Fechner's successor, 50-year-
old Mrs. Benjamin, has been a
fanatical Communist since 1928.
The Nazis murdered her hus-
band, a Jewish doctor. in a con-
centration camp. Though also
a Jew. she and their son escaped
their attentions.
She started practicing law
after the Soviet occupation and
was appointed to the zonal
justice department in 1947 as an
assistant to Fechner. Together
they set out to "democratize"
justice by suppressing all ere
actionaries."
Praised Soviet Justice.
When Fechner became Min
lister of Justice in 1949, she was
raised to the supreme court.
Returning from a trip to the
Soviet Union about that time,
she claimed Soviet justice was
decades ahead Of what we have
here"
Her career reached a fearsome
height in 1852 when for three
months she presided at a series
of SHOW trials" of alleged po-
litical and economic criminals.
She condemned two to the
guillotine, eight others to life i'm
prisonment and handed out sem
tences totaling 100 years to II
others accused. In Western
courts, their crimes at the most
would have been classed as mis-

Grotewohl at last nights cab
met meeting outlined at length
proposals for a conference of
East and West Germans to set
the stage for reunification and
a single peace treaty through
free alderman elections"
Spokesman for Chancellor Kon-
rad Adenauer's West German
government scornfully rejected
the idea today.
Adenauer Opposition Agrees.
For once, Adenauer's Socialist
opposition agreed.
There can be no question of
talking with representatives Of
that terror regime in East Ber-
lin," the Adenauer spokesman
said. "We said it before and we
say it again-they are nothing
but a bunch Of puppets who
never dared face a free election
and are kept in power only by
the guns and tanks Of the Rus
sian Army"
Mr.. Adenauer rejected a SINH
lar invitation from Grotewohl in
1851.
Grotewohl seemed to be de-
liberately courting West German
refusal instead of agreement.
The Eastern regime also threw
few more sops to the millions
of restive workers whose revolt
was suppressed by Russian ar
mored divisions last month.
The Reds promised to raise
wages for the four lowest-paid
classes of employees in state
owned industries, effective Au-

Action Was Too Slow.
Practice of this theory worked
out so slow that in 1906 Con-
gress sought to end such dwell
ings by converting alleys into
small streets. This didn't work
either. and II years later an
other law was passed, prohibit
ing use of alley dwellings as
homes after 1918. The courts
nullif1ed this law in 1923 and
it was not until 1884, when the
housing authority was created
to provide public housing, that
a new approach was taken to
the problem.
Under this law alley dwellings
were permitted to continue in
existence for 10 years, but since
the 10th year fell in a period of
wartime housing shortage, en-
forcement was postponed twice
again for one-year peridoS.
Passage of the District Re-
development Act of 1945 led to
the latest extension to July /,
1855.
Conclusions Outlined.
The committees specific con-
clusionS were:
l. That the Commissioners is
sue a public statement announc-
ing opposition to further post
ponement of the enforcement
date.
2. That all permits for the re-
pair or reconditioning of alley
dwellings be stamped: This
building may not be used as a
dwelling after June 30, 1856"
3. That the city heads ask
Congress for power, among other
things, to prevent material alter
ations of such dwellings and to
restrict permits to only such re-
pairs as may be necessary to
keep the structure habitable until
the 1855 deadline.

received.
Q. Is it necessary to shake hands
with every member of a long re-
ceiving line?
A. Usually, yes. However, it is
best to do what those ahead of you
are doing. 1t is most important
not to stop to chat with anyone
when others are waiting in line
behind you.
Q. What is the best way for par
ents to think friends who have
sent gifts to the new baby?
A. 1t is always proper to write
personal notes, expressing sincere
appreciation and inviting these
people to come to see the new
baby.
@. If a man has become engaged
to marry, is it proper for him to
tell all his friends before the girl
has notified her friends?
A. No; it is the girls privilege
to be the first to make the an
nouncement.
Q. What is the proper thing to
do when one has taken food into
the mouth and it proves much too
hot to swallow?
A. The best thing to do is to
take a swallow of cold water. On
no account, try to remove the food
from the mouth.
@. What is the most popular
boutonniere for ushers at we'd
ding?
A. White carnations are always
in good taste. This is more a mat
ter of choice, however, than of
etiquette.
@. When one is smoking at the
table in restaurant, and there is
no ashtray, is it all right to Sc
a plate or saucer for the ashesf
A. Only an ill-bred person would
do this. 1t is much better to ask
the waiter or waitress for an ash
tray.
Q. When, for any reason, the
hostess of dance cannot or does
not dance, should the man guests
ask her to dance anyway?
A. 1t isn't necessary to ask her
to dance anyway?
A. 1t isn't necessary to ask her
to dance, but each man should "sit
out" at least one dance with her.
Q. Should parents include with
their children in introductions?
A. Yes; and they should teach
their children at an early age how
to make friendly acknowledgment
to those intrdouctions.

@. Is it necessary for a bere-
aved person to return all calls of
coincidence?
A; this is neither required nor
expected.

Q. Is it really proper for we'll
bred girl to accept valuable gifts
of -jewelry from men acquaint-
ances?
A. No. The only gifts a girl
should accept from men acquaint-
ances are such inexpensive items
as flowers, candy, books, station
cry, and the like. Anything that
is too elaborate, or costs a great
deal of money, is taboo with the
well-bred girl.
@. Chen a hostess and three
guests have sat down for a game
of bridge, and another friend drops
in, what should the hostess do?
A. Either invite the guest to
take her place, or suggest some
other game, such as hearts, in
which five persons can play.
@. When introducing two per-
sons, is it proper to say, "Mrs.
Smith, this is Mr.. Jones; Mr..
Smith,"
A. No; it is altogether unneces-
sary to mention the names twice.
Q. Are the desserts always eat
en- with the fork.
A. This depends upon the des-
sert. Sohe desserts are just too
soft to be handled with the fork.
A good rule to follow Use to use
your fork whenever possible, but
use good judgment, too.
@. Is it proper for a man to con-
duct a woman across a room for
the purpose of introducing her to
another man?
A. No. He should always bring
the man across the room to where
the woman is standing or sitting.
@. If a person does not intend
to go in costume, should he accept
an invitation to a fancy-dress
ball?
A. 1t is better if he does not ac-
cept. Any person should accept
an invitation only II he is willing
to enter the festivities in a sin
cere manner.
@. Is it necessary for a woman
to say, please" and "thank you,"
to her servants?
A. While not necessary, this
courtesy could never be called out
of place.
@. Is it always obligatory that
a person give the reason for declin-
ing an invitation?
A. While not obligatory, it
somehow takes the sharpness out
of refusal to give some explana-
ton. And if one gives no reason,
