PITTS PAPERS
.|MPOUNDED

Private records of G. Bryan
Pitts, former head of the F. H.
Smith Company, which were
seized by Internal Revenue agents
in a storage warehouse in Florida
and were used by the Grand jury
as the basis for an indictment
against Pitt and others, were i'm
pounded by order of Justice Jen-
nings Bailey in the District Su-
preme Court today. Prosecuting
authorities were enjoined from
making further use of the papers.
This marked Pitts second court
victory since the4first indictment
was reported against him several
years ago in connection with the
Hamilton Hotel bankruptcy pro-
ceedings. 1t is regarded as
hollow victory, however, for the
Grand Jury reported before the
relief sought was obtained.
Pitts was represented by At
torneys Leon Tobriner. Rozier Du-
Vane and Robert I. Miller.
Assistant United States Attor-
ney William A. Gallagher held
that the seizure was legal, as the
agents were searching for prop
erty of Pitts and his wife on
which to levy to satisfy alleged
delinquent income tax payments
and the records were brought be-
fore the Grand Jury in response
to a subpoena.

WELFARE HEAD
BACKS REPORT

Admission Of numerous draw
backs in the operation of the
National Training School for
Girls at Muirkirk, Md, was made
today by George S. Wilson, direc-
tor of Public Welfare.
Director Wilson made the ad-
mission in the wake of charges
by the WickerSham Law Enforce
ment Commission of bad condi-
tions existing at the institution.
The institution is small, the
director explained, having only
20 inmates. 1t is virtually i'm
possible to supply these inmates
with the proper educational and
recreational facilities, he de-
clared.
In order to perfect conditions.
Mr.. Wilson explained, it would
be necessary to have a staff of
attendants as large as the num-
Der Of inmates, but conceded
that such a step is out of the
question. Congress, he said,
would never approve an appro-
prlatlon in order to bring about
this perfection.

.RHEEM To HEAR
FATE IN COURT
TOMORROW
Youthful Mortgage Banker
To Appear in Answer to
Embe zzIement Indictment

Edmund D. Rheem, executive
vice president of Swartzell, Rheem
g. Hensey, bankrupt mortgage
banking house, is to go into court
tomorrow and probably will plead
guilty to a charge of embezzle-
ment, it was learned from reliable
sources today.
Shortly after the firm crashed
January 26. Rheem was charged
by the Department of Justice
with embezZling. He pleaded not
guilty and was released on $25,.
900 bonds. Several weeks ago
the Grand Jury returned indict-
ments against him and j. Newton
Brewer, second vice president Of
the company making the same
charge.
$4,000 Involved
The transaction on which the
charge is based involved S162, 900
in secured notes belonging to
former customers of the concern.
These had been substituted for re-
leased notes deposited with the
Washington Loan and Trust Com
pany to the credit of Rheem's
fathers estate. The secured notes
were later returned to the trMs-
tees of the bankrupt company
and distributed among the owners.
Rheem. it is learned, has been
comforting with Department Of
Justice officials for several weeks
on the criminal phase of the
crash.
Vacates His Office
1t has been generally believed
on the street that Rheem would
change his plea to guilty under
certain conditions. One of these,
it was said, was that the charges
be dropped against Brewer who, it
was stated, became involved in
the affair through obeying
Rheem'S orders.
The report that Rheeln would
plead guilty tomorrow gained
strength today when it was
learned that he had cleared his
desk at the SraWtzell, Rheem &
HenSey offices yesterday.
