Court Rules in Favor
OF Edwards, Rejects
His Oral Statements
By the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, June 15.-Oral
statements made by Thomas A.
Edwards were ruled out today at
his second trial for the murder of
John Mahlan and Mary Kline on
September II, 1948.
Chief Judge w. Conwell Smith
Of the Baltimore Supreme bench,
speaking for himself and Asso-
ciate Judge Charles E. Moylan,
said they would have to be bound
by a finding of the Court of Ap-
peals last February that Edwards
had been improperly induced to
make the statements. .. s.,
They sustained an objection
which had been entered by Will
liam j. McWilliams, former An
napolis judge who has represented
Edwards as court-appointed
attorney.
Exhortati0n Held Improper. %
Judge Smith said the Court of
Appeals found that an exhortation
by Capt. Henry j. Kriss, Baltimore
chief of detectives, that Edwards
tell the truth, coupled with a let
ter shown Edwards which said it
was always wise to shoot square
with the police, constituted the
improper inducement.
The oral statements which the
State sought to introduce at this
trial, the judge said, came after
the exhortation.
State Trooper John j. Harbaugh
was recalled to the stand today
and repeated the story of his 2
am. evidence hunt at the Ches-

terfield road clearing where the
bodies were found.
The State called Annapolis
Police Chief George Rawlings and
his wife. They denied Trooper
Harbaugh's assertions that he OBJ
tanned a window screen and card
board cartons from them for his
search. The trooper boarded at
the Rawlings home at the time.
Notes Are Identified.
A Baltimore Police Department
stenographer then identified a set
of notes which Capt. Kriss said
he made on Edwards statements
before he showed him the letter
which proved fatal to the earlier
prosecution.
OF the State efforts to get these
oral statements into evidence, De-
fense Attorney McWilliams de-
clared the .State is now. trying
to accomplish indirectly what the
Court Of Appeals said could not

Mcmillan 10 Seek Vote
On DC. Rent Control
By House Next Week
By DON s. Worren

Chairman Mcmillan of the
House District Committee now
plans to seek House approval of
continuation of Washington rent
controls next week.
Plans for extension, generally in
line with the Federal bill as passed
by the House. were approved yes
terday by the District Committee
Mr.. Mcmillan at first wanted to
seek House approval today, since
the present law will expire on
June 80. but the House today was
to take up no business. except by
unanimous consent.
To Try Early Next Week.
Mr.. Mcmillan will try to call up
the bill early next week. Should
that fail. he could wait until June
26. the next regular District day
in the House.
In general keeping with the
pattern Of the Federal bill passed
by the House, the District Com
mittee's bill would extend WASH
ington rent controls to next Janu-
ary 81 and would leave a further
five-month extension upto Con-
greSS.
Earlier plans would have left
extension Of controls beyond the
en- dof this year to the direction
Of the District Commissioners.
Reported, IL to 6.
Although IA of the 25 members
OF the House District Committee
registered their opposition to con-
tinue Federal rent control, the
District measure was reported out
yesterday without much ado. The
vote in the closed session was said
to be II to 6.
Some members explained that,
while they still opposed continued
controls, they could not, lin fair
ness" vote against House consid-
Grafton of tht District measure,
after the House already had voted
for extension Of the Federal con-
trolls.
Senator Nicely. Democrat, Of
West Virginia. head Of the Sen
ate District Committee. may call
up the subject at a meeting Of
the Senate group next Tuesday.
He has hoped he could wait long
enough to allow the House to act
first, since it has held formal
hearings on the issue.

Hutchinson S Chances
For Confirmation 10
FTC Believed Dim

The chances of Martin A. Hut
Crimson, Richmond attorney. to
win Senate confirmation for q
place on the Federal Trade Com
mission, appeared dim today,
after Virginia's two Democratic
Senators-Byrd and Robertson
came out against the appointment
yesterday.
They joined in a letter to the
Senate Commerce Committee.
charging that Mr.. Hutchinson
lacks judicial temperament, has
had virtually no experience in the
problems of the commission and
that his appointment was made
"for a definite and obvious politi-
cal purpose"
Mr.. Hutchinson ran against
Senator Byrd for the Democratic
senatorial nomination In Virginia
in 1916.
Neither Senator appeared in
person at a hearing on the nom
ination yesterday. Mr.. Hutchin-
son. however. was on hand and
answered the committeemen's
questions before the rd-Robert-
son letter was read.
Considers Self Qualified.
The nominee said he considers
himself qualified to handle the
job, believes in the free enterprise
system. and would act as an arm
of Congress in carrying out his
duties.
Mr.. Hutchinson said he hadn't
campaigned for the post or dis
cussed it with President Truman
or William M. Boyle, jr., the ma
tional Democratic chairman.
Some of my friends-and 4
don't know th1s-may have taken
the matter up with the President"
he said. However, I think I am
correct in saying that the Presi-
dent was considering the appoint
ment of a Southerner to the Fed
eral Trade Commission"
Senator Byrd's associates. how
ever, were convinced that the
President had something more
than magnolias on his mind when
he picked Hutchinson, who op-
posed the Senator in the 1916
primary. Senator Byrd and Mr..
Truman have been light-years
apart on Federal fiscal policy, civil
rights and a dozen other issues,
and it wasn't many months ago
that the President told a White
House visitor that there are too
many Byrds in Congress. Senator
Byrd is the only member with
that name.
Seen as Anti Byrd Move.
AS for the obvious political
purpose" the Virginia Senators
charged lay behind the nomina-
tion. it appeared to be a good
guess that they considered the
appointment an attempt to crack
the tight political organization
Byrd has built. up in his State
as Governor and later Senator.
Senators Byrd and Robertson
said they had not been consulted
about the appointment.
By unwritten Senate tradition.
a Senator can block the appoint
ments Of some one from his State
to a Federal position if he declares
him personally obnoxious. SEN
ator Byrd has given no indication
so far that he plans to resort to
such a step. However, he can
count on strong support from his
Southern colleagues and from
some Republicans if the nomina-
ton clears the Commerce Com
mittee. There has been some
talk that the committee might
reject it.
Senator Taft, Republican, of
Ohio said he thinks many Repub-
lican Senators will oppose con-
firmation on the ground that Mr..
Hutchinson is not qualified for
the pociti0n

WASHINGTON (AP) Senator Lucas (D-Ill), the senate majority leader, said this week there is no prospect of final action on Hawai- ian and Alaskan statehood before congress quits this weekend.
 Lucas told reporters, after a meeting of the senate democratic policy committee, that an effort will be made, however, to make the Alaska statehood bill the ''unfin- ished business" of the senate if congress recesses until November 27 as planned.
 Even if that fails, he said, the Alaska bill will be the first order of business at the proposed Novem- Der session.
 The statehood bills will not be considered this week until after conference reports, the nomination of George Marshall to be secretary of defense and two other measures have been disposed of, he said.
 Senator 0'Mahoney (D-Wyo.) ], chairman of the senate interior committee, told the senate this week he would make motion that it take up the bills before Satur- day If the eenate democratic lead CT does not call them up.
 The house has passed both bills.

Statehood Bill Postponed Until November

compelling the reasons for Alaska and Hawaii statehood set forth by him in a letter to O'Mahoney last April.
 Security Threatened
 Senator Morse (R-Ore.), an AL aska statehood packer, told the senate:
 "our lack of adequate defenses in Alaska and the consequent threat to security would never have come to pass" if Alaska was full-fledged state, represented in both the senate and house.
 And, in another development Del- egate Bartlett of Alaska said sever al telephone calls opposing Alaska statehood were made this week from Seattle by persons identified as being connected with fishing in- terests.
 He said he had been told the calls were made to senators asking them to vote against the statehood bill.
 Bartlett told reporters that the phone calls 'seem to be last des- perate effort to block statehood for the Territory I think that it will help the cause of statehood because it again brings out that the salmon industry Is doing everything in it's power to block statehood"

 Magnuson suggested that eff we decide to recess it might be a very proper thing to make the Hawai- ian and Alaskan statehood bills the unfinished business and then when we return at the end of the recess, pass the bills"
 O'Mahoney also told the senate of letters he had received from As- sistant Secretary of State Jack K, McFall and retiring Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson.
 In response to O'Mahoney's re- quest, McFall wrote the senator:
 ''The department believes that the Korean situation has increased the urgency for favorable action on these bills"
