guilty of either of the two counts,
or return verdicts differing as to
individuals or combinations of in
dividuals.
The Government contends that
the alleged syndicate crossed some
$14. 100000 year, mostly in
Washington. The trial is the most
important to grow out of a series
of eight raids ordered by District
Attorney George Morris Fay last
March against gamblers in the
District and others across the
Maryland line said to be operat-
ing in Washington. Almost 40
persons were arrested on gaming
charges as result of the raids.
The outcome Of the first trial
undoubtedly will have a bearing
on others to come up later. The
prosecution was expected to take
immediate steps for a new trial if
the present trial, now in it's fourth
week. results in a hung jury.
The jury has been instructed
that unless its members are con-
vinced beyond a reasonable doubt
that the alleged conspiracy had
its inception in the District, they
are to bring in q verdict of not
guilty on the graver count.
Considerable Testimony Offered.
They were charged on the
second count. however. that if
they found that any essential
part of a numbers betting OPERA,
tion had taken place in the Dis
trict. they were to bring in guilty
verdicts on this charge, even if
headquarters of the ring was in
Maryland and part of the trans
actions were carried out there.
The Government offered con-
siderable testimony to place the
operations Of numbers writer's and
runners in the District, but there
was comparatively little to sub
stantiate the theory that the
syndicate originated here.
In his closing statement, Assist
ant United States Attorney Will
Lam Hitz declared one of the
defendants had told an investiga-
tor after his arrest that the group
was organized in the District and
moved out to Maryland ito get
away from the law"

the alleged gamblers are expected
to appeal any convictions the
jury may decide upon. The Ia

because many seamstresses were
stranded in their suburban homes.
End of Wage Freeze Sought.
The two big unions-one anti
Communist, the other Red-domi-
nated-got together to call the
one-day demonstration strike.
They want to pressure the gov
ernment to give pay bonuses and
end wage freezes.
Thousands of pretty girls
and MISUNDERSTANDING busi-
nessmen put aside their dignity,
got out their bicycles and pedaled
doggedly to their jobs.
Other thousands took their cars
out of the garage and used ra-
toned gasoline, boarded for vaca-
tions, to get to work. Paris firms
hired buses wholesale to haul their
employees. Traffic was even more
snarled than usual.
Labor did not appear to be car
rying on any agitation now that
the strike was on. There were no
reports of clashes between strikers
and non strikers. No big demon
strations were scheduled. No un-
usual numbers of policemen were
patrolling about or on bicycles.
Food Stores Stay Open.
Food stores everywhere were
open. Aperitif-loving Frenchmen
found all their cafes and bistros
doing business. Most banks and
the Paris stock exchange were at
work. A spokesman at the Postal
Ministry said the situation was
"about normal in the mail busi-
ness all over France.
Hotels reported their staffs at
normal strength. Telephone calls
were accepted to all parts of
France and abroad. There were no
newspapers in Paris, though, and
the state-owned radio was silent
except for three news bulletins
during the day.
Frances equivalent of Macy'si
and Gimbers-the department
stores Galleries Lafayette and
Printemps-said from 95 to 100
per cent of their normal stats
were at work despite the subway
shutdown.
Some Planes Cancelled.
Planes from Rome, Tunis, Al
giers and New York were can
celled. But the airlines said planes
would fly on schedule to Dakar,
Madagascar, Cairo, Casablanca,
Madrid. Barcelona and London.
Though domestic train service
was almost entirely suspended,
the Care du Nord said interna-
tional trains carrying passengers
bound for Britain, Belgium and
Copenhagen would run on time.
Spot interviews with Parisians
on the streets revealed almost
unanimous opposition to the
strike and determination not to
lose a days pay. Liberal and Con-
servative newspaper had de-
nounced the work stoppage,
expected to cost France 10,700.-
100000 francs (about $30. 900 .000).
French observers said today's
strike was a pale imitation Of
prewar general strikes. like those
in 1919 and 1886. <
