Grand Jury Records

HARRISBURG, Pa, Aug. 3
Q.NSO.-The Pennsylvania legls-
lature today carried back to the
courts its struggle with the ju-
dietary.
Thus it held in abeyance more
drastic meaSureS-Such as i'm
peachment proceedings and Jail
sentences-until the courts have
ruled. on whether a grand jury or
legislative committee has prece-
dent in Investigating alleged cor
ruption charges in Governor
George H. Earle'S little New
Deal" administration.

1t arranged through its investi-
eating committee - set up late
yesterday and composed of five
Democrats and two Republicans
for hearing at p. m. E.S.T0
today before Judge Paul N.
Schaeffer. the county jurist who
impounded the grand jury rec
ords which the legislature is de.
termined to make public.
At that time committee counsel
or committee chairman Herbert
B. Cohen, Democratic House
Leader, was to appear before
Judge Schaeffer and move that
his orders impounding the evi-
dence and forbidding the district
attorney and key witnesses from
testifying before the legislative
committee be revoked.
Should Judge Schaeffer refuse
the Legislatures request the mat
ter would then proceed to the

BAN CALLED OFF.
ON HIRING ALIENS.
AS DRUG SPIES
Comptroller Says Spies
Them Not Employees

If you are a "tipSter" in Uncle
Sans behalf you are not neces-
sarily an employe Of his, and con-
sequently you need not be a citi.
zen.
This is the gist of q decision by
the Acting Comptroller General
to the Bureau Of Narcotics, re.
vealed today, allowing its agents
to continue hiring aliens as in.
formers in detecting violations Of
the drug laws.
BARRED IN APPROPRIATION
Treasury officials drew the at
tention of the Acting Comptroller
General Elliott to legislation set
ting up current appropriations for
the Treasury Department which
require that aliens may no longer
be employed by the Federal Gov
eminent.
Frantically Secretary of the
Treasury Morgenthau pointed
out;
"It Is not believed. that the
fact that certain informers re-
ceive a per diem allowance is
sufficient in view of the langu-
age of the appropriation act to
render them employees Of the
Government -.
ASSISTANCE INVALUABLE"
Finally. your attention is di-
rected to the fact that alien in
formers are of invaluable assist
ance to the Bureau of Narcotics
in its law enforcement activities
and are frequently indispensable
to the solution Of important
cases."
Elliott told Morgenthau his Of
flee was in agreement with the
plea.
