Jury Resumes Study
OF Proyoo Case After
Sx-Hour StaIemate
BY the Assoeia.sd Pres.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE
fate Of John David Provoo-
with his life possibly at stake
on treason charges-was in the
hands Of a Federal Court jury
today.
The jury, unable to agree after
six hours Of deliberation, was
locked in a hotel about II O'Clock
last night and was directed to
resume deliberations today. The
case--in which testimony started
October 27--went to the jury
late yesterday and the jury took
an hour out for dinner.
Provoo. 35-year-old former
Army sergeant and California
native, is accused of joining the
japanese after the fall of Cor
regidor in 1912 and selling out
his fellow American prisoners OF
war.
Charged With Captains Death.
One of the Governments
major charges is that he was
responsible for the death Of Army
Capt. Burton c. Thomson of
Swea City. Iowa, whom he al
legedly reported to their captors
as "anti-Japanese." Capt. Thom-
son was executed by the Japa-
neSe.
The penalty for conviction of
wartime treason ranges from five
years in prison to a maximum
sentence of death.
The jury of seven women and
five men heard A witnesses for
the prosecution and IS for the
defense, including Provoo. Wit
nesses were brought here from
various parts of the United
States and from Japan.
There was testimony that Pro-
voo-who studied in Japan be-
fore World War II and learned
the language-practiced Bud
dhism.
Judge Instructs Jury.
Judge Gregory F. Noonan told
the jurors in his charge that in
order to convict Provoo they
must be convinced he committed
an overt reasonable act proved
by the testimony of two eye
witnesses. The defendant must
be acquitted, the judge said, un-
less the jurors decided he COM
mitted one or more of the seven
alleged acts while wilfully and
reasonably intending to give aid
and comfort to enemies of the
United States.
Provoo's court-appointed at
torneys-George Plotkin and
Murray E. Gottesman-argued
in their summations that Pro-
VOC was a loyal American and
was guilty only Of "bootlicking." "
They stressed his testimony that
he had used his knowledge Of
Buddhism and the japanese Ian
guage to gain favor with the
Japanese so he could be Of help

Puryis Units Report
On Personnel System
Goes 10 Committee

Senate Civil Service Commit
tee members today promised SER
ious consideration will be given
proposals to streamline the Gov
ernment's personnel system. sub
mitted yesterday by its special
investigating subcommittee.
The subcommittee's staff was
headed by former FBI Agent
Melvin Purvis., and the report
and recommendations turned
over to the committee yesterday
represented two years work.
Although the investigation was
authorized by the 82d Demo-
cratic Congress, Chairman Carl
son said the Purvis group has
rendered a great service" and
that he believes the report Is
very valuable.
Because of the voluminous
nature Of the report, the COM
mittee will have to study it fur
ther before taking action, SEN
ator Carlson said.
Among the proposals was one
for a complete new Federal pay
system for classified and postal
employees.
Somewhat along the line of
the original Hoover Commission
proposals on pay, the recommen-
dation would set up a compen-
sation board within the Civil
Service Commission. Less atten-
ton would be paid elaborate job
descriptions as provided in the
present Classification Act.
Instead, pay would be based
on the type of job and the pay
Of comparable jobs in the local
ity where a Federal worker was
employed. Another factor would
be the jobs Importance in the
labor market where the employe
worked.
Congress would set the mini
mum and maximum Federal pay
rates, but the compensation
board would set rates for all in
dividual employees within the
floor and ceiling and could adj
just the salaries from time to
time.

FIaxer Found Guilty,
Faces Jail on Two
Contempt Charges
By Howard [. Dutkin

A Federal jury yesterday found
Abram Flaxer. president of the
United Public Workers of Ameri-
ca, guilty of two counts of con-
tempt of Congress.
The jury returned it's verdict
before Judge Burnita S. Mat
thewS in the U. S. District
Court for the District of
Columbia less than half an hour
after beginning, deliberations.
F1axer faces possible maximum
sentence of one year in Jail and
$1,000 fine on each charge.
Meanwhile, Judge Matthews
has under advisement a motion
for Judgment of acquittal made
earlier. in the case. In addition,
she gave Defense Attorney Vito
,Marcantonio 10 days to file a
brief in support of a second mo-
ton. made after the verdict, to
set aside the verdict on the
grounds it was contrary to the
weight of the evidence.
The charges against Flaxer
stemmed from his failure to turn
over membership lists to a Sem
ate Internal Security subcom-
mittee investigating Communist
inf1ltration. The indictment
listed the date of the alleged Of
fenses as october S. 1851.
Mr.. Marcantonio stressed this
point in his motion for acquittal.
He read excerpts from the
transcript of the subcommittee
proceedings, which indicated
that on october 5, 1851. when
Flaxer failed to produce the rec
ords, he was given 10 days more
to turn them over.
This meant, the defense lawyer
argued, that if there was any
contempt at all. it occurred on
October Is. 1851 and not on the
date specified in the indictment.
But United States Attorney
William Hitz told the court that
contempt was committed on both
dates and that Flaxer might
have been prosecuted under the
October Is date as well.
Last November, Chief Judge
Bolitha j. Laws Of the U. S. Dis
trict Court for the District of
Columbia threw out charges of
contempt of Congress, whichhad
been lodged against Flaxer.
The dismissal of the counts
occurred when defense counsel
opposed a continuance of the
trial, after the prosecution
pleaded it was not ready to be-
gin because a key witness was
unavailable.
The charges, at that time,
stemmed from Flaxer's refusal
to answer questions put to him
by the Senate Internal Security
subcommittee concerning alleged
Communist connections.
The UPWA last year claimed
a membership of $4,000, mostly
State and municipal workers,
with a sprinkling of Federal
employees. It had been cited by
the Internal Security subcom-
mittee as "Communist-domi-
mated" insofar as it's leadership
was concerned.
At one time Flaxer had re-
fused to tell the Senate group
whether or not he was a Com
munist. His silence was based
on Constitutional safeguards
against possible self -incrimi-
nation.
