AAUPTMANN DROPS HIS LAWYE /
Beard Calls
Indictment
huQHd

Using a loan made by the Home
Owners Loan Corporation to a
member of the District Grand
Jury as a weapon, Sam R. Beard.
we'll known local sportsman, and
Is other men today contended two
indictments returned against them
a few days ago on gambling
charges in District Supreme Court
were invalid.
In the event the move on the
part of the accused is successful,
the Government undoubtedly will
be forced to drop all indictments
returned by the Grand Jury dur
ing the past month and present
the cases to another inquiSitorial
body.
Filing a plea in abatement
against the indictments, John j.
Sirica, counsel for the defendants,
stated that Mrs. Elizabeth G.
Downey, a member of the jury,
had obtained a loan from the
Hole last May II. He pointed
out that this constituted a con-
tract with the Government and
contended it barred her from sit
ting on the jury.
Assistant U. S. Attorney Roger
Robb said a law passed by Con
gress last April 80 would be in.
voked to protect the indictments.
This law provides a plea in
abatement may not be sustained
when one member of a grand
jury is found unqualified when
it may be proved that II or
more members of the jury voted
for the indictment.
Arrangement of Beard and the
other men was postponed pending
a hearing.
Leslie Garrett, United States
Attorney, said the Government
would excuse Mrs. Downey from
further service on the jury, but
all indictments brought during
her service would be defended
under the law.

WILSON CASE
HELD NEAR
SOLUTION
Definite Data Pointing to
Gang Claimed by Police After
| GriIIing of Mcdonald

Certain definite information
which it is said will solve the
slaying Of Allen B. Wilson, inno-
cent victim of gambling war,
has been unearthed by the COM
bined forces of Washington, Balti-
more and Montgomery county
police who are working on the
case.
The police, however, are closely
guarding the information, in the
hope Of trapping the gunner.
For hours yesterday the police
drilled Mickey" Mcdonald, sports
man, in front Of whose home Mr..
Wilson was shot to death.
No charge was placed against
Mcdonald, who police believe
was the intended victim Of the
gunner, but he was taken to the
court house at Rockville.

need for additional police to af-
ford proper protection to the Dis
hict.

NEW RELIEF
ED|CT, WORK
Or STARVE'
Helpless Only to Receive Dole
Under 12-BiIIion Federal
Program
BY EARL GOODWIN
"WOrk or starve,"

That is the slogan on which
the President and his advisers
are building up the most gigantic
program of work-relief ever
undertaken by any people in the
history of the world.
1t means that direct relief Is
doomed, except for those whose
condition removes them from the
possibility Of work or employment
of any sort. 1t sounds the death
knell of the chiseler.
1t means that the great cry
for work instead of charity" has
impressed the Administration. 1t
means that whereas unemploy-
ment is still widespread and pri-
vate industry so far has failed
to respond to the whip and spur
of the Presidents urging, the
Government is going into big
business in a big way, to put
every unemployed man and
woman at a job he or she can
best do. at a fair pay-not at
dole wages.
Home, building First
The .-aOt 0f the next relief
and work program, which is now
being made by President Roose-
welt and his associates, is the big
house-building project about which
a few Spurts of news shoot out
from the White House from time
to time.
Although the President said last
Wednesday that he had not the
foggiest idea" as to the amount
to be involved, it is known that
the most practicable plan which
will cover the immediate objec-
tives is a 10000 million dollar
program. One high Administra-
ton official had a $4,000 million
dollar plan for restoring the job
less to their jobs.
Self-Liquidat ton, Aim
Extensive studies are being car
ried out under the FERA to find
out exactly what jobs are to be
filled; what each unemployed man
and woman has been trained to
do. This will give a complete
picture Of the gap to be filled.
PWA is to slack off: direct
relief is to be discontinued except
to actual unemployables; and the
Government money is to be put

Own Story of Collapse of

matte story of his rise and fall
in one hour today before the
Federal Court jury which is try
ing him, his son and IS others
on charges of using the mails to
defraud.
When court recessed, his at
torney, Floyd Thompson, an
nounced insult would be turned
over to the Government for cross
examination when court recon
vened after noon.
The closing hour of insults d.
rect testimony dealt with the last
days of the crumbling of the gil
gantic insult utility structure and
his flight from Chicago to Europe.
Tells of Flight
Confidentially and without
apology, insult told the jurors and
the crowded marble-walled court
room of Judge James H. Wilker-
son that the purpose of the flight
was to give his successors a chance
to work olt their salvation and
the salvation Of the insult COM
panies without. his presence.
After his arrival in Europe his
efforts to resist extradition to the
United States were based on his
conviction that his prosecution
was a political campaign, the U.s.
year-old witness said.
Earlier in his testimony he
limited Of "rumor campaign"
against him and his companies.
He said rumors against him we're
widely circulated in Wall and La
Sale Streets.
Special Assistant Attorney Gen.
eral Leslie Salter was scheduled
to take charge of the crosS-exam-
nation of the fallen utilities king
and insult faced the prospect OF
an ordeal that probably would last
through the rest of the day.
Voice Clear, Firm
insult appeared IN cOurC WIN d
brisk step and told the closing
chapters of his billion-dollar saga
swiftly and confidently. His voice
was clear and firm and. when he
stepped from the witness chair, he
appeared little shaken. A hint of
smile was etched beneath his
neatly trimmed moustacheS and
the old man seemed pleased he
was nearing the end of his court
room appearances.
Beside insult stood his attorney,
former Judge Floyd E. Thompson,
who prompted the fallen financier
and patron of the arts as he un-
folded the Success story" which
paved the way for the telling Of
less happy days when insults COM
panies crashed.
Mrs. insult beamed as her huS-
band took the witness chair. She
wore a tan frock with a brown
velvet turban and carried a
lorgnette.
