Public Defender Bill
Again Is Presented
By Senator Capper
Konsun Also Introduces
Similar Measure
Covering All Districts

Senator Capper of Kansas today
reintroduced his bill providing for
appointment of public defender
for the District OF Columbia.
He also introduced a bill authoriz-
ing public defenders for all Federal
Districts Courts, emphasizing that
"the system of assigned counsel
should give way to the more en-
lightened system of public defense
to those who are unable properly to
defend themselves.
The public defender, under provi-
sions of the bill, would be commits
stoned for a term of four years and
devote himself exclusively to the
duties Of the office" He would re-
ceive salary fixed by the Attorney
General, not in excess of $1,000 a
year. Assistants would be appointed
by the Attorney General In such
number as may be required for
prompt dispatch of the business of
the public defender. These assist
ants would be compensated at
rate fixed by the Attorney General,
but not in excess of $4,000 year.
Would Act for INDECENT.
The public defender would act on
assignment by the court or upon
request of a defendant, without fee,
for any INDECENT person suspected
of having committed any offense
punishable by death or imprison-
ment, or for term of more than
80 days, or by a fine of more than
$500.
The United States marshal would
be called upon to serve without
charge all processes on request of
the public defender.
Under the Capper bill, the public
defender, with the approval of the
Attorney General. could employ nee
essary investigators and assistants
at salaries fixed by the Attorney
General.
A prerequisite to appointment
either as public defender or assist
ant would be that the appointee
for at least five years Immediately
preceding had been engaged in the
active practice of law before the
District Court of the United States
for the District of Columbia. The
public defender and his assistants
would have free access to prisoners
at the District Jail or at any other
place of incarceration.
Attorney General Controls Office.
The Attorney General would be
authorized to exercise general direc-
ton over the public defender re-
garding the manner of discharging
his duties. The public defender
would be required to report to the
Attorney General an account of his
official proceedings and Of the con-
dition of his office as the Attorney
General may direct.
Striking instances of miscarriage
of justice constantly are brought to
public attention" Senator Capper
said as he introduced the bill.
Newspaper reports frequently re-
fer to cases of innocent men who
have been wrongfully convicted be-
cause of their inability to make a
proper defense or to produce ade-
quate proof in their favor at the
trial. The criminal law must be so
amended that poor and helpless de-
PENDANTS shall be accorded the same
adequate defense as is given to the
wealthy malefactor, No one should
be compelled to suffer because of his
race, creed or purse"

Movement 10 Free
Hungary Launched Here

A national movement for the
preservation of ar independent
Hungary" was under way here today
following a day-long session Of
prominent Americana and nat
uralized Hungarians yesterday in
the National Press Club.
More than 100 Hungarian Ian
guage newspaper editors, educators,
churchmen and lawyers pledged
their unanimous support to the
movement as our sacred duty to
preserve an independent Hungary.
Spokesman for the delegation,
called together by the American
Hungarian Federation and the Hun
garian Press Association, pointed
out the movement would pave the
way for creation of a representative
government OF free Hungary" in
the event that country falls under
the complete domination Of the axis
powers.
The Hungarian government signed
a pact with Germany last Novem-
ber 20, bringing 1t closer to the
axis, and since that time its people
are no longer able to express their
will, DIR. Thor Kerekes, Georgetown
University professor and secretary
of the federation, declared.
This country, however, recognizes
the present regime and remains on
friendly terms with that govern
ment, the State Departments points
out.
The federation has outlined its
program to both the President and
the State Department, DR.. Kerekes
said.
Senator Burton, Republican, OF
Ohio, luncheon guest of the group
yesterday, said it was his feeling
that the movement had the SYM
pathy of this Government. Repre-
sentative Kirwan, Democrat, OF
Ohio also was a guest.
The delegation included repre-
sentatives of more than 20 Hun
garian language newspapers through
