TRIBUTHS PAID JDGE TEREL Law School’s Founder Is! Lauded at Dedication of New Home. Distinguished leaders in the field of Jaw and members of the faculty and student body of the Robert H. Terrell Law School paid high tribute last night to the man in whose honor the institution was named—the late Rob- | ert H. Terrell, first colored judge of | the Municipal Court. | The occasion was the dedication of | the- school’s new home, at 1922 Thir- teenth street. Since its establishment in 1931 the school has been conducted | most of the time at the Twelfth Street Branch of the Y. M. C. A. The new site—its first real home—was acquired by the school just recently. Justice Booth Speaks. Chief Justice Fenton J. Booth of | the United States Court of Claims told | the gathering the highest tribute that could be paid Judge Terrell lies in the fact that, while occupying a high ju- dicial position, he survived changing | political administrations and always enjoyed the full support of the legal profession. Addressing some of his remarks | directly to young students in the gathering, Justice Booth declared the legal profession now holds greater opportunities for young lawyers than ever before because of the rapid changes in our folitical, social and | economic systems. He set forth the | following as the requirements for a | first-class lawyer—intelligence, per- sonality and character. Widow Tells of Life. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, widow of Judge Terrell, spoke of his life as *one which inspired great confidence in his pupils” His great love was his teaching, whether it was from the bench, in the class room or in the | home, she said. Mrs. Terrell presented the school with a portrait of Judge Terrell. It was accepted by President L. M. Her- shaw. | Dean George A. Parker, in response to Justice Booth's address, described the efforts of the founders in the in- | stitution's early history. | The school now has an enrollment of more than 70 students, about 35 of whom entered this year., Ten students will complete the four-year course this year, he said. Other Speakers. Other speakers were Thurman L. Dodson, president of the Washington Bar Association: J. H. K. Renfro of the class of 1937, Robert Van, owner and editor of the Pittsburgh Courier; former Judge James A. Cobb of the Municipal Court and Judge Armond W. Scott, who succeeded Judge Cobd on the Municipal Court bench and who is also the presiding judge in| charge of the school’s practice court. President Mordecal Johnson of How- ard University was present as a guest. | Prof. Emory B. Smith presided. Youyis R. Mehlinger, an attorney in, the Justice Department and professor | in the school, presented Justice Booth. Portuguese Opened Ethiopia. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

FOUNTAIN RooM, ADJOINING THE DOWN STAIRS STORE, ”~ NAVY DRIVERS WIN SAFETY AWARDS Officials Praise ‘“Real Con- tribution to Auto Oper- ation” Made By Group. A real contribution to safe automo- bile driving has been made by the chauffeurs at the Washington Navy Yard, officials sald today, under di- 1ection of Lieut. Walter R. Jones, safety engineer, who also commands the presidential yacht, Sequoia. The Navy Department today announced safety awards recently given at the local yard as part of a Nation-wide Navy safety campaign in progress since 1933, Before this campaign began there was an average of three or four acci- dents a month. But because of the drive, this has been reduced to five automobile accidents for chauffeurs in the entire naval service last year. This includes only official cars. Most of the Washington Navy Yard chauf- feurs, Navy officials declared, have second year safety badges, showing a high degree of care in driving. Campaign Going On. The automobile safety feature is but one phase of a campaign contin- ually going on in the Navy at the various shore establishments to re- duce the hazard of accidents from | machinery and other causes. It is directed by William P. Biggs, safety engineer at the Navy Department. Biggs declared today that during 1933 the Navy Department inaugur- | ated a safe driving contest among the civilian chauffeurs at the various Navy yards and stations. Any acci- dent in which a driver was involved, | SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1935. regardless of who was to blame, is | charged against the Navy driver, Mr. Biggs said. “The only exception to this rule s when his car is properly parked and is damaged,” sald Biggs. “At the end of the year those who have had no accidents are given a safe driving card and badge. There are 450 such chauffeurs employed throughout the United States, Honolulu and Cavite, P. I. These men drive an average of 7,000 miles each. Number of Awards. “For 1933 there were 300 such awards and for 1934 201 second year awards and 83 first year, 13 chauffeurs having dropped out by reaspn of having had an accident by reason of the requirement that 6,000 miles must be driven to be eligible.” Officials asserted that at the local yard there were about 49 safety awards granted, and altogether there are about 64 chauffeurs employed there. Under the exacting require- ments, all could not qualify. The National Safety Council, Inc., of Chicago, issues the badges and cards to Navy drivers. Each card has & number, together with the date and this legend: “This is to certify that (space for driver'’s name) has operated a com- mercial vehicle for (name of organi- zation) throughout (number) year without an accident (total) miles operated. ‘The National Safety Council’s ‘no accident driver award’ is given in recognition of this ac- compiishment.” ‘The commandant of the Navy Yard involved and an official of the Na- tional Safety Council each affix his name to the card. The badge bears the name of the National Safety Council, with the slogan the words “no accident driver,” and the number of years which the award represents appearing on the shield.
