primary was given tonight to the SEN
ate campaign funds investigation COM
mittee by Senator George Wharton
Pepper, defeated by Ware in the sena-
torial race.
Testifying a few hours after O'Con-
nor himself had denied telling such a
story to anyone, Senator Pepper re-
called for the committee the magis-
trates conversation with him and en-
phasized it with the declaration that
'this thing is so clear in my mind that
it is as if it happened yesterday"
The magistrate had been recalled to
answer the testimony of three Phi1a-
delphia newspaper men, who said
OConnor told them of the offer to buy
his support for Vale. He denied their
testimony in general and in detail and
added that he had told the story to
no one.
Senator Pepper told the committee
that he had several interviews with
O'Connor. On one visit to his home,
the senator related, OConnor told him
that he had been offered $4,000 to go
over to the Ware organization, and
that there had been some talk as well
of naming members of the state leg
islature.

HEADS LEGAL
FRATERNITY
Edith NJ. Atkinson and
Husband Both on
the Bench

Judge Edith M. Atkinson of the
juvenile court Of Dade county,
FLORIDA arrived in washington this
morning for her installation as ma.
ttofial president OF the Phi Delta
Delta Womenss Legal Fraternity.
The ceremony will take place this
evening at the home of Assistant
Attorney General Mabel Walker
Willebrandt, the retiring active
president OF the fraternity.
Judge Atkinson's husband Is also
Judge. He sits on the bench OF
the municipal court in Miami, and
this is probably the only known
case In the world in which both
the husband and wife are judges
sitting concurrently. The coinci-
dence came about in rather an In
teresting way. Mrs. Atkinson was
practicing attorney in Miami
when her husband was elected to
the bench. Naturally since she
would be unable to practice before
her husbands court, she had to
look around for something else to
do, and at last she decided to run
In the Forthcoming election for a
judgeship herself.
Judge Atkinson believes that the
proper slogan Tor juvenile courts
should be prevention rather than
detention" and during her term In
office she has sent very few j1ve-
nile delinquents to the State insti.
tutions, and with the assistance Of
able probation officers she keeps In
