Interrogate Officer Re
duced to Ranks After
Raid On Policy Rackets
By E. C. DANIEL
NEW YORK. Aug. 30. JP) Diflt.
Atty. Thomas E. Dewey won the ri?ht
today, over strenuous defense ob J fac
tion to Introduce the testimony of
a New York policeman In the con
spiracy trial of James T. Hlnes.
The disputed witness, once attach
cd to the chief Inspector's staff, was
"broken" dropped In rank from a
plalnclothesman to a uniformed
"harness bull" after he raided a
policy or "numbers game" oank con
trolled by the lata mob chieftain.
Dutch Schlutz.
Supreme Court Justice Ferdinand
Pecora told the Jury he had decided
to admit the wltnees testimony, over
repeated objections by defense coun
sel Lloyd Paul Stryker, because "it
could not be expected to be founn
In the official records of the polic
department the transfers were made
for any such reason."
Influence Used
Previous witnesses had sworn
Hlnes, In his alleged role as political
"fixer" for the Schultz racket com
bine used bis Influence to effect the
transfer of police raiders to districts
outside the mob's racket territory.
The witness. Patrolman Raymond
Stllley, said after he raided a
Schultz-domlnated policy bank op
erated by George Welntwrg, the
racket's business manager, Weinberg
came up to him as he left court
and asked:
"Is there anything we can do to
ge those policy slips? We've got to
pay off the hits."
More than 200,000 policy slips re
cording bets to be played In the
"numbers game" were confiscated by
the police -raiders.
"I told him no." Stllley said.
Sent to Outskirts
"Oh," he quoted Weinberg as re
torting, "so you're one of these
tough guys well, we'll have to gt
you transferred."
Stllley said after he had partici
pated lh more raids on Schultz
"tsnlts." he was dropped back Into
uniform with a $240-a-year pay re
duction and was sent to a preclnot
station.
He said two other policemen In
the raiding squad. Sergt. Thomas
Gray and Detective Can a van, were
also transferred.
Weinberg, a state's witness In the
current trial, had previously testi
fied he complained to Htnes about
the raids and subsequently nearly
the entire squad was reduced to uniform.

WINNING 'EM OVER
DENVER Jack Newman, grocer, complained many frlenda shunned him
on a recent visit to Akron, Colo., where he once ran a store.

Wall St. Report
NEW YORK, Aug. 30. The
stock market a blood pressure came
back almost to normal today as the
war scare died down somewhat snrt
leading Issues pushed up fractions
to more than 2 points.
It was a slow-motion rally, how
ever, with the turnover of approxi
mately 650,000 shares about half thut
during the sharp -relapse of the pre
vious session.
Steels, motors, rubbers and spe
cialties, notably weak on Monday,
were among the first to right them
selves. Ralls, coppers, mall orders
and specialties were moderately high
er, although far from buoyant.
That Europe Itself was none too
confident peace would be preserved
was seen in a brisk upswing of thi
dollar in terms of the principal for
eign currencies.

SEVERSKY EXPECTS
EAST, WEST RECORD
TO BE BROKEN SOON
LOS ANGELES. Aug. 30. (AP)
Alexander P. DeSeversky Is certain
the air record of 10 hours. 3 minutes
and 7 seconds he set yesterday be
tween New York and Los Angeles
won't ntjnd up long.
He says an army pursuit ship will
be able to crack his record soon.
The little monoplane he ferried
here for Jacqueline Cochran to fly
In the Bendlx dash can cruise 3000
miles without refueling Its wing-to-wing
tanks and that, he observed,
carries great military significance.
"We have learned, from the wars
in Spain and China." Seversky said,
"bombardment craft are vulnerable
to attack from the nir unless prop
erly convoyed. So the big 'flying
fortress' that "cruises 8000 miles must
be accompanied by pursuit shops
that con go equally as far non-stop."
Seversky admitted he went "some
thing more than 300 miles an hour'
and "Jacky" will have to prove how
fast the plane Is In her Bendlx
flight.
Seversky bettered Roscoe Turner's
long-held record by 1 hour,. 36 min
utes and 63 seconds.
