ABA Group Indorses
Plan 10 Use Auxiliary
Court in Each Nation

A suggestion that the proposed
world court have auxiliary or cir
cult courts to sit in various capitals
was ,indorsed yesterday by the
American Bar Association section
on international law at a joint ses-
sion with the Inter-American Bar
Association at the Pan American
Union.
The action, taken at an afternoon
business session, was further urged
by Green Hackworth, State Depart
ment legal adviser, when he ad-
dressed night session last night.
"It may well be-" said Mr.. Hack
worth, "that the court envisioned by
the Dumbarton Oaks proposals
should have an auxiliary branch or
branches to pass upon certain
classes of cases, or cases which
parties to dispute are prepared
to submit to such a chamber or
court.
Closer to People.
Such an auxiliary court could
hold its sessions at places other than
the seat of the principal court, as
might be desired by the parties or
as might in the judgment of the
court best promote the administra-
ton of justice.
There is much to be said for
bringing the court closer to the peo-
pie and closer to the locale of the
dispute"
The resolution Is to be submitted
to the American Bar Association
House of Delegates at Dallas, Tex.
March S and 6. 1t was presented by
James Oliver Murdoch of this city,
chairman of the Committee on
Pacific Settlement of International
Disputes, and approved by Thomas
K. Finletter of the Committee on
Constitutional Principles for a
World Order.
Plan Called Fantastic.
Objection to the circuit court idea
was raised from the floor at the
business session by George A.
Finch, executive secretary of the
Carnegie Endowment for Interna-
tional Peace.
He said 1t would be fantastic"
from realistic point of view for the
international court to set up
branch, for instance in Moscow, at
the present time. He said the plan
probably would provoke worldwide
opposition" at a time when all
efforts were being bent towards
creating a strong international Or
ganization to preserve the peace.
Other speakers included Senator
Ball, Republican, of Minnesota;
Ambassador Marcial Mora of Chile;
Durward V. Sandifer, State Depart
ment; Mitchell B. Carroll, head of

Plan 10 Draft Nurses

The nursing profession will not
oppose President Roosevelt's ur-
gent recommendation to Congress
that the draft be extended to IL
members, in the opinion Of Miss
Edith Beattie, executive secretary
OF the Graduate Nurses Association
OF the District of Columbia.
Miss Beattie said last night that
the Presidents request that the
Selective Service Act be amended
to induct nurses into the armed
FORCES came as surprise to the
profession, although there had been
some discussion Of including 4 draft
OF nurses In the National Service
Act changes recommended by the
President year ago.

opposition to it from the nurses !"
Miss Beattie said. "And 1 think
the Presidents recommendation will
bring home the need for nurses.
There will be more volunteering Of
nurses into the Army and the NAVY
now"
One way in which the civilian
nurse shortage could be relieved

Lack Of Funds 10 Use
Walled Lorion Blocks
lis Cited in Escape

The recent escape Of three youths
from Lorton Reformatory would
have been less likely II the men had
been held In the walled buildings-
which are only about one-third &C.
cupied because Of the lack Of funds
than In dormitories, How
ard B. Gill, general superintendent
Of penal institutions, said last night.
Mr.. Gill estimated $4,000 was
needed to operate the six-cell group
Of 100000 buildings to their full
capacity Of approximately 800. They
now house about 100, more than dou-
bic the number they did when he
took office last year.
The fund is needed, he explained,
to set up q central service building,
with facilities for sick care, admin
istration ofices, recreation rooms,
visiting rooms and space for re-
ligious services. Although a kitch-
en- is In existence, its equipment
has been used for other institutions.
Dining Room Not Used.
Mr.. Gill added that dining room
had been built but that it had been
used for a store house. 1t has been
cleared out now and Mr.. Gill hopes
to use 1t for dining room If funds
become available, he said.
Mr.. Gill said that three buildings
were completed and occupied by the
100 prisoners. Asked how they were
fed, Mr.. Gill replied that q truck
took food to the men and that food
on pans were showed "at them like
animals"
Mr.. Gill said these buildings, which
he believed were started 10 years
ago. were surrounded by a half-mile
OF wall. He expressed the view that
an escape from this part of Lorton
would have been almost impossible.
Says Public Safety" Involved.
At present, the superintendent
explained, the walled buildings are
used for certain disciplinary cases
and new prisoners until their back
ground and case have been studied.
In appropriation hearings last year
IN the House, 1t was said that "the
reformatory has a small section
walled, but the major population is
housed without walls"
Mr.. Gill criticized the SLOW and
unfortunate economy" of the con-
struction program and declared
that public safety" was involved.
He urged appropriation of the $780,
900 required for the service build
ing and added that about 10 per
cent Of the LOO outside the walled
buildings should be transferred %
them.
Buildings at Occoquan workhouse
also came in for criticism from
Mr., Gill. He claimed wooden build
ings were still being used In which
suf1ragettes were housed in 1918 and
which now are not fit for chickens.
The men escaped Saturday night,
December 80, during a heavy fog,
and fled in stolen car.
