against Physicist Jerome Mayo
Greenberg, who was accused of
falsely stating he had never been

dictment was a violation of pro-
tective rights guaranteed in the
Constitution.
In dismissing the case, Judge
Hutcheson pointed to the SINH
larity between the Greenberg in
dictment and one against Harry
Bridges, West Coast longshore-
man leader, recently dismissed
by the Supreme Court.
DR.. Greenberg currently is on
leave from his job as a physics
professor at Rensselaer, Poly

By Dewey 10 Support
Niagara Power Plan
BY the Associated Pres.

Gov. Dewey of New York
pleaded today that his State be
permitted to build new power
plants at Niagara Falls along
with the st. Lawrence River
project.
''We ask that Congress not
divide these Siamese twins to the
death of EACH" Gov. Dewey told
the Senate Public Works Com
mittee which is considering leg
islation on the Niagara plan.
The State already has con-
gressional sanction for the st.
Lawrence work, and Gov. Dewey
contended the Niagara and the
st. Lawrence are, in effect, a
continuing river.
The Governor said it is indis-
putable that Niagara Falls itself
is the property of the people Of
the State.
Approved by House.
The House has Overwhelming
ly approved legislation to give
five big private New York utili-
ties authority to apply to the
power commission for a license
to build the $400 million power
installation.
Gov. Dewey said he is not an
expert on power nor do I pre-
tend to be" but added the ex-
pertS don't all agree"
Gov. Dewey said for decades
both the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties have proclaimed
that Niagara and st. Lawrence
are assets of the people and
should be developed for the peo-
pie.
This matter, I submit" Gov.
Dewey said, "has been submit
ted to the people of New York
and never-with one exception
has anyone who held a diff
ferent view been elected to State
Office"
Gov. Dewey said the one ex- .
ception was a Republican gov
ernor elected in the 1920s-and
he ran about a million votes
behind the rest of the G. o. P.
ticket.
The committee is considering
three bills for the development
of Niagara-including the one
passed by the House.
FavOrs Ives Bill.
Gov. Dewey supports the meas
ure introduced by Senator Ives,
Republican, of New York, that
would give such approval to the
power authority of New York
State.
The third measure is one in
troduced by Senator Lehman,
Democrat Liberal, of New York,
and Representative Roosevelt.

that would give the Federal Gov
ernment authority to undertake
the project.
If New York State develops

said, the financing will be done
through sale of bonds by the
power authority. to be liquidated
by sales of power, at low rate.
to the people of New England,
New York, Pennsylvania and

Adonis Enters Plea
|0f Not Guilty 10
PerjuryCharqesHe Here

Racketeer Joe Adonis today
pleaded not guilty to perjury
charges when he was arraigned
before Judge Edward A. Tamm
in the U. S. District Court for
the District of Columbia.
The defendant was allowed to
remain free on $4,000 bond pend
ing trial. No trial date was set,
and Adonis' attorneys were given
80 days to file motions.
Stems From Birth Claim.
The charges against Adonis
stemmed from his appearance
before the Kefauver Crime In
vestigating Committee in Decem-
ber, 1850. Adonis was accused
of falsely stating that he was an
American citizen, born in Pas
sale, N. j. The Government
charges he is an alien of Italian
birth.
Although he was released from
a New Jersey prison within the
last 10 days. the racketeer ap-
peared bronzed and fit, garbed
in a natty gray suit.
He had served time for viola
ton of gambling laws in that
State. Recently the Federal
Court of Appeals in New York
reversed a contempt conviction
of Adonis. The court held he
was within his constitutional
rights in refusing to answer
certain questions asked by a Ke-
feuver subcommittee in New
York in 1851.
Hears Contempt Charge.
Later today Adonis again was
taken before Judge Tamm and
arraigned on. a 10-count con-
tempt of Congress indictment.
He pleaded not guilty and
bond was set at $500 pending
trial, for which no date was set.
The charges stem from Adonis'
refusal to answer questions
asked by the Kefauver commit
tee on December IL, 1850. Mr..
Hitz said the contempt case was
similar to the New York case
in which Adonis' conviction was
reversed by the Appellate Court.
He said the Justice Depart
ment is considering appealing
the reversal to the Supreme
Court. Final action Of the Su-
preme Court would have a direct
bearing on the contempt pro-
ceedings here, the prosecutor
said.
Italian Birth Cited.
According to information re-
ceived by Assistant United States
Attorney William Hitz, Adonis
was born in Italy in 1902 and
christened Guiseppantonio Doto.
Adonis appeared for the ar
raignment flanked by his at
torneys, william H. Collins of
Washington and Harold Corbin
of New York.
The perjury charge carries
maximum penalty of 10 years in
prison or $4,000 fine or both.
