D. {. Parole Board Unable
To Act on Marzani Plea

The District Parole Board is not
authorized to apply for a reduc-
ton in the jail sentence OF Carl
Aldo Marzani, former State De-
partment employe convicted OF
making false statements about
Communist Party connections,
Corporation Counsel Vernon West
ruled today.
This is because Marzani has
been transferred from District Jail
to the Federal correctional 1nstl-
tuition at Danbury, Conn.
Marzani, who began serving a
one-to-three-year sentence last
March, asked the local parole
board in June to apply to District
Court for q reduction In his min
imum sentence.
The board asked report from
the Department of Correction on
the prisoner, but before one was
received, Marzani was transferred.
Mr.. West informed the Commis-
sioners that in his opinion the
local board had lost jurisdiction
and the Federal Board OF Parole
was now the proper authority to
seek the reduction if it was con-
sidered advisable.

1t. Aubrey Tolson. head of the

today related this story:
johnson, 81, colored, 400 BLOCK
Of r street NV. was arrested
early today while pounding furi-
ously with hammer on a safe
in a filing station at New jersey
and Rhode Island avenues NV
He was making so much noise
it sounded like the anvil chorus
to three vice squad men cruising
near the filling station in thei1
scout car about 4 am.
In fact. he was making so much
noise that the vice squad men
were able to pull into the station

call reinforcements to surround
the station before the man inside
knew what was going on.
The attempt to open the SAFE

D. {. Relief Requests
Climb 10 925, Set
Post-Depression High

More people are asking for re-
lief now than at any time since
the depression.
During August. 925 persons
sought the aid of the Board OF
Public Welfare, which was rec
ord for recent years. Last month
the number Of applicants dropped
again. with only 739 applicants,
according to Raymond F. Clapp,
principal assistant director of the
Welfare Department. but an in
crease is expected with the coming
of cold weather. Last year the
number of persons seeking relief
averaged about 500 a month.
Altogether 1859 persons were
on relief here in August. an in
crease of 129 persons over July.
There has been a gradual increase
every year for the last several
years, Mr.. Clapp pointed out.
Worse in Other Cities.
Nevertheless, Washington is not
as badly off as many other States
The average number of persons
on relief here is only 1.8 per 1000
while the average for the entire
country is 7.6.
The District paid 1881 ,844 in
relief to Washington residents ir
August. OF this total. $111,27:
went for old-age assistance; $143
398, for aid to dependent chill.
dren: s11 ,055, for aid to the blind

for one-person cases.
More Workers Asked.
The old-age assistance case.
received an average of $42.11
each during August, families re.
ceived an average of $80.38, o.
$19.88 per person; blind persons
averaged $44.94. and the one
person cases, $45.23.
In the expectation of receiving
more applications for relief dur
ing the next fiscal year, the Wei
fare Department has submitted a
budget to the Commissioners ask
ing for 38 mora social workers in
the Public Assistance Division. It
now takes about five weeks after
a person applies for relief before
he is asked to come in for an

Z More Motions Filed
To Suppress Evidence
In Gambling Raids

Motions for suppression of evil
dence and return of seized property
in two more of the gambling cases
resulting from the United States
Attorneys widespread raids of
March Is were argued today be-
fore Judge Edward A. Tamm in
District Court.
The cases were those of the
Barber newsstand at 427 Tenth
street NV, and the Statewide
News Service on Bladensburg road
Just beyond the District line.
Similar motions have been ar
gued in other cases resulting from
the raids. Some have been won
by the defendants, others by the
Government.
In both of today's cases, the
argument of defense attorneys was
that too much time elapsed be-
tween observation of alleged law
violations and the issuance OF
search warrants.
Death Certificate Offered.
Attorney William H. Collins ap-
peared for the men arrested at
Statewide News Service. They
are Murray H. OFF, William S.
Doyle, Sidney Frisher, William
Cohen, and Lee Thomas Lewis.
Attorney Edward B. Williams
appeared for the men arrested at
the raid at the news stand. They
are John Quinn. William Quinn.
and Thomas White.
Assistant United States Attor-
ney John Conliff. jr., introduced
a death certificate for Garner S.
Barber, proprietor OF the news
stand, who died of a heart allment
some weeks after the arrest. The
prosecutor made motion to dis
miss the indictment. which was
accepted.
Clerk Filed Affidavits.
The facts stated in the argyll
ments of opposing counsel were
that the raids on both establish
ments were based on aftdavits
sworn out by Wilfred Barrett. a
youthful clerk in the United States
Attorneys Office. who succeeded
in making bets on horses IN sew
eral of the places raided.
Mr.. Barrett made afldavits on
March "a that on January 6 he
had placed bets on horses in the
Barber news stand and had over
heard horse bets being relayed to
a telephone number at the State
wide News Service. The raids took
place 76 days later.
The defense attorneys argued
that no search warrant more than
81 days old had ever been upheld
in the Federal courts. William
Arnold, an assistant United States
attorney assisting Mr.. Conliff,
argued that it was the practice IN
the Federal jurisdiction that the
court should decide on the facts
of each case and that the time
had elapsed because the evidence
taken was all building up to the
"D-day" of the raids.
