guments Concerning Her Appoint
ment to Juvenile Court.

that if not confirmed for the Juvenile
Court bench. she probably would go
on in the field of social service work.
Former District Attorney John E.
LaSkey, in opening his argument in
favor of Miss Bentley, declared every
thing that had been said against the
legal qualifications of Miss Bentley
could have been raised against Judge
Sellers when she was nominated for
the Juvenile Court bench in 1918.
He testified that Judge Sellers gradu-
ated from law school in 1913. five
years before appointment. During
the interval he said, she taught in
law school and worked in Offices
Laskey said Miss Bentleys expe-
rience as a factory inspector under
the child labor law had taken her
into 80 States, preparing cases for
prosecution. He said she has had
an opportunity to study juvenile court
work in II States. He said she has
knowledge of the law and sound
judgment. He placed emphasis on
the latter qualification as being the
most important for this position.
Held Well Equipped.
Miss Jessie La Sale, director OF
educational research of the public
schools. declared Miss Bentley 'is Just
as we'll equipped as the present in
cumbent."
Miss Bentley" she said. "is not a
sloppy sentimentalist She Is not
swept off her feet by hysteria. She
has moral backbone and stability and
fine understanding Of child prob
lens"
c. c. johnson. representing a group
Of colored organizations. and Rev. R,
w. Brooks, representing the Interde-
nominational Ministerial Alliance, an
other colored organization, indorsed
Miss Bentley's appointment. pointing
out that her training. wide social
experience and temperament we're
sufficient qualifications to satisfy
them.
1T isn't how much law you practice
but how well you apply the law you
know" is the way Louis Gutenberg
attorney, defended Miss Bentley
against attacks on her lack of legal
experience If Miss Bentley is not
confirmed" he declared, "a great
mistake will be made"
Miss Selma Borchardt of the Teach
ers' Union and Mrs. Elizabeth Hum
mer, supervising principal of the
seventh division of the public school
system, were among other school rep
resentatives who Endorsed Miss Bent
ley's appointment. Miss Borchardt,
however, pointed out she wa not in
dorsing Miss Bentley as an individual.
but the qualifications of a trained
social worker with an adequate knowl-
edge of law to serve as a Juvenile
Court judge.
Confirmation of Miss Bentley's ap-
pointment also was urged by Prof. H.
G. Spaulding of George Washington
University Law School. who said he
taught her in equity classes; Ray H.
Everett, executive secretary of the
Social Hygiene Society; Richard
Hogue, director of the Independent
Legislative Bureau. and Louise Nc
Guire of the National Catholic School

German Minister of Propaganda
Suggests Method of
Prohibition.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, February 8.-A new pro-
hibition has been pronounced against
the Jews in Germany.
Paul Joseph Goebbels, minister OF
propaganda, announced today that
Jews cannot participate creatively in
the nations artistic life.
At an executive session Of the new
Nazi Kultur Chamber, the minister
said: Il note regretfully that the
Jews, pushed out of the other profess
sions, are seeking occupation in the
kultural life because of the absence
of the Aryan paragraph"
The Aryan paragraph of the new
civil service law, which pushed the
Jews out of the professions, did not
apply to the work of kultur.
Suggesting a method of barring the
Jews notwithstanding, Goebbels said:
If any one appears to be unreliable
or unsuitable for membership in any
cultural organization, he can be re-
fused"

|CKES PLANS SALE.
OF CITY SECURITIES
Bonds Purchased by P. W.
A. May Be Offered to
Private Investors.

Sale to the public of certain munic-
ipal bonds that have been purchased
by the Public Works Administration
In making loans for non-Federal pub
lie works is being considered. it was
announced today by Administrator
Ickes.
1t is estimated the p w. A. has at
present about $4,000 1000 worth Of
these bonds, but as the program gets
underway many times this amount
will have been purchased by the
p w A.
Such sales. the administrator said,
when and if found advisable, would
be exploratory to determine procedure
In an entirely new phase Of the P.
w. A. program and would indicate
reversal in the general trend. The
bonds now carry interest which the
P. w. A. will begin collecting one
year from the making of the loan. 1t
is pointed out that selling the bonds
would be in accord with the public
works theory of Government aid in
financing employment-creating works
in times of economic stress. with the
intent of reSelling the securities when
the market is able to absorb them.
Begins Legal Study.
"Sale of these bonds to the highest
qualified bidders. providing prices bid
and the responsibility of the bidders
are satisfactory, is being given serious
thought" Ickes said. Il am having
the finance and legal divisions make
a study of the matter and report
to me.
If proper bids are not Forthcoming
and it does not seem advantageous to
sell, the matter will not be pushed
at present because the Government is
receiving interest on its investment
in such bonds While it holds them. The
right will be reserved in all circum-
stances to reject any and all bids. 1t
does not appear advisable to embark
upon such plan to seek to dispose
of any large blocks of securities until
satisfactory selling procedure is ef
fected''
Would Go to Treasury.
1t was stated that when and if the
bonds are sold. the proceeds would not
revert to the public works fund. but
would go to the general fund of the
Treasury.
The public works section of the
national industrial recovery act states
the P. w. A. has the right TO sell
any security acquired"
All the securities held have been
carefully scrutinize and in several
instances loans have been turned
down for what the public works Off
cials regarded as inadequate security.
In some cases entire issues in financ-
ing public works projects have been
taken over The Federal Reserve
banks are used as custodians Of the
securities and as agents for the P. W.
A. Should the plan be adopted, de-
tails of the procedure will be an
nounced in advance of any sales.
