Whether the payroll deduction

Many of the major Federal

these companies with having
scuttled the administrations

plan through their wrangles over
who would get the lions share

$4,000 Libel Suit
Filed by Policemen
|Aquinst NAACP

The National Association for
the Advancement Of Colored
People today was named as
defendant in a $4,000 libel suit
brought by a Metropolitan
policeman. Eugene Davidson
president of the District NAACF
also is a defendant.
The suit was filed in District
Court here by Attorney Paul
Lee Sweeny representing Police
Pvt. James E. Barnes.
Pvt. Barnes last October
was acquitted of manslaughtei
charges in connection with the
fatal shooting of a colored truck
driver during an argument while
the policeman was directing
traffic, Pvt. Barnes had claimed
f-defense, asserting that the
driver had grabbed his night
stick and threatened him with it
The libel complaint is based
on 8 telegram allegedly sent
Police Chief Murray by the
NAACP which, among other
things, demanded Pvt. Barnes
removal from the force.

posted in a bank. Later, he
withdrew the money in $40 bills

Mr.. KravitZ. He said he was
supposed also to pay $500 a week
for II weeks, money which pre-
Sumably was to be passed along

that this latter demand was SUBJ
sequently withdrawn.
Law Suit Threatened
MIR. Leider said he was un-
able to keep UP payments on the
$4,000 loan and that Herman
Kravitz threatened him with a
law suit. He told the investi-
gator that he was still trying to
pay back the money.
Earlier, joey Abrams, who re-
portedly obtained a large Army
uniform contract in the early
1950s, continued his testimony
and invoked the Fifth Amend
'ment dozen times on questions
involving the contracts and his
alleged purchase of over Sc mil
lion in bonds.
The investigating Senators in
dictated today they would seek
contempt citations against the
contractors whom they accused
of invoking the Fifth Amend
ment "capriclously."
Abrams, who was to resume
his testimony today. refused tc
answer so questions put to him
yesterday by the Senate Investi-
eating Subcommittee on grounds
that answers might tend to in
criminate him or pave the way
to other questions that might
put him in jeopardy.
Citations Against Two Urged

imended citations against two for
mer associates of Abrams. Muir

ened its chance of passage in
Congress this year. The health
groups have bombarded Capitol
Hill with protests over the plan.
csc officials are exploring the
possibility of adding a payroll
deduction feature to the plan for
protecting Federal employees and
their families against the cost
of long. expensive illnesses.
While the major health bene-
fits would be provided free to
Federal workers and their fami-
lies, the payroll deduction fea-
ture would be added for employees
already enrolled in basic private
health insurance programs.
The private health groups have

their agencies to withhold from
their salary checks their regular
payments for basic health insur-

purchase in the future.
Payroll Deductions
The tentative proposal for a
payroll deduction feature now
being explored by the csc would
not provide for any Government
contribution to basic health in
Surance policies held by Federal
workers. 1t presumably would
aid private health insurance
groups by saving them the
trouble of making individual
collections. The companies have
complained that lack of a payroll
deduction system has increased
