Lack of Inquiry Info
I n rim idation Charges
Rapped by
Washington U.R) Two
Democratic senators Saturday
accused the Justice Department
of -making no effort to deter
mine whether an attempt had
been made to intimidate a wit
ness involved in the Dixon
Yates case.
However, Warren Olney III,
assistant attorney general in
charge of the department's
criminal devision, testified that
on the basis of the information
which the department received
it was decided no investigation
was "warranted." The facts, Ol
ney said, did not indicate any
violation of a federal law.
But Sen. Estes Kefauver (D
Tenn.), termed the Justice De
partment's failure to act "de
plorable." Kefauver is chair
man of a Senate Anti-Monopoly
subcommittee which resumed its
investigation of the controver
sial Dixon-Yates power con
tract. Kefauver told Olney: "You
just didn't undertake to find out
whether there was an effort (at
witness intimidation) or not."
'Brushed Off
Sen. Joseph C. O'Mahoney (D
Wyo.), commented that "this
thing was brushed off and
thrown into the wastebasket
without an investigation when

the Securities and Exchange

The commission then was con

May Have Broken
World Crime Ring
Montreal (U.R) Canadian
and United States investigators
yesterday checked the possibility
that a $10,000,000 narcotics seiz
ure here may have broken an in
ternational crime syndicate with
headquarters in Communist
China.
A spokesman for detectives in
three Canadian and U.S. agen
cies said such a prospect was
"under serious consideration"
following the discovery of 31
pounds of pure heroin aboard
the french freighter St. Malo
here Thursday.
So far, only one man, ship's
fireman Robert Bianchi Maliver-
no. 30, of Pliang, Vosges, France,
has been arrested. He was ex
pected to be arraigned on i
attempted smuggling charge.
Other Arrests
Royal Canadian mounted po
lice said other arrests probably
would be made here, and pos
sibly in New York, when they
get enough evidence to make
cases against Canadians and
Americans for whom the nar
cotics were bound. They said
that might take anywhere from
a few days to several months.
It was believed that the heroin
was destined for the United
States market and originated in
Communist China. Police said
they had spent several years in
vestigating the illegal drug trade
directed from China, which has
been exploiting the traffic to
build up new markets in North
America and obtain hard-to-get
dollars.
