“Justice For All?" starts with
the premise that equal justice

legal representation in the form
of a lawyer, but for most of

virtually nonexistent. The major
portion of the program will con
centrate on three areas in the
country which are representa

migrant poor All three groups
have legal problems di.‘‘ ! nct

share the common disadvanta

law

illustrate the urban poor. An
interview with Tom Gray, a
lawyer who operates the Near
Westside Neighborho"d Legal
Services office for the poor, will
show a cross-section of the typi
cal problems that 4 confrort his

daily shooting hours on the Lake
and surrounding areas.
The 1967 General Assembly au
thorized the Wildlife Resources
Commission to shorten Matta
muskeet area shrcling days
provided a written recommenda
tion was received from the Fed
eral Director responsible for
waterfowl management.
Any decision resulting from
the hearing will be announced by
the C-mmiss’on in advance of
the opening of the goose season
on November 6. One apparent
reason for reduced shooting time
is to reduce the kill of a declin
ing waterfowl population in the
Mattamuskeet area, and one
proposal would cut off shooting
at 4:00 p. m. daily.
