City Court Is Denied
Power 10 Vacate Own
Ruling After Term Ends
Appeals Bench Reverses
And Remunds Cuse
Involving Reeeivership

The United States Court of Ap-
peals decided today that Municipal
Court was without power to vacate
its own Judgment after expiration
of any term in which judgment
was entered.
The appellate tribunal reversed
and remanded to Municipal Court
case in which John H. Verkou-
teren, Clifford r. Ricketts, and Nor
ris B. Hariton, trading as the John
H. Verk1uteren Co., had sued James
T. Edwards, co-partner in a Mary
land restaurant enterprise, for ac-
counting services in the sum OF
nearly s700.
Receivers were appointed in
Maryland to take over the partner
ship property and they sold some
of 1t. Creditors came in and pre-
sented their claims, but only a per-
centage of the money involved In
the bills was left available for pay
ment. The Verktouteren firm filed
its claim with others and it was
ratified in the receivers account in
the Prince Georges County Court.
In Municipal Court here Attorney
Milton Kaplan, representing the ac-
countants, argued that the Mary
land court approval Of the receivers
account was tantamount to a ju-
dicial adjudication.
The complaint in Municipal Court
was based on the Maryland court
judgment, but the defendant, Mr..
Edwards, interposed in his answer
two defenses-that the Maryland
judgment was invalid and that the
matter was already adjudicated.
Municipal Court, as a trial court
sitting without a jury, decided each
issue adversely to Mr.. Edwards and
judgment was entered for the Ver-
kouteren firm.
In the succeeding term Of Mu-
nicipal Court Mr.. Edwards filed a
motion to vacate judgment on the
same ground as before The Ver-
kouteren firm challenged$he power
of the court to vacate a judgment
after expiration of the term in which
1t was entered. But Municipal Court
did vacate its Judgment and the
Verkouteren firm noted an appeal.
The reversal came today The case
was heard in the United States
Court of Appeals by Chief Justice
D. Lawrence Groner and Associates
Justin Miller and Fred NJ. Vinson.

Ayres 10 Enter Army
On Promise Of Duty
In Medical Corps
Actor Opposed to War
Declares He Hos Not
Changed His Views
Nv the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
HOOD RIVER, Oreg., May 18.-
Lew Ayres, the hating Holly
wood film actor who sacrificed
his career, at least temporarily,
for his principles, came out of a
conscientious objectors' camp to-
day to be indicted into the
Army.
The actor, who rose to promi-
nence as a war-embittered soldier in
All Quiet on the Western Front" +"
said his hatred OF arms-bearing was
unchanged.
He was entering the Army, he
said, because he had been assured
he would be assigned to medical
duty, for which he has taken train
ing in civilian courses.
Ayres rose early at Camp Wyeth.
20 miles west of here, where he had
been confined for two months, and
joined a group Of draftees here
They were to leave for the Portland
(Oreg) induction center, and even
tually for 13 weeks Of training at
some Army cantonment.
Thus ended two months of effort
by Ayres to be reassigned, a period
which he spent with some 100 other
war objectors in forest service work,
clearing trails, chopping down trees,
and occasionally fighting brush fires.
Ayres may be assigned to medi-
cal unit at once, but Harold Hersch-
ner, Hood River Draft Board chair
man, said he believed the actor first
would have to go through the 13-
week training period.
Whether Ayres was able to enter
the Army because his California
draft board changed his classifica-
ton was not known.

Planning by Square Mile
The board pointed out that ac-
cording to the 1910 housing census
100000 urban houses were in need
of major repairs. The war has
caused housing dislocation, 1t said,
and prevented much repair work
from going on.
After the war, it said, city plan
ming should be done "by the square
mile, not by the square block" and
on a sound economic basis.
There should be research and ex-

The report acknowledged that

To Formulate Plans

Of Military Production
Has Been Licked
By tie Associated Press.

BY TIE Associated Press.
Chairman Truman, saying that
production has reached
a point where 1t no longer need
be regarded as the No. / problem,
said today he planned to call to-
gether the Senate Defense In
vestigating Committee to formu-
late new policy designed to pro-
duce constructive suggestions
toward winning the war.
I'VE are getting the planes, tanks
and other equipment in unprece-
dented volume" he ceeclared. There
are still some kinks in the ma
chinery, and I think there are still
some people In the war production
setup who are not working entirely
unselflshly for the public interest,
but the major part of that problem
has been licked" The committee
has been especially critical of the
activities Of some dollar-a-year men.
Transportation Is Chief Problem.
1--WE have stuck a lot Of pins in
PSOPAO al VIC |ooI, oClAdOl 44O-
man told reporters, "and we will
continue to stick pins where that
is needed. But I think the COM
mittee can make some positive con-
tributions to the war effort by chan
neling its investigations toward the
goal"
The Missourian said he regarded
transportation as the chief problem
to be dealt with Immediately, citing
recent official statements that war
goods are piling up some ports
and even backing up at factories
because shipping is lacking and
interior transportations Is overtaXed.
Rubber Shortage Blamed.
Domestic transportation dificul-
ties can be traced primarily TO the
rubber shortage he said. adding that
he had little hope for any speedy
alienation of that lack. The Nation
cannot expect to get substantial
quantities Of synthetic rubber much
before the middle Of 1914, he pre-
dicted.
The White House reported last
week that cargo ship construction
was on schedule, with 12o vessels
delivered in the first l3o days OF
