MOTION is DENIED
IN WARR|NC CASE
Bill of Particulars Refused
in Charges Involving
Alleged Gambling.

Requiring the Government to be
more specific with regard to the place
charged in the indictment, District
Court Justice Bolitha Laws today
handed down an opinion dismissing,
for the most part, a motion for a bill
of particulars requested by counsel for
the Warning brothers and two others
indicted on charges of conspiracy TO
defraud the Government of income
taxes from profits alegedly realized
from the numbers game.
Those under indictment are En-
mitt. Leo and Charles Richard (Rags)
Warning; Gordon L. R. Sadur, tax
accounting firm head. and his brother
in-law and employe, Henry L. Sherr.
Giving the name of the State
would suffice" Justice Laws said in
overruling each of the several motions
of the defendants except that with
respect to the averment as to the
places of the alleged conspiracy.
With regard to this motion, he felt
that further particularly should be
required by alleging whether it Will
be proved at the trial that . con.
spiracy of the character charged oc-
CURED in any Jurisdiction other than
the District and Maryland.
United States Attorney David A.
Pine and Assistant United States At
torney John j. Wilson indicated that
the jurisdiction probably would be
stated as the District.
Justice Laws said the Government
should definitely inform the defend
ants whether the language referred to
In the indictment actually is sur
plusage, and If not and a conspiracy
is to be proved in other Jurisdictions,
the Government should inform the
defendants what those jurisdictions
are.
In written opinion. the first of
its kind he has handed down since
assuming the bench early last month,
Justice Laws said he has not as
sumed that any of the defendants
might be gangsters and I have not
taken into consideration the fact that
the Indictment has charged certain
defendants as being engaged in gam
bling" He said he did not believe
the court should presume anything ex-
cept the defendants are innocent until
and unless they are convicted.
The books of the defendants, if ac-
curate, should serve as sufficient basis
to refuteH any claims of the Govern
ment as to deductions by way of ex-
penses to which, they were or were not
entitled in arriving at gross incomes
for the years mentioned in the in
dictment, Justice Laws wrote.
Defense counsel, former United
States Attorney Leo A. Rover, Irwin
Goldstein, Harry T. Whelan and Will
liam B. O'Connell, sought to require
The Government to give the names.
places and persons to whomf alleged
protection money was paid, as we'll
as other information, but Mr.. Pine re-
sisted this motion on the ground the
defendants were seeking to get evil
dence from the Government in ad-
vance of trial.

new TREATMENTS
FORCANCER AIRED
Radioactive Salts Put in
Blood Stream Are Amonu
Possibilities.

New possibilities in the treatment OF
cancer through atom smashing ma
chimes which are creating new forms
of matter were considered at the meet
ing of the National Cancer Advisory
Council at the National Institute of
Health here yesterday.
Artificially created RADIO active salts
which can be injected into the blood
stream or even swallowed in "a glass
OF water and which will be carried to
all tissues of the body without injury
to the patient are among the prospects.
At present cancerous growths in
accessible to X-rays can be reached by
the even more powerful cell-killing
beta rays of radium in the form Of tiny
needles filled with radon gas, the first
breakdown product of radium, and in
serted surgically close to the malignant
tumor. The action. however, is strictly
localized, The radium emanations
move only short way through tissue,
and naturally are practically useless
against widely diffused cancer or one
whose cells have spread widely through
the body tissues.
Would Kill Patient.
A generalized action might be oh
tanned by feeding radium or by in
jecting a radirm solution into the
blood stream, but it would kill the
patient. The potency of radium
lasts for about $500 years without
sensible diminution. As much of the
element as remained in the body would
continue to shoot out its cell killing
bullets" as long as the person lived
In addition radium has a tendency
to settle in the bones and attack the
red-blood forming principle in the
bone marrow. This results in an
inevitably fatal anemia, such as at
tracted a great deal of attention a
few years ago when it attacked women
working In plants where radium paint
was used to paint the numbers on
watch dials.
Some of the new salts-radio-active
table salt is good example-are
strictly poisonous, apparently are
diffused through the tissues generally.
are rapidly eliminated and are active
for only a few hours. In the body
metabolism they act precisely like
similar materials which are not radio
active. Thus, there is every reason
to believe, they can be taken without
any danger, and some of the killing
radlations may strike a stray cancer
cell anywhere in the body.
Not Enough Equipment.
While the reports made to the
Cancer Council were confidential. the
radioactive salts were not considered
as an immediate possibility for cancer
treatment, it was learned. At present
they are extraordinarily costly and
expensive and there is not enough
equipment in the world to turn out
more than tiny amounts of them
Even If animal experimentation should
demonstrate their value, there is no
cheaper way of making them. It is a
slow process and, because of their
short life, there is no possibility of
accumulating the materials.
The Public Health Service, it was
announced at the Council meeting yes
terday. will undertake Immediately a
special study of the efficiency of
various types of cancer treatmept-
X-ray, radium and surgery.
There is obviously great need for
critical appraisal of these cancer
control programs" said DR.. Ludwig
Hektoen, director Of the Council.

Nearly 600 Rhode Islanders here
