JUSTICE WEIGHS
PLEA OF BEARD
u. S. Claims indictment for
Gambling Not InvaIidated
by H. O. l.. c. Loan

District Supreme Court Justice Os-
car r. Luhring yesterday took under
adyisement the attack made by Sam
Beard and IL associates on an indlct-
ment charging them with violating the
gambling laws.
Beard and the other defendants,
through Attorney John r. Sirica, con-
tend the indictment is invalid because
one of the grand jurors, Mrs. Elizabeth
Downey, 7107 Georgia avenue, had
borrowed money from the Home Own
ers' Loan Corp, thereby disqualifying
herself as juror in criminal case.
The Governments reply, presented
BY Assistant United States Attorneys
John w. Fihelly and Roger Robb, was
based on two theories. First, that
the borrowing Of money from the H.
o. l.. c. was not such a contractual
relationship with the Government as
has been held to disqualify juror.
The second ground was that re-
cent act of Congress provided that the
disqualification of one or more grand
Jurors would not invahdate an indict-
ment provided at least IL duly quail
fed Jurors voted for it.
Judge Luhring is expected to pass
first upon the qualifications Of Mrs
Downey and then upon the constitu-
tionality of the congressional act.

pervise Employment
of Needy.

BY the Associated Press.
A million and a halt men reached
today for the hoes, hammers and
shovels they dropped last week-but
they are relief workers now instead Of
c. w. A. employees.
State relief administrations assumed
the job f seeing that work up to "a
hours week goes to those who other
wise might be hungry.
Conceding the faults Of the Civil
Works Administration experiment,
Harry L. Hopkins, administrator, nev-
ertheless declared it a major success.
Hopkins is probably the only man
in history who ever directed the hiring
and then the firing of 100000 men
in so short time.
10000, Still on Rolls.
About 100000 persons still are
claSsed as c. W. A. employees, but they
too will be dropped in the next four
weeks. They are the clerks and audi
tors closing the administrations books
and some research workers on Federal
projects.
The Federal administration, in
handing over the destiny of the re-
manning civil works employees to the
State relief administrations, did not
give up all contact with them.
The Fedora Emergency Relief Ad-
ministration and the Civil Works Ad-
ministration are both headed by
Hopkins. In most States the relief
administration and Civil Works Ad-
ministration have been identical.
BETTER Supervision Seer.
The relief administrators, however,
will be better able, they say, to de-
termine, under the ne set-up, just
who is in actual need of the work to
provide food and clothing for their
families.
Each person given work on the new
set-up will be investigated by expert
social service workers. If found to

to make his budget balance, the ap-
plicant will be given direct relief in
the form of food and clothing. II

Many of the civil works employees
have gone back into private industry
