WASHINGTON, (R- The su- preme court today upheld by a A vote the conviction of two men charged with offering bribes to New York Giant pro football play CTS.
 The pair, Harvey Stemmer and David krakoWer, contended New York state illegally used evidence against them obtained by wire tapping.
 Justice Jackson took no part in the case. By long precedent an equally divided decision upholds the lower court.
 Stemmer and KrakoWer were accused of offering Frankie Fill chock and Merle Hapes S2,5OO each, plus the returns on a 1000 bet, if they would throw game to the Chicago Bears. The game was an important one in the l946 national football league race.
 Stcmmer and KrakoWer were sentenced to 5 to 10 years in pr;- son each. Filchock and Hapes were barred from the league Stemmer and KrakoWer appealed to the high tribunal after the New York Court of Appeals upheld their convictions.

 The civil aeronauticS admins tration has provided a battalion headquarters building at Bethel for storage and administration and has moved it to a site donated by the Alaska native service. Fed eral funds are being used to re- habilitate the structure, according to Headquarters, U. s. Army, Alaska.
 At Nome, the city has given the guard a 99-year lease on three city lots at no cost 10 the government. Two buildings have been obtained from the Alaskan Air Command which will be moved from Marks Air Force Base when weather con- ditiOnS permit.
 Meanwhile, training schedules are being drafted in order that training may start immediately upon activation of units, according to Maj. Milford A. Koehler, as Sistant director of operations and training, U. s. Army, Alaska, who is in charge of civilian compon- ents in Alaska for the army
 Three National Guard instruc- tors have already arrived in Alas ka and are at work on preliminary plans, Major Koehler said. They are lst It. l.. A. Owens, M/Sgt. w. w. Harrington, and M/Sgt.

examination designed to cast
doubt on the proposition that Mr..
Hiss had access to certain of the
papers, as the Government said
he had. Some of the documents
were not marked as having been
distributed to Mr.. Sayre's Office
but were stapled to other papers
which did bear such markings.
Mr.. Cross appeared to suggest
there was no way Of knowing when
the papers had been stapled to-

knowing that these papers had,
in fact. been seen by Mr.. Hiss.

Mrs. Chambers, Rosen
Expected 10 Testify
Next in Hiss Trial
By NewboId koyes, Jr.
Stor Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK. Dec. 3.-Two
important prosecution witnesses,
Mrs. Esther Shemitz Chambers
and the mysterious William Rosen,
probably will make early appear
ances when the second Alger Hiss
perjury trial resumes next week.
Mrs. Chambers is the wife of
Whitaker Chambers. confessed
former Communist agent, who says
Mr. Hiss gave him secret State
Department papers in 1887 and
1888 for transmission to Russian
agents.
At Mr.. Hiss first trial. which
ended with a hung jury last July
8. she lent colorful support to her
husbands claim that the Hiss and
Chambers families were close
friends as well as co-conspirators
in the i930s.
Involved in Car Deal.
Rosen is the Washingtonian
who had been connected with a
strange deal involving the sale Of
an old Ford car by Mr.. Hiss in
1896. Mr.. Chambers says Mr.. Hiss
contrived indirectly to turn this
car over to deserving" Com
munist worker. Rosen refused to
testify last year before the House
Committee on Un-American &C
tivities. pleading he might in
criminate himself if he answered
questions about the deal.
There has been considerable
speculation as to whether Mrs.
Chambers and Rosen will be
called by the prosecution. Both
are under subpoena. however, and
present indications are that
Thomas F. Murphy, assistant
United States attorney. intends
to question them.
Rosen also refused to answer
questions put him by a Federal
grand jury, and in March was
sentenced to- six months i'm
prisonment for contempt Of
court. The ruling was reversed
in the Court Of Appeals, and
Rosen promptly disappeared. His
whereabouts remained unknown
throughout the first Hiss trial.
Finally located last September 26,
standing before Los Angeles de-
partment store, he came back
East under subpoena and agreed
to remain on call for the present
trial.
Days Lone Witness.
Mr.. Hiss, As, former State De-
partment official and former
president of the Carnegie En-
dowment for International Peace,
is accused Of falsely denying to
the grand jury that he gave secret
material to Mr.. Chambers or saw
him after 1887. He says he knew
Mr.. Chambers only casually before
that, as a free-lance writer named
George Crosley."

neys wrestled all day yesterday,

dence that are the hard core of
