Governors Hands

of Legislature
BY FRANK NORRIS
Times star Cerrespondsnt

LANSING, April 26.-Preposter-
Gus as it is, Republican legislators
actually are considering holding
the Legislature in session through
out 1941 merely to prevent Gov.
Murray d. Van Wagner fr o m
firing a few COP state officials.
The governors plight Is that he
cannot fire sullen and nonco-oper'
alive department heads as long
as the Legislature is in session.
Having confirmed these appointees
in the first place. only the Senate
can remove them while the law
makers are in Lansing.
And the Republican Senate, OF
course, is protecting Republican
office holders like Labor Mediators
Walter F. Moers and Arthur +.
Raab. who are poison TO Van
Wagner.

The plot is TO recess the legisla-
tive session until Fall. instead OF
adjourning. thus scotching the gov

Level-headed COP leaders prob
ably will prevent this drastic step.
They realize that, having made
Van Wagner governor, the voters
want him TO be free TO carry
out the program he promised. and
hat vicious hindrance by Repub-
Means will react against the party
next election.
However. the plan has been dis
cusSed al the COP caucuses and
has not yet been abandoned.
Sit Them in Corner
Meanwhile, Governor Van Wag-
oner has decided TO strip Moers
and Raab OF all responsibility in
labor mediation matters. He can
not remove them from the pay roll
while the Senate is here. but he
can sit them In a corner and give
them nothing 10 do.

Appeals Court Agrees
To Review Buckley Case

The Court of Appeals yesterday
agreed to review the reopened driv-
ing-while- drunk case against M.
Edward Buckley, jr., an attorney.
The review is to be made in the fall.
A petition asking for the review
in behalf of the District government
was filed on July by Assistant Cor
poration Counsel Oliver Gasch as
a result of Judge Hobart Newman
of Police Court having upheld on
June % a plea of former or double
jeopardy made by Mr.. Buckley. Up
holding of the plea by Judge New
man automatically ruled out trial
on the reopened charge. unless a
court higher than Police Court rules
otherwise.
Judge Newman, in upholding Mr..
Buckley's plea, reversed an earlier
ruling by Judge George D. Nelson
of Police Court who held Mr..
Buckley must stand trial on the
reopened charge.
Lie ollSuldl ullsillS WILLIE III uIlk
charge against Mr.. Buckley was pre-
ferred last July and noile pressed
in october when Judge Newman
heard Mr.. Buckleys plea Of guilty
of driving on the wrong side of the
street. Judge Newman imposed a
SIS fine on the latter charge. The
case was reopened in January. In
his former Jeopardy plea Mr.. Buck
ley maintained the driving while
drunk charge had been taken care
of in the charge of driving on the
wrong side of the street.
