Former Union Agent
Says He Gave Lowry
About Half Of $1,000

Archie B. Moore, former bust
ness agent of the painters
union, today told of receiving
an envelope containing $1,000
from Robert Minte, Washington
contractor.
Mr.. Moore said he opened the
envelope and handed either $500
or S600-he could not recall
which-to Clayton Lowry, former
secretary-treasurer Of the union.
Told of Transaction
Yesterday Mr.. Minte testified
he put $1,000 in an envelope in
August, 1852, while in a room
August, 1852, while in a room
with Lowry and Mr.. Moore.
But, Mr.. Minte said, he did
not recall who actually took the
money. The contractor testi-
fed at the trial of Lowry, who
is accused of violating a pro-
vision of the Taft-Hartley Act.
The proceedings are under way
in the U. S.>District Court for the
District of Columbia.
The Taft-Hartley law forbids
payments of money from an en-
ployer of labor to a labor union
representative.
Second Trial
The trial is the second for
Lowry on the same charge. The
original trial wound up in mis-
trial Monday when prejudicial
statements were made before the
jury.
Several months ago, Lowry
was convicted of extorting money
from contractors. Sentence is
pending in that case.
Judge Edward M. Curran is
presiding at the current trial.
Prosecutor E. Riley Casey is
representing the Government.
Charles e. Ford is defense at
torney.

A House subcommittee broke
down under questioning by col
lege boys today and admitted
it was a pretty wonderful sub
committee.
Chairman Hebert of Louisiana
told IA students of government
and their instructor from Wes-
leyan University that the In
vestigating Subcommittee of the
Armed Services Committee al
ways had used hearing rules so
exemplary that the whole House
adopted them last week.
He also told the students, whose
questions indicated their knowl-
edge of investigating commit
tees derived mainly from Sena-
tor McCarthy's, that his sub
committee at no time lever
operated along a partisan basis. :"
1--WE never sit as Democrats
and Republicans here" he said,
as his colleagues nodded their
agreement.
Nor are they like other COM
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1955-03-30

that occasionally other commit
tees get into their territory. Mr..
Hebert put it tactfully when he
said that ''if there are no juris-
dictional fights there are GER
tainly jurisdictional feelings"
His committee had managed
