N. y. - A group of prominent black members of the legal profession, including eight judges, a law professor, two lawyers and a criminal court administrator have been invited to the Peofrie’s Repub lic of China in order lo study and observe court procedures and other aspects of their legal system. A total of seventeen persons, organized for the trip by Judge George W. Crockett, Jr., of Detroit’s Recorders Court will leave August 4th for the one month visit which will include 18 days in six mainland China cities. Judge Crockett slated that the overall aim of the tour was "to obtain a better under standing of the unique and highly effective system of dispensing justice in China. We hope lo visit actual trial procedures and to talk with jurists at every level of their court system. We hope also to be able to gain a better understanding of their treat ment of prisoners and their re-education and rehabilitation programs."

C. - The District of Columbia criminal justice system has been sharp ly criticized as one that often fails to dispense simple justice lo its criminal defendants who are "lost in a bureaucratic- shuffle in the nation’s capital." That was the blunt assess ment by a new study, entitled "Enmeshed," that was recent ly released by the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC). "How much is my bond? Do I have a lawyer? Why am I being held? What is my lawyer's name?" were some of the questions asked by defendants in the 100 page study.

The Veterans Administration is launching a renewed effort to advise World War II veterans of the high, and increasing cost of holding G1 term life insurance instead of convert ing it to one of the so-called "permanent" plans. In announcing a new Nation al Service Life Insurance information booklet. Regional VA Director H. W. Johnson said, "We are greatlv concern ed that large numbers of World War II veterans have not yet (See VETERANS, P 2) At the Polk Youth Center just west of Raleigh, on Interstate 40, Moore wilt be working with about 500 young men between the ages of 17 and 22. He said he approaches his work with the belief that "each person has within himself a spark of God" which he as chaplain attempts lo reach. "I try to meet him and be open and hope he will do the same," Moore said. Moore noted, however, that he does not see his miniatry as a highly evangelistic one. "It is social more than evangelistic. It is a prophetic and priestly ministry.” he noted. Explaining the terms, the chaplain said that in his priestly function, he attempts to help mend the lives of the young inmates. And in his prophetic function, he attempts to "call a person to deal with himself" and his particular situation in a positive fashion. Speaking specifically about what he has found at Polk Youth Center during the short time he has been there, Moore said, "One thing I am finding at Polk is that very few know enough about the Bible for me to believe that they ever went to church before." Since Moore is the first full-time chaplain for the center, the and his superiors are still in the process of drawing up his job description. But he envisions a Bible class and choir in the near future. He also anticipates considerable "personal religious counsel ing." He will also coordinate the 17 other volunteer minis tries at the center where about 80 percent of the inmates are black. Moore’s ministry is broader than service to young pMple who are already in prison, though he has no interest in serving in a regular church parish. "This is it. I have no interest in the pastorate at this time," he said. But because of his prison interest, he will travel to churches in the state in an effort to gain support for the center's religious program. He will also attempt to develop some means of reaching some young people before they become involved in trouble with the prison system.” "I have a strong interest in prevention," he said. that police have a juvenile suspect and are proceeding with the investigation. "We are treating it as an actual rape " he.said. He said several people were in the area at the time ot the alleged incident.
