A fourth faction is trying to file. It is essential that there be harmony brought about in these opposing La Follette ¢ camps. If crookedness on the part of any politicians is causing the factionalism, the crooks should be shown up and run out. If it is inefficiency, the man responsible for the inefficiency should be made to give way to men who can run things harmoniously. As a matter of simple justice to the voters the La Follette party should Ma to it that the men who go to the polls in November to vote for La Follette have the same opportunity that is given to the men who want to vote for Cool- idge or Davis. The way the situation stands now, the prob- lem of trying to pick out the proper ticket on which to cast a vote for La Follette presents a worse nightmare than figuring out an income tax questionnaire.

Nichols flushed but did not reply. | Severyns was grilled as to his knowledge of crime and crime protection among the members of the department, Nichols fired question after question at the chief in re- gards to possible protection of the payroll bandits that have been so openly operating in the city for the past year. The chief declared he did not believe the bandits were operating under police protection. “How would you know whether or not these payroll ban- dits are operating under police protection?” Nichols asked Severyns. “T would have to rely upon my officers and the general public for my information,” the chief answered. ‘However, I do not believe that any such condition exists. “Would you be able to find out if policemen are protecting lawbreakers on their beats?” Nichols next asked. Severyns again said he must depend on his officers for his information. The investigation is being held in Severyns’ Office at the police station. Other witnesses will be called in after chief has testified, it is said. All witnesses will testify under oath. Fi No charges were made by the committee members. The investigation was to continue all day Tuesday. ‘ “Babel banda’ ©1972 NEA Service, Inc.
