Roy Cohn disbarred
: -
mm
Cohn, quoted by the New York
Post in Tuesday’s editions, said,
“I feel about as concerned about
this as if Heilman’s had called
me to say they had come out
with a new brand of mayonnaise.
“They’re a bunch of cheap
politicians and I couldn’t care
less. It doesn’t bother me in the
least.”
Cohn, 59, one of New York’s
most influential and controver-
sial lawyers, has been a familiar
face from the time he was grand
inquisitor for the red-baiting Mc-
Carthy 30 years ago.
The onetime boy wonder had
been facing disbarment since
last July,

disbarment of Roy M. Cohn is
the first derailment of the fast-
paced train that has carried the
flamboyant attorney since he
first came into view in the 1950s
as a key aide to Sen. Joseph Mc-
Carthy.
The Appellate Division of state
Supreme Court, which polices
lawyers for the state, disbarred
Cohn on Monday, effective im-
•mediateiy, ruling that he
' cheated clients and lied. *
“Simply stated, the four
charges involved alleged
dishonesty, fraud, deceit and
misrepresentation,” the court
wrote in its decision.

Sid Walker is the kind of guy who’s always looking for a better way of doing things. So
when he had an idea about pouring foundations more efficiently, he pursued it. He doodled
a few sketches, built a model, and sold his company’s management on it. An idea for pour-
ing foundations may not sound very high-tech, but when you realize that Sid’s idea will
reduce the cost of providing electricity by about $200,000 every year, you know it really is a
- big idea. In fact, Sid’s idea, along with cost-saving ideas from other
employees, saved Light Company customers millions of dollars last
year alone. So if Sid’s your neighbor, shake his hand. And be glad he
works for Houston Lighting & Power.. .your Light Company.
