Pleas in Conspiracy

The State Supreme Court of Err
rors today. reserved decision on mo-
tons by counsel for several of the
IA men who are appealing convic-
lions in the Waterbury conspiracy
trial to delay the appeal hearings
until after October %, the date now
scheduled for the hearings. The
new date asked by the defense was
November %. .
Some of the defense lawyers made
motions to have the length OF time
the jury deliberated before convict
ing the defendants inserted in the
trial records. Others motioned to
inject into the record what they
called the HOSTILITY" of the crowds
surrounding the courthouse during
the trial.
If granted, the motions would
most probably delay the date of the
appeal hearings, and considerable
time would be required to amend
the records. States Attorney Hugh
M. Alcorn repeatedly voiced his OBJ
jections to any further delays.
The United Press reported that
the decision Of the supreme court
in this latest move to delay the ap-
peals might be handed down late

The tax measure Is the last major
pieae of controversial legislation on
the administrators congressional
calendar. Two vital, but undisputed,
appropriately bills also are pending.
An effort by Sen. William II. King,
D., Utah, to lift the johnson act
and other restrictions against loans
to Great Britain appeared doomed
at this session. Attempts to seek
acton on such a measure would
have precipitated heated disputes.
King conceded today that there
was little possibility that he would
succeed II getting his proposal be-
fore the Senate. Senate Democratic
Leader Alben w. Barley, asserting
that the measure was not an admin
istration bill, concurred.
IF anybody wanted to accomplish
such a thing, he ought not to have
waited so late in the session to start
it." Barley said. "Its much too
late for a resolution of this kind.
It will only lead to long debate and
