Alleged AccompIice

Walter w. Kidwell, who has
pleaded guilty to participation in
la $4,000 counterfeiting ring
here, today told a District Court
jury trying his alleged accom-
plices that he did not promise one
of them he would try to clear him
when he came to trial.
The defendant he referred to
was Arthur M Bebar of the 1000
block of Seventeenth street NE.
who is on trial before Judge Alex
ander Holtzof with Mr.. and Mrs.
William M. Hughes of the 5000
block of Thirteenth street NV.
KidWell, who has been on the
stand for two days as one OF the
Governments chief witnesses. said
under Cross by De-
fense Attorney John Fitzpatrick
that he met Bebar in a restaurant
not long after their arrest last
July.
Told of Signing Statement.
He insisted. however, that all he
told Bebar was that he had signed
statement to the effect that
Bebar had made the counterfeit
ing plates on instructions from
Kidwell. The witness added he
signed the statement because he
wanted to be honest and tell the
| truth" He denied defense Sug-
gestions that he had said he would
clear Bebar.
Kidwell, a former sign painter
and taxi-cab driver, pleaded guilty
Monday.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick, representing
Bebar, began cross-examining
Kidwell late yesterday after the
confessed counterfeiter turned
States evidence.
Used Offset Process.
Kidwell, who told the jury he
was IAN artist in an amateurish
sort of way" explained how he
printed the bogus bills on multi
lith machine in an Office suite in
the 1900 block of H street NV.
He conceived the idea of utiliz-
ing the Offset printing process un-
der which Photographic images
are transmitted directly to metal
plate as a counterfeiting tool.
Kidwell testified.
Bebar. Kidwell said. was the
craftsman whom he persuaded to
photograph a $40 bill and repro
duce the image on a metal plate.
Bebar was manager of an offset
printing establishment in the 1900
! block of NJ street NV

Using a good grade of bond
paper. Kidwell testified. he and
Creighton printed 100000 in less
than month. He said he made a
tour of 10 cities passing the bogus
bills. When he returned to WASH
ington. Kidwell testified, he and
Creighton decided they needed
assistants to help them dispose
of the bogus bills.
Kidwell testified he took a suit
case loaded with phoney money
to the apartment of Mr.. and Mrs.
Hughes. The couple later re-
turned the suitcase, he testified.

'Post0ffice Rebellion
|nChevyChase Beaten
By Older Residents

A post Office rebellion" in Chevy
Chase Village was put down by
overwhelming odds last night aft
er an exchange of charges be-
tween neighbors and an invita-
ton for the insurrectionist new
comers" to move out if they don t
like the way things stand.
More than 200 freeholders at
tended the special town meeting
reminiscent of New England S
early days-to vote 1874 to IL in
favor of keeping the village post
Office and expanding it to meet
the terms of a new lease. The
meeting was held in the 45-year-
old post Office building on Con-
necticut avenue at West Lenox
avenue.
The special meeting was called
by the Village Board of Managers
in response to circulars dis
tributed by a small group of resi-
dents. Directors complained of
noise at the post office, which
also serves as library and village
office.
Old Residents Favor Post Office.
The residents of one of the
Washington areas most exclusive
neighborhoods proudly announced
how long they had lived there. In
general it appeared that those
who held the most rank" by liv-
ing there the greatest number of
years had no objection to the post
Office. In fact, they strongly de-
sired that it be retained.
Edward S. Northrop, 7007
Meadow lane, counsel to the Board
of Managers, who practices law in
Washington, read a report cover
ing the history of the postal ia
cility. A 10-year lease expired
in July but prior to that the Post
Office Department had started ne
gotiations to renew the lease, he
said.
/ The community-owned building
brought in s4.150 a year under the
old lease while the new arrange
ment will provide $8.025 annually.
This, it was pointed out by some,
would help keep the special tax
areas rate lower,
Called Session After Objections.
Board Chairman Arthur W..
Defenderfer of Z East Kirke street
said his group had authority to
negotiate the lease but had called
the special session in response to
objections by eight residents.
He said 1900 square feet of
floor space in the addition would
cost $4,000 but the new lease
will run for 10 years.
It looked as if the opposition
would not be heard when cries
for a vote were raised early in
the meeting. This was after only
Mrs. Charles G.. Moore. 5 West
Lenox street, and Frederick Stohl-
man, 1O1 Grafton street, had urged
that the lease renewal be ap-
proved. .
Mr.. and Mrs. Everett B. Will
son, jr., Laurel parkway, soon
were heard in opposition, how
ever. Mrs. Wilson said that when
she telephoned the post Office to
complain of the noise there at
$50 am. recently, "the man an
swering the phone said people
were making so much noise he
couldn't hear me-"
Opposes Expansion.
Mr.. Wilson contended the office
already is serving more than 10000
District residents and should not
be enlarged to serve more.
Mr.. Northrop's report, however.
said the area had been decreased
through the years although ad-
mitting the population has in
creased. The area served is
bounded by Harrison street NV,
on the south, Beach drive on the
north, Rock Creek on the east
and River road on the west.

night. The pitcher. Jocko Thomp-

on July 4. beat the Cards. The
Phils still are hopping mad.
Five of the Cards final games
are against the tail-end Chicago
Cubs and the other two against

Dodgers Belt Six Pitchers.
While the Dodgers mopped up
the Cards before 3o.765 fans at
Sportsman's Park, the American
League pennant picture remained
unchanged. The first-place New

game with last-place Wash

second-place Boston Red Sox, who
trail the Yanks by two games,
were idle, as was the rest of the
American League.
Brooklyn belted Red Munger

in every inning except the second

Carl Furillo led the massacre,

The st. Louis Cardinals, down
through the years. have gained
a reputation as a never -say-die"
team.
Baseball fans are wondering to-
day if the present crew of Car
dinals will live up to the saying
made famous by their illustrious
predecessors.
The Cardinal spirit should be
low. They suffered one of the most
humiliating defeats in their long
history last night. 1876 trounc-
ing at the hands of the second
place Brooklyn Dodgers.
Coming on the heels of a SO
beating the previous night, the
Cardinal pennant outlook, which
was peaches and cream Wednes-
day afternoon, has curdled some
what.
The Cards are only a half game
in front of the charged-up
Dodgers today and they have
seven games left to play to the
Dodgers six.
Brooklyn entered st. Louis
Wednesday and dropped a thrill
ing 10 afternoon decision to fall
212 games behind.
The Cards started the night
half of the day-night double
header extremely confident. A
victory would just about have
clinched the pennant, but Preacher
Roe stood them on their ears with
a brilliant two-hitter and Dodger
flag hopes were famed again.
Dodgers Road Still Rough
Despite Roe's masterpiece, the
Cards still could have taken a
stranglehold on the lead with a
victory last night. But the
Dodgers, with their backs to the
wall, made the Cards look like
a Glass D outfit instead of the
top team in the National League.
Card Manager Eddie Dyer will
have to employ all the tricks he
knows to keep his boys from CIV
ing up while Dodger Skipper Burt
Shotton will have to watch out
lest his crew get too cocky.
Four of Brooklyn's remaining
games are against the pesky third
place Philadelphia Phils and two
against the dethroned champion
Boston Braves.
The Phils are laying for the
Dodgers. Brooklyn players were
reported to have accused the Phils
of favoritism when Manager Eddie
