Grimm Sets Early Pace
Two Washington D. c. track

Grimm started from the 18th

the center of the track as the
leader.
After the second lap. however,
he was in fourth place But he
took the lead again in the third
lap and held it momentarily.

the pack of other contestants
who streaked toward the finish
line.
Deadly never was in contention
and finally dropped out. The race
was won by Jerome Walters.

set a new meet record of Bats.
Back to Sine, today he was
formally scratched from the
200-meter dash, the event in
which he was given special grace
to run here. The l9-year-old
youngster from Fair Lawn. N. j..
pulled. groin muscle in the
NCAA at Berkeley and failed to
qualify for the 200 tryouts.
Slime watched the tryouts come
to an end this afternoon in street
clothes.
Certainly. he was bitterly dis

Lewis disclosed that Slime was

the Sanger, Calf. meet earlier
this month. when he ran the

record breaking time.
Possibly, they figure now. it
was a mistake to try the 200 at
Berkeley in view OF Shines com

pressure is exerted on the groin
muscles.

BY Dr.. White

DR.. Paul Dudley White, Bos-
ton cardiologist, and medical adj
wiser to the President. last night
asked for Q greatly expanded re-
search program in the field Of
heart disease.
The doctor spoke to about $50
persons at the United States
Naval Medical Center In Be-
thesda. He said such q program
would cost money, but he urged
that it be spent.
Earlier, DR.. White. speaking in
Baltimore, said increasing high
blood pressure and coronary
heart disease has made the
United States one of the most
unhealthy countries in the
world.
DR.. White was guest Of honor

Modern living conditions go
hand in hand with high rates
Of heart disease. preliminary re-
search indicates, DR.. White said.
He called this the bad news
about heart disease which he

was the target Of "a Democratic

The Senator answered:
1T was either an attempt to
bride some one who they thought
was on my committee or it wa,
an attempt to smear"
Asked II he thought those to
whom Hughes allegedly gave

ridiculous.
They were too smart to be
taken in by things like that.
This should give Americans ar
idea Of what happens to anyone
who tries to dig out Communists.
Senator Mccarthy was asked
for comment about Murrey Mar

Mr.. Rauh. Said Senator Nc.

HAT NOT IN RING,
SAYS

NEW YORK Ex-senator
Mccarthy. Republican Of
Wisconsin, said yesterday he
doesn't know Just yet whom
he'll support for President
this year-but he said he
personally won't seek the
job.
Reporters made inquiries
on the Senator's political
sentiments after he had tes-
titled in o court case here.
When asked whom he would
back" for the presidency,
he replied:
1T is too early yet. I have
q number of candidates in
mind. I may give my full
hearted support to q num-
Der of them"
Then he added, with en-
phasis, that he personally
would not be q candidate.

somebody. because Of my greatei
experience" Mr.. Fritchey hal
q background Of considerable
newspaper experience.
He said Hughes told him al
the home OF Gen. Mara that he
had resigned from the Air Force
in 1858 and after failing to OBJ
tain q job as investigator with
tn Central Intelligence Agency
he then applied to the Mccarthy
subcommittee and was taken on
after being thoroughly investi-
gated.
Mr.. Fritchey said Hughes told
him that during the six month,
he had worked with the Nc
Carthy committee he had be.
come more and more alarmed
at what he heard and saw was
going on"
Hughes told him, Mr.. Fritchey
added. that it appeared to him
the Mccarthy subcommittee was
taking greater and greater
chances: that there were illegal
activities. intimidation. illegal
payments to witnesses, and OBJ
tanning secret Government docu-
ments for money"
The witness also said Hughes
told him the Mccarthy subcom-
Imittee was receiving large
amounts Of money for private
Investigations Of communism
which appeared to 60 into the
private pockets Of people rather
than being diverted to the pur-
poses for which it was col
lected."
Mr.. Fritchey said Hughes hac
been very careful not to ever
be very specific and that Hughes
never mailed" anything down.
Mr.. Fritchey added that. al
the first meeting with Hughes
the latter described in detail the
physical setup Of the Mccarthy
subcommittee Offices and gave
the impression he was quite
familiar with the layout.
Much of the material Hughes
submitted to Mr.. Rauh contained
countless references to 1.-THE
general" and the generals
wife" to whom Hughes had
ascribed the code names of "Yal<
and Ewing" according to Mr.
Fritchey. The reference waI
to Gen. Mara and his wife.
Hughes had told Mr.. Rauh
Mr.. Fritchey said, that the gen.
eral was in his confidence and
the general and his wife had
typed up for him from tape
recordings a 94-page bound
folio containing reports on al
legged illegal activities and Law
violations by Senator Mccarthy
and the senator's committee.

with Mr.. Rauh.
The prosecution says Mr.
Rauh. after getting information
supplied by Hughes, tried to in
terest the Washington Post In
publishing the material. After
q check of the information the
newspaper turned it down.
Mr.. Wechsler was another wit
ness in the trial. Hughes mas
claimed that Mr.. Wechsler was
among those who discussed with
Mr.. Rauh the financing OF
Matusow. Mr.. Wechsler has de-
MED the allegation.
Mr.. Erdmann asked Senator
Mccarthy what he knew Of the
reputation Of Mr.. Wechsler fol
truth and honesty.
I'D say" replied Senator Nc.
Carthy. mot quite as bad as
Rauh. but he's not got a repu.
Itation for truthfulness."
Memo Labeled Forgery
While on the stand, Senator
Mccarthy branded as a forgery
Ia copy Of what Hughes had rep.
resented to be an inter-office
memorandum dealing with secret
information about q United
States air base at Dhahran
Saudi Arabia.
Hughes purportedly told Mr.
Rauh he had made q copy oil
this document from the Original
memorandum in the Mccarthy
committee private files.
Mr.. Erdmann then asked Sen.
ator Mccarthy about the Wash.

Dawson sustained the objection
saying. This is not a politicaI

Outside the courtroom before
he took the stand, Senator Nc.
Carthy told newsmen he though,
the Hughes case had exposed 1
conspiracy by Mr.. Rauh and
others to smear him, but "the
thieves fell out"
Hughes, Senator McCarthy
told reporters, was part Of q

part Of Senator Mccarthy OF
any legal violations.
The editor said he told Hughes
also that the material at that
point was not sufficient for pub
LEGATION. Hughes indicated dis
appointment. But, said Mr..
Virgins:
II pointed out to Mr.. Hughes
and Mr.. Rauh that we had q
serious responsibility to our
readers and to the owners Of our
paper and that we could not
use it."
Lawyer Concurred
Mr.. Virgins said the papers

CURED in the view after hearing
Hughes and examining his ma
terial the next day.
He said they suggested to
Hughes that If he came across
any real important or vital in
formation he could bring it to
them.
After Mr.. Virgins completed
his direct testimony. he was
cross-examined by Defense Coun-
sci Erdmann.
Mr.. Erdmann stated that Mr.,
Virgins had told Hughes the
Post and Times Herald would
have nothing to do with him as
long as he was a member Of the
Mccarthy staff. Then the de-
tense attorney asked:
yet. you say you told him he
could come to you with addi-
tional information?"
Mr.. Virgins replied:
1--WE told Mr. Hughes that If
he brought us anything Of a
criminal nature we would have
to go to the Department of
Justice with it before we would
do anything else"
wouldn't Take Everything
! Mr.. Erdmann then asked If
Mr.. Virgins had not thought 1t
would have been prudent to take
| Hughes original material to the
| Department Of Justice.
II think" Mr.. Virgins de-
clared. that the average citi-
zen has some responsibility to
evaluate information instead Of
running to the Department Of
Justice with every idle rumor
brought to him"
Mr.. Erdmann then asked
whether he considered the
Hughes story as idle rumor and
the witness replied:
II found no violation Of any
