He said the "impact has been catastrophic." "The federal government cannot make the proper decisions to suit the needs of a particular section of a particular state," Hall said.

Jessie Bell Weathers to Police Chief Found Guilty Of Perjury SEATTLE (AP) A federal court Jury found former Asst. Seattle Police Chief M.E. Cook guilty of perjury Thursday on charges that he lied to a grand jury about knowledge of a police payoff and shakedown system. The 12-day trial shook the Seattle Police Department as a procession of officers, tavern owners and bartenders testified to a payoff system under which officers may have received $140,000 a year for 30 years. The city's acting police chief, Frank Moore, became ill last week and Mayor Wes Uhlman replaced him with Charles Gain, police chief in Oakland, Calif.

Uhlman said Gain would be on leave of absence from Oakland until a new permanent chief can be named in Seattle. Cook, 56, who retired in May alter 29 years on the force, was allowed to remain free on his own recognizance. Sentencing was set for Aug. 10. The jury of seven men and five women got the case Wednesday and deliberated for a total of 11 hours.

Cook testified that he at no time participated in a shakedown system or had personal knowledge of payoffs to policemen in the Seattle department. He said he had heard rumors of payoffs but said he had found no evidence to support them. U.S. District Judge William J. Lindberg earlier this week struck one of three perjury charges against Cook.

He was convicted on the other two charges In. which the grand jury said Cook denied knowledge of officers being involved in shakedowns and being paid off by owners of gambling establishments.

VV7 Vsl II I v-y II S7S7 Judges Find Prison Life Taste Bitter By MARTY THOMPSON (Associated Press Writer RENO, Nevada (AP) was appalled at the homosexuality out there," said one of 23 Judges who spent a night in a state prison here. The comment by District Court Judge John Fitzgerald of Le Center; Minn. was echoed time and again Thursday as the other jurists described their ex-periences. Homosexuality is "far less here than in great big institutions," Warden Carl Hocker said in reply, "because of the small size of the prison and amount of surveillance." "The State of Nevada would do a great service today to get two bulldozers out there and tear the damn thing to the ground," said Judge E.

Newton Vichers of Topeka, Kan. He told of convicts who "raved, screamed and rubbed cans against the wall during the night." "We've got to get half-way houses," Vickers said. "Something to help these guys when they get out. I was like an animal. I was in a cage.

"I kept hoping each hour was going by. 1 Superior Court Judge Robert J. Bryan of Port Orchard, and Superior Court Judge Irwin Cantor of Phoenix, were among five judges to spend the night in maximum security in solitary 4 confinement in an area called "The Hole." Automatic toilets in each bare, one-man cell in "The Hole" flush every seven minutes with a "long, deep roar" that Bryan and Cantor said kept them awake through a night punctuated by profane shouts from inmates. "The language was terrible," Bryan said. "But it was no worse than in the Army or any other place where men are together without women.

"Except for protection of society in some cases, there is no good reason to lock a man up with nothing to do," Bryan said, adding that he understood 29 days in "The Hole" is common. "This is not solving disciplinary problems: in Jhe prison. It solves imniediate problems but not future problems." The judges volunteered to enter the prison at nearby Carson City as part of their learning experience in the National College of State Trial Judges at the University of Nevada-Reno campus. The prison has 650 inmates, about evenly divided between maximum and minimum security sections. Most of the judges stayed in dormitores in the minimum security section, where there are no barred doors and convicts sleep on bunks.

The judges were processed as ordinary prison ers. They were stripped and put in blue denims for their stay. The visit was called "a real contribution to the morale of the inmates and the staff" by Warden Hocker, who added: "An impression tends to grow up in inmates minds they are reject ed." Most judges said they had visited their home state prisons, but none had spent a night in a cell. "One judge said he had never visited his state's institution and it was his firm intention to do so," Hocker noted. "I've been accused by one or two of my fellow judges or being too lenient," said Circuit Judge Plummer M.
