WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-Jus-
tice Benjamin Nathan Cardozo is
the baby" Of the supreme court
but he is fast becoming one Of its
busiest members.
Almost every decision finds him
reading one and sometimes more
opinions in his precise, clear tones.
He has a faculty for dramatizing
even the most routine Of legal cases
until they reflect human struggles
which liz back OF every lawsuit.
Those who have to listen to the
courts deliberations find Cardozo's S
opinions a welcome break in the
usually a tedious procedure.
When he was appointed to the
bench, it was recalled that his Eng
lish professor had commented that
he wrote better than any American

A PAROLED MAN


ANOTHER Los Angeles police officer
"A is dead-killed by gunman's bullets.
detective Lieutenant Paul Lee was shot
oown yesterday by a gunman whom he
encountered while making an investiga-
tlon IN which third party was sought
by the officer for questioning.
Lee was shot down without warning
when he accidentally happened upon the
gunman. Though wounded, the officer
drew his own gun and returned the fire
unfortunately without effect
Detective Lee died I'm the line of
duty, an end that confronts every peace
officer, and risk which they knowingly
assume when they are sworn in. In re-
turn for that risk it would seem only
falr that the law should give those who
assume 1t the most ample protection in
order that the risk may be minimized.
This the law did not do in the case of
Detective Lee and in the case of numer-
Gus other peace officers who have been
killed on duty.
Lees slayer is identified as one An
drew Holeman, who was released on pa
role June 1 of this year after having
served six years for robbery His pa
role was granted notwithstanding a
lengthy police record. Yesterdays trag-
edy proves that the parole board was
lax in its duties in granting parole to
man essentially a criminal and dan
gerous one.
The parole board, representing the
law, threw down Lee and every other
peace officer in the state and elsewhere,
when it restored liberty to dangerous
man. 1t increased the risk which Lee
and his brother officers are asked to
take. If Holeman were the only dan
gerous man released by the parole board
it would be bad enough, but he is just
one of many whom the board frees and
who Immediately return to criminal
ways.
Now the law is hunting Holeman and
will demand his life if he is apprehend-
ed. Nothing will be done about the pa
role board. 1t will be permitted to con-
tinue releasing dangerous men and 9TH
er officers will pay the penalty of the
boards folly as Lee did
1t is a deplorably vicious circle. The
law hamstrings itself. The peaceable
citizen, ever ready to criticize the po-
lice, will continue to do so. Yet the
peaceable citizen is back of the parole
board and he too must share that body's
blame for such tragedies as Lees death

UNCLE WIGGILY's CHRISTMAS

Nh1
Uncle Wiggily looked at his wife
and Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy in
the hollow stump bungalow one
morning and said:
Il am going to try it again"
TRY what?' Mrs. Longears
wanted to know.
Some Christmas shopping"

ny boys may follow you again to
try to find things out ahead OF
Christmas time. Or the girl rab-
bits may"
THE girl bunnies will not, for
they are fair and square," said
Uncle Wiggily. And though the
boys tried it, not meaning to, be
bad, I suppose, but just because
they didn't think, they will not try
it again.
Not after the way you fooled
them with the blown-up paper bags

BAD
BUSINESSMAN

Luis Rodriguez apparently had
an idea of going in for liquor
smuggling in big way as he pur-
chased 148 bottles of mescal in
Mexico last night with the inten-
ton of bringing Christmas cheer
into the United States at the port
of entry at Calexico.
Either the load was too heavy or
Rodriguez wanted to be perfectly
informed as to the excellence of
the drink. AT any rate, he drank
five bottles before departing for
the land of the free.
BY the time he consumed the
last bottle he was not in the best
of physical condition and E. M
Johnson, customs inspector at the
line, had no difficulty in detecting
the load of contraband.
When he appeared before Dor
sey Whitelaw, United States COM
missioner, this morning bail was
set at $1,000. He now is in the
county Jail where he has time to
figure out how much he would
have made if he had not careless
ly imbibed what was intended for
peddling to others.

So Uncle Wiggily, knowing he
was safe from being followed by
his boy rabbits, once more started
out to look around at the Christ
mas presents in the stores so he
would know what to tell Santa
Claus to bring for the trees and
stockings Christmas morning.
All of a sudden, as he was pass
ing a toy store, Uncle Wiggily saw
in the window a large, black pussy.
"Ha! A Christmas catl" exclaim-
ed the rabbit. THAT is just what
Nurse Jane wants to keep her door
open so it will not slam shut when
the wind blows. I'll get her that
Christmas cat. I'll get it ahead of
time and show it to my wife. Mrs.
Longears will know whether or
not Nurse Jane will like this black
Christmas cat. If she doesn't I'll
have time to get something else
in its place"
SO Uncle Wiggily hoped into
the toy store and said to the lit
tie monkey doodle gentleman be-
hind the counter:
"I1l buy that Christmas cat"
"What for?" asked the monkey
doodle.
"If you mean for whom, I'll tell
you, though it's a secret, that the
Christmas cat is for Nurse Jane,
said Mr.. Longears.
Il didn't mean just that" said
the monkey doodle, smiling. y
mean, what is Nurse Jane going
to do with the cat after you give
it to her for Christmas?"
She will use it to hold her door
open 50 the wind will not slam II

NO, she can't do that" spoke
the monkey doodle.

in surprise.

CROWD WATCHES SQUIRRELS

ANDREWS, S. 9. U.P)-Practi-
cally the entire town turned out
to watch two young squirrels start
out life together in an oak tree on
the main street. A week or SO ago
the young animals were turned out
on the world and built a nest in
a less populous part of town. Along
came a gust of wind and broke up
housekeeping. So they started out
again and although a quite large
crowd gathered to watch them,
they went right ahead with their
work, finished the nest and re-

of his famed predecessor, Oliver
Wendell Holmes. who was known
for his breyity as well as his clar-
ity, but the virtues of Cardozo's
style are widely dissimilar.
Written at greater length his
opinions sometimes take on the
elegance of poetry.
When he first came to the capi-
tai a year ago Cardozo took a
suite at one of the towns swank-
lest hotels. This year he is living
in an apartment building well
known for the notables it houses.
Among his neighbors are Sena-
tod William E. Borah and Justice
James c. McReynolds. Borah is
credited with having insisted on
Cardozo's appointment to the su-
preme bench. He is said to have
told President Hoover no other ap-

pointee could be confirmed in the
senate.
McReynolds had the distinction,
until Cardozo assembled the bench,
of being the courts only bachelor.
Their joint condition of single
blessedness is about the only SINH
larity between the two justices.

INDIANS IN NEED

WITH SO many in want in all parts of
w the country at this particular time,
singing out any group or individuals
as being particularly deserving of aid
would probably create considerable diff
ference of opinion.
1t would seem, however, that the
plight of Southern California Indians is
singularly deplorable.
A delegation of the San Diego county
Indians appeared before the supervis-
0rs in that county this week, begging for
aid to keep them and their families from
starvation.
The Indians, representing the Campo
reservation, pleaded for a truckload of
beans, little flour and other essentials,
pending action by the federal govern
ment whose wards the Indians are.
We are not familiar with all the facts
in the case, so that it is dangerous and
possibly unfair to criticize, except in a
general way. The very fact that the In
dians asked for help would indicate that
there is dire need among them.
The federal government is supposed
TO care for the Indians, and if it is nee
essary for the Indians to appeal to a
county for aid, it would indicate that the
federal government is falling down on its
job.
Late this summer there was a sena-
torial commission out here investigat-
ing the condition of the Indians and ev-
identity the results of its Investigations
are about on par with the results of
most investigating bodies. They investi-
gate and report and let it go at that.
If the senatorial committee was func-
tioning properly it must have become
cognizant of the need of the Indians
and ample time has elapsed since it was
out here to make certain that there was
sufficient food for the reservation dur
ing the winter season.
The governments course with the In
dians has not been one, generally speak
ing, of which Americans may be proud.
Broken treaties and violated rights are
strewn throughout our history. Time
has given us the chance to see the error
of our ways and we should be quick to
make amends. Seeing that the Indians
who are in need now are given prompt
attention and relief would not be chari-
ty, but merely paying little on the
debt we owe to them.

Statement From New York Inter-

Still Awaited at Noon.

Today was the "deadline'' for the re-

interests controlling the Washington
and Georgetown Gas Light Cos. as
to what they would do to comply with
the order of the Public Utilities Com
mission to divest themselves of their
control of the local companies, but up
to noon today no statement had been
received
Arthur Dean, counsel for the West
field trust, one of the chain of owners
OF the local properties, was to have pro-
duced the statement last week, but at
that time said it would be ready not
later than today.
The order was issued on the eve of
the annual meeting of stockholders of
the Washington company last month,
the commission holding that the then
stock ownership Of the companies was
in violation of the La Toilette anti
merger act, prohibiting ownership or
control of local utilities by foreign util-
ity or holding corporations, and the
stockholders meeting was adjourned
Several meetings of the board of direc-
tors have been held since, however.
