Fay Reports Dropping
Some Phone Cases on
Recent Court Rulings

y Withdrawal of some requests
for removal of telephones that
figured in anti-gambling raids last
March resulted from recent Dis
trict Court cases that clarified the
type of evidence necessary to sup
port disconnect orders here,
United States Attorney George
Morris Fay said today.
Mr.. Fay did not disclose how
many such requests he has
dropped. He originally asked for
removal of 326 telephones follow
ing raids on establishments his
Office believed were violating Dis
trict laws against gambling. The
raids led to grand jury indict-
ment of SO men.
One of the requests withdrawn.
Mr.. Fay disclosed, was in the case
Of Harry and Bertha Katz, 1859
Walbridge place NV. Mr.. Fay's
right to have the telephone taken
out was challenged by Mr.. Katz
before the Public Utilities Com
mission. The commission revised
the tariff section concerning il
legal use Of telephones. When the
Katz suit for an injunction came
up in District Court last month,
Judge James w. Morris ordered
a further Qualification.
Ask FEC for Hearings.
In a further move yesterday
Mr.. and Mrs. Katz asked the Fed
eral Communications Commission
to require telephone companies to
hold hearings when they propose
to disconnect service to sub
scribers.
Their petition to the FEC re-
called they were notified last
March 80 by the Chesapeake &
Potomac Telephone Co. that their
telephone would be disconnected
on the basis Of information from
the United States attorney. The
information, the telephone notice
stated, was that Mr.. Fay had
confidential evidence the phone
was being used in violation Of
the statutes prohibiting gambling
in the District"
Removal was requested. Mr.. and
Mrs. Katz noted. under q tele-
phone company regulation pro-
viding for discontinuance of serv-
ice when believed to violate the
law. The regulation has been
adopted by most telephone COM
panies throughout the country at
the request Of FEC.
Attacking the regulation, Mi
and Mrs. Katz complained it had
been used to deny free speech
and due process Of law. They
asked that the regulation be
thrown out or changed ito re-
quire adequate notice Of hearing

,,:Riva! Once Attempted
10 Have Bridges Slain,
ss,,Defense Lawyer, Says
By the Assoeiotsd Press

~ ~. SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 15.-
Prospective jurors in the Gov
ernment's perjury trial of Harry
Bridges we're told by a defense
slawyer yesterday that a rival
:union head once sought to have
Bridges killed.
Bridges, 4S. Australian-born
and for Is years head Of the left
wing .CIo Longshore Union, is
charged with perjury in testify
ing at his 1945 naturalization
Shearing that he had never been
q Communist. Two aides, j. r.
Robertson and Henry Schmidt,
are charged. with aiding Bridges
to obtain citizenship by fraud.
AS the jury selection proceeded
Vincent Hallinan, chief defense
counsel. told one venireman that
Harry Lundeberg, head of the
AFL Sailors Union of the Pa
cific. once literally and actually
a hired murderers to try to kill
Harry Bridges" He asked the
man how he would receive testi-
mony from witnesses testifying
under Lundeberg's direction.
Court Sustains Objection
Federal Judge George Harris
sustained the Governmentt
speedy objection to the question
"If it were shown, "Mr. Hallinar
then asked, that certain AFI
officers such as Harry Lundebere
and Dave Beck (of the teamsters)
were guilty of atrocious conduct
bearing on the creditibility of wit
nesses, what weight would you
give to this evidence?"
Again the Government objected
The court observed there was
perhaps "an element OF the in
fiammatory in the question.
When Mr.. Hallinan indicated he
planned. to seek to bring inter-
union feuds into the record, Judge
Harris said:
IT think your optimism is un-
warranted, Mr.. Hallinan. We are
not going to try any labor union
or group here"
Eight Week Trial Seen
Judge Harris told the venire-
men to count on a trial lasting
possibly eight weeks. He asked
whether they had read such pub
lications as the Peoples World,
Soviet Russia Today. the Daily
Worker or the New Masses.
Three of those examined yester-
day were excused.
Conviction on the charges
carries up to possible seven
years Imprisonment and $4,000
fine. In addition. Bridges could
be deported. A civil suit seeking
to revoke Bridges citizenship on
grounds of fraud also is pending.
It is the third time in II years
the Government has brought pro-
ceedings against Bridges, who has
been quoted as saying: I'm the
only man in the United States
who has a Supreme Court decision
munist."
Here we go again." he said as
the trial got under way.

Vending Machine Move
Proves Business. etter

A. R. Geist hated to tear down
the attractive little building which
had been his office when his
Traffic Circle service station at
Still Valley, N. j., grew up and re-
quired larger quarters.
Instead, he moved all the vend-
ing machines he had put in over
the course of years into one spot in
the old building, added few COM
Portable chairs, and invited car
weary patrons to use the building
as a lounge.
The relocation did so well for
both the vending machines and the
service business that Geist is plan
ming to add a frankfurter machine,
a hot coffee machine selling coffee
in paper cups, more cold drink
machines, and an ice cream
vendor so that he can offer motor
lists a 100 per cent automatically
dispensed lunch. Attractive fea-
ture of the plan to Geist is that it
requires no extra labor.

ed, "often means disaster"
Connie Brigham wrinkled her
cute little turned-up nose, closed
one eye and stared soberly at
Uncle Ralph with the other. Uncle
Ralph cleared his throat and began
to let his gaze wander about the
room. He felt guilty.
(which" said Connie, with the
slightest Of wrinkles, "is polite
way of suggesting that accept
Bob Merrill, and forget all about
Don Baxter. She stood up and ruff
fled Uncle Ralph's hair, an act
which he resented delightfully."-. And
Connie went on: "Uncle Ralph, just
why is it that you dislike Don so
much? I think he's fascinating"
Uncle Ralph snorted. "Don-
aid Baxter" he said, 'is not
a fit young man to become the
husband Of any girl. He's
flighty, unreliable, impulsive,
and out of a job. You never
can tell what he's going to do
next"
"He's romantic" said Connie.
Hes after your money!" said
Uncle Ralph.
"And he's so good looking" said
Connie.
Uncle Ralph coughed. ION the
other hand, Bob Merrill is depend

"That's just the trouble" said
Connie.
"What's just the trouble?" said
Uncle Ralph.
Hes steady and dependable. So
easy to read. Life with Bob would
be safe, yes. but it would also be
monotonous."
Despite his outward jovialness
while conversing with Connie,
Uncle Ralph was worried.
I wish, thought Uncle Ralph, I
only wish something would happen
to open her eyes. Drat that Don
Baxter, you never could tell what
he'd do next.
Two days later Uncle Ralph had
come no nearer to solving the prob

He had considered every

McGRATH STATES
HIGH PLACE FOR
JUSTICE DEPT.

WASHINGTON - (ANP(-Atty.
Gen. Howard McGrath has taken
steps to lift the civil rights section
of the department of justice from a
third-rate functionary unit to ma
jor arm section in departmental af-
fairs, it was disclosed here last
week.
The attorney generals actions are
based upon recommendations made
in the 1947 report of the Presidents
caused a split in the Democratic
party in 194S The following action
has been taken:
l. Selected a chief for the section
who will be a regular instead of act
ing section head, as has been the
case more than a year. Announce
ment of the new chief is being with
held until the selectee formally ac-
cepts the post.
2. Sought approval of the budget
bureau for a big boost in funds for
the fiscal year 1851. in order that
the section might be expanded from
it's present strength of six attor-
neys and nominal stenographic
help. No exact figures could be OBJ
tanned on the proposed fund in
crease, but it is said to be in the
neighborhood of 100000. enough to
double the present staff.
3. Laid plans for gaining congress
sional approval to lift the section to
division status with an assistant at
torney general in charge. 1t was dis
closed that a measure will be intro
duced in the next Congress for this
purpose. In addition, McGrath viii
ask for improvements in existing
civil rights statues administered by
the section.
These moves are almost certain to
raise another fuss in Congress since
both the Democrats and Republi-
cans will be jockeying for position
on the civil rights program in an
election year.
