JHOPES FOR POST

OF PROSECUTOR

Ex-Juvenile Court Referee Promises Active Part in .

Criminal Trials.

Robley E. George, attorney and former juvenile court referee, today announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination as prosecutor in the May 5 primary. In his announcement, Mr. George said that if nominated and elected, he would assume his duties “with vigor and forcefulness” and would take “an active part in the trial of criminal prosecutions, willing to shoulder the responsibility of their outcome.” “A further need,” he said, “is the services of a competent .and qualifled person to investigate the welfare of children involved in default divorce cases. By statute, it is the duty of the prosecuting attorney to defend and represent the interests of the state in divorce actions not defended by the parties to the ‘action. Check on Facts Suggested “The practice has been for a deputy prosecutor to be present in eourt on the day of trial of default divorce cases, examine the complain and make such defense as

‘the can without previous preparation {or investigation. And if children

are involved, the prosecutor, and consequently the courh are without information to properly determine the question of their custody. “I propose that one of the in-

training and experience to in-

welfare of all children involved in default divorce actions prior to the time of trial, thus being in a position to furnish the court with sufficient information to determine the ques-] tion of their custody and imake reasonable provision for their welfare.” ; He also pledged that if elected he

‘would “lend my full aid to the

prosecution of such heinous crimes as the present wave of criminal assaults upon our women and children, with a determination that our community shall be rid of such vicious criminals. And with the young men in military service stationed at nearby military posts, there is a crying need that vice and

.»|immeorality be held at a minimum.”

Prefers Use of Summens Mr. e said he favored swift administration of justice and the use of summons instead of warrants for the arrests of local citizens. After his graduation from the University of Machigan law school, Mr. George was associated with the firm of Means and Buenting until his appointment as juvenile court referee. He served in this post for two years and now is associated with Edwin Ryan in law practice. He is a member of the Indianapolis Bar association, Lawyers’ association, Monument Lodge F. and A. M., Scottish Rite and Murat Shrine. He has been an active party worker for years and is a member
