Powell Forced Traub
To Pay S1t,864De
Testimony Charges

Existence of an s11.864 check
allegedly paid out by a New York
attorney and businessman to
cover a race bookie debt owed
by Clyde Powell, was revealed
yesterday in the U, S. District
Court for the District of Co
lumbia
The check allegedly was made
out by Abraham Traub OF New
York. a lawyer and head OF a
real estate firm, according to
court testimony. Mr.. Powell is
former assistant commissioner OF
the Federal Housing Adminis-
tration.
The financial transaction came
to light during arguments on a
motion by attorneys for Mr..
Traub, who has been a witness
before a Federal grand jury. The
jury, since last October. has been
investigating scandals in the
FILA.
Wants Questioning Curbed.
Counsel for Mr.. Traub asked
Judge F. Dickinson Let's to for
bid further questioning of Mr..
Traub by the grand jury. The
request was based on the alle-
CATION that the jury is aiming to
indict him and that the ques-
tioning infringed on his right
against standardization. Judge
Let's said he would rule on the
issue next Monday.
During the proceedings. an
attorney for Mr.. Traub, J. Bert
ram Wegman. testified that he
was told of the check by Max
Goldschein, Justice Department
attorney in charge of the FILA
probe. Mr.. Goldschein men,
toned it in attempts to get Mr..
Traub to cooperate with the
grand jury and tell what he
knows about Powell's dealings,
Mr.. Wegman declared.
During croSs-examination by
Mr.. Goldschein. Mr.. Wegman
admitted saying that Powell
held gun at Mr.. Traub's
back in order to get the check.
But the witness explained he
did not mean literally that q
gun was held.
Says Payoff Necessary.
Earlier, Robert Rosthal. spe-
cial assistant to the Attorney
General now assisting Mr.. Gold
schein, testified that Mr.. Veg
man had told him and Mr..
Goldschein that. all New York
building projects had to pay off
Powell before doing business
with FILA.
The lawyers took turns on the
witness stand and in cross ex-
amining each other. At one
point, Mr.. Goldschein began to
fire questions at himself. The
function of questioner soon was
taken over by Mr.. Roschal.
At issue was a contention by
Attorney Arthur Sheinberg. an
other of Mr.. Traub's lawyers.
that Mr.. Goldschein had indi-
Gated he was out to indict and
convict Mr.. Traub.
This statement was corrobo-
rated by Mr.. Wegman. But Mr..
Goldschein vigorously denied the
allegation and was supported
in his denial by Mr.. Roschal.

In the report, drafted by a

by President Colgate w. Darden,
jr.. are neither adequate nor
useful for most of the students.
It would be better to wait until
