Justice Aides Study
New Presentation Of
|CurIey Charges

Justice Department attorneys to-
day were studying records in the
case of Representative James M,
Curley, Democrat, of Massachusetts.
former Governor of that State, to
determine whether new indictments
would be sought against him and
five others on mail fraud charges
after previous indictments were
dismissed by Chief Justice Edward
C. Eicher in District Court yester-
day.
Justice Eicher, in ruling on a plea
in abatement filed October 7 by
James Barton Underwood, one of
the defendants, sustained the plea
and motion ION the ground that the
grand jury returning the Indictment
in question was illegally summoned"
The others named in the indict-
ment included Donald Wakefield
Smith, former member OF the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board; Mar
shall J. Fitzgerald, a Washington
Legislative counsel; James G..
Fuller, said to be formerly of Wash
ington and serving a term in a Fed
eral penitentiary for sending fraud
ulent securities through the mail,
and Bertram Hall, Dallas.
The plea in abatement claimed
that Justice James w. Morris, who
signed the order authorizing the
additional grand jury which returned
the indictment was without author
ity because he was not chief justice
of the court or senior associate JUS
tice. Justice Eicher pointed out that
Justice Jennings Bailey was senior
| justice of the court.
| With the ruling that the jury was
Illegally summoned, the entire in
| dictment is void.
Those indicted were described as
former officers and directors of En-
gineers Group, Inc. The indictment
was returned in September. The
Justice Department at the time as
serted the mail fraud charges were
in connection with "a Government
war contract brokerage racket"
All of the defendants named in
the indictment pleaded innocent
when arraigned in court.

Plot 10 Give Britain
Control Of i. ). Gold
Charged in House
By the Associated Press.

Representative Smith, Repub-
lican, of Ohio charged in the House
yesterday that plans for a united
and associated nations stabilization
fund constituted "a plot to give
Great Britain control of our gold
stock and unload upon the United
States an immense volume of debts
owed by Britain to other countries. "
The Ohioan declared Great Brit
ain is in serious monetary anu
financial difficulties" and that the
plan was conceived to solve
that problem"
There are now two plans, the
British plan, called an international
clearing union and another plan
supposedly formulated by the ad-
minlstration, called a united and as
sociated nations stabilization fund, -
he declared. There is only one plan
namely, the British plan.
The British furnished the materials
for this scheme.
Mr.. Smith declared that John
Maynard Keynes, adviser to the
British EXchequer, was ''unquestion-
ably the spearhead of the move
ment' but added:
1T is the British government that
the United States must hold re-
sponsible for its promotion, just as
the Roosevelt administration must
be held responsible for the part
our Treasury officials are taking
in it.
The gold liability of the United
States ito the international fund.-
would be nearly four times that OF
the whole British Empire, yet the
United States would have only 20
per cent of the votes while the
empire would have 10 per cent"
AS now contemplated, Mr.. Smith
said, the fund could be used tc
purchase large amounts of debts
owed by Britain to her colonies, with
the United States having no control
