Beard Loans
Cited at Trial
u. S. Seeks to Prove
Affluence Exceeded
Income He Reported
By Jock Jonas
Stor StoH Correspondent

BALTIMORE, Md, Oct. "a
Washington lawyer had to be
persistent to get Sam Beard to
take any money in return for
loaning the lawyer $25,000 in
1916, a Federal Court jury was
told today.
Charles Walker of 3108 Wood
ley road NV, Washington, tes-
tifying in Boards SIG million
income tax evasion trial, said he
borrowed the money because he
had "a chance to make $4,000 on
a deal"
He said he told Beard that if
the deal went through, he would
give the Washington gambler
half of what he made, and Beard
replied, lets talk about that
later" The deal went through.
Mr.. Walker said. and he had to
insist several times before Beard
would take the $1,OUO.
Gordon Louis Sadur, of 5000
Connecticut avenue NV, WASH
ington. an accountant who once
worked on Boards income tax
returns, testified about two other
$25, 900 loans the Washington
gambler made. Both were to the
Car Credit Co., one in 1916 and
the other in 1947.
Seek to Prove Affluence.
The Government is trying to
show that Beard was a man Of
aff1uence in the years he was
reporting less income than the
Government says he should have
reported.
There was more testimony to-
day about Boards gambling VIM
nings. Isaac Chaitt, of Lancas-
ter. Pa, said he lost more than
$4,000 in 1914 betting with
Beard on horse races.
Defense attorneys expressed
surprise when Mr.. Chaitt testi-
fed that he had visited 3701
Bladensburg road and found
an elaborate horSebetting room
there, complete with a win
dow for making bets and
loud speaker system for an
nouncing races and results.
"Are you sure you're not get
ting that confused with La
Fontaine's place?" defense at
torney Thomas j. Kenney asked.
(This apparently was a reference
to the late Jimmy La Fontaine,
one-time Washington area
gambling kingpin0 The witness
insisted he had visited the
Bladensburg road address, which
other witnesses have linked to
Beard.
Says He Lost $500.
Mitchell L. Griffin, colored, 442
Luray place NV, Washington,
for whom a bench warrant was
issued yesterday, appeared volun-
tarily today and testified he lost
$700 to Beard in 1914. He said
he would rather not say whether
he ever won any money from
Beard, because lit might tend to
incriminate me-"
do you mean it might get you
in trouble with the income tax
people?" Mr.. Kenney asked.
"All mean is, I don't want to
say because it might tend to in
criminate me-" Mr.. Griffin re-
piled.
The Governments final wit
ness, E. Russell Kennedy, jr.,
took the stand shortly before
noon today to begin testimony
about Boards assets and how
they grew during the years 1914
through 1947. The defense law
yers objected strenuously that
some of the figures he was Civ
ing had been changed and
therefore should not be used, but
Chief Federal Judge William c.
Coleman denied a motion to have
the figures thrown out.

Corning Urges
Congress 10
Speed Schools
CoIls Crowding
And ObsoIescence
Shocking Anywhere

School Supt. Hobart M. Corn
ing has laid before Congress an
urgent" need for construction
of more schools here, under a
more rapid building schedule
than that slated in the city's
public works program.
Testifying yesterday before a
House Education subcommittee,
DR.. Corning said that, even un-
der present conditions, by which
he evidently meant integration,"
overcrowding, obsolete and in
complete plants would be shock
ing in any American city"
"It is particularly disturbing
to find them in the Nations
Capital" he declared.
DR.. Corning was one of many
witnesses from many parts of
the country called by the sub
committee to outline construc-
ton needs for classrooms.
Local Difficulties Cited.
Subcommittee Chairman n
Kearns. Republican, of Pennsyl-
vania, drew from DR.. Corning an
outline of the difficulties of
financing the school construction
program here.
The legislator, a member of the
House District Committee, ex-
planned a bill he had introduced
for Federal aid to school con-
struction included the District
along with the States and Ter
ritories.
Hearings by the Kearns sub
committee of the House Educa-
tion and Labor Committee, he
emphasized are not directed at
any one bill, but are intended to
determine the national needs for
school construction. New legis-
lation is expected to be prepared
by the subcommittee.
Unmet needs of school con-
struction in the District were
listed at more than $24 million,
according to a telegram from the
District Commissioners.
DR.. Corning broke this down in
his testimony as $6,821 1850 sub
mitted by the Board of Education
to the District Commissioners in
the 1856 budget for IL projects,
and $18,828,90O for 33 projects
in a list for future construction.
He filed a detailed report OF
these projects for the record.
DR.. Corning urged that Con-
gress appropriate our own taxes
back to lis" to help speed up
the school building program.
Warns of Lateness.
Declaring that the Public
Works Program is scheduled for
completion in eight years, the
superintendent said sit is quite
obvious that the providing of
school housing in some areas
of the city will be entirely too
late to prevent either serious
hardship to the children or un-
favorable community reactions,
or both"
Washington is behind in school
buildings, he testified, because of
the backlog of unmet needs from
war years, insufficient annual
appropriations made by Con-
gress," the rapid growth of the
city and shifting of population,
with construction of many large
housing developments.
Overcrowding, he said, is
shown in 953 oversize classes,
most of which are in the ele-
mentary schools. There are 113
substandard classrooms, he said,
64 of which are in the elemen-
tary grades.
Three old buildings, described
as completely obsolete" and
unfit for school purposes, were
named as Seaton Elementary
School, built in 1871; Stevens
Elementary, 1868, and Shaw
Junior High School, 1902.
