ElIingson Charges
Attempt TO Buy His
Silence After Custer
By DonoId B. HodIey

Carl H. EllingSon, depoSed pres
ident of the First Federal Savings
and Loan Association who is
suing seven directors for $500 600
on a charge of conspiracy. yester-
day accused the defendants of
trying to buy his silence with
First Federal funds.
The new accusation was con-
tanned in an amended complaint
filed in District Court. An asso-
citation spokesman denied that
any such offer had been made,
but said directors had discussed
a possible severance payment to
Mr.. EllingSon as is customary in
such cases.
In answer to the original COM
plant, filed late in June, defense
counsel filed a motion for sum-
mary Judgment or dismissal which
is still pending.
The Star yesterday enormously
stated that the court already had
ruled on the motions and ordered
the amended complaint.
The amended complaint charged
that a conspiracy to depose Mr..
Ellington was Matched and per-
fected at four secret meetings be-
fore the annual stockholders
meeting Of the association last
January II.
The defendants, Edwin Jacob
son, Milton I. Baldinger, M. B.
Swanson, Marion E. Poole. Harold
Shelters, A. E. Giegengack, Thom-
as E. Lodge, were involved in the
meetings, the complaint said.
Among the defendants acts
which Mr.. Ellingson charges were
fraudulent and deceitful was the
annual report of Mr.. Giegengack,
who was to succeed Mr.. Ellington,
to stockholders Immediately prior
to the custer. The complaint
states that the report praised the
accomplishments of First Federal
under the able leadership of your
resident" and was designed to as
sure majority vote to carry out
secret plans.
The complaint further charged
that one week after ouSting the
plaintiff from Office the defend
ants announced that Mr.. Filing
son had retired after an out
standing career at First Federal
After failing to buy the plaintiff S
silence they maliciously slandered
him to justify their conduct, the

Admiral C. Turner Joy. chief Al
lied negotiator. Admiral Joy pa
tiently has been handling the
topsy-turvy discussions with the
Reds since they opened July 10.
Admiral Joy and his delegation
remained at MunSan. Should the
talks break down permanently,
there was the question whether
the U. N. would be given time to
remove the delegates before a
Red offensive broke.
MaSsed Chinese and North Ko-
reans were poised all along the
Korean front. They had been re-
inforced steadily since the Kae-
song talks started.
The Red radio has boasted that
the Communists now possess the
modern weapons, including heavy
artillery and airplanes, to make
things tough for the u. N.
Only last night q Communist
broadcast boasted:
Even with limited artillery and
light infantry weapons, the Chi
nese volunteers together with the
Korean Peoples Army have wiped
out 100000 enemy troops, a con-
siderable part being American.
This is the main reason why the
Kaesong armistice talks came into
being.
"Now that the Chinese volun-
teers possess modern weapons, in
cluding heavy artillery and air.

and Gen. Kim II Sung have men
toned recently, the military sit
uation will be still more unfavor-
able to the American aggressors
if they insist on continuing the
war"
Highest ranking 9th Army Of
f1cers, including the commander
Gen. James A. Van Fleet, aren't q
bit faxed by such talk. They re-
peatedly have stated that the 9th
Army can handle anything the
Communists can throw.
Strongest Line Now Held.
Never before have the Allies
held a line so strong in Korea

Noting recent demands in Con-
gress for some action by the ad-
ministration in the Oats case,
Senator Cain added:
'It is q sorry thing that the
heads of the Government of the
United States must be presSured
by the Congress in taking deter
mined action to release from tor
ture and false Imprisonment a
citizen who has done no wrong, a
man who was entitled to all the

New Envoy to See AchesOn.
In urging the President to end
trade concessions by proclamation,
Senator Cain pointed out that
such action through the process
of negotiations would be a long
drawn out affair and said:
IF this is our major effort to
release william Oats from his
cruel Imprisonment, it is, let us
all see clearly, a most regrettably
slow and torturouS one"
Last week, Senator Cain wrote
the President urging him to make
the presentation of credentials by
new Czech Ambassador vladimir
Prochazka a dramatic opportunity
for demanding the release of Mr..
Oats.
The Senator's Office said today
he had received no reply to his
letter.

scheduled to see Secretary of
State Acheson this afternoon to
arrange for presenting his
credentials to the President.

Mr.. Anderson showed his creden-
tialS.
A Bureau of Internal Revenue
spokesman later identified the
man with the brief case as Will
liam B. Anderson, Revenue Bu-
reau agent, and said Mr.. Ander-
son wanted to talk to several per-
sons outside the grand jury room,
but not about the Nelson case.
Nelson is said to be under tax
investigation himself. Nelson ap-
peared before the grand jury for
more than an hour yesterday, but
Mr.. Fihelly said he was "un-
cooperative"
Shortly after the session with
the tax agent in the hallway, Mr..
Pumphrey took his turn before
the grand jury.
"Tip-Off" to Be Explained.
Mr.. Pumphrey was likely, to be
questioned about his version Of
the alleged "tip-off" of a pro-
jected police raid on a Nelson
car August 8. In crime commit
tee testimony, Mr.. Pumphrey was
named by Prince Georges County
Detective Ralph Bond as the
source of the detectives informa-
ton that Nelson had known about
the police plans about two hours
before the futile raid.
Mr.. Pumphrey was quoted as
saying the "tip-off" came so late
that frantic efforts had to be
made to divert the car carrying
the numbers before it reached
the police trap. The car, ac-
|cording to this secondhand tes-
timony, was sent back into the
District for that days settlement
|of the numbers business.
It was indicated that this story
might be scrutinized by the grand
jury in its search for possible
conspiracy between Maryland and
Prince Georges County operators
to violate gaming laws.
