Mr.. Icardi was brought to court
after the Government ran out
of possibilities of trying him for
the New York majors death.
He went on trial on Monday in
the U. S. District Court for the
District of Columbia. The indict-
ment's basis was the answers he
gave in 1858 before a House
Armed Services subcommittee.

The Eisenhower administration
was faced today by new chal-
lenge in the farm bill tug-of-war
with the Democratic : controlled
Congress.
In move patiently designed tc
sidetrack President Eisenhower

the House will vote Wednesday
on an appropriations committee
proposal to spend $1.2 billion this
year on an expanded soil-con-
servation program that could be
carried out under existing law
and aim at the same detectives
sought by the President.
Operative Over 20 Years
The Committee voted the fund
yesterday in hastily-called
meeting. explaining in a report
to the House that the President
already has the authority to in
stitute the soil bank program
under the Soil Conservation and
Domestic Allotment Act. This
measure has been operative more
than 20 years. Consequently, the
committee held. the President
does not need the new law he
asked for in vetoing the omnibus
farm bill Monday.
This stand upheld the conten-
ton of some House and Senate
Democrats who have argued
against new legislation.
Secretary of Agriculture Ben
son has insisted that present law
is inadequate for the soil-bank
program now contemplated.
The Secretary described the
proposed appropriation as a
gold brick" and said it would
not help the farmers.
Uncertain About Law

was not prepared today to spell
out the reasons why the old law
could not be used. The Solicit

The District Commissioners
had strongly urged Mr.. Remon's
reappointment, but various other
groups have been plugging for
appointment of an architect or

Mr.. Remon also is chairman

He has clashed head-on with

split has occurred because OF
criticism that Mr.. Remon has
failed to give enough considera-

votes. Mr.. Remon. however. has
retaliated that some members
have failed to face practical re-
alities on some issues.

is the principal agency dealing

The District Court decision
which freed Aldo Icardi of per-
jury in a 1914 cloak-and- dagger
murder was called outrageous
judicial incompetence" on Capitol
Hill today.
Mr.. Icardi, 35. returned to his
wife and five children in Pitts
burgh yesterday. beaming over
the judgment by Judge Rich
mond B. Keech here.
Dismissal of the six-count
perjury indictment, the nudge
said, is tantamount to acquittal
and he directed the jury to re-
turn a formal verdict of not
guilty. Mi. Icardi was accused
OF lying to a House Armed Serv-
ices Subcommittee three years
ago when he denied any part in
the intrigue laden Staying of
OSS Maj. William v. Hollohan

Charges Interference
From the Capitol Representa-
tive w. Sterling Cole. Republican
of New York, said the District
Court ruling was IAN arrogant
and defiant interference with
proper legislative procedure. :
Mr.. Cole headed the subcommit-
tee which questioned Mr. Icardi.
Angered not only by the deci-
sion. but by Judge Keech's ques-
tioning Of the propriety of the
subcommittee report. the New
Yorker said that if one man is

He said he plans to discuss the
courts ruling with the House
leadership.
He wants to learn, he said. II
others share what he said was
his view that the ruling was an
arbitrary usurpation by the
judiciary Of the functioning of
Congress.

was charged merely with perjury
but he went on trial before public
opinion as a murder engineer.

sentative Written, Democrat OF
Mississippi, a hacker of the
House plan, has admitted that

RetOrt to G. o. p. Charges
In a seemingly oblique retort
to administration charges that
the Democrats have delayed ac-
ton or the soil bank and made
il difficult for farmers to benefit
this year. the Appropriations
Committee report said:
THE Committee would point
out that the Department of Agrl-
culture has had and now has
authority to conduct such pro-
gram under the Soil Conserva-
ton and Domestic Allotment
Act. originally enacted in 1885
However, the Secretary of Agri-
culture has not made use Of such
act nor has the President rec
commended funds for its imple-
mentation. despite declining
farm income during the past
three years"
Veto Is Criticized
The report also criticized the
Presidents veto Of the omnibus
farm bill. The bill included q
SIP billion soil bank plan that
was tied to crop price-support
provisions which the administra
ton had fought.
The Agriculture Department
has been spending about S25(
million annually for soil-puhd-
ing practices under the 1885 law
