McGrath Says
His Department
Is in Good Shape
Questioning Reveals
House Group Seeks
Files of II Cases
By George Beveridee

Attorney General McGrath
said today he was convinced JUS
tice Department Offices are Gin
good shape" and do not need in
vestigation "any more than those
in any other department"
He made the statement in reply
to suggestions of an FBI check of
key officials as he took the witness
chair before House Judiciary
subcommittee investigating JUS
tice Department activities.
Questioning at the first formal
hearing Of the inquiry also
brought:
l. An assertion by Mr.. McGrath
that department officials are "less
and less willing to take RESPONSE
bility' for decisions against prose-
Oution of cases sent to the depart
ment. He said this reluctance
has grown since last years dis
closures of tax scandals.
2. Disclosures by Representative
Keating, Republican, of New York,
that the committee has demanded
Justice Department files on IL
specific cases. Mr.. McGrath said
President Truman would decide
whether such executive files are
to be turned over.
8. A fiat refusal by the witness
to say whether he suggested that
Mr.. Truman deny an earlier COM
mittee demand for voluminous
lists Of cases bearing on the de-
partment's prosecution record.
Recess Until Monday
The seven man subcommittee
recessed its questioning of the At
torney General until Monday,
after Mr.. McGrath said he would
be unable to testify Friday be-
cause of a cabinet meeting.
Appearing in response to an
Invitation" Mr.. McGrath was
accompanied by Joseph Duggan,
his top aide, and insisted upon
being sworn in before testifying.
Committee members had decided
not to place him under oath for
the first appearance.
After reading a prepared ex-
phantom Of Justice Department
operating procedures. Mr.. Nc
Grath was asked by Chairman
Chelf, Democrat, of Kentucky. if
he thought an FBI check of key
officials would be wise.
The Attorney General said he
had no objection to such a check
but later he said he had IAN in
nate dislike of placing honorable
men under suspicion" and said
such a check would place an adj
ditional burden on the already
overloaded FBI.
Raises Caudle Dismissal.
MIR. Chelf raised the point of
the dismissal last year of T.
Lamar Caudle as head Of the De-
partment's tax division, and
pointed out that his activities
came in the wake of the tax-scan-
dial inquiry.
II don't believe, because Mr..
Caudle was indiscreet. unwise, or
whatever term you wish to apply
to him, that that should reflect
discredit on any one else in the
department" Mr.. McGrath said.
Asked about the availability Of
department files on specific cases,
Mr.. McGrath asked that he be
allowed to work out arrangements
with Committee aides as the in
Quiry progresses.
He stressed that the depart
ment was "fussy" about keeping
the files secret only to protect in
nocent persons or the Govern
ment's chances for prosecution.
In an opening statement Chair
man Chelf disclosed that hearings
on specific cases probably will not
be scheduled "for considerable
length of time"

Glen Burnie SIaYer's
Sentence 10 Life
Governor, Not Sure Of
Edwards Guilt, Saves
Him From Execution
BY The Associated Press

BALTIMORE. Mar. 26.-Gov.
McKeldin today saved Thomas A.
Edwards from hanging for the
murder of a young Glen Burnie.
Md, couple in 1948.
The Governor commuted his
sentence to life imprisonment,
saying:
II would not want to have on
my conscience the putting to
death of any man whose guilt is
in doubt. Some disinterested per-
sons who have studied the case
closely are haunted by persistent
doubts"
Bodies Found Near Road.
Edwards, ~, colored, was con-
victed Of the murder of John II.
Mahlar, 25-year-old clerk in the
Glen Burnie postoffice, and 49,
year-old Mary Kline. the redhead
he dated.
They went for o ride on the
night of September II, 1948.
Mr.. Mahlan's bullet-shattered car
was found the next morning in a
bean patch about 8 miles south
east Of Glen Burie.
The bodies were found three
days later of a back road II miles
west Of Annapolis.
The State contended Edwards
attacked the couple while they
were parked near the bean patch,
enraged because Mr.. Mahlan's car
almost brushed him of the road
when it passed him a few minutes
earlier.
Conviction Overturned.
Edwards was convicted the first
time in February, 1949, with the
use of a signed statement he gave
police. The Court of Appeals over
turned this conviction in Febru-
ary Of 1850 on the ground he had
been improperly induced to make
the statement.
The second conviction in June
Of 1850, by a two-judge court in
Baltimore, was based entirely on
evidence-chiefiy
the fact police found a gun at Ed
wards home which fired a cart
ridge case unearthed at the spot
where the bodies were discovered.
Defense attorneys contended
the cartridge case might have
been planted at the scene almost
a week after the bodies were
found.
The Court of Appeals upheld
this conviction last October and
the second death sentence was
imposed on Edwards.
The Governor was to fix the
date for the hanging. but it had
never been set.
McKeldin Explains Action.
Gov. McKeldin explained his
committing of the sentence in q
three-page statement. conclud-
ing:
"The question I am called upon

next SIX days. Now IN its 14th
season, the Lucia Chase Oliver
Smith troupe in its current en-
gagement is in a position to dis
play its scope and brilliance as
never before in Washington.
The program with which it be-
gan this happy revelation last
night was highlighted by Agnes
de Miles latest contribution to
Ballet Theater's repertory. THE
Harvest According" The Surmise
of this charter member of the
De Mile fan club is that this new
ballet is her greatest work, a
feeling apparently shared by an
all too small opening nights
audience.
"The Harvest According" de-
rived from Walt Whitman's lines,
Life. life is the tillage.
And Death is the harvest accord
ing"
is a lyrical departure from Miss
De Miles earlier style. It is a
dramatic slice of life that is
American in flavor and vitality,
yet one which speaks a universal
and eternal truth.
What her performers have to
say, to Virgil Thomson's vigorous.
homespun score, is a fascinating
summary of human experience
The first of the three scenes is
concerned with Birth, of a wom-
ans emergence through fear and
pain into her greatest triumph
Miss De Mile has called her Sec
ond scene Games, and it deals
with the fugitive joys of adoles-
cense which. for all their vitality
and gusto, lead to death, the har-
vest according.
Miss De Miles theme in her
sixth ballet contributed to Ballet
Theater is large, the most chal-
longing ever presented to her
imagination and choreographic
skill. She shapes it brilliantly into
a deeply moving portrait of life
from the viewpoint of woman,
and it is danced with equal elo-
quence by Gemze de Lappe in the
role of the mother and wife.
Lemual Ayers settings and cos
tunes are dramatically in the
spirit of the ballet. Illness forced
several minor changes in last
nights cast of The Harvest
According" one of them Llama
Plant of Washington in a small
role. These, however, in no ap-
parent way affected the per-
formance of company which ex-
pressed in movement what words
so often fail to say.

For all its success with it's
newest and most contemporary
ballet, the company at the Ma

excellence in the classical. This
is a point perfectly made in its
