ton hearing before a Senate
Judiciary subcommittee.
He has been praised by some
Federal judges but criticized by
spokesman for the American
and New York bars, a former
colleague on the bench and a
string of other lawyers and
court attaches.
The adverse testimony cen

Sessions, from which he re-
signed as chief justice in jan

His face flushed frequently
yesterday as several witnesses

describe incidents in his court
room. This, they explained,
meant they had been publicly
caStigated without warning
and without apparent cause.

in every three court days.
John Bonomi, assistant coun-
sci ,of the New York State
Commission Of Investigation
and former assistant district
attorney serving in Judge Coo

Miss Cox's testimony. He said
he was there when Judge Coo

she did not plead her clients
guilty, they would not get the
youthful offender treatment.

Mr.. Bonomi was one Of sew
eral witnesses who described
Judge Cooper's regular "lec-
ture" to defendants, their par
ents, attorneys and courtroom
attaches after the days session.
On one occasion, he said, while
Judge Cooper was saying he
wanted to make the youthful
offender section "a court with
a heart" the Judge interrupted
himself to say to a defendant,
Young man, are you smiling
at me? Throw him in the
cooler" Then, the witness tes-
titled, Judge Cooper continued
his lecture on the court with

Chairman Celler of the House
Judiciary Committee, who is
sponsoring Judge Cooper and
stayed at his side through yes
terday's hearing. called the
counsel of his own committee
to testify in Judge Cooper's
behalf.
William Foley, who was an
assistant district attorney in
New York before coming to the
House Judiciary Committee in
l949, testified that he had
worked for a week in Judge
Cooper's courtroom and never
saw any evidence of the out
breaks described by other wit
nesSes.
Another witness called in
Judge Cooper's behalf was
Thomas Dwyer, jr., uniformed
court officer who served in
Judge Cooper's court for Is
months. He said he was ques-
toned about Judge Cooper
last week by an investigator for
the New York bar but when he
was given an affidavit to sign
supposedly on the basis of his
statements, it was not what he
had said. Under questioning.
he said he was not trying to
imply that anybody had tried
to trick him into signing some
thing false.
Asked about the lectures"
described by other witnesses,
Mr.. Dwyer confirmed that the
door was locked before the lee
ture began and that the judge
did refer to some of the de-
PENDANTS as buns" but he
didn't single any of them out.
Tells of Run-in
Mr.. Dwyer said he was one
of the courtroom attaches pres
ent in Judge Cooper's chambers
when Wallace Keyser, a senior
court aide and process server,
had a run-in with the judge.
Mr., KeySer had testified ear
lier. that Judge Cooper had
started raving at him and had
finally said, Get out of here,
you yellow livered - -
-" Mr.. Keyser said that he
was so shaken by the expert
ence that he became sick and
when he returned to work ev-
erybody told him about their
experiences with the judge and
II got very popular"
Mr.. Dwyer, in giving his &C
count of the incident, said that
Mr.. Keyser did not stand up
to address the judge in his
chambers and when Judge Coo
per pointed that out Mr.. Key
ser jumped up shaking and
sweating. Mr.. Dwyer said that
Mr.. Keyser asked to be ex-
cused, to which the Judge re-
torted, Are you yellow? Have
you no backbone?"

TVHE UNFORTUNATE controversy over use of a
Il fiberglass vaulting pole by John Uelses while
twice soaring Is feet may have created some un
ances by the Quantco Marine which have marked him
our chief hope for the 1854 Olympic championship
Cornelius Wamerdam, who held the American
record from 1913 until 1859 with vault of Is feet 81
inches, quick to praise Uelses for his performance
an action which, unhappily, not followed by Don
Bragg whose IS feet on inches in 1859 took the record
from Wamerdam
Bragg in fact at Philadelphia recently was highly
critical Of the of the fiber pole and offered give
Uelses he clears 10 feet in the next two months
with aluminium pole, offer which Uelses obviously
could not accept if he desires to remain amateur.
Bragg also said that he hopes that Ueses will give him
$4,000 If he clears 10 feet with fiber pole would
be neat trick If Uelses corporaPs pay could put
up $4,000
Why there should be questioning Of the type of
pole used is little difficult to in view ofthe general
praise for the subfour minute mile the foot high
jump, the 92secOnd 1O0yard dash, the 136second
high hurdles and the over 27fOOt broad jumps.
The answer to Uelses' performance, of course, is
the general improvement in training in diet and gen.
eral physical condition, and this applies also to the
other recOrdhOlders who are constantly setting
marks.

vauter jumping at lower height, soar far over the
bar at level he does later attain as the contest
goes
One practice which has contributed to the con-
stanty better records is the progression through the
contest The top-rank vaulter often passes his turn
when the bar is in the lower stages of the competition
and once the foot mark is reached the bar is often
raised inches rather than or as in former days
This eliminates a great deal of the wear and tear
of too many jumps.
At the moment pole strikes the box at the end of
the runway after highspeed rum the vauter suffers
terrific shock or strain AS his forward progress is
abruptly halted shock up his triceps and into
his shoulders and back, apprOximang what would be
felt if heavy blow struck between the shoulders
vaulter can take just SO many of those and he is
done for the day evening" the may be- That is
why the bar raised in greater intervals and why so
many OF the jumps at lower heights are passed.
CPL Uelses has done marvellous thing in clear
ing 10 feet With the knowledge that it is no longer i'm
possible, he can be expected to do again. and along
with him may come other gifted vaulters such as J. D.
Martin. Aubrey Dooley, Rolando Cruz and Marylands
John Belitza
is no more logical to discount what has been done
than to discount the modern homerun slugger who uses
bat with slender handle but very heavy war club
at the end or the marksman who shoots with tele-
scopic sight

down the first last hurdle or any two in the middle
disqualified.
Now the hurdles are so light and so constructed
that they are easily knocked Many hurdlers Jump
ing somewhat lower tip the hurdle over with the heel
othe forward foot and drag the trailing leg over before
the hurdle springs back upright This undoubtedly
helps toward better times The hurdler can also knock
over all 10 hurdles without any penalty In fact one
winner few years back in the Quantico Relays did
just that
Undoubtedly, the fiberglass pole does provide a
bit Of whip which could help vaulter just as the steel
pole, with its thicker middle and taper toward each
end provides little impetus on the way up The
steel pole has come in for criticism because the l6
foot mark was never attained with it.
The use of the fibergass pole calls for one added
skill not required when the other poles are used Nor
maly the vaulter has two things to do at almost the
same instant He must spring just the end pole
meets the back of the vauing box With the bergass
pole he must add to these two actions pull down on
the pole as it hits the box He must in this order hit
the back Of the box bend the pole down and spring. all
within an unreasonable passage of time If he is the
least bit off in his timing he will not clear the bar if
it is at all high.
