COURT APPOINTS
| NEW PROSECUTOR
Judge Charges Protection
of Defense in ReeCe
Perjury Cases.
~ the Associated Press.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. April H.
Charging State Attorney General
Richard M. Atkinson with having no
conception of the duties Of his office,
Criminal Judge Charles Gilbert yes
terday appointed pro tenn prosecutor
to handle perjury and conspiracy
charges that resulted from the recent
J. I. Reece grand larceny trial.
Judge Gilbert appointed Jack Nor
man. Nashville lawyer. who an
nounced he would seek grand jury ac-
ton today or tomorrow. The ap-
pointment was made after Judge Gil
bert read an answer from Atkinson
saying the attorney generals oath
Of Office and the dictates of his con-
science" would not permit him to
comply with the courts order to
prosecute the cases.
TOO interested in Defense"
"This is a fragrant example of gross
stupidity-untruthtul. scandalous and
impertinent," Judge Gilbert said.
THE attorney general" he con-
tinued, sis too highly interested in
the defense to prosecute them. To
my mind he is trying to protect them
instead of prosecute them. He has
behaved in a manner unbecoming a
public prosecutor.
He has been experimenting and
trif1ing with this court. I cannot
tolerate such action"
Reece, a former State insurance
commissioner, was convicted last
month on charge of stealing $780,
900 in bonds from the Insurance De-
partment.
Following the trial Judge Gilbert
issued five bench warrants charging
perjury and four charging conspiracy
to defraud the State.
Appointment in 1881.
Reece, c. c. Corpening, Perry De-
busk, Miss Hilda McCray and Lem
Reece brother of j. l., were named
In the perjury warrants, while Lem
Reece, Corpening, Debusk and A. P.
Powers were charged with conspiracy.
Once before, in 1881, an attorney
general pro tenn has been named by
Judge Gilbert to substitute for Atkin-
son. At that time he refused to
prosecute Luke Lea and others on
charge of conspiracy to defraud the
closed Liberty Bank g. Trust c., and
Seth M. Walker of Nashville was
designated to handle the matter.
The perjury and conspiracy war
rants were issued on motion of Walker
serving as additional State counsel in
Reece's trial by appointment OF Gov.
McAlister over Atkinson's protest.
Issuance of the warrants also was
protested by Atkinson.

BAD BUDGETEERING

IN view Of the need for an honest, accurate
and up-to-date cost Of living survey for
the whole country. it is unfortunate that the
United States labor departments request for
ample funds should have been cut by the
budget director to less than half the estimate
The last government cost-of-hving survey
was made in 1918 by the war labor board. 1t
covered wage-earners' families in ninety-two
cities. Those standards are as obsolete today
as red flannel underwear. To use these sixteen
year-old figures today is in the words Of for
mer Labor Department Statistician Stewart,
"a crime, fraud and an outrage"
Things like automobiles, radios, telephones,
electric refrigeratorS and vacuum cleaners that
were luxuries in 1918 now are necessities. To-
day. also, the low-bracket income groups in
clude large body of white collar workers as
well as wage earners
Our social vision has lifted. According to
Labor Secretary Perkins, 1884 American Iiv-
ing standard should include not only food,
clothing and shelter but security for old age
provision and the opportunity for healthy rec
reational life and suitable varied and ex-
tended education"
To use old style minimum cost-of-l living
figures as a basis for wage-hxing is, of course.
uneconomic under the new conception of the
workers place in society. The American Fed
Grafton of Labor has abandoned this method
of wage-fxing as predicated on an industrial
feudalism belonging to the eighteenth century
In society that has adopted the goals of
national planning. consumer welfare and high
wages as essential to adequate purchasing
power, new yardstick is essential.
Congress should appropriate a sufficient
fund for a modernized cost living survey by
the labor department.
