Due for Pension
Despite Sentence

NEW YORK, Dec. 25 (AP).-
Former State Supreme Court
Justice j. Vincent Keogh, con-
victed of conspiracy in trying
to fix a Federal court case. has
been ruled eligible to receive a
city pension of about $4,000 a
year.
In making the ruling yester-
day, Justice Arthur G. Klein
held that Keogh's membership
in the city employees retirement
system constitutes a legal con-
tract, and he said "the courts
should not be stampeded by
public hysteria or clamor."
He called the city's refusal
to grant the pension arbitrary,
capricious and illegal"
The courts previously had up
held Keogh's rights to an ad-
.ditional pension Of $5,424 from
the State.
Keogh, Sc. was convicted last
June Of conSpiring with two
other men to try to influence
a United States district Judge
to show leniency in a bank
ruptcy case. The Board of Es-
innate rejected his application
for a city pension after he re-
tired from the bench following

Aware that man does not live by
bread alone, and that a one-crop
economy is not a stable foundation
upon which to build, you asked my
Administration to provide the sup
ports Of Tourism and Industry.
And we have responded. You petit
toned me, and the Legislature, to
help you achieve those facilities
that will bring you a growing
flood Of tourists. And most Of you
have asked us to provide the adj
ditional props of industrial pay
rolls.
Together, we have made long
strides toward these worthy goals.
But l would remind you that you
must be prepared to accept the
changes that such progress impos-
es. The achievement we celebrate
here today Of Jet Transportation
and its promise Of increased tour
ism benefits, is but the beginning.
The Jets will bring noise to
these peaceful surroundings, just
as industry will bring its smoke
stacks as well as its payrons. You
have asked for these benefits. You
must be prepared to face up to the
challenges of progress.
/ would remind my Crucian fri
ends and neighbors of the words
of Abe Lincoln, voiced in his Sc
cond Inaugural Address at a time
when the Union of States was suf-
fering the great changes that in
fluenced our course of history.
Said Lincoln: '"The Dogmas of the
quiet past are inadequate to the
stormy present our case is new,
so we must think and act anew"
And like the Father Of Our Coun
try, in his first inaugural message
to the new nation in 1889, / repose
in you the faith that President
WASHINGTON expressed in the good
sense Of his countrymen when he
salu he relied upon their Srever-
