H. Hanford of yesterday while under fire of a congressional Investigtaing committee, generally take the view that Hanford's retirement was prac- tieally a confession of guilt. Pollowing are some of the editorial comments on the situation: SAN FRANCISCO NEWS—“EXIT A SACRED JUDGE “Kederal Judge Hanford, who has resigned to escape further dis » will be missed from the bench—iadly missed by the people ys he is proud of the enemies he has made. May he find consola- tion in bis declining years with the big interests he has so well served. “It may be argued that Hanford's resignation onder fire of almost certain impeachment demonstrates that the judicial recall ts unneces .

Revelations of misconduct brought out &t the-inquiry only go to show that he has been grossly unfit for the posit: for many years.” PORTLAND !CURNAL—“GUILTY” “sudge Hanford resigns. “it is equivalent to a plea of guilty. It is a surrender under fire It able to disprove all the charges, Judge Hanford would have welcomed impeachment proceedings as a means of exoneration. If he believed the accusations false, Judge Hanford would not have feared to face his accusers in an open hearing, with the United States senate as the trial court. As it is, he refuses to defend himself, and resigns to pre- Yent the house of representatives from bringing impeachment pro- ings. z “We are sorry for Judge Hanford, sorry for the courts and sorry the American public. It is all a mournful tragedy of the bench.” TACOMA TRIBUNE—JUDGE HANFORD’S RESIGNATION “In view of all the complications that have developed in the con- #ressional investigation of Judge Hanford’s career, it may be for the best that he has decided to resign his position, but in some respects his resignation will be regretted, particularly if it puts an end to the inquiry into the merits of his decision cancelling the citizenship papers of Leonard Olsson.” PASADENA NEWS-—-HANFORD RESIGNS UNDER FIRE yhettier or.not the threatened involvment of former Secretary of| the Interior Richard A.

If fhis voluntary retirement ts to have the effect of shutting off an in Yestigation of matters that the people are entitled to know, the action is to be regretted.” TACOMA TIMES—ANOTHER PEOPLE'S VICTORY Overwhelmed with the burden of evidence brought. forward against him, Judge Hanford quit the federal bench yesterday to stop the government from further looking into his record—and to save his friends and allies.
