lenged Chairman O'Conor, Demo-
crat, of Maryland, of the Senate
Crime Committee. to point out
testimony that shows gambling
continues to exist on an extensive

companied by an implied threat to

racketeering in Maryland, which is
being prepared from reports gath
erred by investigators for the Gov
ernor.

said gambling not only continues
to exist in Florida on an extensive
scale, but is controlled by inter-
state syndicates and unsavory as
.sociates of.Some men in high Office
In a prepared statement of more
than 1000 words, distributed to
capitol neWsmen, Gov. Warren
said:
If O'Conor will point out any
testimony which proves that gam
bling continues to exist on an ex-
tensive scale in Florida, will not
release any of the mass of facts
about him which has been fur
Inished me by several sources in
Maryland"

Senate Approval Seen
Next Week ON Postal i,
Classified Pay Raises
BY Joseph Young

| Chairman Johnston of the Sem
ate Civil Service Committee today
Expressed confidence that the Sem
ate next week will give its approval
to the Federal classified and postal
employes' pay bills.
While Senator Johnston was
disappointed at the Senate's fail
ure last night to take up the
measures, because of the length
of time spent on the postal rate
bill, he said Senate Majority
Leader Mcfarland has promised
him the pay bills will be taken up
soon as possible
Senator Mcfarland indicated
that the 8.4 per cent average
classified pay bill and the 88 per
cent postal salary measure will
come UP Tuesday or Wednesday
Senate action on the pay meas
lures had been scheduled yesterday
but the Senate spent two days on
the postal rate bill and didn't wind
|up final action until 7 o'clock last
night.
Time Running Out.
Federal pay-raise sponsors were
visibly disappointed. The time
element is an all-important factor
in the situation, since Congress
is shooting for an october l ad-
iournment.
However, Senator Mcfarland S
statement reasSured them and
they have high hopes of a pay
raise going through this year.
The Senate is in recess today
On Monday, it will take up the
1852 military appropriations bill
which is expected to take up two
OF three days times.
/ Following that, the Senate lead
ership will try to squeeze in the
Federal pay raise bills on the
schedule before going on to for
eign aid appropriations and the
tax bill.
Wins Economy Advocates.
Sentiment in the Senate seems
Overwhelmingly in favor of a Fed
eral salary increase. Such economy
advocates as Senators Douglas
Democrat, of Illinois; Russell
Democrat, of Georgia, and Dirk
sen, Republican, of Illinois. al
ready have announced they favor
pay raises.
The only problem is for the
Senate to find enough time to ACT
on the legislation.
I'VE can get through with both
bills in a couple of hours" Sena-
tor Johnston declared.
The legislation involves more
than Is million classified anC
postal workers, about 255,000 ir
the Washington area.
On the House side, the HOUSE

Nelson records had been broken,
enabling the prosecutors to show
that Nelson had been paying for
police protection.
The District Attorneys Office
also said yesterday that a proSpec-

without telling the public why
became big issue today in a
Senate subcommittee inquiry of
possible relationships between
Jack Cowart and Texans who got
IRFC loans.
Senator Mundt, Republican, of
North Dakota, member of the
subcommittee, told reporters that
Secretary of Agriculture Brannan's
dismissal of Mr.. Cowart without
disclosing the reasons smacked of
a bureaucratic iron curtain"
The Senator criticized secrecy
he said has marked the entire
handling of the case by the de-
partment. He added that "the
poor taxpayer ought to be get
ting pretty frustrated with this
sort of thing going on"

The Agriculture Department
recently announced the dismissal
of Mr.. Cowart as assistant to the
production and marketing ad-
ministrator. Secretary .Brannan
has refused to say why Mr.. Cowart
was dropped.
The dismissal, however, followed
information obtained by the Fed
eral Housing and Home Agency IN
the course of an independent in
Iquiry into Government loans to
Capital Prefabricators, Inc, of
Tyler. Tex. Raymond j. Foley,
the agency head, refused to give
out details but said his report TO

Senator Hoey, Democrat, of
North Carolina. chairman of the
Senate Investigations subcommit-
tee, said he has assigned the case
to staff investigators for a check
: and has had Mr.. Brannan in "for
a talk" Mr.. Brannan, he said, is
conducting an inquiry of his own
, and will report his findings to the
: subcommittee for a recheck.
Sees Wide Ramifications.
Senator Mundt told reporters he
was instrumental in the Subcoln-
Imittee'S decision to investigate and
that the departments secrecy
policy" was a factor in his move
:, for an inquiry.
This case evidently has wide
, ramificationS," he said, "but We
are going to get to the bottom of
, it and clear up all this secrecy"
= He added that the information

people in Texas, some of them in

t He disclosed that tips" have
