Court Of.
SCI Calls
Wasn't Requested
To Drop Charges
Against EdIin
BY HUGH WELLS
Star staff Writer

BALTIMORE. Md. April II.
Attorney General Robert F.
Kennedy testified today that
former Representative Frank
w. Boykin of Alabama and
Thomas F. johnson of Mary
land conferred with him seY-
eral times in 1861 about a
pending mail fraud indictment
against j. Kenneth Edlin.
Under cross-examination by
Mr.. johnson, the ATTORNEY
General acknowledged that the
Two former Congressman did
not specifically ask him to drop
the Edlin indictment, but he
said he got the distinct impress
sion that was what they were
after.
Mr.. johnson. Mr.. Boykin,
Edlin and his aide, William L.
Robinson, are on trial on
charges Of conspiring to pres
sure the Justice Department
into dropping the Edlin mail
fraud case. Edlin eventually
pleaded no contest to the mail
fraud charge, which resulted
from operation Of a savings
and loan firm. and served five
months in prison.
Mr.. Kennedy, in his direct
testimony today, also said Mr..
Boykin told him Edlin was will
ing to offer some information
concerning Teamster President
James r. Hoffa and a $lOO.O 600
Treasury note which once re.
portedly was stolen.
Brought Development Man
The first meeting with the
two Representatives was on
Saturday, March rs, 1861, said
Mr.. Kennedy.
He said they brought some
maps and charts with them
which showed a land develop
ment in Maryland. And they
were concerned that Mr.. Edlir1
was under indictment and
they felt the indictment should
not be brought and this matter
should be reviewed BY me. II
this indictment was followed
through it would be bad for
the economy Of Maryland"
Mr.. Kennedy said he fol-
lowed his usual procedure and
asked for a memorandum sum-
marizing the indictment.
He said that Representative
johnson had not indicated that
ne was being retained BY Edlin
Tor Edlin interests. Nor had
Mr.. Boykin Indicated that he
had a personal financial stake
In the land deal. according TO
the best of his recollection.
Bad Effects Stressed
The second visit. according
to the Attorney General, oc-
Cured in April and again we
went through the fact that
Mr.. Edlin was under indict-
ment and the adverse effect
this would have in Mary
land. :"
At this meeting he said II
was brought UP that Edlin was

When and How
Of Defrosting

The over night method is
advisable when no frozen
food is being stored.
Ice trays and all items
from the chiller tray should
be removed. The temperature
control should be flipped to
"defroSt." Frost will melt and
drain into chiller tray from
the freezer compartment.
In the morning remove the
chiller tray and wash 1t with
mild soap and water. do not
use boiling water. Replace the
tray and wipe the freezer and
refrigerator sections with q
damp cloth.
Return the temperature
control dial to the original
setting.
With the quick method, re-
move the ice trays and all
food from the freezer COM
partment and chiller tray.
Turn the temperature con-
troll to off. Fill a large pan
with hot water and place in
the freezer, do not use ice
trays because hot water will
remove the protective wax
coating from the tray surface.
Large chunks of ice may
be removed from the bottom
and sides of the freezer with
a plastic scraper to hasten
the defrosting process.
Defrost water will drain in
to chiller tray. After all frost
has melted, remove tray and
wash 1t in warm, not hot,
water.
Replace tray and wipe out
freezer and refrigerator with
a damp cloth. Return temper
ature control to original set

saturated fats are In trouble
while cigarette sales con-

Many physicians do pre-

The boom in polyunsatu-
rated fats Is reaching the
frozen food market.
Industry representatives say
these fats are already widely
used, primarily because Of
their convenience, In prepar-
ing French fries and frying
chicken before freezing. The
industry Is now beginning TO
advertise this.
There are indications-but
no firm proof--that satu-
rated fats may have q role in
heart disease. most physi-
clans say. But lack Of proof
hasn't stopped an almost
faddish rush for polyunsatu-
rated foods.
Part OF the rush may be
explained by a popular-but
mistaken-idea that poly
unsaturated fats are less fat
tening than saturated fats.
The willingness Of the pub
lic TO eagerly accept prelim.
mary evidence and specula-
tons about polyunsaturated
fats. some Of which cost ex-
ira. has some scientists shak-
ing their heads In puzzle
inent.
They point out that the re-
