washington parties can nave
as many ramifications as
guests. The outstanding ones
can reverberate conversation
ally for months. But million
aire Clendenin Ryan'S party
for Martha Rountree and huS-
band Oliver Presbrey is GER
tainly one of the few to raise
a problem still under discus
sion between honor guests and
the government of the District
of Columbia two months after
the party was given.
The lavish June party that
caused various kinds of pic
sturesque scenery to be raised
on the spot, and even, no
doubt. raised a few political
hopes on the part of the donor
who is running for Governor
Of New Jersey on the indie
pendent ticket, also raised
and here's the rub-a fence.
Although former outdoor
parties of interest have been
staged by Martha at the 1900
Cleveland avenue house she
rents from Barbara Caldwell
Brobeck, and no fence kept
passersby from peeking, this
time it was agreed that a fence
would add desirable privacy to
the spacious gardens. The tenn
porary kind not only comes
high but is gone before you
know it, so permanent Du-
bois type that cost over $1,000
was agreed upon. Fences are
aWfully expensive these days; if
you don't believe it just try
fencing yourself in.
Anyhow the fence did the
trick and the party was a good
one and people came early
and stayed late, but six weeks
later something happened that
had never entered anyone's
mind. A District inspector of
trees and parks was wander
ing down the street on his
regular duty and his trained
eye noticed something at a
glance. He saw in an instant

that the fence was we'll out
on the public sidewalk space
and therefore was in viola
ton of the permit issued for
it's erection. A Baltimore con-
tractor had put it up ap-
parently unaware of the error
involved.
Now Martha has received
official notification from Dis
trict Commissioner Sam
Spencer that the fence has
to come down which is a heck
of a finale for a high class
Dubois Tense. If Martha
doesn't produce something out
of her hat-and I must say
it's an inventive one-in the
next two or three weeks, come
fall she'll no longer be fenced
in.

Local attorneys and their wives
are getting out their suitcases
in readiness for one of the big
events of the year. The Ameri-
can Bar Association will hold its
seventy fifth annual meeting
from August % to the 26th in
Boston.
Top lawyers from all over the
country including many from
Washington, and officials both of
the United States and foreign
countries will be on hand foI
this event. Chief Justice VinSon
of the Supreme Court, the Secre-
tary of State, John Foster Dulles.
and the Attorney General, Her
bert Brownell, will be speakers
at the meeting. Bringing legal
views from without the bounds
of the United States will be the
Lord High Chancellor of Great
Britain, the Right Honorable
Lord Simonds.
Other Lands Represented
Others from other lands will
be Chief Justice Tanaka of
Japan, Mr.. Andre TaSchereau,
president of the Canadian Bar
Association, as well as represent
atives from Cuba and Mexico.
Chief Justice Tanaka was in
Washington last week and was
the cause for several stag parties.
He left today for New York and
will then go on to Boston.
The reason for his trip to the
United States was to gather
more information on ouT legal
system. A problem in the Jap
aneSe high court is that there is
no restriction on the number of
cases that will be accepted and
tried by this body of Is men. Be-
cause of the heavily burdened
docket, the court has divided |
itself into three groups of five |
members each to decide on minor
questions and only meet in en-
tirety on major issues.
Like Situation
This situation was also the
case in our own Supreme Court
until 1925. Under the leader
ship of Chief Justice William
Howard Taft it became neces-
Sary to file a petition for certior-
ari which could be accepted or
not by the nine members of the
high court. A very small per-
centage is accepted. If the case
is not of sufficient interest to
the public, the decision of the .
lower court stands. /
Among Westinghouse that
are Boston bound are the Presi-
dent of the District of Columbia
Bar Association and Mrs. w.
Cameron Burton and Chairman
of the District delegates and
Mrs. Charles Rhyme. Miss Jane
Burton will also go along with
her parents.
Mr.. Rhyme will give a lunch /
con on Wednesday at the May
flower for members of the House
of Delegates. Among those in
vited are the Attorney General, |
Chief Judge of the u. S. District |
Court for the District of Column
bia Laws and Judge Walter M. |
Bastian of the U. S. District
Court for the District of CO.
lumbia.
Bricker Amendment Discussed
Still others planning to attend
the meeting where one of the
most discussed subjects will be
the Bricker Amendment to the
Constitution, are Associate JUS
tice of the Supreme Court Jack

So the outlook was diScourag-

when the present season opened
that is, with at least one excep-

The Bohemians finished third
last season, 13 games behind the

ans tangled with the Globes and
four times the BohemianS won.
They won at a ratio of two
games to one. Against other riv-
ais. the BohemianS struggled to
hold their own.
This seasons schedule pitted
the Globes and Bohemians in an
early match for which both
teams hankered. The Globes,
with quite an edge in average,
were firm favorites in spite of
last seasons pastings by Perce
Wolfe, Russ Spilman, Hall Will

BY way of evening up COM
petition, the District Duckpin
League years ago set limit on
team averages to start the
season. Thus, the top bowlers
couldn't be corraled by a few
teams. The limit was 615. It
was raised last season to go, but
before the season began an ex-
ception was voted. AS a SPORT
ing gesture, the championship
team would be permitted to keep
its lineup intact for the title
defense, no matter what its
average.
Thus, when the current sea-
son began the champion Glebe
Radio team found itself with at
least a 10-point advantage over
all rivals. Last season it aver
aged $50 and a fraction for los
games. 1t was an all-time record
for the league, in which every
top-notch duckpin bowler in the
history of the game has COM
peted.
That $50 average broke a rec
ord which stood for a dozen
years-the 629-plus hung up
by Gait Davis Rosslyn combina-
ton featuring Astor Clarke.
