for falsifying such a statement
is a $1,000 fine, or a year in

diate miracles, Mr.. King said.
AS q matter of fact. he isn't
very happy with what has
been provided under recent
legislation. but says it's a be-
ginning"
The creation Of the agency is
a compromise, the result Of
concrete efforts that got under
way in 1856 when the Dis
trict Bar Association created q
Legal Aid Commission to study
the growing problem Of provid-
ing free legal help for the in
digent.
This commission studied the
question for three years, re-
porting in October, 1858.
BY this time the problem
had reached crisis preparations.
The Municipal Court system Of
appointing attorneys-leaving
them the option of asking a
fee where possihle-was under
attack. and the fewer than 800
attorneys chosen to serve
without fee-at District Court
pleaded that the burden was
becoming too heavy.

mission report in hand. a re-
juvenated District Judicial
Conference, made UP Of local

The conference decided to
take the problem to Congress,
seeking Federal funds to pro-
vide legal counsel for the in
creasing number Of Washing
tonians unable to hire their
own lawyers.
Opposition Arose
But there was dissension.
Though the Judicial Confer
ence approved the Legal Aid
Commission recommended tions,
opposition came from directors
Of the District Bar Association
and the Washington Bar AsSo-
citation. They called for a con-
tinuation Of the old system Of
court appointment Of lawyers.
Under the Legal Aid COM
mission recommendations, Con-
gress would have set up an
agency-at an annual cost of
about $225, ,000-with q paid
staff Of lawyers which would
make use also Of volunteer at
torneys in both criminal and
civil cases. Critics Of this modi-
fed public defender system
said it would put the Govern
ment in the business Of both
defending and prosecuting
those charged with crimes.
