Commissioners
Push Plan for
Aiding Disabled

District Commissioners are
considering proposals for ex-
panSion of the city's vocational
rehabilitation program and

Commissioner Karrick said
in a radio interview last night
that two additional classes of

l. Persons in institutions
who by rehabilitation can
achieve independent living so
as to dispense with institution
care"
2. Rehabilitation service for
those at home so they can dis

expand the service" said Com
missioner Karrick, lis a con-

Frequently during such a
lapse of time, the disability

Commissioner Karrick said
the most serious problem fac

Foreign Aid
Cited in Plea
For JobIess
By the Associated Press

Senator Mccarthy, Democrat
Of Minnesota, said yesterday
persistent unemployment at
home has raised new opposi-
ton to President EisenhoWer's S
foreign aid program.
Senator Mccarthy said he
based this conclusion on testi-
mony at hearings around the
country by a special Senate
subcommittee on unemployment
which he heads.
His statement said a concen-
trated and systematic attack
on areas of joblessness in this
country is essential.
American citizens who have
been experiencing months of
unemployment because their
skills are not wanted or because
they live in areas of economic
blight fail to understand Why
the United States Government
attaches a higher priority to
relieving human misery in a
foreign country than it does
at home," Senator Mccarthy
said.
Unless the Federal Govern
ment gives prompt attention to
the many distressed areas in
this country. it is certain to
experience even greater diff
Guilty than last year in getting
Congressional approval for the
foreign aid program"

gator for the Truman Senate
investigating committee. Mr..
Truman gave a deposition in
Connelly's behalf during the
trial.
Blast by Truman
In Boston last September 10,
speaking at a Embarrassing din
ner for his former secretary
Mr.. Truman accused the Eli
Senhower administration of
"hounding to death" some OF
the officials who served under
him.
I'm here to tell you that
I'm going to keep after them
until justice is done to this
fellow" the former President
said. pointing to Connolly.
The dinner produced about
S120,000 for Connelly's legal
expenses.
Earlier, in an unsuccessful
plea for probation or reduction
of sentence. Connolly disclosed
he was deeply in debt. Caudle
said he was almost bankrupt
With Judge Hulen dead, Fed
eral District Judge Gunnar H
Nordbye of Minnesota was as
signed to the case and imposed
sentence. The United States
9th Circuit Court of Appeals, in
one of its numerous rulings in
the case, rejected a defense
claim that Judge Nordbye was
unqualified because he was not
present at the trial.
Once before, when the Su-
preme Court refused for a Sec
ond time to review the case. it
appeared that time had run
out on Caudle and Connolly.
Claimed New Evidence
But they claimed new evil
dence and once more asked for
a new trial. The evidence they
advanced was an affidavit by
Schwimmer, the former CO.
defendant.
Schwimmer Swore a memo
randum from his files, used as
evidence against Caudle and
Connolly, was made without
the knowledge of either.
Judge Nordbye rejected the
request for a new trial, calling
Schwimmer an admitted per-
jurer and arch conspirator.
1T seems inconCeivable. "
Judge Nordbye said, that the
additional evidence of one who
spawned the scheme to corrupt
Government officials could have
any weight in producing a ver-
dict other than that which was
returned by the jury"
The Court Of Appeals upheld
Judge Nordbye. 1t is this ruling
that Caudle and Connolly
asked the Supreme Court to re-
view in petitions filed just be-
fore Christmas.

early life could have organized

ture of all life.
Some day, some chemist may
actually succeed in creating liv-
ing cells and starting a new
form of primitive life, DR.. Fox
said.
Of his own work, he says:
AT the most. such expert

how life began. At the least
they provide a broad basis for

in their long battle to stay out

1t has been a losing fight so
Tar. And the two Truman ad-
ministration officials have
about exhausted their legal
moves.

tice Departments tax division,
he held veto power over prose-
cutlon of accused Federal in
come tax evaders throughout

caudle. now a lawyer in his
home town of Wadesboro, N. c.,

were convicted by a Federal
jury in st. Louis June II, 1856.
The jury of eight men and
four women deliberated for nine
hours and took several ballots
before reaching a decision that
Caudle and Connolly accepted
oil royalties in exchange for
using their influence to block
prosecution or ease the sentence
for Irwin Sachs, a St. Louis shoe
wholesaler and tax evader.
Sachs was fined S40,0 900 but
did not go to prison.
Took Strange Turn
The alleged "fixer" in the
case was Harry I. Schwimmer.

dicted with Caudle and Con-
nelly but was granted a mis-
trial when he collapsed with
heart ailment at the start of
their trial. He was not brought

tory experiments to determine
how life on earth might have
begun originally.
BY scientific theory, man
evolved from primitive glim-
merings of life which first be-
gan perhaps two billion years
ago.
But perhaps life was not just
a onetime thing. Dr.. Fox says,
Although we can with cer-
tainty say only that life arose
at least once. there is increasing
reason to believe that it is pos
sible or even inevitable in many
places at many times" DR. Fox
said in a report to the American
Association for the Advance
ment of Science.
Scientists Open Meeting
The AAAS today opened a
siX-dav national meeting, tC

many different fields of science
Would this new life be strik-
ingly different from forms
present today?
The new units of life might
be SO much like the lineal de-
scendantS of the earliest life
that we couldn't tell. DR.
Fox says.
Dr.. Fox and associates find
that heat could be one Of the
key clements in forming COM
pleX protein materials which
began living. carrying on life
processes and reproducing
themselves.
Hot springs or warm areas
under the sea floor could pro-
vide such conditions now, he
thinks. Widely separated hot
springs are known to have SIM
liar types of certain bacteria
and blue-green algae.
The Beginnings of Life
Life is thought to have begur
when proteins were formed out
of simple building blocks knoWr
as amino acids. 1t is proteiny
which make up flesh, muscle
and chemical regulators of life
DR.. Fox and associates triec
to produce proteins by heatine
18 different amino acids which
are common to all proteins.
Heat usually destroys amino
acids, turning them into {
maSSy tar.
But heat of even more thar
300 degrees produced protein
like material when the Florida
