Appeals Court Rejects
ILLEGAL Arrest Claim

A man who claimed he was lille
gally arrested on q numbers
charge by a policeman without a
warrant lost his case in the United
States Court Of Appeals yesterday
The court, in a unanimous opin-
ion written by Judge Edgerton
and concurred in by Judges Pref
lyman and Proctor, declared 1t
had mo doubt of the legality of
the arrest and search"
The appellant. Bernard New
yahr. was arrested September 8,
1948. at a cafe, in the 800 block
OF K street NV. by Pvt. Samuel
E. Wallace. then of the Police De-
partment vice squad.
Pvt. Wallace testified at the
District Court trial that he went
in plain clothes to the cafe and
placed a numbers bet and gave q
marked quarter to Newyahr's wife.
Newyahr conferred with his wife
and talked with Pvt. Wallace, the
record stated. Three uniformed
policemen then entered. found the
marked quarter on Newyahr and
arrested him.
In upholding the District Court
conviction, the appellate court ex-
planned that solution Of the prob
lem hinges upon facts and circum-
stances known by Wallace, q po-
liceman." There was strong sup
port" for Wallace's testimony and
for the finding that Newyahr pos
sessed marked evidence sufficient
to justify an arrest without a
warrant. the Court Of Appeals
decided.

negligent homicide will be issued
against Mr.. Hill. who also was
charged with failure to give the

ground and one plane falling.
II parked my car and ran to
the river bank. I saw them bring
a woman out of the wreckage and
several men. They were terribly
battered. I could not stand to
look any more.
One witness said a child was
taken from the river alive.
Account of Crash.
The Civil Aeronautics Admins
tration rushed experts to the
scene. They gave this account of
the actual crash:
The P-38 had left the airport
on the test run. AS Pilot Rios
came back toward the field he
asked for landing instructions and
was advised by the tower that he
was second to come down, behind
the Eastern Airlines fight.
The tower ordered the Bolivian
pilot to circle the field so as to
come down after the airliner. He
did not acknowledge the call,
which the tower repeated several
times.
Tower observers saw him COM
ing straight in and called to him
to pull up. There was no indica-
ton that he heard or understood,
the order. D.; ....:
Mr.. Rios. 49,. was identified by
the Bolivian Embassy as that
country's best pilot with training
at various United States schools
in Randolph Field. The Embassy
had made a so per cent down
payment on the plane and was
making the test run today to de-
termine whether to complete the
purchase.
Was Headed for Atlanta.
The big DC-4 had left Boston at
9 am. and had stopped at New
York. 1t cleared La Guardia Air
port at 1920 am. and was due to
land here at 11:46 am. Its des-
tination was Atlanta, with stops at
Charlotte and Raleigh, N. C.
Bodies were thrown more than
$50 feet from the passenger COM
partments and personal effects.
clothing and other items were
picked from trees and bushes
where the impact had hurled
them.s
The airliner struck at the rivers
edge. skidded down an embank-
ment and into the mud. A mans
hat, a woman's coat and a brief
case that had burst open, spewing
the contents. was found near the
wreckage.
Pilot Under Treatment.
One of the first of the dead to
be identified was Harold v.
Smith, so, of Saratoga Springs,
N. Y. He was pronounced dead
len route from the Airport to
Emergency Hospital in an Ar
lington Hospital ambulance.
DR.. Arthur Mourot of Alexan-
dria Hospital identified one of the
crash victims under treatment as
Mr.. Rios, pilot of the P-38. The
doctor said Mr.. Rios is suffering
from severe decorations Of the
head and back injuries.
DR.. L. G. Lederer, airport physi-
clan. was at Alexandria Hospital
awaiting the arrival of the city
coroner. DR.. Lederer said that as
soon as the coroner released the
bodies, he would begin the task
Of identifying the 10 at the hos

Rogge Presents Bail Appeal
For II Convicted Reds
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Nov. IA lawyer
for the II convicted Communist
leaders said today that denial of
bail to them is threat to tradi-
tional American freedom.
THE issue is whether we're 60
ing to be a free country" the at
torney, former assistant United
States Attorney General o. John
Rogge. told the United States Cir
cult Court Of Appeals.
The Communists are asking the
court to overrule Federal Judge
Harold r. Medina, who refused to
free the II party leaders on bail
pending appeal of their conviction
on charges of conspiring to teach
overthrow of the United States
Government by force. Ten were
sentenced to five-year terms and
one to three years.
One Of the three appeals judges,
Jerome Frank, offered to withdraw
from the case If the Communists
lawyers felt he could not be i'm
partial. Il have been severely
critical of American Communists"
Judge Frank said.
The lawyers announced after
comforting among themselves that
they saw no reason for Judge
Frank to disqualify himself. Mr..
Rogge said he himself had dis
agreed with the Communists. But
he said freedom not communism.
is the issue. .-..
Mr.. Rogge said the convicted
men should not be imprisoned
until the Supreme Court has
passed on the constitutionality of

were tried and convicted.

Victory for Lehman

man and Mrs. Roosevelt over the
Barden bill for Federal aid to edu-
cation, which excludes any aid for
parochial schools. No one knows
how many of these voters feel
deeply enough to vote against Mr..
Lehman-and these voters are not
telling-either the political leaders
or the pollsters. It's the kind of
thing they keep to themselves I'M
til they get into the polling
booths.
The 11th-hour decision for
President Truman to speak over
the radio next Saturday night in
behalf of Mr.. Lehman is regarded
as evidence of the uncertainty of
the Democratic leadership. It had
previously been agreed that Mr..
Truman's personal aid was not
needed that much.
AS the campaign moves on
toward close, there is a growing
belief that an unusually large
number of voters for an off-year
election will go to the polls.
The Congress of Industrial
Organizations and American Fed
Grafton Of Labor and the railroad
brotherhoods are working fever
ishly for the election of Mr.. Leh-
man. Incidentally, this is the first
time there has been this CONSOLE
dalton of effort in such an cleo
ton. The Republicans, on the
other hand. are working like beav-
ers to get out the rural upstate
vote and it looks as though they
might succeed.
6,316,322 Registered.
The registration of voters is
larger than in any comparable
year-with 2,774, 308 in New York
City, q Democratic stronghold,
and 3,592,014 in the rest of the
State. This is total of 6,316,322
registered voters. The very fact
there has been a large registra-
ton is taken as an indication
there is something in the wind
but which way the wind is blowing
Is still undetermined.
The Lehman hackers are claim
ing victory by anywhere from
100000 to 100000. One thing
seems to be certain. Unless Mr..
Lehman can roll up a lead of
more than 100000 in the city, he
will be in grave danger of defeat,
and that if it drops to 100000,
his goose will be cooked.
Democratic State Chairman
Paul E. Fitzpatrick takes a dim
view of the Dulles strength up
state. declaring Senator Dulles
will be lucky if he comes down
to the city with a 100000 lead.
He figures that Mr.. Lehman will
have a margin of 100000 in the
city. and his victory will be won
by at least 100000 votes.
Representative William L. Pfeif-
Ter, Republican State chairman,
predicts that Mr.. Lehman's pIu-
rality in the city will be held to
less than 100000. and that Sen
ator Dulles should win by more
than 100000.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick maintains that
Mr.. Lehman has gained much
strength up State during his 10
years as Governor. He also
points out that a great deal of
organizing for Mr.. Lehman has
been done in upstate cities by
the labor leaders.
