I I a BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, NEW YORK, MONDAY, APRIL 6, 1936 3 Bars Secret Traffic Case Disposals Rule, Effective in Boro Court Today, Is Aimed at 'Fixing' of Tickets A new rule that every summons for traffic ordinance violation must be disposed of in open court went into effect in Brooklyn Traffic Court today. Chief Magistrate Jacob Gould Schurman Jr. invoked this regulation at a meeting with Brooklyn members of the Magistrate's bench Friday, it was learned. Its objective is to end, the "fixing" practice. Reports of what occurred at this meeting indicated that the magistrates welcomed the ban on "special consideration," out of the normal order of cases, for traffic violators some degree of political influence.

The Chief Magistrate would not comment on the conclusions reached at the conference, but it was learned that he read to the assembled judges the transcript of his examination of a major clerk at the Brooklyn court concerning the practice of taking papers dealing with certain offenders out of their normal position on the calendar before opens. Upholds Regular Procedure This clerk was given instructions to refuse in the future any request by a magistrate or any one else for deviation from the regular procedure in the disposition of traffic cases. Any such request in the future will have to be referred to him, Chief Magistrate Schurman ruled. Commenting later on the new rule, one representative member of the magistrate's bench declared it was more than welcome. No magistrate, he said, has anything to gain today from dealing leniently with traffic law violators on the request of a politician.

He described the "Axing" practice as a hangover from an absolete political system and a practice that lays open a good-natured judge to suspicion or the open charge of corruption, even though unjustly. He pointed out that many judges have been especially lenient in the past in cases involving poor motorists who would have to serve time in jail for lack of money to pay their fines. The Sullivan law, passed by the 1935 Legislature, reduced from $5 to $1 the minimum fine for traffic violation, he pointed out, thus permitting of a nominal fine. The Chief Magistrate's steps toward ending tramc-ticket fixing are in line with a number of other he is making in the administration of the traffic courts of the city. He has fixed $100 fine as the minimum penalty for drunken drivers and is preparing to set up 8 system whereby motorists may pay overtime parking by mail in cases where tag summonses have been issued.

The purpose of this is 1 to reduce congestion in traffic courts caused by the wholesale issuance of tag summonses when police stage their periodic wars on illegal parking. Normally the Brooklyn court handles from 5,000 to 6,000 cases a week. Bribe Jurors Query Solovei Continued from Page 1 parent today.

No one knew what was wrong with him at first. He came home one day, complained of a stomach ache. Then his eyes began to go.

His mother took him to the relief doctor and the lenses of his glasses were changed. But that didn't help any. His condition became more serious until finally he could no longer stand up. Taking a step meant disaster -his legs crumpled beneath him. His father rushed from doctor to doctor seeking advice.

The relief doctor sent the boy to Beth Moses Hospital, where he was admitted as an appendicitis patient. After three Young Charles Gilbert, a helpless cripple nine weeks collected during his stay in the hospital. Jack Dempsey and him autographed photographs posed in fighting togs. days the youngster was released. An appendectomy wasn't needed.

Diagnosed as Paralysis The search for medical advice continued. The child had to be taken back to the same hospital. The interne who carried the boy down the dark narrow stairway with the crumbling linoleum, diagnosed the case as paralysis. It was then that the doctors looked at one another. They bluntly told the father and mother that their child would never walk again.

Dr. David Gingold, supervisor of the hospital, and an outstanding child specialist, checked the symptoms carefully, He ordered typhoid. That was the beginning of Charles' real agony. His frail little body writhed beneath the white sheets as the fever of 104 degrees began inside his closely shaved head."
