Alcoholics HOSPITAL
Studied in Virginia
By the Associated Press

RICHMOND, June 20.-A self
supporting industrial and agricuI-
tural hospital system for the treat
ment of Virginia alcoholics may be
proposed to the next General As
sembly if reported suggestions pend
ing before the Virginia Advisory
Legislative Councils Committee on
Inebriety are approved.
Reports on the suggestions before
the committee indicate the system
would include regional clinics with
facilities for receiving and provid-
ing early treatment for alcoholics
who now are locked up in Jail or
sent to mental hospitals for a sober
ing up period, and establishment of
an industrial and agricultural hos
pital at which committed inebri-
ates may be given complete course
of treatment.
The suggested plan would call for
payment of prevailing wage rates
to patients who work while in the
custody of the institution. Part of
the proceeds from such work would
go to the committed patients de-
pendents and part for his mainte-
nance and treatment.
However, the main purpose of the
system would be therapeutic Psy-
chiatrists say that most victims of
alcoholism who are considered cur
able have been found capable, when
normal, of earning living, and gen.
orally ready to work while under
treatment.

Maryland Bar Hears
Judge Criticize Jury
Power 10 Pass on Law
BY the Associated Press

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., June 20.
Judge william L. Henderson of
the Maryland Court of Appeals last
night criticized the States system
of giving juries in criminal cases
the exclusive right to pass on the
law as well as the facts.
Judge Henderson, addressing the
SD annual convention of the Mary
land Bar Association, recommended
changes in the system which would
retain the constitutional provision
dealing with the jury power, but at
the same time expand the rights of
the accused.
He said Maryland was the only
State which maintains the proce-
dure.
Earlier, Frederick S. Bruno of Bal
timore was nominated without op-
position for the presidency of the
association. 4
Will Succeed Marbury.
MIR. Bruno is scheduled to sue
ceed Chief Judge ogle Marbury of
the Maryland Court of Appeals fol-
lowing elections tomorrow.
The associations Committee on
Grievances recommended that the
Court of Appeals impose revised
code of ethics on all Maryland at
torneys.
Pointing out that the associa-
tion's own code now is 25 years old
and in need of overhauling, the
committee suggested that the asso-
citation either revise its own canons
or induce the States highest tri-
bunal to set standards of its oWn.
The latter method, the committee
said, was preferable. The Court OF
Appeals now passes on admission of
lawyers and the acceptability of law
students.
Bouic, Sothoron Nominated.
Officers nominated by the associa-
ton included Albert M Bouic of
Rockville, sixth circuit vice presi-
dent, and L. Harold Sothoron of
Prince Georges County, seventh cir
cult vice president.
The opening session was informed

of the bar association, until year

nov has a record membership of 910.
Philip B. Perlman of Baltimore,
President Truman's nominee for So
iicitor General, deplored the 1947
General Assembly's failure to pro-
vide for constitutional amendment
to abolish Orphans Courts.
Provincial Rules Censured.
Earlier, provincial rules enforced
by the courts of five Marlany coun-
ties were criticized by special COM
mittee on local court rules.
The committee attacked the valid
ity of special rules now enforced by
the courts of Montgomery, Fred
erick, Anne Arundel, Howard, and
Carroll Counties.
In those counties, the committee
said, lawyers from other jurisdic-
tions are required to engage local
counsel to participate in litigation.
