More than $50 fellows ano
guests of the American College
of Trial Lawyers last night
heard a noted British barrister
warn that the old public mis-
trust of lawyers is again rear
ing its head.
The speaker was Goeffrey
Lawrence, c.. c., the barrister
who successfully defended DR..
John Bodkin Adams against a
charge that he drugged a
wealthy woman patient to
death so he could benefit from
her will. The spectacular
Adams trial lasted II days in
London's famed Old Bailey to
become the longest murder trial
in British history.
Defended the Doctor
Mr.. Lawrence made only a
passing reference to the Adams
case. He ruefully remarked that
he is apparently doomed for
ever to be known as "the man
who defended the DOCTOR"
In a speech laced with humor
he struck a serious note when
he warned that cases are being
taken out of the courts to be
tried by administrative tribu-
mails without benefit of counsel
Emphasizing every m ans
right to a friend at his side
to speak for him, Mr.. Lawrence
told the lawyers Judges are
not seers gifted with second
sight. What leads them to an
occasional right decision is not
a divinely given power of in
sight but the assistance they
get from you and me-"

"REMINISCES"
Clark Ribs
In Bar Talk
By ROBERT CLARK
Star STAFF Writer

With a bow to his best-selling
colleague. Felix Frankfurter,
Associate Justice Clark of the
Supreme Court entertained
young lawyers here for the
American Bar Association con-
vention yesterday with a dis
course entitled CLARK Remi-
nisces."
In a luncheon address to the
junior bar conference at the
Shoreham Hotel he dispelled
several illusions about the way
the high court performs its
work and gave a friendly 1.b-
bing to Justice Frankfurter
author of the recently pub
lished Felix Frankfurter Remi-
nisceS."
Noting that it is perhaps too
much to inflict on the bar to
have two justices reminiscing
at once, he recited this Jingle:
King Solomon and King David
led very merry lives,
With very many concubineS
and very many wives,
Until old age came creeping
with very many qualms,
Then Solomon wrote the Prov
cribs and David wrote the
Psalms"
Justice Clark also disposed
of the popular Sacrilege that
the law clerks of the nine
justices do most of the work
of the Supreme Court. Letting
the young attorneys in on some
OF the secrets of how the men,
bers of the court reach then
decisions at their regular Fri.
day conferences when the court
is in session, Justice Clark said
I'D heard the law clerks die
most of the work. But they

they can't even prompt U.S."

On Insurance
New.York Justice
Says More Money
Is Now Involved
BY CARL IRVING
Star Stan Writer

Courts are congested with
litigation because everyone is
insured to the hilt these days,
a New York Supreme Court
Justice told the National Con-
ference Of State Trial Judges
yesterday.
Every day, judges tell juries
that insurance must make no
difference in their delibera-
tions," Justice Aron Steuer de-
clared. But this is lip serv-
ice. 1t does make a big diff
ference to jurors and judges" |"
he said.
Justice Steuer said he does
not believe the population in
crease, swollen traffic and ur-
ban trends are directly re-
sponsible for the steady growth
of court congestion.
Although the wording Of the
law remains the same, he
continued. the idea of what Ii
ability is has changed mate
rally. Responsibility" has
taken on a new meaning in
law since 40 years ago, because
insurance coverage means more
money will be available in &C
cident cases, the justice indi-
Gated.
AS a result, the bar is "negli-
gence conscious" he said.
The justice said some at
torneys in the New York area
have shown a "flabbiness of
moral fiber" Although 1t would
be impossible to describe how
widespread this trend is, "eco-
nomic pressure" has produced
a state Of mind that will change
the facts in an injury suit if
necessary to gain a favorable
verdict" the jurist declared.

Split on Issue
Of Jurisdiction
Isolation Charges
Claims Of Taking
Safety Risk Made
By MIRIAM GUTENBERG
Star Stafi Writer

Two conflicting reports on
the extent the United States
should participate in the Inter-
national Court Of Justice set
the stage last night for what
is expected to be the most
hotly debated issue at this
weeks meeting Of the Ameri-
can Bar Association.
One bar committee is calling
for the United States to take
the lead in seeking universal
peace through rule of law. The
other bar committee contends
that in the present state of
world affairs, Americans must
be cautious about taking any
steps which might impede our
freedom Of action in unfore-
seen emergencies"
Members have undergone a
barrage of arguments from
both camps. On the one hand,
there have been accusations of
a return of isolationism. On
Hle other hand. there have
been contentious that any
change in the status QUO would
represent a gamble with the
Nafinn,S security

At issue is an eight-word
amendment by the then Sena-
ator Connally, Democrat of
Texas. which gave the United
States the right to determine
for itself whether cases involv-
ing this country before the
International Court of Justice,
or World Court, were "domes-
tic" and outside the jurisdic-
ton of the international judges.
The Bar Association, in
1947, went on record against the
Connally amendment and
urged that it be deleted. With
that deletion, a dispute over
whether the World Court has
jurisdiction in a case involving
the United States would be
settled by decision of the in
ternational judges.
The Bar Associations Com
mittee on Peace and Law
Through United Nations spon-
sored the bars 1947 resolution.
That is the committee which
now wants to reverse the bars
l947 policy. Its recommenda-
tion is that the bars former
action be rescinded and that
the Senate be urged to take no
action at this time to wipe out
the Connally amendment.
Cling to 1947 Declaration
Opposing this position is the
special Committee on World
Peace Through Law. which
made public a bulky report yes
terday urging the Bar Asso-
citation to reaff1rm its l947
position. The issue was as
signed to this committee at
the mid-year meeting Of the
associations House Of Dele
gates when IS delegates Joined
in favoring retention of the
Connally Amendment.
The Wcrld Peace Through
Law group, pointing out that
its position is held by both
President Eisenhower and Vice
President Nixon, contends that
Until the United States changes
Its position there is little or no
pressure on Russia to accept
the compulsory jurisdiction of
the World Court.
"The do-nothing, drift and
Simidity. status-quo position
urged by Connally Amendment
supporters in a world where
science has outrun law is a
danger we dare not assume"
this group warned in its report.
Change Called Gamble
The Peace and Law Through
United Nations Group contends
that the Connally amendment
has in no way interfered with
the settlement of purely inter-
national issues.
This committee feels that in
the present state of world
affairs-at this time of world
chaos and cold war-when our
President is publicly subjected
to insults and abuses from the
heads Of foreign governments
we cannot agree to gamble
away our security" said that
committee.
The issue will get its first
public airing before the policy

No Budget Increase
Sought By Bingo Bd.

| Delaware's bingo control COM
mission will be among the few
state agencies which will not re-
quest an increased appropriation
from the budget commission.
The figure being sought for one
year of operation is $4,000 which
is the same as during the first full
year of operation.
Hearings for the Bingo Commits
sion were slated for last Monday
and the budget was presented by
the Commission president, Alexan-
der r. Abrahams of Wilmington,
with other members present to as
sist in the discussions.
All members of the five-man
commission approved the figure at
meeting recently.
The commission began opera
ton of legalized bingo on June 16,
1858, and now has behind it the
experience of a full fiscal year of
activity.
In the first full year of its work
the Commission missed a break
even in fiscal operation by ap-
proximately $4,000.
When the commission budget
was presented to the budget COM
mission in Dover it was explained
warded to the General Assembly
recommending changes in the or
iginal bingo statutes which pegged
the per night license fee at $500. ;,
The recommendation will be that
the fees be upped on the basis of
an experience rating table of av-
erage attendance at games. With a
year of operation to make the rat
ings of sponsors true in proper
tion to attendance the commission
will recommend increased fees not
to exceed SIS per night of play.
Permission was granted at the
meeting to the Mill Greek Fire
Company to use bus transportation
to the games at the fire house This
will be on an experimental basis
and must follow the same regula-
tions laid down by the other case
