Honor Justices Robb
And Van Orsdel
Hogan, E. H. Jackson
Speak in Ceremonies
At Appeals Court
The late Associate Justices Charles
H. Robb and Joslah A. Van Orsdel
were paid tributes by bench and bar
yesterday in a special memorial serv
ice at the United States Court of
Appeals.
District Court sessions were sus
pended. Families of the late jurists
attended the ceremony, under the
auspices of the Bar Association of
the District and the court. For
mer Assistant United States At
torney Roger Robb, son of the
late Jurist, occupied a front seat.
Former Chief Justice George E.
Martin of the appellate tribunal
also participated. Chief Justice D.
Lawrence Groner of the United
States Court of Appeals, took a
prominent part.
Representing the American Bar
Association, of which he was re
cently president, Attorney Frank J.
Hogan praised Justice Van Orsdel.
Qualities Praised Highly.
"To hold the scales of justice
evenly balanced in every case; to
patiently hear and courteously help
the advocates at the bar; to con
sider carefuly and decide impartial
ly each case on its merits; these were
ever his endeavors,” Mr. Hogan laid.
“An exceedingly friendly man, given
to deep rooted affections, neither
friendships nor affections entered
into his functions as a judge. The
high station of the humble position,
the power or the feebleness of liti
gants, played no part in cases before
him. The Government with all its
power, as a frequent litigant in this
court, stood in precisely the same
place as the citizen asserting a claim
against that Government or de
fending charges brought by its pros
ecuting officials. In no other court
of the Federal judiciary, not even
in the 8upreme Court itself, is it so
necessary, as it is here, for the bar
to invoke the court to follow that
rule. Justice Van Orsdel never for
got it or ignored it.
E. Hilton Jackson, chairman of
the Memorial Committee of the
District of Columbia Bar Associa
tion, said of Associate Justice Robb:
“We accept the truism of a former
President of the United States that
a public office is a public trust. It
is not too much to say of Justice
Robb that the judicial function con
stituted in his mind, in a very real
sense, a sacred trust, and demanded
his all.
Lacked Privileges of Wealth.
"Justice Robb spent his early years
on a farm near Brattleboro, Vt.,
and performed his part of the chores
of a country boy. In the decades
following the Civil War, he came to
man’s estate without any of the
privileges that attach themselves to
social preeminence or entrenched
wealth. He did not know the ad
yantagea of a law school cumcctlumN
obtained his legal training in a law
office, teaching school in the mean
while to maintain himself.
‘‘Thus briefly reviewing his life, we
indulge the hope that the oppor
tunity that was his and the success
ful use he made of it, will be the
continued heritage of youth, • •
Joining in paying tribute to Justice
Van Orsdel was Theodore A. Hostet
ler, representing the Federal bar,
while Arlon V. Cushman of the
patent bar spoke in honor of Justice
Robb.
Mr. Hostetler, formerly solicitor
of the Patent Office in paying trib
ute to Justice Van Orsdel’s knowl
edge of patent and trademark law,
declared the Federal Bar Associa
tion owes him a debt of gratitude
for the pioneer work in connection
with new bureaus and commissions
created during his 30 years on the
appeals bench.
Mr. Cushman praised Justice
Robb's handling of cases from the
patent office.

Soldiers Like
Rations Served
At War Games
Br the Associated Press.
CAMP BEAUREGARD, La., May
21.—Soldiers of the ranks declared
today that the United States Amy’s
new emergency rations “have got
gold fish (sardines) and hard-tack
beat 1,000 per cent.”
Such praise was heard as the
3d Army, now engaged in the coun
try’s largest maneuvers, went on a
test of the new rations—two cans
of beef stew, one can of beef and
beans, three cans of a palatable
cracker and coffee.
Pvt. Doug Worthed of the 36th
Field Artillery recalled the old-time
hard-tack (a kind of hard biscuit):
“It was so tough you'couldn’t even
make a dent in it,” he said. “If you
soaked it in your coffee, the coffee
was cold and dead before you could
more than get the outer wedge of
the hard-tack loose.”
A day's supply of the new banned
articles weighs 61 ounces. A 1^4-ton
truck can haul a day’s ration supply,
for an infantry regiment.
K
German General's
Visit to U. S. Army
Posts Recalled
Officer at War Games
Tells of Search for
Ideas 3 Years -Ago
By the Associated Press.
CAMP BEAUREGARD, La., May
21.—The general reported to be
helping shape the German mechan
ised attack in Prance and Belgium
may have gained many of his ideas
on a visit to Army posts in the
United States three years ago.
A high Army official, helping di
rect war-game maneuvers here, said
the German, Gen von Schell,
visited all infantry and cavalry
schools and various poets, Including
Port Knox, Ky., and Port Ben
ning, Ga.
"The general, who was then a
colonel on Hitler’s general staff,
came over here in search of ideas
and went back home and put them
into execution," the American of
ficer, who would not permit use of
his name, said.
Troops Continue Tests.
The German commander, while
making his tour and study in this
country, said at that time, the
American officer related, that it
would be "about three years before
Germany would be organized and
fortified for any emergency.”
Meanwhile, the 70,000 troops en
gaged in the present maneuvers con
tinued tests of various forms of at
tack and defense, revolving pri
marily around the problems of ma
neuverability of mechanised forces.
Theoretically, a red army has
crossed the Sabine River from Texas
and is facing a blue army moving
westward in Louisiana to halt the
invasion.
Equipment Impresses Lodge.
Senator Lodge, Republican, .of
Massachusetts said after an all-day
tour of the area yesterday that he
was particularly Impressed by the
equipment in use.
Senator Lodge, a captain in the
Cavalry Reserve, took a ride in one
of the new medlum-dzed, “racing
fortress” tanks.
Senator Lodge and Senator Hol
man, Republican, of Oregon flew
here Sunday from Washington to
make a study and survey in connec
tion with the Nation’s rearmaments
program. They are scheduled to re
turn to Washington tomorrow.
Diesel engines are to be used on

Barton Says None Caras
What Congress Is Doing
Sr the Associated Pm*.
NEW YORK, May 81.—Repre
sentative Barton, Republican, of
New York says nobody cares what
Congress Is doing and that “mall
has dropped 5 to 10 per cent of Its
rormer volume.”
“All the mall we get now is from
people who went ua to get Into war
or to keep out of war," he told the
Brodklyn Chamber of Commerce
yesterday.
Representing himself as a “disil
lusioned man,” Mr. Barton expressed
belief the dictatorship had "man
aged to inspire in their people a
burning conviction that life is disci
pline, life is sacrifice, life is service
to an ideal,” even though the ideal
Itself is “false and murderous.”
"Over here we have been encour
aged to thing that life is a picnic
at the public expense. We bear
much of the opportunities and rights
of citizens, but little or nothing of
the duties."
