Counterbalancing this influence by

political factors pulling equally strong
in the opposite direction. The Macken-

by the opposition to the effect that

District Commissioners today on the
appeal filed by Blanton, who was

the police trial board.
The BIanton appeal included some
caustic criticism Of members of
the trial board and the corporation
counsel who prosecuted BE police
man.
Since Blanton said that the brief
would be filed in printed form, it
was taken to mean that 1t is one
of his moves to give his argument
wide circulation.
1t was also indicated in the no.
tice of appeal that the Texan wants
another public hearing Of the Staples
case and wants it before the Board
OF District Commissioners. The
Commissioners are planning to study
the transcript OF the Staples case
