House Lets Hoffman Appear
In Court on Speeding Charge

The House today adopted a
resolution permitting Represent
ative Hoffman, Republican, of
Michigan, to appear in Peoples
Court at HagerStown, Md, to an
swer a summons charging him
with speeding.
The resolution was adopted at
the request of the legislator, who
said he was willing to appear in
court but could not do so with
out authority of the House.
Although the summons was
issued by a Hagerstown police
sergeant, Mr.. Hoffman told the
House:
IT was not arrested for eX-
ceeding the 50-mile speed limit.
I was arrested for exercising at
the wrong time my right of free
dom of speech. was speaking to
the officer. :"
At this remark, members of
the House burst into a roar, and
Mr.. Hoffman quit his speech and
went back to his seat.
The matter was brought to the
House by Mr.. Hoffman with what
he called a privileged reSolu-
ton" to authorize him to appear
in court. He presented his police
department summons, which was
read in detail by the clerk. This
summons called him to appear in
court April II on a charge of
speeding.
Besides asking for the author
ity, the legislator said he wanted
to explain that there were two
mistakes in the summons. First,

Thye Orders Quick Hearing
On Standards designations
May Start Next Week as Result of Story
On 50 Scientists Threatening to Quit

Chairman Thye of the Senate
Small Business Committee today
ordered his staff to go full
speed ahead" in preparation for
hearing on the Bureau of
Standards resignation ruckus at
the earliest possible date.
Alarmed over the disclosure,
published exclusively yesterday
in The Star, that more than so
bureau employees have threatened
to resign unless the good name
of their organization is cleared,
the Minnesota Republican set
the staff to rearranging the COM
mittee's schedule to make way
for the investigation of the en-
tire battery additive dispute.
Originally, the committee had
announced hearings would be
held sometime in May" A
staff worker estimated today,
however, that it may now be pos
sible to open the investigation
sometime next week."
Appeals to Scientists.
AS he ordered the speedup,
Senator Thye also voiced an ap-
peal to scientists at the Bureau
to withhold their threatened de-
partures pending the hearings.
He telephoned the Commerce
Department and asked Assistant
Secretary Schaeffer to take ad-

the license number was not listed
correctly, and the charge that
the operators license had expired
was incorrect.
Mr.. Hoffman said that he did
not have a congressional tag
on his car and no Identification
tag. He wanted the House to
know not so much how a men,
ber of Congress had been treat
ed, but what the average citi-
zen was up against.
Declaring he intended to
speak at some length to the
House at a later time on the
general problem, he said he was
bringing up the subject now and
would do it later because of
the attitude of a certain seq
ment of the press" He did not
amplify this remark.
He told his colleagues that
"the House should be very jeal-
Gus of it's privileges.
The legislator said he fully
intended to appear in court and
pay whatever fine is necessary
but he added. apparently in a
jocular vein, that he might need
some help.

Otto Verber, Austri ia n-born
former GI, today pleaded guilty
to a charge of conspiring to spy
for the Soviet Union.
Verber pleaded guilty to the
second count of a tWo-count
espionage indictment. The counts
closely parallel each other and it
was considered likely that the
Government would drop the first
count when Verber is sentenced
at later date. He faces max
imum sentence of 10 years in
prison and a $4,000 fine.
The stocky balding defendant
made his plea before Judge AL
exander Holtzoff in the U. S.
District Court for the District of
Columbia, in a surprise move
which followed a conference in
Judge Holtzoff's chambers at
tended by prosecutor William
Hitz and defense attorney Roger
Robb. Also named in the es-
pionage indictment was Kurt
Ponger, also Austrian-born and
a United States Army veteran
of World War II. He is said to
be a brother in law of Verber
POnger Faces Trial Alone.
Trial of the two had been set
for April 20 but in view of today's
action Ponger will face trial
alone. Judge Holtzof severed
Ponger's case from that of Ver-
ber.

To Russian Spy Conspiracy
Army Veterans Surprise Move Leaves Other
Suspect, Kurt Ponger, Facing TrioI Alone

Both men were charged with
conspiring with Yuri v. Novi-
kov, former SECOND Secretary of
the Soviet Embassy here, to OBJ
tain vital defense and military
information with the intention
to transmit it to the Soviet.
Other persons were named in
the indictment but they were
not identified and are not
defendants. The indictment
charged, among a number of
overt acts, that the defendants
conspired to bribe certain United
States employees abroad in order
to obtain information.
Shows No Emotion.
The overt acts also included
allegations that the defendants
had met in Washington with
Novikov. The latter was declared
persona non grata by the State
Department following the in
dictment and returned to Russia.
The alleged espionage was
alleged to have taken place both
in Austria and in the United
States.
Verber stood stiff1y at atten-
ton as Judge Holtzoff asked him
if he had admitted the espionage
conspiracy.
''Yes, do. your honor" the
defendant said, without show of
emotion. He was led away by
deputy United States marshals
following acceptance of his plea.

WATERFOWL, N. Y, April
13.-The town bounced out of
bed today to honor the man who
put the spring in the bounce.

E. Liddy of Watertown con-
ceived the idea of the bedspring,
