Bennett S Job Form
Could Be Marked by
Another, Expert Says

Ira Gullickson, police hand
writing expert, today testified
that a disputed check mark
could have been made by a per-
son other than Thomas Browne
Bennett.
Mr.. Gullickson's testimony
came during the trial of Mr..
Bennett on charges of making
false statements in a 1851 Fed
eral job application.
Mr.. Bennett is charged with
falsely indicating he was never
a member of the Communist
Party nor a member of a Com
munist organization. He also is
accused of miSStating an answer
to a question involving foreign
travel. He is a veteran of the
Abraham Lincoln Brigade Of
American volunteers who fought
Franco in the Spanish civil war.
Says U. S. Employe Made Mark.
Mr.. Bennett has asserted that
he first checked "yes" to the
question as to Communist Party
membership. He said an en-
ploye of the old Federal Security
Agency where he was filling out
the application remarked the
answer must be in error. The
defendant has testified the en-
ploye then eradicated the check
mark and substituted another
one in the mo" box.
The Government has pro-

duced testimony that Mr.. Ben
nett himself made the second
check mark.
Mr.. Gullickson testified that
the check marks used through
out the application were Of an
ordinary type and said he could
not testify with any degree Of
certainty whether they all were
made by one person or by a
number Of persons.
Denies Membership.
Mr.. Bennett yesterday denied
on the witness stand that he was
ever a member of the Com
munist Party.
HIS denial. in the q. s. Dis
trict Court for the District of
Columbia, came in answer to
questions by his attorney. Josiah
Lyman.
Mr.. Bennett also told Of join
ing the Abraham Lincoln Bri-
gade.
He saw action, he said, and
was wounded twice.
Tells Of Passport Factory
He told how he uncovered a
Soviet-operated passport fac
tory, which turned out American
passports by the score. When an
officials back was turned. he
recounted, he stuffed some of the
forged passports In his pocket
and later turned them over to
an American military attache at
the United States Consulate in
Valencia, Spain, in 1887.
For this, he said. he was pur-
sued by Communist gunmen to
the consulate, where he was
given refuge and eventually put
aboard a ship for France.

But residents have not as yet

they did after the hurricanes.

Plans for the ditch along the

have begged down In q Inisun-

Mr.. Nagel." Mr.. Pritchett said,
wants US TO be responsible for
any damage that may ensue due
to an undermining overflow or
breaking Of the ditch. :
The engineer contends these
demands are too broad and that
they would be binding forever on
the commission.
Mr.. Nagel has answered. how
ever, that he has no objections
TO the ditch II the commission is
willing to be responsible for its
work. The commission should
have put the ditch in right from
the start he said.

Will Seek
Z. $. Deputies
For Hospital

The Commissioners today de-
cided to ask the United States
Marshal II he win supply depu-
ties around the clock to guard
the locked ward housing Federal
prisoners at District General
Hospital.
The city heads again deferred
action on using the locked ward
until they can get 4 decision on
guarding it. Meanwhile. the
prisoners are housed In the open
and unguarded ward Of the hos!
|pital.
Commissioner Robert e. Me-
|Laughlin pressed for q decision
today but Commissioner Samuel
Spencer said he didn't think the
Commissioners were ready to
act until the question Of guard
ling was settled.
Five guards would be needed
Ito man the ward around the
clock, including days on and
week ends. Commissioner Nc
|Laaghlin said the guard would
he statiOned outside the locked
double doors.
Smaller Staff Allowed
Mr.. Mclaughlin said that, with
the 24-hour guard, the ward
could run on q smaller stan than
had previously been proposed.
ne said the ward would stiii need
the psychiatric team Of PSYCHE
Iatric, psychologist and social
workers. but that this team would
also work on other wards Of the
|psycf1iatric division.
In addition to this team, he
said. with q 24-i1our guard the
ward could operate with one
nurse and three or four attends
ants. The nurse would be on
duty only in the daytime to give
whatever medication was re-
CURED and to observe the con-
duct Of the prisoners. One Of
the points made In getting mem
tai examinations conducted at
the hospital rather than the jan
was that 24-hour observation
would uncover attempts to feign
mental illness.
The marshal probably would
have to clear with the Justice
Department before any decision
was made on supplying deputies
ito the hospital.
On some occasions when Fed
ieral prisoners have been ii 4
hospital. deputies have been as
signed to guard them. There
have also been times when depu-
tiles n some localities were asked
Ito help local jurisdictions guard
Federal prisoners lodged In in-
ISScuIS JdllS.
Other Prospects Discouraged
The prospect Of either the De-
Ipartment Of Corrections or the
Police Department providing the
guards was promptly discour-
aged by officials Of those depart
|ments.
Corrections Director Donald
|Clemmer said he did not think
it would be legally correct for
his guards to 60 on duty at the
hospital because the prisoners
committed to the hospital were
mot under his jurisdiction. He
added that he was too Short
handed, anyhow.
Police Chief Robert v. Murray
said he was very reluctant" q
take any men OF the street. u
fact. he said. his department II
constantly studying means Of
replacing policemen on inside
Jobs with civilians to get every
man possible on the street.

Next Year With Engineers Help

| floor drains that were permitted
under building regulations OF
earlier days.
Fortunately for Edmonston. as
well as for many other towns Of
metropolitan Prince Georges
along the Anacostia river. the
flood control project win bring
an end TO the threat Of swirling,
mucky waters.
Major Step Completed
A major step Ia the program
already has been completed In
1.-THE Edmonston area. This In
Ivolved the digging OF q straight
channel parallel to Taylor road
for the Anacostia's Northeast
branch so that waters would
now directly and more rapidly
tout Of the area.
High levees have been built on
each side Of the branch to retain
rising waters. A higher bridge
now under construction at De-
catur street win let high water
pass under 1t.
In addition, the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission
win dig drainage bitches on the
outer sides Of the levees TO
carry on water flowing into the
area from surrounding hills. Il
"A settling basin viii be exca-
waited between Taylor street and
the west levee just north Of De-
Icatur street to catch storm
waters from Hyattsyille. A
pumping station at the basin win
pump this water into the branch
and keep the basin at q con-
slant level.
Road Work Blamed
Army engineers are counting
on these measures to rid Ednon-
iston forever Of flood problems.
At least some homes In Ed
lnonston, those near the towns
eastern boundary along Ed
gmonston road. have been saved
until this last Summer from
floods because of their higher
elevation. But that was before
