(Even an evil carbon-pape- r client or a friendly witness, you know.) Sophistication is the art of accepting the unexpected as if it were the "expected. Trial lawyers understand this for use in the courtroom but seem to leave it there, so that their secretaries cannot benefit from this "know-howPerhaps a spring cleaning of attitudes is in order, from the on down.

Is it a valid fear that this would dilute his effectiveness in protecting his clients? Or, is this only irrational fear and suspicion? Many clever businessmen have studied law after their initial business success. How many attorneys have studied business, wheeler-deale- r style, after their professional success?

G. Srlnath - NEW DELHI (UPI) Some Indian college students argue that their governments proposal to raise the minimum age for marriage in India from 18 to 21 for males and from 15 to 18 or females would lead to an increase in premarital sexual relations. Officials view the proposal as a birth control measure. They contend . that the later a girl marries, the fewer children she will bear. The idea is to bring down the national fertility rate. I guess the proposed law is said Neeta Grewal, 19, a good, student at Delhi University, "but with the barrier between the sexes coming down fast in India, the raising of the minimum age for marriage will only lead to premarital sex, which is considered Market Reforms Urged to lure Small Investor NEW YORK (UPD A group of businessmen, concerned with the lack qf individual investor participation in the stock market, have formed an organization to try to bring about changes in the securities markets and get the small investor interested again.

The sponsor of the Course is the Joint Committee on Continuing Legal Education of the American Law Institute and the American Bar Association. Recognizing that todays antitrust counselor must serve as business advisor as well as litigator, the Joint Committee has pulled together a faculty of eight lawyers and economists to prdvide a practical study of the economic discipline in relation to antitrust ALI-AB- A matters. The closing session will explore damage determinations, involving statistical and market analyses, business income projections, the price consequences of antitrust violations, and the passing on of illegal price increases. Registration fee for the course is $150, which includes admission to all sessions, a complete set of study materials, a reception on Thursday evening, May 3, and two luncheons.

Maclay, Assistant Director, Courses of Study, Joint Commitee on Continuing Legal Education, 4025 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa. 19104, telephone ALI-AB- A : the minimum age must be raised still fiirther." In rural India, most girls who marry are minors, some as young as 10. Many parents consider a girl a liability after she becomes 13 and try to marry her off at the first opportunity. The birth of a daughter in many homes is a matter of sorrow. Girls in some poor homes who are still unmarried by their late teens are considered a family curse, and parents treat them as a debt incurred at compound interest that must be cleared as soon as possible. In an attempt to stop child marriages, the Restraint Act" of 1929, under the British, set the minimum age for boys at 18 and for girls at 14. But the Act could not be effectively enforced because a third party was needed to lodge a complaint before the offenders could be prosecuted and few in die villages really cared. Moreover, because there was no regular system for registration of births, it was difficult to establish that the couples had married underage. The Hindu Code Bill of 1956 raised the minimum age for girls by another year, to 15, but the loopholes remained. Another difficulty was that only Hindus were covered by the law. The new law would be applicable to people of all religions. Violation of the 1956 law was punishable by 15 days in jail, a fine, or both, but so far not a single case has been prosecuted. Indian women, traditionally hqmebound, now are beginning to find jobs to augment family income. Officials believe this trend may postpone some marriages. The poor, both urban and rural, are likely to consider the new law an' economic blow. A street sweeper in New Delhi, mother of two daughters, said: The government and the rich can talk of late marriages, but the poor cannot afford to keep their daughters at home for too long. She said she gave both her daughters in marriage at the age of organization said current and proposed changes in commission rates, in the rules governing (215) membership on the stock exchanges, and in trading practices in elimination of income tax on the first : the securities market have played $1,000 of capital gains from 13. securities transactions. an important part in causing inthe leave dividual investors to Barring further reductions in fixed commission rates. market.

Hockey News Judge Refuses To Hold Up Gas Lead Law best-of-sev- NEW YORK (UPI) A federal judge has denied motions by five major oil companies to block' New York City from enforcing its law requiring the reduction of lead content in gasoline. Exxon, Getty, Gulf, Mobil and Sun Oil had argued the law should be stricken because it is preempted by federal regulations and because it imposes unreasonable burdens on interstate commerce. I cannot conclude, twice this week, Wednesday and Friday. A Denver sweep of those two would put them firmly in command of the series. The Golden Eagles, therefore, need at least one victory on Denver ice to recapture the theoretical home-ic- e advantage. Game 5 will be played Saturday, April 21 at the Salt Palace (8 pjn.) and season ticket holders may purchase their reserved seats in ths Golden Eagles offices now. All other tickets are now on sale at the Salt Palace box office. Goalie Ted Tucker will get the nod to start the games in Denver. Tucker matched heroics with the Spurs Bob Johnson in the overtime thriller last Friday. Judge Charles E. Stewart ruled, March 23, that this burden is likely to be dearly excessive in relation to the benefits that such regulations bestow upon the population of a high traffic area such as New York City." In refusing to issue a preliminary injunction against enforcement of the law, Stewart said until the federal government acts on the health standard the city of New York is free to enact and enforce its own regulations. en hr i i i 'i |
