the grand jury investigation grow
ing out of the Senate Crime Inves-
tigating Committees explosive set
of Prince Georges County hear
ings.
Meanwhile, on Capitol Hill, the
Senate Commerce Committee held
a closed discussion of whether or
not to take over the District crime
probe from the outgoing crime
committee but withheld decision.
Opinion Divided.
Chairman johnson of the Com
merce group said some members
advocated a District crime inves-i
tigation by his committee and,
some favored having the Senate
District Committee do it. but there
was no majority for either point
of view.
The Commerce Committee,
which by Senate resolution is rel
sponsible for continuing the crime
committees work, decided to defer
a decision on how far it will go
in crusading against crime gen.
orally until it sees the crime COM
mittee's final report.
Senator johnson said, however,
that the FBI would be invited to,
go through the crime committees
files, which also will be taken over
by the commerce group.
The District grand jury, after
Mrs. Nelson's brief appearance.
heard one witness for more than
two hours-the longest it has
heard any witness-but he turned
out to be something of mystery
man to newsmen. His name was
given as William B. Francis, but
he refused to identify himself
further. Mr.. Francis departed in
a car with Maryland license plates
listed to William B. Frances at
202 Hancock avenue, Takona
Park, Md.
Before Mrs. Nelson entered the
grand Jury room at 1918 am,
the Nelson attorney. Leo Rover,
said he advised her not to give
any testimony aaginst her hus-
band. He explained that a wife
is not compelled to answer ques-
tlons about her husband other
than such questions as his age.

She was choking down sobs as
she left the grand jury room and
CROPPED in her bag for a large
red scarf which she held to her
eyes.
Calvin Humphrey, manager of
Nelson's Ritchie (Md.) farm and
Mr.. Rover rushed to her side as
she turned her face to the wall.
They got a chair for her and
murmured soothing words.
A few minutes later, Mrs. Nell
son stepped out of the court ele-
vator on the first floor, saw the
photographers waiting for her and
promptly swathed the red scarf
around her head and the lower
part of her face.
Still wearing the scarf Moorish

West Point Readmit!
Six Accused Cadets,
Bar Group Is Told
Academy Is Silent
On Report Given to
Investigating Committee
BY the Associated Press


NEW YORK, Aug. ga bar
association hearing was told to-
day that "at least six" of the ap-
Iproximately 80 West Point cadets
accused of cheating had been re-
stored to duty at the military
academy.
The statement was made by
Robert Daru, general counsel of
the Committee on Justice of the
New York Civil and Criminal
Courts Bar Association.
At West Point, spokesman at
the military academy refused to
confirm Mr.. Darius statement.
He said an investigation into
the cheating scandal had not been
completed, and that academy au-
thorities said they could not give
a breakdown on cases until the
screening boards finish their work.
Testifies at Open Hearing.
Mr.. Daru told the committee
holding an open hearing on the
dismissal of the cadets that he had
learned "at least six men in the
last day of two have been restored
to duty. I cannot figure out the
restoration of these men, except as
"a forerunner for the restoration of
all these men,"
The West Point spokesman said
that 80 of the accused cadets had
left the academy. Of these, 73
have received administrative dis
charges and papers in the cases Of
the remaining nine have been for
warded to Washington for final
action. In case their separation
becomes final, their papers will be
forwarded to them at their homes.
The spokesman said that the
academy authorities have taken a
position from the first announce
ment of the cheating scandal that
some of the accused cadets might
possibly be exonerated.
"ShamefuI Treatment" Cited.
MIR. Daru issued a preliminary
report of his investigation early
in the week in which he charged
that the accused cadets had been
subjected to "shockingly shameful
treatment"
He told the hearing today that
lit was problematical whether a
congressional hearing would be
held. He promised to produce "a
very large number of cadets" to
testify.
ST know the whole story and the
whole story is shocking to me, +"
Mr.. Daru said.
Six former cadets were present
to testify before the committee.
They were Charles Norris Shira,
Is, Hamlin, Tex, a tackle on the
football team; Donald Senich, 81,
Cleveland, basketball center; Will
liam Flick, 20, Arlington, Tex,

lacrosse player; Peter Herman,

Hart, 20, of Brooklyn. defensive
guard.
None of s Reinstated.
Mr.. Daru said none of the six
at the hearing was reinstated.
Accompanying the cadets was
Col. Harrison Travis, retired,
father of Cadet Travis.
Shira. questioned by Mr.. Daru,
told the committee he never had
appeared before Federal Judge
Learned Hand, nor had he met
him or received any communica-
ton from him.
Judge Hand was a member of
a special three-man board ap-
pointed to investigate the crib
bing before any announcement of
the scandal was made.

day to die in the electric chair
after he was found guilty by a
jury for the third time of muir
dering a Georgia Tech student.
The Carroll County Superior
Court jury returned its verdict af-

deliberation. Judge Samuel 'Boykin
sentenced Henderson to die Mo-

new trial automatically stays the
execution. Judge Boykin set the
hearing on the motion for Decem-

Hendersons two previous con-

State Supreme Court. The third
trial was marked by disagreement
of two criminologists over whether
a pistol traced to Henderson was
the murder weapon.

NOR to kill boxing was the re-
cent smelly Sandy Saddler-Willie
Pep shindig at the Polo Grounds.
Frankly, the fight was an awful
thing, but there have been hun
dreds of good ones, and besides,
some of the blame for most of the
bad fights can be laid at the door
steps of the matchmakerS.
But prize fighting is not the
only sport under attack, nor is it
the only sport which the writer's
with limited vision have sought
to outlaw because they had no
other solution to the existing prob
lem. Following the basketball
scandal, the sports writer's wanted
to eliminate, or at least reduce the
activity to intra-mural competi-
ton. Following the West Point
cheating scandal, they want to
eliminate football, or at least trim
it down to "siZe."
Come to think of it, the sports
writers don't have too good a rec
ord for uncovering scandals on
their own, as has been done by
reporters in other fields. Various
awards, including the Pulitzer
Prize, have gone to reporters for
exposing corruption, graft and NAL
fiesance, and links between the
underworld and politicians. In
sports there have been numerous
scandals involving the various
sports, but I cannot recall sports
editor or a sports reporter ever
having won an award or even gain
ing recognition for exposing q
scandal in that field. The sports
writer's are always limiting about
something and writing about what
they know or thought after scan
dial has come to light. They become
highly indignant and outraged al
officials and the public.
1t is high time the sports writers
realized that their function is
much more important than merely
publicizing coming events to help
build the gate" General news re-
porters have exposed labor racket
eers, crooked politicians, under
world influences. in business and
in public affairs. The most recent
example of this was the job done
by reporter on a Brooklyn pa
per in bringing to light the sordic
conditions in Brooklyn leading tc
