Polite Bank Teller
Identifies King and
Sutton in Holdup
BY the Assoeiosed Pres.

NEW YORK, Mar. 24.-A po-
lite bank teller testified today that
mfr. Killing" stole $4,000 from
him at gunpoint and mfr. Sutton
requested 10 minutes" delay be-
fore any one tried to follow him.
He was referring to Willie (The
Actor Sutton and Th ON q S
(Scup) Killing. on trial in Queens
County court for the $64, 900
holdup of the Sunnyside branch
of the Manufacturers Trust Co.,
two years ago.
Sutton and King were calmly
identified from the witness chair
by Head Teller James Brady, who
also said the third man in the
daring morning holdup was John
DeVenuta. DeVenuta, who turned
states evidence, was not in the
courtroom.
Sutton blinked in surprise when
Mr.. Brady pointed him out as
that gentleman sitting there"
Forced to open Can"
Mr.. Brady explained that he
was taken to the bank vault and
forced to open his teller's "cash
can" by Killing. He said Killing
scooped more than $4,000 out of
his cash box, holding both a gun
and a bag for the loot in the
other hand.
Nearly $4,000 was taken from
various teller's boxes in the bank,
but Mr.. Brady only testified about
the opening Of his own.
Mr.. Brady said that when he
ARRIVED at the bank about 8:45
am. on March 9, 1850, he got a
glimpse of a man on a radiator
just inside the door (the prosecu-
ton claims this man was Sutton)
and was greeted by DeVenuta
who said. "Come in, your friends
are waiting for YOU"
Certain ON DeVenuta.
Earlier, Theodore Sands, as
sistant bank manager, under re-
direct examination, said that he
is now positive that DeVenuta
was one of the three holdup men
On Saturday Mr.. Sands testified
that he was not positive of De-
IVenuta's identity, although he
said the third holdup man looked
like DeVenuta.
Assistant District Attorney
James McGrattan asked, "are you
prepared to say with certainty
that DeVenuta was the third

firmly.
Because of extraordinary Sc
curity precautions, the all-male
jury was locked up over the week
end at the Roosevelt Hotel in

The safety measures, including
a heavy police guard at the trial,
were ordered because of the March

$86, 900 in planning money for the
training school was a good place
to begin a revived children's CEN
ter plan, followed by an appro-
priation for funds to house the
Industrial Home School staff
when that institution is moved to
Laurel.
"The primary thing" she added,
"is that we recognize at once that
we must establish a definite time
schedule for accomplishment of
the plan. The longer we wait, the
more money it's going to cost us
both in dollars and broken lives

Increased Birth Rate Cited.
Welfare Director Gerard M.
Shea called The Star article "the
most complete, objective and ac-
curate portrayal of the needs of
our children's institutions that has
ever been presented" He said
it served a real purpose by pro-
viding the public with the COM
plete story.
Mr.. Shea pointed out that dur
ing the past decade, the birth rate
in the District has increased 2h
per cent. The resultant increase
in child population, he said, makes
it increasingly more urgent that
these new buildings not be further
delayed.
''The board has long been
struggling to improve these in
adequate facilities" he went on.

A move by the Senate judiciary
Committee headed by Senator
McCarran, Democrat, Of Nevada,
to deny subpoena powers to New
bold Morris was due to come be-
fore the Senate today. but indica-
tionS were that its immediate con-
Sideration would be blocked.

In q committee bill. listed on the
consent calendar, which is in the
form Of . substitute for o measure
containing President Truman's re-
quest Of subpoena powers for the
Government anti-corruption in
veStigator. However, objection by
one member is sufficient to side
track consideration items on the
Senate calendar.
The Senate committee post
poned q scheduled meeting today
because Of lack Of a quorum. It
had been expected that the group
today would take up the question
OF whether to call Mr.. Morris for
the inside story" on his appoint
ment to the cleanup post.
House Group Deadlocked.
Meanwhile. House judiciary
subcommittee postponed until to-
morrow its consideration Of the
bill to give MIR. Morris subpoena
powers. Chairman Celler. Demo-
crat. of New York said he would
fight for the White House request,
but the subcommittee remained
deadlocked after q lengthy discus
sion last week.
The substitute bill approved by
the Senate committee would au-
thorize the President to nominate
a new cleanup man who would
have subpoena powers, but whose
appointment would be subject to
confirmation by the Senate.
The appointment Of Mr.. Morris,
who already has begun his in
veStigation. is not subject to q
vote. Of Senate approval.
Quiz on Appointment.
It is about the appointment,
however, that Senator McCarran
said he wanted to question the
New York attorney. The Senator
said his committee has received
many reports that Morris was
chosen by (Attorney GeneraD
McGrath and Peyton Ford (for-
mer chief Assistant Attorney Gen
eraD, and that the President
appointed him on their recon-
mendation."
In New York, Mr.. Morris said
he also was interested personally
in knowing how he got the job.
He told reporters:
II hope that, perhaps through
Senator McCarran'S committee, I
will find out who recommended
me to the President. But that is
only a matter Of personal inter-
est, I did not seek this appoint
ment. When the President asks
you to perform a public service,
