Mr.. Harr. who said he has not
been advised thus far of any change
in the duties of his Office, declared

Cur|ey Motion
For Directed
Verdict Denied
Smith and Fuller Also
Lose While Hall and
Underwood Win

A District Court jury was directed
today to acquit two former officials
of Engineers Group, Inc, charged
with using the mails to defraud.
but similar motions for acquittal of
Representative Curley, Democrat,
of Massachusetts,, and Mayor Of
Boston, and two other defendants
were denied.
Justice James M. Proctor declined
to grant the motions for directed
verdicts to dismiss charges against
Mr.. Curley, Donald Wakefield
Smith, former member of the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board, and
James G. Fuller, who is serving a
five-year sentence for sending
fraudulent securities through the
mails.
He directed acquittal of James
D. Underwood, formerly of Wash
ington, and Bert Hall of Dallas,
Tex, because of the Governments
failure to produce sufficient evi-
dence.
Given in Absence of Jury.
Eight counts of the indictment
against Mr. Smith were dismissed
because, Justice Proctor explained,
he did not join the organization
until early in December, 1941, and
could not have been guilty of using
the mails to defraud before that
time.
The decisions were announced
after weeks adjournment during
which Justice Proctor studied the
motions. His decision was given in
the absence of the jury.
The trial arose from Government
charges that the Engineers Group,
Inc, was a front" to secure money
from contractors, representing that
it could obtain Government war
| contracts, had an engineering staff
and close connection with high
| Government officials.
A motion by Fuller to grant
mistrial, on the ground that his
criminal record was revealed in
story in The Star was denied by
Justice Proctor.
Confession Ruled Out.
The jurist ruled out a reputed con-
fession, but Fuller's lawyer objected
to publication of his criminal record,
contending that it might influence
the jury. Justice Proctor, however,
polled the jurors prior to the recent
adjournment and established that
none of them had read the story.
On counts 10 and u of the in
dictment, Justice Proctor said that
verdict will be directed in favor
of all defendants. Special Assistant
to the Attorney General William A
Paisley recently announced that the
Government was abandoning these
two counts, conceding its failure tc
prove them.

Reuse Housing for
Veterans 10 Open
BY ROBERT ]. LEWIS.

The War Housing Reuse Expo
sition to open here Saturday was
constructed under a $3.50, 900 budget,
it was disclosed today. Fifty-five
temporary structures have been
erected on the temporary site.
Federal Public Housing Authority
officials said they had not yet fig
ured out the exposition's total cost,
and made clear that while it would
be high" in view of the expert
mental nature of the operation, ex-
perience gained would mean a tre-
mendous saving when the $191 ,0O0,-
600 veterans program gets into full
swing.
About 80 press and radio represen-
tatives yesterday toured the site at
New Hampshire avenue, extended,
and University lane, two miles be-
yond the District line in Maryland
in a preview arranged by FPHA.
Open to Public Saturday.
The exposition will be open to the
public with ceremonies at 2 pm. Sat-
urday, when John B. Blandford, jr.,
National Housing administrator, and
Wilson w. Wyatt, Federal Housing
expediter, will speak. The display
will continue for a month, with
tours conducted between 10 am. and
5 pm. daily.
With a s1s1 100000 appropriation
by Congress authorized by resolu-
ton sponsored by Senator Mead,
Democrat, of New York, FPHA esti-
mated it can erect 100000 dwelling
units for distressed veterans and
servicemen's families where they are
needed throughout the country.
Philip M. Klutznick, FPHA COM
missioner, said the exposition here
was sort of "pilot plant" through
which problems involved in CONVEX
sion of temporary housing to vet
erans' dwellings had been solved.
Can Be Transported.
Much of the housing to be trans
formed into veterans dwellings
under the FPHA program was not
designed to be portable. FPHA ex-
perts, however, developed techniques
by which structures of all types
could be "panelized" by power saws,
transported hundreds of miles and
then re-erected.
Virtually all buildings on the ex-
position grounds were thus panel
lied" and shipped here from original
sites in Bridgeport and Groton,
Conn; Middle River, Md, and from
other points as far west as Wis
consin.
In a talk to newsmen after yes
terday's preview tour, Mr.. Klutznick
said the program was definitely not
the answer to the veterans housing
problem, but merely an attempt to
cope with desperate situation"
He explained that FPHA planned
to re-erect the dwellings with mini
mum interference to construction Of
permanent homes. He said that
wherever possible FPHA would use
surplus materials unsuitable for
permanent construction.

Program 10 Restore
Peacetime Transit
Service Proposed

A four-point priority program to
restore streetcar and bus service to
peacetime standards was announced
today by the Public Utilities Com
mission.
The PUG said the program had
been worked out in conference with
the Capital Transit Co. and is de-
signed to increase service by 81
per cent.
Piorities set up were:
l. Full operation of present war
time emergency schedules on street.
car and bus lines involving full use

uled but not operated because of

2. Restoration of prewar streetcar
schedules during nonrush hours.
Routing to Be Restored.
3. Restoration of routings on cer-
tain buslines shortened or restricted
as a result of war directives issued
by the Office of Defense Transporta-
ton to conserve gasoline, tires and
manpower.
4. Restoration of full peacetime
loading standards on streetcars and
buses, which will result in adding
to the schedules on both streetcal
and bus lines "and shorten the
service headways."
The agreement will represent ar
increase Of 100000 more vehicle
miles annually, it was stated, anc
will require 1,100 more full-timt

The commission said it woult
check periodically the company eff
forts to put the program into efec
and assist where possible. The pro
gram it added will not preclud

The w WaShinqton Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON - It has now been one year since Harry Truman rushed down Pennsylvania Avenue to a saddened White House and the awesome task of filling the shoes of Franklin Roosevelt.
 A great deal has been written, and more will be, about the man. ner in which he has done that job. Among those close to Roosevelt there has also been speculation as to what would have happened if Senator Sam Jackson of Indiana had not rapped the gavel on that hot July night in Chicago. aGjour- ming the Democratic Convention just as the Wallace band-wagon seemed on the verge of rolling him into the Vice Presidency.
 In other words, if Henry Wallace had been President of the United States, would the first year since Roosevelt's death have been much different? How much did Sam Jackson's gavel-rapping tactic s change the course of history?
