"broke in" the late Superintendent

His brother, Police Pvt. Taylor M.

at that time, the young man-Pvt.
Harvey G.. Callahan-was taken out
by the experienced policeman to
familiarize him with the precinct
and the rudiments Of police work.
Pvt. Lewis was proud of his pupils
quickness in learning.
In later years, when the rookie
had become superintendent of police,
and Pvt. Lewis had transferred to
the first precinct, Maj. Callahan
used to say that "he taught me what
I know about being policeman,
according to Mrs. Lewis.
Born in Berryville, Va, Pvt. Lewis
spent his early life in Hagerstown
Md. He enlisted in the Army in
1910, and came to Washington to
join the Metropolitan Police in 1918

Station for two years, and then
transferred to the Treasury Depart
ment where he was employed at the
time of his death. He lived at 70-A
Bates street NV.

Susan w. Lewis; three sisters, Mrs.
Frank Harrison and Mrs. Nan
Doarnberger, both of Hagerstown,

ington, and two brothers, Taylor,

Justice Schweinhaut had denied
the defendants new trial earlier
today. He likewise threw out the
defense motion to bring the jurors
into court and question them as to
whether they had read newspaper
accounts of the trial or listened to

The defense contended they had
information that some of the jurors
had violated Justice Schweinhaut's
instructions and read press accounts
and listened to the radio. They
filed an aff1davit to this effect.
The three men were found guilty

Hughes KAISER Probe
May Call Jesse Jones
As Ace Witness
BY the Associated Press

Senatorial investigators limited
today at Jesse Jones as an ace
witness in their efforts to prove
that White House pressure forced
award of a $40,000,000 wartime
plane contract to Howard Hughes
and Henry ]. Kaiser.
The former cabinet members pos.
sible appearance hinges, one sen.
ator said, on whether any docu.
mentary evidence is found in the
files of President Roosevelt.
A Senate war investigating sub.
committee will open a hearing Mon.
day into the contract for planes that
never were delivered.
Senator Ferguson, Republican, o1
Michigan, who heads the inquiry
group, told a reporter he doesn't
know yet" whether Mr.. Jones will
be asked to testify.
Although Senator Ferguson de-
clined further comment, another
committee member said it is likely
the former. Secretary of Commerce
and head Of the Reconstruction Fl
nance Corporation will be asked tc
tell what he knows about the mat
ter If a search Of the Roosevelt files
proves fruitless.
Mr.. Jones was represented by this
member as having baked at signing
the airplane contract with Mr.
Hughes, millionaire Hollywood movie
producer, and Mr.. Kaiser, wartime
shipbuilder, until he was given a
written memorandum on the deal.
President Roosevelt ousted Mr.
Jones from the cabinet in January
1945, to give the Commerce port
folio to Henry A. Wallace.
The Ferguson committee has beer
told in testimony taken behind
closed doors that the Army and
Navy opposed letting the Hughes
Kaiser contract for plywood planes
This contract later was replaced by
a contract with Mr.. Hughes for q
photo-reconnaissance ship.
Senator Ferguson has charged
that White House pressure" was
brought to force acceptance Of the
original contract, carried out In part
throught the Defense Plant Corp.
an RFC subsidiary.
The Michigan Senator said, how
ever, the committee thus far has
received no documents from trustees
of the Roosevelt estate In answer
to a subpoena served on them.
