BUFFALO INQUIRY
WAITS S0NLEHMAN
Grand Jury Asks Special
Prosecutor to Widen Mu-
nicipaI Probe.
b the Associated Press.

- the Associated Press.
BUFFALO,, N. Y, Dec. 25.-Admin-
istrators OF New York's second largest
city today awaited Gov. Lehman's de-
cision on plan to widen a municipal
affairs inquiry which already has
placed nearly half the City Council
under arrest.
After an eight-week investigation,
q grand jury asked appointment of
special prosecutor and an extraor-
dinary grand jury to carry on the
inquiry, which they described as a
gigantic task" The jury's recon-
mendation is being considered by the
Governor.
Before adjouring the grand jury
showed its grim holiday mood. by
presenting 16 indictments, resulting
IN the arrest of Z Of the citys Is
councilmen, former State Senator,
q councilman-elect, a city paymaster
and 6 former city employees on felony
counts. The indictments included
charges of perjury. forgery or obtain
ing city funds through fraudulent
claims.
Both Parties Affected.
The grand jury's indictments slashed
through party lines by naming four
Democratic and three Republican
councilmen.
Much Of the jury's investigation was
based on information brought out in
public hearings by City Council
committee under direction of the COM
mittee's vigorous counsel, Frank G.
Raichle.
BY paradox the jury almost de-
stroyed the councilmanic committee
by indicting two of its five members.
Councilmen George j. Young and An
thony F. Dropik resigned from the
committee after their arrest.
With only three members left, the
committee announced it would prepare
final report and recess for the year.
leaving it up to the incoming Council
on January to appoint new body
to carry on the work.
System Called Rotten.
Raichles star witness before the
committee was City Treasurer James
D. Hoban, who testified: The city
audit system is rotten. Stealing
has been going on for 81 years. Il
could walk out of the city hall and
take every cent of the city's $8,00O,00O
in cash with me any time 3" The
temptation the present system affords
employees should be removed"
As Raichle compiled the commit
tees final report today he was men,
toned as the foremost candidate for
the special prosecutor post if the Gov-
ernor appoints one.
The young attorney started the
present investigation following the No.
vember 2 election He was hired by
the City Council before the election to
conduct an inquiry into pay rolls
and was discharged November g.
Raichle then started a John Doe in
quiry in City Court which resulted in
his reappointment by the Council and
the present investigation.

- RAVELING IN well WOrl

RAVELING in we'll worn
grooves, American travellers
are likely to find little language
L difficulty in Mexico Only
when they stray from the beaten track,
seeking out the remote of the pic
turesque towns or undertaking the
fun OF bargaining for characteristic
souvenirs in the market places, are
they liable to come up against the
barrier of alien tongues. Stopping
the casual passerby with a query is
about 50 to l unproductive, bringing
only polite bewilderment. But the
usual tourist travels paths where Eng
lish is spoken-the better hotels and
restaurants, railroad stations. post
offices. garages and filling stations,
stores catering to American trade.
Guides and interpreters are easy to
find, so all may venture from set
paths if they care to-
Two factors have helped pave the
spoken way for Americans in Mexico
the vanguard of the growing throng
OF visitors, which has passed on some
understanding of English while they
themselves picked up Mexican
phrases, and the return of Mexicans
to their native land after having ab-
sorbed fairly complete working
knowledge Of American -it-is s-spok-
en- in the United States. Travel has
opened up many jobs to English
speaking Mexicans and it is a
beneficent circle: Understandability
brings tourists and tourists bring I'M
derstandabili
So the tourist doesn't have to have
his style cramped by talking with
phrase book in hand limiting his ges-
lures. With good luck, he may need
never to use Spanish word. except
to describe the place he wants to 60.
But just in case, it would be mighty
handy to have a few phrases tucked
under ones hat Something like,
please call taxi" or how much
is it?''
MOT long ago the National Rail-
ways of Mexico were called upon
to decide how far the average tour
list need 60 in acquiring phrases that
would be Of help in Mexican travel
Company officials compiled a list
of about so words and short SEN
tences, not forgetting a few polite
expressions that may be used to prove
to MeXicans that the American tourist
is civilized human being for all
his shouting and haste. But the
greater emphasis in this list of useful
Spanish phrases is placed on pro-
nunciation Of names Of various towns,
streets and landmarks.
Just what did rail officials decide
was a practical minimum for Slip
ping through the barrier OF languages?
The list will prove useful for the
Mexico-bound traveller, and here it
is.

place in the United States up to now
where the Cuban jai alai (hi-lD games
have been played
Boat manufacturers in the area re-
port their yads are working at top
speed to flll orders for pleasure crafts
sought by early Fall, and the city is
preparing to expand it's berthing facili-
ties by 5000 feet in anticipation of
the s74,000,000 fleet of yachts that
docks here annually
Many new pools beach clubs and
night clubs were included in the sl6,-
100000 building total since the first
OF the year and there are no signs
OF let-up in construction work yet.
Dog racing, one of Miamis most
popular evening sports, will be fea-
tured again on five tracks in the area
with many special attractions in the
nature OF added entertainment novel;
ties already scheduled.
To still further enhance the sports
ana recreational outlook, the city has
voted an increase from sl40. 900 to
$239,OO0 in its promotional fund. This
money will be used to improve such
outstanding events as the all-Ameri-
can air meet, the Orange Bowl foot
oall game, the annual fishing tourna-
ments, sailing and speedboat regattas.

1t is both paradox and tribute
that in this, the l50th year since the
signing of the Constitution, it should
be undergoing its most severe test.
A paradox because while an of
fically created government sesqui-
centennial commission seeks to re-
kindle a devotion to the Constitu-
ton, others seek to prostitute it to
their own grasping for power. A
tribute because it has stood for $50
years in defiance of all attacks.
One of the most common and in
sidious attacks has been that the
Constitution is being used by mi
nority of the people to defeat the
will of the majority. As political
plea for votes this is clever, for it
is direct appeal to the majority.
But, as matter of fact, protection
for the minority is and has been
the heart and soul of the Constitu-
| ton.
Those who wrote the great docu-
ment had history behind them. And
they knew that majorities could al
ways take care of themselves. Be
cause they were the most numerous
The Constitution was intended to
prevent this majority from riding
roughshod over their weaker breth-
ern. The Bill of Rights was added
to strengthen this protection. The
Constitutional Amendment was pro-
vided to permit the will of the many
to prevail.
| Thus, so long as the Constitution
stands, there can never be persecu-
ton of any religious group or other
minority, by the majority. The mi
nority can speak its mind publicly
without fear of arrest and imprison-
ment. Property can not be taken
from the humblest or the richest
citizen.
September II this year will mark
the anniversary Of something more
than just another historic occasion
