U. 5. Weighs New
Trial Of Nelson After
High Court Rebuff

The question of whether the
Government will renew it's prose-
cution of Charles E. Nelson and
others on gambling conspiracy
charges apparently had not been
decided today.
The Justice Department was
expected to determine what
course to pursue in the big
numbers racket case, in light of
the Supreme Courts refusal to
review a decision handed down
last July by the Court of Appeals.
The July decision was favor
able to Nelson and 10 codefend-
ants. The Appeals Court re-
versed their conviction in Dis
trict Court and ordered new
trial for them. BY a 2-to-1
vote, the appellate judges ruled
that the trial court erred in adj
hitting some of Nelson's per-
scnal records as evidence. The
judges said his constitutional
rights had been violated.
New Trial Ruling Holds.
The Government then sought
a review of the case by the Su-
preme Court. But the high tri-
bunal turned thumbs down yes
terday. That left the Court of
Appeals decision in effect. 1t
called for a new trial.
Since the Government cannot
now introduce the personal rec
ords of Nelson-records on his
gambling operation, prosecution
must decide whether they have
sufficient evidence to go ahead
with another trial.
Nelson's first defense lawyer
was Leo A. Rover, who now is
the United States Attorney
charged with prosecuting gam
bling cases. Mr.. Rover repre-
sented Nelson for only a short
time, however. He did not par
ticipate in the trial last year.
AS United States Attorney,
Mr.. Rover declined to make the
decision whether the Govern
ment should carry the Nelson
case to the Supreme Court. He
asked the Justice Department
to decide, and the department
took an appeal.
Mr.. Rover is i'll at his home
and could not be reached for
comment. Associates said, how
ever, it is reasonable to assume
the Justice Department will
either decide to go through with
a second trial or move for dis
missal of the charges.
Paid Maryland Fines.
Only a few weeks ago, Nelson,
his wife and five other persons
pleaded guilty to gambling con-
spiracy charges in Prince Georges
County. These were based on a
part of the numbers operation
that included Washington. The
seven defendants paid fines of
$4,000 each in Princes Georges.
Six of them drew suspended
three-year sentences.
In Calvert County also, the
Nelson's and two other defendants
pleaded guilty to gambling
charges. They paid a total of
$1,000 in fines there.

any civilian employe of the Army
who refuses to answer questions
on communism before the Nc
Carthy subcommittee will be
summary suspended"
Both of today's witnesses be-
fore the subcommittee, Senator
Mccarthy said, pleaded the Fifth
Amendment in refusing to say
whether they were members of
the Communist Party while
working at Fort Monmouth and
other Federal agencies.
May Explain Inquiry.
One of them, Senator Nc
earthly added, refused on grounds
of possible standardization to
say whether he had engaged in
espionage or had associated in
the last two months with known
spies. A witness yesterday like
wise refused to answer similar
questions for the same reason.
AS the hearings continued,
Senator Mccarthy indicated that
the subcommittee investigation
might be expanded to include all
Signal Corps installations and
laboratories.
He added that the matter in
volved "the major part of our
defenses against an atomic at
tack" For that reason he in
dicated the investigation by his
Senate subcommittee would be
extended to all installations and
laboratories, private as well as
military, engaged in research in
electronics for the Army Signal
Corps.
One Balks at Testifying.
None of the names of yester-
days five witnesses was dis
closed but Senator Mccarthy
told reporters that the one who
invoked the protection of the
Fifth Amendment refused to tes-
tify on whether he had ever
turned oyer radar secrets to the
Communists.
The witness also refused to
answer. Senator Mccarthy add
ed, when asked if he had turned
over military secrets to Julius
Rosenberg, executed atomic spy
or to Martin Sobell, another
member of the atomic spy ring
now serving a 3O-year prison
sentence.
With at least 100 witnesses
already interviewed by the SUBJ
committee staff, Senator McCar-
thy said the investigation was
taking on such a scope that it
would be difficult to say when
public hearings will be held. HI
added public hearings will be
started as soon as possible, some
here and probably some in Wash
ington.
IF present indications are
borne out" Senator Mccarthy
added. this is espionage that is
current now and running back
for several years"
He added, however, that it
was not necessarily wartime es-
pionage.

Benson Tells Details
Of Reorganization
In Farm Programs
By james E. Roper

Secretary of Agriculture Ben
son today announced a program
to reorganize the Agriculture De-
partment with more emphasis
on marketing and some reduc-
ton in personnel.
Secretary Benson said the re-
organization was intended pri-
marily to give better service to
farmers.
This will be done, he said,
through greater efficiency and
will allow 'some" reductions in
personnel here and in the field.
He could not estimate the saw
ings in manpower or dollars that
might result.
Seven regional Offices of the
Soil Conservation Service are to
be eliminated. State Offices will
take over most of their work
and report directly to Washing
ton instead of through the re-
gional offices. The National As
ISOLATION of Soil Conservation
Ditricts yesterday protested this
plan and is still arguing to head
OH the change.
PIMA Also Abolished.
The reorganization abolishes
the Sprawling Production and
Marketing Administration and
the Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nomics. and transfers their func-
tions to other units in the de-
partment.
The reorganization creates a
new Agricultural Marketing
Service, which will take over
the marketing, research and
service functions OF the PIMA
and BAE.
The plan also creates a Com
modify Sterilization Service
which will supervise acreage al
iotments and marketing quotas
formerly handled by PMA-and
the price-support apparatus for
merly run by the Commodity
Credit Corp.
Allows Time for Protests.
Secretary Benson said he will
not put any of the changes int
erect until at least November l
rms, he said, will allow time for
interested parties to protest
After November /, the DEPART
ment will be free to start the
changes, which may require six
weeks to two months to effect.
This reorganization stream
lines the department for better
service to farm families and fol
slmplif1ed internal organization.
Secretary Benson told a news
conference. 1.-THE Department OF
Agriculture as reorganized is
designed to meet present-day
conditions, particularly in its
emphasis on marketing"
Today'S reorganization goes
into greater detail than a pre-
liminary Shakeup which Secre-
tary Benson made soon after he
took Office.
Assistant Secretary of Agri-
culture Coke said the depart
ment so far has not dismissed
any one or sent out any reduc-
tion-in-force notices as a result
OF the reorganization.
0. V. Wells, head of the junked
Bureau of Agricultural Econom-
les, becomes boss of the Agricul-
tural Marketing Service within
a Division of Marketing and For
eign Agriculture. Howard H
Gordon, head of the about-to-be-
abolished Production and Mar
keting Administration, stays as
head Of a new Commodity Sta
bilization Service in a Division
Of Agricultural Sterilization.
The assistant secretaries, too
remain. Mr.. Coke heads a Di-
vision of Federal-State Rela-
tons, and Assistant Secretary
John H. Davis heads the Divi-
sion of Marketing and Foreign
Agriculture. Another assistant
Secretaryship-for a Division OF
Agricultural Sterilization re
mains vacant.

Due Today on D. E.
Taxicab Limitation

/ The limitation of the number
! of taxicabs in Washington was
to be recommended today to the
18th annual convention of the
American Taxicab Association.
The issue was to have been
considered yesterday by the
group meeting at the Shoreham
Hotel. But Representative Small,
Republican. of Maryland. lunch

discuss national problems in
stead of the District taxicab lin
| itation. So action went over until
| today.

Public Utilities Commission to
limit the number of cabs in
Washington is pending before
both the House and Senate Dis
trict Committees. MI. Small
sponsored the measure in the
House.
The convention will close
after an all-day session today.
Among the problems to be dis
cussed will be the effect of taxes
on various methods of taxicab
operation. The discussion will
be led by jeremiah Courtney of
Washington, general counsel of
the association.
Edwin A. Glenn of Washing
ton, host to the convention, ex-
pressed the opinion that his
resolution approving the limita-
ton of cabs here will be adopted
by the association.
The District Commissioners
have submitted an adverse re-
port on the Small bill to limit
the number of cabs here.
Delegates to the convention
included representatives from
throughout the United States,
and from Canada and Great
Britain.
