New Britain Attorney Convicted After Trial in Superior Court of Withholding S3,M0 Belonging to His Client.
Judge Brown Expresses Hope Other Lawyers Tempted to Use Money Under Similar Circum- stances Will Take Heed May Gain Probation.
Special to the Heraldl

Hartford, Dec. Is - Found guilty Of the charge of the embezzlement of $3.00o, Attorney $. Gerard Casale, g, Of New Britain was sentenced to six months in jail and disbarred from the practice of law in Connec- ticut by Judge Allyn L. Brown in su- perior court this afternoon.
 Judge Brown said that if full res titution is made after three or four months Of the sentence has been served he will be pleased to consid- CT an application for probation. He said he sincerely hoped that Attor- ney Casale would be able to put this incident behind him and he also hoped that his experience would be a. lesson and q warning to others who might be tempted under the stress Of circumstances to make the same mistake as Attorney Casale made.

 Acorn Continues Condemnation
 There were no words in the Eng fish language capable of adequately condemning Attorney Casale's ac- tions towards Biaforto, he declared. As soon as he saw Biaforte's bank book with $3.30O credited, he set out to get it, Alcorn declared. He was disloyal to the court and to his clients throughout the transaction and 1t was impossible to characterize what was in his mind that led him to think court would take any stock in his story that Biaforte loaned him the money. His action in the Reale and Duffy case was "reeking with dishonesty" MT. Al corn said.

Washington, Dec. IS LPt-Senate republicans were quick today 10 strike back at an attack upon Presi- dent Hoover by Senator McKellar, democrat, Tennessee, who complain cd that Mr. Hoover had never given an itemized accounting of the $l00,- 600, ,0oo food relief fund he admins tered in 1919 in Europe as Ameri- can food administrator.
 After McKellar had reiterated his complaint in asking that the provi- sion of the $l16.00U,000 employment appropriation giving the president power to allocate the funds be stricken out, Senator's Nandenberg, of Michigan, and Glenn, of Illinois, jumped into action.
 Says Implication False
 "The only implication in this as sertion," said Glenn, lis that MT. Hoover is a dishonest man and an embczzler of public funds.
 q resent the implication and l deny the insinuation.
 "I would do the same if the pres idert Of the United States were a democrat. I believe every true Amer jean resents it.
 Nandenberg said sharply nothing is more futile than an effort at this late date to tarnish the war record of Mir. Hoover as food administra- tor" ....4-
 McKeilar had called attention that the law approprating the Sl0o,00o.- u0O food relief fund for Europe In 1919, required an itemized account ing. He said Mr. Hoover had not made any, and therefore he would vote against giving him a free hand in the alIocation of the emergency construction fund.
 The Tcnnessean's charge that the president began career of utter disregard Of the proprieties of gov ernment" when he entered the White House was characterized by Glenn as unjust and made through malice and spite"
 Answers Marine Charge
 He also resented the charge that MT Hoover made indecent and il- lcgal' use of the marines in build ing his Rapidan river lodge, and the assertion that it was improper for him to usc naval vessel for his prc-iu inaugural trip to South Amer ica
 Replying 10 McKellar's terminS as "a damnablc charge" the presidents recent statement that some members were playing politics with human misery" in proposing UncmploY- ment relief remedies outsid" the ad- ninistration program, Glenn said:
 "A number of us were touched by those words, but aren't they true?
 "While We are here in short ses- sion and pressed for time we hear, and especially from the senator from Tennessee, bitter personal and partisan attacks on the president.
 If ever there was a time when party lines should be disrogarded, 1t is now"
