LAW INSTITUTE STUDIES “DOUBLE JEOPARDY" REPORT Committee Recommends Uniformity and Adoption by All Jurisdictions. SUBJECT YEAR AGO OF SHARP DISPUTE Eleven New Members of Council to Be Named—Code Draft Takes 15 Years. Continuing its study of criminal | Jaw, the American Law Institute today | heard a report, the result of several years' study, on & restatement of the statute on double jeopardy. The report. the work of a commit- tee headed by William E. Mikell of | the University of Pennsylvania, cov- | ered variations in the statutes and their interpretations in all of the ! States and asked that a uniform law be approved by the institute and rec- ommended for adoption in all court Jurisdictions in the entire country. A similar report was submitted & year ago, but a sharp controversy de- veloped that caused it to be sent back for additional study. i Later in the day or tomorrow the institute is to select 11 new members of the Covncil. its governing body. | The new councilors will succeed John | W. Davis, William V. Hodges, Robert G. Dodge. Joseph C. Hutcheson, jr.: Victor Morawetz, George “Welwood Murray, Atlee Pomerene, Elihu Root. | Thomas I Parkinson, Henry Upson | Sims and Cornelius W. Wickersham. Many Years Required. Pifteen years probably will be re- quired to carry out the wor'™~ of draft- ing a new and uniform code of crim- inal law in keeping with the sugges- tion of President Roosevelt, the Ad- visory Committee on Criminal Justice | reported to the institute yesterday! through William Draper Lewis, the director. The task will be one of such far- reaching effect that the legal pro- | fession will need the assistance of sociologists criminologists. psychia- trists, political sclentists and other non-legal experts, the committee re- | ported. | “The committee thoroughly can- | vassed the question whether the proj- ect of the institute should be limited to a code of substantive criminal law or should go deeper and farther and cover the administrative features, such as the organization and functions of police agencies, prosecutors’ offices and courts and penal and correctional pro- visions. The committee has decided upon the latter alternative,” the report stated. This task., the institute was told, will go beyond the restatement of the law, which was begun several years ago. but will actually set up a specific eode of what the criminal law should | be. “A criminal code of the kind en- visaged by the committee cannot be | completed in two or three years,” the report eontinued. “Theoretically there is hardly any limit to the ramifica- tions of an enterprise of such magni- | trict of Columbia in the United Jew- | tude. It seems to the committee, however, that useful results of a pre- liminary exploratory nature could not | be obtained in less than two years: | and that it would be wise to plan for | & period of approximately 15 years, with the expectation that by the end | of such time the major portlons of | the code will be completed.” | Signers of Report. The report was signed by Justin | Miller, Assistant Attorney General, as | chairman, and the following members: Newton D. Baker, Sanford Bates, direc- | tor of Federal prisons; Joseph H.| Beale, Harvard Law School: Alfred | Bettman, Cincinnati; E. W. Burgess, | University of Chicago; Bernard Glueck, New York; Sheldon Glueck, Harvard | Law School: Leonard V. Harrison, New | York; Charles E. Hughes, jr., New | York; Raymond C.

FOODORUG BLL DELAY ASSALED Mrs. Harris T. Baldwin| Urges Passage Before Women Voters. Lack of consideration for the con- | sumers in debating the food and drug ©ill in the Senate was criticized be- | fore the National League of Women | Voters at their meeting at the Wash- | ington Hotel this morning by Mrs. | Harris T. Baldwin, first vice president | of the league. | Mrs. Baldwin said women through- | out the country are puzzled and in: dignant at the delay in passage of | this bill. She referred to the food and drug bill as the most important | legislatn in the interest of consum- ers now pending before the legislative body. | “Women voters are constantly be- ! ing shocked by authenticated reports of lives lost, sight impaired, or other serious injury suffered because of con- tinued sale of dangerous cosmetics,” | Mrs. Baldwin said. “We are con- | vinced we are spending many times | the sum we should have to, just be- cause we do not know the ingredients | of the product. We know that because | of false advertising, misleading direc- tions for use of drugs on the label or in advertising, that permanent injury, even death, may result for innocent users. Under such conditions women in constantly increasing numbers and with more and ,more impatience are asking, “Why the delay?" Miss Florence Kirlin, legislative sec- retary of the league, declared that the interest of the women in legislation is for the public interest, since the league neither contributes to war chests or expects any patronage plums. The general council of the league, which opened at the hotel Tuesday, will continue through noon tomorrow, all sessions to be executive. PATRIOTISM SPEECH WINS G. W.

Clarence Phelps Dodge, for the past year president of the Community Chest, was re-elected to that office at a meeting of the new board of trustees held yesterday at the United States Chamber of Commerce Building. Mrs. Charles A. Goldsmith, Gen. Frederick W. Coleman, Judge James A. Cobb, Robert V. Fleming and Frank J. Hogan were elected vice presidents and Mrs. Albert W. Atwood secretary. These names were submitted by the Nominating Committee, of which Dr. William McClellan is chairman. Elec- tions were unanimous, the secretary beinginstructed to cast a single bal- ¢ lot for the entire & group. At the same time the trustees elected as members of the Executive Com- mittee Mrs & Goldsmith, Mrs. John Jay O’Con- nor, Caesar L. Aiello, E. Joseph Aronoff, Col Henry O. Atwood, Marcy L. Sperry, Corcoran Thom, jr.; Lloyd B. Wil- son and J. Bernard Wyckoff. In accepting the presidency for an- other term Mr. Dodge expressed his thanks to the trustees for the honor‘ and promised his best efforts in the coming months to make the Com- munity Chest a continued success. He warned the trustees that the Com- munity Chest is no one-man job, but thatdt called for the support and best efforts of every Washingtonian if it is to continue to be a success. “Every official and every staff mem- ber of the Community Chest is de- lighted with the re-election of Mr. Dodge as president,” Herbert L. Wil- lett, jr., director, declared after the election. “His wide knowledge of so- cial work and his sympathetic under- standing of fronting the entire city make him in- valuable in this post, while his ability to give unlimited time to the task and f to spend at least a portion of every | day at Chest headquarters, where he is available for consultation and ad- vice, have been of the greatest benefit to the Chest. “Chest agencies, too, will welcome the re-election of Mr. Dodge, as he has spent considerable time in visiting the various affiliated organizations and has offered suggestions and advice that have been highly beneficial. I feel that the board of trustees have done a distinct favor to the City of ‘Washington in re-electing Mr. Dodge.” EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OFFICERS ELECTED Church of St. Stephen's Chosen as Next Meeting Place at Final Session.

A sea scout himself, he was a close friend of Scout Paul Siple, chosen by the admiral to make the trip, and periodically chronicled the activities of Siple for the boy's friends and rela- tives. When another Byrd expedition sailed away beyond “down under” in December, 1933, Horowitz decided to act as remote-control recorder of the whole expedition. Siple went along once more, this time as chief biologist. Special Covers. Another youth, Herbert R. Loges, 24, acted as Horowite's art editor. On special occasions, such as the coming of Spring, in September, to Little America, Loges drew cover illustra- tions for the paper. Most issues, how- ever, carried photographs on the cover. The first few pages were given to clip- pings of the Byrd expedition. Next section was devoted to the explora- tions of Ellsworth, who returned to this country in February. The paper carried editorials and a column of “Ch-ch-chatter.” Then came the broadcast recordings and some notes on matters of interest to followers of Antarctica. Horowitz's next move is to complete organization of the American Antarc- tic Society as brother-groups of the New Zealand Antarctic Society, the Antarctic Club in London and the Scott Polar Institute. POLICEMAN ACCUSED Northeast Residents Charge Hoff- man Brandished Pistol. Three colored residents of the first block of Fenton street northeast filed afdavits at police headquarters to- day charging Policeman John P. Hoffman, second precinct, created alarm in the neighborhood by dis- playing his pistol and otherwise in- timidating residents. Hoffman was off duty yesterday and the alleged offense occurred while he was in civilian clothes. Filing of formal charges against Hoffman are made mandatory by police regulations under the circum- stances and he will be taken before the Trial Board, unless the afidavits are withdrawn, § | five years ago. | Jackson’s Objection Overruled. ‘The art dealer’s testimony went in the record over objection of Robert | H. Jackson. general counsel of the | Internal Revenue Bureau, who is | seeking to convince the Board of Tax | Appeals that Mellon owes the Treas- |ury more than $3.000,000 in back | taxes. Mellon has countered with a | claim for a refund of $139,000 from | the Government. Jackson told the board Mellon had | admitted he had no definite plans for | an art gallery or for a gift of his paint- ings to the Nation. The collection | was turned over to the Mellon Char- | itable and Educational Trust, a trans- action whicn the Government insists | was done for purposes of income tax evasion. The Government counsel also strove | vainly to block testimony as to the | values of the Mellon collection. Lord | Duveen brought out that Mellon paid | approximately $4,000,000 for only six | of his huge assortment of pictures. In | this group is Raphael's famed “Alba Madonna,” for which Mellon paid $1,166,000 in 1930. The former cabi- net officer paid $836,350 for Raphael's “Cowper Madonna,” which Lord Du- veen said was “equally as fine but not s0 large and important as the Alba,” and $838,350 for Botticelli's “Adora- tion of the Magi.” Baron Grows Indignant. In cross-examination, the revenue attorney endeavored to show the value of paintings suffered by the depres- sion, supporting his argument with Lord Duveen's income tax returns, which showed a drop in business from $5,000,000 in 1930 to $752,000 in 1931. Addressing Jackson as “my good fellow,” the Baron reproached the at- torney for classing fine art with ordi- nary commodities “like pig iron or sheet copper,” which fall and rise in price according to economic condi- tions. Whether such “matchless” paint- ings as those owned by Mellon can be sold or not, Lord Duveen said, their value enhances with time. ‘The Government questioned the British peer about a $10,000 fine and a penalty of $1180,000 assessed against him in 1911 by a New York court when he and members of his firm pleaded guilty to conspiracy in a customs case. Lord Duveen argued that he was not fined for “smuggl- ing,” as Jackson contended, but as the result of “a dispute over valua- tions.” ‘The hearing will be resumed Mon- day. DOG MUZZLING MAY 15 Dogs will have to be muzzled 15 days earlier this year because so many persons were bitten last May. On recommendation of Health Officer Ruhland, the Commissioners have ad- vanced the from June 1 to May 18. The order applies to dogs not on leash. Reports show 117 persons were bit- ten by dogs last May. at the “open bar” provision but to other unrelated sections. ! Although the Ellenbogen, creating a special commission to fix and con- | trol rentals, is one of the 12 on the calendar, it will not be called up Mon- day. Ellenbogen has arranged to de- fer House consideration of this meas- ure until he reports to the full Dis- trict Committee the results of publie hearings which started today—two days after the bill was favorably re- ported. Two New Bridges. Among the remaining 12 bills are | two authorizing construction of two | new bridges and an underpass across New York avenue northeast in the area between Florida and West Vir- ginia avenues. One of these bridges would carry the tracks of the Penn- sylvania Railroad to sidings in a com- mercial area where new warehouses | are to be erected. The other bridge |and the underpass would be designed for pedestrian and vehicular traffic. One of the so-called minor bills to be considered Monday would provide a salary of $1,800 a year for Col. Wal- | lace M. Craigie, director of military | science and tactics in the Washington | high schools. This measure already | has passed the Senate and House ap- proval is anticipated. —e | FAMED BOOK SKETCHES DONATED TO LIBRARY | Gift of “Water Babies” Series Is Listed in Will of Miss @ Jessie Smith. | Donation to the Congressional Library of a set of 12 original illustrations by Jessie Wilcox Smith for Charles Kingsley's book, “Water Babies,” will be a valued addition to the art collec- tion of the institution, it was said there this morning.
