MistriaI Is Refused,
Ke|ly's Wife Testifies
In Hod Carriers Case

Justice Alexander HoltZoff today
refused to declare a mistrial in the
$l0O,000 hod carriers case in District
Court, and the Government con-
tinued by placing the wife of the
missing defendant Larry Kelly on
the stand.
Six men, including Kelly, who, the
defense contends, is dead, are on.
trial charged with conspiracy.
Defense Counsel Charles E. Ford
sought the mistrial when a Govern
ment witness mentioned slot ma
chimes in the st. Mary's Cafe, near
Cedar Point Md naval base. Mr..
Ford indicated that the Govern
ment was attempting to bring in a
gambling issue. ! Justice Holtzoff
denied the motion.
The government charges funds
of Local 1872 of the Interna tional
Hod Carriers Union were diverted
illegally to build the st. Mary's
Cafe, another cafe and two barracks
as part of the conspiracy.
Mrs. Kelly said she married Kelly
in December. 1912. and she kept
the books for Local 801 at GUAM
tico, Va. in the Alexandria, Va,
Office at first. Later. she worked
for the union at Hyattsville, Md,
she said. She testified property
purchased in Southern Maryland
was taken in her name and she
signed papers in a lawyers office
at Leonardtown
Mrs. Kelly spoke in such a low
tone that Justice Holtzof repeatedly
asked her to speak up. Defense
counsel complained they could not
hear what she was saying and
moved their chairs closer to her.
James F. Brown, colored, Local
832 president. completed his testi-
mony this morning, declaring a
$500 loan made by his union in
1912 was understood to be to the
District Council of the union here
for barracks only. He said the
money never has been repayed. al
though it was supposed to have
been. He said he never knew Mrs.
Kelly or Isaac Weiner, Leonard
town businessman and a defendant,
had been given lease on the prop
erty by the union.
Mr.. Brown told the prosecutor,
Special Assistant to the Attorney
General Leo A. Rover. that once
laborers were hired they could sleep
on the naval reservation in special
barracks. He said Local 832 never
took any action beyond authorizing
the $500 loan.
Jack L. Kremer, tavern keeper

near Cedar Point, another Govern
ment withess. testified slot machines
were in st, Marys Cafe, one of the
buildings the Government claims
was built illegally with union funds.
AS soon as Mr.. Kremer mentioned
slot machines Mr.. Ford was on his
feet, indicating the Government was
trying to establish gambling was
permitted there.
He asked for the mistrial, but Mr.
Rover said he had no intention of
developing the gambling angle, al
though it was illegal. Justice Holtz-
off said he did not think the gam
bling angle contributed to the issues
in this case.

This paste may be used in creating
designs on the wood also. Available
for decorating, too, is small jewel
box with a hook clasp, purchasable
at the shop for most modest fee.
The sisters primary concern is to
see that their students are supplied
with ideas. It's their theory, that
careful work by the students will
result In eye-catching products, and
artistic ability isn't necessary. A
little imagination can turn the most
prosaic item into an attractive as
set. BY way of demonstration, they
pointed to an ironing board that
has been painted a bright French

WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Lovnan

DR.. q. r. Alsop has been . physi-
clan at Barnard College for 30 years.
During that time she has been In
close contact with the girls who
have been pupils there and has
watched over their health. When
DR.. Alsop told me she Is ST years old
it was difficult to believe. She has
very few gray hairs and emanates
vitality and well being, as well as
vital good spirits. 7 expressed my
surprise and asked for her secret
formula.
She is a great and ardent believer
in correct nutrition. The following
list is the ore she gave me as q
daily requirement: Two glasses of
milk all of our lives, an egg a day
until Is, whole wheat or stone-
ground oats, three oranges a day.
six are better; one raw vegetable,
two cooked vegetables, including
potatoes; meat according to your
pocketbook. She said, Young peo-
pie should be well fed, older ones
not so well fed. People should curb
their food intake as they grow older,
that is. as to quantity, but not
quality"
DR.. Alsop also feels there are two
other factors which lead to lowered
vitality. No. is not enough sleep.
Adequate sleep, she believes. Is vital
to a high energy level and to fine
health. She said, Many people
have problems as to sleep. That Is
natural, but they should and can
solve them"
No. 2 is young people try to do
too many different things. They
scatter their energy in too many
different ways. This leads to fatigue
and sense Of Illustration.
1t seems to me that my little talk
with this well-loved physician
brings you a compact pill of advice.
Certainly we can all follow her diet
suggestions, for they are simple.

"I always felt I'd definitely &C
complish one thing by having craft
shop of my own," Madeleine Keilty
declared. "At least I'd have a place
to work" Whether or not she and
her sister Geraldine, co-owners OF
a brand-new, attractive Georgetown
shop, will have time to so much as
pick up a scissors or brush remains
to be seen. With the shop less than
a week old, the craft classes they
offer are rapidly filling up. But at
least she's seen to it that other
eager craftsmen won't be frustrated
by lack of working space. Spurred
by memories of her past plight,
Madeleine added a puttering room
to the shop, and offers "puttering
periods" to the experienced crafts
man who has nary square foot on
which to set his tools. The putter-
ing period fee entities the worker to
the use of the workshop and to the
necessary tools. "Putterers" may
also buy their material at the shop.
Although born in Philadelphia,
the sisters have lived in Washington
since childhood. Madeleine served
as a WAC commanding officer for
three-and- half years during the war.
While at her Army post, she set up
craft shop, much needed, she de-
clared, as a source of recreation for
the personnel The shop was liter
ally built from scratch, with even
the work bench turned out by the
WACS themselves. Gerry, who re-
