made a point of having Mr..
Nolan's testimony read, explain
ing that "any lawyer in the room
will know why"
Story Called Ridiculous"
Mr.. Nolan testified that in 1945
he drove 1t. Shimon to an apart
ment in the vicinity of $500 @
street NV, where 1t. Shimon told
him he was tapping Senator
Bailey's telephone to learn some
thing about airplanes." On one
occasion, according to the Nolan
testimony, Mr.. Nolan took "a
young lady" to the apartment to
keep 1t. Shimon company.
1t. Shimon denied he told Mr..
Nolan he was tapping Senator
Bailey's wire, denied the wire was
tapped and said the story about a
young lady was ridiculous
1t. Shimon also differed at sew
eral points with the testimony of
Detective Sergt. George H. Robi-
son, jr., who was on hand to re-
peat what he told the committee
in open and executive testimony
1t. Shimon said that in 1916 he
took Sergt. Robson with him to
2510 @ street NV. in the course
of tapping phones to locate 9
fugitive for the Miami chief Of
detectives.
Sergt. Robson fixed the time a.
May, 1947. 1t. Shimon said hi
thought he told Sergt. Robson hi
was trying to get a lead on 6
fugitive, but the sergeant said 1t
Shimon told him he had beer

Robson Repeats Story.
Sergt. Robson dated the Occi
dental wire tap as May or June
1947. 1t Shimon said it coulC
not have been four to, six week
after the @ street tap, in 1916.
Sergt. Robson repeated hi
story of being told to listen tt
telephone conversations to MI
Fulton from investigating commit
tees. 1t. Shimon denied it.
1t. Shimon explained his vari
Gus methods of tapping tele
phones. Periodically, he brok

into wide grin and appeared to
grow angry only during the COM
mittee's grilling on the Nolan
story.
He told of at least four cases
in which he assisted in wire-tap-
ping while still in the detective
bureau. These included taps on
a safe gang, in narcotics case,
in quest of a holdup man and in
the investigation of a suspected
abortion ring.
He said he was assigned by the
then chief of detectives, Inspector
B. w. Thompson. At one point
he said his superiors directed in
vestigations and implied they did
not inquire into what was done
during the investigation. q.
Tells Of Kelly Praise.
1t. Shimon also testified that
the late Col. Edward j. Kelly
superintendent of police, congrat-
ulated him for breaking the Kent
jewelry case, during which he used
wire tapping, but later COM
planned that he did not want
police tapping the telephones OF
gamblers or prostitutes.
1t. Shimon has said he was
shadowing Abner (Chick) Lap
pin when the Hughes investiga-
ton was under way. He said Lap
pin was shadowing Senator
Brewster. He was supported by
Senator Brewster, who acknowl-
edged paying 1t. Shimon 500 or
$125 for expenses.
Lappin vehemently denied any
such role last night. Committee
Counsel Gerhard van Arkel said.

was issued while he was in Mex

night and was given permission
to go to New York today on con-

mittee tomorrow.
Attorney Sought.
Mr.. van Arkel said Lappin told
him his only connection with the
case was that Noah Dietrich. vice
president of the Hughes Tool Co.,
and Thomas Slack, an attorney
asked him to help them find for
Mr.. Hughes an attorney with
legislative experience.
Lappin, according to Mr.. van
Arkel, said he recommended At
torney Charles Clark, but Mr.
Clark's fee was considered toe
high and he was not retained.
Mr.. Van Arkel said Lappin in
sisted he was never paid by Mr..
Hughes, Mr.. Dietrich or Mr.. Slack,
that he never shadowed Senator
Brewster or any one else and that
the whole story was fiction"
Lappin also remarked that If
Mr.. Hughes wanted Senator
Brewster shadowed, he had the
money to hire the services of any

prior to evacuation. The others
were ordered to Saigon from the

Marine Corps Lifts
Enlistment Rules;
Takes Married Men

The Marine Corps today threw
enlistment wide open to admit re-
cruits between II and %, whether
married or single.
Heretofore, enlistments in the
Marine Corps Reserve for active
duty have excluded married men.
The enlistme nts call for immedi-
ate active duty.
Elsewhere in the services, pres
ent policy excludes married men
from enlistment unless the en-
listee can qualify for certain min
imum pay grades.
Age Brackets IL to "a.
In the Navy, this minimum Is
the third pay grade, seaman, at
$95.55 per month. The Air Force
requires a qualifying rank of staff
sergeant or higher, while the
Army's minimum is the rank of
corporal, which is the present
equivalent of the former rank of
buck sergeant.
The age brackets of the Army
and Air Force are between II and
81. Beyond the age of "a an en-
listee must have previous active
Federal duty of three years and
up. depending on present age, be-
fore he can apply.
The Navy's age limits on new
enlistments are II and 80. Age is
no bar to Navy re-enlistments.
Vinson Wants Larger Corps.
Meanwhile. Chairman Vinson
OF the House Armed Services
Committee has set a new and
higher goal for Marine Corps
combat strength -. four fully
equipped war-size divisions and
26 air squadrons.
eve aim to get the money" for
that force, Mr.. Vinson told a re-
porter.
The new target is up by two
combat divisions and eight air
squadrons from an estimate ad-
vanced by MIR. Vinson on Au-
gust 6.
He predicted at that time that
Congress will be asked in January
for more money for defense, in
Guiding $500 million for Marines.
Gen. Harris Shifted.
That sum was expected to per-
NIT the corps to increase its
strength to 174,000 men and to
have two fully equipped divisions
and 18 air squadrons.
Meanwhile, the Marine Corps
announced last night that Maj.
Gen. Field Harris, who has been
commander of aircraft in the Pa
cific Fleet Marine Force and of
the First Marine Aircraft Wing at
Ell Toro, Calf, is leaving for an
mdisclosed assignment in the
Western Pacific.
Gen. Harris will be succeeded
by Maj. Gen. William j. Wallace,
who has been director of aviation
and assistant commandant for all
at headquarters here.
Brig. Gen. Clayton C. Jerome
will become the new director ot
aviation and assistant command
ant for air. He has been director
of public information, recruiting
and history for the corps.
Gen. Jerome's successor will be
Brig. Gen. John c. Mcqueen, for
mer director of the 18th Reserve
district at San Francisco.
The Marines now have two di-
visions, organiZationally. How
ever, both were considerably un-
der battle strength when the
Korean war started. The size of
Marine divisions f1uctuates be-
tween a peacetime strength some
times as low as 5000 to 10000
men and the huge units of World
War II days when more than 90
900 men were in combat divisions.
