Then came the turn of Bloch's co-counsel, New Yorker John Finerty, an old hand at celebrated cases (he argued for Sacco and Vanzetti, aided Tom Mooney). Finerty assailed the judgment against the Rosenbergs as "fraud" arranged by a "crooked" prosecution. Rebuked by the court, he retorted: "If you lift the stay [of the execution], then . . .

The big task for the Office of Education, he says, is to "make far greater use, in a cooperative relationship, of the several state departments of education."
