By the Assoeiofed Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-Counsel
for the Russian Engineer Valentin
A., Gubitchev said today that
Secretary of State Dean Acheson
was incompetent to certify what
official position Mr.. Gubitchev oc-
cupies within the Soviet govern
ment,"
The attorney. Abraham l.
Pomerantz. made his contention
at a pre- trial hearing before Fed
eral Judge Sylvester Ryan on
whether Gubitchev and Judith
Coplon, former Government girl,
should face trial on charges OF
conspiracy to transmit United
States Government secrets to the
Soviets.
Earlier, Judge Ryan denied per-
mission to defense counsel to call
Secretary Acheson to the witness
stand.
Counsel for the Russian and
Miss Coplon, former Department
of Justice employe. seek to quash
the indictment on grounds that
Gubitchev had diplomatic immu-
nifty and that the Government
case stems from illegal wire-tap-
ping.
Diplomatic Passport Cited.
Mr.. Pomerantz argued Gubit-
chev was U. S. S. r. diplomatic
officer and "this fact, plus the de-
fendant's diplomatic passport and
visa, constitute the basis Of his
diplomatic immunity"
The Russians counsel said he
did not claim this immunity "by

reason of his official position with
the United Nations" The 81
year-old Gubitchev was suspended
from his position as U. N. en-
gineer after his arrest last
March 4.
Mr.. Pomerantz said letter
from Secretary Acheson to Attor-
ney General McGrath last De-
cember 80 failed to give the
answer" to the question of GU
bitchev's immunity status.
Secretary Achesop said tie
Russian came here as a member
OF the Soviet U. N. delegation but
ceased to be a member when he
Joined the secretariat staff.
But, Mr.. Pomerantz contended.
the fact was "Gublitchev was and
continues to be third secretary of
the Soviet Ministry of Foreign
Affairs" and that this position
was in no wise affected by his
U. N. employment.

strengthen its position in the Ma
tion's greatest city. Accordingly,
it made an offer for the name and
good will of the Sun, which has
been accepted with great regret.
The sale was completed last night.
Thus it becomes our sad duty
to announce the end of the great
journalistic venture which began
with the first issue Of the Sun on
September 3, 1888"
The Sun had a daily circulation
of around 100000 copies and has
been published at its plant at $50
Broadway. at the corner of Cham
bers street.
The World Telegram resulted
from the merger of the old New
York World and the Telegram in
1881. Its circulation is approx
mately 385,000.
The Sun was founded in 1888
by q Yankee job printer named
BENJAMIN H. Day. Five years later
it passed to Moses Yale Beach,
who ran it for 80 years.
The Sun Printing and Publish
ing Association became the own
ers IN 1868. with the famed and
aggressive Charles A. Dana as
editor. Many years later it was
purchased by Frank A. Munsey.
At his death in 1925 William T.
Dewart became president. Mr..
Dewart purchased the Sun and
other Munsey interests for $13.-
000, 900 in 1926. Thomas Dewart,
who made today's announcement
for the Sun, Is his son.
The World originally, was
founded in June, 1860, as a re-
ligious journal. After varied for
tunes 1t was purchased in 1883
by Joseph Pulitzer.

John Maragon' S Trial
May Lead 10 Revival
Of 5-Percenter Probe

Trial of John Maragon on per-
jury charges might lead to re-
opening of the "fve-percenter'
investigation at the Capitol, Sen
ate subcommittee officials said
today.
Maragon, 54-year-old Greek
born former White House habitue,
Is to be arraigned Friday in Dis
trict Court on a four-count in
dictment returned yesterday by
q grand jury. He posted $4,000
bond and went through the
finger printing routine.
A one-time friend of Maj. Gen.
Harry H. Vaughan, President
Truman's military aide, Maragon
is accused of having lied to the
Senate Investigations Subcommit-
tee at closed session last July %.
Hearings Recessed in Fall.
The subcommittee recessed hear
ingS last September. 1t indicated
additional witnesses or loose ends
might justify later inquiry. An Of
ficial said today the trial of Mar
agon might provide testimony or
leads that would warrant further
subcommittee digging into the
"fve-percenter" situation.
The subcommittee said it will
issue probably next week, an
interim report on the "five-per-
center" investigation thus far. It
did not indicate whether the re-
port would contain any legislative
recommendations. A subcommit-
tee spokesman emphasized, how
ever, that the forthcoming sum-
mary and statement will not be
the last words on the subject.
The investigation last summer
dealt with paying or taking fees
for help in getting Government
contracts. Such fees, often fixed
at S per cent, are not illegal, but
the subcommittee wanted to de-
termine whether improper in
fluence figured in the handling of
Government business.
Spring Trial Probable.
The perjury trial of Maragon
probably will not start until spring
If he pleads not guilty at the Fri
day arraignment, court attaches
said.
The indictment charges he false
ly told the Senate subcommittee:
That. his only bank account in
1945 and 1916 was In the Union
Trust Co. here.
That he did not negotiate any
Government business or receive
any money for doing such busi-
ness from 1945 to July, 1s49.
That he was not employed by
any one else when he worked for
the State Department on a mis-
sion to Greece in 1856.
That he borrowed $1,000 from
his mother-in-law last July.

Mr.. Howard said the contracts
were signed last night. He stated
there would be no change In the
editorial policy of 'the World
Telegram and the Sum-" which will
continue independent in all politi-
cal matters.
Mr.. Dewart's statement on the
sale Of the Sun said in part:
With profound regret we an
nounce to our readers and staff
that with today's editions the
New York Sun will cease to exist
as a separate journalistic force.
Its name and good will have been

the same loyal support which they
and their predecessors for genera
tions have given to us. It is the
hope and desire of everybody con-
cerned that this association will
give to Americas largest city the
best and strongest afternoon
newspaper in the United States.
Cites Mounting Costs.
Mounting costs Of production,
unaccompanied by commensurate
increases in advertising revenues,
have made some such course in
evitable. Chief among the rising
costs have. been those of labor
and newsprint. Our working
force is almost wholly organized
and our relations with the workers
have always been friendly and
cordial.
"But the simple truth is that
union demands have become too
great for us to meet in the face
of serious losses in income. In
this time of rising costs we are
compelled to protect the interest
of our bondholders, most Of whom
are our employees. The fact is,
and we say it without bitterness
or recrimination. that the de-
imands of the unions have
wrought here in New York-what
they are working, elsewhere
throughout the Nation-an un-
!precedented and increasing num-
;ber of casualties among news
papers which once were great and
strong.
Forced Higher Wages.
Despite continued warnings of
the economic consequences, vari-
Gus unions have forced and are
continuing to force higher wages,
until, in the newspaper business
as a whole, these have risen be-
yong reason. In the 10-year period
from 1889 to and including 1949,
the average advance in individual
pay of the Suns employees was
S0.4 per cent. In the same period.
the price of newsprint rose from
$48 ton to 500 ton. Price of
all other supplies increased in
corresponding ratios.
Recently advertising revenues
of the Sun and the World -Tele-
gram have not kept pace with
mounting production costs. Both
papers have long appealed to a
literate and intelligent public. Be-
tween them they have divided ap-
proximately 650,000 circulation
enough to assure the economic
stability of one newspaper, but not
enough for two in this metropoli-
tan area.
