Defendant Sues Judge
Charges Prejudice
By the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Nov. 19.-Leon
James of Washington yesterday
filed a 100000 damage suit in
Federal Court against Chief Fed
eral Judge William C. Coleman
accusing the judge of showing Gin
grained bias and prejudice
toward his two Washington law
yers.
James, who is colored, is under
indictment here on a narcotics
charge. He presently is on trial
in Washington in a narcotics con-
spiracy case.
The suit contends that Judge
Coleman intimidated a local law
yer engaged by his two Washing
ton counsel, James j. Laughlin
and Albert j. Ahern. jr.. so much
that he frightened the Baltimore
attorney into withdrawing from
the case.
James said that before his ar
raignment here October 81 the
unnamed Baltimore lawyer was
called into Judge Coleman's cham
bers and told he would "get into
trouble" and it wouldn't be
healthy" if he became associated
with the two Washington attor-
neyS.
The suit also said that last year
Mr.. Laughlin filed impeachment
action against Judge Coleman
with the House of Representatives
because he became so angered he
could not give any client of Mr..
Laughlin's a fair trial.
It also added that Judge w.
Calvin Chestnut. the other Federal
judge in Maryland, would be
called as a witness in the damage

Court Hearing SET
On Move 10 Enjoin
D.. T.. on Milk Ban

The Embassy Dairy, Inc, has
asked the U. S. District Court for
the District of Columbia to rule
invalid District milk regulations
requiring that all milk imported
into Washington must come from
farms inspected by the District
Health Department.
In a petition for an injunction,
filed yesterday, the dairy asserted
that the milk it receives from its
Queenstown (Md.) dairy affiliate
is approved by the United States
Public Health Service, licensed by
the State of Maryland and is of a
higher standard than District reg
ulations demand.
Last Thursday, the Commits
sioners refused to extend relaxa-
ton of the order that had per-
mitted the dairy and other local
professors to continue to import
milk and cream from sources not
inspected by the District.
Hearing Set Next Week.
Judge Luther w. Youngdahl or
dered the District to answer the
complaint by Monday and set a
hearing for next Wednesday.
The Embassy Dairy, at 1920
First street NV. maintains that
the Districts action would cut off
much of its supply of milk and
would seriously damage its 81
million business.
The motion, filed by Attorneys
Robert E. Lynch and Nicholas j.
Chase, points out that before 1912
the farms of milk producers Ship
ping milk and cream into the
District for sale throughout the
Metropolitan Area were inspected
by District Health Department
agents
However. in 1912 the Commits
sioners permitted all local pro-
cessors to receive milk from out
side the District if the producers
or plants were inspected and ap-
proved by health authorities of
the State in which they were To-
Gated. The action was a war
measure, intended to increase
Washington's milk supply.
Relaxation Held Illegal.
In 1850, at the insistence of
the Maryland and Virginia Milk
Producers Association, which sup
plies from IS to 80 per cent Of
the areas milk, the Commission
ers held hearings. which resulted
In a legal opinion by the Cor
poration Counsel that the relax
alton was illegal.
The importation of State-in-
spected milk was ordered discon-
tinued.

SO Acres Rezoned

! A 6.8-acre tract between West

The council granted molly a part

that the industrial tract will have
250-foot frontage along the rail-
road tracks.
In another action yesterday the
council denied an application for
rezoning from residential to COM
mercial of a lot at Bonifant and
Fenton streets in Silver Spring.
Although within the commercial
zoning plan for the Silver Spring
business district, the council said
there was insufficient need at this
time for additional commercial
zoning to extend it into an estab-
lished residential area.
/ The lot is two blocks from COM
mercial property on the north and
one block on the south. Council
man Harold Hammond voted to
grant the application.
Bethesda Rezoning Granted.
Rezoning from Residential A to
apartment house use of five lots on
wellington drive at Strathmore
street. Bethesda, also was approved
by the council. The tract lies in
an area recommended for multi

CROSS
BROTHER
BEATEN
Warming To Gambler
To Halt Testimony
About Paving Graft
To \. Y. Policemen

NEW YORK P-Two men beat
I'D the younger brother of Bo0kie
Harry Gross Friday night as a
warning to the gambler to halt
his testimony about paying graft
to New York policemen.
A city official revealed today the
men set upon Jackie Gross, about
"a years old. on West 10Th Street.
Manhattan, and told him to take
it as "a warning to your brother. "
He was not seriously hurt. A
police guard was given him i'm
mediately.
The older Gross shocked po-
lice departmental trial this week
by declaring he had paid cash to
the three highest police depart
ment officials, since retired, to
protect his 20 million dollar year
bookmaking racket.
He also named more than 100
lesser policemen as being on his
payroll and said he had access
to police department records.
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Victor j. Herwitz revealed the
beating of Jackie Gross. H said
the young man called him after
the assault. Herwitz and young
Gross both conferred later with
Police Commissioner George P.
Monaghan.
The older Gross is testifying at
the departmental trial of five po-
lice officers in an effort to get a
reduction of 12-year prison SEN
tence for hoOkmaking.
He wrecked an earlier trial by
suddenly refusing to testify after
taking the witness stand. But after
spending some time in prison he
offered to talk in a bid for free
dom.
Gross testified Friday he had
named the three high officials pre-
viouSly in testimony before a grand
jury and expressed wonder they
had not been indicted.
He asked whether favoritiSm
were being shown.
This drew an angry retort from
the Brooklyn prosecutor who broke
l.p Gross bOokmaking empire that
he mere naming of a man by
Gross without corroborating evi-
dence was insufficient to indict.
