June 2, 1852, alarmed at the
evidence uncovered by the 108th
Detachment Of the CIC( Count

ordered an investigation of es-
pionage at Fort Monmouth. It
was blocked.
"2. The CIC went far enough
to accept the conclusion that an
efficient Soviet espionage ring
had penetrated the laboratories.
This was apart from earlier ac-
tivities which involved the
atomic traitor Julius Rosenberg.
and from prior physical surveil-
lance which established a link
between Monmouth and Arthur
Adams, tabled Soviet spymaster,
who vanished in New York in
1945.

Insurance Concerns
Quick and Easy Fees
|Hif al CI0 Hearing
BY ihe Assoeio,ed Press

NEW YORK, Nov. ga CIo
hearing on how to eliminate
union welfare fund abuses has.
brought out criticism of loose.
money" commissions allowed by.
some insurance companies.
Joseph Swire, pension and
welfare negotiator for the CIO
international Union of Electro
cal Workers, said the lure Of
"Quick and easy" commission
money caused virtually all
abuses uncovered in CIO funds.
Mr.. Swire testified yesterday on
the first Of the hearings two
days.
He was answered by execu-
tives of four of the country's
largest insurance firms. who
strongly defended commissions
as, a necessary part of the in
surance business and regulated
in some ways by law.
Gilbert Fitzhugh. vice presi-
dent Of the Metropolitan Life In
surance Co., said that under most
State laws an insurance company
must pay a commission to an
agent or keep the money for
company administration.
Fees Paid to Brokers.
He said the firm pays COM
missions to the broker or agent
designated by the purchasers of
insurance. In most welfare
plans, he added, the employers
pay most Of the costs and desig-
nate the broker.
The hearing by the CIO Com
mittee on Ethical Practices fol-
lows a New York State Insurance
Department probe which turned
up a variety of welfare fund
abuses and laxity. The commit
tee is expected to draw up a code
of ethics to guide CIO unions,
which have welfare and pension
plans covering more than 3 mil
lion members and dependents.
Several witnesses emphasized
that only a few unions were in
volved in the mishandling of
funds.
In his attack on insurance
company commissions, Mr.. Swire
said excessive sums were paid to
some brokers who did not work
in drawing up the plans and
who tempted and "seduced" un-
ion officials into improper ham
ding of their funds.
Tells of Big Payment.
He said that in one case a
broker did nothing to negotiate
a fund for a large corporation
but got half a million dollars as
an initial fee and 100000 a
year for the next nine years.
Insurance company spokesmen
said they doubted that such a
huge fee would be possible, even
on the largest conceivable con-
tract.
Secretary OF Labor Mitchell
told the hearing his department
is considering possible legisla-
ton to. tighten up regulation Of
the union health. welfare and
pension plans.

Expert Tells Of Hunt
For Fingerprinfs in
Sheppards' Home
BY the Assoeiossd Press

=
CLEVELAND. Nov. %. "A
fingerprint expert agreed today
that some one might have wiped
objects in the Sheppard home
with a cloth the morning Mar
ilyn Sheppard was murdered.
Detective Michael s. Grabow-
ski also told the jury trying her
osteopath husband, DR.. Samuel
Sheppard. for her murder, that
''he noticed peculiar lines" on
a living room desk "as If I had
a rough, sandy hand and ran
1t over"
He said he could find no An
gerprints of any value wherever
he checked. just smudges.
Tested Metal Boxes.
The subject of his testing
some metal boxes in the Shep-
pard den also came up. OF
these. he said:
"The lines were like a person
took piece of sandpaper and
scratched straight through"
Thomas j. Parrino. assistant
prosecutor, asked Mr.. Grabow-
ski:
Gould it have been done with
q cloth?"
"Yes. sir" he replied.
The State insists that DR..
Sheppard arranged his home
after Staying his wife to make 1t
look as if a burglar ransacked
the house and killed her.
Found Peculiar Lines.
IT found peculiar lines on the
drop-leaf of the desk" Mr..
Grabowski continued, "just like
straight lines over the drawers.
the drop-leaf and on top. I
found these lines also on articles
in the study.
"They were on two statuettes
and metal boxes"
Mr.. Grabowski described how
he went over the house, testing
for fingerprints by visual, OBJ
lique-light and powder methods
and found nothing of value.
There was one place in the liv-
ing room. he said, where a par
tial palm print was found-a
print later identified as made
by the Sheppard son. Chip.
I'm any place in that room
other than the palm print were
you able OF find any identif1able
prints?" Mr.. Parrino asked.
'tNone, sir" Mr., Grabowski an
swered.
Unable to Test Kit.
At other points of his testi-
mony Mr.. Grabowski explained
that he was unable to test a
black medical kit because it's
peebbly surface showed such a
test would be useless in an ex-
pertinent with his own finger
prints on the back of the bag.
He said he also found prints
on the living room door too
smudged to be of any value.
Describing a trip to the beach
behind the Sheppard home about
9:15 o'clock on the murder morn
ing, Mr.. Grabowski said he mo-
ticed some bare footprints on
the beach,
"They started of about so
feet away from the steps and
extended down about IS feet in
an easterly direction They
were bare footprints that looked
as though the water had been
washing into them. They were
pretty well rounded off,"
Sheppards' Maid on Stand.
Mr.. Grabowski was preceded
on the stand by Mrs. Elnora
Helms, the Sheppards' maid, who
testified DR.. Sheppard and Mrs.
Sheppard shifted from double
bed to twin beds two weeks after
they returned from California
last spring.
But Mrs. Helms also told the
jury that Mrs. Sheppard once
had explained this to her by
saying that 'Dr. Sam had an
awful bad cold"
The bedroom switch testi-
inony was made by Mrs. Helms
under examination by the pros
ecution. and the explanation
came after she was questioned
by Defense Attorney Fred w.
Garmone.
The State claims that during
that trip to California, DR..
