SELDOM DOES the average man-on-
the-street realize the need and
lue of legal advice. He usually thinks of a
.wyer as a trusted servant of a wealthy family,
- as a glib-tongued mouthpiece for a notorious
ijminal.
It is usually not until an obscure clause in
hastily-signed contract is misunderstood or
verlooked, or until unfortunate contacts with
iyster car dealers, crooked insurance grafters
. the like cross his path, that his need is brough
ome to him. When it is, he may be cheated of
undreds of dollars because he doesn't think he
m afford a lawyer. And, because of pride, he
ill seldoni take the pauper's oath to get free
Scounsel.
To remedy this situation, William Weiss, pro-
tinent New York corporation lawyer, has set
p a legal clinic to aid the average man. As the
edical clinics give medical advice to take care
one's body, so the legal clinic will take care of
me's rights. It all began when Mr. Weiss was
ricken ill, recovering to find himself confined
a wheel chair. Unable to continue his legal,
ractice, he hit upon the idea of the legal clinic.
or a small fee-ranging from one to ten dollars
epending upon the amount of time needed to
iry through a case-he answers questions per-
,ining to legal difficulties, helps his clients to
oroughly understand legal questions and in
any ways has served as an indispensable aid.
specially in contracts does he prove invaluable.
ost people sign agreements without reading
em thoroughly, he claims. As he says:
The human race is afflicted with some sort
of astigmatism which makes it impossible for
them to read small type, especially when it
appears in legal contracts. Most people sign
anything when it is "explained" to them by
an agent; a few cautious ones glance through
a couple of clauses; but not one in one hun-
dred reads the small type which contains the
jokers, if there are any.
However, if there were legal clinics throughout
e country people would learn to consult lawyers
fore they sign anything.
Mr. Weiss' clinic at first was slow in starting.
gal ethics forbade him from advertising. But
good news travels fast, he soon worked up a
ge clientele. Now, not only has he clients from
w York but many consult him by mail also.
Dr. Karl N. Llewellyn, professor of Columbia
w School, aided Mr. Weiss in working out his
an for the legal clinic. Dr. Llewellyn, now chair-
,n" of the committee on legal clinics of the
rierican Bar Association, sees for the neam
ture the establishment of legal clinics in at
st two or three large cities in the next year
two. He plans that each clinic should be under
e supervision of the local bar associations and
arts. The staff would consist of two or three
1-salaried lawyers with 15 to 20 high ranking
iduates of leading law schools. The latter
uld receive $2,400 to $3,000 a year on two
ar contracts which would be unrenewable to
>wide a turnover. With proper advertising, Dr.
wellyn feels that such a clinic would become
f-supporting in a year,
he majority of cases, in the opinion of Dr.
Lwellyn, would be like those coming before free
al services today. They would include disputes
r small sums, drawing wills for small estates,
>laining contracts and protecting rights in
all transactions.
['hus far many committees of bar groups
ve declared their approval of such legal clinics.

Imagine an airplane which carries
two eight-and-one-half feet anti-
aircraft cannons, four machine guns,
possesses a tremendous cruising
rangessand is called byuArmy men
"the tiger of the sky"-and you'll
be visualizing the handiwork of Rob-
ert J. Woods, who, a decade after
his graduation from Michigan, has
produced the most fered aerial
weapon in the world.
Woods began work on the plane
after a 20-word Army Department
communique announced a new ship
was needed for sustained attack on
hostile aircraft. The ship, Army-
men declared, must be fast enough
to overcome enemy bombers and yet
be capable of staying in the air for
long periods of time.
Carefully the University graduate
began his task. He interviewed more
than a score of Army men on what
they thought such a plane should be
like. A staff of 45 engineers, drafts
men and designers began to present
their ideas to him until 50,000 parts
were planned and 3,000 drawings
made. Five hundred specialists criti-
cized the result, suggesting various
improvements which were made.
The results were remarkable. The
ship had everything. Its armament
went all the way from cannon to
time-bombs which explode like anti-
aircraft shells when dropped near
hostile aircraft, Woods had the pro-
pellors behind, reverting to the out-
moded "pusher" type of plane, some-
thing which other experts hadn't
thought of and which allowed extra
armament.
Today, inventor of one of the most
vicious weapons which has come
from the mind of man, he is only 34.
Of. his work, he says "I merely col-
lected opinions and consolidated
them" and then gets back on the job
at the Bell Aircraft Corp. in Buffalo,
where he is chief engineer.
You should have seen this colum-
nist's face when he found out Kres-
ge's IS an advertiser. And you should
have seen the business managers
face, too, when he read yesterday's
column. We probably won't even
dare go into what's always been one
of our favorite eating places any-
more.
It has always seemed to us that
a wise producer starts off a season
with his best show. The 1939 Dra-
matic Season didn't-it presented a
minor mistake known as "No War In
Troy!" And the Repertory Players
didn't either. "Michael and Mary"
wasn't a bad play but it was talky,
lacking in the dynamic qualities
which can make an evening in the
theatre an emotional experience.
Milne is witty, no denying that. But
he is far from exciting. Add this
to amateur acting and the result is
unsavory. In past years we've seen
some tremendously exciting work
done by the Play Production and
Repertory groups. That's why we
bother to criticize mediocrity. Per-
haps it was that some of the cast
seemed unable to understand their
roles. Nancy Schaeffer, who's usually
excellent, played Bromo as if she
needed one. Karl Klauser, fine at the
end, wasn't so fine in the first act.
However, June Madison did a real-
istic Mrs. Tullivant, Robert Cun-
ningham was good as P. C. Cuff and
several others did well. But it was-
n't as good as the-Rep can-and we
sincerely hope-will be.
