Crane of the Court of Appeals, sitting as a member of the Moreland Commission in the investigation of State printing, observed sagely today that politics was bound to play a certain part in the affairs of any democracy. The philosophy of the mellowed jurist from Brooklyn who expressed in the hearing room of the Manhattan Supreme Court Building during the testimony of Dr. Laurence F. Schneckebler, a printing expert from Brooklyns Institute in Washington. Dr.

Schneckebier said he knew of no instance where politics has interfered with the efficiency of Government printing plants. The printing expert from Washington said the Government printing office does 95 percent of all the Government printing, a business of $20.000.000 a year. The advantages of the Government system, he said, were its economy, uniformity of style, certainty of delivery and the better handling of confidential matter. Two other witnesses testified at the morning session. Dr.

Estal E. Sparlin, professor of the University of Arkansas, upheld the avantages of State printing plants. He recommended their operation independent of the State purchasing agency and said they should be run in competition with private printing plants. Wadsworth W. Mount, associate director of research of the Merchants' Association of New York, the other witness, said the printer members of the association, favored the State supporting private printing.

Sylvia Pankhurst Asks U. S. Negroes To Aid Selassie London. Aug. 8 (P)-Sylvia Pankhurst, suffragist aide of Haile Selassie, whom Britain has recognized as the rightful ruler of Ethiopia, said today she was seeking to rally American Negroes to a movement to overthrow the Italians in Ethiopia.

The author and propagandist, who has been acting in liaison with Selassie's organization of his peoples while Italy is busy fighting the British, said the main need of the Ethiopians was airplanes. "American Negroes can strike a blow not only to help their own race by aiding the Ethiopians, but also for all democracy by enabling these great fighters to become active allies of Britain in the African campaign." she declared. She said she wants to enlist Negro fliers and get planes and funds for the Ethiopians. Captain Swenson, Drydock Founder Jersey City, Aug. 8-Capt.

FO IC 9-4200 FUNERAL EDWIN Bros DIRECTORS 1015 HALSEY ST BKLYN. CHAPELS QUAILABLE IN ALL COMMUNITIES. Fear that the City Court will be thrown "deep into politics" if the City Council passes the amended county office reform bills, now pending. was expressed by the Citizens Union today in a letter urging all council members to vote against the proposed measures. "It is of the greatest importance to the success of democratic institutions that the judiciary should command public respect, the Cittzens Union stated in a letter bearing the signature of George Hallett, secretary.

"The judge should not be forced into running A patronage mill which would surely forfeit that respect." Mr. Hallett said the bills, originally introduced by Minority Leader Genevieve B. Earle of Brooklyn, had been revised in committee so that the present setup of county Sheriffs and Registers would be continued with the appointing power being vested in resident justices of the City Court. The bills originally sought a single citywide Sheriff and single city Reg- ister to be appointed by the Mayor. Political Pressure Seen Sheriffs' and Registers' atfices." Mr.

Hallett continued. "are a lucrative source of political patronage. particularly the Sheriffs' offices because of their exemption from the usual civil service straints, and there could not fail to be the strongest sort of sure on the justices, from the organizations which nominated them, continue this system. Since these bills would put the justices and their appointees under no greater restraints in their appointments than are the present sheriffs and registers, and since they would zive these officials freedom to fix whatever salaries they consider reasonable without even the present legal restrictions, there is reason to fear that the present bad situation might even be made worse and that even more of the taxpayers' money than the present half of three-quarters of a million dollars a year might be wasted on useless political jobs." Dr. Robert Kingman College Hospital Medical School began in 1915.
