January, 1953 NEW OFFICERS FOR 1953 At our Annual Meeting, December 15th, 1952, the following officers for 1953 were elected by unanimous vote. John T. Ogden ....................... President Lawrence S. Mayers .................... 1st Vice-President Bernhard K. Schaefer ................. 2nd Vice-President Harold S. Bailey ...................... Treasurer Newcomb Debevoise Cole ............... Secretary The Association is pleased to announce the appointment of Frank H. Gordon as its Assistant Counsel. Mr. Gordon comes to us with unusual qualifications. He is Chief Attorney to the Committee on Grievances of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York. For many years, he was an Assistant United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York. After a war service of five years in the Army, on his return from Germany, he was appointed a Special Assistant to the Attorney Gen- eral. In that capacity, he served principally with the Anti Trust Divi- sion until he was requisitioned by Hon. John F. X. Mc Gohey, then United States Attorney, to assist in the indictment and trial, and later the appeal of the Communist Leaders in the famous conspiracy case before Judge Medina. Mr. Gordon served as Chief of the United States Attor- -ney's trial staff in that case, and is thoroughly familiar with Com- munists, their techniques, and their plans and aims. This familiarity began in the late thirtys when he participated in the conviction of Earl Browder for passport fraud. * * * President Ogden and your Executive Committee, feeling that a prime need of our Southern District was to have our jurors better informed and educated as to their duties, and wanting a greater program of mem- bership participation, organized a Panel Forum which was held last May. The attendance was excellent. As Panel Members, we had Judge Knox and Judge Kaufman, Mr. Tuttle, our United States Attorney Myles Lane and Mr. Shaw. Each represented a phase of Jury Activity - Judge, Attorney, and Foreman. Our idea.was that each of these gentlemen would talk for about 15 minutes about the Grand Jury as he saw it - and then we would have a question and answer period. Our plans misfired a little. The speakers ran over their time and for one reason and another, it was 11 o'clock before we knew it. Therefore, only a few questions were asked. In spite of this, it was felt that the meeting was a good one; an excellent first effort. The response of those members present at our Annual Meeting on December 15th, indicated that another such Forum would be welcome in 1953. The Annual Meeting of the Association was held at the Hotel Warwick on December 15th. The attendance, estimated at approximately 175, was about the same as in recent years, and included association members, panel members, and guests in equal proportions. Chiefly under consid- eration was the question of the interference and pressure brought to
