Rep. Brehm Pleads
Not Guilty 10 Charge
OF Salary Kickbacks

Representative Brehm, Republi-
can, of the 18th Ohio District, to-
day pleaded not guilty when ar
raigned in District Court on
charges of receiving salary kick
backs from two of his Office clerks
to aid in his successful 1948 po-
litical campaign.
Judge Edward A. Tamm set
March IL as the date for trial. He
first suggested a date in February
but Mr.. Brehm's counsel, James
F. Reilly. asked for a date in
March.
Judge Tamm also gave Attorney
Reilly until January 8 to file any
motions in connection with the
case. The jurist set bond at 81 900
for the legislators release pending
trial. The amount Of the bond
had been suggested by Assistant
United States Attorney Raymond
E. Baker, representing the Gov
ernment.
Mr.. Brehm, who is So, posed
willingly for news photographers
outside the court building.
The seven-count indictment re-
turned against Mr.. Brehm yester-
day accuses him of receiving sums
ranging from $40 to $240 from
the two clerks to help his political
campaign. The sums received
total more than $1,000, according
to the indictment.

Despite highly vocal criticism
by two Republican members of
Congress the finishing touches to-
day were being put on the new
House and Senate chambers.
The SIS million job, which had
it's origins back in 1899. is due

The idea, of course, was to have
the great law-givers of history
portrayed in low relief heads. The
selections were made by Mr.. Sulli-
van and John Harbeson, consult
ing architect from Philadelphia,
after recommendations were re-
ceived from outstanding lawyers
and judges. historians and educa-
tors and the University of Penn

Society of Washington.
1t was decided to limit the
choice to makers of law, rather
than judges or writer's on the law,
and to those who influenced the
American legal system.

Await Sentencing as Gamblers in Trial Which Freed Lewis

Assistant United States Attor-
ney John w. Fihelly testified that
six of the men arrested in the
raid made admissions to him,
during interviews in his Office in
the District. which linked them
with the numbers syndicate, al
legedly headed by Snags Lewis.
William HitZ. another assistant
United States attorney, told the
judges he talked to one of the
prisoners after he was brought to
Washington and the latter told
him he ran errands for Snags
Lewis and was allowed by Lewis
to take numbers bets over the
telephone up to the amount of $40.
The judges, however. held these
disclosures were confessions to
be eliminated from the testimony
unless the State could prove that
no threats, abuse or promises had
been offered the prisoners between
The time of their arrest and their
questioning in the district attor-
ney's offices in Washington.
Mr.. Bowie conceded he could
not produce witnesses who might
cover all the time the prisoners
were in custody prior to their
questioning by Mr.. Fihelly and
Mr.. Hitz. The judges then ruled
out the Confessions" while al
lowing certain "admissions" by
two other defendants to go into
the record. These admittedly were
of negative nature.
Numbers Slips Seized.
Deputy marshals from the Dis
trict testified that great quanti-
ties of numbers slips were seized
in the raid, along with more than
$25 900 in cash. Francis M. Nc
Catheran told the judges he saw
100 or 200 bags of numbers slips"
during the raid and that the bags
were taken in evidence.
The deputy marshal added it
would have taken two days or so"
to initial and identify each num-
bers slip within the hundreds of
bags.

the House gallery features blue

found objection to several items.
