BALTIMORE, Dec. 15.-A
bank cashier today told a Fed
eral Court jury how Emmitt R.
Warning developed an interest
in $1,000 dollar bills in 1917
the year the Government
claimed the Washington gambler
put a stable amount into a
safety deposit box.
The cashier, William r. Grady
Of 1908 Twenty-fourth avenue.
Hyattsville, Md, testifying in
Warnings income tax evasion
trial. said Warning owns stock in
the Hamilton National Bank.
where he has done business for
years.
Warning is being tried in
United States District Court on
charges that he evaded $92, 900
in income taxes for I947.
Mr.. Grady said he had known
the gambler through the latter's
visits to the Pennsylvania ave-
nue. branch Of the bank for Is
to 80 years. They called each
other by first names, he said.
Two Trips a Week.
The cashier said that before
1947 Warning averaged about
two trips week-sometimes
three or four-each time bring
ing a bag of checks and coins
to be exchanged for $40 and
500 bills. The bag, he said,
was about a foot wide and 2
feet long.
About the middle of 1947, Mr..
Grady said. Warning began ex-
changing, in addition to the
coin and checks, smaller bills
for $1,000 bills.
Once, early in 1948, he bought
a $4,000 bill. That was the
gamblers only request for a $10,-
900 bill, Mr.. Grady added.
When revenue agents looked
into the deposit box July 2, l948.
they found $4,000 in $1,000
bills and one $4,000 bill.

Gang Rivalry Blamed
In Cafe Shooting Of
Ex-Mobster Here
Gunmun John Kendrick
Charged in Wounding
Of CIoinos, White SLAYER

A flash of mobster war felled
former white SLAYER here
yesterday and Jailed an oft
accused gunman once more.
In what he was warned might
be a death-bed statement at
Emergency Hospital, George A,
Clainos, So. identified 54-year-
old John A. Kendrick, an ex-
inmate of Leavenworth and for
mer member of the Tri-State
gang, as the man who wounded
him with one shot from a 49,
caliber revolver at 5:45 pm
yesterday.
Clainos was in critical condi-
ton today. The slug entered
his left jaw, knocked out sew
eral teeth, severed the jugular
vein and lodged near the base
of the skull.
The hospital said Clainos was
paralyzed from the neck down
and speeches. and that the iden-
LITIGATION of Kendrick was made
only by a nod of the head when
he was asked if Kendrick was
the man who shot him.
The shooting came on the
second floor of the Good Hope
Coffee Shop, COL G street NV,
in the presence Of at least five
witnesses, but police still had
only theory as to the cause of it.
They reasoned that a division
of crime-gained loot might have
brought on the gun play.

lous information - little more
than rumor-picturing Ken6rlck

Rudy Pleads Guilty
To MansIaughier in
Death Of Baby Girl
Air Force Man jailed
Pending Sentencing
On Reduced Charge

Air Force Staff Sergt. Reuben
w. Rudy. "a. today pleaded guilty
to voluntary manslaughter in the
death OF his 14-month-old step
daughter in Arlington last Vet
Grams Day.
He had been charged with muir.
der II days after the child's
death. Police said the baby s
body was covered with bruises
and an autopsy showed she died
of a cerebral hemorrhage. A
grand jury indicted him for lnur-
der last Monday.
Circuit Judge Walter T. Nc
earthly deferred sentencing until
January 3. He remanded Rudy
to jail and asked for a report
from a probation officer before
sentencing. Rudy faces a DOS
sible penitentiary term of from
one to five years.
Mother Working at Time.
Rudy stood subdued before the
court today and his voice was
almost inaudible as he answered
Judge McCarthy's questions. The
judge asked him if he had con-
ferred with his attorney, Leonard
S. Sattler. and If he wished to
enter the guilty plea to volun-
tary manslaughter as stated by
his attorney. Rudy muttered af-
f1rmative replies to both ques-
tions.
commemorative Attorney Will
liam j. HasSan said he had nc
objection to the guilty plea to
the lesser charge.
Detective Sergt. Russell L.
Runyon and an Army criminal
investigation agent, Herbert
Ruge. had investigated the case
after the little girl was pro-
nounced dead at Fort Myer Dis
pensary. where Rudy had taken
her from their home in the 1900
! block Of North Eleventh street.
The mother, Reatha, 81, was at
work at a. Washington hotel
restaurant at the time of her
daughters death.
Body MASS Of Bruises"
Sergt. Runyon said police were
suspicious of the cause of the
little girls death because her
body was "a mass of bruises =
The detective said Rudy had ad-
mitted striking her. The ac-
cused man told police at first
that the baby was hurt in a fall
from her crib. Police said mo-
tive for the beating was Rudy's
jealousy Of his wife's attention
to the child.
Last week. at the request OF
the court, three Arlington physi-
clans examined Rudy and re-
ported he was not insane at the
time of their examination and
was fit to stand trial.

Congressman
Under Study in
'Payoff Probe
U. S. Checks to See
If Legislators Took
Illegal Contributor:
By Joseph Young

The Justice Department and
the United States Attorneys Of
flee here have launched a full
scale investigation to determine
whether members of Congress re-
ceived improper payments to in
f1uence their votes on Federal
pay raise legislation, The Star
learned today.
The investigation stems from
charges made several months ago
by Representative Broyhill, Re-
publican. of Virginia that he
was offered a $500 Campaign
contribution" if he would sup
port a z per cent postal pay
raise bill pending at that time
before the House Civil Service
Committee.
Mr.. Broyhill refused the offer.
which he said was made by Q
postal employee union official,
and promptly reported the mat
ter to the Justice Department.
Others Approached.
1t was reliably reported to The
Star that an investigation Of Mr..
Broyhill's charges disclosed 9TH
ers on the 25-member House
Civil Service Committee also had
been approached and offerd A.
nancial contributions.
The Star has learned that at
least one Republican member of.
the committee accepted the $500
offer about four weeks before 1t
was made to Mr.. BroyhiH. This
member did not return the
money until the news of the at
tempt to influence Mr.. Broyhill
was published in the newspapers
and all members of the COM
mittee we're quizzed by the
Justice Department as to
whether they also had been Of
fered and. accepted similar
money. it was learned.
The investigation also centers
around money repeatedly paid
to some committee members for
making speeches before employs
groups. The Justice Depart
ment is seeking to determine II
this was another way Of in
fiuencing members votes through
payment of money.
Big Sum for Speech.
One case being investigated
concerns a committee member
who received q stable sum. plus
travelling expenses for him and
his wife. for addressing a union
rally out-of town.
United States Attorney Leo A.
Rover would not comment on
the investigation. other than to
confirm that it was being made.
1t was also indicated that the
investigation would seek to de-
termine whether the alleged
practices extended to other COM
mittees Of Congress regarding
other legislative matters.
Top officials said that, If the
investigation uncovers specific
instances of illegal payments and
acceptance OF such payments. the
evidence will be presented to q
Federal Grand Jury.
Bitter Battle.
The battle over the Federal
pay raise legislation this year
was one of the bitterest In many
years. The House Civil Service
Committee was almost evenly
divided in sentiment over the
administrations salary reclassi-
flcation measure and the higher
across-the-board raise asked by
the employe groups.
1t was in this atmosphere, Just
before the committee voted on
the bill it would approve, that
Mr.. Broyhill charged he was APP
preached by a postal union off,
cial and offered $500 if he would
support the union backed
measure.

come. the Government told the
jury about the properties he
bought since 1886 in the Wash
ington area.
Included were three pieces of
real estate bought in 1947 for
$54.250-the year the Washing
ton gambler is accused of evad-
ing $4,000 in income taxes.
Warning is on trial in United
States District Court for the Dis
trict of Maryland,
Properties listed by a parade
of real estate officials to the wit
ness stand included:
l. A 29-acre farm at Columbia
pike and Sleepy Hollow road in
Fairfax County, Va, purchased
in 1947 for $4,000.
! 2. II acres in Fairfax County
near Pimmitt Run, bought in
1947 for $4,000.
3. Property at 2319 L street
NV, Washington. purchased in
1947 for St2,250.
Other Purchases.
In. addition, the Government
and defense attorneys agreed
that:
/. Warning bought his home
at 5000 Macomb street NV,
Washington, for $17.681 in
1885.
g. He bought a Colonial Beach
cottage in 1886 for $1,000.
3. A home at 1885 Massachu-
sets avenue NV, Washington,
was purchased in 1886 for SPA
119. The Government and
defense attorneys disagreed
whether this is actually owned
by Warning or his sister, Mrs.
Esther Cady. The properly is
recorded in Mrs. Cady's name.
Defense Strategy.
Meanwhile, it appeared likely
that defense attorneys will turn
their major effort on proving
that some of the money and
property the Government says
belongs to Warning belongs to
other people.
The strategy became evident
in cross-examination yesterday
of F. Joseph Donohue. former
District of Columbia Commits
sioner, called as a Government
witness in the income tax evasion
trial of the Washington gambler.
Mr.. Donohue, who represented
Warning in a case in 1899, told
how he saw $4,000 taken from
a safe in the Washington home
Of Mrs. Cady.

Mr.. Don ohue's appearance
brought Warnings first statement
Of the two-day trial. At the
behest of his current attorney.
Charles E. Ford, he arose and
said:

He referred to privileged COM
munications he had with Mr..
Donohue when the latter rep
resented him in 1889.
Mr.. Donohue recalled how
Warnings trial was interrupted
in that year to allow him to go
to Mrs. Cady's home to get the
$4,000. which. he said. had been

lions on Defense. Pose Al
the country to concentrate on
continental defense and de-
veloping the power to deliver
more severe blows than it ever
would get in a surprise attack.
This means, he said, that in
order to get the greatest value
from the dollars spent for de-
tense purposes, the Army's active
strength can be kept at mini
mum so long as continental
defenses and adequate reserve
forces are maintained.
Reported Army Cutback.
His remarks came in response
to a question about a report
which he did not deny-that the
administration is planning to re-
duce Army strength by 100000
and Withdraw the First Marine
Division from the Far East.
He told his questioner that he
was hesitant to try to relate his
thinking about the problems in
volved because full exposition
would require too much time.
But in the course of an ensuing
discussion, he emphasized these
points:
/. The country must have an
adequate reserve system TO en-
able it to bring its full power to
be"r rs rapidly as possible in
c" Of war.
q. The defense program must
b. nodded to meet the big
Treats. leaving the smaller ones
to be taken in stride because in
arv case he does not believe you
can buy 100 per cent security in
every corner of the world.
Changed Situation.
The President, in what he
called an effort to epitomize his
thinking about defense problems,
said the United States never had
had any reason to fear direct
attack on the homeland until
modern development of the long
range bomber and the very de-
structive atomic and hydrogen
weapons.
These developments point to
the great need of this country
now, he went on, to develop ways
to blunt any sudden attack and
at the same time to deter any
attack at all.
He said he hopes we can make
certain that no one ever can at
tack us and hope to gain by it.
Aside from the atomic age
threat of direct attack on the
United States. the President said
there is the threat of Soviet
domination over industrially-
powered regions such as Western
Europe and Japan that must be
considered in American defense
planning.
Continuing Problem.
It is not a one-year problem,
he added. but one that we must
be prepared to meet from now
on. He went on to say that,
while he hoped and prayed the
threat would not last that long,
defense plans must be designed
so that the program can be car
ried out for so years If necessary.
Thus the Importance of get
ting the greatest possible value
from dollars spent on defense,
the President emphasized.
A reporter asked If the idea
Of keeping active army forces at
minimum strength would not
impair Americas ability to fight
so called little wars"
Gen. Eisenhower said he would
rather improvise and resort to
expedience in little wars than
In big ones-but If you can win
. big war you certainly can win
q little one.
