ParIance Of Soliciting
Ruled on in New Case

The parlance Of prostitution came
up as an issue in Municipal Court
yesterday for the second time in a
month.
The new case, before Judge George
D.. Nelson, ended in a conviction
on soliciting charge The earlier
case, before Judge Almond w. Scott
on December IL, was dismissed.
In both instances, the legal argu-
ment centered on the meaning of
the term sport as used by suspects
in accosting plainclothes officers of
the Vice Squad. Judge Scott held
the word could mean anything from
dice-rolling to baseball.
Judge Nelson, however, announced
yesterday that it is of primary i'm
portance'' that the facts and cir
cumstances must be considered in
each soliciting case regardless of the
specific terms employed"
As result. Ethel V. Cole, 38,
colored, of the first block of S street
NV, was found guilty. The max
imum sentence of 80 days plus a
500 fine or another 80 days was
imposed because of five previous
convictions on the same charge here.

Judiciary Committee and other
members of Congress, who feel that
Washington residents should have
full rights and privileges in court
cases.
Mr.. Gwynne, returning today for
the opening of Congress. declared
some way should be found Ito pre-
serve the rights of residents of
Washington to sue and be sued in
all Federal courts"
NIichener Supports Act.
Mr.. Gwynne explained that the
1887 act would allow the attorney
general to intervene in cases be-
tween private parties where the
constitutionality of law is at stake.
Representative Michener made
known his views on the law today,
saying he considers the Gwynne Act
equitable in principle.
In his opinion, the Michigan Re-
publican said, Congress had the
power to enact legislation giving
people here equal rights in Federal
courts.
But if the Supreme Court decides
the 1910 act is unconstitutional, Mr..
Michener said he will favor a Con-
stitutional amendment to restore
equality before the courts to Wash
ingtonians. 1t would take about two
years, however, he pointed out, to get
a Constitutional amendment rati-
fled by the required number of

pm. tomorrow at the Veterans Serv-
ice Center, l400 Pennsylvania avenue
NV, to decide whether to ask the
House Veterans Affairs COMMITTEES
to investigate the contract dispute

The meeting was called by spe-
cial student committee to protest an
arrangement allowing 400 day stu
dents to continue classes, while cut
ting off education for about 800
part-time night students.
Emrys Jones, a committee member
who lives at 1908 Belmont road NV,
said day students also will be asked
to vote on whether they want to
remain in classes in view of the ban
on GI night classes.
He said he has received express
sions from some day students indi-
eating they are not willing to con-
tinue classes unless further negotia-
tions allow the night students to
finish courses under the GI bill.
The former servicemen were
caught in the middle of a dispute
when Columbia refused to submit
statement of operating costs which
VA maintained was necessary to de-
termine tuition rates before a new
contract could be isued.
Under the present arrangement,
VA has agreed to pay tuition for
the full-time day students only

term next June. 1t said it could not
allow tuition payment for night
classes without the statement be-
cause the night rates exceed those

Denies Entry Without Knocking.
The policeman, under cross-exam-

Krouse, denied entering the apart
ment without knocking, denied that
he had hit Stathis when he first
announced his intention of arrest
ing him and denied that Stathis had
mentioned illegal entry.
The Davis girl, who generally cor
roborated Stathis' story, said the
policeman walked in without knock
ing. She said she had heard no
profanity and that Stathis had
agreed to go to the precinct station
but wanted to get his coat. AS he
turned to get his coat, she said, the
policeman grabbed him. When
Stathis pulled away, she added, Pvt.
Jones welded his nightstick.

that the charge was petty larceny.
Question of Prosperity Cited.
Judge Casey, in dismissing the
case, said he could not conceive of
a simpler mission than Jones was

propriety of the policemans entry
