Of Wisconsin has challenged "any
one" to find one false line in q

spiracy against the United States
This was Senator Mccarthy
response to a remark by Presi-

By tn. As,oeiotsd prsss

NEW YORK, July 21.-A new
chapter has been written in. the
saga Of Serge Rubinstein, the con-
troversial international financier
who started life as the son of
Iflnancier for the last Russian Car.
Rubinstein, once convicted of
draft lodging. tearfully heard q
Federal Court jury acquit him
yesterday on charges Of mail fraud
and securities law violations.
If the jury had convicted him
on all the counts in two indict-
ments, the 43-year-old financier
would have faced a maximum of
20 years in jail and $4,000 in
fines
The verdict after two hours
deliberation was greeted by cheers
and applause from friends of
Rubinstein in the courtroom,
forcing Federal Judge Charles
Dewey to order the room cleared.
Rushed to Thank Jurors.
Rubinstein rushed to the jury
box to thank the eight men and
-four women jurors. Later he told
Inewsmen:
II am a great believer in Amer
ican justice. I believe that the
jurors expressed that high prin-
Iciple."
| During the trial, which lasted
20 court days, the Government
accused RubinStein of Swinaling
investors out of So million to So
million by rigging common stock
of Panhandle Producing & Rein
ing Co. through false and mis-
leading statements regarding its
prospects.
For Rubinstein, the trial was
the latest in financial affairs on
four continents that have built
up a reputed S. million personal
fortune.

Paris to help his brother in a
banking business. In 1895, at the
age Of q, Rubinstein was expelled
from France by then Premier
Pierre Laval, who said the emi-
gre's speculations endangered the
franc.
Rubinstein came to the United
States in 1898. and soon became
known as the hoy wonder" Of
Wall Street.
! But after World War II, he was
convicted Of draft lodging and
sent to a Federal penitentiary for
two years.
/ He said he feared this convic-
tion might influence the jurors
in their deliberations yesterday
On the Panhandle case. However,
a woman juror remarked:
None of us would allow his
conviction for draft dodglng to
affect our Judgment on the facts
in this case"

Chairman Spence of the House
Banking Committee, who was f1ool

to get more satisfactory bill out

Committee.
Its not satisfactory bill now,
he commented.

however. that the bill gives Presi-

to take care of the inf1ationary sit
uation and keep down prices if he
uses it,"
/ A similar view was expressed
by Representative Wolcott. the
Republican floor manager. who
said it is "a workable bill"
There's no reason why these
controls can't be effective If prop.

Bill Weak, Brown Says.
/ Representative Brown. Repub-

Record Of Mason's
| Influence Deals Semi
To Federal Agencies

The record of the amazingly
productive operations of Sam D.
Mason, a so-called Washington
agent, described as a "con man
with a criminal record, went to
the Justice Department and Bu-
reau of Internal Revenue today
for possible action.
The record was Immediately for
warded to the Government agen-
lcieS by the Senate Investigating
subcommittee at the conclusion OF
hearings yesterday. The hearings
revealed Mason, who said his real
name is Samuel Mussman, had
obtained thousands of dollars as
an agent for persons seeking bar
gain leases on Government build
'ings and defense contracts.
A Justice Department official
said the testimony will receive
very prompt study"
Mason, who testified yesterday
admitted receiving more than
100000 from two New York
priests Of the Greek Catholic
Church's Order of St. Basil the
Great. a Philadelphia couple and
a Boston contractor.
$350,0OO take" Estimated.
Testimony during the two-day
hearing indicated, however, that
Mason obtained much more-pos-
sibly as much as, 4$250.0o0 from
those clients since 1948. The
subcommittee headed by Senator
Hoey, Democrat. of North Caro-
lima, estimated his take" from
gullible victims at more than
$3.50, 900.
Francis Flanagan, chief COM
mittee counsel. said no effort was
made to make a complete inves-
tigation of Mason, who has a
record Of numerous arrests and
several convictions on fraud
charges.
1t was indicated the Justice De-
Ipartment will undertake a fuller
inquiry to determine whether Ma
son ensnared other victims on his
scheme to obtain leases on sur
plus Government buildings. 1t was
brought out that he sold his propo-
sition on the idea that the Govern
ment was going underground
because of possible atomic attacks
and buildings would be available
for a nominal payment.
Tax Angle Stressed.
Senator Mundt. Republican, OF
South Dakota, a member of the
investigating committee, said he
hoped the department and the
Bureau of Internal Revenue would
concentrate on Mason's testimony
that he had filed no income taxes
for more than 20 years.
He also said he would urge the
committee to issue a report warn
ing the public against get-rich-
Iquick schemes" and added:
Conditions in the country at
present are conducive to creation
of a Swindler'S paradise"
Soon after the hearings ended
the Revenue Bureau announced
lit had a representative present
during the testimony in which
Mason blandly admitted he had
filed no income tax returns on the
thousands of dollars he had OBJ
tanned from his Clients" since
1913.
Lost Leg i'm First World War.
In fact. Mason admitted under
questioning. he had filed no re-
turns since sometime before 1929.
He also told the committee 1e
had lost a leg during World War
l and was drawing $195 a month
lin Government compensation. He
denied, however, that he used his
artificial limb as a repository for
his cash, except in one instance.
That, he said, was back in 1928,
when $4,000 was found cached
there.
