CHICAGO, Oct. IT. Gifts
sent to President Eisenhower,
Vice President Nixon and some
United States Senators, it was
disclosed in Federal Court yes
terday, were paid for with worth
less checks written by an ex-
convict.
Joseph Levy, Sc, described by
Federal prosecutors as veteran
bad check artist with 81 aliases,
was in court on three counts of
forgery.
Assistant United States Attor-
ney James Piragine told of Levy's
operations in writing checks to
buy gifts to be sent nationally
known persons. The checks
would be for much more than
the price of the gift-Levy pock-
citing the balance. He knew the
names-not the persons to whom
he sent the gifts.
He bought an expensive set OF
golf clubs at a Dayton, Ohio,
sporting goods store last March
and had them sent to Mr.. Nixon
with a note which said: Dick,
beat the boss. Leon"
Other worthless checks were
written by Levy, Mr.. Piragine
said, to buy whisky for President
Eisenhower and Mr.. Nixon; per-
fume for Mrs. Eisenhower; flow
ers and pipes to Senator Lehman
of New York and flowers to Sen
ators Bridges of New Hampshire
and Saltonstall of Massachu-
sets.
Levy, a dapper man who has
spent more than IS years in
various prisons, smiled as Pira-
CINE related the story to Judge
Hoffman. Levy pleaded guilty
but Judge Hoffman delayed SEN

Dies From Burns
OF Flaming Leaves

Four-year-old Dennis r. Phe-
Ian. who was burned yesterday
morning while playing with
matches near his home, died last
night in Providence Hospital.
He had suffered second and
third degree burns about the
upper body when the flannel
shirt he was wearing caught fire
from a pile of leaves he had
lighted.
Dennis, the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. James r. Phelan of BASS
Twenty-f1fth street Sc, was
brought to the hospital after
neighbors beat out the flames. A
4-year-old playmate, JanEtta
Rock. daughter of 1t. Comdr.
and Mrs. Cleo Rock of 3453
Twenty-f1fth street Sc, burned
her fingers slightly trying to stop
GIl6 names.
: Charles Lanphier. a Chicago
union representative. was eating
late breakfast with his daughter,
Mrs. John Quill of 2409 Southern
avenue Sc, when he saw the
children's plight from the win
dow. He ran out and threw his
pajama top about the boy to
smother the flames. When this
failed he took his daughters
chenille robe and wrapped that
around the boy.
Mrs. Rock took the children to
the hospital in her auto. The
boy was suffering from shock.

sons, Paul, Z. and John, Is

to a grand jury or to undertake
further investigation thereof.
This does not apply, of course,
to possible violations of the in
come tax laws which have been
referred to the Treasury Depart
ment and which are still under
investigation"
Multiple charges of fragrant
violation of election laws became
the subject of the investigation
by the Senate Elections Com
mittee. It sent a report to the
Justice Department September
IL.
Reply to Senators.
In his letter of reply made
public yesterday, Mr.. BrowneX
wrote:
"The report, its recommended
tions, and the files concerning
this matter, made available to
this department by your sub
committee on privileges and
elections, have been carefully
read; all further lines of inquiry,
as suggested by the report, have
been exhaustively followed, and
additional investigative leads
pursued.
"The results of such further
investigation, together with the
report, have been thoroughly and
carefully considered and analysed
by us. It is our conclusion that
the evidence fails to establish the
commission of any public offense
defined by Federal statute.
GAS a consequence, the Depart
ment of Justice does not intend
to present any of the matters dis
cuSsed in the committee report
to a Federal grand jury"
The Senate investigators had
branded the Maryland campaign
as a "despicable. backstreet type"
Questions of Conduct Raised.
The original Senate report on
Senator Mccarthy personally
reached no conclusions, but SIM
ply raised series Of questions
about his conduct. Among QueS-
tionS asked were:
l. Did Senator Mccarthy use
funds contributed for his anti
Communist drive to finance his
own speculationS in the soybean
market, and did he have con-
f1dential information about the
probable trend of Soybean prices?
2. Did Senator Mccarthy use
friends and members Of his fam
lily to conceal his income, COM
modify and stock speculation
and "other financial transactions
for Interior motives?"
3. Was Senator Mccarthy
justified in accepting $4,000
from the now defunct Lustron
Corp. for writing a booklet on
housing at a time when he was
a member of the Senate Bank
ing Committee and Lustron's
operations depended upon Re-
construction Finance Corp. fl
nancing and when, in turn, the
agency was dependent upon
Congress for continued author'
ity?

possible serious violence.
Gen. Thimayya whisked the
prisoner away from angry crowds
of officers of both sides, put him
in his own car and sped away.
Capt. Donald Stettler, Ana
helm, Calf. the U. N. observer,
said the POW tried at least IT
times to leave the marathon in
terview and return to his COM
pound, but was stopped by the
Indian guards at the insistence
of the Red explainers.
"They kept hammering and
hammering at him." Capt. Stet-
tier said. They wore out four
explainers.
Cruelty to Be Charged.
A spokesman said the u. N.
command would protest to the
NNRC ION the grounds of cruel
and unusual punishment-to
make him sit and listen to that
brain washing for three hours"
Capt. Stettler said the Reds
apparently concentrated on that
one Chinese because he had
walked quietly into the explana-
ton tent and sat down, unlike
most of the other Chinese.
He said the POW told the in
reviewers at least four times II
want to go TO Formosa"-the
Chinese Nationalist island.
Capt. Stettler said he asked
seven times that the interview
be halted, but that the Indian
chairman of the MIRO subcom-
,mittee overruled him. ...
The POW was taken out once
after more than two hours. Red
Chinese observers behind a
barbed wire barricade shouted to
him:
This way, this way"
A crowd of Americans stand
ing nearby yelled. Shut up"
Observers Pushed Back.
The POW asked to return to
the tent so that he could make
a statement to the Red explain
ers, but he simply sat inside,
dazed and quiet.
Indian guards, meanwhile,
pushed a milling crowd of almost
100 allied and Red observers
away from the tent.
Gen. Thimayya, noting the
disturbance, went into the tent,
grabbed the POW by the shoul-
der and strobe out over the pro-
tests of the Chinese explainers
and Polish and Czech members
of the NNRC subcommittee.
An Indian spokesman said the
prisoners fate would be referred
to the repatriation commission.
Meanwhile, the Allied repatri-
alton group commander, Brig.
Gen. A. L. Hamblen, wrote Gen.
Thimayya protesting the number
of Communists who entered the
south explanation camp yester-
day where the Communists con-

will decide whether any tax
prosecution is justified. In
the meantime however, the
Justice Department has cleared
Senator Mccarthy of any vio-
lation of election, fraud or other
laws not dealing with taxes.
Mr.. Brownell's decisions were
disclosed in letters to Chair
man Jenner of the Senate Rules
Committee, of which the cleo
tions subcommittee is a part,
Mr.. Brownell then made the
letters public at an acrimonious
press conference played before
TV cameras. It was the most
elaborate press show that Mr..
Brownell has held since he be-
came Attorney General.
Confined to Record.
He and Warren Olney, Assist
ant Attorney General in charge
of the criminal division, said the
Justice Departments investiga-
ton of Senator Mccarthy was
not extensive, and the Senator
himself was not questioned. The
investigation, they said, concen-
trated on finding out whether the
facts as turned up by the Senate
committee reflected any viola
ton of criminal laws. -
Mr.. Brownell said the Justice
Department planned no further
statement on it's investigations.
He said, under questioning, that
he presently had in mind no rec
concentrations for legislation
that might have been suggested
by the evidence.
Mr.. Brownell and Mr.. Olney
declined to discuss exactly what
laws-other than fraud and
election Statutes-were used to
test Senator McCarthy's activi-
ties. They said that since the
Wisconsin Republican has been
cleared, it would be unusual to
discuss such details of the in
quiry.
In his letter to the Senate
Rules Committee on the Nc
earthly case, Mr.. Brownell re-
called that the Justice Depart
ment got involved when Senator
Hennings, Democrat, of Mis-
souri,, relayed the Elections Com
mittee's report to then Attorney
General James P. McGranery.
Mr.. Brownell continued:
Senator Hennings stated the
purpose of the reference was for
such consideration as may be
within the jurisdiction and the
responsibility of your depart
ment.' I have understood this
language to mean that Senator
Hennings was referring to the
criminal jurisdiction and respon-
sibility of the Department of
Justice, although certain parts
of the report touch on possible
violations of the income tax laws
which are, of course, the re-
sponSibility of the Treasury De-
partment and not within the
jurisdiction of the Department
of Justice.
I'm accordance with Senator
HenningS' reference the report
has been carefully reviewed by
the criminal division of the De-
partment of Justice as to possible
offenseS within the departments
jurisdiction. The report fails to
show the commission of any such
offenSeS.
New Data Not Indicated.
1.-THE subcommittee spent a
great deal of time, effort and
money in its Investigations made
prior to the preparation of the
report and there is no reason to
believe that new evidence would
be forthcoming from further in
veStigation.
consequently, it seems APP
propriate to advise your COM
mittee at this time that the De-
partment of Justice does not
intend to present any of the
matters touched on in the report

Mrs. Walter Ufford, Pioneer
In Social Work, Dies at sc
Friend Of Needy
Fought for Funds
And Better Laws

Mrs. Walter S. Ufford, Sc, q
veteran social worker who spent
her life helping others, died
Thursday in Easton, Pa. She and
her sister. Miss Rosa Brown. who
lived together at 1910 Biltmore
street NV, had been visiting
theii brother in Easton for the
last three weeks.
Mrs. Ufford was one Of the
oldest and best-known social
workers in Washington. She had
been called rowing ambassador
for the District" and mother
of the underprivileged." She
spent much time on Capitol Hill
working for larger appropriations
for hospitals. the Board Of Pub
lie Welfare. and similar purposes
and in supporting legislation for
District welfare and social needs.
Active in Legislation.
She had a big part in getting
legislation passed for hygiene
work in Washington and she was
active in a group that assembled
drafts of model State laws for
control of veneral diseases and
prostitution.
She was one of the primary
legislative advocates of juvenile
court for the District.
Once a Congressman said of
Mrs. Ufford: "She is the great
est one-man minority ever
ran up against.
Mrs. Ufford appeared many
times before congressional COM
mitteeS dealing with Slum clear
ance. She and the late DR..
Ufford, her husband, a pioneer
social worker and former general
secretary of the Associated
Charities of Washington, were
among an early group that tried
to clean up Slums here.
Impatient of channels and red
tape, Mrs. Ufford usually got
what she wanted when she
wanted it. Once during World
War II she heard that many
Government girls were living in
cold dormitories. Mrs. Ufford
proceeded to find a cache of
Army blankets and to COM
mandeer them.
An Army official said she would
have to go through channels to
get them. Mrs. Ufford reminded
him that while she would be 60
ing through channels, the girls
would be going through chills.
She got the blankets right away
and distributed them.
Early Hospital Worker.
Mrs. Uford had done much
Red Cross work. Before there
was any organized social service
at District General Hospital, she
went there every Saturday morn
ing to do voluntary work in the
syphilis clinic.
Some years ago, when Health
Department funds ran low and
the health officer decreed that
treatments for venereal diseases
be stopped for three months until
new appropriation came
through, Mrs. Ufford went into
action. She succeeded in having
deficiency appropriation put
through and the VD treatments
continued.
Mrs. Ufford was on the board
of Children Guardians and was
active in the Monday Evening
Club. Both are now defunct.
Her husband was largely re-
sponsible for the reorganization
of the Monday Evening Club,
making it a Social-work power
in the District. She was presi-
dent of the club in 1929. In the
same year she organized a COM
mittee to relieve unemployment.
Mrs. Uford was chairman of
the civic affairs sections of the
goth Century Club and was a
charter member of the D. C..
Social Hygiene Society. Last
May she attended the boards
annual luncheon at the Hotel
Statler.
