Shimon 10 Stay
On Duty Until
Trial Board Acts
Maj. Murrey Chorge.
False Statements in
Wire-Topping Case

Police 1t. Joseph W.. Shimon
will remain on active duty until
he faces a trial board of civilians
on five charges May q, Police
Supt. Robert v. Murray said to-
day.
Maj. Murray said 1t. Shimon
will not be suspended. Pointing
out that wire-tap charges against
1t. Shimon have been pending
since 1949. the police chief said a
few more weeks won't change the
facts. He also pointed out that
these facts already have been re-
viewed by a grand jury, Senate
subcommittee and the corpora
tion counsel.
The charges against 1t. Shi-
mon were made public yesterday,
shortly after they were sent to-
him. He is accused of making
false statements to Senate Dis
trict subcommittee and his supe-
rior officers concerning his wire
tapping activities. He is also ac-
cused of breaking the law and
violoting police regulations.
Based on 14-MOnth Study.
Maj. Murray brought the
charges against 1t. Shimon. They
were based on a 14-month study
of the Shimon case by Assistant
Corporation Counsel Henry Wix-
on. When the case goes before
the civilian trial board, Mr.. Wix-
on will prosecute.
The law 1t. Shimon is accused
of violating is the one banning
unauthorized wire tapping and
divulging the conversation. 1t.
Shimon was charged with order
ing policemen under him in the
United States Attorneys Office to
listen in on calls and tell him what
they heard. 1t was explained that,
under another law, any one who
assists in violating the law is also
q principal.
Mr.. Wixon's report on the case
reviews the testimony 1t. Shimon
gave before the Senate District
subcommittee in 1850, plus a po-
lice investigation made earlier by
then Capt. Murray and Inspector
Robert S. Bryant. After that in
vestigation, Inspector Bryant and
Capt. Murray recommended trial
board action, but Robert j. Bar
rett, who was then superintendent,
put it off.
Barrett Asked for Help.
Last year, after the Senate group
called for trial board action, Maj.
Barrett asked for help from the
Corporation Counsels Office. Mr..
Wixon's report went to Maj. Muir
ray late last month.
The Wixon report was chan
neled through the Commissioners.
Asked today if it would be made
public, Commissioner F. Joseph
Donohue said it goes into more
detail than the 81 Specifications
listed by Maj. Murray and prob
ably will be used in the trial. For
those reasons, he said, it could not
be made public at this time.
The Second Precinct officer will
be tried by three attorneys. They
are Albert E. Steinem, chairman;
II. Clay ESpey and Lou Urow.

HOT SPRINGS, Va, May 10
Leading induStrialists, meeting
here to advise Secretary of Com
merce Sawyer on economic policy.
foreSee no business bust ahead as
the country tapers of its mobili-
Zation
Most OF Mr.. Sawyer's Business
Advisory Council, meeting with
the Secretary in closed session at
the Homestead Hotel yesterday
urged abandonment of price and
wage controls on June 30.
Mr.. Sawyer told reporters the
businessmen found customers
wary, production capacity greatly
expanded, the buyers market re-
viving. and sales competition TAX
ing care Of most prices.
Without exception, the corpora
ton heads disagreed with recent
predictions that the economy will

spending, expected to reach $50
billion annually in the next two
years, is cut back.
Council Members Optimistic.
None of the council members
are fearful for the economy" MIR.
Sawyer said. "All believe we'll
work out of our present prob
lemS."
Most members, it was learned,
are convinced that defense spend
ing will continue at high level
somewhere in the neighborhood
of $45 billion a year-through
1855 and for several years, at
least, thereafter. .lr.
This is higher than the present
rate. although spending will ex-
ceed that figure when the re-
armament hits full stride later
this year.
There would, in such circum-
stances, be no sudden shrinkage
of Federal spending to curtail
purchasing power. Earlier in the
defense program it was expected
the "tapering-off" level would he
around $25 billion year.
Back Economy in Government.
The businessmen, Mr.. Sawyer
said, expressed themselves strong
ly in favor of greater efforts at
economy in the Government.
They feel it must be applied to
all Federal activities, including
military and foreign aid"
Topping the agenda of today's
closed sessions was a discussion
of wage control.
Though council members de-
Iplored President Truman's seizure
of the steel industry. no criticism
was heard of Secretary Sawyer's
management of the seized plants
under presidential order.
Several concurred, however. in
the opinion of Charles E. Wilson.
a council member and the former
| director of defense mobilization.
that the Governments wage pol
icy as demonstrated in the steel
crisis has ended effective wage
control. Businessmen generally
regard the stabilization program.

Fight Today
6. 0. P. Hos Delegate
Fight in 2 Districts;
Democrats Also Meet
BY the Asseeiotsd Press

Virginia politicians met in four
conventions today-the
Democrats to nominate two can
didates for Congress and the Re-
to elect four additional
to the party's national
AS far as the Democratic con-
greSsional nominations were con-
cerned, it was a sealed matter.
Both Representative Thomas B.
Stanley and Representative How
ard w. Smith were assured of re-
nomination in the 5th and 9Th
respectively.
Neither had any opposition as
the 5th met at Danville and the
9th at Fredericksburg.
G. o. p. Interest Keen.
It was a different story, how
ever, on the Republican side,
where interest has been height
ened by the fight between Eisen-
hover and Taft forces for presi-
Dental delegates.
It was uncertain which would
win out in today's G. o. p. district
conventions in Portsmouth and
Culpeper. OF the six Republican
delegates already chosen in Vir-
ginia, Senator Taft of Ohio is
claiming all. The Associated
Press tabulation, however, gives
four to Senator Taft and two un-
committed.
At Portsmouth, where the Sec
ond district Republicans met,
there appeared a possibility that
Gen. Eisenhower might pick up his
first delegates in the State.
Lester S. Parsons, chairman Of
the district G. o. P. Committee,
and Walter E. Hoffman, unsuc-
cessful Republican congressional
candidate in 1948. were reported
have a slight edge among those
mentioned as possible delegates.
Both have said they are leaning
toward Gen. Eisenhower.
Opposition Seen Sure.
Mr.. Parsons and MIR. Hoffman
were sure to draw opposition in
their bid for delegate roles. A
Taft campaign representative
came to Norfolk last week and
has been striving vigorously to line
up opponents.
In the 9Th district meeting al

In the science department, con-

The main purpose of dissection
TO familiarize the students with a
basic knowledge as to the function
and make up Of the human body
That is TO say in examining the
parts OF another animals body we
are able to compare these parts
with our own. This helps us to
understand more about the rela-
tionship these organs have with
the corresponding organs Of our
bodies.
With this as a basis, the biology
students have purchased three
dissecting kits. so that each stu.
dent, or group Of students, can
use his or her own kit, and do his
or her own exploration. Previous.
ly most Of the dissections were
being done by the same group,
but We feel that with each stu.
dent participating, much more
progress will be accomplished, and
much more knowledge will be
gained in helping the student TO
realize the importance Of his OF
