Court Moves by Hill
Being Weighed by
Justice Morris
Counsel for Fish's Aide
Presses Demand to See
Minutes Of Testimony
Star Staff Photo.

Justice James w. Morris of Dis
trict Court had under advisement
today two motions in the case Of
George Hill, assistant secretary to
Representative Fish. Republican, of
New York. one q demurrer attack
ing the validity Of the perjury in
dictment. the other 4 demand to
inspect the minutes of the grand
jury containing the defendants tes-
timony.
The motions were argued late yes
terday by John O'Connor, chief
counsel for Mr. Hill. and the Gov
ernment prosecutors, Edward J.
Hickey. jr., and William Power Ma.
loney, from the Justice Department.
Mr.. O'Connor, former member
OF Congress from New York and one
time chairman of the House Rules
Committee. contended that the in
dictment was illegal in that it failed
to charge Mr. Hill with testifying
falsely to a material" fact.
Representative Fish's employe was
indicted during the investigation by
a special District grand jury Of Nazi
propaganda. The inquiry also re-
suited in the indictment of George
Sylvester Viereck, New York pub
licist, on charges of violating the
alien agent registration law.
This is most extraordinary in
dictment in many ways" said Mr..
O'Connor Of the Hill accusation.
This man is not charged with testi-
flying two different ways. but with
making false statement before the
grand jury, and the Government
proposes to prove that by the testi-
mony OF other witnesses. I have
never, in my search of precedents,
found a case of this sort"
Mr.. O'Connor contended the al
legged perjury was entirely inmate
rial to the investigation and thus
contrary to the statute. One Of the
two counts in the indictment charges
Mr.. Hill with testifying falsely that
he did not know Mr. Viereck and
Mr.. O'Connor pointed out:
Mr.. Viereck had already been in
dicted when this alleged offenSe oc.
CURED. The grand jury didn't care
rap whether the defendant knew
Mr.. Viereck or not. They had al
ready taken care of Mr.. Viereck."
Mr.. Hickey contended that the
indictment was entirely material to
the Viereck case
When he said he did not know
Viereck," said the Federal prosecu.
tor. "the Government was COM
pletely blocked. 1t certainly inter-
fered with the investigation"
Justice Morris indicated that he
was in doubt whether the defense
should be allowed to inspect all the
grand jury minutes pertaining to
Mr.. Hills testimony.
To allow the defense attorney
access to this record, Mr.. Maloney
declared, would break the grand
jury's seal of secrecy. He said the
indictment had set forth in great
detail the actual perjury which Mr..
Hill was alleged to have committed
and there would be no point in re.
quiring further details. ..,..

|Conferees Fail
To Settle Row
Over Rent Bill
Randolph Arronees
PorIey Tomorrow;
Hopes for Accord

A 4o-minute conference today by
three members Of the House Dis
trict Committee and Representa-
tive Patman. Democrat. Of Texas,
failed to settle the controversy de-
laying final congressional approval
of the District rent control bill.
Committee Chairman Randolph.
however. announced at the close OF
the meeting which was held behind
closed doors, that definite prog
gress' had been made toward
breaking the impasse.
Despite the Thanksgiving holi-
day. the group will confer again
tomorrow at $50 am, with the
hope, Representative Randolph
said, OF working out final agree
ment." II an agreement is reached
it is the chairman's plan to have
the House rush the bill to joint
conference with the Senate Friday.
Details Not Revealed.
The compromise proposal dis
cussed was not revealed. nor was
its originator 1t was understood
that Mr.. Patman. who alone has
blocked final legislative action on
the measure for three days. indi-
Gated he was willing to relent in
his previous insistence that the in
vestment value OF property be
made a premise in fixing fair
rental if given assurance changes
are made to protect" tenants whose
rents were too high January /, the
date on which rents would be frozen.
In permitting the bill to go to
conference, Mr.. Patman, it was said,
insisted on being allowed TO sit with
the conferees while they attempt to
iron out differences between the
House and Senate versions of the
bill.
Senate Killed Patman Plan.
The Senate made several revisions
in the bill as it passed the House
November 4. The principal change
eliminated an amendment spon-
sored by Mr. Patman, providing
that the investment value Of prop
erty should be a factor in fixing
fair rental.
Opponents of the Patman amend
ment claimed it would result in
prolonged and costly valuation pro-
ceedings, the cost of which tenant
petitioning for q reduced rental
would have to bear.

and Mr.. Patman at the conference

as the seamen below decks Of bat

an industry like ordnance produc-
tion grows with the growth Of the
danger that threatens the country,
he said.
There are forces abroad who are
seeking to impose their will by
