consistently.
The President also laughed away
a reported statement by Republi-
can Chairman Guy Gabrielson
that COP intended to seek align
ment with DixiecratS in Tennessee
and Virginia to defeat the Demo-
Gratis.
The President declared he
thought Mr.. Gabrielson was opti-
mistic and he added firmly that
the Republican chief couldn't get
those two States.
Asked About Stassen View.
The President laughed again
and declined comment when he
was asked what he thought about
the assertion of Harold Stasscn
that Mr.. Truman is the best po-
litician and the worst President
that ever occupied the White
House.
do you agree with that view?''
a reporter asked.
The President said it takes 2
politician to become President OF
the United States.
Mr.. Truman told other sques-
tioners that he did not view the
results of a Senatorial primary
in Florida as a defeat either for
the Fair Deal or for the admin
iStration.
In some quarters the defeat of
Senator Pepper by Representative
Smathers has been hailed as a
setback for the administration.
Asked to amplify his views, the
President said that the Florida
primary was pitched on issues
local to the State.

The President declined to go on
record on the California guberna-
torail race, where James Roose-

'he has made peace with the
White House and all is we'll"
The President responded that
he had had no trouble with James
Roosevelt.

Roosevelt had been quoted as say
ing that the President was going
to support him. MIR. Truman
dropped that one with the crisp
assertion that he would like to see
a Democrat elected Governor of

Meanwhile, Donald Clemmer
Corrections Department director

the same procedure we always
follow in event of sudden death
at the jail"
Await Chemical Tests.
Reached at the jail today, Mr.
Clemmer said as far as he has
learned, nothing has turned ur
to change evidence that the death
was from natural causes.
DR.. A. Magruder Macdonald
District coroner, who last week
issued a temporary certificate o1
natural death due to acute con-
gestive heart failure, explained to-
day that chemical tests begun
yesterday will take week or 1C
days. An autopsy disclosed nc
marks OF violence on Davis, he
said.
DR.. Macdonald said today that
the autopsy showed a needle pune
ture but that further tests were
necessary to determine whether
the sedative was given.
The Federal Bureau of Investi-
CATION and the Office of the
United States Attorney, it was
learned, have shown interest in
the inquiry but have not launched
full scale inquiries of their own.
Following Usual Procedure.
Mr.. Clemmer said today that
he was informed by telephone last
week that Davis had died of nat
ural causes. He decided last Mon
day to conduct a routine investi-
cation, he commented.

brought when my loyalty was i'm
pugned in public" Mr.. Reming-
ton stated.
II find now that the question
Of my loyalty is to be reopened
once again. I cannot but feel
that this is unjust. The right
to be free from continued har-
rassment is fundamental under
our laws. In my case it is not
merely double jeopardy, it is
triple jeopardy"
Declaring that he had never
been a Communist whether at
the age of 3, 18 or 32," Mr.. Rem
ington apparently anticipated
that the committee planned to
ask him about friends he had
while employed on the IVA job.
II do not know the sources of
the information which prompted
your committee to ask for the
reopening of my loyalty" he said,
''but I am willing to state un-
equivocally and for the third time
that any person who charges that
I was a Communist during the
period of my employment with
IVA is either quite ignorant of
the facts of 13 years ago or is,
I regret to say, engaged in de-
liberate falsehood."
Arrives Is Minutes Late.
Mr.. Remington and his attor-
l1ey. Joseph L. Rauh, jr., arrived
lat the hearing Is minutes late
just as Chairman Wood was about
to order a subpoena to assure
Mr.. Remington's appearance.
Committee Counsel Frank S.
Tavenner began questioning Mr..
Remington about membership in
student organizations at Dart
mouth College. Mr.. Remington
said he never had belonged to
the American Student Union
although he took part in some
campus activities sponsored by
that organization. He also said
he never took the oxford pledge"
which opposed supporting any
war.
After relating that he took the
iva job at the end of his second
year at Dartmouth so that he
could earn money to complete his
college education. Mr.. Remington
testified, in response to questions
by Mr.. Tavenner. that his room

answered. They never said any,
thing or did anything that gave
me that impression. No one ever
told me they were"
Mr.. Remington also denied that
he ever attended Communist
Party meetings with Todd, Bryan
or any one else in Knoxville or
anywhere else.
Asked About Messenger.
The witness was asked about
a fellow TVA messenger named
Howard Allen Bridgman. He re-
called Bridgman as "a fellow
messenger I met after he re-
turned from Russia in 1885," Mr..
Remington added that he was
associated with Bridgman I'M

but now plans to recess the in
quiry while collecting information
on the entire chain by which rae
ing information moves from the
tracks to the gamblers.
Warned by Mcfarland.
The subcommittee has been
holding the hearings on pending
legislation to bar interstate pas
sage of gambling information.
In questioning Osadchey and
his partner. Tano Lococo, Senator
9 Mcfarland referred repeatedly to
{ the report of Federal grand jury
in Kansas City which said the
Kansas City gamblers get their
! information from Standard News
Service.
Osadchey, who bore the brunt
OF the questioning after Lococo
said he knew little about the busi-
ness, once was warned by Senator
Mcfarland that if he refused to
say what he charges his customers
he ran a risk of prosecution. He
said most of the customers are
charged 500 week for the Serv-
ice but he insisted on standing on
his constitutional right against
self-incrimination when asked to
q name his customers or tell how
many he has.
Says Service Is Closed.
With Attorney Myron Ehlrich
OF Washington at his elbow, Osad-
chey also refused to tell the COM
rnittee:
l. Whether he runs q booking
establishment.
q. Whether he was ever en-
gagged in the gambling business
with Gargotta or Gargotta's slain
boss. Charles Binaggio.
3. Whether he had any busi-
ness connections with a long list
OF men described in the grand jury
report as gamblers.
4. How many telephones Stand
ard uses.
When Lococo also refused, on
constitutional grounds, to say
whether he had ever discussed
gambling with Gargotta and BIZ
naggio, Senator Mcfarland told
the witnesses:
BY implication, you're in the
gambling business in Kansas City
both of you"
At one point, Osadchey volun-
teered that the race news service
is closed. He was asked why.
After short pause, he replied,
mo customers"
Shut Down Yesterday.
Senator Mcfarland asked him
II he meant there were no bookies
left in Kansas City and the wit
ness simply repeated, "No Gus
TONER'S"
Later, it developed that Stand
ard had shut down only yester-
day-the day United States mar
shal served the subcommittee S
subpoena on the two men.
Senator Mcfarland wanted to
know if the men were going back
to open up again or were shut
down for good. M
Il don't know. sir" replied
Osadchey.
You mean that depends on
how much the law enforcement
officers are after you or your Gus
tomers?" Senator Mcfarland
asked with a smile.
Don't answer that. laurmured
Mr.. Ehrilch. ~
In answer to questions. both
witnesses said they had testified
before the grand jury in Kansas
City and had not claimed consti-
tutional privilege against answer
ing questions.

remarked Osadchey.

This Is Novel Joke Twist
In Radio Give.AWay History

YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO. -
There is a new trend in "prac-
teal joking that's giving radio
give-away programs a bad jolt.
A local housewife reported
that she received a phone call
purportedly from a radio sta
ton. An unidentified voice Of
fered her $10O for the best sug-
gestion on chow to tame your
wife" She said she quickly re-
Piled, "W by. spanking. of
course"
The voice then repeated the
promise of 500 if she would
have her husband spank her
loud enough to be heard over
the phone. Eager to win the
500, she called in a neighbor
to administer the spanking be-
cause her husband wasn't home.
When the spanked housewife
called the radio station to ar
range to collect the 500 prize,
she was told the whole thing
must have been a hoax, as the
station hadn't offered any such
prize.
