Soviet spy doomed by blood
cancer to death within a year,
is free in 100000 bail pending
an appeal from his sentence
to life Imprisonment.
United States Commissioner
Earle N. Bishopp approved the
bail bond yesterday. Govern
ment counsel appealed the rul-
ing, but Federal Judge Richard
H. Levet upheld Commissioner
Bishopp.
Last Friday. DR.. Soblen's
wife Dina attempted to have
him freed by posting 100000
in Government bonds as COL
lateral in addition to $4,000
cash.
However, the Government
questioned her right to act as
surety for the $4,000 in bonds,
since they had been loaned to
her by a friend, Mrs. Helen L.
Buttenweiser, a lawyer.
Mrs. Buttenweiser testified
yesterday that she was lending
the $4,000 in bonds "out of my
own free will"

ORAN, Algeria, Aug. 90 (AP) .
"A 6 pm. curfew was ordered
for teen-agers today following
a night of wild rioting against
MoslemS and police. Six Al
gerians were killed and 80 in
jured.
The youthful mob swept
through the city to avenge the
death of a 17-year-old Euro
Ipean killed by rebel terrorists
Saturday and an 18-year-old
victim of the nationalist rebels.
Moslems were dragged from
vehicles and beaten with clubs
and bottles. Riot police charged
the youths, who retreated, re-
grouped and resumed their at
tackS on MoSlems and their
property. Order was finally re-
stored late in the evening.
Bombs Explode
During the rioting two plas-
tic bombs-the type often used
by European extremists-ex-
ploded, adding to the confu-
sion. They caused damage but
no casualties.
In Bone, in Eastern Algeria.
two MoSlems were reported
stabbed by terrorists. One vic
tim was second deputy to the
Mayor.
Grams new violence broke
out after the funeral of jean
Paul Renault, shot down by
terrorists Saturday. Added in
cltement was news that an
other youth. identified as En-
manuel Sanchez, was killed. It
was the worst violence Oran
has seen in weeks.
Bus Is StOrmed
All over town groups of Eu-
ropeans, mainly youths. assem-
bled for the march on Moslem
quarters. When hastily thrown
cordonS of gendarmes and riot
police blocked their passage,
they marched to the city CEN
ter, attacking any Moslems
they met and hurting bricks
through the windows of Mos
lem-owned shops.
A bus carrying several Mos
lens was stopped and carried
by storm. Running gendarmes
arrived just in time to save
the passengers as they were
dragged out into the street.
In a nearby street, the mob
dragged two MoSlems from the
cab of a soft drink delivery
truck. The truck, left driver
less, crashed into the. front of
a building. Again gendarmes
saved the two MoslemS as the
mob was beating them with
clubs.

Thomas F. Kelly, ST.. head OF
a big Chicago race wire service
took the Fifth Amendment
today when asked whether he
so intimidated an employe that
the man tried to commit suicide
rather than testify before Sen
ate crime investigators.
Mr.. Kelly told the Senate
Investigations Subcommittee
that answers to this and prac-
tically every question asked of
him might tend to incriminate
him.
A big, balding man with a
fringe of gray hair, Mr.. Kelly
sat impassively at the witness
table as the subcommittee
heard testimony that the en-
ploye. Frank w. Lyons. took an
overdose of sleeping tablets
Saturday.
Police Sergt. Lawrence j.
English of the Chicago suburb
of Arlington Heights testified
that Mr.. Lyons is still too i'll to
be interviewed but that Mrs.
Lyons told him her husband
had been driven by intimida-
ton to a suicide attempt.
Told to Take the Fifth
Sergt. English said Mrs.
Lyons mentioned no names,
but had informed him that
those he works with told him
to take the Fifth"
He said this meant Mr..
Lyons was pressured TO invoke
the Fifth Amendment and re-
fuse to testify in the hearings.
Mr.. Lyons had been subpoenaeo
for questioning about Mr..
Kelly's race wire operations.
Though apparently unmoved
by Sergt. English's testimony,
Mr.. Kelly glared in red-faced
anger at some of the con-
temptuous questions flung at
him by Senator Mcclellan,
Democrat Of Arkansas, the sub
committee chairman.
Senator Mcclellan said that

Selective Service Director
Lewis B. Hershey has asked his
deputy to get the facts in the
case of a Miami draft boards
denial of draft deferment to
a controversial Peace Corps
trainee, a Selective Service
spokesman said today.
Gen. Hershey acted after a
telegram from Americans for
Democratic Action urging re-
moval of the Miami draft board
chairman on grounds he in
jected personal political bias
into statements concerning
denial of the deferment.
A Selective Service spokes-
man here said the director
lacked authority to make an
investigation of a local chair
man in this type of case but
could collect the facts with a
view to appealing the decision
after the man and his employer
the Peace Corps-have ex-
hauSted their appeal remedies.
The Miami draft board,
headed by Roy Lee Jones, last
Friday refused to grant defer
ment to 21-year-old Charles
Kamen so he could serve in
the Peace Corps.
Heckled Film
Mr.. Kamen last December
got into a wrangle with a
Miami Rotary Club when he
heckled a showing Of Opera
tion Abolition" a film dealing
with student riots at a hearing
of the House Committee on Un-
American Activities in San
Francisco.
In announcing the draft
boards decision, Mr.. Jones said
the board unanimously ap-
proved a statement that Mr..
Kamen would be better placed
in military service where he
would be taught Americanism
than in the Peace Corps where
he would be expected to teach
it.
The ADA, in a telegram
signed by Paul Seabury, chair
man of ADA's Nationay Execu-
tive Committee. charged that
"the intrusion of personal po-
litical bias by draft board mem
bers is a dangerously undemo-
cratic abuse of selective service ;
The selective service spokeS-
man here said Gen. Hershey
would reply to the ADA tele.
gram after getting the facts
from Deputy Director DAME
Omer. Gen. Hershey, who is or
an official tour, was in Miami
himself at the time the draft
board decision was announced
but apparently did not look
into it personally. The usual
procedure. it was explained, is
to request a report from the
State director.
Deferment Sought
The draft spokesman said
the Peace Corps had asked for
Mr.. Kamen's deferment. Under
selective service rules, a local
board can defer anybody whose
civilian activity is deemed nee
esSary to the national inter-
est.
Some boards have deferred
Peace Corps trainees, the
spokesman said. Some others
haven't in the first instance,
but have reconsidered after
consulting with Gen. Hershey.
The normal procedure when
draft deferment is denied is
for the regiStrant and his en-
ployer to appeal within 10 Gays

answer on grounds my answer
might tend to incriminate me.
Senator Mcclellan: Did you
undertake to coerce and in
timidaUe him?"
Again Mr.. Kelly recited the
Fifth Amendment plea.
DO you think one who would
do that is a pretty loW-doWr
character E. to put him ir
such a state of mind he chose
suicide, rather than face the
danger of trying to live if ne
told the truth?" Senator Nc.
Clellan pressed.
Sergt. English had testified
that Mrs. Lyons reported her
husband was an honest man
who wanted to testify fully and
truthfully in the hearings, but
was afraid. She said he told
her he had decided suicide
was the best way out"
Have you no sympathy for
this MANI" Senator Mcclellan
prodded Mr.. Kelly. Have you
no tendernesS-no sympathy
at all-for your fellow man?
Can't you even say you are
sorry for this man?"
Il decline to answer on
grounds that my answer might
tend to incriminate me- Mr.
Kelly reSponed time after time
Mr.. Kelly took the Fifth, too
to questions about his occu-
patton.
He had just heard Downey
Rice, a former FBI agent, give
testimony linking the name OF
Mr.. Kelly's Illinois Sports Serv-
ice with such Chicago mob
sters as Tony Accardo and
Murray (The CameD Hum
phrieS.
Mr.. Rice, who served as
counsel to the old Senate
Crime Investigating Commit
tee in 1901, called Accardo
part of the scum of the un-
derworld."
Mr.. Rice is a consultant to
the subcommittee.
In his testimony, Mr.. Rice
pictured the Illinois Sports
Service as successor to the ILL.,
famed old Continental Press
Service, whose head. James
Ragen, ST., was slain in gang
war in the 1940S.
Mr.. Rice said Illinois Sports
Service is owned by Mr.. Kelly
a son, Thomas Kelly, jr., and
a brother. George Kelly. He
said they sell their service pri-
marily to bookmakers, and also
publish racing sheets.
He said the service is vital
to bookmakers, in part, so they
can keep informed of odds on
upcoming races and, if they
get overloaded with long shot
bets, lay off, or re-bet the
money with others.
To layoff or hedge, he said
the smaller bookies re-bet their
money with bigger operators
whom he described as "the
bookmakers' bookmakers."
List 100000 Profit
Mr.. Rice said the three
Kellys take about 100000 a
year profits from their enter
prise.
Mr.. Rice named Louisville
Sports News of Louisville, KY,
as a subsidiary race wire serv-
ice owned by the Kelly group
He said they also operate the
Daily Turf in Toronto, Canada,
and have an interest in the
California Turf Digest in San
Francisco.
Mr.. Rice said he wanted to
note that Ralph Emery. who
was a defense witness in Ac-
cardo's income tax evasion trial
last year, is a son of an old
Capone mobster and lis cur
'rently a partner in NOLA," a
New Orleans race wire service
He said a Chicago telephone
answering service known as
