Dear Three P’s:
There is a 'side issue to the
mess of fraud on TV Quiz shows
and that is the situation of those
who not only lied but made false;
statements before the New York;
Grand Jury. This is becoming
a national pastime, as the same
thing is done before the various
Congressional Investigating Com-i
mittees, and, with sharp lawyers]
by their side, these witnesses,
get away with it. It is a won
derful standard to hold up to
the youth of the country in the
Ijmd of liberty and justice for
all. Do you have anything to
say about this phase of the prob-.
lem.
—Alonzo B. D. j
Dear Alonzo:
You have touched upon a very
ticklish spot of our public life
and, perhaps, the moral issue as
to ihe witnesses before the New
York Grand Jury perjurying
themselves and presumably mak
ing false statements is higher
than the fact that a fraud was
perpetrated on the public in
these so-called quiz shows and
other forms of advertising. The
result is that the general public
is losing respect for law and
the administration of the law,
and this phase of justice, no
doubt, has its effect uoon the
mind of the young for, as the
saying goes, “'if they can get:
away with it, why can't I".
There are three phases of this
situation which are indeed seri
uos, and they are as follows::
(1) The witnesses were advised j
to testify that they did not par-j
ticipate in any rigging of the]
shows; (2) That in the conduct
of the shows all was purity and
light; (3) The witnesses accept-,
ed this advice from their adv.ia-;
ors and actually lied in other;
phases of the inquiry before!
what has always been considered;
an august body and arm of the
administration of the law, seek
ing the truthful facts in any
given inquiry, and that body is
the Grand Jury
One cause of all this mess
is the wav the functions of life
are organized without much su
pervision or say bv the general i
public. One of these organiza-'
tions is the Bar Association, for. ]
if as reported, lawyers actually
advised witnesses to testify as
they did. then the Bar Associa
tion is on trial as well as the.
witnesses. Members of the Bar j
and the Courts make all of the !
rules of court without any say
by the public. When a man:
becomes a member of the Bar he
becomes an officer of the court;
and swears to uphold the dig- i
nity of the law and have re- '

•| sped for the courts of the land.
|The Bar tries aii lawyers for
i presumed mis-conduct. In this
I procedure lies one of the weak
nesses, for lawyers are loathe to
bring any charges against any
, other members of the profession.
Such charges, when brought, are
!| usually heard before an ethics
committee of the Bar. Other
than a slight admonishment, most
accused go scot free; those who
may be dis-barred go out the
front door, as the saying goes,
and in a very short time they
are again admitted before the
court to practice, by means of
the back door. The lawyers
should investigate themselves be
fore a panel made up from the
general public and not mem-
: bers of the Bar Association. It
was interesting to note the re
cent reported squabbles between
two judges of the higher courts
!in Brooklyn, N. Y. In this re
ported instance, two presumably
eminent judges hurled insults at
each other in public as to the
administration of cases before
their courts. So in this TV
scandal lawyers are also on trial.
One of the interesting phases of
this situation may well be the
' question as to what is going to
be done to the lawyers who may
have advised their clients as
they presumably did. They are
the culprits who are breaking
down the respect for law and
they are more guilty than the
witnesses before the Grand Jury.
The moral issues involved are,
much greater than the question I
as to Whether or not the wit-1
nesses received help on the quiz,
shows. The great issue is “Can I
lawyers ahd witnesses flout the,
law, make an ass of the Judge |
and the Grand Jury before,
which the inquiry was held and |
get away with it. Our form of j
courts and jurors are on trial j
as well as the perjurers and]
their advisers. It will be inter-j
esting to see what develops and j
what the District Attorney of!
New York is g~ing to do about
it.

other the most. I do not teiow
how we got into this situation
other than my husband some
time back became irritable and
started criticizing everything I
did. Os course, I answered back
and now it is a war of nerves.
I am tired of it and what can
I do?
—Unhappy.
Dear Unhapp.v:
First we might assume that
.there was and is some reason
for your husband’s tensions and
irritations which causes him to
find an outlet and, you being
the nearest and closest to him,
he takes it out on you. Under
neath there is something that
is worrying your husband and
he is unable to solve his prob
lem by himself. You might try
this routine. Instead of answer
ing him back and becoming irri
tated yourself, agree with him
that things might not be as they
should, even though they are,
and ask his help. This will put
him on the defensive. Then you
might gradually ask his help,
and then you might suggest that
you would like to help him as
he has helped you. This should
bring about a more friendly at
mosphere and he might let down
his hair to you and relieve him
self of the things that are worry
ing him. Try it out and let me
hear from you again.

make a church effective even
when the minister is a man of
modest ability. And the pastor
will be completely unable to do
his work successfully if he does
not have dedicated and reason
ably able co-workers.
Great gains come to churches
which succeed in sharing their
leadership among all the capa
ble people in the congregation.
For one thing, each member with
an assignment feels much more
a part of the fellowship. Another
gain comes in new and fresh
ideas. Still another gain results
from the enlisting of people with
