500 Increase
Proposed for
Small Claims
Judge Walsh
Urges Broader
Court Jurisdiction
By CARL IRVING
Star stan Writer

Chief Judge Leonard p.
Walsh today recommended en-
larging the jurisdiction of the
small claims and Cancellation
branch of Municipal Court by
increasing its claim limit from
$50 to $3.50.
Judge Walsh in the Munici-
pal Courts annual report re-
leased today noted that the
number of small claims cases
has steadily declined during the
last is years and that the small
claims branch could take on
more cases without adding per-
sonnet or facilities.
Present initiation and the
shrinking value Of the dollar
would seem to justify an in
crease in jurisdiction Of the
small claims branch to make
available to more litigants the
simple procedures Of that
branch and insure to each liti-
CANT his day in court with Q
minimum Of effort and cost, "
the judge declared.
Trend Is Reversed
The report noted that GRIM
|inal cases before the court in
creased 1913 per cent during the
last fiscal year. reversing q
downward trend which began
with fiscal 1855. Last fiscal
years SOTO new criminal
cases compared with 5l,239
cases during the previous fiscal
year and the all-time high Of
I64,007 cases in fiscal 1854.
The District of Columbia
branch of the court received
I31,595 cases last fiscal year, an
all-time record for that branch.
Civil cases increased 10 per
cent, with a total 141.360 new
cases filed in the year ending
June 80, 1857, compared with
128.479 civil cases filed in the
previous year. Landlord and
tenant cases continued to be
the most numerous category in
the civil branch, with 82.91l
cases filed. an increase Of all
most 10000 cases over fiscal
1856.
Cash income from these.
fines and forfeitures last fiscal
year totaled S2,53l,193.97, a rs
per cent increase compared
with cash income for the pre-
vious year. = ~
4 15-Year Summary
In a 15-year summary of
court activities, Judge Walsh
noted that the increase in case
volume has been due princi-
Ipally to civil matters. He noted
that 78.461 civil cases were
filed in fiscal 1913, 80 per cent
less than were filed last year.
Landlord-tenant cases in
creased "a per cent, but small
claims cases decreased during
the same l5-year period, the
report showed.
Court income increased from
81 million in fiscal 1943 to SIS
million in fiscal 1857, Judge
Walsh reported. During the is
years total of $23, 100000 was
collected by the court and de-
posted in the United States
Treasury.
The court personnel in
creased from 10 judges and 70
employees to 16 judges and 155
employees, the report said. Four
new departments also were
added during this period, the
report noted-court reporters
Office, assignment commission

Mendel L. Peterson, curator
If military history at Smith

Mendel, whose calling name
FOR some reason or other is
Pete, is an old hand at
snatching coins from the
deep.
When the sun starts to
warm the Northern Henri
sphere, he wants to get out
Of the cubicle that is his
office.
"The deepest I have ever
worked" he said, was about
30 feet. I don't think I have
lived much below 100 feet"

THIS is THE TIME of year
he usually goes on an ex-
petition to examine sub
merged wrecks, but this year
there probably will be a delay
of several months. That
only adds to Pete's restless
ness.
His friend, Ed Link, the
aviation manufacturer known
for the Link trainer, is hav-
ing a boat built especially for
diving to submerged wrecks.
But it will not be finished
until later in the year.
Pete, who is about 40,
close clipped, trim : wasted
and retaining much Of the
strength of his Danish an
cestors, told how he became
involved in this romantic
hobby.
In the spring of 1851, he
was the guest of DR.. George
Grille, jr., of Cleveland on a
cruise out of Miami to a
wreck off the Florida Keys.
The Criles had worked it the
year before-in diving rigs
and recovered a half-ore coin
dated 1720. So the ship was
wrecked after that date. Ed
Link was another guest. They
recovered, among other OBJ
jects, a 2,000-pound cannon
barrel. The wreck was on a
bar marked "Looe's Reef" on
the charts.
Back in ashington n,
Hillary Historian Peterson
started checking, He found
that a British frigate named
Loo had been lost in Ameri-
can waters in 1743.
UNDERSTANDABLE excited, he
telephoned the Criles in
Cleveland. They telephoned
a friend in London who went
to the Public Record office
and dug up q letter from the
master of the Loo, Capt.
Ashby lifting, describing the
loss Of his ship. The next
year Pete went to London
and continued the digging.

the members of the crew
and what they were paid" he
said.
"A wonderful historical
find" said the Rambler, ''but

Letters Encouraged
Mrs. Smith to Run
BY FRANCES LIDE
Star stan Writer

II Mrs. Lawrence H. Smith
Is elected to succeed her late
husband in the House Of
Representatives. she will be
continuing an association
with his constituents which
began with his election II
years ago.
She also very likely will be
the first woman to serve in
Congress from the State Of
Wisconsin,.
For Is years she has been
manager Of her husbands Of
flee on Capitol Hill.
And many of the letters
she has received since his
sudden death in January in
dictate that the voters in Wis
consin's LIST Congressional
district regarded "Lorry" and
Eleanor Smith as a team.
''It was the encouragement
I received from friends and
people I didn't know, both
men and women alike, that
made me decide to rum" Mrs.
Smith explained on her re-
turn to Washington from
Racine. Wis, where she an
nounced her candidacy last
week
"The mail has been won-
derful. So many have said.
We want you to run-and
We'll help you
II couldn't have considered
1t without the offers Of help.
After all. ! have campaigned
nine times and I know the
time and effort that is re-
quired of candidates sup
porters as we'll as Of the can
didate."
Want Woman Representative
Some of the letters have
suggested that it is time for
Wisconsin to send a woman
to Washington. Mrs. Smith
pointed out that her late hus-
bands district adjoins the
Illinois district represented
by Mrs. Marguerite S. Church.
Business and Professional
Women's Clubs have offered
her their support.
And she has been pleased
by editorial comment to the
effect that sentiment for her
candidacy is based, not on
sympathy, but on her quail
f1cations for the Office.
MRS. Smith is not only
gracious and personable, but
a most capable woman" one
newspaper stated.
A columnist in another
wrote: She's undoubtedly
the strongest candidate the
Republicans could offer. Any
one who opposes her in the
party's primary is likely to be
beaten. And whoever the
Democrats choose to run
against her in the final cleo
ton probably will have his
hands full"

Smith will continue to run
her late husbands Office until
a successor is chosen.
She expects to maintain
the schedule she has kept for
Is years-in the Office by 1880
am. and on duty until 5, 6
or 7 pm.
For Economy
It's too early, she said. to
discuss the issues. But I
know my district is conserva-
tive and economy minded.
And I will try to stand for
those things my husband
worked for, thinking always
of the welfare of the dis
trict and of our country"
She also expects to con-
tinue her husbands practice
of doing everything possible
to serve his constituents in a
personal way, she declared.
MY husband enjoyed Moth
ing more than helping people
solve their problems" she
said. HE always answered
every piece of mail he re-
cleveland he always in
sisted that it be answered
promptly. I shall try to do
the same"

Mrs. Smith served as presi-
dent of the Congressional
