Not 10 Be Challenged
BY the Assoeidted Press

The House Campaign Investigat-
ing Committee yesterday refused to
challenge the right Of Representa-
tive Marcantonio, American Labor,
Of New York to a seat In the new
Congress.
The committee investigated Mr..
Marcantonie's victory in the 18th
New York congressional district
over Frederick Bryan, jr., Repub-
lican candidate. 1t attempted to
determine, also, whether the fatal
beating near the polls of Joseph
Scattereggio, Bryan supporter,
was part Of conspiracy to intimi-
date voters.
Most key witnesses, however, were
tied up by grand jury investiga-
ton In New York.
Consequently the House investi-
gators declared:
"We therefore recommend that
when the investigation before the
grand jury and by the local Off
cials in the State of New York is
completed and if facts are developed
to warrant action, that the 80th
Congress take cognizance of that
fact and reopen the case"
The conclusion on the inquiry
into Mr.. Marcantonio's election was
signed by all four of the five COM
mKtee members present at q meet
ing yesterday.
They were Chairman Priest and
Representatives Harris, Democrat,
of Arkansas: Curtis, Republican, of
Nebraska, and Fellows, Republican,
of Maine. Representative Fogerty
Democrat, of Rhode Island was
absent.

in her hand. told police she thought
she was taking Mrs. Rocco's picture.
The first patrolman on the scene,

you?"
Mrs. Rocco replied, he said: "You
fool, she didn't shoot me. My hus-
band did"
Sought in Previous Shooting.
Miss Lusk then said, police re-
ported, that she had been engaged
by man known to her as Allan
La Rue to take picture Of Mrs.
Rocco, who, he told her, was sus-
pected Of carrying jewels under her
clothing. -
La Rue, the woman said, repre-
sented himself as an insurance in
vestigator who was on the trail Of a
big Jewel thief"

woman's husband, Alfresco Rocco,
80, Miss Lusk identified him as the
man she knew as La Rue, police said.

saying they wanted to question him
about yesterdays shooting and

other safety device.

The demonstration was a. fareup
of similar student parades at Peip-
ing, Tientsin and Hongkew over the
week end. They originated in Chi
nese accusations that two United

a Chinese girl, but later generally
were attributed to anti-American
sentiment inspired in part by Chir
nese propaganda against American
help to the Marking government.
Marine officials, investigating the
assault charge, unoff1cialy exoner-

Market 6urgIarized
Early Sunday

Bob NJ Genes Market, oper-
ated by Bob and Gene Schubert,
was burglarized some time early
Sunday morning, a wide choice
of stock of the meat and grocery
establishment being taken.
The burglars greatest achieve
ment was the theft of an expen-
sive Speedgraphic camera, the
property of Bob, which tn e y
found while ransacking the Of
flee.
The Office safe, which is kept
unlocked, attracted them, but
with nothing of commercial value
to them being found, the con-
tents was little disturbed.
The fact that hams, poultry,
eggs. frozen foods, groceries and
cigarettes were taken in abun-
dance indicates that somewhere
in Browning or on the Reser-
walton since then there has been
some inexpensive feasting.
Belief is that the burglary was
no juvenile act, but rather one OF
adults, who are insistent that
the world owes them a living and
that the easiest way to make
collections is through bold early
morning calls, where the latch.
string hangs on the outside.
Entrance to the establishment
was gained by crashing the glass
of the front door. Through the
opening they were able to unlock
the door.
Investigation is under way by
Deputy Sheriff Brown and Town
Chief Upham.
