Gov. Dewey's
Action Saves
Fugitive From
Dixie

hLDhN i, IN H.. iIiODdl -
Following an exchange of tele-
grams between Gov. Thomas. E.
Dewey of New York and Gov. Cor
don Persons of Alabama, Wesley
Mallory, who fled en- Alabama
prison farm in 1915 and settled in
Albany, has had the shadow of
prison removed from his trail.
Convicted in an Alabama court
on a theft charge involving $40 IN
1882, Mallory was sentenced to
100 years. After serving 10 years,
he escaped and moved north.
Mallory settled near here, mar
ried, bought a home, and became
the father Of three children. He
has a steady job record as steel
worker.
Two months ago, Mallory was
arrested by local police on a charge
II drunkenness, and after rou-
tine check-up, it was disclosed that
ne was from Alabama, whose au-
thorities Immediately requested ex-
tradition. Governor Dewey signed
the extradition papers, bit before
Mallory was removed, the New
York State Executive sent a tele-
gram to Governor Persons calling
attention to facts involved in the
Mallory case and asked that they
be considered. The facts were
brought to Governor Dewey's at
tention by a law firm here which
investigated the case. It was
learned that Mallory was only IA
years old at the time OF his arrest
and conviction.
Investigation here revealed that
Mallory had established himself as
good worker and generally a
good citizen. 1t was against this
background that Governor Dewey
took action in his behalf.
Governor Persons, in his tele-
gram to Governor Dewey, thanked
the New York Chief Executive for
the information, and notified him
that the extradition warrant was
being withdrawn. Governor Per-
sons told Governor Dewey that he
had decided that the time served
by Mallory 'swas enough for the
charge he was sent up for"
Attorneys here and in New York
City were loud in their praise of
Governor Dewey for his interview
ton in the Mallory case. A Har-
lem lawyer pointed out that tie
course followed by Governor Dew
ey might well set a precedent tor
future handling of extradition
cases.
1t has been the practice of MANY
attorneys to ask Governors of
States Ill which fugitives have
found asylum to deny the request
of the Governor of the State from
which the prisoner is a fugitive.
Some Governors have been more
inclined than others to follow this
pollcy. Many lawyers, in asking
that extradition warrants be de-
lned, have argued tnat the prisoner
would not receive a fair trial if
returned; others have even de-
clared that the prisoner might be
lynched.
1t the Dewey formula is adopted
as a general practice, some attor-
neys believe the ends of Justice
might we'll be served, and that a
Governor of the asylum State,
meanwhile, would he remaining
faithful to his duty and response

BALTIMORE, Mar. Owen

ing from 1000 high school boys
today when he made speech the
City Council sought to block.
The Far Eastern affairs spe-
cialist took only passing notice Of
the heated controversy his ap-
pearance had provoked. He dwelt
instead on the theme that the
United States needs to find a sim
gle foreign policy that will work
in both Europe and Asia.
Mr.. baltimore was one of the
principal targets when Senator
Mccarthy, Republican, of Wis.,
consin made his charges in
Washington last year that Reds
had infiltrated the State Depart
ment. Majority members of a spe-

tee called the charges a fraud
and hoax.

suggestion that todays speech at

'FBI Refers lis Carolina
Land Deal Probe 10
Justice Department
Mcmahon Asserts No One
Will Make Any 'UnhoIy'
Profits Out of Site
By Miriom Gutenberg

The Federal Bureau of Investi-
CATION has referred the inquiry
into South Carolina land-grabbing
to the Justice Department "for
their advice" an FBI spokesman
disclosed today.
The FBI was one of three out
fits brought into the investigation
of reports that real estate specu-
lators, armed with advance tips
on the Government plans to
build a huge H-Bomb plant in
South Carolina, bought up land
before the Government announce
ment of the site selection.
Also investigating are the
Atomic Energy Commission and
the Joint Congressional Atomic
Energy Committee. Gov. James c.
Byrnes of South Carolina has
asked for a Federal investigation
of reports that big profits have
been made through land pur-
chases in the vicinity of the pro-
jected 250,000-acre project.
Mcmahon Issues Warning.
Chairman Mcmahon of the
Joint Atomic Energy Committee
took the floor yesterday to de-
clare:
IF anybody thinks they are
going to make any unholy, illegal
profits down there and get away
with it, just want to advise them
they are not going to do it."
He disclosed that investigators
are now checking into every
single transaction" in real estate
around the site. but he made it
clear that the investigators are
distinguishing between trans
actions that took place before
the November % announcement
of the site and since that time.
What the investigators seek to
learn is whether the purchases
and options taken on large tracts
of land before November % were
simply the result of some smart
deduction or resulted from a
leak" from those who had ad-
vance information but were en-
joined to secrecy.
Secret Known by 500.
An Acc official said as many
as 500 persons might have been
in on the secret. These included
officials of Acc, the Dupont Co.,
the Army Corps of Engineers, the
Joint Atomic Energy Committee,
the White House staff, the Joint
Chiefs of Staff and the military
liaison committee between Acc
and the armed forces. Dupont is
the contracting company.

official pointed out, a really

Senator Byrd, Democrat, of Vir-
ginia, threw his support today be-
hind Republican demands that
American troop commitments for
Western Europe be approved by
law.
Administration supporters, led
by Senator Connally, Democrat. of
Texas, have been hoping to con-
fine action to a Senate resolution
of approval, which would not go
to the House, nor have the force
of law.
Senator Byrd's announcement
came as the Foreign Relations and
Armed Services Committees met
Jointly at 10 am. for a test vote
on which of the two procedures
to follow. The Virginian's posi-
ton is important because the
party division in the two commit
tees is IA Democrats to II Repub-
licans. Some members. however
doubted the vote would be reached
today.
Republicans Suggest Compromise
A group of Republicans, led by
Senator Smith of New Jersey,
have suggested compromise
course under which the commit
tees would bring out two resolu-
tions. One would be acted on by
the Senate alone. as advocated
by Democrat leaders. The other
would go through the full legis-
lative mill and become law. In
two-hour session yesterday the
opposing sides were unable to
agree on that two-step approach.
Senator Byrd emphasized that
he supports the sending of more
American ground forces to the
international army being devel-
oped by Gen. Eisenhower, under
the North Atlantic Treaty. The
President has decided to send
four divisions to back up the two

ginian is convinced, however, that

Davis has said he left the truck
in Baltimore on New Years Day
when his fancy turned to a 1851
Chevrolet. When the Baltimore
police spotted the tagless car, they
knew nothing about the Christmas
mail arrangement, so they simply
reported their find to military
police. 1t was an Army truck,
they could clearly see.
