88 Errors
 Committed .By Judge

Washington, March 26(UP) At torneys for Rep. James M. Curley (D.-Mass.), who was convicted o. mail fraud with two others in Jan- uary, charged today that Presiding Justice James M. Proctor made & legal errors during the course of the trial.
 A "bill of exceptions" filed in the U. s. Court of Appeals for the Dis trict of Columbia said Curley should have been granted a directed verdict of acquittal, since there was no evidence to connect him with a conspiracy to defraud. State ments also were filed on behalf of Curley's co-defendants, James G. Fuller, and Donald Wakefield Smith, former member of the National La- Dor Relations Board
 The three were charged with ac- cepting some $60,0o0 in fees for war contracts which they never pro- duced. They operated contract brokerage business in 1941 under the name of Engineers Group.
 Nicholas J. Chase, one of Curley's attorneys, said there was still 50- 50 chance that the case would be argued in the Court of Appeals be- Tore the Summer recess.

Court Rules No Kickbock In Bay State
 Unions Action
 Upheld in Appeal
 To High Tribunal

Washington, March 26-(UP)- The Supreme Court held today that four Massachusetts union officials did not violate the Kickback Act by demanding assessments from non-union workers on a Fort Dev- ems project.
 Justice Frank Murphy wrote the courts 5 to 3 decision.
 The ruling involved Vincent Din- unno, president of the Eastern Mas SachuSetts Laborers' District Coun- ell, and Joseph L. Carbone, Wantee Huhtanemi and John Stropparo of ficers of Local 39 of the Interna- tional Hod Carriers and Laborers' Union.
 The Kickback Act makes it ille- gal to induce an employe on a Fed- eral project to give up part of his salary as a. condition of employ ment. The case came to the high tribunal after the Federal District Court at Boston ruled the act did not apply to union officials.
 The Government charged that the four officials compelled laborers to pay $5 a week toward an initia- tion fee into the union, upon threat ol getting them fired, although few of the men ever actually stayed on the job long enough to complete payment and become members of the union.
 Murphy said that the Govern ment relied chiefly on failure of th1 officials to account to the na- tional union for payments made by workers who quit before paying the last installment.
 He said that if that were true the evil falls outside the scope of the Kickback Act"
 "Embezzlement and failure to obey union rules are matters vastly different from an unlawful demand upon an employe to return part of the wages he has earned. Congress has given no indication fin this act that t desired to deal with such matters"
