l. The Taft Hartley law went into
full effect only last Friday while;
2. The cases involve conditions
which existed under the Wagner

In calling for a separate review
of each of the old cases, NLRB Gen.

examined in the light of the Taft

sary.

Enough Evidence Now
For Raedy Car Case
Action, King Says
Prosecutor Hesitutes to
Go to Court Without
. Conclusive Proof

Assistant Corporation Counsel
Clark King today declared he
probably has enough evidence
to take the hit-and-run case in
volving Municipal Judge Ellen X.
Raedy's car into court, but added
that he wants to get as much
conclusive evidence as possible
before taking action.
Consequently. Mr.. King said he
is awaiting the discovery of addi-
tional witnesses in the mystery sur
rounding the identity Of the driver
of Judge Raedy's automobile when
it was involved in an accident last
Tuesday night.
"The newspapers are not ahead
of me in this inquiry" he added
They are ahead of the police.
"It is not my job to go out and
get witnesses-that's the police job
Seeks to Check ALI Angles.
He added that there could not be
too much evidence" and that If he
carried the case to Corporation
Counsel Vernon E. West in its pres.
ent form that the latter would have
"some pertinent questions about the
evidence" which he hopes to cleaI
up later.
They are not putting me on the
spot in this investigation as long
as I make every effort to check every
angle" Mr.: King added.
A cab driver who had been re-
ported to have taken couple from
Judge Raedy's automobile for a
cooling drive after the acci-
dent proved to be "just another false
lead,' Mr.. King said after ques-
tioning the driver.
Il have had four such false leads
Of top proportions such as this
which we have run down and fol-
lowed from every angle" he said
1T had been reported to me that
this man saw the couple park the
hit -and run car and then flag his
cab. I am satisfied that this is just
another one of those hear say
stories which, of course, we have to
check to be sure"

corner of First and K streets NV.

late last Friday-for Jimmy Frisby,
