Mr.. Lane returned to the jury
room and asked that the report
be held up long enough for At
Itorney General McGranery to look
Iat it. The witnesses testified that
the jury refused his request be-
cause it felt there had been toe
much delay, and that the report
might be sidetracked completely
until the jury went out of exist
ence few days later.
Politics Ruled Out.
The witnesses did not charge
that Mr.. Lane sought a delay last
october because of imminence ot
the November elections. They said
he did not mention the elections

mot have been flattering to the ad-

ever, that politics had nothing to
do with it, so far as the jury was
concerned.
After telling the subcommittee
that he believed the Justice De-
Ipartment tried to delay, if not

Jersey City Mayor
Refuses 10 Testify ar
Dock Racket Hearinq
By the Associated Press

NEWARK. N. j., Dec. 90
Mayor John v. Kenny of Jersey
City refused to take the stand
at hearing of the New Jersey
Law Enforcement Council today
over squabble on procedure and
the hearing was adjourned until
January 6.
The council which had called
Mayor Kenny to discuss water
front rackets said it would initiate
immediate steps to seek a con-
tempt order.
His attorney. T. James Tu-
multy. in a sharp exchange with
council officials, protested that
the Mayor should have the right
to object to the form of question
ing. Mr.. Tumulty said he did
not ask permission for cross-ex-
animation. However. he added,
without the right to oppose the
form of queries, Mayor Kenny
would be placed in the position of
refusing 10 answer QueSLlOnS.
Plans Court Steps.
When the councils vice chair
man and counsel, Richard j. Con-
gleton, called the Mayor to the
stand, he did not comply.
Mr.. Congleton then asked and
obtained permission for adjourn
ment until next week so that he
could take the proper steps in
Superior Court for a contempt
order against the Mayor. He had
been called after he declined an
Invitation to appear before the
New York State Crime Commis-
sion. which is investigating water
front crime.
Mr. Tumulty, a former New
Jersey State Assemblyman, had
frequent sharp exchanges with
elderly retired Supreme Court
Justice Clarence E. Case, who pre-
sided at the session as council
chairman.
AS the session got under way a
bulky report on waterfront crime
prepared by Mayor Kenny. was
turned over to the council.
Has List of Witnesses.
Mr. Tumulty, who was one of a
battery of three lawyers accom-
panying the Mayor to the hearing
said abe Mayor also had list of
19 witnesses whom he thinks the
council should subpoena to appear
before the State body.
! Mr.. Kenny's name figured
prominently in testimony before
the commission. Several witnesses
linked him with waterfront hood
lums. Mr.. Kenny, in turn, charged
that the witnesses were POLITICALLY
inspired. The Jersey City cleo
tions come up this spring. in which
Mr. Kenny could be unseated as

There was silence in the

hoped that Mr.. Cox had changed
his mind and landed at Sweet

was a telephone call from Sweet

been fought bitterly by Southern
members of Congress and gen.
orally favored by proponents of
civil rights legislation.
The generals attitude might
have far-reaching effect on his
popularity in the South.
A visit this morning to Eisen-
hover headquarters by Senator
Smith, Republican. of New Jersey
seemed to tie in with reports that
some congressional leaders would
like a stronger hand in the dis
lpensation of patronage.
Senator Smiths interview was
with Herbert Brownell, Gen. Eli
senhoWer's appointee for Attorney
General and the chief dispenser
of patronage in the Eisenhower
Setup.
Senator Smith said they talked
about some of these procedures
I-clearances and so on." He ex-
iplained that he referred to the
process of clearing administration
appointments with the Senators
Iof the various States concerned.
Cleared, With Leaders.
On the same subject, Mr.. Hag-
erty said earlier that appoint
ments are being cleared with
congressional leaders almost as
a matter of course" BY cleared"
he said he meant the appoint
ments we're cleared with the Sem
lators before the appointments
were made.
There are indications that clear
ances and consultations have not
always been the rule with the
generals appointments, and that
congressional leaders are taking
pains to draw the matter to the
attention of top party brass.
| The generals other visitors this
morning included Robert Cutler,
president of the Old Colony Bank
Iof Boston. who accompanied the
general on his campaign train
Iand advised him on financial mat
ters. Mr.. Cutler is not saying
whether he expects an adminis-
tration appointment.
Others who arrived to join Mr..
Cutler and Gen. Eisenhower for
lunch were Paul G.. Hoffman,
president of the Ford Foundation:
Milton Katz, former special United
States representative in Europe
and now associate director of the
Ford Foundation, and John j.
McCloy. former United States
high commissioner in Germany.
Farm Committee Named.
Meanwhile, Gen. Eisenhower
was step nearer fulfillment of
his campaign pledges with the
appointment of 14-man board to
advise his new Secretary of Agri-
culture on farm policy.
Announcement of the board was
made yesterday. Headed by Will
liam I. Myers, 81, dean of the Col
Ilege of Agriculture at Cornell
University, it will be known as the
Interim Agricultural Advisory
Committee.
The members were named after
consultations between Gen. Eisen-
hover and Secretary of Agricul-
tur- designate Ezra T. Benson, the
announcement said.
Carries Out Promise.
The move was looked on here
as a first step toward realization
of promises made in the party
platform to set up a permanent
advisory commission in the new
administration.
The pledge was repeated by
Gen. Eisenhower at Kasson, Mimi,
in September. There he outlined
his farm program as one that
would be "cleansed of politics" and
turned over to operation by real
farmers as distinct from theoreti-
clans and bureaucrats.
Among his proposals was the
establishment of a bipartisan ad-
visory commission Ito view the
policies and administration of our
farm program" The commission,

Police Slated 10 Serve
In IreIan's Division
Take FBI Training
By Charles 6. Brooks

Members of the Metropolitan
Police Force who serve with the
newly established Investigation
Division of the United States At
torney's Office are to receive Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation train
ing. The Star learned today.
An especially picked number of
uniformed officers detailed by
Police Chief Robert v. Murray to
United States Attorney Charles
M. Irelan's Office before the new
unit was created already have
been through intensive FBI
courses, served with the legal
Office and returned to the police
force.
The move is expected to improve
the quality of local detectives and
to deal another strong blow at
the Districts underworld.
Unusual Arrangement.
Off1cials have pointed out that
although it is not unusual for
certain members of any police
force to attend FBI courses. it is
unusual for police department to
assign officers to a United States
Attorneys investigative staff who
are then trained under FBI
agents.
Mr.. Irelan told The Star that
officers trained by the FBI will be
used by his new unit in a contin-
ued breakdown on Washington S
organized crime syndicates. When
the men become known to GRIM
inals as policemen, they will be
returned to the police force for
other duties.
Generally the officers detailed to
Mr.. Irelan'S Office who have re-
ceived FBI training are returned
to the police force as detectives
rather than as uniformed men.
However. Chief Murray pointed
out that such cannot always be
the case because of the impor-
tance of uniformed men patrol
ing beats and also because of the
shortage of police officers.
Agents Praised.
Some officers requested by the
United States Attorneys office
who have been returned to the
force include John McKenna,
now a vice squad detective as
signed to the Thirteenth Precinct,
and David Gould and Thomas
Horigan. both of whom have been
returned to the Detective Bureau.
Thomas E. Walden. head of
the new Investigation Division.
termed the men outstanding and
of Invaluable assistance" to the
prosecution of a number of local
criminals. He also praised Marvin
r. Fullmer, until recently a Fed
eral Bureau of Narcotics agent,
who was assigned directly to the
nucleus of the Investigation Di-
vision. MI. Walden declared that
"a great majority of important
cases were the result of his work
and training"
Mr.. Fullmer was one of several
agents loaned by the Federal
agency to Mr.. Walden to aid in
the special rackets grand jury in
vestigation of the Districts mar
cotics traffic. The grand jury
turned its attention to the dope
trade because of it's vicious nature.
Federal Narcotics Commissioner
Harry J. Anslinger several times
has termed Washington as the
Nations blackest center of illegal
narcotics.
Meanwhile. Chief Murray en-
phasized that there is no conflict
between the United States At
torney's Office and the Police De-
partment. Both he and Mr.. Irelan
have declared that the situation
is entirely different from the days
of Police Chief Robert j. Barrett
and former United States At
torney George Morris Fay, who
were constantly at odds.
