That is of particular interest
in Washington. for if Congress
passes the bill to create family
court for the District of Colum-
bia, one of the detectives would
be to establish collection ma
chinery similar to that in use
here.
Detroit's Friend of the Court
system has been developing for
more than a third of a century.
1t was established in 1918, by
resolution of the circuit judges,
who then numbered six. The
county appropriated $4,000 for
it's operation that first year,
paying the Friend of the Court
SITS per month. His stenog-
rapher received 500.
The Office was expanded in
1920 and again in 1925. Each
year since then one or more
employees have been added.
In the words of Presiding
Judge Ira w. Jayne. one of the
outstanding administrative ju-
rists in the United States, the

At last count the Office en-
ployed ia persons. It's current
budget is $660,185. Hazen E.
Kunz. present friend of the
court, is paid $4,000 a year and
his chief assistant gets $4,000.
The Friend of the Court sys-
tenn is unlike the Family Court
Center in Toledo. 1t does not
employ marriage counselors and
social workers, but Wayne Coun-
ty is trying an experiment it
hopes will help reconcile some
quarreling couples.
With the blessing of the Cir
cult Court. the county last fall
entered into a contract with DR..
Katherine Greene, a pSycholo-
gist. for marriage counseling
service. She has an office in a
building near the courthouse.
Under the arrangement, coun-
ty residents are privileged to
consult Mrs. Greene at any time
they can get an appointment.
provided they have no litigation
pending in court. Thus, the resi-
dents are encouraged to consult
her when family discord develops
land before they reach the
point Of filling for divorce.
In five months DR.. Greene has
counseled with more than 800
individuals-one or more people
out of 200 marriages. This is an
unusually heavy workload.
Success Undetermined.
Mrs. Greene said it is too
early to tell how the experiment
is working out, but she hopes
it will succeed as well as service
she has performed in a neigh
boring county.
Once divorce action is in
stituted, Mr.. Kunz's staff takes
over. His Office employs a large
number of lawyers and other
trained investigators. While

D. {. Commissioners
To Hear Problems Of
Visiting Nurse Group

-
The Visiting Nurse Association
will state its position to the
Commissioners at 1890 am. to-
morrow in the latest hearing on
its difficulties in obtaining Dis
trict funds for care of public as
sistance patients.
While Congress designated
SOS, 900 in each of the fiscal 1858
and 1854 District budgets for
bedside nursing care of such in
digent patients by the associa-
ton. only $4,000 of the 1858
amount has been paid. and none
of the 1854 sum.
AS result, the association re-
ports it has been operating at a
loss and has had to borrow more
than $4,000 to meet operating
expenses. A Community Chest
agency. it received $183, 900 from
the Chest in 1858. About 80 per
cent of its visits are made free.
The latest disagreement with
the Health Department, in whose
budget the public funds are ear
marked. concerns the use of stu
dent nurses to visit public assist
ance patients. This is opposed
by top Health Department Off
Gals who feel graduate nurses
should be used.
Standard Practice.
The association holds that this
limitation is contrary to stand
ard practice established all over
the country, would cause drastic
curtailment of the associations
nursing services to the public
and to schools of nursing, and
would impose a heavy financial
burden
A snag developed over the 1853
contract with the Health Depart
ment's view of the degree Of
control that should be exercised
over public funds. It's budget
officer held that only $4,000
could legally be paid lnder that
contract, which was not signed
until June 9. 1858. three weeks
before the end Of the fiscal year.
Although the association un-
derstood that the long delayed
contract provided for payment
Of the full number of visits up to
the $25 900 limit. at 1925 visit,
the Health Department held that
it required prior approval for all
visits in excess of a schedule
contained in the contract.
This contract and the $4,000
balance is pending before the
Controller General for advice.
Opposes Students Visits.
Conferences on the 1854 con-
tract have progressed to the
point where the Health Depart
ment now has agreed to forego
its limits on the visits it would
pay for without special author
ization.
But it has baked at paying for
visits by student nurses. even
though supervised by expert
enced graduates.
Meanwhile the association has
made more than 1000 visits to
public assistance patients since
the beginning of the fiscal year,
for which it has had no compen-
sation from the District.
Before fiscal 1853, except for a
limited number of special ar
rangements, there was no pro-
vision for financial help from the
District for visits to INDECENT pa
tients. But in 1852, because of
increasing costs and the Chests
inability to increase its contri-
button sufficiently, the associa-
ton applied for an appropriation.

Hitch Your Wagon
To Stor. Sovonnoh
Rabbi Advises
BY Dr.. Abraham !. Rosenberg
Rabbi of Cong. B'nai Birth
Jacob of Savannah

Emerson's advice is as good to-
day as it ever was, when he said
''hitch your wagon to a star"
There is no brighter star than the
religious-moral ideal. Though we
are all agreed that it is right and
fair for the public schools not to
teach the beliefs of any one par
ticular religion we can just as
properly agree that they should
teach the ethical values and moral
ideals common to all religions.
Religious ideals will provoke j.
initiative and provide the ferment
that makes man search for ways
of fulfillment. They encourage de-
liberation by giving sound and
durable frame of reference for
comparing values. They urge man
to exercise personal choice as the
result of elaboration and not the
choice of the masses as the result
of an Everybody is doing it"
slogan. By their very nature they
provide stamina for struggle, en-
durance of hardship and scorn of
hooking majorities. By them a
personality becomes spontaneous
and original bringing to the fore
the better qualities of Individual
ty and minimizing that which
is standard and routine.

u. S. ANNOUNCES NEW
IMMIGRATION POLICY

NEW YORK, (JTA) - Attorney
General Herbert Brownell an
nounced last week at mass natu-
ralization ceremonies here the
new pre-inspection policy under
the immigration laws.
The new procedures, which call
for inspection of aliens at their
point of origin and reject the in
eligibles there, will serve a two
fold purpose, according to Mr..
Brownell; First, inadmissibility of
any alien will be determined be-
fore arrival and often before de-
parture from abroad, materially
reducing the hardship which
comes with exclusion at port of
entry. Second, the alien in posses
sion of proper documents will be
admitted with virtually no delay
at the port of entry by the immi-
grafton authorities.
Under the new immigration pol
icy, Ellis Island, known to hun
dreds of thousands of immigrants
who passed through it's portals, is
being closed down.

He said that units installed on

installed after that date must be
registered by the owner of the
