On Fraud Charges
uv
REP. J. P. THOMAS
WASHINGTON, Oct. 28 OP)
Federal Judge Alexander Holtz
off ruled today that Rep. J. Par
nell Thomas (R-NJ) must stand
trial Nov. 7 on charges ol de
frauding the government.
Holtzoff refused a further con
tinuance of the trial, already sev
ral times postponed, after re
viving a report on Thomas' phy
lical condition from two privale
physicians. The doctors were
named by the court to examine
him.
Defense attorneys had contend
ed that the 54-year-old Thomas,
who is suffering from a stomach
disorder, is too ill to appear for
trial now.
1 Thomas, one-time chairman of
the House committee on Un
American Activities, was indict
ed a year ago on charges of con
spiring to defraud the govern
ment. The indictment accused
the lawmaker of office-payroll-padding
and taking "kickbacks"
from employes.
Thomas has been treated at
Walter Reed Army hospital here
during the last year. He under
went an operation there some
: months ago.
In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
THIS subject of man-hours of
employment .that can be got
. out of a log, which was mentioned
by Governor McKay the other
night, is a fascinating one. It lies
at the root of the problem of in

timbered areas.
So let's take another look at it

IT appears that in. the past we
have been getting about two
man-days of. employment one in
the woods and one in the miH--out

Secy. Matthews Claims
WASHINGTON, Oct. 28 (.W
Admiral Louis Denfeld told a
demonstrating crowd of 250 Navy
enlisted men today that although
he has been ousted as chief of
naval operations "no service and
no individual will stop" the Nvy-
The sailors from offices and
barracks near the Pentagon be
gan gathering at Denfeld's office
early in the morning.
They keynoted the angry re
sponse of .at least a portion of
the Navy to the decision yester
day of Secretary Matthews,
backed by President Truman, to
fire Denfeld for his opposition to
defense policies that cut down on
the Navy and put what he calls
overemphasis on big Air Force
bombers.
Nearly a full day after the
White House announcement of
Denfeld's ouster, Denfeld himself
still had not received official no
tice that he was being relieved.
Among some Navy men there
was clear pvidence of anger over
what they regarded as this dis
courtesy to the admiral.
There was also no word as to
who will succeed. Denfeld in he
top Navy post, or as to what du
ties may be offered to Denfeld.
... Charles G.- Ross, presidential
press secretary, told a news con
ference that the White House had
received no messages overnight
protesting Denfeld's removal.
Denfeld's aides said that at
least 1,500 teleg.ams had arriv
ed by this morning for him, but
that the admiral had not had a
chance, to read them. Telephone
lines into his office were jammed
with incoming calls, they said.
When Denfeld arrived at his
office, a Marine sentry told him
that a number of men were out
side "to pay their respects."
Denfeld told the sentry to let
them In.
The door opened and the 250
sailors in their blue uniforms be

large room.

The police inspector identified

Victims of the double killing
were Robert Savage, 40, and his

Their bodies were found early
Sunday before the looted safe of

shot them in the back of the
head, much in the manner of a
Chinese execution.

three hour long hearing last
night.
The school board voted unani

secret membership lists. All or
ganizations would have to have
an adult advisor, approved by
school officials, present at all
meetings.
The organizations could, how
ever, continue their practice of
selecting their pledges. It is that
selectivity which constitutes one
of the chief attractions of the
societies, and, at the same time,
one of opponents' chief objections
to tnem.
.Students and parents turned
out, 400 strong, last night to
argue tor their fraternities.
All existing organizations will
be given time to reorganize to
meet the school board require
ments. The school superintendent said

Ezra Van Horn, employer trus
tee for the coal miners pension
fund, told a federal court today
that John L. Lewis and Senator

tees, Illegally "dissipated the
welfare monev. i
Lewis, head of the United Mine
workers, represents the miners
on the board. Bridges is the
"neutral" trustee of the funds

Van Horn's accusation was
made In his answer to r suit for
accounting of the fund filed by
a miner.
. He said that his fellow board
members refused to give him in
formation on how the multi-million
dollar fund was being dis
bursed. The acts of dissipation, he told
the court, are the acts solely of
Lewis and Bridges.
Van Horn joined the original
plaintiff, ex-miner George Liven
good of Pennsylvania, in asking
the U.S. District court to require
an accounting. '
The coal operators' spokesman
declared that If any liability for
damages exists on the part of the
trustees, Lewis and Bridges are
primarily liable. He filed a cross
claim asking the court to dismiss
Livengood's complaint against
him.
