District Court
Concerned by
Case Transfers
Sharp Increase
In Certificutions
Adds to Loud
BY CARL IRVING
Star stan Writer

A recent sharp increase in the
number Of cases certified from
District Court is causing con-
Germ at Municipal Court. it was
learned today.
Chief Judge Leonard P. Walsh
told The Star that the trans
fers. now more than double last
years rate, represent "the most
pressing current problem before
the Municipal Court"
Court records show that SO
cases have been certified from
District Court since January /.
compared with 1872 cases GER
titled during all of 1857. Mu-
nicipal Court officials said they
understand at least SO addi-
tional cases are en- route.
Judge Walsh said he had ar
ranged to use the three judges
from the Domestic Relations
branch Of the court for full
time civil court service for one
month each. He said Judge
John H. Burnett will serve dur
ing April, Judge Godfrey L.
Munter during May and Judge
John H. Myers during June.
Civil Calendar More Serious
THE Domestic Relations
calendar does not warrant the
judges being taken away at this
time. but the civil calendar now
reflects a more serious problem
which must be met" the judge
observed.
Judge Walsh said he had
also recalled Judge Almond w
Scott from retirement to serve
80 days, beginning immediate
ly. Judge Scott previously has
served for three-month periods
during the summer and autumn
while other judges were on
vacation.
Since October. 1856, District
Court judges have certified
cases to the lower court if they
concluded that the parties to
the case were unlikely to re-
cover more than $4,000. Previ-
ously, the amount below which
a case could be sent to Munic-
ipal Court was $1,000.
Certain Trial Seen
"Nine-tenthS of these are
jury cases in which attempts
for disposition by settlement
have already been made at Dis
trict Court" the Judge noted
When cases come over here
they are bound to go on trial
which means every one of them
will take up time on the court
calendar" he said.
Judge Walsh emphasized he
did not object to the certiflca-
ton if it helped to cut delays
for the litigants. But he noted
that the Municipal Courts
ability to keep its civil jury
calendar current may soor
fail.
II don't see how we can re-
main current at the rate cases
are being certified to this
court" he said.
The judge said he had called
for a concerted effort by all
the judges to meet the prob
lem. He said he has asked
judges who are assigned to
criminal and traffic matters tc
take on civil cases if they have
time remaining before the
court day is over.

To meet objections voiced by
his Arlington constituents, he
proposed four amendments.
Br0yhill's Amendments
OF these, the House adopted:
. Postponement of building
until the Secretary of the
Interior was sure enough money
was collected to construct the
wall.
. Guarantees that sponsors Of
the National Freedom Founda-
ton would consult with the
Arlington County Board on
plans.
Mr.. Broyhill had not time
before the decisive Green move
to formally file his other two
SuggeStionS-one to strengthen
language requiring National
Capital Planning Commission
and Fine Arts Commission ap-
proval of final designs, and the
other, to grant the Arlington
board power to zone buildings
behind the site up to the height
of the monument.
Other amendments voted by
the House:
. Required the foundation to
set up a trust fund, from which
"one hundred cents from every
one dollar collected" would be
used for construction. BY Mr..
Younger.
. Handed Senate and House
Insular Committees the right
tc review plans received by
Interior from the Foundation.
BY Mr.. Aspinall.
. Barred commissions on COL
lection of money from school
children. BY Mr.. Doyle.
Promoters Profits
Chances for promoters to
reap profits at the expense of
youngsters were too great to
risk. California Representatives
insisted.
Il am shocked to see a propo-
Sltion come to the floor so
wide-open," Mr.. Doyle de-
clared. 1T doesn't sound good.
1t doesn't smell good"
Representative Smith, Demo-
crat of Virginia, interrupted
the opposition. He said he
didn't think any of it was
reasonable.
Why all the shouting?" he
asked. He said the site was too
small for use by the Arlington
National Cemetery, a use he
understood veterans favored.
He admitted that some Arling-
ton property owners wanted to
protect their land values and
their view from the wall.
II would not want to do any
thing to harm Mr.. Broyhill's
constituents. They used to be
mine" he said. But l haven't
heard one logical reason on
this floor for opposing this
memorial"
Opposition Swells
Opposition ranks swelled.
however, as more and more
questions about financing re-
manned unanswered.
Sponsor Aspinall did say that
workmen might be on the
monument job for rs years, and
that landscaping and parking
costs would run Sc million more
than the wall proper.
Asked what happened to the
money collected in 1854 by wall
promoters who then planned
the monument for Georgia
mountaintop, Mr.. Aspinall said
1921 900 had been spent. OF
this amount 100000 went
toward updating models of the
wall and the balance was paid
staffers, consultants and his
torians, according to a tele-
gram from sponsors read by
Mr.. Aspinall.

Teachers of our country
should not be burdened with
such drives for money" Mrs.
Green said.
Republican colleagues called,
"vote-vote" from the other
side of the chamber. And the
amendment was shou e d
through almost unanimously.
Fight Is Over
The fight was over. 1t took
three votes to count out wall
champions, however.
A first voice vote on recon-
mitment was challenged. So,
Congressman stood to be
counted 100 for and 81 against.
Bill sponsor Aspinall, Demo-
crat of Colorado demanded still
another tally by roll call.
This final count was COM
plicated by a cluster of Con-
gressmen who circled the
Speakers desk changing their
Mays" to ayes" as wall sup
port fell apart.
Mrs. Green sided with Spon-
sors, whose wall she doomed,
in voting against sending the
bill back to committee.
The House spent as much
time arguing over the wall as
it had taken to appropriate
sos billion earlier in the day.
Senate passed legislation

struction of the wall on the
Arlington side of the Potomac
The site, already cleared by
Congress. was to have been

old Nevius Tract. The monu-
ment would have expressed
American freedoms in carvings

rial was IAN oven built with

Representative Gross failed

though. 1t was his motion to
recommit.

rape a 21-year-old mother and
robbing her of Sc last July.
The defendants are James o.
Harris. 20. Of the 1900 block of

James E. Curtis, jr., 10, of the
100 block of Sumner road Sc;
Make L. Pee, 10, and George A.

Tamm gave johnson a one
year sentence for carrying a
knife and ordered the term to
run consecutively to the SEN
tence on the. other charges.
The five had been convicted
by a jury last December 10.
All were tried on the more
serious charge Of rape but the
jury found them guilty on the
lesser charge of assault with
intent to rape.
The woman testified she was
forced into an automobile oc-
cupied by the five and driven
to Fort Stanton Park. She
testified that Harris and Curtis
had relations with her. The
Government contended the
other three were aiders and
abettors and therefore were
named as principals.

Representative Gross, Re-

the bill to build q giant Free

for at least 10 days so that the
final design could be handed
the House before q vote.
The Senate-passed bill would

ton.
