Bowdler, center, presi dent of the society, looks on. —Star Staff Photo. Society of Natives Honors Justice Laws For Service to D. C. Banquet Also Marks 20th Anniversary of Organization The presentation of a certificate to Justice Bolitha J. Laws of Dis trict Court as the native Wash ingtonian who rendered the “most outstanding” public and civic ser vice during 1939 and a program of musical selections and recitations marked the annual banquet last night of the Society of Natives of the District of Columbia, held in the Mayflower Hotel. The banquet was of double significance in that it was held also in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the founding of the society. William E. Richardson, a past president of the society and chair man of a special committee named to select the person to receive the award, which is given annually by the society, made the presen tation. He called attention to Justice Laws' career as a lawyer and justice and told how the jurist had been selected from among a num ber of prominent native Washing tonians for the honor. Justice Laws' selection had been unanimous ly approved at a previous meeting of the society. Services Cited. The framed certificate bore an engraved inscription which read in part: "This is to certify that by the unanimous vote of the members of this society, Bolitha J. Laws, a justice of the District Court of the United States for the District of Columbia, has been awarded this certificate of merit for the year 1939. This award is based upon his outstanding record as a jurist in the prompt and impartial ad ministration of justice, his able advocacy of the civil and political rights of the residents of the Dis trict of Columbia and his loyal service in the advancement of our social, charitable, religious and patriotic institutions.” Justice Laws in response declared that the recognition of his efforts, through the presentation of the certificate, would inspire him to “still greater efforts.” Then, in an address, he empha sized the important place the Dis trict holds in the Nation, declaring that a “citizen of the District is accepting a challenge from through out the country," in that programs and ideas developed here spread rapidly. Praises Pre-Trial Procedure. Justice Laws criticized lawyers who go to court improperly pre pared to present their cases, and judges and citizens who become lax in their efforts to help toward proper and speedy justice. Asserting that more attention is now being turned toward the courts than ever before, Justice Laws praised methods to “streamline” court procedure, told of the effec tiveness of the new rules of civil procedure and extolled the new method of pre-trial procedure adopted here for its aid in speeding up the handling of cases. Upon motion of Mr. Richardson, the society adopted a resolution to send a message to Justice Peyton Gordon of District Court express ing sympathy over his recent illness, and wishing him a speedy recovery.

Miss Jane Mrs. Gannett to Take Stump for Husband Mrs. Frank Gannett will take the stump for her publisher husband because she feels he has ‘'grand qualifications” for the presidency, the Associated Press reported today. Here between trains, Mrs. Gan nett made it clear she had good reasons for supporting her husband in his campaign for the Republican nomination. "He is the only candidate who has been to Europe within the last five years,” she pointed out. “His first trip was to study nations on the gold and silver standard. His second was to study dictatorships. “Secondly, he is the only man who has beaten Roosevelt. By leading popular opposition, he beat him three times—on the court packing bill, the spend-lending bill and the Government reorganization bill.” To clinch her argument, the dark haired mother of two children de clared: “He is a successful business man. He understands unions and is used to dealing with them.” Mrs. Gannett said she would start stump speaking in her home State, New York, on May 20 and will direct her flow of oratory to women’s county meetings. C. A. R. Is Voted Right To Armband Insignias Claiming they had won a victory over "adult domination” at the end of a two-year battle, youthful lead ers of the National Society, Chil dren of the American Revolution, yesterday obtained at their national convention the right to wear the official insignia of the society as a cloth armband, but not on sweaters. The action came at the close of the 45th Annual Convention of the C. A. R. in Memorial Continental Hall. Rescinding a motion adopted Saturday which would have allowed the insignia to be worn on sweaters, the convention adopted a resolu tion permitting the insignia, which includes the flag, to be worn as arm bands only on "suitable occa sions.” The resolution was on a motion by Carroll Glenn Appleman ol Bethlehem, Pa., junior State presi dent of the Pennsylvania C. A. R It was seconded by Jerome A. Lee jr„ who is Junior State vice presi dent of the District of Columbia C. A. R. Insisting that they had been put off last year in their efforts to get an insignia and resisting attempts yesterday to refer the matter to a committee, the youngsters, who are all under 21, succeeded in getting their proposal approved. The emblem with its flag will not be worn on sweaters as a result of advise from the United States Flag Association that this would be "inadvisable.” Ceylon shipped 54.400.000 pounds ; of rubber to the United States in a recent year.
