The chief judges Of District
and Municipal Courts have Or
dered a survey to determine
how many cases a phony law
yer may have been involved in
here.
The records search has been
undertaken on orders of Chief
Judge David A. Pine of District
Court and Chief Judge John
Lewis Smith of Municipal Court
in the wake of the disappear
ance last week of Daniel Jack
son Oliver Wendell Holmes
Morgan.
Morgan. who allegedly posed
here as L. A. Harris while prac-
ticing law in the District foI
about l8 months. is being
sought by the FBI on a warrant
that charges him with fraud
against the Government in
making false statements in
court.
A preliminary check OF Dis
trict court records shows that
Morgan acted as an attorney
for clients in rs criminal cases.
They disclose he was appointed
to serve without fee in two
other cases. but Withdrew be-
fore these actually got to trial,

Charles B. Murray, head of
the Districts Legal Aid Agency
said that Morgan. then using
the name Harris, last March
requested that mis- rame be
removed from the agency's list
of volunteer lawyers available
to defend INDECENT clients in
criminal cases.
In another criminal case in
May, 1860, Morgan was APP
pointed as an attorney to serve
without fee, but. another law
yer was substituted before the
case went on trial,
District Court sources said
it is not known how many civil
cases Morgan may have been
involved in during the time he
practiced law here.
Chief Judge Smith said that
as of yesterday-with the
search only beginning-only
two or three criminal cases
have been uncovered in which
Morgan appeared as an at
torney. The judge said that
as yet he knows of only one
civil case involving Morgan

against him.

SEND A KID TO CAMP
Love Takes Gerald
Away From Riches

All the money and affection
in the world were not enough
to keep Gerald at the side OF
the couple who wanted to adopt
him.
He and his brother were
deserted when they were very
young. The Welfare Depart
ment placed them in a foster
home, paying a foster mother
for their care.
Gerald and his brother were
not legally free for adoption
until several years later.
| BY then. Gerald had taken
his foster mother to his heart.
He wanted no other.
Because they felt Gerald and
his brother were entitled to a
permanent legal home, workers
placed the children with a
couple who wanted to adopt
them both, a couple as rich in
understanding as in fact.
Gerald's little brother was
happy, but Gerald threw tan
trums and got in fights-much
to the surprise of his foster
mother, who never had any
trouble with him.
The best of everything was
in the cards for the boy in this
new home. But he wanted to
go back to his foster mother,
who lived in very moderate
circumstances. She did not feel
she could afford to adopt him,
although the workers asked her
to.
Gerald at IL is a handsome,
personable boy other couples
have sought as their son.
Camp, anywhere he chose,
would have been just one part
of his life if he had stayed with
his adaptive parents. He must
depend today on adults he has
never seen if he is to go.
But Gerald has never re-
gretted his choice to return to
his foster mother. He knew
when he had found his home

Tuition Fee
Raise Voted
ForSchooIs

The District Commissioners
today approved an increase in
tuition fees to be paid by nom
resident students.
The increased rates will go
into effect next fall and will
affect an estimated TOO stu
dents here, who live outside
the District.
The higher fees were rec
commended by District School
Supt. Carl F. Hansen. They
reflect an upward trend in tu-
ition rates which school Off
cials say is dictated by the ris-
ing costs of education.
DR.. Hansen said that teacher
pay raises, the increased costs
of supplies and the hiring of
additional administrative per-
Sonnel have driven costs up.
The largest fee percentage
increase will be for the evening
and adult school students. The
rate for a full course in this
category will go up from $56
to $84, a so per cent jump.
The next highest increase is
a, 1O.6 per cent boost in the
elementary school fee, from
1926 a year to $3.50.
The other increases are: Vo-
cational highs. from 1894 g
year to $607; senior highs, from
1890 to $444; Junior highs. from
1886 to $344; Veterans high
school, from 1888 to $372;
Americanization School, from
$124 to $133;, Veterans summer
school, from $63 to $50. and

Senate Unit
Clears $40
Benefits Bill

District labor groups have
won an important round in
their running battle with husi-
neSsmen over increases in local
workmen's compensation bene-
fits.
The Senate Labor Commit
tee unanimously reported a
House-passed bill to raise from
$54 to $40 maximum weekly
payments to workers who rave
suffered disabling injuries.
Covered in the measured, de-
signed to benefit longshorenien
and harbor workers, would be
all workers privately employed
in the District.
William H. Press. of the Met
ropolitan Washington Board Of
Trade. argued at hearings that
the District should be cut out
of the Federal bill and be given
a legal system of its own.
The new $40 ceiling is 66.66
per cent, a fixed Federal policy.
OF average maritime pay of
$i04,61 weekly, he noted, but
80 per cent of the average pay
of 1928 weekly of private en-
ployes in the District.
Persuasive testimony came
from Walter j. Mason, of the
AFL-CIO. who said increases
still would deprive private en-
ployeS of benefits equal to
those now guaranteed Federal
employees under law. Yet, Fed
eral and private employees in
the District draw comparable
wages and work under compar-
able risks, he said.
The Districts compensation
formula has been written into
the longshoreman's bill since
1928.

pointed cases must file reports
with the court stating the dis
position of each case and any

Commissioners
Told Levy Must
Rise This Yeor
BY SAM EASTMAN
Star Staff Writer

The Districts real estate levy
viii have to be raised this year,
the city governments top ad-
ministrative Official said today.
The Commissioners were told
that the real estate tax rate will
have to go up for the new fiscal
year beginning July u by
Chuyler Lowe. head of the De-
partment Of General Admins
tration.
The present rate is $3.50 per
500 of assessed valuation. The
city assesses at about 55 per
cent of market value.
1T is no longer a question of
whether the real estate tax will
have to be raised, but a ques-
ton of how much it will have
to be increased" Mr.. Lowe said.
The real estate rate and the
personal property business in
ventory) tax are set by the
Commissioners. Ali other Dis
trict taxes are controlled by
Congress.
2O-Cent Increase Proposed
A. frequent proposal for rails
ing the real estate rate is to
raise it 20 cents, to $3.50. This
would bring in about $4.5 mil
N more a year.
From the comment made
today by Mr.. Lowe, it appeared
that city officials are bracing
themselves for revenue de-
mands that would call for an
even higher increase.
There now is a difference OF
more than $22 million between
current revenue sources and
recommended spending pro-
grams for the forthcoming fis-
cal year.
The House has passed a bill
that would increase the gen.
eral sales tax from 2 to 8
per cent. The Senate District
Committee has recommended
a package of tax increases, in
cluding a strong" suggestion
that the Commissioners raise
the real estate rate.
Would Bar Overtime
Mr.. Lowe today told the
Commissioners that if action is
taken by July is on the real
estate rate the September /
tax bills can be soften out
on schedule without expensive
overtime" for extra work by
city employees. After the meet
ing, Mr.. Lowe said that early
August would be the latest that
the tax rate action could be
taken by the Commissioners.
Today's discussion of this tax
came as the Commissioners
voted to hold the personal
property rate at 50 for another
year. =
Mr.. Lowe said that this levy
on business inventories is higher
than any in the surrounding
Jurisdictions, and that he
strongly advised" against rais-
ing it.
On another fiscal matter. the
Commissioners, by a split vote,
opposed provision of funds to
staff the District Council on
Aging.
A minority report from one
Iof the city'S special economy
task force studies had advised
the Commissioners to delete q
$4,000 item in their proposed
budget for two council staff
workers. The Commissioners
learlier had indorsed this pro-
posal.
/ The effect of the spending
item proposal was to establish
a permanent council. The
council had been set up under
q grant on a temporary basis.

NEXT TO HIM was a man
saddened by something even
more intrinsic than the po-
lice. He looked at the plume
of a souvenir hat sticking out
of his box and waving in the
breeze.
Souvenir business is dead,
lady, dead. It's only good for
those high school spring
trips. Summer tourists don't
go for 'em. I'll be back to
fudgsicles by August.
The vendors hawk beside
push cart wagons or boxes
set on wheeled platforms.
One man had a bicycle ice
cream box combination. On
bad days they say they make
"a; on good ones, $50.
Vendors are fiercely COM
petitive but two things bind
them-their dislike for regu-
lations and their admiration
for one vendor who ignores
them, John Costello.
He doesn't have a license,
he goes all the places he
shouldn't even If he had a
license and he's been arrest
ed more than 200 times.
When asked where one
might find John, vendors
cover as If he we're the lead
er of an underground resist
ance movement: Now, lem
me see. Did you try Arlington
Cemetery"
However, they prominent
lv display on their own shirts
the vendors license badges
that inform they cannot sell
on streets from Sixth to
Nineteenth NV. and Con-
stitution to L streets NV,
nor on Sundays or after 7
pm.
IF that wasn't enough, we
also got Capital Parks" said
one.
A Park policeman explain
ed no vending is allowed in
the parks because we want
to keep the park system free
for the people. We don't want
them plagued with people
hawking wares"
So just outside the Mall,
hanging onto the corners of
Seventh and Jefferson S.W.
were three vendors.
This is a through street.
The law says we can stay"

caution and suspicion one
learns to associate with their
profession. Looking longingly
