The New York Giants were
white hot in exhibitions, but ap-

the records for straight defeats in
the first couple of weeks Of cham

That they ultimately won the

would have won it much easier

journed Queens County court Vn-
til Monday morning when summa-
tons will begin. Judge Farrell
hopes to make his charge to the
all-male jury Immediately after
ward and expects the case to be in
the hands of the jurors tonight.
Meanwhile, the jurors will re-
main locked up in the Roosevelt
Hotel in Manhattan over the week
end, just as they have been since
they were sworn in on March 20.
The trial was highlighted on the
opening day by the failure Of Ga
year-old James Weston, keeper of
the vault Of the Sunnyside Branch
Bank Of the Manufacturers Trust
Company, to positively identify
Sutton and King.
Weston, obviously nervous, said
he could not be sure of the identi-
fication but other witnesses were
more positive.

A second highlight was the tes-
timony of John De Venuta who
confessed that he was the third
member Of the gang which staged
the $63,942 stickup of the bank
on March 9, 1850.
De Venuta, who was granted a
separate trial, identified Sutton
and King as his accomplices and
said that Willie The Actor" was
the ringleader.
Failure of Sutton to testify oc-
casioned considerable surprise be-
cause Herr less than "a hours
earlier indicated he would call the
notorious robber and jail-breaker
to the stand.
Instead, Herr called two minor
witnesses and tried to raise a doubt
in the Jurors minds Of the validi-
ty of the identifications of SUIT
ton which prosecution witnesses
had made.

Sutton Case to
Jury Today

NEW YORK, March 81 (INS)
The bank robbery case of Willie
Sutton and Thomas (Scup) King
goes to a jury today in an atmos-
phere of general disappointment
that the "star" ofthe proceedings,
Willie The Actor" failed to testi-
fly.
Sutton was relegated to little
mor than a spectator role when
his attorney, George w. Herr, sud-
denly announced yesterday that
the Sutton defense crested" after

No witnesses at all were called

FAIR or FOUL
By LAYTON CARVER

By LAYTON CARVER

NEW YORK, March 81 (INS)
The spring exhibition season has
grown through the years to APPOINT
where it is almost as important to
baseball as the championship race
itself. There is money in those
grapefruit contests.
Conditioning of the athletes and
the separation Of disable sheep
from unwanted goats r the
prime purposes of pitching camps
in Florida, California, and Arizo-
ma.
But it must have been Larry
MacPhail, now a Mr.. Big in Mary
land racing, who really turned the
exhibitions into negotiable by-pro-
ducts.
The thing has grown to a point
where a twi-night double-header
between the Brooklyn Dodgers
and st. Louis Cardinals at Miami
was averted Saturday only because
too many Dodgers were hurt for
twin-bill action.
What possible purpose a twi-
night double bill could serve, ex-
cept to bring in some money for
spring training expenses, is not
clear. So let it go that what the
clubs had in mind was a good pay
day.
From a standpoint of training
such an arrangement would be
hazardous. Players not yet in top
condition probably r not ready
for such a schedule. Moreover,
night games in the spring a con-
tribute to sore arms and other all
ments traceable to cold and damp
weather.
The American League scheduled
238 such games starting March 8
and continuing until the start of
the season.
Break this down and it works
out to an average of "a games per
club, which provide for an apprais-
al Of the assembled talent and, in
cidentally, a healthy take at the
gate.
Beyond that, these games, played
under what amounts almost to
championship pressure, gives a fell
low that tired feeling even before
the whistle blows for him to go to
work at the start of the season.
There is considerable travelling
involved, some of the diamonds are
not in top shape and players are
inclined to try too hard too soon.
Some observers have insisted
that clubs would be in b~ettershape
if they played only a few exhibit
ton games against other clubs
near the end of the training per-
iod, devoting earlier activities to
more or less casual intra-club COM
petition.
But there is no money in that,
besides which there are advocates

Committee Opposes
Building Code Change

The committee of 100 on the
Federal City yesterday voted op-
position to a proposed change in
zoning regulations that would
permit construction of additional
floors in buildings.
The height of buildings is re-
Istricted here. The number of
floors in any building also is
limited. The proposed change
would not alter the overall build
ing height but would allow an ad-
|ditional floor to be squeezed in by
using lower ceilings.
G. Melvin Sharpe, chairman
of the committee, said an interim
report on the proposed highway
plan for Washington also was
received from Maj. Gen. U. S.
Grant, III. An official report from
"a special subcommittee will be
made later, he added.
Gen. Grant, in his interim re-
port, said the highway plan con-
ficted in many ways with overall
plans of the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
He particularly opposed construc-
ton of a bridge across the Po-
tomac River which would use
Roosevelt Island as a base for the
center span.

Polish Officer Tells
OF Bribe Offer if He
Altered Katyn Report
BY the Associoted Press

FRANKFURT, Germany, April
PA former Polish officer testi-
fed today that Polish Communists
tried to bribe him into accusing
Germans of the Katyn massacre
of 4,500 Polish officers.
But. Wladyslaw Kawecki told
a United States congressional
committee that he was convinced
the Russians committed the
atrocity and he refused the bribe
KaWecki said he was member
of a Polish commission sent to
identify the officers bodies found
in mass graves in 1943 in the
Katyn Forest. near Smolensk,
Russia.
From what I saw and heard
there / came to the conclusion
that the murderers of these off,
GERS at Katyn were the Bolshe-
viSts," Kawrecki testified.
Inspection Made i'm 1943.
KaWecki said Russians living ir
that area told him that thousands
Iof Polish war prisoners were
brought by Red army troops into
the Katyn Forest in the spring ot
1910 and never came out.
Nazi Germany accused Russia
of the massacre but Russia coun.
tered with a charge that the Ger.
mans themselves slaughtered the
Poles after invading the Katyr
area in ,1941.
Kawecki's commission made its
inspection in April and May, 1943
and went on record at that time
accusing the Russians.
KaWecki said he was approached
in Italy in 1947 by a representa-
tive OF the Communist Polish gov
ernment who asked him to re-
pudiate his 1943 conclusion and
to sign a statement fixing the
blame on the Germans.
This man laid on the table a
package of American dollars
there must have been about
2,O00," Kawecki related. But
latter reading his prepared state
ment which was all contrary to
the truth I refused to sign"
Names Man i'm Bribe Charge.
Kawecki told his story after
Representative Machrowicz, Dem
ocrat. of Michigan pointed out
that the Communists recently
quoted DR.. Adam Szebesta, former
head of the Polish Red Cross. as
repudiating his 1943 statement
and asked Kawecki if he had been
asked to do the same.
Kawecki insisted that Szebesta
in 1943 shared his opinion that
the Russians were responsible de-
spite his recent statement to the
contrary.
Kawecki named the man who
tried to bribe him as Alex Dovro-
wolsky. He said he identified
himself as the adjutant of the
Polish military attache in Rome
Kawecki said that on one trip
to Katyn in 1943 he met 1t. Col
John Van Vliet, jr., an American
officer who. while a prisoner OF
war of the Germans, was taken
under guard to Katyn as a witness
| Van Vliet later made a secret
report on the Katyn massacre
which has since disappeared mys-
teriously from United States
Army files.

Marie Antoinette's Gems, Sunk
In 1870, Hunted by Divers

PARIS, April 24-(NANA-Kem-
news "A few miles from where
tourists will be landing on the
Channel coast of France this
summer divers will be seeking a
fabulous treasure in jewels, gold,
and silver which a king and queen
once tried to smuggle to Britain.
The treasure is said to be worth
more than $2,800,OOO at today's
values. including one diamond
necklace alone estimated at $780,
600.
1t was the private fortune of
Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI,
and, according to evidence
checked by French historians, it
has been lying in the mud off
Quillebeuf, fishing village 20
miles from LIE Havre, at the
mouth of the Seine, for 1862 years.
Here, at midnight, on New
Years Day 1870, the French frig-
ate Telemaque, wooden ship of
the line, was awaiting high tide
to Slip across the Channel. The
revolution was moving toward its
most terrible phase.
Blood was flowing, and the
shadow of the guillotine rose
across the country. Louis XVI
and his queen were virtual pris-
oners of the revolutionary mob
in Paris, but still thought they
had a chance of escape,
When local revolutionary lead
ers came on board the Telemaque
at Quillebeuf. Capt. Adrien Que
min told them that he was carry
ing a cargo of timber and barrels
of tar" He persuaded the "citi-
zenS" not to search the ship, and
prepared to sail: but, in a sudden
storm, the Telemaque broke from
her moorings, drifted out of con-
troll. and sank.
Quemin and his crew swan
ashore to safety, and the captain
returned to Paris to tell his friends
that revolutionary agents had
sabotaged the vessel because they
knew the secret of the treasure.
Since then it has been proved
that there is treasure on the spot
where the Telemaque lies. At one
time an English engineer, John
Taylor, attempted to spot the bar
rels Of gold and jewels, but had
to give up after several. months
work.
just before World War II, gold
trinkets, coans, pieces of jewelry.

and a silver chandelier were
brought up from the wreck but
the strong tide stopped salvage
work before more could be found.
These objects are in the possess
sion OF the French government,
and are kept at Rouen.
This summer, expert divers with
modern equipment, including a
lO0-ton diving bell, will go down
again. If they find Louis XVI's
treasure, it will become the prop
erty Of the French Republic.
