was going to study revolutionary

"Is there a different God in New
York than there is here?" MIR. Ford
asked. when Hewitt applied for
his passport he said he lied because
the Communists told him to. Who
told Him to lie when he came here
TO testify against Marzani?
Hell lie if you ask him to-he
said he would. Oh, you think about

ton"
Word for Women Jurors.
| In similar vein, Mr.. Ford attacked
the credibility of the other two prin-
cipal Government witnesses, Louis
Harper, Chicago Communist, and
Archer Drew, New York police un-
dercover agent.
Carl Marzani knows no distinc-
ton in race or creed. IT that
makes you Communist, then I am
one" Mr.. Ford shouted.
The defense attorney also had a
word to say for the benefit of the
six woman members of the jury. He
said the Government was attacking
Marzani because of the fact his wife.
| the former Edith Eisner, was a
Communist and reminded the jury
that in this country women have
political independence.
Those were slave days they are
talking about when women didn't
have her individuality" Mr.. Ford
said. "Marzani is even being perse-
cuted because he married a lovely
woman. That's pretty bad"
Kelley Sees Truth as Issue.
Mr.. Ford, before closing, apol-
ogized to the jury for the vehemence
of his plea. 81 hope my loud voice
has not affected you," he said.
Then he sat down, sobbing au-
dibly. ..
BY contrast, Government Prose-
cutor John M. Kelley, jr,, rebutting
TO rthe State, dropped his voice to
almost inaudible tones as he told
the jury he was confident 1t would
return fair and unprejudiced ver-
dict.
Mr.. Kelley saw 1t as an issue
whether Marzani or Drew was tell
ing the truth.
Drew had testified he knew Mar
zani in New York as q Communist
party branch organizer. Marzani
declared he never saw Drew outside
the courtroom.
Justice Raymond B. Keech re-
cessed the court at noon. He was to
present the jury with his instruc-
tions when the proceedings resumed

Membership in Dispute.
The trial of the 35-year- -old
Arlington man has been in progress
for nearly two weeks.
If he is found guilty, Marzani
faces a possible maximum sentence
of 10 years Imprisonment and a
$4,000 fine on each Of the II counts
of the indictment.
The defense has never denied Mar
zani told Civil Service Commission
and FBI examiners he was not and
had not been a Communist. Since
the beginning, therefore, the issue
in his trial has been whether Mar
zani ever was affiliated with the
Communist Party.

Only One Candidate
From D. c. May Serve,
OAR Counsel Rules

Robert H. McNeill, legal coun-
sci for the OAR, said last night
that If the two District candi-
dates for OAR vice presidential
posts are elected today, only one
can serve. If they are unable
to adjust the matter between
themselves, he added, then it
may be up to the courts to de-
eide"
Mr.. McNeill based his opin-
ion on a provision of the OAR
constitution that no two men,
bers from the same State chap
ter shall serve as vice president
general at the same time.
Supporters Of Mrs. Charles
Carroll Haig, who Is running
for first vice president general,
say the provision doesn't apply
to a cabinet post and therefore
doesn't affect her candidacy.
The other candidate, Mrs. Roy
C. Bowker, is running for one Of
six positions of vice president
general at large.
