THE OBSERVER
Whether you are a Republican or Democrat, Independent or
Liberal, read these compelling reasons why you should
Elect Emile Zola Berman
your next District Attorney
Seldom do voters anywhere have the opportunity to elect a man of Emile Zola Berman's
stature to county office. You have that opportunity. Emile Zola Berman won national fame
when he served without fee as the defender of
the Iffarine Sergeant in the Parris Island case.
His reputation is based on his passion for justice
and on his fighting belief in the majesty of the
law. Here are some of the reasons why he deserves your vote.
l.
4.
Emile Zola Berman has pledged
himself to bring new power to
bear against the two most evil
sources of crime in our county
today: organized gambling and
narcotics. He points out t h a t
there have been no Grand Jury
investigations into either of
these vicious rackets in years.
If Berman is elected, you will
see action against gambling and
narcotics.
Berman guarantees Nassau a
full-time District Attorney. The
Nassau District Attorney earns
$29,500 a year. His assistants
are well paid. Yet, as Berman
has pointed out, the majority
of the staff, including the incumbent D i s t r i c t Attorney, is
currently "moonlighting," in
private practice. Berman guarantees that he will give Nassau a
full-time District Attorney and
a full-time staff.
Read w h a t these men say about Emile Zola Berman.
E D W A R D B E N N E T T WILLIAMS
" T h e people of Nassau County a r e f o r t u n a t e indeed
t o have a candidate of Emile Zola B e r m a n ' s t r e m e n dous competence, integrity and talent offered to them
as their next District Attorney."
2.
Emile Zola Berman will bring
new life to the all but moribund
Rackets Bureau. Petty rackets
and consumer swindles in Nassau County rob your pocketbook.
The manpower is available to
stamp out these rackets. Emile
Zola Berman will put that manpower to work.
3.
While fighting organized crime,
Berman will dedicate himself to
protecting the rights of the innocent. All too often, the Office
of District Attorney tries to "set
a record" for convictions. Berman believes that the District
Attorney must be just as dedicated to protecting the innocent
as prosecuting the guilty.
5.
Berman will bring to the Office
of District Attorney 37 years of
legal experience and public service. He is one of the most successful t r i a l lawyers of t h i s
century. He has taught and lectured at more than 20 universities. And, his war record speaks
for itself: Distinguished Flying
Cross, Air Medal, Bronze Star,
all earned in action in World
War II.
FRANK O'CONNOR
District Attorney of Queens.
" I a m looking forward to working with Emile Zola
Berman as the next District Attorney of Nassau. H e
is exceptionally qualified for the office."

a trial lawyer is now offered for public service."
JOE
MCCARTHY
F a m o u s author, in Life Magazine.
" . . . a g r e a t lawyer."
6.
Emile Zola Berman will bring to
the Office of District Attorney
no political debts, no political responsibilities, no commitments
to any man or party. He will be
your District Attorney.

A u t h o r of " T h e Day Lincoln Was Shot," etc.
"I have never met a m a n better qualified for pubUc
office—on the basis of his knowledge, his experience,
and his h u m a n i t y . "
