Yoke Victim, Waiting
To Testify, jailed as Drunk

A complaining witness in a
robbery case was locked up yes
terday when the court was in
formed he was too intoxicated
to testify.
The witness, Clarence L. Hay
wood, 20, of the 1900 block of
Columbia road NV, was the
victim last December of a $210

One defendant in the case had

second defendant, Howard Earls,
81. of Gaffney. S. c.. went on
trial yesterday before a jury in
the U. S. District Court for the
District of Columbia.
When it came time for Hay
wood to testify, Assistant United
States Attorney Thomas A.
Flannery told Judge Alexander
Holtzoff the witness was too in
toxicated to take the stand.
Judge Holtzof then ordered
Mr.. Haywood committed to the
custody of the United States

cuts in the Army, Navy and

The committee found it is
more economical, as well as
more feasible administratively.
to employ civilians in place of
the military in many types of
positions. 1t referred to study
made recently by the House
Civil Service Committee, which
showed a lot of unnecessary
waste of military manpower.
Defense officials predict that

+ II X
TOP HEAVY CHARGE-In
reporting the 1855 defense money
bill. the House Appropriations
Committee was sharply critical
of an increase in upper-salary
civilian jobs.
The committee said that while
there was a 81 per cent decrease
during the past year in grades
GS l to 7 jobs, there was a Is
per cent increase in grades GS
8 to IS jobs.
The committee also criticized
the methods used in filling the
super-grade $4,000 to $14.800
jobs in the Defense Department.
Declaring that the committee
was under the impression that
the type of jobs were needed to
attract specialists and experts
from industry, the committee
said 43 of the SO super" jobs
filled since January /, 1858, re-
suited from departmental pro-
motions.
"While in certain instances
this may be justified. it is felt
that the purpose for which super
grades were originally created is
being distorted, which situation
may call for a general and de-
tail review of all such positions.

Po|Iaek Is Acquitted
Maryland Charge
OF Blocking Justice
BY the Associoted Press

CUMBERLAND. April 81
Associate Judges Morgan C. Har-
ris and George Henderson today
ordered directed verdict of
not guilty in the case of Balti-
more political leader James H.
(Jack) Pollack, accused of try
ing to obstruct justice.
The charges against Pollack
arose from a series of morals
trials in Baltimore last year. He
was accused of attempting to in
f1uence the testimony of George
H. Baccala and Armand L. Cor
ridi, two of the morals trials de-
PENDANTS.
The judges said in a six-page
opinion 1T is our conclusion
there is not sufficient evidence to
go to the jury"
Obstruction Not Shown.
"We cannot conclude from the
questions asked by James H.
Pollack that he was endeavoring
to corruptly influence, intimidate
or impede these witnesses, nor
can we conclude that he was en-
deavoring to obstruct or impede
the due administration of JUS
tice." the judges said.
AS the trial opened yesterday,
the defense presented a letter
written to Pollack from Baccala
and Corridi. The letter sought to
clear Pollack of any alleged
wrongdoing, and it stated, I'VE
are writing this letter of our
own free will and no one has told
us to send this letter."
Baccala, under redirect ex-
animation by j. Harold Grady,
assistant to Baltimore States
Attorney Anselm Sodaro, said
he and Corridi had been told to
write the letter.
Convicted With Is Others.
Baccala and Corridi were
among IS convicted of sex of
fenses against two young girls.
Franklin Roosevelt D'Alesandro,
20-year-old son of Baltimore's
Mayor, was the only defendant
acquitted.
Prosecutors charged that Pol
lack was trying to influence the
testimony of Baccala and Corridi
to assist young D'Alesandro in
avoiding further involvement in
the morals case. The Mayors
son is awaiting trial on a charge
of lying at his trial.
