Complaints by Virginia citizens
Of water pollution originating at
the Lorton Reformatory were held
unjustified today by District engi-

The investigation was made after
the Virginia State Water Control
Board reported protests from %
Fairfax County residents that the
seNsge sludge dump at the reform
atory was draining into Pohick
Creek, making the water unfit fo1
drinking or recreation.
Samples of creek water showed
equal amounts of minor pollution
above and below the sludge pile
according to Mrs. Dorothy Hoffman
Lorton technician, who was ordered
to make the water analysis by Don
aid Clemmer, director OF the De-
partment of Corrections.
Similar results were reported ir
tests made by the Sanitary Engi-
neering Department, according te
Ralph Thurman, superintendent o1
the Sewage Treatment Plant. Lit
tie pollution was found in the water
and the amount was about the same
as previous tests had detected. Re-

Slot Machine Trials
In Calvert Delayed
Special pispoteh TO The Stor

PRINCE FREDERICK, Md, Dec
3.-Trial of SO persons on gambling
charges in connection with slot ma
chine operations has been contin-
ued until the May term of Calvert
County Circuit Court, following
acquittal of three defendants.
A jury yesterday brought in not
guilty verdicts on Joseph E. Rose,
North Beach real estate man who
was indicted. on seven charges;
George L. Lyles of Paris and Mrs.
Emma j. Ewald of North Beach.
States Attorney Arthur w. Dowell
said he regarded the case of Mr..
Rose as the "key" to the series, but
that acquittal of him and the other
two defendants did not mean
charges would be dropped against
the other So persons. Bond was
continued at $500 each by Judge
John B. Gray, jr.
The grand jury returned Sc in
dictments against 80 persons last
month after a strong charge by
Chief Judge William M. Loker, who
earlier had spurred an investiga-
ton of slot machine operations In
his home county of st. Marys.
Judge Gray overruled demurrers
to the indictments Monday. De-
fense counsel contended the charges
did not specify full particulars OF
the alleged offenses.

high Army officers for 81 years, to-
day has something special to be

They also learned all about barber

Abe Revokes Beer Permit
For Instrumentation

The Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board today revoked the license to
sell beer and light wines held by
Julius and Leon Sack, 4709 Wis
consin avenue NV, because in their
application they concealed the fact
they had a partner. The revocation
is effective December 16.
The Sacks were summoned before
the board for hearing last Monday
on the charges.
They operate a grocery at the
Wisconsin avenue address.
The board denied an application
for the transfer of liquor license
held by Joseph David Footer ano
Sarah Footer from GOT H street NV
to 1109 Mount Olivet road NE. The
board based its decision on the fact
that the majority of property own
ers in the area objected and also
that the proposed store was within
400 feet of church. The board
heard the case October 20.

Loyalty Board Starts
Reviewing Clark LIST
OF Subyersive Groups

A list of alleged subversive organ
izations prepared by Attorney Cen
eral Clark was being reviewed by the
Federal Loyalty Board today prelim-
mary to its transmission to various
Federal departments.
The list in final form will help to
set loyalty standards for Federal en-
ployes, and probably will be made
public soon after 1t has been sent t6
the Government agencies.
The Justice Department has
listed suspect organizations, groups
and movements in accordance with
an executive order from President
Truman issued March 81.
After appropriate investigation,
it was to include all those deemed
"totalitarian, Fascist, Communist OF
subversive," the executive order said
Included also would be any group
advocating force to deprive others
of Constitutional rights or seeking
to alter the Government by uncon-
stitutional means.
Federal employees who maintain
membership in such organizations
run the risk of being dropped from
the public payroll after receiving the
right to state their side of the case
and appeal. Job seekers who are
members of the listed groups can be
denied Federal employment.
The head of each department and
agency is charged personally with
ousting disloyal employees.

Young Missouri Lawyer Wins
Senate Reading Clerk Post
Edward E. Munsur, Jr.,
Beots 40 Contenders
For $4,000 Job

A dark haired young lawyer from
Missouri, Edward E. Mansur, jr.,
today won the $10000-a-year Job Of
reading clerk for the Senate.
The 3O-year-old successor to. the
veteran John C. Crockett, who re-
tired from the post at 50, beat 40
contenders for the job in series
of additions before the Republican
Personnel Committee of the Senate.
The selection was made after two
meetings of the Senate Republican
Conference. Conference Chairman
Millikin explained the conference
had taken infinite pains to select
a good man" for the job because the
reading clerk handles all of the
paper work in addition to the read
ing of bills and communications to
the Senate.
The reading clerk also acts as
secretary of the Senate in the abb
sence of the secretary.
Mr.. Mansur is native OF Jef1er-
son City, Mo-, and won his A. B. and
LII. B. degrees from the University
of Missouri. He has been practicing
law at the State capital. He was a
lieutenant in the Naval Reserve from
May, 1943, to January, 1916, and
served as an aerial navigator in the
antisubmarine patrol in the Allan
tic during the war.
Senator Millikin said the "only
blemish" on Mr.. Mansur's career
was that for time he had served
as an OPA enforcement attorney in
Kansas City.
The new clerk was sponsored by
Senator KEN, Republican, OF Mis-
souri,. The selection was recon-
mended by the conference Personnel

State Senator Bailey
Denies Representing
Slot Machine Group
(Fourth OF Series.)
By Alex R. Preston
Stor Sioff Correspondent

LEONARDTOWN, Md, Dec. B.
State Senator Paul j. Bailey, author
of bill making possible next Tues
days referendum on whether slot
machines shall be made legal, today
branded as false reports that he
represents slot machine interests.
The referendum will be on the
question of whether a license fee
shall be imposed on slot machine
operators. If voters approve this
question the county commissioners
automatically will receive power to
make the machines legal.
Senator Bailey, Republican
elected in a traditionally Demo-
cratic stronghold, was asked what
he had to say Of charges that he
represented slot machine interests
and was retained by Philip Gray
repeatedly the largest machine dis
itrihutor in st. Marys County.
Says Cray Quit Area.
"I do not now represent Mr.. Gray,
Senator Bailey said. "The lawyers
down here do not work on a re.
tainer basis.
GAS a practicing attorney I have
represented Mr.. Gray at various
times in the past. These have been
on normal business matters, such as
handling certain leases for him,
and have never had to represent
him on criminal charges.
ITO the best of my knowledge
Mr.. Gray does not have a single
machine operating in the county
today. I think he gave up in dis
gust and moved to Alaska"
The commissioners, Matthew R.
Bailey, J. Frank Raley and Frank
Bailey, contend that 100000 an
nually can be derived from licens-
ing the machines and a gross re-
ceipts, levy permitted by the So
called Sherbow Commission legis-
lation approved by the regular 1947
session of the General Assembly.
Beside texts Of the bill, the COM
missioners have published in the
local weekly newspapers a detailed
statement of their position.
mot only have we, but our prede-
cessors for years have advocated the
passage of such measure as one
that would yield substantial reve-
nue. to the county to lessen the ever
increasing tax rate on real estate,
they said.
Revenue Sources Needed.
Probably no county in the State
is faced with more serious financial
conditions than ours. Due to the
great increase in population each
week new demands are made upon
us, necessitating additional appro-
priations. We have endeavored to
practice strict economy but were
forced this year to raise our tax
rate. The prospects for the coming
year are far from bright, unless
some new source Of revenue such as
is provided in this bill, is found

Commissioners Back
Arrest Of Suspects
For Investigation

The right of police to arrest
suspected felons on a charge OF
investigation" was backed by the
District Commissioners yesterday
after the practice had been criti-
cized by some members Of Con-
gress and the District Bar Associa-
tion.
The Commissioners, according to
statement issued by Board Chair
man John Russell Young. have
studied the implications of the "in-
vestigation" charge quite thor
oughly," and have discussed the
matter with Corporation Counsel
Vernon E. West.
The statement continued:
Policemen, we are informed, from
the days of the common laws In
England, have had the right to ar
rest a person believed to have COM
mitted a felony. In order to do this,
naturally, the policeman must have
had reasonable grounds for his ac-
ton. That is the basic reason why
certain suspects are brought in and
charged with investigation
ut has been a practice in this
Police Department for over a hall
century, and it is common practice
in all the leading police depart
ments of the country. In some cities
they are charged with suspicion
and in others they are charged with
being "a suspicious person. In all
cities, however, the reason for the
arrest is based on the common law
right of an officer to arrest a sus-
pected felon.
"By placing a technical charge
against the prisoner it enables The
police, if his suspicious are not vel
founded, to release the prisoner
without subjecting the prisoner to q
formal charge, and the necessity OF
procuring counsel, and then appear
ing in court for a hearing of the
offense of which he is suspected.
"The withholding of formal
charge against the prisoner is a
definite benefit to the prisoner in
that it enables his immediate re-
lease in the event that the suspi-
cions of the officer are not substan-
tiated. It is also of definite benefit
to the prisoner in that it obviates
the necessity of placing a formal
charge against the prisoner, whether
it be murder or robbery or any other
felony, which remains on his rec
ord"

that he was one of the many friends
of Mr.. Abbate.
I'VE were youngsters together at

Young Requests West
To Handle C|egg Case
Before Trial Board

Corporation Counsel Vernon E.
West today was asked by Commis-
sioner John Russell Young to handle
personally the Police Trial Board
prosecution of three policemen ac-
cused of illegally OBTAINING and
beating Julius w. Clegg.
Mr.. Young said he made the re-
quest to counteract accusations that
District agencies under his super
vision are being white-washed.
Ordinarily, an assistant corpora.
ton counsel would be designated
to try the case before the three
man board made up of another as
sistant corporation counsel, a police
inspector and a police captain. The
makeup of the trial board to handle
the Clegg case has not yet been
announced, nor has a date been set
Unlawful Arrest Charged.
The three policemen are: Pvt
John c. Gibboney, Detective Sergt
Alex K. Kapsol and Special In
vestigator David S. Ennis of the
sex squad. " - NJ
Clegg, 26-year- -old war veteran
and employe of the Washington
Post, charges that he was unlawful!
arrested, detained at the first pre-
cinct for IS hours and beaten las
August 2. He charges through hi!
attorney, Roger Robb, that he wa.
held incommunicado without charge
while being questioned at detective
headquarters and the precinct sta
ton house.
Precinct Captain Cleared.
Police said Clegg, who lives in the
HOO block of TWenty-f1rst street
NE, was arrested at am. August
2 for investigation after woman
had been accosted on a downtown
street. After IS hours of question
ing, during which time Clegg charges
he was beaten, the man was released
Earlier, a District grand jury re-
fused to return an indictment on
Clegg's charges that he was as
saulted by the policemen. Yester-
day, the Commissioners denied a
request by Mr.. Robb that a special
civilian trial board hear the
charges against the policemen.
At the same time, the Commits
sioners-acting on an opinion by
Corporation Counsel West-absolved
first precinct Capt. Robert c. Pearce
of responsibility for any wrong
doing" that may have taken place.
