Denied in Trial
Of 7 Policemen
Judge Matthews
Sets April 20 for
Corper-T oyIor Cose
By WiIIiom 6. PoIIord

A change in venue for the trial
Of Police 1t. Carper and Sergt.
William L. Taylor on conspiracy
and graft charges was denied
today by Judge Burnita Shelton
Matthews of the United States
District Court for the District
of Columbia.
At the same time, Judge Mat
thews set April 20 as the date
for their trial.
The conspiracy count against
the two officers accused them of
conspiracy to violate narcotics
laws. In the graft counts they
are accused of accepting pay
ments from dope peddlers.
Publicity Cited by Attorney.
A motion for a change in
venue had been argued in No
vember by Defense Attorney
Myron G. Erlich. who contended
the officers could not receive a
fair trial in the District because
of widespread publicity given
the case. Attorney Erich had
produced many clippings of
articles concerning the two
men, and Judge Matthews took
the motion under advisement
after hearing the arguments at
that time.
In turning down the motion.
Judge Matthews left the way
open for it's possible renewal.
However, she expressed the view
the two officers can receive a fair
trial here, declaring:
"The court believes that there
can be secured with reasonable
certainty from the more than
100000 citizens in the District
of Columbia a jury whose mem
bers will be able to. try the case
solely upon the evidence as ad-
duced at the trial, and upon the
law as given the court"
Publicity Preceded Indictment.
Judge Matthews declared
most of the publicity concerned
hearings which took place be-
fore the two officers were in
dlted. She refused particu-
larly to the inquiry of the Sem
ate District Crime Investigating
Subcommittee. On this score
she said:
Although the report of the
subcommittee was released after
the indictment, the portion Of
it concerning defendants was a
report of hearings held prior to
their indictment and the pub
licity incident tosthe report was
confined to- one or two days at
the most.
ut was established she de-
clared. that the text of the re-
port was printed in the leading
Washington newspapers, and
that concurrently Herewith the
report was commented on in
newspaper articles and in radio
and television coverage. How
ever, such newspaper. radio and
television coverage was limited
to one day or two at the most.
At the time publicity facilities
were deluged with news of the
forthcoming convention for the
nominations of presidential can
didateS."

FBI Steps Up Search
For Indicted Spies;;'
Secrecy Held Vital

The Federal Bureau of Inves-
tlgation continued its search to-
day for the leaders of Wash
ington espionage ring named
yesterday in super-secret in
dictment.
A hint Of the seriousness OF
the action came from Justice
Department spokesmen who
maintained a cloak-and dagger
atmosphere by refusing even to
discuss the matter with news
men.
The initial clue that such an
investigation was going on came
when a grand jury appeared be-
fore Federal Judge Alexander
Holtzoff.
The jurist recessed another
hearing to take a sealed indict-
ment from Panel Foreman Allen
T. Peters.
Mr.. Peters stepped up to the
bench to announce that % of
the % grand jury members
wanted to present a secret indict-
ment.
Prosecutor Asks Secrecy.
Judge Holtzoff glanced briefly
at the seven-page report and
nodded his head in acquieSence.
Immediately. Oran H. Water
man. special assistant to the At
torney General, declared:
Your honor, we want this in
dictment sealed. However, after
the subjects have been arrested,
we would like to make it public. !"
Attempts to determine what
the jury had returned were un-
successful. A Justice Department
spokesman told reporters: II
can't even discuss the matter
with you. 1t concerns the ma
tional security of the United
States"
However, court attaches who
were near the grand jury room
said the move by the Govern
ment was lightning fast.
Shortly after 10 am. about a
dozen high-ranking Army off,
GERS. mostly majors and colonels,
collected in the court hallway.
One after another, they went
into the grand jury room.
BY 3:15 pm. the indictment
had been drawn and presented.
The penalty for the offense. if
those indicted are convicted, is
$4,000 fine and maximum
of 10 years in jail, during peace
time. In time of war, the pun
ishment can be death or impris-
onment up to 80 years.
Few Were Informed.
So secret were the activities
of Mr.. Waterman and Harold
D. Kofsky, who are assigned to
the Internal Security Section of
the Justice. Department, that
deputy marshals and others gen.
orally assigned to grand jury
duty did not know what was
going on.
An indication the Department
of Justice has completed it's case
came when Mr.. Waterman asked
Judge Holtzof to open the in
dictment, when "the subjects are
arrested"
Ordinarily, in such cases the
Government requests all infor-
nation be kept secret until the
case against the defendants is
completed.

u. 5. Custody
For Girls Seen
Bar 10 Riots
Shea Wants Law
To Put Aggravated
Cases Elsewhere

Legislation to send "aggra-
waited" girl delinquents here to
Federal correctional institutions
would go far toward preventing
outbreaks such as that the
National Training School for
Girls Monday night. according
to Public Welfare Director Ger
ard M. Shea.
The riot underscored three
other needs, the welfare director
added:
/. Speedy authorization and
completion of a new training
school for delinquents at the
Children's Center, Laurel, Md.
to replace the present antiquated
setup on Loughboro road.
2. Granting of about $4,000
in additional funds, as requested
in the 1854 budget, to double the
present cuStodial staff:
3. Assignment as soon as pos
sible of five male guards to pa
troll the grounds and buildings Of
the school at least 16 hours q
day-from about 3 pm. to Z am.
Combined Building Sought.
In the welfare budget now be-
fore Congress. ST million has
been recommended to get a COM
bined building to house the girls
training school and the Indus
trial Home School for colored
boys. Last year, the welfare de-
partment, with the aid of The
Star, obtained from the legisla-
tors an $86, 900 supplemental ap-
preparation for planning the
consolidated building.
The ST million in the 1854
budget would be only a start on
the $3.7 million institution. which
would be known as the Indus
trial Home School for Colored
BOYS and Girls.
Mr.. Shea said the District
needs a law to give the welfare
department the same power
with regard to girls that it now
has over boys-to refer badly
delinquent ones to the United
States Attorney General. Boys
so referred customarily are sent
by the Federal Government to
the National Training School for
Boys. 4 ..
The welfare director placed
the blame for Monday nights
riot on a handful of chronic
troublemakers.
Says Hands Are Tied. 4,
"These aggravated delinquency
cases leave US With our hands
tied" Mr.. Shea declared. 1--WE
lack the proper facilities for
handling them. They should be
treated as adults" #
AS it stands, authorities here
have only three choices in cases
of this kind, the welfare director
explained: dismissing the COM
plant in Juvenile Court, placing
the offender on probation, or
committing her to the care of the
welfare department,
MANY of the girls now have
a negative approached sort Of
tradition of causing trouble"
Mr.. Shea said.
In connection with adding
male guards, Mr.. Sfea pointed
out that such supervision now
is provided at the District Train
ing School (for feeble minded
children) at Laurel. At the girls
training school, he said, only one
man, an engineer, is stationed on
the grounds after II pm.
The welfare director said he
sees no problem of moral con-
duct that would arise from hay-
ing male guards circulating
among delinquent girls.
Additional cuStodial help.
male and female, would give
authorities greater supervision Of
the present institution. There
are now only two matrons on
duty al night to control up to "a
girls in two main buildings. The
additional supervisory workers
also would enable the institution
to more than double its present
capacity.
