District Gets Report
ION {. Y. Brown School

Figures on the real estate value
Of the old E. v. Brown school,
property will be turned over to
the District Commissioners tomor-
row.
The place is being used as the
Chevy Chase Community Center
Real estate interests want it to
be sold for commercial use. They
argue the District can't afford to
let it go as community center
because Of its potential tax reve-
nues. Such a sale would also
let them commercialize adjoining
areas which are now restricted.
The Chevy Chase Community
Council has maintained that the
tax estimates are unrealistic. The
council had professional apprais-
ers figure out what the old school,
could make in taxes. and that's
the appraisal the Commissioners
will get tomorrow.
The council. and others who
want the center retained, say its
values as a recreation site and
library outweigh whatever value
[it would have as taxable property
The council said today its ap-
Ipraisal figures will give the Com
missioners ammunition in case the
issue comes up again."

Capital Transit.
Vote in March
Ruled Illegal
Group Must Ballot
Again to Choose
Bargaining Agent

The Capital Transit Co. must
hold another election for semi
supervisory employees, because the
company president wrote letter
which prevented a free choice OF
a bargaining agent in an election
March IS. the National Labor Re
lations Board directed today.
The board noted that j. A. B.
Broadwater, company president,
sent the letter to those employees
three days before the March cleo
ton.
In secret balloting the employees
voted 102 to 81 against joining
Division $50. Amalgamated Asso-
citation of Street. Electric Railway
and Motor Coach Employees. AFL
In ruling that the March 13
election was illegal. the board said
the letter pointed to the danger
of reprisal if workers chose to
select a bargaining representative
The board also found that while
some of the letters statements
were 'deplorable." they were pro-
tected under the law. The ruling
followed a protest by the union
which charged coercion and cited
the letter among other objections,
According to the boards an
nouncement, Mr.. Broadwater's
letter stated:
1.-THE company feels so strongly
that you are a supervisor that,
despite the order of the board, you
will be treated as such unless we
are told by the courts that we
cannot continue to do so. Has
it occurred to you that the union
may want to represent you so
that you will not be able to exer-
else supervisory authority and re-
sponsibility? You must be sure
to vote, for a failure to vote is
almost the same as a vote for
the choice you do not want"

Police Wire-Tapping
Averaged 7 a Day,
|Shimon Hearing Told

Police tapped more than 5000
telephone wires-an average of at
least two a day-between 1887
and 1g4l, a police trial board was
told today.
The testimony came during the
boards hearing of overlapping
charges against 1t. Joseph w.
Shimon in a case involving Sen
ator Brewster, Republican, Of
Maine. in 1945.
Eldon F. Rawley, a Bureau of
Internal Revenue attorney and a
policeman for four years preced-
ing early 1941. told the board that
police Listened in on between 5000
and 5000 telephone talks while
he worked for the special investi-
cations squad.
Truscott's Instructions.
Mr.. Hawley said the wire tap
ping was done at the direction
of Inspector Floyd Truscott, now
retired. when the inspector headed
the squad. The cases involved
gambling, prostitution, safecrack-
ing and HOUSEKEEPING.
The Supreme Court ruled sew
eral years ago that wiretapping,
as such, by police was not illegal.
1t held. however. that information
obtained in that manner could not
legally be divulged to the public
or unauthorized persons and that
1t could not be admitted in evil
dence in court trials.
In the 1905 there was no final
pronouncement on legality of in
tercepting telephone talks, al
though some Supreme Court JUS
tices and other judges criticized
the practice.
Case Reopened.
Mr.. Hawley gave his testimony
as the defense opened its case
following a recess of more than a
month and a half. There were
indications that efforts would be
made to bare grand jury records
in the Shimon case. The grand
jury heard the case but made no
report.
Specifically, the lieutenant is
accused of lying to his superiors
and to a Senate wire tapping
subcommittee about his activities
in that field.
Assistant United States At
torney William HAITI. called by the
defense. refused to submit the
grand jury records without a court
order. James w. Knapp, a JUS
tice Department attorney, also
refused to talk about what went
on in the grand jury room.
Robert Lynch, 1t. Simmons at
torney, revealed that he plans to
cali Abner w. Lapin, mentioned
as q private detective who
Swallowed Senator Brewster during
war contract hearings in I945. 1t.
Shimon entered the case when he
was hired by the Senator to
shadow Mr.. Lapin.
