Abe Board Would Halt
Retail Dealers Imports

The Alcoholic Beverage Contro,
Board has sent to the Commits
sioners recommendation that
liquor regulations, which now per-
NIT the board to issue permits to
retailers to import liquor, be rel
Scinded.
The present regulation provides
that the board may issue a spe-
cial permit of permits to the holder
of a retailers license to transport
or cause to be transported, into the
District, alcoholic beverages when
said board is satisfied that bev.
erages bearing the brand or trade
name are not obtainable by such
retail licensee from a licensed manu-.
facturer or wholesaler in the Dis.
trict in such quantity as reason
ably to satisfy the immediate needs
of such retail icensee."
Requests have been received from
half dozen lawyers representing
retailers asking for a public hear
ing before the Commissioners decide
on the recommendation.
Wholesalers, who recently dis
cussed trade problems with men,
bers of the ABC Board, are said
to have contended that retailers
have brought inferior beverages to
the local market.

Cur|ey's Illness Drop!
Mail Fraud Trial
From Court Calendar

The tWlce-postponed trial of Rep
reSentatlve James M. Curley, Demo-
crat, of Massachusetts and six 9TH
ers, charged with mail fraud, was
dropped from the calendar by JUS
tice T. Alan Goldsborough today
after a medical report showed Mr..
Curley still i'll at Naval Hospital.
This means the case probably will
not be tried until fall, court officials
said. 1t will have to be reassigned
and the calendars of all the judges
hearing criminal cases are crowded
until the summer vacation period.
Nicholas j. Chase, of counsel for
Mr.. Curlev, gave the court a report
signed by the attending physician
and also by the commanding officer
at Naval Hospital, stating that the
veteran Massachusetts political lead
er was unable to stand trial for at
least a week or 10 days
William A. Paisley, special assist
ant to the Attorney General. sug-
guested that some efforts should be
made to find out how long Mr.. Cur
ley was likely to be sick. The other
defendants are ready for trial, he
pointed out. and some 60 Govern
ment witnesses are standing by for
instructions.
Justice Goldsborough said it was
the right of the Government to have
an independent examination made
by a physician representing the
court, If it chose Mr.. Chase said the
defense was willing to have this
done and would cooperate in OBJ
tanning additional medical informa-
ton. The matter was left to the
attorneys.
Mr.. Curley, a former Governor of
Massachusetts and three times
Mayor of Boston, and the others are
charged with mail fraud in con-
nection with war contracts. The
other defendants are Donald Wake
field Smith, former member of the
National Labor Relations Board;
James Barton Underwood, James G..
Fuller, Marshall J. Fitzgerald Ber-
tram Hall and David E. Desmond
All assertedly were connected with
Engineers Group, Inc. The indict-
ment says Mr.. Curley at one time
was president of the firm.

New Medley Hearing
Tomorrow May SET
Murder Trial Date

Joseph D. Medley, 43-year- old
escaped convict, will be brought into
District Court at 10 am. tomorrow
to be arraigned again on charges
that he murdered and robbed Mrs
Nancy Boyer in her Sixteenth street
apartment March 6.
1t Is expected that date for his
trial will be set at that time.
Medley was arraigned March 29
before Justice Henry A. Schwein-
haut, 20 minutes after two indict-
ments were returned against him
by the grand jury. The first indict-
ment charged him with murder and
robbery, and the second, with flight
to evade prosecution.
He pleaded not guilty to both in
dictments but was given two weeks
during which to withdraw his pleas
and file motions attacking the in
dictments. Such motions were filed
by his attorney, James K Hughes
and were recently overruled His
withdrawal of the not guilty pleas
nullified the first arraignment and
makes it necessary for him to appear
before the court again.
Mrs. Boyer's body was found in
her apartment two days after she
was slain. Medley was among those
present at a card party in the apart
ment on the night of March S. Wit
nesses said he returned to the apart
ment after the party broke up to
keep a breakfast date with Mrs.
Boyer.
Medley was arrested on March 18
in ST. Louis hotel by FBI agents,
who found in his possession a fur
jacket, repeatedly identified as hav-
ing belonged to Mrs. Boyer Med
ley had escaped from the Michi-
gan State Penitentiary. where he
was serving term of from 80 to
go years for kidnapping and robbery.
