No “so-called lawyer” should be al- lowed to shield a dishonest public offi- | cial by invoking the plea of professional | | privilege between attornev end client, | | Samuel Seabury, who for some time hac been conducting an inquiry into the government of New York City. told the | American Law Institute last night in | the Mayflower Hotel. | The institute adjourned its tenth {annual meeting after listening to Mr. | Seabury's address and talks by Joseph | C. Hutcheson, jr., of Houston, Tex, | judge of the United States Circuit | Court of Appeals, ard Dr. G. J. Lamg, | dean of the di of humanities University of Chicago. Mr. Seabury made several réferences {to the “sickening corruption which characterizes the government of New | York City.” Charges Political Pull. In urging that the power of appoint- i ment of city magistrates be taken aw from the mayor and given to the tices of the appeliate division, he “These inferior courts. by political influences governing lection of judges and interfering with their proce:ses, have been reduced to a low state. Political pull and favor | often relgn in them. The whole sys- | tem of the administration of justice in | these courts has completely broken | down by reason of the control the dominant political organization exerts over them.” B He made the following four specific recommendations: 1. That the city magistrates be ap- pointed by the judges of the appellate division. 2. That the legal privilege against self-incrimination be modified so in- vestigators can inquire into the pri- vate lives and acts of public cfficials. Judge Hutcheson Elected. 3. That all contracts for public works should contain an explicit waiver of the privilege against self-incrimination in | any proceeding involving the contract, in order to facilitate the discovery of bribery. 4. That a lawyer's right to refuse to disclose communications between him- self and his client be modified so that in all an attorney's dealings with public officials or political organizations or their leaders in relation to public con- cessions, public contracts or favors there should be no privilege against full disclosure of the facts. He explained this recommendation was not aimed at confidences between attorneys and pri- vate clients. Judge Hutcheson was elected by the institute to its council to fill the va- cancy left by the resignation of Judge Charles C. Nott, jr., of the Court of General Sessions, New York City.

SEX RESERVATION IN PROTOCOL ASKED Woman's Party Plea Before Sen- ate Committee Opposed by League Women. By the Associated Press, A reservation to the Root protocol for American adherance to the World Court to prevent sex discrimination in| the administration of international law was demanded at a hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee | yesterday by the National Woman's Party. A protest against such a reservation | was filed, however, by the National | League of Women Voters. | Miss Laura Berrien, speaking for the Woman's Party, said the reservation was necessary to prevent nullification of the stand taken by the United States against the Hague natiorality conven- tion, which she contended discrimin- ates against women.

C. ITEMS IN MEASURE (Continued From First Page.) the House was not based on demands for local economy, but was to transfer from the Federal Government to the District government $3,000,000 of the amount the United States has been | contributing toward the support of its Capital. The taxpayer gained nothing by the budget reduction, but instead was threatened with higher taxes—a procedure entirely out of harmony with budget-cutting economies in other municipalities, where budgets have been cut in order to reduce taxes. The 1933 budget when it went to | the House in December was not padded or.filled with items which the Com- missioners did not regard as urgent. It was strictly an economy budget, re- duced by economic necessity to & mini- mum, and one which the District could support on estimated revenues in 1933. The Commissioners had predicated it on a $9.500,000 Federal contribution :nd ccintlnunnoe of the existing $1.70 ax rate. Careful Pruning Shown. The fact that the Commissioners had | carefully pruned estimates before send- ing them to the Budget Bureau is shown in the differences between the appropriation requests of the department heads and _the tof of their own budget. The depart- ment heads had asked for appro- priations amounting to $57,500,000, and the Commissioners reduced this figure to $47,331919, In the interest cof further economy, the | Budget Bureau trimmed off $3245,000, | and sent to Congress estimates totaling $44.086.919. The figure of $39,913,810, | approved by the House, is £17,500,000 less than the amount Jepartment heads estimated as nec | sary in 1933, and $7,418.109 under the “balanced economy budget” estimates of the Commissioners, While it is obvious that the reduc- tions made by the House primarily were to absorb the $3,000,000 cut in the Federal contribution, the House Ap- | bropriations Committee in reporting the | appropriation bill, made this comment: “Having in mind the necessity for reduced expenditures, the committee has eliminated new items wherever pos- sible and "has also denled the estab- lishment of new positions except in cases of the utmost urgency. Particu- lar consideration has been given to proposed and in most cases the committee has found it possible to postpone such proj- ects without seriously interfering with | the welfare and needs of the District. The committee has also taken into con- sideration the reduced cost of food, clothing, supplies and equipmeri anc has made a general reduction in ap- propriations for such purposes through- out the bill."” Effect Far-Reaching, & Some of the reductions, however, will have a far-reaching effect. One item | alone, the $800,000 recommended for | unemployment relief, leaders in welfare and charitable activities have already pointed out, will result in untold hard- ship upon the jobless, since the funds of private rellef agencles are rapidly becoming exhausted owing to unprece- dented demands. Specifically, some of the other major | tems eliminated by the House included $75,000 for beginning construction of a building for the Georgetown Branch Library, $250,000 for construction of & ° ;lew Low Prices for the DEAF.

In connection with the highway items, the House re- duced the gasoline tax fund expendi- tures by $288,900, thereby leaving this amount idle since it cannot, under the law, be spent for other purposes. This reduction removed 13 proposed improve- ments from the 1933 highway program. The Highway Department also was denfed an appropriation for the widen- ing and repaving of Constitution ave- | nue from North Capitol to Sixth street, | & project in the program of converting | | Constitution avenue into & raonumental | boulevard from the Capitol ‘o the Ar- | lington Memorial Bridge. The first link in this program, the widening of Con- stitution avenue from Fourteenth street to Virginia avenue, was completed last year. Traffic Lights Estimates Cut. ‘The House also reduced estimates for the purchase of traffic lights by $30,000, disallowed funds for using private au- tomobiles in official work, reduced the | fund for the purchase and maintenance of cofficial motor vehicles by $54,416 and cut $100.000 from the estimates of the Office of Public Buildings and Public Parks of the National Capital for the mprovement and care of parks. Other | drastic reductions included $50.000 for | the extension of water mains, $120.000 for improvements in the sewcrage sys- tem, $96000 for street lighting and 83,500 for constryction of & new fire house in the vicinity of 14th street and Rhode Island aveniie northeast. Public school items also were cut from the Budget Bureau's total of $12.530915 to $11,939 808. | In other words, the reductions to & |large extent were in items involving capital expenditures out of which come improvements. As a result of the cuts, the capital appropriations for 1933, on the basis of the House b& will be lower | than they have been since 1930. An analysis of the appropriation acts since 1930 shows the amounts for capl- | tal expenditures varied as follows: 1930-—$11,959.000. 1931—$14.482.000. 193212 837,000, 1933—$7,921,000 The 1933 budget &s it went to the House called for $10,750.000 in Capital appropriations; the reductions in these items therefore amounted to $2,829,000 ' ORATORS WILL COMPETE | | Finalists of Trinity College Debat- | ing Society Set for Tonight. | Six finalists will compete this eve- | ning in an oratorical contest to be keld | | by the Trinity College Debating Society. | speakers and their topics follow Miss Regiua Biggs, Washington, “True | Patriotism”, Miss Shelia Doody, Was! | ington, “Were Abraham Lincoln Alive”; | Miss Kathryn Walsh, Davenport, Iows, | “Fate Marks a Man"; Miss Myrtle | Black, Philadelphia, Pa., “Quicksands of | Communism”; Miss _Catherine Red- | mond, Washington, “The Irish Fight for | Preedom,” and Jeanne Butler, Washington, “Youth Looks Toward Peace.” The judges will be Right Rev.
