KEYES AWAITS
TRANSFER TO
STATE PRISON
BY United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 81. - Asa
Keyes, once national figure as
Los Angeles county's district attor-
ney, and now a convicted felon, to-
day awaited his transfer from the
county jail to San Quentin prison,
whose walls hold countless men sent
there by his vigorous prosecutions.
Keyes made no comment on the
one to II year term given him yes
terday, seemingly clinging to the
hope that he yet would escape i'm
prisonment.
Keyes and Ed Rosenberg, who re-
ceived a like sentence, have filed
oral notice of appeal. They failed,
however, to obtain liberty under
bond pending the appellate courts
decision.
Ben Getzoff, the other man of the
convicted trio, will be given a hear
ing on his application for probation
March 6. 1t is believed that his
broken physical condition would
make it impossible for him to sur
vive a prison term.
Keyes and Rosenberg will be held
here for at least 10 days, having OBJ
tanned a stay of execution for that
time.

OF Mrs. GRIMES

LOS ANGELES. Feb. 21.-Scarch
for Mrs. Callie Grimes, central fig
ura in the Councilman Carl 7. Jacob
son false arrest case, continued to-
day rs fear was expressed that she
might have been spirited away by
the underworld.
Mrs. Grimes, indicted with seven
others on conspiracy charge, was
expected to report to the district
attorney S office yesterday but all
attempts to get in touch with her
have been futile.
1t was Mrs. Grimes story to the
county grand jury of how Albert
Marco plotted with police officers
to Frame Councilman Carl l.
Jacobson in an immoral act that re-
suited in the indictments.
While the search for the woman
went on, the grand jury was pre-
pared to return further indictments
charging perjury against the seven
men already indicted.
This will be the final action of
the retiring jury, it was understood.
A report covering in detail vari-
GUS Investigations made during the
past year was to be given Superior
Judge Shaw by the jury. This re-
port was expected to criticize sever
al county departments.

Aimee Semple Mcpherson neared
Los Angeles today, as members of
the California legislature here pre-
pared for an impeac chment trial of
Judge Carlos Hardy Of the superior
court, because the Judge accepted a
$2,500 check from the evangelist.
The charge against Judge Hardy
is that he obstructed justice at the
time an investigation was conducted
into Mrs. Mcpherson S asserted kid
naping. An investigating commit
tee declared its opinion was that
the check was given Judge Hardy
by Mrs. Mcpherson 50 that publicity
attending her disappearance would
be ended.
The decision to try Judge Hardy
followed a month IS investigation by
an assembly special committee. 1t
was ordered by the assembly yester-
day by a vote of 81 to IS.
Mrs. Mcpherson drove all night in
order to reach Los Angeles today.
She had intended coming here but
her attorney advised against so do
ing. The assembly's action nulli-
fled a request it forwarded to the
evangelist for her to appear in con
hection with the inquiry.

SILENCE AIDING
HOOVER TO KEEP
PLANS SECRET
President Elect Is Not
Consulting Party Lead
erS.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
nited Press Staff CorreSnondent


WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Presi-
dcnt-elect Hoover's present absolute
silence, close friends explained to-
day, is means Of defense pufpOsely
adopted in his effort to shake him
self free from strictly party political
influences in selection Of his cabi-
net and formulation Of adnlinistra
tion plans.
Mr.. Hoover, they explain, is seek
ing men of known and proven abiI-
ity for his cabinet to aid in de.
veloping his administration along
broad lines If he gives his hand
away prematurely, before he is
ready to assume office, he will be
subject to pressure from political
influences on all sides, they point
out, causing confusion and friction
Once President, they say, he will
proceed vigorously to outline new
schemes of national development
and handle problems in such a way
as to meet general favor.
Whether this is the real reason
for his silence now will be made
known when he announces his cabi-
net shortly before his Inauguration
and outlines his general policies on
March 4. Whatever is the reason
for his complete silence, it keeps the
hypercurious capital completely
baffled. Less is known about his
cabinet and plans at this late date
than prior to any new administra-
tion in years.
Senator Borah of Idaho, is one
upon whom Mr.. Hoover apparently
is leaning heavily. The Idaho sena
tor conferred at length with the
President-elect last night at his
home. Mr.. Hoover is advising with
him about selection of attorney gen
eral, post the President-eleet would
like to have him fill.

Carlos S. Hardy, Los Angeles, sched-
uled to get under way in the senate
at an early date, the California
state legislature today moved to
clear its desks and adjourn at noon

days and the impending tax battle
another week. This would extend
the session into May.
While the impeachment vote late
