PERJURY


Perjury in the courts has become as common as lying
in the streets and just about safe according to the
New York World 1t speaks particularly of New
York courts but citizens in all parts of the country
will realize that it applies in greater less degree
erywhere 1t is of the shames only of present
day procedure but also of the public attitude
ward justice.
1t is said by jurists of long experience that the juror
and the the street regard lenienty anyone
who lies, under oath, to help friend or cause he
is interested in Occasionally when New York Judges
have felt that per ury particularly fragrant in
given and have turned the facts to the district
attorney nothing has been done about because it is
commonly realized that jury would convict the per-
urer 1t would prefer to regard him as rather chival
and good sport for his deliberate misstatements.
1t is obvious that attainment Of justice becomes
exceedingly difficult in such state of affairs Some
thing should be done about the situation both in in
creased effort to enforce punishment for perjury and
also in education toward feeling of greater response

the person most concerned.

DIR. MEAD KNOWS

On many occasions in the past, Dr. Ewood Mead, di-
rector of the Reclamation Service has proved himself
a staunch friend of Imperial Valley by his strenuous
efforts in behalf of the SwingJ bill for the con-
canal.
And this friend of the valley is still keeping up his
good work
In debate with Senator Ashurst of Arizona in the
senate this week. Senator Johnson, coauthor of the
bill quoted from letter written by DR.. Mead to Chair
reclamation in which he urged early construction of
Boulder dam the means to avert disaster to
Imperial Valley.
The letter stated that congress could act without
awaiting ratification of the Colorado river compact by
six states.
sity for controlling the Colorado river than Dr. Mead
who has made close study of the river and its basin for
several years. He has been in Imperial Valley num-
Der of times and is thoroughly acquainted with the
rious arguments for and against the Swng-J ohnson
bill His information has been obtained at first hand,
and by personal study and observation, and is not
based on hearSay evidence or questionable data.
When of his standing in engineering circles
declares that Boulder Canyon dam should be construct
ed Immediately, the statement should carry consider
able weight. The statement is not influenced by any
political commercial ASPIRATIONS but is plain fact
based the speakers actual knowledge of conditions
The declaration that act without awaiting
ratification of the pact by six states directly opposed
to the position apparently taken by members of the
house rules committee, who have succeeded in holding
up action the bill because the pact has not been rati

ditionay ratified by California
If those who oppose the bill not blinded by greed
and political prejudices they would realize DR..
Mead does that development and control of the Colo

taken to open up empire in the southwest and to
utilize the greatest natural resource in the west.

WARNER LOSES FIGHT
FOR CHILD'S CUSTODY
Naval Flyer Sought Writ Pending
Appeal, Which Comes Up
in October.

Lieut.. Paul C. Warner, naval
aviator, lost his plea today in the Dis
trict Court of Appeals to have custody
Of his minor daughter pending the
result of his appeal from a decree in
the District Supreme Court, which
awarded the child to her mother, Mrs.
Natalie A. Warner. as the sequel to a
divorce proceeding tried last year.
The officer had sought temporary
custody of the child upon the ground
that his wife, whom he commended was
a supporter of Soviet ideals, had
wrongfully left the jurisdiction of the
court with the child without first OBJ
tanning permission. This allegation
the wife strenuously denied, asserting
that Lieut.. Warner was attempting to
prejudice her case, in advance of hear
ing, by the charge that she was q be.
lever in the red" form Of govern.
ment. She asserted her parents were
supporters of the late Car and two
brothers served with distinction on
the side Of the allies in the World
War.
Mrs. Warner was awarded custody
Of the child by Chief Justice Mccoy,
after a heated divorce trial, in which
the husband was awarded limited
divorce on grounds of desertion. The
court gave custody Of the daughter
to Mrs. Warner, with an allowance
Of $75 for the child's support. Attor-
ney Raymond Neudecker appeared in
the Court of Appeals on behalf of Mrs.
Warner. The Warner case will be
argued In the appellate tribunal In
October.
