To Go 10 Jury Today
As Defense Rests

The case of DR.. Edward A. Rumely
executive secretary of the Commit
tee for Constitutional Government
was expected to go to a District
Court jury this afternoon Dr.
Rumely is accused of failing to
furnish to House committee in
vestigating campaign expenditures
list of contributors Of 500 or more
to his committee.
The defense rested today after
testimony by several witnesses.
Among them was Robert Dresser
OF Providence, r. l., an attorney and
trustee of the Committee for Con-
stitutional Government, called to the
stand by Defense Attorney Neil
Burkinshaw.
Character Witness.
Mr.. Dresser testified as to good
character Of DR.. Rumley. In answer
to a question by Assistant United
States Attorney Charles B. Murray,
he said that he did not believe a
circular sent out by the committee
came under the heading of political
activity.
The circular in question was sent
to the district of Representative
Patman, Democrat, of Texas. 1t
suggested that voters pick the right
man as means of reducing gov
ernmental expenditures, it was
testified.
The defense is based largely on
the contention that the activities
of the Committee for Constitutional
Government were nonpolitical. Mr.
Burkinshaw attacked the Govern
ment for not bringing in Repre-
sentative Patman as witness.
Denies Political Motives.
Samuel B. Pettengill, South Bend,

in Congress, testified yesterday aft

produce the records before the
House committee investigating ex-

ly to the committee hearing. The
committee was attempting an I'M
constitutional invasion of the right
of privacy, Mr.. Pettengill charged at
the trial
Cross-examined by Mr.. Murray,
Mr.. Pettengill denied he had at
tempted to influence the voters
against Mr.. Patman as a candidate.
He said the article did not appear

trict and that it was published be-
fore the campaign got under way.

Mr.. Truman then said he did not
believe in lobbying and added that
he believed men should express their

said earnings from British invest

about 40 years.
II should like to remind the Con-

agreement does not insure that she

| President Truman refused to COM
ment on the editorial at his news
conference today.
In its report on the legislation,
the Banking Committee noted that
American negotiators had asked for
no special advantages for this coun-
try in world trade as a result of the
loan, but merely lifting of restric-
tions so that United States export
ers could compete on equal terms
with others.
On the eve of the opening of de-
bate, Senator Murdock, Democrat.
of Utah suggested it might be well
for the Senate to defer action Until
next January because of unsettled
conditions in our own country and
throughout the world"
He said he had not yet made up
his mind how he would vote on the
loan and that many other Senators
likewise were undecided.
There is no urgent need for i'm
mediate action" he said. Il see no
harm in postponing action to give
us more time to consider the matter
and to see what our constituents
are thinking"
Senator Murdock said he had not
decided whether he would recon-
mend a postponement today from
the Senate floor.

Imitation Effects Discussed.
In his testimony before the Senate
committee today Mr.. Porter boiled
down his imitation fears to terms of
an average family now spending
$500 year. Twelve months of 40
per cent imitation. he said, would
boost such family's expenses to
S3,450 for food, clothing, rent and
other regular items.
Discussing the effects of initiation
on War Bonds and other invest
ments, Mr., Porter observed:
IF witness were to appear at
this hearing with the proposal of a
capital levy of so per cent on all the
savings accounts, the life insurance
policies, the bonds and mortgages

dowments which generation OF
thrift and self-denial has amassed
