The Mayor Agrees The Mayor was a trifle more wary | in his remarks but left the clear | impression that he was fundamen- tally in agreement with the other speakers. “I know,” he said, “that Judge | Panken will have a successful career in the Domestic Relations Court be- cause we all know his understand- ing of the economic conditions con- fronting the larger number of fam- ilies brought iito this court. In times of economic distress people become irritable.” Emphasizing the political impli- cations of the ceremony, the Mayor said: “The thing we are doing today will make such a profound tm- pression on the community that this work will be carried on.” Mention was made in a number of the speeches to Panken’s pre- vious work on the bench. No one said anything, however, of the evic- tion notices signed by Panken dur- ing that term. Judge Panken addressed himself to Mayor LaGuardia in his speech. Stating that he did not know whether to cal Fim ‘ayor” La- Guardia or “Brother” LaGuardia, Panken thanked the latter and Pledged that he would work “with humane approach, with sympathy and understanding.” His work would be “rahibilita- tion.” the Judge said. “A city with one-fifth of its people on relief must have its thousands. of fami- lies broken up with hatreds.” Will Be a Socialist Panken saw no contradiction be- tween accepting an appointment from Mayor LaGuardia and his So- | Cialist ideals, he indicated. “Finally, I come to this bench as a Socialist. I shall apply that Philosophy of life which has caused me to accept the prin- ciples which have guided my life.” He “would seek the causes to treat the effects,” he concluded. Among informed observers there is the distinct feeling that this marks the wedlock of. Fusion and the right wing of the Socialist Party. That it is in utter con- tradiction with the sentiment | within the Socialist Party is in- dicated by the fact that Panken’s own branch, the Greenwich. Village branch of the S.P., two weeks ago unanimously condemned his ac- ceptence of the LaGuardia appoint- ment. Among people close to local poli- tics it is well-known that Panken’s appointment came after a long series of strike-breaking work done for the administration by Panken. In particular, Panken’s work in dis- rupting the ranks of the taxi strik- ers last Winter and sending them back to work without any gains is considered the main reason for his appointment to the bench. Similar appointments will follow, it is believed. This is particularly true, it is held, in view of the fact a Tammany Comptroller has been elected, thus weakening the Fusion majority in the Board of Estimate and making it necessary for La- Guardia to prepare new alliances | more swiftly and more openly than has heretofore been the case.
