Judge Pecora Realizes Ambition M M J ,1 ,Judg« Pecora I As investigator for senate.

J?iz International Illustrated Xewt NEW YORK—lt’s often a good thing that childhood ambitions never materialize. Take, for example, the case of Ferdinand Pecora. Pecora never had the typical childish desire to become a street car motorman. or a policeman, or a railroad engineer. But he did want to be a minister. If that ambition had worked out for him. New York today would be without the services of this brilliant lawyer In his new post as judge of the state supreme court The chances are, too, many never would have heard of Ferinand Pecora, who became a national figure when he served as counsel to the senate committee Investigating practices of the nation's banks in Washington. Family Poor A native-born Sicilian who came to the United States at the age of five. Pecora gave up hopes of becoming a minister while a youth because his family was so poor. He turned to law. and once involved In that profession he set up another goal for himself. That goal, an ambition of longstanding. was to become a supreme court judge—the post he now ' 'occupies at the appointment of Governor Heibert H. Lehman of New York. Pecora has been associated w’Jb acme branch of the legal profession for most of his adult life. For 14 years before he won a' degree he worked as a law clerk. When, in 1911, he received the degree, he Immediately plunged into the career that was to bring him fame in New York City, and later, throughout the entire country. Once a lawyer, he entered politics with enthusiasm. He supported Theodore Roosevelt in the latter’s Bull Moose campaign of 1912, and became a Wilson Democrat In the race between Hughes and Wilson for the presidency in 1916. Crusader In 1917 he took part in the local campaign for Charles L, Craig who

Mr. Roosevelt warned, however, that the sum was not in budget estimates and that consideration should ’ be given to methode by which gov- ] ernment revenues can be increased , to meet this and any other new | appropriations which tend to throw the regular budget out of balance. Originally, the President had set July 1 as the date for the .pay re-

ran a successful ra<-e for comptroller of New York City. After that campaign Pecora accepted a mlix>r position in the district attorney’s office where lie distinguished himself as a fire-eating crusading prosecutor. Stepping up to the office of assistant district attorney, and later to acting district attorney, Pecora waged violent campaigns against graft and corruption. He prosecuted William H. Anderson, former head of the Antl-Saloon league, and sent him to jail on charges of forgery, lie attacked and wiped out a milk trust which had been distributing Impure milk to babies. In 12 years be prosecuted more than 1.000 cases and obtained convictions in SO per cent of them. Shelved as a Tammany candidate In 1929 for prosecutor in favor of an elderly judge. Pecora ran for the office in 1923 on the Recovery party ticket but was defeated. $7,500 a Year • While associated with the New York prosecutor’s office, he was receiving 37,500 a year. It was no | financial attraction, then, for Pecora ; when he was invited to go to WashI ington as counsel for the senate banking committee at a salary of 3255 a month. Nevertheless, he accepted the position and conducted an investigation that rocked the country. Thoroughly acquainted with the ins and outs of high finance, the grizzled investigator faced many of the nation’s most prominent bankers, including J. P. Morgan, Otto H. Kahn. Clarence Dillon and Richard E. Mitchell. As a result of the searching inquiry, considerable legislation intended for reforms in banking practices was passed by congress. Pecor* also was made a member of the federal securities and exchange commission. A fiery speaker. Pecora punctuates his arguments with forcefulness and enthusiasm. He is short and stocky and owns a pair of flashing, dark eyes. Now 53. his wiry dark hair is becoming streaked with gray.

(ure Department, and th? r#nv s hose method is both e onomiotl and efficient. He said that, unlike fur row irrigatl n. it will not erode fields. Eastern states have adopted the new and simpl r method for irrigating neaer pl nt roots, where a limited .supply of water is desii-<l. The-porous hose is made of orditt ary otnvas, eight or twelve ounces with one end closed. Water seeps gently through the fab-ric. One end of the hose is fastened to a supply pipe to which water Ls pumped at moderate pressure. Hose irrigation is believed to b? more advantageous where the ground is only slightly irregular and where the soil is either too sandy or too littivy for satisfactory furrow irrigation.
