Attorneys Will Appeal

George Hill. second secretary to
Representative Hamilton Fish, to-
day lost his plea for a retrial of the
two perjury charges on which he
was convicted n, District Court.
After listening to oral arguments.
Justice F. Dickinson Let's formally
denied a defense motion for new
trial-and indicated he would sem
tence Mr.. Hill on February g. Twenty
years imprisonment would be the
maximum sentence.
1t was Judge Let's who presided
at the trial after the perjury indict-
ment was presented by the grand
jury investigating Nazi propaganda
here.
The defense retrial motion con-
tended that much evidence was Tile
gally admitted during the trial and
that the prosecutor, Special Assist
ant to the Attorney General William
Power Maloney. was guilty Of mis-
conduct" Mr.. Maloney and his
associate, Special Assistant to the
Attorney General Edward j. Hickey,
jr., appeared for the Government at
today's meeting, maintaining that
conduct of the trial was legal.
Mr. Hills lawyers, the former New

Gated they would now carry the case

Tomorrow, Justice Let's will listen

Viereck contends, through his coun-
sci, Emil Morosini. jr., and Daniel
F. Cohalan, jr, both Of New York,
that the Government illegally seized
evidence from the defendant and
this it wants returned. In addition,
the defense is asking the court either

the motorist has purchased a

regular size letter paper. Mr..
Magruder said, pointing out that
the motorist may carry 1t in his
pockets.
Mr.. Magruder said he thought
1t a good idea for motorists to
write their names across their
stickers in ink or indelible pen
Gil so as to lessen the danger that
they may be stolen.
Meanwhile, Postmaster Vincent
Burke Of Washington urged that
motorists purchase the stamps
Immediately or be caught in a

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Jan. 28.-The
City Council has under consideration
4 self -liquidating park and recrea-
ton project proposed for a 106-acre
site near the north limits of the
city and to be financed with 81 2500,-
900 Reconstruction Finance Corp.
loan.
Mayor William T. wilkins said the
undertaking was proposed last week
and that engineering and several
other phases were being investigated
before any action is taken by the
Council.
Eyesore Would Be Removed.
The site of the project borders
Four Mile Run west of the city
dump, which now is closed, but re-
mains civic eyeSore the Council
would like to eliminate, Mr.. wilkins
said. Should the project be under
taken, the dump would be covered
with earth and Handicapped to pro-
vide an attractive entrance to the
park.
According to tentative plans. the
area would be developed as recrea-
ton center operating on a moderate
fee basis and would include large
swimming pool, day camp for 1,5OO
children, and playground facilities
for children and adults, Mr. wilkins
explained
A program for parks and play
grounds in the city. calling for a
bond issue Of 5000, 900, recently was
voted down by the Council. The
present proposal however, would
be self-liquidating and according
to present estimates would pay for
itself In about seven years.
City to Sponsor Loan.
City Manager Carl Budwesky ex-
planned the proposal had been
broached by officials of the Welfare
Department of the District. who
were anxious to provide additional
recreational, facilities for the entire
Metropolitan Area. As the site in
question is within the limits of
Alexandria. however. the city will
be asked to sponsor the loan appli-
cation.
THE city does not have S2.500 900
TO spend on recreational centers,"
Mr.. Budwesky said. but as soon
as I could determine that it would
not become a financial burden on
the city, I was authorized to dis |
cuss the matter. Plans are now |
being discussed and probably some
thing definite can be placed before
the Council :soon,,s' -
