Remington Insists
He Gave No Secrets
To Miss Bentley
BY the Associated Press


NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-William
w. Remington insisted under
cross-examination today he never
gave any secret information to
Elizabeth Bentley, former Soviet
spy courier.
The 33-year -old former Gov
ernment official is being tried on
q perjury charge for telling Fed
eral grand jury he never was a
Communist.
He said he had known her as
q research worker for left-wing
publications. He gave her non
secret press material, he said, that
upheld policies of the War Pro-
duction Board.
Remington conceded under
questioning by United States At
storney Irving H. Saypol that his
WPB job was not in the press
division and that nobody author
tied him to deal with he left
wing press.
Mr.. Saypol read testimony by
Remington before Senate COM
mittee in August, 1948. in which
he said he believed Miss Bentley
was "a sincere woman, doing her
best for her country"
Mr.. Saypol asked Remington
whether he would vouch now for
everything Miss Bentley told Sen
ate investigators.
Eyes, as to her own activities;
no, as applied to mine" said Rem
tngton.
When Saypol pressed for a yes
or no answer, Remington replied:
mo"
,. Mr.. Saypol read Miss BentIey's
testimony before the House Un-
American Activities Committee on
July 80, 1948, when she said Rem
ington knew he was paying dues
to the Communist Party and that
the information he gave her was
for the Communists.
Appears Unperturbed.
Remington insisted a payment
he made to her was for the Joint
.Anti-Fascist Refugee Committee
and that the information was for
,left-Wing newspapers.
The defendant appeared unper-
'turoed as the defense and prose-
cution clashed frequently over
the reading of testimony before
congressional committees.
r The defense contended Mr.
Saypol did not read Remington
complete replies.
When cross-examination began
yesterday, Remington acknowl-
edged his loyalty was investigated
several times during his nine years
as Federal employe.

BY the Associated Press

HACKENSACK, N. j.. Nov. 27.
Deputy Attorney General Harry
|Towe today called several under
world figures to tell the Bergen
County grand jury what they
know about the Staying of Willie
Moretti.
AS the witnesses, one of whom
was Albert Anastasia, reputed
top-drawer member of Murder,
Inc, waited outside the grand jury
room, Mr.. Towe said there was no
evidence to back up published re-
ports linking New York City police
to the Moretti murder plot.
Referring to a New York Daily
News story that racketeers and
present or former police got up
$250,000 to buy off bigtime Bookie
Harry Gross and then were
double-crossed by Moretti, Mr..
Towe said:
THAT theory has been kicking
around for some time, ever since
Mcdonald (Brooklyn District At
torney Miles McDonald) said
that Gross was paid off when he
skipped to Atlantic City during his
trial.
so far as we have been able to
determine, there is nothing to
back up the theory. I think we
