Justice Rut|edge
Honored at Dinner
Of Legal Fraternity
Stresses Need to Keep
Law Institutions Intact
For Postwar Benefit

Lawyers do not become useless in
time of war; they merely become
subordinated, Justice Wiley B. Rut-
ledge of the Supreme Court told
members of the Phi Alpha Delta
legal fraternity last night at a din
ner in his honor in the Hotel Statler.
Lawyers, he said, "are ready to
make any sacrifice to win the war
so that we may have law after it
ends. But to promote the essential
policy of the Nation, we must keep
legal institutions as intact as is COM
patible with the military necessity"
The liberality and legal scholar
ship of the new justice were extolled
by several speakers from the bench
and the bar. Justice Thurman Ar
mold, former head of the Justice De-
partment's Antitrust Division, who
was appointed to fill Justice Rut-
ledge's place on the Court of Ap-
peals for the District of Columbia.
drew laugh when he noted that
a columnist had said that If he,
Mr.. Arnold, left his job to go on the
bench, "the country would lose a
good trust-buster to have another
middling judge Justice Arnold
protested, But intend to be a good
judge, and God knows they're
scarce"
Justice Jesse C. Adkins Of the
District Court expressed hope that
Thurman Arnold's good intentions
won't be used as paving blocks"
Among the judges who spoke were
Supreme Court Justice William
Douglas and Justice Rutledge's for
mer associates on the Appeals Court,
Justices Fred M. Vinson, Henry w.
Edgerton and Justin Miller.
Justice Herbert F.. Goodrich of
Philadelphia, a member of the Court
OF Appeals for the Sd district, who
was on the faculty of Iowa Univer-
slty Law School with Justice Rut-
ledge also spoke. Guests included:

Peace Selling
BY VICTOR EUBANK,

NEW YORK, Nov 4.-Another
peace-selling wave hit the stock
market today, after an early recov-
cry attempt faile dto draw much of
a following. and leading industrials
and rails dipped fractions to around
2 points.
At the start the list acted bit
better as opinions were voiced that
short-war psychology may have been
overdone in the relapse of the pre-
ceding session. Calling off of the
coal strike also was mildly bene-
flclal, although the labor situation
still was viewed as rather murky.
Dealings were slack on the morn
ing revival. The break in prices
after midday on relatively large
volume conceded with the state
ment made to d Senate Subcom
mittee by former President Hoover
that at the present moment we're
certainly in the latter stages of the
'European) war probably "the
last winter Of fighting in Europe.
While activity tapered toward the
last, turnover for the full proceed
ingS exceeded 100000 shares for
the second time since September
20, Near the close extreme losses
were reduced hr and there.

venereaI Tests
For Nations Urged
Nv the Associated press

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, Nov.' 30.-Sir
James Purves-Stewart, the English
neurologist, advocated in an inter-
view here yesterday the, compulsory
examination Of entire populations
for evidence Of venereal diseases.
England, like America, he said,
has had tremendous increase in
these diseases since the war began"
but If every man, woman and child
in the country were given compul-
sorry physical examinations, followed
by compulsory treatment for all
found infected, the diseases would
almost cease to exist.
The neurologist was widely quoted
when he declared during the early
days of the war that many of the
captured German dive bomber pilots
had rouged cheeks, painted lips,
artificially waved hair and enameled
fingers and toenails.
This type Of degeneracy, Sir
ooAAASo ooAO Ioddy, ID OlLcIl COIlSSCenl
with great physical courage. Actu-
ally similar practices were encour-
aged as an aid to valor by the
Greeks in the periods of Socrates
and Alexander, he pointed out.
He predicted that the children
who have lived their first years in
an atmosphere Of blackouts, closed
windows and German bombing of
their homes, cannot help but be-
come new type of man and woman.
He visioned them as a different
breed from the present adult gen.
Grafton.
General health throughout Eng
land has gone up, he declared, and
alcoholism is diminishing, not so
much because Of the high prices of
spirits, but because of a campaign
OF education which has taught the
British of all classes that getting
drunk is bad manner"

Assailing the administrations pro-

servicemen as an insult" Repre-
sentative Lemke, Republican, of
North Dakota has introduced legis-
lation giving veterans their regular
service pay for as long as II months
after their discharge from the
armed forces.
The administration proposal by
Chairman May of the House Mill

maximum mustering-o out pay of $500
for veterans with six months or more
service.
After shedding tears over the
veterans, the administration labored
and brought forth a mouse" Mr..
Lemke said yesterday in a statement.
His bill also provides for issuance
of paid-up insurance to servicemen,
the amount being based on the
length of service and ranging up to
$500 for each month of foreign duty.
Veterans would be permitted to
borrow up to the full amount of the
insurance by paying interest of IL
per cent annually.
Discharge pay generally would be
at the rate of one month of COM
per1sation for each month of service
up to IL months.

|W[B Ruling Asked
On Bonus for Drivers
To Collect Cardboard

In order to facilitate the collec-
ton of used cardboard and CORFU
gated paper cartons, of which there
is big shortage, the National Retail
Dry Goods Association today asked
the War Labor Board for a blanket
ruling approving payment of a
bonus to delivery men and drivers
for collecting such cartons after
making Christmas deliveries.
Irving c. Fox, general counsel for
the association, said the action was
taken to forestall any necessity for
each merchant to apply to WLB
regional board for permission to pay
the extra money to drivers.
1t was reported enormously in The
Star yesterday that WLB had de-
cided such extra compensation to
drivers would be considered a raise
in pay, which would have to be
passed on in the case of each mer-
chant.
