Question Flag Salute
Tivelve-year-old Dorothy Leoles (left), who, through her
father, George Leoles (right), yesterday asked the Supreme
Court to rule on the constitutionality of an Atlanta, Ga„ Board
of Education regulation requiring oil pupils in the public school
to salute the American flag.
The court ivas asked to review a decision by the Georgia
Supreme Court sustaining the regulation and approving her
suspension from school for refusing to comply. She contends
the flag-saluting requirement denied her constitutional “right
to worship God according to the dictates of her own conscience.”
Attorneys for the Board of Education asked the court to dismiss
the petition “for want of jurisdiction” or to affirm the decree
of the Georgia court. —A. P. Photo.
Three Members Indicted on
Pay Roll or Expense Ac
count Charges.
By the Associated Pres*
BUFFALO, N. Y., Dec. 4—Buffalo’s
city affairs investigation brought
trouble tonight to the very doors of the
Common Council which launched it.
Three members of the council stood
indicted by the Erie County grand
jury on charges involving the city pay
roll or traveling expense accounts.
A councilman-elect also was indict
ed on a pay roll charge, as was an
official formerly hired by the city to
supervise Works Progress Adminis
tration Jobs.
Private Cititen Accused.
Latest of the grand Jury’s charges
made public today is that James
Maloni, a private citizen, also took a
hand hi alleged pay roll deception by
“falsely testifying" that he was the
mysterious “James Malone” listed on
the city pay rolls as a W. P. A. super
visor. Identity of "Malone” has been
a focal point in the investigation.
Maloni was arrested today on a per
jury charge.
Arraigned with him later was Coun
cilman-elect Georges. Reilly, who was
accused by the grand jury of getting a
city job under the name of “James
Malone” and collecting four weeks'
pay.
Yesterday Councilman at Large
Richard A. Cantlin and former W. P.
A. Field Engineer Frank J. Whalen
were arraigned on a charge of conspir
ing to get Reilly on the pay roll.
Two other councilmen, Joseph A.
Kaminski and Anthony F. Dropik,
were arraigned on charges of present
tag false expense accounts. All plead
ed Innocent and were released In ball.
Reilly is a Republican. The other
councilmen are Democrats.
Center of the investigation is Buf
falo’s City Hall Tower, a 33-story gilt
ornamented skyscraper. The lofty
windows of the council chamber look
out over Lake Erie steamer lanes, steel
mills and grata elevators, and a web
of railroads.
This handsome tower has been
rocked since last election day by a
succession of charges affecting the city
administration.
Just before election the Democratic
controlled council created a special
committee and hired a young lawyer,
Frank G. Raichle, to investigate pay
rolls.
On election day Republicans swept
into power, winning all contested offi
ces except that of Mayor.
On the morning after election May
or-Elect Thomas L. Holling, an inde
pendent Democrat, paid a surprise
visit to City Hall at 8:30 am., the
official opening time, and reported he
found only a few employes at work.
On the same day the Common Coun
cil met and dissolved the pay roll in
vestigating committee. Investigator
Raichle, protesting that his Job was
only partly done, wrote a letter to the
council making charges of pay roll
irregularities. Then the district at
torney’s office and grand jury began
to act.
