ADVOCATESCHANGE N CRMNAL LAWS Institute Favors Granting Prosecution New Trial in Such Cases. The American Law Institute, now meeting in the Mayflower Hotel, went on record today as favoring a change in the criminal laws so that the prose- ction may be granted a new trial in criminal cases. This would involve a fundamental change:in criminal procedure so that in cases where the defendant has been acquitted, and in the course of the trial & material error has been made to the prejudice of the prosecution, the prose- cution shall be entitled to & new trial. The institute also approved sections of the proposed statute on double Jjeopardy, providing that issues of law and fact shall be-tried by tne court and that the discharge of a jury for good cause shall not act as a bar to a second prosecution. The first section of the proposed new statute in this connection provides that all issues, whether of law or fact, which arise on a motion to quash, based on a rovisian of this chapter, shall be tried y the court. The report on the section dealing with double jeopardy was presented by iam E. Mikell, professor of criminal law at the University of Pennsylvania. ‘The statute proceeds upon the principle that only an acquittal or conviction, not jeopardy of conviction or punishment, is & bar to a second prosecution for the same offense. The institute today also will con- sider the proposed restatement of the law of contracts. AUTOMOBILE TRADE CONTINUES HOPEFUL Optimistic Predictions on Year’s Business Continue to Come From Producers. BY DAVID A. WILKIE, ‘Written for the Associated Press. DETROIT, May 6.—The automobile industry’s irrepressible optimists, un- daunted by the disappointing showing of the first four months of 1932 in the way of increased distribution are car- rying on with the song of better days ahead. Most of them have given up any idea that the hoped-for 3,808,800 unit mark in production and retail dis- tribution can be attained this year and | are compromising with themselves on the possibility that the delayed im- provement all have looked for may eventuate in time to place the year's output and consumption at least on a par with that of last year. Last year’s production in the United States and Canada wes 2,465,000 cars and trucks, considerably below the rec- | ord of 1930. Most of the industry's executives have hoped that through un- precedented sales efforts the decline could be checked. The sales resistance that has marked the last 38 months, however, appears to have tightened up somewhat in the first part of the cur- rent year and sales executives and oth- ers concerned in the industry's distrib- uting division have been obliged to| revise their early estimates of what 1932 will show, when final figures are cast. The optimists seemingly have rea- sonable grounds for their predictions. At the Ford plant the company is ex- pected to produce at least 50,000 units in May. Chevrolet, in the same price field, also is scheduled for a minimum output of 50,000 cars. Plymouth is ex- pected to add approximately 30,008 cars to the industry’s May production. Rumor circulating in trade circles has it that one company which here- tofore has confined its activities to the middle-price bracket will come out some time this month with a new car to sell in the $500-price field. The report | is that the car will be a six-cylinder | type claiming 25 miles to the gallon, and featuring an all-steel body and frame buil as a unit. | GRAND CIRC.LE TO MEET Bicentennial Officer to Banquet Monday. ‘The Grand Circle of the District of Columbia and Virginia Protected Home Circle will hold its anmual meeting at the Washington Hotel Monday.

The funds would be arbitrarily separated from other money raised by taxation in the District, and have no part in the so- called “Federal contribution.” The serious accident last night at ‘Twenty-second and Otis streets north- east caused the group to recommend that Twenty-second street northeast be made a boulevard, with stop signs on all east and west streets intersecting it between Rhode Island avenue and Bunker Hill road. The Executive Committee asked the School Committee to make recom- mendations to the Board of Education seeking to correct alleged abuses in the employment of substitute teachers in the District schools. SEPARATE SCHOOL FUND APPROVED BY CITIZENS Burroughs Association Also Would Have Money Administered by People of District. A taxation proposal which would make school funds separate from the general District fund, and administered by people of the District, rather than by Congress, was approved last night by Burroughs Citizens’ Association. The proposal was made by the group's School Committee, headed by K. P. Armstrong, and provides for taking the HOIRIIS, OCEAN FLYER, WEDS DELAWARE GIRL | otn Danish Transatlantic Airman, Honored by King, Is Married 1 at Elkton, Md. { By the Associated Press. | ELKTON, Md., May 6—Holger Hoirils, | Danish transatlantic airman, and his| | bride, the former Miss Eldred T. Boyn- | ton, were honeymooning somewhere un- | known to relatives today, They were married here Wednesday. " Hoiriis gave his age as 30 and that of his bride as 29, and both gave Marshall- town, Del., as their home. Members of Mrs. Hoirils’ family at ‘Marshalitown and Faulkland, Del., said they understood the marriage was performed at Elkton, but did not know where the couple had gone. Hoirlis and Otto Hillig flew across the Atlantic last June from Harbor Grace, Newfoundland, to Copenhagen by way of Germany. They were given a state reception in Copenhagen, and King Christian of Denmark conferred the Knighthood of Danneborg on Hoiriis, who piloted the airplane.
