ing argument for the defense, told
the jury:
Let us start with the premise
that this was a gambling estab-
lishment. You may 60 step fur
ther and say that any man found
there is a gambler, but that does
not mean that he is guilty as
charged in this indictment of a
conspiracy in the District of
Columbia"
Linking of Slips Attacked.
In addition to attacking the
indictment, the defense attorneys
repeatedly pointed out that only
three of several thousand num-
bers slips had been linked by the
evidence to their original source.
On that score, Mr.. Hitz said the
raiders were so busy watching
the prisoners and protecting the
evidence they had no time to
identify the numbers slips and
money taken from the individual
runners.
In contrast with the long pa
rade of prosecution witnesses
some of whom were hostile and
uncommunicative - the defense
produced only one witness. He
was Deputy Marshal Donald H.
Foster, who denied he had heard
one of the defendants admit that
he took numbers bets as Mr..
Fihelly had told the jury earlier.
Mr.. Foster said he was hand
cuffed to the prisoner. Kennedy.

Representation Urged
For Minorities on
ID. {. Housing Board

Suggestions for the inclusion
of citizen and minority group rep
resentatives on the National Capt.
tai Housing Authority board were
contained in a statement issued
last night by a group of colored
organizations.
The statement commended cer-
tain activities of the authority
but said that under present poll.
cies, we believe that the authority
fails to take a forward step in the
liberal direction
1.-THE failure to move forward
results in the kind of administra-
ton which is now undemocratic,
and whose action is apparently
unconstitutional" the statement
addcd. This situation is further
aggravated BY the authority being
composed of ex-officio Presidential
designates who actually do not
represent the citizenry as a whole
or part, as in case of most other
citizens.
Lay Representation Sought.
"We wish to emphasize the
point that we are interested not
only in. the representation of
minority groups, but even more,
representation of lay citizens on
the housing authority
In respect to segregation in
Federal housing. the signatories
said that except in areas where
the density of Negro or other pop
ulation makes the voluntary oc-
cupancy by one group or the other
desirable, I'VE believe that all
eligible tenants should have the
right to occupancy in any public
housing project anywhere in the
city regardless of it's location"
''The National Capital Housing
Authority is a Federal organiza-
ton and has no right to deny to
any one the right of occupancy
in particular project merely be-
cause of race" the statement
added
See Situation Aggravated.
The groups said an unrealistic
housing program, with emphasis
on slum clearance without ade-
quate requirements for evicted
families, had actually aggravated
rather than remedied the situa-
tion.
Asking for adherence to the
Presidents Civil Rights Program,
decisions of the Supreme Court
and the Constitution, the state
ment said the NCHA itself should

fidavits formed the basis of search
warrants in several of the raids.
During the trial. the jury was
told in detail about the raid on
the bungalow at 1910 Forty-sixth
street, Bladensburg. Deputy mar
shals described how they broke a
door pane to enter the house and
then demanded admittance to a
barred and air-conditioned room.
They said the room was equipped
with a ticker supplying horse race
results, 13 electric adding ma
chimes and two main telephone
lines with extra extensions and
head sets. They told of finding
more than $4,000 in cash, thou
sands of numbers slips and two
unloaded pistols.
Five of the IA arrested at the
bungalow came in while the raid
was in progress, the jury was told.
These five, it was testified, carried
paper bags Of numbers slips and
money.
Bets Declared Made in District.
Mr.. Hitz argued that the five
had just received bets in the Dis
trict and transported them across
the line into Maryland. He pointed
to that in contending that most
of the business was conducted in
the District.
Countering that argument, Mr..
Collins declared that "only the
widest possible conjecture and
suspicion has been produced to
support the Governments charge

ant United States Attorneys Will
liam Hitz and Edward L. Carey.
The trial of Lewis and his 13
co-defendants was the first grow
ing out of Mr.. Fay's anti-gambling
crusade.
It was considered the key case,
not only because of the number Of
defendants involved, but also be-
cause Lewis was described by Mr..
Fay as the one ''big shot gambler"
caught in the series of eight raids
ordered by Mr.. Fay last March Is.
The raids produced 36 indict-
ments by the special grand jury
which adjourned earlier this
month with sealed report after
18 months deliberations.
Although the indictments were
returned in April, the trial did
not start until November 2 be-
cause of a long series of legal
maneuvers attacking the indict-
ment.
Turning point in the legal battle
before the trial came in June
when Judge Edward M. Curran
rejected the defense contention
that deputy nsarshals from the
District had no power to serve
search warrant in Maryland.
Marshals Answered Phones.
The battery of defense attor-
Ineys, however, continued to argue
the question of Jurisdiction after
the trial started. Defense attor-
neys, a. bench conference after
the jury was selected, made a last
effort to get the case thrown out
on the contention the men could
not be legally tried under District
statutes for arrests and alleged
offenses in Maryland. Judge Nc
Guire ruled that question had
already been decided by other
District Court judges and he or
dered the trial to proceed.
Throughout the trial the Gov
ernment contended the alleged
gambling syndicate did almost all
its business in the District.
Deputy marshals who partic-
ipated in the raid where the IA
were arrested testified they an
swered' telephones in the bunga-
low during the raid.
- When the callers were asked to
leave their numbers. the deputies
testified, a number of them gave
District telephone exchanges.
The prosecution also called a
woman witness who recalled tele-
phoning to place a bet. She could
not recall the number she called
but she did remember leaving her
first name and a District telephone
number. She was followed by a
deputy marshal who said he
"took" a bet from a woman who
gave the first name and telephone
number listed by the woman wit
ness.
Another witness, waiter in a
Washington restaurant, testified
he wrote in Washington three Of
the members slips that turned up
in the Maryland raid.

"Very good" he muttered.
