JUSTICE WILL BE NAMED FOR HEARING MOTIONS Another Will Be Designated to Supervise Work of Assign- ment Commissioner. Expedition will be the order of the day in the District Supreme Court with the beginning of the April term of the court. Rules have been m‘efl biy the Justices of the court wl will be- come effective April 10 and under which there will be put into operation the Cleveland method of expediting court trials. Adoption of this method with slight changes was recently recom- mended by a committee of lawyers ap- pointed by the court to visit several American cities and learn how they conducted court proceedings. Homer G. Powell, chief justice of the Court of Common Pleas of Cleveland, visited Washington and told the justizs and lawyers of the methods in use there in expediting court procedure. Motion Court Set Up. The principal change made in the rules is the establishment of a wu:l;]::d one fi!fithe justices will be as Motions .’lu.suce. who will sit daily for hearing motions and shall dispose of all ex parte applications and formal orders leaving the trial justices to devote their entire court session to trial of cases. ‘This justice will hear all demurrers, applications for ing orders or junctions and for the appointment of receivers or sequestrators. The clerk to the Motions Justice shall a daily calendar of cases desig- m hearings. Motions which will take more than half-an-hour in argument may be sent to the assignment commissioner, to be assigned as a “trial” case to one of the civil justices. Assignment Justice Named.

MILLONTH OFINCH SHELDINPORTANT Auto Industry Needs Most Accurate Measurements, Says Bureau. BY THOMAS R. HENRY. Undeviating accuracy within less than ten-millionths of an inch now is essen- tial in America’s standardized automo- bile industry. Anything greater’ than this minute error might throw a whole plant out of operation, as well as branch factories scattered over the world, it is revealed in the standards yearbook of the United States Bureau of Standards, just issued. Fineness of measurement which a few years ago was only the dream of the physical laboratory now has become a necessary commonplace of industry. Accuracy Need Explained. How this extreme accuracy is main- tained is shown in a report by C. E. Johansson of the Ford Motor Co. accurate to within eight-millionths of an inch. This is checked every day and sometimes every four hours, against an inspection gaugs accurate to within four-millionths of an Inch. This in turn 18 checked frequently against a labor- atory gauge accurate to within two- milliontns of an inch. Whenever the working gauge in the hands cf the fac- shows an error greater than ten-millionths of an inch, it is immedistely discarded. o “One ‘worn to the point where it does not check the specified limits properly,” says Johansson, “may mean in a hour run several thousand defective parts, ping the operation of the assembly e and retarding the pro- duction activities of some branch in a distant part of the world.” Temperature Important. 15 Kept at 68 degrees farenheit. ept al arel . ents revealed, he says, that an of 13 degrees from this con- stant temperature increased the size of the connecting rod 10 hundred- thousanths of an inch: of the piston, 20 hundred-thounsandths; and of the | piston pin 10_hundred-thousandths. An | increase of 23 degrees increased the | size of the connecting rod 14 hundred- thousandths of an inch. Minor Details Important. Most of the standards now used in the automobile industry apply to rel- atively minor details, reports Dr. Charles F. Ketering, president of the General | Motors Research Corporation, who sees | little prospect of changes in the major | features of design, although such changes might add to operating effi- clency. Cars must be kept at relatively | their present width, he says, because of | the size of roads, and at their present | height because even the best boule- | vards sometimes are rutty with ice and snow. Even finer measurements now are required as routine in other American industries, the bureau reports. One set of commercial length standards in- spected had a maximum error of only three ten-millionths of an inch. To meet ' these increasing demands for accuracy, the bureau’s own equipment must have an even greater accuracy. Standard meter bars submitted from physical laboratories for comparison with the standard length unit kept at ‘Washington are tested to an accuracy of one micron, or thousandth part of a millimeter. Delicate Standards. ‘The most delicate length standards now in general use are made of a platinum alloy. The bureau announces the determination of a superior mate- rial in an alloy of chromium and carbon steel, which has the same heat expan- sion as platinum and is superior in hardness, rigidity and polishing quality. For some of the finest length measures the standard, extremely difficult to use, is a certain wave length of light. For short distances light wave measurements have ‘ been co-ordinated with linear measures to an accuracy of one-balf a mieron. Accuracy in weight measurements of one part in 20,000,000 with a new high- precision balance is announced. Among the notable advances has been the de- termination of variability of standard weights with changes in the humidity, ' which is believed to have brought about serfous errors in some laboratory measurements in the past. Electricity Measured. Improvement of an old mechanism, the bureau announces, now makes it possible to measure the absolute value of an electric current with a possible error of only a few parts in a million. oroperating with.

Assistant United States Attorney Wilbert McInerney will be elevated - to the post held by Pitzpatrick, aided by Assistant District Attorneys Michael F. Keogh and Frank Adams. 'zrllrlck came into the limelight recently in connection with the whole- sale dismissal of gambling cases in Police Court because of lack of prose- cution. In Judge Ralph Given’s court early in January the prosecutor assailed the negligence of police officers for fail- ing to comply with court regulations concerning the handling of cases with the result that frequently it was neces- sary to continue trials five or six times. Cases Dismissed. After Fitzpatrick had informed the court that he had done all in his T to bring about trial of the defendant, but without result because of a lack of co-operation from the officers, Jud; Given dismissed the charges in six cases. ‘An investigation by police officials followed, and later the same cases were ordered reinstated by Mr. Rover.

Extract From Hearing Cited by Magazine. The public school situation in Wash- ington, “where the Board of Education must abide by dictates of the members of the National Congress” in actual ad- ministration of the schools, is described as_“humiliating” by the American School Board Journal, a 40-year-old publication devoted to school system af- fairs, with offices in New York, Milwau- kee, Wis., and Chicago. Having cited an example of what it terms the catechizing of the District of Columbia’s school officials “like school boys.” the School Board Joufnal l’tf- ommends: “Let Congress tend to its own knit- ting, and let those professionally trained run the schools.” City Heads Aid Schools. ‘The Journal's editorial is entitled “Interference with School-Admin- istrative Service.” It peints out that in recent years the relatiops between School Boards =nd City Councils have reached adjustments and understan ings which make for equity and fair- ness. These improved Trelations deal chiefly, the editorial asserts, with the agreement that, while the City Coun- cils vote how much money shall be spent _on schools, school authori- ties lves how it is to bew?}’lernnwi to Washington, ho n, s the editorial characterized the situation as “humiliating.” It continues, in part: “Periodically, members of the District Committee, or a subcommittee thereof, get on a rampage snd want to know why things are as they ai A Con- gressman from Nebraska and another from Mississippi, and still another from Tllinols, know exactly what is the mat- ter with the schools of the District of Columbia.

City councils have long ago surrendered that doctrine. They are fully conscious of the fact that the superintendent of schools knows more about running the sch than do the local aldermen. “But the National Congress is a law unto itself. The Congressmen from Nebraska, Mississippi and Illinois can tell even so disf ished an educator as Dr. Frank W. Ballou where to get off at when it comes to running the schools of the Capital City.” Continu- ing, the editorial concludes: “With an acknowledged educational expert of the Dr. Ballou type at the head of the school system, and with a board of education made up of high- minded citizens, comes also assurance that the schools of Washington are in excellent hands. It dces not follow that, if Congress appropriates thc money for the schools, it also is competent to run them.
