on the fact that Of the present four
justices on the appeals bench, only
two others were members OF the
District Court bar before sitting on
the appellate bench.
They are Associate Justices Harold
M. Stephens, who was admitted to
the District Court bar on April IT,
1884. and Justin Miller, who was
admitted on June %, 1887, according
to court records.
AS long as the jurists remain on
the Court of Appeals, however. they
cannot engage In private practice,
court officials pointed out.
The other present members OF
the Court of Appeals, who, records
show, are not members OF the Dis
trict Court bar and therefore could
not practice there without special
arrangement, If they should resign
are Chief Justice d. Lawrence

to permit him to secure counsel.
after he claimed letter he wrote
for this purpose had been delayed

Skizechowski already has pleaded
not guilty to an indictment charg-
ing violation of a special bank act
covering robbery or theft of funds
from a member bank of the Fed
eral Reserve System. Yesterday he
appeared before Justice James w,
Morris in District Court to plead
to a second indictment charging
robbery. This arraignment has
been postponed once to allow him
to secure counsel. Justice Morris
asked Skizechowski where his law
yer was this time.
Il still haven't got any" he re-
piled. II wrote a letter to my
brother about it, but guess it must
have been delayed"
The way your cases keep coming
up, you should do something about

gested.

war in the Pacific involving Japan
and the United States.
Japan opened hostilities against
China just four days after Gen.
Chennault's arrival and he found
himself working with planes which
were outmoded and training mex
perienced Chinese youths.
The plan whereby American civil
ian aviation personnel were invited
by the Chinese government to be-
come part of China,s Air Force
was the keystone of Gen. Chen
nault's program to revitalize the
Chinese Air Force.
Led American Volunteers.
Thus, when the first American
volunteer group was formed, in July,
1941, Gen. Chennault was the in
evitable leader.
A Chinese official once said that
"Chennault has endeared himself to
China more than any other for
eigner since Marco Polo, 500 years
ago"
Gen. Chennault was made brig
adler general by Chang Kai-shek
in 1941. In April, 1912, he was re-
called to active duty in the United
States Army and given the temper
airy rank of colonel with permis-
sion to continue his activities and
relationship with the Chinese gov
eminent. Five days later, on April
%, 1912, he was promoted to brig
adler general temporary.
Gen. Chennault's Flying Tigers
made colorful history in China and
Burma.
Fighting with Chennault- devised
tactics, the Tigers on numerous &C.
casions attacked vastly superior
forces of enemy planes, shot down
several and fed before the japanese
had recovered from the surprise.
Gen. Chennault is known as one
of the greatest of precision flyers.
Airmen remember his feats as leader
of three men on a flying trapeze"
which was a feature of many air
shows during the early 1905. Their
fayorite trick was to tie their planes
together with string, take of, 60
through intricate maneuvers and
land without having broken string.

was antiaircraft fire.

Gauss had written the Swiss Le-
CATION in Washington, acting as
intermediary to the German gov
eminent, stressing the fact that he
was ready to assume, in Germany,
responsibility for the murder which
he stated was committed by Straub
in his presence. He argued, how
ever, that he was innocent of any

authorities were concerned.

Two Court Of Appeals Judges
Lack D. c.. Bor Memberships

records show they are not members
of that bar, prerequisite to prac-
tice there and, therefore, would have
to be admitted first.
However, Associate Justice Ste
phens, should he resign, and former
Associate Justice Arnold could prac-
tice before the Court Of Appeals be-
cause they are members of the ap-
pellate bar AS in the District Court,
the rule that justices now on the
bench cannot practice also applies
to the Appeals Court.
Mr.. Arnold, who resigned his
associate justiceship on the Court
Of Appeals on July 10 to enter
private practice, was admitted to
practice before the District Court
bar by seven justices of that court,
sitting in a general term session.
Court officials explained that any
Court of Appeals justices, who were
not members of the District Court
bar, could practice in the lower
court, If they should resign, only
II they were brought in" by an
attorney, or If in association with
one in case, or If admitted to the
District Court bar. They could not
practice alone without membership
privileges, however.
No member of the local Court of
Appeals Is from the District.
