U. 5. Attorney Opens
Investigation Into
Manton Dealings
Dewey, New York State
Tax Officials Pushing
Separate Inquiries
sy the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. Limited
States District Attorney Gregory F..
Noonan today opened systematic
investigation of the extensive busi-
ness dealings of Federal Judge Mar
tin T. Manton, who was barred from
further service on the bench by
President Roosevelt yesterday.
Mr.. Noonan indicated special
Federal grand jury might be i'm
paneled to consider the case of the
resigned senior member of the
United States Circuit Court of APP
peals, who is accused of taking loans
totaling more than $439,000 from
persons interested in cases before
his court.
The United States attorney said
the 58-year-old jurist would be in
vited" to appear before the grand
jury later-"after evidence has been
presented"
Concurrent inquiries also were un-
der way by the State tax depart
ment and District Attorney Thomas
E. Dewey.
Although denying wrongdoing and
insisting his business transactions
bore no connection with his judicial
post, Judge Manton resigned Mon
day after % years on the Federal
bench to avoid public controversy"
The President dictated this reply
Immediately on receipt of Judge
Manton's letter:
II have received your resignation
as United States circuit judge for
the second judicial circuit, and I
hereby accept it to take effect on
Tuesday, February 7. This will give
you opportunity to dispose of such
pending matters as the public in
terest requires, but this means, of
course, that you will no longer sit
on cases before the court"
Mr. Noonan, who launched his in
vestigation at the order of United
States Attorney General Frank Muir
ply, said the Federal grand jury
wanted to determine not only
whether there were violations of
criminal law on the part of the
judge, but whether there were vio-
lations of criminal law on the part
Of any one"

The receivership petition was filed

Securities and Exchange Commits
sion obtained an injunction enjoin-

contended were fraudulent prac-

injunction, but denied the practices

Judge Baker said he found "con-
ISOLATION in the fact that represent

Attorney Wood said the associa-

to do so until all advertising matter

Payments on Average Wage.
B. Base the monthly benefit pay
ments on the average wage of the
worker instead of his total wages,
thus leveling off inequalities and
providing bigger payments for those
who reach IS after working only a
few years under the program.
6. Change the Federal grants to
States for old-age assistance from
a fiat percentage matching" basis
to one based on the economic capac-
ity of each State.
Z. Increase the Federal grants for
aid to dependent children from one
third to one-half of that paid by
the State
8. Simplify administration, posi-
bly, comining the old-age insur-
ance and unemployment compen-
sation tax provisions so as to
simplify record keeping and report
making by employers.
8. Require a merit system for
State workers in administration of
the program.
THE board believes" Mr.. Alt
meyer said, that it is sound social
policy to extend old-age insurance
to as many of the Nations workers
as possible.
g., ut is administratively feasible to
bring into the system large numbers
OF persons not yet covered-includ-
Ing employees of non-profit organiza-
tlons, employees of national banks
and other so-called Federal instru-
mentalltles, seamen, domestic work.
ers and agricultural laborers.
All told, these groups include
some 100000 men and women who
would thus be assured of old-age
protection, which there can be no
doubt the vast majority of them
sorely need"
Excluding these groups, the system
now covers about 42,5OO,OOO workers.
Limited Farm Application.
Extension of the act to agriculture
labor should be limited, Mr.. Altmever
said, to those employees in large
scale and Frequently semi-indus-
trlal' farming operations, and not
include the farmland doing ordinary
work on small farm.
Referring to the recommendation
that the States be required, as con-
oltlon for the receipt of Federal
grants in those phases of the pro-
gram administered by the States. to
maintain a merit system for en-
ployes, the chairman said:
In our opinion, it is sound policy
Tor the State agencies administering
these programs to have complete
authority for the selection, tenure
OF office and compensation of in
dividual personnel. But the board
believes that in the interest of
proper administration, this authority
should be exercised in accordance
with a systematic merit system.
This would be no encroachment
on State authority"
System Held Working Now.
Chairman Altmeyer began his
statement by explaining how the
social security system is functioning
under the present law.
There is no longer q question
OF whether such system will work,
he said. "It is working"

RADIANT LIVING
BEHIND THE VAIL
BY Rev. C. NJ. Grineth
Methodist Pastor OF
Deals Island, Md.

Before the most sacred room
known as the Holy of Holes" in
King Herod's Temple in Jerusalem
in the time of Christ hung a beauti-
full heavy curtain known as the
Vail.
Behind this Vail no person, Jew,
or even High Priest was permitted
to go. Except upon one day of the
year, the Day of the Atonement, then
only the High Priest was permitted
to go behind the vail. bearing upon
his thumbs, toes, and ears the blood
OF the sacrifice. 1t was the most
sacred place in all the world for
Jew. 1t was the residence of God!
But when Pompey, the Roman
general, beseiged Jerusalem and fl
nally rode into the city in triumph.
wishing to insult the Jew and his
religion with most blasphemous act,
he prOfanely snatched the heavy cur
tain aside and blasphemOusly strut
ted into the sacred shrine.
Quickly he stepped out again.
There is nothing there!" he eX-
claimed disappointedly. Certainly
nOt-fOr Pompey.
Spiritual realities can not he seen
with physical eyes. God, i'm all His
glory was there. But Pompey's eyes
could not behold Him. The spiritual
does not exist in the consciousness
of the ENTHUSIASTICALLY minded man.
In his Second Letter to the COrin-
thians, the Apostle Paul writes: But
if our Gospel be hid. ii is hid to
them that are lost; in whom the god
of this world hath blinded the minds |
Of them which believe not, lest the /
light of the glorious gospel of Christ.
who is the image of God, should
shine unto them"
Rash Pompey, snatching aside the
heavy Temple vail. saw nothing. But
hose who approach with a reverent
that mystic Vail that shields
he sacred things of the Spirit find
t slowly dissolving TO view before
heir eyes. disclosing to them the
'adiant glory of the Divine Presence.

syphilis had on the natives of that

carried it back from the Western
Continent. In proof thereof, Captain
HolcOmbe showed slides of script in
Greek, Arabic and Latin of medical
books. telling of syphilis. which ante
