Senate Unit Approves
Heberf Firearms Bill,
Juvenile Court Shifts
Own Measures Are Loid
Aside, House Documents
Used to. Speed Action
BY Don S. Worren

The Senate District Committee
today approved and sent to the
Senate for action two House
approved bills dealing with crime
enforcement here.
They are the Hebert bill to permit
arrest and search of persons police
have reason to believe are unlaw-
fully carrying concealed weapons,
and a bill amending the Juvenile
Court Act.
To hasten action, the committee
adopted suggestion by Chairman
Buck to lay aside the Senate bills on
these subjects and to act on the
identical bills passed by the House
BY this means, the bills will 60 di.
rect to the White House for sigma.
lures after passage by the Senate
assuming no change is made there
Third Bill Approved.
In addition, the Senate commit.
tee reported favorably the House
bill directing the removal OF the
stone piers In West Executive ave-
nue near the White House, which
had been called traffic safety haz-
ards.
In one other action, the commit.
tee reported favorably a bill BY
Senator Buck, to permit banks anc
trust companies to merge trust
accounts into common funds for the
purpose Of investment. Two amend
ments were made in the measure al
the request Of the Federal Reserve
Board.
A number of States have such
common trust fund laws. The pur-
pose, as explained by Senator Buck
is to permit better investment pos
sibilities for small trust funds which
could be invested more profitably
by being combined for investment
with the receipts to be later divided
pro rata among the separate
accounts.
Act Is Amended.
The amendment to the Juvenile
Court Act authorizes Juvenile Court
to send to District Court a case
involving a child accused of an
offense which, If committed by an
adult, would be punishable by death
or life Imprisonment. This waiver
of jurisdiction would be discretion
ary with the Juvenile Court, but not
mandatory.
In the case of the concealed
weapons and Juvenile Court bills
the Senate committee ignored any
question of partisan politics, the
Republican majority on the group
making no point that the House
bills originally were sponsored by q
Democrat, Representative Hebert, Of
Louisiana.
Recently, minor fuss on such 9
point was raised on the House side
and there, also, the issue was re.
solved in favor of requested legis.
lation instead of politics.
This gives special point to the
fact that the Senate committee
reported favorably the House bills
instead Of asking the Senate to pass
a Senate bill which would have tc
go through the legislative machinery
on the House side.

Heinrich Heine is therefore moi

that of the Jews include a prayer

Hebrew prayer book contains one

this subject that 1 know. / refer
to the prayer recited on ROsh
HashOnah, "Uvchen tayn Pach-

It is a very old prayer, and yet
how modern it is. Not only does
it ask that arbitrary, evil gov

continues to pray for the estab-

you have forgotten the prayer, let

memory: "And may thy dread be
on all the creatures thou hast
fashioned so that they shall form

1t is a prayer for peace and a
prayer for liberty and indeed the
two ideas are twins. Where there
is no liberty there cap be no peace.
There must be liberty for all too,
or the liberty is no liberty. Lib

electricity either. Freedom, like
electricity, has physical basis.
In the opinion of the present
writer, freedom is grounded in a
free earth. It is significant that
the commandment proclaim lib
erty to all the land" is mentioned
in connection with the institution
of the Jubilee, when the soil was
reapportioned to the people.
AS soon as some of the people
were deprived of their portion Of
land, they became mendicants,
beggars.. They were forced to
sell their labor cheap or starve.
With this land monopoly began the
unemployment, the exploitation of
labor, high rents, share troopers
and fascism.> The "Single Takers"
used to say "you can't hold a man
up in the air and say he is Free"
i think this idea TALES with the
idea of the Bible. Freedom in it's
fullest developments demands a
free earth.

in hamlets that cannot be located
