Borkin, a lawyer and au thor of two other widely read works, spent 10 years compil ing information to chronicle the first book ever written on the subject of judicial cor ruption in America. Publisher is Clarkson N. Potter, Inc., New York City. "There have been compar atively few corrupt Judges in the past," he said In an Inter view, "but the effects of their corruption has reflected on the character of the whole bench." Trying Times He said, however, "These are trying times for Judges of weak character and bad in vestments. The stock market crash earlier this year was exactly the sort of economic crisis that tests a Judge's hon esty in the face of financial disaster." The pattern of the past,' he wrote in the book, has been for "unsettled economic con ditions, particularly those as sociated with a depression, coupled with a deteriorating state of a Judge's financial condition, (to) produce a cli mate In which judicial cor ruption can flourish." He said "Insolvency and fi nancial difficulty - resulting from failing investments -are the worst diseases that can afflict a Judge. The pres sure of creditors, plus at tempts to recoup, have led to ever deeper involvement. "Not only were these judges easy marks for corruptors," he wrote, "but they them selves were driven to place their Judicial function on the I Baosk for chpistmas Wr- Flamestone: Coffee Pot. 15.95 tgg Creamer &, Sugar, 10.95 Slaved Teak Oval Tray: 21". 14.95; 24",I6.95; 27", 18.95 Li'lni j Fjord Bar Set 3 Pc. 13.95 Wrought Iron "Designs with Light" Candle Tree 16.95 Cloverleaf Pair 5.95 4 Half Shell Sticks 9.95 6 S Curve Sticks 12.95 6 Triangle Sticks 10.95 Blossom Holder With 12 15" Candles 5.95 r " : .' 1 Variations IV: Salad Servers, 8.00 A New and Exciting Gift "FINNISH ACCENT" 60 RADIANT COLORS Mats $1.95 Napkins $1.00 Tablecloth $10.95 PURE LINEN MACHINE WASHABLE DYEFAST Cloths Now In 2 Sizes 48x58 10.95 o0x90 21.95 A Handmade Gilt ef lasting Beauty Second Floor Kobenstyle: 2 Qt.

Many businessmen and even some Judges, he noted, "are bound to have suffered finan cial losses in the 1962 stock market crash. Their mutual difficulties might drive some of them together into mutu ally agreeable transactions to cover these losses." Statements Urged To prevent the emergence of new corrupt Judges, he said, the supreme court should step in under its rule making power and require statements from all circuit and district court judges re garding their extrajudicial business activities. Borkin suggested that "these reports, of course, should remain confidential, available only to the (su preme) court and a special master, to be appointed with the power to call for further data if necessary." Without interfering with the right of a judge to invest and manage his assets, he said, "lawyers, litigants, colleagues and the public generally could rest more securely con fident that a judge's private business activity is within the bounds of propriety and legal ity." "The Corrupt Judge" scans the history of misconduct in the U.S. Federal judiciary, with depth studies of the cases of three of the most prominent judges to fall from the bench. Three Identified These three were: Martin T. Manton, senior judge of the U.S. 2nd circuit appeals court, convicted in 1939 of a charge of "conspiracy to sell justice," fined $10,000 and sentenced to two years in prison; John Warren Davis, senior judge of the U.S. 3rd circuit appeals court, whose resignation waiving pension and retire ment rights in 1941 stopped impeachment p r o c e edings; and Albert W. Johnson, fed eral judge of the middle dis trict of Pennsylvania, who also chose retirement and re nunciation of pension rights to halt impeachment proceed ings. Borkin commented that "when one considers that at least two of the bribes made to federal judges were in ex cess of $250,000, one can readily see how even a few corruDt Judges can poison the well of Justice." In 1942, Borkin was co-author of a study of cartels -"Germany's Master Plan, the Story of the Industrial Offen sive" - which reached the best seller lists. He co-authored "Television: A Struggle for Power," in 1938.
