Senators Studying if Agencies
Should Get Sex Arrest Reports

called the McCarran rider to the
State Department appropriation
bill.
This rider, written into law,
gave the State Department the
right to discharge an employe
without regard to the Civil Serv-
ice regulations.
Rider on Commerce Bill.
It was under this provision. ap-
parently. that the State Depart
ment has discharged 81 homosex-
uals, Senator Ferguson surmised
Testimony that this number had
been let out of the department
was made recently by Deputy
Undersecretary of State John E.
Peurifoy, before a public hearing
by the Senate Appropriations
Committee.
To help the Commerce Depart
ment to rid itself of any security
risks, the House Appropriations
Committee has inserted in the
new omnibus appropriation bill
now before the House, a rider
similar to the McCarran rider for
the State Department.
The committee put in such a
rider for the Commerce Depart
ment after a subcommittee had
heard testimony that some en-
ployes who had been cleared OF
disloyalty charges still were or
the payroll, considered security
risks, but could not be discharged
To Study Police Needs.
The Commerce Department was
severely criticized by House SUBJ
committee members as being
"honeycombed" with security
risks. The subject of homosex-
uals in the Commerce Department
was raised by subcommittee mem
bers. but much. of the testimony
on this matter was off the rec
ord.
The Senate subcommittee at its
session tomorrow is expected tc
pursue its study of whether more
policemen are needed to handle
the problem and whether new leg
islation will be necessary to make
reporting of morals cases to Fed
eral agencies compulsory.
The Appropriations Committee
handles money bills. and appar-
entity could not initiate new legis-
lation, but could make strong
recommendations. Individual
Senators also could introduce new
bills designed to help the situa-
tion. ..
/ The subcommittee, headed by
Senator Hill, Democrat, of Ala
!bama, is understood to have
learned that so far there is nc
systematic practice of police pass
ing on names of morals offenders
to their employers in the Federal
b Government.

Time Running Short
For Investigation Of
Witness 1ampering

If the present grand jury is to
report findings on recent District
Court jury tampering charges it
will have to hurry.
Unless the Federal panel con-
cludes it's investigation during the
coming week, the United States
Attorneys Office will either have
to drop the matter or start all
over with a new grand jury next
month.
The tampering charges arose in
January toward the close of the
gambling trial of William (Snags)
Lewis, Frank Billeci and Attilio
Acalotti.
The three were convicted of lot
terry operation. Lewis and Billeci
are free under $4,000 appeal bond.
Acalotti remains in Jail serving out
an earlier term for threatening a
Government witness. The witness,
Miss Bernice Franklin, was i'm
portant to the gambling cases
stemming from United States At
torney George Morris Fay's raids
in March, 1949.
Investigation Continues.
Mr.. Fay yesterday refused to
give progress report on the grand
jury deliberations which started
February 10.
He said, however, that the in
vestigation still is very much
alive" When the chief prosecu-
tors attention was called to the
slim time left for grand jury ac-
ton, he pointed out that two
regular indictment days remain
before the new panel is sworn
April 4.
Special indictments also can be
returned on any weekday, it was
noted.
To all appearances. the present
panel has held only one actual
hearing in which witnesses were
called. This was on February 10
the day Lewis was finally freed or
bond by the Court of Appeals.
Since then, at least, Mr.. Fay
and his aides have kept silent
about the case. The assisting at
torneys are William Hitz and Ed
ward L. Carey. They prosecuted
both the Lewis s-Billeci-Acalott
case as well as the first gamblins
trial of Lewis and 13 other CO.
defendants, which resulted in a
hung jury.
Club Owner Is Witness.
Chief witness at the grand
jury's session on tampering was
Benjamin Caldwell, colored, owner
of the Club Bali, 1901 Fourteenth
street NV.
Mr.. Caldwell made two or three
'in-and-out" appearances in the
grand jury room that day, osten-
sibly for purposes of identif1ca-
ton.
Others figuring in that session
were colored woman, a colored
man dressed in a tattered Army
jacket, and several Federal Bureau
of Investigation agents.
Mr.. Caldwell later told reporters
he had been a spectator at the
Lewis trial in which Judge Alex.
ander Holtzof announced tha,
bribe offers and threats were made
to three women jurors. Judge
HoltZoff also said he saw certain
unidentified spectators signal
ing" toward the jury box in the
course of the trial.
The Bali proprietor told report.
ers he had no idea why he wa.
summoned to the grand jury.
The last jury-tampering case IL
District Court arose in 1899. Judge
Bolitha j. Laws, now chief judge
sentenced Emmitt Warning
widely known gambler, a United
States Deputy Marshal, a jurol
and two others to terms of from
two to 26 months.

T. Mcintosh was retired for the

failed to score when his high fly
ball was caught in the centerfield
for out number three. Pitcher Nc
Intosh, however, worked hard on
the players of the Don @ Club in
this inning and sent them back
scoreless, striking out the last two
players. The hope of the Comman-

7th inning by scoring two runs,
the result of a few errors, base on
balls and directly caused by two

runners on second and third, the
other players were retired and the
Commanders failed to score. How
ever, the Commanders still had
courage and struck out two of the
three batters in this inning and
forced the other to ground to
shortstop and the side was retired
for no runs. The Commanders
made a desperate attempt to score
in the top Of the ninth inning, but
failed, and for the first time in
the league, the leading Comman-

TIGERS BLANKE BROWNS
SO
The Browns Baseball Club suf-
fered under the hands of Carmelo
Dolphin and his Tiger boys. He
pitched them to victory with a
score of SO for a no hitter. In this
game, only one player of the
Browns managed to get as far as
third base and he died there (base
base parlance) peacefully. Players,
fans and others must not look,
however, on the Browns as being
without playing ability, because
Pitcher Carmelo Delphi, it is said
from reliable source, has pitched
professional baseball in Puerto
Rico and as such he should be in
a class by himself from those
whose experience have been limit
ed. The writer feels that the clubs
should be protected that profess
sional players shall be barred
from our league as with such it
will create a very unfavorable sit
uation among local players.

What's the difference between

in the movies?

answers from Hollywood person
alities who have done both.
took the AP Hollywood forum
around to the Aim sets and inquired
which is the harder or more satis-
flying medium. Here are the re-
suits:
Clifton Webb-"Iu never go
back to the stage. Hollywood is
much more pleasant. Work on
the stage is arduous. If you're
successful. the play goes on in
definitely. Doing a play for two
or three years is the hardest
physical work>an actor can do. OF
course, you work hard when you're
making a movie, too. But you
usually have weeks or months be-
tween pictures when you can lie
around your swimming pool and
relax"
Richard Greene-"The stage is
easier and lot more fun than the
screen. but not as satisfying, de-
spite what many are led to believe.
1t Is satisfying to me to put it on
celluloid. because you can get
perfection on celluloid and it re-
mains perfection.
Gene Tierney-"It is harder to
be good on the screen because the
camera gets closed to the actor.
Any one who is phony or a poor
actor cannot last for long in
movies: he is too easily discovered.
You can't get by with mediocrity
on the screen"
Robert Keith-"After the first
three or four weeks of a play, the
thrill is lost. You just react auto
matically. After a few months it
is fatal to listen to what the other
actors are saying on the stage. It
will have been so long since you
heard those lines, you won't know
what to answer. The thing I like
about the movies is that when you
make it, you're through with it"
Teresa Wright" think a Aim
actor feels a certain lack of crea-
tiveness. You begin to feel like a
cog in a machine that is turning
out a product. The film actor is
dependent on many other people
for how his performance comes
out. On the stage he has more con-
troll over his work"
r David Wayne-"In a way it's
easier to act on the stage, because
the audience gives the actor i'm
mediate qualification. The Aim
actor receives no such stimulus
while he's working, and so working
in pictures is harder. Most film
people agree that the only true
qualification of the creative urge
comes in directing movies"

readiness with which their re-
quest was granted. After all, a

which will look more like a WASH

This involves taking the liberal
