Participating in a radio broad

SPY TRIAL HEARS
POLITICS CHARGE
Lawyer Says Prosecution
OF Russian Is Making
Him A Hero AT Home

SEATTLE, July 13-P-Russiar
Naval Lieut.. Nicolai G.. Redin was
pictured by defense counsel as the
victim of a political trial" anc
by the government as a spy who
might become a great hero" ir
Soviet Russia in his espionage
conspiracy trial today.
Concluding a full day which he
shared with special government
attorney Victor E. Anderson in
arguments, defense attorney If
vim Goodman told the jury and
crowded courtroom:
81 say this case is a small part
of a much larger setting. A spy
case vas needed at this particular
time in world history but you and
I as Americans, want no artificially
created spy to disrupt the
peace of the world"
He did not describe, however,
what he called the real prose-
cutors' in the case other than to
sap they were groups which want
ed war Redin, charged with buy
ing naval secrets from Herbert G.
Kennedy, Seattle shipyard engineer
for $3.50, was arrested at Portland
last March rs.
Anderson, talking nearly three
hours for opening argument, said
that the United States Navy had
never permitted an invasion OF
United States shores except for the
arrival of a few German sabo-
tours, but was Vulnerable as a
toy from Within and that Redln's
asserted deeds were a thousand
times worse" because they came
from a nation which was a former
ally.
eff Redkin could have gotten
ali the blueprints he wanted, he
would probably have become a
greater hero in his WI land than
the man who guided the Russian
hordes into Berlin" he said.
Goodman concluded his case by
directing IA questions to the gov
eminent, which he demanded be
answered.
eff Kennedy, a member of the
British secret service, procured
naval secrets to sell to Lieutenant
Redin, he stole them, and why
don't you prosecute him?' Good
man asked.
His other questions included one
stating that government witnesses
had time and again. disclosed
so-called naval secrets during the
three-week trial and doesn't that
that prove they were publicly

.'that zeal in the desire to account
frequently and openly is not limit
ed to the sphere of any particular
group nor is integrity and devotion
to duty"
Witnesses have testified that
May, chairman of the house mill
tary affairs committee, "pressur-
ed" the War department into CIV
ing war orders to the combine. The
committee also received evidence
that May served as ar agent for a
subsidiary of the combine and
that he exerted Influence to win
for one of the parent firms an al
legedly unearned Army-Navy e"
award.
May has denied that he prof
tied by es much as one penny
through his relations with the COM
bine. He appeared before a clos
ed session of the committee June
4 to explain his part in the Cumber-
land (Ky.) Lumber company. a
subsidiary firm. Committee mem
bers said he was not required to
testify under oath then.
After other witnesses subsequent
ly testified that May brought pres
sure On behalf of the combine, the
committee repeatedly invited him
to testify in open session.
Asks Terms
Yesterday May sent the commit
tee a letter asking if he as a wit
ness would be allowed to have
counsel to recall witnesses for
cross-examination to use the com.
mittee's subpoena powers to &c,
government records.
The committee in its reply to-
day assured May the customary
rights and privileges afforded wit.
nesses" before his own committee.
But it made it plain that it would
not give May any special priv
leges.
1t told May it was confidant that
the customary rights and priv
leges will satisfy all of the safe.

not conflict with the equally i'm
portant objective Of obtaining full
and accurate information for the
Congress and the nation unhamper-
ed by technical and legalistic OBJ
structions."
AS for Mays written offer to
testify coaditionally the commit
tee - in a letter signed by chair
man James M. Mead D. NY. -
said:
stripped of ifs, 'ands' and
butts, the plain and simple import
of your letter is that you decline to
appear before the committee to
face and explain the facts that
have been presented. The commit
tee has sought to find an alterna-
tive to the conclusion that you
admit those facts to be true. that
you are unable to explain or contra
dict them. 1t cannot find any such
alternative.'
Mead's letter then said in effect
that if Mays integrity has been
challenged he should crush to de-
fend" it.
-. The citizenry and it's rep
resentative bodies of which we are
members" Mead wrote May, "are
entitled to an accounting of our
stewardship of the public trust we
have accepted. This should induce
us to seek to account frequently
fully and openly. No possession
would be more precious than the
confidence of the public in the in.
tegrity and devotion to duty of {
representative of the people in {
democracy. When wrongfully chal
lenged, we should rush to defenc
that integrity"
Commenting on Mays offer te
testify conditionally, Senate com
mittee aides said the group otter
has permitted witnesses to have
legal counsel, but never has per
mitted them to cross-examine
other witnesses or use the commit
tees subpoena power to get at re
