in the fighting
around Cheren, bombing British bat
teries and troops.
On the North African front, the
high command said, the British re-
newed their attacks on the oasis of
Giarabub in Southeast Libya with
artillery support, but were re
pulsed everywhere" -
The Italians declared their planes
had bombed the British held Libyan
port of Bengasi and said their anti
aircraft batteries had downed a

0'Mahoney Not Opposed
To Air Contracts

A headline over a story in The
Star yesterday covering an address
by Senator OMahoney, Democrat,
of Wyoming before the American
Association of University Women,
stated incorrectly that the legislator
is Opposed to Air Contracts
Senator OMahoney always has
favored this Nations air develop
ment and the headline was incorrect.
The headline-writer misinter.
preted a portion of the story pointing
out that the Senate Appropriations
Committee now is considering the
opposition of the Pan-American Air
Transport Co. to authorization of
funds for establishment of compet-
ing air service across the Atlantic.
Senator OMahoney called attention
to the fact that Pan-American
has exclusive landing rights in
Portugal, and then cited a paragraph
in the Constitution providing that
no State shall enter into any con-
tract with any other State or with

Judge Cayton Raps
Practice Of Seizinq
Pay for Debts
Permits Two Defendants
To Poy Small Bills on
InstuIIment Plan

The practice of seizing salaries of
non-District residents for debts
through writs of attachment, before
judgment has been obtained, as per-
mitted by District statute, was con-
demned yesterday by Judge Nathan
Cayton in Municipal Court.
He criticized the practice in a rul-
ing in connection with judgments in
which he gave two defendants the
right to pay on the installment plan
sums of money owed local clothing
firm.
Through the attachments, pay of
the defendants, both Maryland
residents, had been tied up, but
Judge Cayton ordered the funds
released.
The jurist allowed the defendants
to pay the debts at rates of So per
week.
Raps Extreme Methods"
There seems to be a growing
practice to resort to extreme means
of seizing salaries before judgment" "
Judge Cayton said. It believe this
practice should be discouraged. 1t
tends to terrorize wage earners by
taking their salaries just at payday
time and leaving them helpless until
such time as they can go to the
clerk of the court and have the
matter set down for hearing. Such
use of the attachment procedure
-" amounts to distortion of the
reasonable and proper use of the
facilities of the Small Claims Court.
Wage earners should not have to
live in constant fear of having their
pay envelopes seized without warn
ing. Their jobs should not be put
in jeopardy by vexing methods Of
this sort. They should be assured
that the court will find way to pro-
tect them from oblique assaults Of
this kind"
Small Claims Act Later.
'It also is to be borne in mind
that the Small Claims Act was en-
acted many years after the at
tachment statute. 1t seems to me
that when plaintiff invokes the
older law and resorts to the peremp-
tory attachment before Judgment,
seizing the defendants salary be-
fore he has had an opportunity
for hearing, it should not oper-
ate to deprive the defendant Of his
opportunity for hearing-it should
not operate to deprive him of his
opportunity to pay the judgment in
installments. To approve such a
proceeding would be to defeat one
of the main purposes of the small
claims law. The installment fea-
ture Of the law is mandatory and
accrues to the defendant as a mat
ter of right and not of grace" said
the jurist.
Judge Cayton also refused to COM
pei the defendants to pay some $3.50
IN costs as provided under the old
law and set the fees instead at $1.30
each.
