the words OF Mr.. Drew's original
reports differed from the spelling as
he wrote the words today.
He testified under questioning that
he did not put any identification
mark Of his own on the reports, and
did not file his notes.
When Prosecutor John M. Kelley,
r.. special assistant to the Attorney
General, protested Mr.. Ford's minute
questioning on each Government
exhibit, Justice Richmond B. Keech
ruled that Mr.. Ford was testing the
witness ability to identify the re-
ports and permitted him to continue.
Infiltrated Into Party.
MIR. Drew, who inflltrated into the
Communist Party in New York in
1910, is the third witness to link
Marzani with Communist activities
during 1910 and 194l.
The following year, Marzani
joined the Government as a $4,000
a-year economic editor" IN the old
Once Of the Co-ordinator OF Infor-
nation. This was merged later with
the Office Of Strategic Services and
finally with the State Department.
At the time of his dismissal last
December, Marzani was making ST.

departments presentation division.
For nearly three hours yesterday.
Mr.. Drew recited to an attentive
jury and crowded courtroom his
many contacts with Marzani at
Communist rallies and meetings In
New York.
Says Revolution Advocated.
The witness said he attended .
small meeting In New York apart
ment in April, 1941, at which
Marzani repeatedly asserted that
now is the time for a revolution
In this country"
He said Marzani pointed out that
the number OF Communists in the
United States was then larger than
the number in Russia at the time
Of the Red Revolution in 1917.
Mr.. Ford lost another motion for
saa+mfstriaI shortly before Justice
Keech recessed the proceedings un-
til today. He moved for rnistriaI
after Mr.. Kelley called Mr.. Hewitt
back before the court.
The prosecutor told the court he
was prepared to- surrender Ma
Hewitt's passport to the defense.
Mr.. Ford had requested permission
to examine the witness identiflca-
tions.
Mr.. Ford jumped to his feet and
objected to Mr.. Kelley making his
offer In front OF the jury. The
court oyerruled the motion for mis-
trial and dismissed Mr.. Hewitt for
the time being.

Before undergoing crossexamina-
ton, Mr.. Drew related the last of q
long series Of incidents linking Mar
zani with the Communist Party.
He cited an occasion on Septem-
ber 8, 1e41, when he met Marzani,
or Tony Whales. In the Communist
Party headquarters on Clinton street
in New York. At that time, he said,
the defendant informed him that an
organizer Of the National Negro
Congress had been made vice presi-
dent of the East Side Peoples Com
mittee.
He also told OF a meeting at the
home of one Mary Farnum. whose
real name. he said. was Mary Fer
nandez. He said that an Executive
Committee meeting OF the Com
munist Party had been scheduled
but was Cancelled.
"Then the defendant came in
bearing leaflets" Mr.. Drew went on.
HE told Mary the comrades would
have to distribute them" Mr.. Drew
identified the leaflets which he said
concerned parade and an article
from an italian paper.
Questioning Permitted.
Mr.. Ford began Mr.. Drew's cross
examination by asking him to print
and write a number Of words, in
cluding "disintegrate" and "dialec-
tical." Later in the oss-examina-

May was for the Garssons be-
cause the Garssons showed up the
ordnance ofncials for what they
failed to do," he said.
It was at this point that Mr.. Mar
giotti announced that Henry Gars-
son would testify and regarded the
chance as mighty fortunate op-
portunity to tell the complete story" !"
Mr.. Margiotti did not name the
Senate War Investigating Commit
tee member who, he said, was cam
didate for Governor Of New York at
the time Of the committee hearings
last summer. Obviously he referred
to former Senator Mead Of New
York, the former chairman Of the
investigating committee.
At the start Of today's session,
Justice Schweinhaut informed the
jury that for technical and legal
reasons" he had found Government
evidence against Joseph F. Freeman,
wartime Washington agent Of the
Garssons, insufficient to submit to-
you" Justice Schweinhaut explained
that his action in ordering acquittal
Of Freeman was not to be consid-
cred by the jury as being either for
or against the Government or the
defendants or as rejecting any
opinion by the court on the evidence
being presented in the case Of May
and the Garssor1s.
10 witnesses Heard.
The Government closed its case
Wednesday after calling 10 wit
nesses, including Secretary of War
Patterson and other top-fiight War
Department officials. It has sought
to prove May did many things for
the Garssons and their $4,000, 900
munitions combine and that he got
more than $4,000 in return.
Despite occasional rumors that
counsel for May and the Garssons
were at odds with each other, they
presented strong appearance Of
