arrest is made. Each judge, he
said, would hear cases arising in

Mr.. Prettyman added that the
plan would make it possible for as
slstant corporation counsels to de-
vote more time to serious cases,
since they would not be required
to attend hearings before subsidiary
courts. which would be informal in
nature.
He suggested that young lawyers
could be appointed to the bench at
the subsidiary courts, who could
maintain their private practice at
the same time and would expect
small compensation as a result.

4 4Subsidiary Courts
To Handle Minor
Traffic Cases Urqed
Prettymon Says Plan
Would Speed Disposition
And Relieve Docket

E. Barrett Prettyman, speaking
before the weekly luncheon meeting
Of the Cosmopolitan Club at the
Carlton Hotel yesterday, called for
the setting up of four subsidiary
traffic courts to handle minor cases
now crowding the docket of District
Police Court.
Expedition and certainty in traf-
f1c case handling has a direct
effect upon the public. You have
to make it certain and you have to
make it quick" said Mr.. Pretty
man, president of the District Bar
Association and former corporation
counsel.
$1,000 Minor Cases.
He pointed out that more than
SIS 900 cases came before the Police
Court last year, of which $1,000
were minor cases. Minor cases, he
said, include those arising from
charges of illegal parking, improper
lights, operating without a permit
and flrst-offense speeding.
Because the present situation
means that a policeman making an
arrest must spend from four TO six
hours in court. often on his day
off, the tendency Of the policeman
is not to make the arrest, Mr.. Pret-
lyman said. For the same reason,
he added, potential witnesses are
sometimes inclined not to see any,
thing.
On the other hand, Mr.. Pretty
man observed, the defendant is
tempted to delay the case as long
as possible in the hope that bott
policemen and witnesses will become
disguised and give up the fight, with
the result that the Police Court
docket is badly overcrowded.

culties would be overcome under

LONDON, Sept. 12.-They placed

of st. Clement Danes, beside those
of her husband today beneath the

According to evidence presented
at an inquest, the widow, rs, threw
herself from the window of chill

dying, like her husband, with a bro

German answer to months of hostile
subterranean activity.
When the Germans occupied Nor
way the problem of regulating the
unions was left to Vidkun Quisling.
For more than a year Quisling did
not change the setup of the unions,
which operated normally, the in
formants said.
The unions were described as
Social Democratic, but with Leftist
and Communistic elements. A few
months ago, it was said, Quisling
undertook a few changes in the
union administrations when signs
of trouble developed.
There was lively underground
activity such as distribution of
pamphlets and listening to and
spreading the contents of the Lon
don news broadcasts.
Unions Held Secret Meetings.
The unions were said to have held
secret meetings. After Russia was
attacked by Germany the situation
was said to have become acute,
especially among Leftist elements.
Strikes were threatened, and in
the iron and shipbuilding industries
of Oslo actually were called. 1t was
then that the Germans decided to
hit hard and choke off chances of
the movement spreading, the in
formants said.
Because of this, two labor leaders
were executed and others summarily
removed.
