and loan operator j. Kenneth
Edlin.
Mr.. Tydings made the state
ment in summarizing his argu-
ments in the conflict Of interest
and conspiracy case against
the two former congressman,
Edlin and his aide, William l.
Robinson. The jury will get the
case today.
The prosecutor asked the
jury why Edlin went to see Mr.
Boykin and Mr.. johnson rather
than his own Congressman in
Florida or even in the Mary
land district where his savings
and loan associations were To-
Gated.
was it just coincidence he
went to two Congressman who
had a personal interest in the
success Of his business enter
prises?" Mr.. Tydings asked.
Activities Detailed
Mr.. Tydings alleged that Mr..
Boykin, a former Alabama
Representative, was in a diff
cult situation with two land
tracts since a developer Of one
had gone bankrupt and a de-
veloper on the other was in de-
fault of payments.
He reiterated that Mr.. john
son, a former Representative
from Maryland's Eastern Shore,
had visited the Attorney Cen
eral three times, the Assistant
Attorney General IL, written
four letters and made Is phone
calls. concerning the Edlin
matter.
He said Mr.. Boykin made
four visits to the Attorney Gen
eral, eight TO the Assistant At
torney General, wrote five let
tiers and made as phone calls.
The prosecutor charged that
Mr.. johnson profited by more
than $4,000 in so-called legal
fees and he as well as Mr.. Boy
kin was promised percentages
of the resale profit on the Boy
kin land which would total over
81 million for each.
Appeal for BOykin

Cut U. S. Forces First,
Aid Hearing Urged

Defense Secretary Mcnamara
told Congress today that If 1t
feels it must cut military spend
ling it should trim this country's
own defense budget Of $52.2
billion before it touches the STA
billion for allies.
After telling the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee
that the military assistance
program is an austere one, Mr..
Mcnamara added, 81 must say
that If the Congress-contrary

highways that no Ameri-
can, rich or poor, high or low,
weak or strong, old or young,
can be stigmatized with a con-
viction on this kind of EVIL
dence."
The burly lawyer spoke to an
overlooking crowd that filled
every corner of the courtroom
to hear his closing argument.
He began by saying it was
"a tremendously unfair thing to
level the accusations at
Mr.. Boykin in the way in which
1t was done in this case" The
allegation that Mr.. Boykin
went on Edlin's payroll.
Time Element Raised
Although the ndictme n t
places Mr.. Boykin in the con-
spiracy beginning April /, 1860,
Mr.. Williams said, even the
Government had admitted Mr..
Boykin did not meet Edlin until
January. 1861.
The prosecution, said Mr..
williams, was whimsical
enough to put him (Boykin) in
the conspiracy on April Fools
Day"
During the year 1860, Mr..
johnson is charged with being
bribed, in effect, to make a
speech in the House Of Repre-
sentatives defending independ-
ent savings and loan associa-
lions. Mr.. johnson also is
charged with visiting the JUS
tice Department with Mr.. Boy
kin.
Mr.. Williams quickly re-
viewed the sales of Boykin land,
attempting to show the price
was not inflated; then he YER
bally flayed defense witnesses
who testified against Mr.. Boy
kin; and he ended by pointing
out that even Robert F. Ken
nedy refused to testify that
Mr.. Boykin had used miSrepre-
sentation and concealment
during his visits to the Justice
Department.
Edlin Defended
Earlier, Edward L. Gem,
counsel for Edlin, attacked
the repetition during the trial
of the fact that Edlin had a
previous conviction 20 years
ago.
He said it left "a residue
that puts a suspicion where it
does not belong"
william L. Robinson, acting
as counsel for himself,
claimed he had never done
anything that was ''inconsis-
tent with his duties as an at
torney" for Edlin and Edlin
firms.

GAMBLER CALLS REVEALED
State Expects Conference
To Dispose of Butts Case

ATLANTA. Mar. % (AP)-
Records show that Wally Butts
made telephone calls to per-
sons who had been involved in
gambling on college sports
events, "but there is no evil
dence that Butts was engaged
in gambling" Attorney General
Eugene Cook of Georgia says.
Cook said yesterday he had
found no violation of State law
in alleged telephone conversa-
tons between Butts, former
Georgia athletic director, and
Paul Bryant. Alabama foot
ball coach.
The Georgia attorney gen.
eral. who is investigating pub

game last fall, indicated that
final disposition Of the case
would be up to the Southeast

Laurel Race Course is con-
sidering staging an unprece-
dented meeting in August. pro-
viding Gov. Tawes signs the bill
which would add IL days to
each Of Maryland's three
major tracks.
John d. Schapiro, Laurel
president. said today he had
not discussed the August meet
ing, which would be a Joint
aurel-Pimlico- Bowie session,
with the other tracks, but he
has talked informally with the
Maryland Racing Commission.
Gov. Tawes is expected to
sign the bill, which was APP
proved by the Legislature last
night.
Shared by 3 Tracks
Under Schapiro's plan, Laurel
would open Immediately after
the close of Delaware Park
July 81 and run for SO days.
Later Laurel would reopen in
the fall for IL days which
would include the Washington,
D. c.. International November
IL.
Laurel's August meeting,
consisting Of its extra IL days
plus Bowie's and Pimlico's
added dozen, would be shared
financially by the three tracks.
Schapiro said many horse
men will favor August racing
in Maryland.
The Laurel president feels
that inasmuch as New York
racing moves to Saratoga dur
ing August and that the Della
ware stables also would be
available that an August meet
ing in Maryland would draw
many horses and trainers who
ordinarily would not appear
in this area.
312 Racing Days
Bowie officials have indi-
Gated that they would be in
, favor of running their extra
IL days at Laurel because they
do not want to reopen later in
the year for a short meeting
If Pimlico does not hold its
added days at Laurel, it would
be necessary to extend its late
fall meeting past Christmas.

Tommy Harper of Reds
Best Rookie-Hutch

TAMPA, Fla, March 28.-One of the
characteristics of this physical fitness
period for baseball players is the way big
league managers have been singing the
praises of their phenoms. They-that is,
those who have reason to feel one or more
of their kids is going to make good-have
been acting like new poppas with baby
snapshots at the ready. And isn't there
supposed to be shortage of young talent?
Danny Murtaugh of the Pirates raves
about his 20-year-old third baseman, Bob
Bailey. The usually stoical Walt Aston
leads the huzzahs for Nate Oliver, who
figures to be the Dodgers second baseman.
Sam Mele of the Minnesota, controlling an
involuntary shudder when he thinks Of
the lads outfielding, speaks glowingly Of
Pedro Olivas bat
Fred Hutchinson of the Reds fires
salvos in behalf Of his own guy, Tommy
Harper. II certainly wouldn't knock those
other kids, especially Bailey and Oliver, be-
cause wouldn't mind having them on my
club" he says. But I've got to like Harper
best of all"
The Reds potential new ace is a %
year-old Negro from Louisiana. After last
season the managers Of the Pacific Coast
League voted Harper "the best major
league prospect in the league" Also "the
best rookie in the Pei"
HUTCHINSON, WHOM MANY qualified
baseball men feel is the ablest manager in
the business, tops all the Harper boosters
He's probably the greatest. prospect in
baseball today" Hutch suggests. II think
he might be good centerfielder."
When the Reds genius pulls this line
his listeners do double-takes. First, Gin
cinnati already has one OF the finest CEN
terfielders in 24-year-old Vada Pinson, who
has q batting average OF 1903 for four-plus
seasons and often is called the fastest
player in the game Secondly, Harper es-
sentially has been a third baseman during
his 2h years In pro ball.
what would you do with Pinson, as
suming that Harper can play center2"
Hutch naturally is asked.
why, move him 10 left" Fred replies
blaudly. las for assuming that Harper can
play center, I know he can. He played some
outfield for San Diego may even be better
there than at third base. There wouldn't
be many better outfields than Pinson,
Harper and Frank Robinson"

he had uncovered evidence
which implies that Butts
had gambled on football games
and then in the very next
breath say there is no evidence
to support such an insinua-
tion." Schroeder said.
Schroeder wrote Cook that he
believed nothing could be
gained by subjecting Butts to
a second lie detector test. Cook
had asked Butts and Bryant to
take polygraph tests after both
had said previous tests showed
they were innocent of the Post
charges.
Probe Almost Complete
Cook indicated his investiga-
ton, begun nearly two weeks
ago, was almost complete and
a report would be made Mon
day to Gov. Carl e. Sanders.
Indications were that the re-
port would be turned over to
the SEC without any further
State action.
Il am confident that my in
vestigation will clear the air
and give the public a clear and
concise view of what we deem
to be the truth" Cook said.
And the State government
will be no longer concerned. "
