PART IN
COURT Criticised
Comment Over Activity in
Behalf of Democratic Reg
lStration Appeals
MORE CASES PASSED
ON BY JUDGE RICE

Much critical comment is heard be-
cause OF the activity of Deputy At
torney General Armon d. Chaytor in
the Superior Court, where he is one
of the lawyers in charge of the Demo-
cratic registration appeals
The fact that MIR. Chaytor is an Of
fetal who. with the attorney general.
would be called on to prosecute any
cases Of registration fraud that might
develop. has added to the comment.
Many persons have expressed Won
derment as TO why a State prosecutor
should appear in court in purely a
partisan capacity. especially when
prosecutions might grow out of the
registration appeal hearings.
/ II is pointed out that the regis
| tration hearings yesterday unfolded
| such condition Of questionable reg
istrations from the Megary apartment
/ house at No. POI East Fifth street that
Judge Rice remarked that il should
be called to the attention Of the at
torney general.

I General Chaytor took part in the case

marked that the case should be taken
