however, his two-year license ex-
pired. 1t was necessary for Mr..
!, Carter to apply for a renewal.
When he did, he started new
Eset of court proceedings which
turned out to be more compli-
Gated than the first.
;. On the basis of what was known
Ito District Court, Judge Alexander
Holtzof refused to renew Mr.. Car
tiers license. The District Court
recalled very wildly one passage
in the Court of Appeals opinion
|. by Judge Prettyman. The opinion
had said that the first Carter case
! did not concern the power of Dis
trict Court in renewing an auth
orization upon expiration of the
stated term"
Judge Prettyman Dissents.
Mr.. Carter again went to the
Court of Appeals. This time. the
court consisted of Judge Clark,
Judge Prettyman and Judge Hen
ry w. Edgerton.
Last January they again ruled
in favor of Mr.. Carter. But this
time the vote was split 2 to /.
} And this time, Judge Prettyman
; took the side of the District Court
judges, writing vigorous dis
! senting opinion.
: The majority opinion, written
by Judge Edgerton, said Mr.. Car
ter's application for a renewal of
the bonding license conformed to
all rules and regulations of Dis
Itrict Court. 1t continued:
"The record before that court
showed without dispute that the
appellant has the qualifications
, for a bondsman. Yet the District
Court denied his application on
the grounds that in the opinion
of the court he lacks the qualifica-
tions for a bondsman.' :.
5 "The District Court did not dis
close what qualifications it be-
lieved appellant lacked. Against
the background of the sealed en-
velope (FBI report) its present
i. action seems, as its former action
seemed, to imply a belief that ap-
5 pellant's character is not good
It did not disclose the source of
tits belief. It said appellants ap-
/ plication was in the administra-
tive discretion of the Court

From that premise it seems

case, also, the District Court lost

Ito review the matter.
This is the story:
In 1947, John w. Carter, col
ored, applied to District Court fol
a license to engage in bonding
terminal cases. Judge David A
Pine examined the application
papers, found them in order, ano
granted the license.
Arrested Several Times.
Subsequently Judge Pint
Learned that the bondSman hat
been arrested several times, man,
years before, on charges OF gam
bling and receiving stolen goods
When the bondsman applied TO,
the license. he had sworn that HI
never had been charged and/ol
convicted" of any offense involv'
ing moral turpitude.
Judge Pine issued rule foI
Carter to show cause why thu
license should not be revoked. A
hearing, the bondsman proved
that he had never been brough
to trial on the charges and henc'
never convicted. Judge Pine alb
solved the bondsman and hi
lawyers of any willful intent tt
misrepresent the fact but held
nevertheless, that the court hae
been misled by the phraseolog.
of the application.
Judge Pine thereupon decided
to make more extensive inquir.
into Mr.. Carter's record. He with
drew the bonding license and pu
Mr.. Carter's application back int
a pending" status. The cour
asked the police to investigate
Dissatisfied with what was beinl
done, Judge Pine called on tn
FBI for an inquiry. The FBI un
dertook the work in a purely loca
case with the understanding tina
Its report would be kept confiden
tial.
FBI Papers Impounded.
/ When the report was received
Judge Pine refused to grant MI
Carter a license and he impondet
the FBI papers.
Mr.. Carter carried his case t.
the Court of Appeals. In Decem
ber, 1947, that court ruled he wa
entitled to the license. The thre
appellate judges sitting in the cas-
agreed unanimously that DiStric
Court had no right to revoke tn
license, once it had been granted
Judge E. Barrett Prettymal
wrote the opinion of the appeal
court. He said Judge Pine erret
because:
THE application had beei
granted. Carter had an authori

Court was not to deny him some
thing he was seeking; it was t.

Important TO Local
Presidents OF H. B. A.

From time to time we have stres
sed the Importance of presidents not
sending cash money in an ordinary
letter. 1t has been a long, long time
since a president has taken a chance
and sent his money in this form.
In the December Board, one of our
local presidents reported to the Of
flee that she sent $3.50 in cash mon
ey in a special delivery letter to our
office, however, we have not as yet
receiced such a letter from this par
ticular president.
The echo., 1951-02-15

The following leaders and their
co-Workers have been appointed to
add Sc members each in the H. B.
A. Crusade which will terminate in
the Convention.
Some of the leaders have begun
sending in new members already,
however, we are not publishing the
number each leader has as this is a
friendly rivalry among the IL lead
ers.
The echo., 1951-02-15

Whenever you send money, please
sent it so you can have it traced
should it not reach its destination.
There isn't anything for you to work
on when you send a letter as above
mentioned.
Nobody has to sign for a special
delivery letter. Several years ago,
when special delivery letter ar
rived at our office somebody had to
sign the postman's record for said
letter, but it isn't so now.
It is a reflection on the office for
any president to send cash money to
the office. We can tell you that we
did not receive it, but you can think
whatever you wish about the matter,
therefore, for our protection. as well
as yours, We are kindly asking that
you do not send cash money in an
ordinary letter, even though it is a
special delivery.
Outlines we have letters to get
lost in transit, but if the remitter
has money order receipt or a pos
tai note receipt, we can have the
letters traced and get duplicates.
Don't take chances and don't get
in too big a hurry to send your mon
ey and send it in an ordinary letter.

members name twice or leaves off a

lent and secretary will take the sec
rotary record, which is suppose to
carry the membership roll, and copy
all the names on the report blank
as soon as you get your blank from
the office, you can go to the blank
and check up members names as
they pay. By all means, please let
your lodge record tally with the re-
port blank that you are sending or
bringing to the office and this will
save us a lot of trouble mailing your
report blanks back to you from time

DEATH CERTIFICATES

For some reason, some of our To-
cal Presidents are becoming a bit
negligent in reporting deceased
members of their local lodges. If, in
the event, lodge loses a member,
let it be locally or out of town, it is
the duty of that local President to
notify the Office that he or she has
a deceased member and it will take
tnore than the allotted days to get
the death certificate, etc, into the
office.
We had a letter from one of eur
local Presidents, a few days ago,
notifying the office that he had a
member to die in January, 1880
This is absolutely gross negligence
on the part of this local President.
Suppose all of the local Presidents
in the Association would do as this
President has done, it would not be
very long before we would have no
Association. Presidents, when you
get to the place where you do not
have time to attend to the business
of the local lodge, as it should be
attended to, I do think t h a t you
should notify the lodge in order that
they might do the next best thing.
