The pressure to make the federal ceport public was backed by Circuit Judge Earl R. Cox who appoints county welfare board members, “That report was made more than a year ago, but Mr, Gottschalk for _ some reason or other has not made it public and has not even -furnished the county board with a copy of it,” Judge Cox said. “If that report can be made ‘ public the reasons ‘for appointing a new director ‘will be apparent. 1 personally; will have nothing to: do with the selection of a new director ‘and I ‘hope he is: a Republican so no one can say that politics has anything to: do: with it” : ; “Ready to Punch Nose”

Judge Cox referred to Norman E. Isaacs; managing edifor of The Times, in heated terms about a column written recently attacking the welfare; board. He Teferred to Mr. Isaacs 88 & === =~ « =-=e- and said “I am prepared to punch him in’ the nose’ “There are a lot of. other people
