Straus Quits Job
He Held Under Fire

President Eisenhower today
accepted the resignation OF
Reclamation Commissioner Mi
chael w. Straus, who had held
firmly to the job to which for
mer President Truman appointed
him despite congressional efforts
to GUST him. No successor has
been named.
The 80th Congress made sew
eral unsuccessful efforts to get
Mr.. Straus out of the Interior
Department in 1913 and 1949
The legislators didn't like the
way he did his job.
Efforts were made to get Mr..
Truman to fire Mr.. Straus.
There was an unsuccessful at
tempt to have the reclamation
law changed or repealed. A ques-
ton of Mr.. Straus' loyalty was
raised, and the Justice Depart
ment cleared him. Then Mr..
StrauS' salary was cut off, and
he served for two years without
pay. The 81st Congress voted to
pay him for the two years he
had served.
Mr.. Straus, Sc, entered the In
terror Department in 1888 as as
sistant to Secretary Ickes. He
handled the departments public
relations. In 1943, he was made
an assistant secretary, and in
1945, Mr.. Truman appointed him

Obstacles 10 Trial
Of Carper Removed
By Judge Matthew'S

Obstacles to the trial of sus-
pended police 1t. H. H. Carper
and his former aide, Sergt. Will
liam L. Taylor, set for April 20,
have been removed in a ruling by
Federal Judge Burnita S. Mat
thewS.
Judge Matthews, in the U. S.
District Court for the District of
Columbia, today rejected mo-
tons for severance, which would
have caused each defendant to
be tried separately; to dismiss the
indictment; for a bill of particu-
lars; and for a separate trial on
each of the alleged offenses.
The jurist threw out one count
of the 10-count indictment
charging conspiracy to violate
the narcotics laws and ac-
ceptance of brides from mar
cotics peddlers. The count
which was dismissed charged
Carper and Taylor with re-
ceiving $1,000 from James M.
(Jim Yellow Roberts in July,
1949, to protect Roberts in the
latter's narcotics traffic in Vir-
ginia."
Defense counsel had argued
that the policemen had no legal
duty to enforce Virginia laws,
and therefore could not have
protected Roberts in that State.
Still included in the indict-
ment are nine counts charging
conspiracy and the acceptance
of brides from Roberts and
others for, protection within the
District.
Several weeks ago Judge Mat
thews rejected a plea for a
change of venue.
