War Trial Attorneys
ToC Clash in KeIIyC Case

Assistant United States Attorney
John w. Fihelly and Joseph B.
keenan,, former Assistant Attorney
General, now working together in
the prosecution of war criminals in
Japan, are scheduled to be on OPP
posite sides when a case charging
conspiracy to embezzle $4,000 in
union labor funds comes to trial
in District Court here.
The defendants are Larry Kelly,
Washington labor leader, and IL
others, indicted in March, 1914, on
charges of conspiracy to embezzie
funds of the Hod Carriers, Build
ers and Common Laborers Local No.
"A, AFL. The case is marking time
while the Japanese war trials go
forward
Mr.. keenan, is chief prosecutor at
the war trials and Mr.. Fihelly,
loaned by the United States Attor-
ney's office here, is his chief as
sistant. When, they will return from
Japan is not known here
Kelly, according to reports, died
of a heart attack aboard the mer-
chant vessel Clarence Darrow in
the South Pacific, the War Ship
ping Administration was advised in
June, 1914, but Mr.. Fihelly at that
time expressed doubt about it. Kel-
ly was treasurer of the Building
Committee of Local IA and disap-
peared from Washington when the
Government began to investigate
the unions books.
Among those indicted by the Dis
trict grand jury with Kelly was
Joseph v. Moreschi, president of the
International Union. In April, 1914,
Mr.. Fihelly estimated that $500, 600
in union funds were involved.
The United States Attorney at
that time, who is now Justice Ed
ward M. Curran of District Court,
turned over prosecution of the case
to Mr. Filhelly. The case cannot be
tried until Mr.. keenan, returns from
Japan, it was said, so no other as
sistant has been assigned.
Serving with Mr.. keenan, as de-
fense counsel are: Charles E. Ford,
Robert E. Lynch, Henry 1. Quinn
and Austin F. Garfield, the last
named being president of the Bar
Association. All are Washing
tonians.

$500 Veterans Here
Losing All Of Parf Of
GI Subsistence Pay

Smaller Government checks or no
checks at all will come next month
to $500 Washington area veterans
attending school or taking on-the-
job training.
The Veterans Administration re-
gional Office broke down the figures
this way:
Approximately $500 veterans will
lose their subsistence checks entire
ly because they are earning more
than $110 a month Or will take a
cut in their subsistence checks be-
cause their earnings plus subsist-
ence otherwise would bring in an
income of more than SITS q month,
If they are single, or 5000 a month
if married;
800 Fail to Report.
Another 800 will receive no checks
next month because they failed to
report their earnings, If any. The
deadline was November S and at
that time more than 1900 had failed
to report. Since then, however, l.
600 of them have hastened to report
and they will get their checks, VA
said.
Throughout the country, between
30 and 65 per cent of the sos, 900
veteran taking on-the-j job training
are expected to suffer an income cut
as a result of the new law putting
the $175-$200 ceiling on the incomes
Of veterans in training.
MaQnmhiIa onntha, ,~1oc, zg 4t.o
new law ran into stumbling block
here. The Veterans Administra-
ton reported yesterday that 80
States have requested Government
funds to inspect and supervise on
the-job training establishments and
VA has set aside 81 10000 for that
purpose so far in the States already
approved.
No Checkup in District.
The District, however, has asked
for no funds and the Board of Edu-
cation is not making the checkup
ordered in the new law. School
Supt. Hobart M. Corning explained
he had asked the corporation coun-
sells office for a ruling on whether
the school system would have to-
make the check.
Since the Veterans Administra-
tion takes the position that some
body has to comply with the law
and check over all the training es-
tablished, VA training officers here
are doing the job themselves.
OF the 1,400 establishments here,
VA reported, 296 had been investi-
gated by the end of October. OF
these, 264 were approved and the
remaining 80 agreed to revise their
program to meet the new, higher
standards.

G Bill Is Called Obstacle
To Homes for Veterans
BY the Assoeioied Press

BALTIMORE. Nov. 21.-The GI
bill actually has deprived veterans
of critically needed housing instead
OF helping to meet the demand, G
Lester Muller, Federal Housing Ad-
ministration director for Maryland
asserted last night.
Addressing a subcommittee of the
Mayors Veterans Emergency Hous-
ing Committee, Mr.. Muller said:
THE CT bill did not help veterans
as 1t might have. If the housing
priority system had been open to all
other prospective builders, veterans
could have afforded better and less
expensive already built houses which
could have been vacated by other
homeowners who have more ability
to pay.
There are just as many hardship
cases in housing for nonveterans in
this State as there are for veterans.
I'm sure the opening up of housing
to others than veterans will be an
act of the next Congress"

|Hyaifsyiue May Invite
Area 70 Northwest 10
Become Part Of City

Hyattsville may invite q large
nearby area to the north and north
west to become a part of the city.
The boundary of this area runs
along co1esyille road from the pres
ent Hyattsyille boundary to Uni
yersity lane, to Riggs road, south
on Riggs road to the Northwest
Branch, along that stream to Queens
Chapel road to Ager road. Green
Meadows. Brookside Manor and
LeWisdale are among developments
in the area.
The plan to invite the area to
join Hyattsville is favored unani-
mously by the special committee of
the City Council drafting proposed
legislation to be laid before the
General Assembly in January. The
committees recommendations will
go before the full council at it's
meeting December O.. Residents of
the area would have to approve the
move ifla referendum before the
annexation would be effective.s Q
Another recommendation of the
committee, which would have to 60
before the city's voters, provides for
increasing the Mayors monthly
salary from $50 to $100 and those
OF Counciimen from $25 to $50.
The committee will recommend
that the Council meet the first and
third Mondays in each month in
stead of every second Monday as
at present.
Other recommendations provide
for taking the office of city treasur-
er out of politics by making it
appointive rather than elective,
making the fourth ward of the city
of Hyattsyille the fifth precinct of
the 10th CHyattsville) election dis
trict for county, State and national
elections. setting up retirement and
merit systems for city employees and
prohibiting the occupancy of prop
erty considered unsafe from a

Laws indicates Doubt
Mass 5ediiion Case
Should Be Tried Again

Chief Justice Bolitha J. Laws.
after expressing serious doubts"
whether the mass sedition case
should be tried again, announced
today that he would think over
motions to dismiss and decide at 10.
am. tomorrow whether he wanted
to hear arguments.
Assistant Attorney General Lamar
Caudle told the court the Govern
ment was ready to try the case again.
Attorneys for the 26 defendants
were in court, ready to argue motions
for dismissal, but Justice Laws in
dicated he might not need to hear
them before reaching a decision.
Most Of the defendants also were
present.
II am not making a ruling at this
tirie," the court added, "but I have.
serious doubts whether this case
should be tried again."
Justice Laws pointed out that O.
John Rogge, who was prosecutor in
the case from its inception more
than four years ago. twice had
stated in open court that he doubted
conviction would be sustained by
the Supreme Court. ~
Mr.. Rogge was fired recently by
Attorney General Clark for as
sertedly revealing in speeches por-
tions of a confidential report the
special prosecutor made as re-
suit of an investigation in Ger
many last year. Mr. Clark said Mr..
Rogge recommended dismissal of
the case.
Justice Laws said he felt "these
men, the defendants, who have
been halassed for four and half
years." were entitled to disposition
of their case one way or the other.
The first trial of the conspiracy
case, which lasted nearly eight
months, ended in a mistrial when
the presiding judge, Chief Justice
Edward c. Eicher, died early in
December, 1914. The case has hung
