.Bing Crosby Saved

BY the Assoeioisd Press

VANCOUVER. British Colum-
bia. May 31.-A bellhop solved
Bing Crosby's troubles after he
had been given the brush-off at
a swank hotel here.
The room clerk didn't recog-
nize the crooner-dressed in a
leather jacket and cheap dunga-
rees-and told him no rooms we're
available.
Crosby started for the door
when the bellhop recognized him,
heard his troubles and started
him via the freight elevator to
the seventh floor.
The bellhop fixed things on his
own and soon had Bing and his
producer, Bill Morrow, lodged in
two rooms.

was given.
Names of the three directors

tives got raises Of $4,000 each, and
one Of them was Russell Snod-

Scientist Acquitted
BY HoItzoff in Case Of
Refusal 10 Answer

David Joseph Bohm, 80, scien-
tist who worked at the wartime
University of California radiation
Laboratory, today was acquitted of
contempt of Congress charges.
Acquittal was by District Court
Judge Alexander HoltZof on an
|eight-count indictment which ac-
|cused Mr.. Bohm of contempt of
Congress for refusing to answer
questions in May 1949. before the
House Committee on Un-American
Activities.
The acQuittal was based on Mr..
Bohm's legal right to refuse to
answer questions before the COM
mittee on grounds of possible self
Iincrimination. Judge Holtzof sus-
ltained Mr.. Bohm'S refusal to an
Eswer on those grounds.
The trial, without a jury. lasted
less than an hour. No witnesses
were called. Assistant United
States Attorney William Hitz, who
prosecuted, went over the record
of the committee hearing.
The House committee in ques-
Ition was investigating alleged
Communist infiltration at the ra-
Idiation laboratory, where atomic
research was being conducted.
Among questions which Mr..
Bohm refused to answer was
whether he knew Steve Nelson, a
Communist party organizer.
He also refused to say whether
there was a Communist branch
set up among employees in the ra-
!diation laboratory.
Mr.. Bohm further refused to
answer whether DR.. Joseph w.
Weinberg was a known member
of the Communist Party. DIR.
Weinberg, known as Scientist

investigation.
Mr.. Bohm's acquittal raised to

vieted and in one case a jury was

We were tired and we never
questioned what they did. The
next day would be Rosh Hashon-
ah, the start of the New Year, and
we were thinking about that. And
on Rosh Hashonah they took us
out to the field where enormous
metal birds make a frightful
noise and they said, "You will go
to Israel now" But we said we
could not go on that Holy Day,
it was forbidden to travel. Then
one of our rabbis came over to us,
and he said it was urgent that we
leave that day, and the rabbis of
Israel had said we might travel.
And so we climbed into the belly
of the bird.
I do not know if you have ever
been in the sky. If you have per-
haps you will believe me when I
say that we could see whole
mountains underneath and cities
and tents like dots on the land
but we were not frightened. 1t
