NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-Federal
Judge Harold r. Medina today de-
MED an application of defense law
yers in the trial of II high American
Communists which the prosecutor
said might "paralyze the operations
of this court
The application was for an order
directing the Federal Court jury
clerk TO produce the records Of his
office in response to subpoena.
The defense seeks to call the
clerk as part Of its attack on the
Federal jury-selection system in New
York-an attack which has con-
fsumed nearly all OF the II days of
the conspiracy trial 50 far.
Unions Seek to Intervene.
United States Attorney John F. x.
McGohey said, If understand the
subpoena it would probably
include every piece of paper in the
clerks office"
Before the court ruling on this
motion, three CIO unions sought to
intervene in the trial by asking per-
mission to present briefs and argu-
ments on the jury system here.
Judge Medina told the attorney
for the unions to submit their plea
next Monday after Mr.. McGohey
had said Federal Court rules require
five days notice for such motions
The three unions are the Fur and
Leather Workers, the Mine. Mill
and Smelter Workers and>the Food,
Tobacco, Agricultural and Allied
Workers.
Have Interest in Issues.
Their petition said the union
members have q peculiar interest
in the issues raised by the defend
ants" 1t continued:
IF it is true, as defendants allege
and have offered to show, that there
is . deliberate and systematic exclu-
sion of persons Of humble station;
of laborers and other workers, par
ticularly of those who work by the
day or hour, and Of those who, for
economic reasons reside in we'll
defined geographic areas where
rentals are low and accommodations
inferior, then it means that those
who comprise petitioners member
ship and similar persons are pre-
eisely those who are excluded from
jury service"
Yesterday Judge Medina engaged
in sharp exchanges with defense
counsel as he sought to speed up the
trial.

eral Reserve Boards trial Of the San
Francisco corporation on antitrust
charges involving alleged monopoly

Arizona through stock ownership.
Mr.. Evans said he would refer to
the board another motion that it
reconsider previous refusal to dis
miss its charges.

ure OF the board to show that

of America accounts for IS per cent
OF the total of 598 branch banking
Offices which the board contends
constitute the credit monopoly it
alleges.
