ton Wednesday, for talks with
party workers before returning to
New York, it was announced to-
day.
The change in plans-the party
was originally scheduled to fly di-
rect from Indianapolis to New

speculation of a possible meeting
between Gen. Eisenhower and
Senator Taft. The official word is
that no such meeting has been
set up.
CThis remark was in conflict

Washington today by Arthur E.

The Washington trip, perhaps
the only one of the campaign, will
be brief. The Generals plane will
land at Washington airport at
Ills Wednesday. He takes off
again for New York at pm. The

White House Admits
CaudIe Gave Truman
Gift Before Custer
Short Says President
Never Condemns Any One
Without All the Facts

The White House today ad-
lmitted that President Truman
received a cigarette case from
Theron Lamar Caudle, a short
time before the former assistant
attorney general was dismissed
from the Justice Department for
activities incompatible with the
duties of his Office"
The gift was revealed yesterday
by a judiciary subcommittee OF
the House which has been investi-
eating the Justice Department.
Mr.. Caudle, who headed the
departments tax division, was
ousted November is by President
Truman in connection with the
tax fraud inquiry by another
House subcommittee.
The later inquiry disclosed that
Mr.. Caudle gave the President an
Italian-made cigarette case and
that Mr.. Truman had acknowl-
edged it October 20 last year.
Short Explains.
White House Press Secretary
Joseph Short said today that
some people have been trying
to make much of the fact" that
the President had requested Mr..
Caudle's resignation shortly be-
fore acknowledging the gift.
Il call your attention to the
fact" he told reporters that it
is not like the President to con-
demr ony one until he has all the
facts before him." He added that
Mr.. Truman had had some in
formal reports on Mr.. Caudle's
reported activities sometime before
he fired the Justice Department
official but that he had not moved
until he was certain of his ground.
A reporter called Mr.. Shorts
attention to the fact that the
President had told a press con-
ference that he was on to Mr.
Caudle for some time before the
tax matter broke and Mr.. Short
agreed that that was correct
that the reports had come to Mr.
Truman's attention and that he
was looking into them.
Note Called Normal.
Mr.. Short also said it was per-
fectly normal for the President
to have made personal acknowl-
edgement of such a gift. He also
stressed that neither Mr.. Truman
nor any member of the family
smokes and he said the cigarette
case was "stuck away some place.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Caudle was
closeted today for a fifth ques-
tion-and-answer session with the
subcommittee. He may testify at
a public hearing later this week.
Representative Keating of New
York, ranking Republican men,

would be decided today.

Adonis and Accardo
Indicted on CONTEMPT
OF Congress Charges
Underworld Chieftuins
Refused to Answer
Kefuuver Probers
By Howard [. Dutkin


A District grand jury today in
dicted two of the Nations under
world chieftains-Joe Adonis and
Anthony j. (Tony) Accardo-on
charges of contempt of Congress.
The charges stemmed from the
refusal of both to answer ques-
tions asked by the Kefauver Crime
Investigating Committee.
Ten counts were, lodged against
AdoniS, who was subpoenaed un-
der his real name of Joseph Doto
and who is reputedly high in the
rackets hierarchy with emphasis
on gambling. His address was
given as Fort Lee, N. j.
Indicted on s Charges.
Accardo, said to be the successor
of AL Capone as the Chicago crime
king, was indicted on eight
charges of contempt. One Of the
questions Adonis is charged with
refusing to answer was:
did you know Virginia Hill?"
(Miss Hill was a friend of gang
ster Benjamin (Bugsie) Siegel
who was slain by gunshot blast
through a window in Miss Hills
Beverly Hills home.)
Other questions involved an
automobile hauling company at
CliffSide Park, N. j.; whether
Adonis maintains bookkeeping
system: whether he ever saw a
Jack Lausky at a Miami resort;
whether he'd never heard of lay
off betting, and other queries
along gambling lines.
Accardo was accused of refus-
ing to answer whether he knew
if it was a matter of common
knowledge in Chicago that James
Ragan was murdered. Ragan,
head of a race news syndicate.
was slain from ambush in Chi
cago in 1946.)
Asked About Candidates.
Other questions to which Ac-
cardo kept silent involved whether
he had been a guest on yacht
CLARA Jo";; what political candi-
dates he has supported; whether
he had ever heard of the Trans
America wire service and whether
he could substantiate his estimate
of personal income.
Adonis was called before the
committee December IL, 1850, and
Accardo appeared January S. 1851.
The jury ignored contempt
charges against Arthur Longano of
Englewood, N. j., who admitted he
had never been in a legitimate
business. Longano testified that
he had been picked up for ques-
tioning in connection with the
SIS million robbery of the Brink
Co. Office in Boston but was later
