Prof. Wilkersons
Ties Up ornInie Trial
With Statistics

NEW YORK-For three days
the very learned Professor Dox-
ey Wilkerson tied up the trial of
the IL big brains of the Com
muniSt Party who are being
charged with conspiring to over
throw the u. S.. Government.
Wilkerson appeared with all
kinds of charts, graphs, ETC., to
show that there ia federal plot
affot which deprives the COM
mon man of jury duty and that
the rich dominate justice at
least locally in New, York. And
to prove his carefully wrought
points, Wilkerson called in some
grand jurors.
Wilkerson's common men turn
ed up with amusing comments.
One, when asked if he were
white or Negro, responded: i
am Of the American race" He
stuck to this ncn-discriminator tory
answer until Judge Harold r.
Medina got him to agree that
for the record he was white. An
other witness, citing himself as
a jobless business conultant
when asked about race, snapped ::
I'm white-just a little sun
burned"
Meanwhile Wilkerson continu.
ed SO with his statistics that even
five CT the defendants asked to
excused saying they had to at
tend to other matters. The court
granted their requests.

OK PENALTY
FOR LAWYER
OF A NEGRO

WASHINGTON, D. C.-When a
Texas judge says don't mess
with me" and then jails an at
torney for contempt of court
that's proper judicial conduct in
Texas the Supreme court ruled
Monday.
Four of the nine justices dis
scented, however branding the
judges use of language as Gin
temperate" and designed to "pick
quarrel with the lawyer.
The 5 to a decision climaxed a
case which had many novel fea-
lures, including a Supreme court
hearing in which the attorney for
the sentenced lawyer presented
both sides because his opponent
hadn't shown up. He performed
such an impartial job that he
lost his own case.
WORKMAN'S FOOT INJURED
1t all started in the Jasper
county District court of Texas,
Judge F. P. Adams presiding
The argument before a jury was
the amount Of damages which
Anderson Godfrey, a Negro work
man, should receive for injuries
to his left foot.
One of the several unusual fea
lures noted in the record was
the appearance of the judges SOL
for the workman's employer, who
was insisting that no damages be
paid.

Three Now Listed
AS Top Candidates
For 6. 0. P. Chairman
by the Associated Press


Three potential candidates ap-
peared today to be forging to the
front in the race for the Repub-
lican national Craftsmanship to be
vacated August by Representa-
tive Hugh D. Scott of Pennsyl-
vania.
The three are Guy George
Gabrielson, New Jersey commit
teeman: Arthur Summerfield
Michigan member. and A. T..
Bert" Howard, Nebraska State
chairman.
Former Senator John A. Dana
her Of Connecticut quit the race
yesterday after Senator Taft, Re-
publican. of Ohio announced that
he wasn't supporting Mr.. Danaher
any more than any Of several
other candidates.
Mr.. Danaher, who had been
credited with having the backing
of Gov. Dewey of New York, said
he couldn't desert his law practice.
Howard Supported Dewey.
Some members said Mr.. Dana
hers withdrawal reflected anti
Dewey sentiment within the COM
mittee. They added that this was
so widespread that it was dafnag-
ing the chances of Mr.. Howard
because he was a preconvention
supporter of the New York Gov
ernor last year.
Mr.. Howard is being doomed as
a nonfaction candidate. however,
as is Mr.. Summerf1eld. The latter,
who heads the party's Strategy
Committee. supported Mr.. Scott
when the present chairman beat
off an custer attempt in Omaha
last January.
But Mr.. Summerfield also is
friendly with committee members
who fought Mr.. Scott at that time
and is active in COP fund raising,
where the going has been tough
this year.
Gabrielson Reported Strong.
Supported by the anti-Scott
forces. Mr.. Gabrielson was credited
by some of his friends with having
80 or more of the committees los
votes. They said this was con-
siderably more than any other
candidate could show.
The Scott forces are against Mr..
Gabrielson because he Is in the
same camp with Carroll Reece of
Tennessee and Harrison Sprangler
Of Iowa, both former chairmen
who led an unsuccessful move to
oust Mr.. Scott.
Senator Martin, Republican. of
Pennsylvania said he and other
friends of the present chairman
haven't lined up behind any par
ticular candidate. He added, how
ever. that he doubts q move to
reject Mr.. Scott's resignation and
keep him in Office will have much
strength.
