Such Report Is False, Vin- dictive Asserts Chief
 Executive Today WILL FIRST CONSULT
 ATTORNEY IN CASE ~s - May Not Have Read Full Report of Grand Jury
 Proceedings

Mayor Frank Hayes shunted away newspapermen pressing him for a Statement today as he appeared at county court house in com pany with Thomas P. Kelly, executive secretary, an d Henry w. Minor, police and fire commissioner, to post the $25,000 in bonds stipulated by Hugh M. Alcorn following the reading of the report of the grand jury and the naming of 27 persons for who bench warrants were issued.
 Officially the mayor withheld statement until such time as he has conferred with counsel, it was reli- ably reported. But, unof1cially, the mayor was said to have remarked thta the whole matter of accusations against himself and others twas un- founded, vindictive, false," and that he, and others, would fight such pro- cedure and accusation to the limit.
 No Statement Yet
 This report, however, was denied in entirety by someone close to the mayor who said that until such time as Mayor Hayes has read the grand jury report and conferred with counsel there will be no staetment forthcoming.
 It was learned from reliable source that the mayor had not read the re- port at noon today when he made his trip to cuonty courthouse to post the bond.
 May Reply Later
 At first, in light of the comment of Governor Wilbur L. Cross that he will study the whole situation very carefully" denying a statement to newspapermen, it was believed that Mayor Hayes would make an imme- diate reply to the various allega tions of the grand jury report. Ar irving at his office late this fore noon, however, the mayor left soon thereafter for the courthouse with out commenting on the report for publication.
 Nor did other high officials who have been named in the report make public comment today. At least one of the city officials said that he would await statement by the mayor before commenting for pub lication on the matter.
 It is known that several of those for whom bench warrants were is- sued were comforting with counsel today and this led to belief that due to the possibility of legal question developing in court over grand jury procedure, the persons named will await legal opinion before comment ing on any phase of the investiga- tion and charges.

 Quotations

Cambridge, Mass, May 20.-(UP) Milton Vasil Anastos, Harvard Divinity school librarian, rebuked his wife by pinning Biblical quota tions on her bureau, she testified at a hearing on her divorce petition.
 The case was resumed today after a two-hour conference yesterday failed to break the deadlock between Anastos and pretty, brown-eyed Wenonah Bell Anastos. who seeks 8 divorce and custody of two-year- old son on grounds of cruelty.
 "On one occasion my husband &C., cused me of being unfaithful and called me a liar," Mrs. Anastos tes- tified yesterday. T found on my bureau a slip of paper bearing text from the psalms. It read:
 "'Deliver my soul, o Lord, from lying lips and a deceitful tongue, or what shall be done unto thee by false tongues?'"
