REP. BREHM CONVICTED,
 FED. JURY
C0rnressman Found Guig. fly of Receiving S1,000
 UnlawfulIy

WASHINGTON, May 1 = LR = Republican Rep. Walter E. Brehm of Ohio, a five-term member of Congress, was convicted last night of receiving Sl,000 in unlawful politi- cal contributions.
 After deliberating four hours and 18 minutes, a Federal Court jury of 10 men and two women found the 58-year-old Ohioan guilty on five counts, involving as many S200 con- tributions from Mrs. Emma s. Cra- ven while she worked for him in 1e48.
 The maxlmum sentence that could be imposed is Is 5ears in prison and $2s,000 fine. But maximum penalties seldom are imposed in convictions on several counts.
 Brehm was convicted of breaking a law that forbids congressman to receive gifts from persons on the Federal payroll.
 Brehm's lawyer, Leo A. Rover told reporters he will ask for new trial. Failing that, he said, he will appeal the case to higher courts.
 The tall, heavy-set congressman was pale, but showed no emotion when Jury Foreman B. Richard Breslar. a restaurant operator, an- nounced the verdict in an almost empty courtroom.

 US. CRIME
 E ISSUED
US. Ambassador 0'Dwyer Named Contributor in
 NY investigation

WASHINGTON, May R - Senate crime investigators today accused Ambassador Wm. O'Dwyer of contributing to the growth of or ganized crime in New York City, where they said underworld king pin Frank Costello is a power in Democratic politics.
 ODwyer was New York's mayor from 1946 until last fall when Presi- dent Truman appointed him ann bassador to Mexico. From 1940 to 1942 O'Dwyer was district attorney of Kings County (BrooklynD.
 Referring to ODwyer's tenure both as mayor and district attorney, the crime committee had this to say in a lengthy and hard-hitting report on it's year-long probe of gangsterism.
 Investigation Blocked
 Neither he nor his appointees took any effective action against the top echelons of the gambling, narcotics, waterfront, murder or book making rackets. In fact. his actions impeded promising inyesti- gations of such rackets.'
 The crime probers, headed by Senator Kefauver (D-Tenn), also said O'Dwyer had named to high public office friends of Costello and Joe Adonis, another big-time rack eteer and gambler.
 And after a lengthy detailing Of Costello's alleged political manipu- lations. tn e Senate committee summed up in these words:
 Sinister Influence E Tt is apparent to the committed that despite Costello's protestations his sinister influence is still strong in the councils of the Democratic party organization in New York County"
 The senators devoted about 50 pages of the 195-page report to their New York City investigation, where O'Dwyer and Costello were the ma for witnesses at hearings viewed on television by upwards of 20,000,00( persons.
 ThrottIing Laws Asked The report, rushed to completion late last night, also asked Congress for a batch of laws aimed at throt- ting the nations big crime ane gambling syndicates by cutting thu profits out from under them. Gambling profits are the princi- pal support of big-time racketeer- ing and gangsterism, the senator said.
 They recommended legislation tt outlaw transmission across stat' lines of information for illega gambling, to prohibit illegal gambl' ing losses or expenses from beint deducted for income tax purposes to deny use of the mails or othel interstate communications to mak' or pay off bets, to ban the interstate transmissions of punchboards, rou lette wheels and other gaming de Continued on Page Two)

The W ashinyton Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON


 (Copyright. 1851. oy Bell Syndicate, Inc. WASHINGTON - Before Presi- dent Truman made his tough deci- sion to fire General Macarthur, he asked General Matt Ridgway for a confidential opinion as to whether U. N. forces could hold against the expected big Communist offensive.
 Truman took this precaution, first because it had been known for some time that the offensive was coming. second because he also knew what a catastrophe torrent of criticism would be heaped on his head if after relieving Macarthur, U. N. forces suffered a staggering defeat.
 Gen. Ridgway cabled back that his forces could hold. He went fur ther and stated that he could hold against any enemy attack for sixty days-even without achievements The Pentagon, reporting this to the White House, said they had complete confidence in Ridgway, so Truman shot the works with Mac Arthur.
 There are several important req sons for this confidence, all going to the tremendously improved fighting quality and command of American troops.

BIG DRIVE. IS HALTED,
 BRIEF TIME
Allied Power Poured Into Commie Rdnks-Reds
 Drying Up Rivers
By Associated Press

Dy hSSOCldtSu ITCso
 An Allied curtain of steel kept Communists from the May Day prize of Seoul today.
 Massed artillery, warship guns and a record swarm of planes halted he Reds on the fringe of the anc- ent Korean capital, but there were signs the weight of their massive bring offensive was shifting to the Central front.
 Preparing for their new attack. the Communists cut off the water supply in an attempt to dry up the rivers on their invasion route. They closed the sluice gates of the vast Hwachon Dam to lower the waters of the Han and Pukhan rivers, pre- sumably to make it easier for their assault forces to cross.
 Ominous Red Buildup
 A heavily censored dispatch from AP Correspondent Nate Polowetzky told of an ominous buildup of Red forces along the Chunchon-H -Hong- chon invasion route. He said U. s, artillery broke up enemy concen- trations southeast of Red-held Chunchon and north of Hongchon
 In nine days of battle the Com munist casualties mounted to 75.- 900 Allied sources said.
 Seoul Defended
 Seoul was being stoutly defended by Allied big buns pumping thous- ands of shells into the northern hills where the Communists were grouping. Warshops off Inchon, the port of Seoul. laid down a heavy curtain of fire northwest of the ancient capital.
 Air Offensive
 LIN planes mounted the greatest ah offensive of the war to hold the Reds in check. Altogether the Far Eastern Air Forces flew 1,277 sort ies, a new air record. A communi- que said LIN air might smashed determined large scale Communist supply buildup."
 Another jet battle was fought over northwest Korea. Twenty-Five US. F-86 Sabre jets dueled with a like number of Soviet-type MIG-15s. One enemy jet was reported downed and four others hit. No U. s. planes were damaged.
 Warning Giver
 A warming that the Communists might strike heavily with air power came from Rear Adm. Lyman A. Thacney's flagship Eldorado. The message said the Reds had 5000 planes ready for such an attack but Allied warships lying off Inchon were ready with potent anti-air- craft fire.
 Red Smash Checked The Army disclosed the U. s. First Marine Division and British Bri- gade checked the crushing Red smash at the center of the Allied line April 22 when the Reds opened their spring offensive. Censorship ] was lifted, to tell the story of how l the Marines and the British BriJ gade held the line after their Hanks were exposed by collapse of South Korean division.
 Fighting Terrific One Marine officer, It. Col. Webb | D. Sawyer of Alexandria, Va, said | the fighting in checking the break through by l40000 Chinese was worse than anything the Marines saw in Northeast Korea last winter
