Policeman. Meantime, Referee Seabury's inquiry into the lower courts, oldest of his three current inquisitions, suddenly bore more fruit after a hiatus of several weeks. Policeman Richard B. Ganly, onetime vice squad member, was sentenced to from four to eight years in Sing Sing for testifying falsely against a woman in a specious prostitution case. Policeman Ganly is the second vice squad man to .be sentenced from testimony dug up by the Seabury investigation. His counsel pleaded that he be sent to a Federal penitentiary rather than to the State's prison. Two months ago Policeman Ganly...
...Labor employment agency (now placing 1,300,000 workers per year) and set up new and larger machinery for co-ordinate job-finding between the Federal and state governments. President Hoover's major reaction to the bill was, he said, a fear that it would create a hiatus between the old and new systems which would hurt, not help, joblessness.

But in Britain party organization is not so strong, individual leadership more important. It is no new thing for brilliant, erratic Winston Churchill to leave the Conservative fold. In 1906 he left to become a Liberal. In 1915 he left the Liberals...
Daugherty, Stone, Sargent. Almost at once the Drys became dissatisfied with this arrangement. They quickly discerned a hiatus between the Treasury's arrests and the Department of Justice's prosecutions. Evidence collected by Treasury agents was inept, failed to stand up in court. Little or no cooperation between the departments developed. Complaints began to arise against Secretary Mellon whom the Drys suspected of being, at best, only lukewarm toward Prohibition. A change to the Department of Justice, the Government's enforcing arm for all other Federal criminal statutes (except those of the Post Office Department) was soon...
