Prosecutor Charges Mrs. Hiss
Typed Transmitted Documents

tanned the prosecutors nasty OBJ
lection to this procedure, Mr.. Cross
calmly said: Alright, I can say it
myself"
And he did.
Mr.. Cross opening statement
seemed to contain a hint that it
may take a new line Of defense in
this trial. He was emphatic in
urging the jury to disregard any
references to what had been said
at the first trial.
II am going to speak frankly
to you," Mr.. Cross said. wit
nesses will be asked here. didn't
you testify so-an-so in the first
trial. in an attempt to show in
consistencies."
Mr.. Cross said the jurors should
pay attention only to the evi-
dence given them from the wit
ness stand in this particular trial.
Lawyer Speaks Quietly.
The portly, grey-haired little
lawyer folded his hands in front
on him while he spoke, his quiet
manner sharply contrasting with
the fiery dramatics of Lloyd Paul
Stryker, who defended MIR. Hiss
last spring. He said there are
only two important witnesses in
the case. Mr.. Hiss and Mr.. Cham
berS.
You'll never be able to recon-
cile the statements made by these
two men, and at the end of the
case your problem will be to de-
eide who Is lying" he said.
Then Mr.. Cross contrasted the
Hiss and Chambers careers. He
traced his clients life from the
Sunday School and Boy Scout
days in Baltimore through to the
United Nations and Carnegie En-
dowment days in San Francisco
and Washington.
In describing Mr.. Chambers
career as a Communist agent, he
dwelt less on unsavory personal
details than Mr.. Stryker had,
stressing instead that the habit
of lying is part of the Communist
creed.
Brings in New Incident.
He dug up one new alleged in
cident of the Chambers past, de-
claring that in 1886. while stay
ing In Mr.. Hiss apartment, Mr..
Chambers made a false passport
application under the name Of
David Green, using the birth GER
tificate of a dead child, and pre-
senting a picture in which his
face was disguised by "a bushy
mustache."
Mr.. Chambers wanted to leave
the country aboard the German
liner Stutgartt. Mr.. Cross said.

they were barely audible to spec

He charged Mr.. Hiss lied, lied

MED giving secret papers to Mr..
Chambers,
"We are going to prove (the
lies) by the highest type Of proof
by the immutable documents
themselves" he declared:-
1--WE are going to show you not
one or two dozen, but we are
going to show you At typewriter
documents. We are going to
show you four handwritten docu-
Ments.
THAT proof will be most over
whelming."
| The prosecutor turned and
pointed dramatically to the wit
ness chair.
"You will listen to the evidence
as it comes from that chair and
from nowhere else," he declared.
Prepares for Chambers T'timony.
He devoted his major effort to
preparing the jury for the testi-
mony of Mr.. Chambers, the Gov
ernment's key witness, who he
said had been IAN active, paid
Communist functionary" but had
completely reformed.
Describing in detail the alleged
relationship of Mr.. His and Mr..
Chambers, the prosecutor said
their original arrangement had
called for MI. Hiss turning over
the secret documents themselves
for micro filming every two weeks.
This process, he said, had
proved too cumbersome, anu it
was for this reason that 1t was
decided Mrs. Hiss should copy
the documents each night on a
typewriter in the Hiss home.
Mr.. Murphy conspicuously
avoided the phrase which made
headlines In his opening state
ment at the first trial and which
became the war-cry Of the de-
fense that time: IF you don't be-
lieve Chambers, the Government
hasn't got a case"
But Mr.. Hiss new lawyer. Claude
B. Cross, who opened for the de-
fense Immediately after Mr.,

phrase and pounded it home.

NEW xoItkAs NON. ~ 1 llC1 Goa
Serber Malkiel, pioneer feminist
and authority on adult education
and naturalization, died at Lenox
Hill Hospital last night at the
age of rs.
For the last 20 years, she had
devoted herself entirely to the
education and naturalization of
foreign-born women, although her
earlier career was as a writer,
publicist and politician. Founder
of the Brooklyn Adult Students
Association, she directed the work
of its classes and summer camp
until a few weeks ago.
| Mrs. Malkiel, widow of Leon
Andrew Malkiel, well-known New
York lawyer, leaves one daughter,
Mrs. Nelson Poynter. co-editor
and publisher of Congressional
Quarterly. Washington. D. c.. and
wife Of the publisher of the st.
Petersburg (Fla.) Times. Three
sisters. Mrs. Alice Petluck, Mrs.
Rebecca Fox and Mrs. Elizabeth
Freid, also survive.
Started at Writer.
Beginning her career as a writer
and translator for the old Every
body's and McClure's, Mrs. NAL
kiel early plunged into civic serv-
ice and the feminist movement.
After the Triangle fire in 1911.
she wrote "a book. DIARY Of a
Shirtwaist Maker" which was
credited with helping to reform
the New York State laws on wom-
en- in industry.
She made several cross-country
tours. speaking for woman's suf-
frage and worked with the
Women's Trade Union League
and the old Socialist Party, be-
fore World War I, for the better
ment of working and living con-
ditions. With her husband she
was one Of the founders of the
old New York Daily Call and in
1920 ran for the State Assembly
She lost by small margin. After
an investigation, hundreds of mu-
tilated ballots were found in a
sewer.
After the Russian revolution and
the split in the liberal movement,
she dropped all political activi-
ties and devoted herself entirely
to the education and naturaliza-
ton Of foreign-born women. She
organized and supervised classes
where thousands of mothers of
American citizens learned to read
and write English and get their
citizenship papers.
Kept Classes Going.
When the New York State
budget for adult education was
cut, she organized the Adult Stu
dents Association and through the
payment Of small dues, was able
to keep the classes running and
the teachers paid until the ap-
preparation was restored.
Seventeen years ago she organ
lied a summer camp for the
women which she ran until Labor
Day this year where each woman
could come. relax and be waited
on for two weeks at $40 a week.
The organization now owns and
Operates a large summer hotel at
Long Branch, N. j., called the
Casa.
From her hospital bed, worried
by the blood bank shortages for
ward patients, she started new
idea this week which she hoped
will be continued. Her proposal
was that friends and relatives
should continue to replace blood,
but that everyone who could
afford it should also pay for the
blood as a donation to charity
patients. Many graduates of the
adult student classes already have
said they would cooperate In this
as q continuing program in her
memory. .sr
