The grip of the political organization on the Judiciary has grown tighter and tighter until today it is a serious question whether instead of an elective system, we have an unofficial system with the most appointive, political leader as the appointing power.

"It is common talk that the bench Is controlled by the political boss. Public criticism of our method of selecting judges in the State of New York reached a climax in the last election in the demonstration there made of the virtual appointment by political leaders of 12 persons to newly vacancies on the Supreme Court bench in the Second Judicial District of the New York State Supreme Court.

Young of Brooklyn. Fairy Tale Belief Hurts Government The Rev. E. M. Lawrence Gould, pastor of the Church of the Neighbor, Clark Street and Monroe Place, in yesterday morning's sermon declared that the trouble with public life in America was that adults believed in fairy tales.

He referred specifically to the belief that in some magic manner an elected official would be suddenly "transformed into a person willing and competent to guide our destinies," and said that to hold President Hoover responsible for present economic conditions "was about as intelligent as to imagine that the reason our crops do not grow is because some neighbor with an evil eye has bewitched them."

Pinchot Calls Hoover Relief Plan 'Vicious' Declares It Lets Fellows' Escape Burden of Aiding Jobless Washington, Jan. -The "Hoover Unemployment Relief Plan" was assailed as "vicious" by Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania today before the Senate Manufacturers Committee. The Republican Governor urged direct Federal aid for unemployment, a plan opposed by President Hoover.

He called the national voluntary relief, Plan program "the Hoover -GifHe said, raising his voice: "It takes money from the little fellow. It does not take it from the big fellow. "It is an attempt to get by without increasing taxes and letting the big fellows share the load." He said his State has more than one million unemployed. Called by Chairman La Follette to give his views on measures for Federal appropriations to aid the unemployed, the Governor detailed conditions Pennsylvania and efforts to meet them. He asked Federal help.

Best estimates, he said, list the jobless 27 to 30 percent or the employable. The tall, spare witness related his unsuccessful effort to put through a $120,000,000 relief plan in his Legislature, and blamed the "Republican machine" for the defeat. The $19,000,000 relief bills before Congress he described as "totally inadequate." Attacks Mellon Pinchot estimated Secretary MelIon has an annual $10,000,000 income, and said he understood that the Secretary of the Treasury had contributed $170,000 or less to voluntary relief funds. He himself. he said, gave a quarter of his income.

Just Senators La Follette and Costigan, Democrats, who are sponsoring Federal relief bills, were present to hear Pinchot. "Do you care to hazard an opinion." asked La Foilette, "as to what will happen in the congested centers if there is not help?" "I think there will be trouble," was the reply. "This talk of a dole," he said, "is a cry to scare children." Meanwhile, Representative LaGuardia today sponsored a relief program which he suid would enter felds where there was no question of the Government's power. One of the New Yorker's proposals is to close postomces on Saturday as well as Sunday. Another would close Federal Reserve and national banks and all Government departments on Saturday and Sunday.

LaGuardia also would authorize $50.000,000 to provide rations for 300.000 reedy miners in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana for one year.

4 of the old days of the "bad" search for the desperate Young ficers in a farm yard massacre, of Missouri far into Texas. The abandonment of a wrecked automobile by two men near Streetman, Texas, was considered by District Attorney Dan Nee as a valuable clue to the ever -spreading search. Nee said discriptions of the two motorists "tallied closely" with those of two of the suspects. Shotgun in Car Within the car was a ride and shotgun similar to weapons the slayers took from the body of Sheritt Marcell Hendrix after he had fallen dead at their door from a shotgun charge late Saturday. Harry Young, 27-year-old leader of the desperadoes, and his brother, Jennings, 29, were declared recently spent much time in Houston, Texas.

Not Licked Yet, Vause Asserts Continued from Page 1 matical. It is the usual custom to wait until there are prisoners to fill a Pullman coach and then them in a body to the Atlanta Prison. send, Seventeen months have elapsed since Vause, with five others, was found guilty of mail fraud in connection with the wrecking of the Columbia Finance Corporation. This time has been spent in losing many appeals, the last of which came the day before Christmas, when he was allowed ten days to wind up his affairs. While Vause gave a tentative promise that he would seek no further legal delay if granted this tenday stay, it was thought likely he will spring some new legal maneuver immediately after the doors of the detention prison have closed on him.

His counsel and Vause refused to discuss this possibility. Because of the fact that Atlanta Penitentiary is quarantined on account of an outbreak of meningitis and other contagious diseases, Vause and Schuchman will, after their surrender, be held In the FedHouse of Detention with a few prisoners now under sentence for instructions from Attorney eral Mitchell. The Attorney General is expected to direct United States Marshal Mulligan within a week or two as to where Vause and the other prisoners are to be taken. Possibly destinations McNeil's Island, Washington; Leavenworth, a prison camp in Virginia, a prison camp in West Virginia and the Federal Reformatory at Chillicothe, Ohio. Under Federal law the Attorney General may designate the Reformatory, if he desires, should conditions prevent the execution of a sentence in the institution named by the Court.
