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. e New York County Lawyers Association and Statistics Show Advisers Are Overburdened (Editor's Note:rThe facts and figures used article are the results of a questionnairet Michigan high schools in May, 1939, by the gan Council of Journalism Advisers.

Vorberg -Christian Science Monitor gown own By STAN M. SWINTON 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.
