GILBERT AWARDED
VERDICT FOR $3.50
Jury Finds for Kentucky Rep
resentative in Suit Against
No0nan.

A jury In Municipal Court last night
returned verdict for $3.50 in favor Of
Representative Ralph Gilbert, Democrat
of Kentucky, in his suit for $3.50 against
John J. Noonan, prominently identified
in the fight for reduced car fares for
school children here. Judge James A:
Cobb presided
The testimony at the trial which
lasted two days, was to the effect that
in March, 1929, when Gilbert ceased to
be member of Congress, Noonan hired
him as an attorney to press the fight
for reduced car fares. The agreement
was that Gilbert was to get $500 if he
lost the fight and 81 coo if he won. He
was paid $3.50 in cash and $500 for eX-
penses.
In March, 1890, Gilberts work dis
satisfied Noonan and the latter dis
charged him. A year later Congress
passed an act making it mandatory for
the Public Utilities Commission to re-
duce car fare for school children to not
more than 3 cents, whereupon Gilbert
entered suit for the difference between
the $3.50 he had received and the 81 600
agreed upon If his work was successful.
TeStifying in his own bohalf, Gilbert,
who has returned to Congress at the
present session, said that at the time
Mr.. Noonan discharged him everything
had been done that could be done to
| secure passage of the legislation, which
occurred year later. He said that al
though his headquarters during his
service were in Shelbyville, KY, he
was always available for work in Wash
| ngtcn, and came here every time he
was needed, and would have come
oftener, but Noonan wouldn't let him.
He said his work was satisfactory to
Mr.. NoOnan and introduced numerous
letters from Mr. Noonan to establish
his point. He said he was astounded
when Noonan told him over the tele-
phone one day that his services were
not satisfactory, as that was the first
time IN his 25 years experience as a
lawyer that such thing had happened.
Cross-examined by Martin O'Dono-
ghue of counsel for Noonan, Mr.. Gill
bert said that at the time of his en-
ployment by NoOnan he was also receiV-
ing $4,000 year and expenses from
the Government for work in connection
with the John Rogers Clark SeSquicen-
tennial, and that on some of the trips
to Washington when he charged Noonan
expenses he probably did some work for
that organization, but that he never
charged double expenses.
The defense introduced records from
the controller generals Office to show
that Gilbert received $83 from the Gov
eminent on vouchers dated June Is to
u, including the cost Of trip to Wash
ington, and Gilbert admitted receiving
check for Sl00 from Noonan for trip
to Washington June l8 in connection
with the car fare case.

COL UMBIA AND WJSV
MERGER RUMORED AGAIN
Officials and Station Owners, How
ever, Lend No Credence to
Reports.

Reports that the Columbia Broad
casting System is negotiating to take
over and operate station WJSV under
lease were revived today in radio cir
cles. Columbia officials in Washington
and owners of the station declined,
however, to give any credence to the
rumors.
Ever since the Federal Radio Com
mission declined several months ago to
grant Columbia authority to erect q
booster station in Washington to syn
chronize with WABC. its "key' station
in New York, there have been recurring
reports of Columbia's desire to get con-
troll of WJSV.
Coupled with this rumor was another
to the effect that should Columbia re-
linquish WMAL as its Washington out
let, the National Broadcasting Co. would
Immediately lease this station and use
it for distribution Of its blue" network
programs.
WRC, now a split" network station
using both red" and blue" network
programs, under such an arrangement,
it was said, would broadcast red" net
work programs exclusively. Thus N.
B. c. would have two outlets in WASH
