The self addressed question, "How would I react to such and such a situation?" if an answer is forthcoming, results in characterization. I feel that unemployment relief would be arrived at more quickly if every man and woman reading the appeals of the Brooklyn Unemployment Emergency Committee would stop to ask, "How would I react?" Everyone who has a job, an income, warmth, food, shelter, a certain amount of security, should pause, if only briefly, to consider how he or she would feel if placed in the situation of the unemployed millions, who, willing to work, are unable to do so.

Wolfman, examined more than 20 times by Kresel and his aides, has given them a detailed picture of how several of the magistrates' courts in Manhattan and the Bronx were operated.

Kresel refused to say against what magistrate his next steps will be a taken. Kresel, Hiram C. Todd and Mulrooney all joined in emphatic denials of reports, printed in some of the newspapers, that with the end of the year all inquiries will be allowed a more or less natural death. Mulrooney said every one of detectives now under charges will be tried and that new cases will be taken up as they appear. Todd talked with Attorney General-elect Bennett and, while he made no statement, inferred that he would conduct the trial against George F.

and Bertha Ewald Jan. 5. Must Produce Records Kresel sent out his blanket subpena to brokerage houses yesterday and today. He named 120 members of the various vice squads in the Police Department, and his subpena ordered the brokerage houses to produce the accounts which any of these men or their wives carried on the books during the last four years. This move, however, was only the first step in Kresel's attempt to discover if any of the policemen have been grafting.

Those found to have had accounts will' be called to Kresel's offices in the Supreme Court and there be given a chance explain them. They also will have to explain the accounts to their own commanding officers.

He was one of many who call at the committee's headquarters daily and who are re-routed to the four charitable agencies that are co-operating.

Then he lost that job and for. four months there has been nothing with which to feed his wife, his four children and himself, except the $14 compensation he gets every two weeks. He said he would take any kind of job 80 long he could earn money to take some food home.

"But suppose they haven't anything but manual work for you?" he was asked. "How many hands does it take to use a paint brush?" he counter grinning, "I can do much painting with my left hand as any other painter can do with two. I'm not worrying about working. What I need work. I can Use a knife and fork, too.

What I've got to have is food to cat." A job of painting was found for him. Todd Will Stay As Prosecutor Of Ewald Case Report of Arrangement Hinted in Conference at Albany Is Confirmed Attorney General-elect John J. Bennett announced today that Special Deputy Attorney General Hiram C. Todd had agreed to continue in office to prosecute the cases growing out of the alleged purchase of a place on the magistrates' Bench by George F. Ewald.

At his law office in Manhattan Bennett said simply: "Mr. Todd has agreed to continue as special prosecutor. I cannot discuss any of these cases as they have not as yet come under my juridiction." Bennett conferred with Attorney General Hamilton Ward, whom he will succeed on Jan. 1, at Albany earlier in the week and intimated at the time that Todd would be requested to continue in office. Former Magistrate Ewald, Mrs.

Ewald, Tammany District Leader Martin J. Healy and Thomas P. Tommaney were indicted on a charge that the Ewalds paid Healy and Tommaney $10,000 for the appointment. Twice juries disagreed on Healy and Tommaney. The Ewalds, who have not been tried, were indicted yesterday, with Dr.

Francis M. Schirp, on the allegation that the Ewalds paid Dr. as an official of the Steuben Society $2,000 to procure Ewald a place on the bench. BAUMES SEEKS TO CLEAR NAME OF HARSHNESS Continued from Page 1 fathered, and such occurrences caused him considerable discomfort. He has told the Crime Commission and many of his friends that he feels whatever stigma has been attracted to his name, before he retires officially from the Senate at the end of this month, should be removed.

Thomas C. Desmond. wealthy president of the Young Republican Club, will take Baumes' seat in the upper branch of the Legislature. Will Favor Modification Although none of the three members of the subcommittee was available for comment todas. the Eagle learned from a reliable source that it will recommend a modification of the fourth offender law and the Commission is prepared to approve the report and pass it on to the Legislature.

It also was learned that although the committee has been commissioned to inquire into all of laws it will report only on the fourth-offender statute--the one known to the public as the Baumes law. The members of this group are Senator John Knight of Arcade, the majority floor leader; Assemblyman Burton Martin D. Esmond of Ballston Spa H. Weyrauch of Freeport, L. I.

Although it has not been determined just how the law is to be modified, it is expected that the report will call for a provision permitting, but not making mandatory, parole of a fourth offender after he has served 10 years of the life term. The purpose of such legislation would be to fit the punishment to the criminal rather than make it a fixed amount for all convicted four times of a felony. Way Paved for Change Passage last year, through an agreement between the Republican majority and Governor Roosevelt, of a law creating a permanent, fulltime Parole Commission, with additional officers, investigators and penologists, has paved the way for modifying the Baumes statute. The Commission also decided yesterday upon a recommendation to the Legislature for construction of two new prisons: one for defectives, similar to the institution at Napanoch, and the other, for 1,200 inmates, so built that will allow complete segregation according to crime and temperament.
