Truman Awaits Visit
BY Eisenhower in
Cool , Formal Mood

A cool, businesslike session was
the order of the day for the meet
ing between President Truman and
President-elect Eisenhower to talk
over the transfer of Government.
While President Truman ini-
tiated the conference because,
aides explain, he felt it his duty
to brief his successor as fully as
possible on the immediate prob
lens that will face him after
January 20, there was nothing at
the White House to indicate that
the tensions of the campaign
have eased.
Mr.. Truman said often during
his whistle-stop drive for Adlai
Stevenson that he was disap-
pointed in the man he once hoped
would come to the White House
as a Democrat. He accused the
e. o. P. candidate of repudiating
policies he had helped to frame.
AS he urged his own cause be-
fore the voters, Gen. Eisenhower
never was backward about stress
ing the necessity of getting the
little men" out of Washington.
Joint Statement Unlikely.
While there has been some in
direct pressure from the outside
to have the conferees issue a joint
statement to promote national
unity, after their meeting, spokes-
men for both the President and
Gen. Eisenhower were inclined to
brush aside the idea.
The Republican President-elect
has made it clear that he is hav-
ing no hand in Government de-
cisionS until the full RESPONSE
bility is his-and White House
sources are letting it be known
that Mr.. Truman is agreeable to
letting it go that way.
One G. o. P. spokesman said
Gen. Eisenhower welcomes the op-
Iportunity for a briefng by Mr..
Truman, but wants no strings tied
to him.
Will Be Ready to Act Quickly.
This spokesman said the Presi-
dent-elect feels that. unless there
is some unexpected development
of Notwithstanding proportions, he
should refrain from even suggest
ing to the soon-to-end Truman
administration any course of ac-
ton on domestic and foreign af-
fairs.
The President-eiect will be
ready to act quickly. this source
said, when he takes office. In this
connection. Republicans looked
toward New York conferences to-
morrow between the general and
G. o. P. congressional leaders as
likely to be decisive in charting
his opening course.
Senator Taft of Ohio said Gen.
Eisenhower will be asked at the
conference to point the way" on
a half-dozen pressing legislative
issues that will confront the new
Congress in January.
He listed them as the budget,
taxes, economic controls, revision
of the Taft-Hartley Act. proposed
social security expansion and the
reciprocal trade agreements pro-
gram.

General Says Rest
Has Been Broken
By Flood of Mail
BY the Assoeioted Press

AUGUSTA, Ga, November 18.
President-elect Eisenhower said
today as he left here that his
rest had not been complete be-
cause of the heavy correspond
ence he had received.
'It has been a great burden"
he said, "but there has been
great determination of our peo-
pie to maintain a keen interest
in governmental affairs"
Gen. Eisenhower added that
he looked forward to his pro-
gram for the next four years re-
ceiving critical and intelligent"
rather than blind support.

Judge Casey had served as usual
at the court yesterday. Friends
said he was in good spirits and

on a vacation, he attended a con-

citation in San Francisco.
Judge Casey's first term of six
years on the bench was followed
by 10-year appointment in 1912
On its expiration last July, he was
renominated for another term by
President Truman. But Congress
adjourned without acting on the
nomination.
Judge Casey was appointed to
the bench by the late President
Roosevelt on July 9. 1885, and be-
gan his service on September 4
of that year.
An outspoken critic of the han
ding of drunk courts" Judge
Casey was to see thousands of
habitual drinkers pass before him
in the next II years.
It also was his lot to cross paths
with Representative Marion A.
Zioncheck of Washington, the
fun-loving lawmaker, early in the
careers of each. Zioncheck kept
the Capital in a furor for nearly a
year before ending his life in a
leap from a Seattle hotel.
Fined Zioncheck for Contempt.

And that wasn't their last meet

That didn't satisfy the
Judge. He ordered Zioncheck
brought in bodily, ignoring the
Representatives. taunt that Judge
Casey is just looking for publicity
This time Zioncheck paid $40

Not all of Judge Casey's "cli-

made him keenly conscious of the

Army and eventually in hospital

would ever be lawyer; and the
future Judge Casey was just as
unaware of the prospects ahead.
Associated With Garfield.
He went overseas for two years
as field clerk with the Army of
Occupation in January. Coming
to Washington in 1921, he became

for the next four years he was
associated in law practice with
Mr.. Garfield.
He was thus engaged in 1885
when, at the age OF 80, he was
given the judgeship nod by Presi-
dent Roosevelt. The nomination
was regarded as surprise in
legal and judicial circles. Judge
Casey was backed heavily by the
late Senator Walsh of Massachu-

Otherwise, the talk at the con-

Observation-Disclosures not. But

are many ways President of the
United States can waste time
away from his job in Washing

Truman-It was a shocking

used "the same kind of innuendo

Speaking for the society-the
British equivalent of a bar asso-

"It might be suggested very
strongly to a wife to overlook it
where a husband had failed on one
occasion with one particular
woman and had freely confessed
it-rather than rush into divorce,
After all, she will be a long time
divorced"
MIR. Harvey offered no comment
on whether a husband should
likewise forgive an errant wife.

For aPriceTo|d
Crime Probe
Witness Accuses
Tommony Worker;
Story Is Denied
BY the AssooIoted Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 18.-An at
torney told State crime probers
today that Tammany Hall dis
trict leader once offered him a
judgeship nomination-for price.
The witness, Frank j. Dufficy.
cited various tigures-up to
$4,000 fee, plus a $4,000 dona-
ton for campaign purposes-as
being mentioned in dickering over
sale of the nomination for New
York Municipal Court justice.
William j. Connolly, the Demo-
cratic district leader named, took
the stand Immediately afterward.
and vigorously denied the story.
The testimony came as New
York's State Crime Commission
pressed its investigation into oper-
ationS of political machines, and
their underworld alliances.
Luchese Not to Be Called.
Meanwhile, the commission de-
cided not to call Thomas CThree-
Finger Brown Luchese, wealthy
former convict and reputed sue
cessor to the imprisoned Frank
Costello as rackets car, to the
public hearing.
Testimony by LucheSe, taken in
closed session. already has been
read at the hearing. In it, he
admitted friendship with a long
list of political leaders and office
holders.
AS a result of the decision not
to summon Luchese again, the ST.
year-old garment manufacturer
dropped court action aimed at
|nullifying the commissions sub
poena.
But Luchese was involved in
another court action today-the
initial step of a possible United
States move to deport him. This
was in Brooklyns Federal Court.
Last week, a former Tammany
district leader said it was almost
common knowledge a few years
ago that candidates had to pay for
nomination to judgeships.
Post Went to Mcnamara.
Mr.. Dufficy, former member OF
Mr.. Connolly's political club, said
today that after he spurned the
offer in 1947, the nomination for
municipal court justice went to
Cornelius Mcnamara, who now
occupies the post.
Shortly after the judgeship des-
Ilgnatlon was made, Mr.. Duficy
said, he noticed Mr.. Connolly had
a new automobile annd remarked.
1T must be nice to be loaded" He
said Mr.. Connolly replied:
"It didn't cost me anything. It
was Mcnamara S money that paid
for that"
Mr.. Dufficy also testified that
Mr. Connolly once remarked. in
reference to State Supreme
Court nomination in 1945, that

were getting too hungry-they
must have demanded 100000 for

He said he had been requested to
make these suggestions.

I'm not going to tell anybody

The Republican leader, who is
to confer with Gen. Eisenhower
along with Representative Martin
of Massachusetts,. who is expected
to be Speaker of the next House,
said he hoped the Republican or
Iganization of the Senate could be
worked out harmoniously. He has
been chairman of the Republican
Policy Committee of the Senate.
Asked if he were seeking the Re-
publican floor leaders job, Senator
Taft replied:

He admitted he would be avail

Organization, chairman of the Re-
publican Conference, chairman Of
the Republican Policy Committee
and Republican floor leader, be in
Ivited to attend the weekly confer
ences with the President at the
White House on legislative pro-
gram and other problems. In the
past floor leaders usually have been
invited regularly, but policy chair
man haven't.
Senator Taft said he did not
expect Gen. Eisenhower to inter-

Franklin D. Roosevelt did to help
