ASK HOMES FOR ARMS WORKERS

FHA Urges Private Capital to Build.

Times Special WASHINGTON, Dec. 26. —Field offices of the FHA have been urged

to use every effort to induce private capital to supply more rental housing for defense workers, by Abner

H. Ferguson, Federal Housing Ad-

ministrator. Mr. Ferguson said that private enterprise is performing a creditable job in providing defense housing for sale, but that it is becoming increasingly apparent that many defense workers desire to rent rather than to purchase.

CURBS SOUGHT :

ON “INFLUENCE

District of Columbia Bar Moves to Tighten Up On Practice.

By THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.—Leaders of the District of Columbia bar have become aroused over the socalled “influence practice” in defense contracts, currently being aired by congressional committees. As a result, an effort will he made to curb this widespread abuse to

protect the public, businessmen, and members of the legal profession here, upon whom an

unwarranted reflection is cast

by the operatigns of the “influence” crew,

Many of those in the “influence

practice” are not even lawyers. Many lawyers practicing before Mr. Stokes Government agencies have never been admitted to practice in Wash«

| ington. These run into hundreds,

In the latter category is Thomas G. Corcoran, who, though making much of his legal capacities in his defense before the Truman Come mittee, has never taken the (rouble to have himself admitted to practice here. Bar Group to Act

The campaign to eradicate the “influence” abuse will come to a head at the meeting next month of the District of Columbia Bar Association, when an advisory come mittee of nine, headed by Kenneth N. Parkinson, will recommend that

| Lord, 23, ending a six-month the-|the association again seek enact-

ment of a measure which passed the Senate several years ago but lost in the House. This bill, then presented by Mr, Parkinson as chairman of the local Bar Association's committee on une authorized practice, would prohibit the use of the expressions “attorney,” “attorney at law,” “lawyer,” “counsellor at law,” etc, unless those who use it are in fact mems= bers of the bar of the District of Columbia and subject to its discie pline. The bill also would meet the prob= lem raised by the vague group vari=ously labeled “experts,” ‘‘counsel= lors,” “consultants,” etc., by requiring that they state on their stationery and in advertising their true status. ‘Soft Spot’ Explained

One Government department, the Treasury, now makes admission to the District of Columbia bar, through the U. S. District Court, a prerequisite to practice before the Treasury. But no other department has such a requirement. The Treasury’s regulation was imposed in 1936. It was discovered there were thousands then practicing before it who had not been admitted to the local bar. Discussing the situation in Washington, Mr. Parkinson said in a recent address that “there is thus created a haven of refuge within this district, a soft spot, where those who are so inclined may, through the absence of statutory restriction, carry on the practice of law by actually handling legal problems, when they are not lawyers in fact, or if in fact, not members of the bar in this district. “As the result, you have lob-

The U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, which assembles data on labor resources and studies the utiliza{tion of labor throughout the country; Would Use WPA

The U. S. Office of Education, which is responsible for the operation of vocational training courses throughout the country, and The NYA and the CCC, plus that portion of WPA which trains workers for defense-industry jobs. Combining and co-ordinating the duties of all these bureaus and offices would produce, according to one advocate of the plan, a single agency responsible for all registrations for military or other national service and jobs in defense industries. This agency would be responsi ble for determining deferment of draft registrants from military serve ice. It would be responsible for use in defense industries of those deferred, giving training where neces-+

It would also be responsible for recruiting industrial workers, for establishing labor priorities of defense industries, and for developing machinery for directing the necessary labor survey to those industries.

instances real experts, who have gained certain experience withing the confines of Government of the United States and have retired from its services, and under the guise of being attorneys-at-law or lawyers when in fact they are not. “In other words, you have the gates wide open for every form of chiseler and racketeer to seek to mislead or misguide you and others beyond the confines of the District of Columbia, into the belief that as a lawyer he possesses certain experience of value to you, or has certain contacts of influence which ne can make available to you.” As for lawyers not admitted to practice here, but practicing here as hundreds are doing, he said that “if they should violate the ethics of their profession, it is doubtful if they could be disbarred locally because they are not members of the local bar, and it is doubtful if / they could be disbarred by a court; in their home districts because t}e grievance did not take place’ in their home jurisdiction.”
