One Of the Horned Toads. who

can see those that aren't run

aren't talking are Liable to get

He said he noticed the talk sort

could be overheard by a public

age at its disposal. He thinks
this is because there is a rule
known as Cave Canem's Law that
Danger BefallS the Candidate Who
Speaks Out Too Early.
The candidate wants to wait
till after he is nominated so as
to not offend certain elements of
his party, says the toad. Then
he finds 1t is better to wait until
after election, when he'll be in
a position to speak with author
ity. Then during his term, he
finds that he should be careful
OF the dignity of his Office, so he
waits until he is no longer Pres
ident.
When he's out he feels it would
be a violation Of public trust
to speak out in any free-handed
fashion. So we wait until he is
dead and read his memoirs and
usually find out why he had
nothing to say in the first place,

CHICAGO, July 11.-Regardless
of Gen. Douglas MacArthur's role
in the 1852 presidential race, he's
vastly stronger. in one respect. at
least, than he was four years ago.
In 1948, when the Republicans
were meeting in Philadelphia, the
generals name got just two min
|utes Of applause when it was
placed in nomination.
Early today it got a rip-snorting
35-minute demonstration, which
put him right up in the big three.
Undoubtedly Gen. Macarthur
would have had a longer, louder
reception both times II he'd been
placed in nomination earlier.
In '48 the generals name didn't

almost am. The spectators had
gone home by then and the dele

Gen. Macarthur got in nomina-

will grant no more than one con-
tinuance in each case in her court,

The only exception, she said, will
be in cases where the defending
attorney has another matter at

or where illness is involved. In
such case. she said. the lawyer
should attempt to have another
representative from his Office to

The announcement was a blow

Court Asked 10 Bar
Wire-Tapping Data
By Admitted Gambler
BY the Assoeiofed Press

ANNAPOLIS. Oct. 9.-Martin d
MCGUIRE. admitted Washington
gambler yesterday asked the Court
Of Appeals to strike out wire
tapped evidence used to convict
him of conspiracy to run a num-
bers game.
Police records of telephone con-
|versations between q Baltimore
delicatessen and a fashionable
Washington apartment house were
used against MCGUIRE when he
was convicted in Baltimore Grim
inal Court last year.
Arrested in Apartment.
Mcclure, 80. who lives in Ia
koma Park, had been arrested by
Baltimore police in an apartment
lat 5000 Sixteenth street NV
after police had monitored tele-
phone calls for nearly a week in
June, 1851.
He and Morton j. Hess, who
operated the Baltimore delica-
lessen, were identified as the voices
on each end of tapped conversa-
tions about numbers. Both were
convicted, fined $4,000 and SEN
fenced to 18 months in the House
of Correction. Hess later dropped
his appeal.
Counsel for Mcclure charged
yesterday that listening in on a
private telephone call violated
Federal law. and evidence of what
was said should have been barred
from his trial.
An earlier Appeals Court de-
cision accepting wire-tapped evi-
dence in criminal cases in Mary
land doesn't apply because the
calls laid to MCGUIRE went out of
State, Attorney Eldridge Hood
Young said.
''The Federal Communications
Act of 1884 does expressly prohibit
interstate wire tapping and the
divulging of the conversation" he
added.
Another Contention.
He also contended Baltimore
police had no business going out
of State to arrest him without a
warrant in Washington.
In a statement introduced at
the trial Mcclure said he had
been a gambler since he was IA.
He told former Police 1t. Ralph
H. Amrein. later dismissed for
accepting a loan from a gambling
figure, that he bet on ball games,
fights-"all sporting events"
Amrein testified MCGUIRE said
after he had been picked up in
Washington that he worked as
figure man" for one Ben Rosen-
thai. In that capacity, Amrein
said, he was "the brains, the man
that is good at calculating figures,
adding up and whatnot."
