DUSTER PLEA BASED] ON WALKER JOKES Petition Seeking Probe of Mayor Sent New York Gov- ernor by Civic Group, By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, March 12.—Mayor Walker'’s “fiippant attitude” and “wise- cracking” were criticized in a petition to State authorities as demands for an investigation ‘of his administration gathered momentum today, A petition of the socmy “for the Pre- vention of Crime was sent to Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Legisla- ture at Albany., Without impugning % m-ynu personal integrity, it chnrged a nnem ption and urged that Sam- el Seabury be authorizeq to inaugurate a -weep!nz mquiry into the city gov- ernment, Pmo! of Intentions. “We would like to have some proof )y aggressive action that the mayor really desires a clean city,” said the pe- tition, “We doubt whether the mayor dares give it to us. “We belleve that wisecracking, the mere appointment of committees and the mayor's laissez-faire policy must end. In the presence of dastardly con- ditions already disclosed, a flippant at- titude by such a mayor as we have should be the subject of investigation.” ‘The formation of a citizens’ com- mittee of 1,000 to enlist public support for a thorough housecleaning was car- ried forward by the Citizens' Union. Dr. ‘William Jay Schieffelin, chairman, said he would invite 150 bar, religious and civic organizations to send representa- tives to a meeting. Other Groups Help. Other agencies that adopted resolu- tions. calling for immediate action were the New York Board of Trade, the Pres- byterian Union, the United Neighbor- House of New York, Inc,; rooklyn branch of the League for Po- litlcl.! Action and the Clty Affairs Com- mittee. District Attorney Thomns C. T. Crain mapped his deferse against charges of nonfeasance, made by the City Club, by asking Samuel Untermeyer to be his counsel in the impending inquiry by Commissioner Seabury. Mr. Unter- meyer, busily engaged in transit litiga- tion, took the request under advisement. Meanwhile .Mr. Seabury’s probe of the Jower courts bore further fruit. Patrolman Sydneéy D. Tait was found guilty of berjury by & jury in General Bessions Court.
