Caudle, Connelly "
To Seek Reversal
01 Convictions
St. Louis, Mo. U.R Attor
neys for T. Lamar Caudle and
Matthew J. Connelly said today
they will demand a new trial
to reverse their conviction oh
charges of defrauding the gov
ernment while holding top posi
tions in the Truman administra
tion. The attorneys also said they
will ask for a judgment of ac
quittal, despite a jury of rural
Missourians' verdict Thursday
that Caudle and Connelly con
spired to "fix" a tax evader's
case.
Charges Uphald
The toderal jury of four wom
en and eight men upheld the
government's charges against
Caudle, head of the Justice De
partment's tax division in the
Truman administration, and Con
nelly, former President Truman's
White House appointments sec
retary. They were accused of conspir
ing with Attorney Harry I.
Schwimmer and "divers other
persons unknown" to "fix" the
tax evasion case of St. Louis
shoe broker, Irving Sachs.
Schwimmer was granted a
mistrial earlier after he suffered
a heart seizure in the court
room. He was named with the
other two defendants in the fed
eral grand jury's indictment.
Federal Judge Rubey M. Hulen
set July 19 for both sentencing
and for arguments on defense
motions. Judge Hulen already
has under consideration a mo
tion for a judgment of acquittal,
on which he withheld action
pending the jury's decision.
Government attorneys said
they would bring Schwimmer to
trial as quickly as his health per
mits. Both men face penalties of up
to five years in prison and fines
of $10,000 each.
Connelly Conviction May Provide
Boost for Stevenson Nomination
Friday June 15, 19S
MEDTORD (OHKOOW) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE
By LYLE C. WILSON
United Press Correspondent
Washington . (U.R) The
Missouri jury which convicted
Matthew J. Connelly on charges
o of conspirator-
Itz 1 lai l n 1 1 uence
peaaiing may
have given Ad
lai E. Steven
son a boost to
il ward the Demo-
'A cratic p r e s 1-
dential nomi
nation. Connelly was
Ltic c iviiwo iormer presi
dent Trumans White House ap
pointments secretary, his closest
official associate barring, per
haps, Maj. Gen. Harry S.
Vaughn. He started with Mr.
Truman as a Senate committee
investigator, rose to be his sec
retary and continued in that in
timate relationship through his
chief's vice presidency and presi
dency. With T. Lamar Caudle, Con
nelly was convicted in federal
court of conspiring to defraud
the government in an income tax
case.
Caudle was a Truman admini
stration chief of the Justice De
partment's tax division. Just
how the gentle Caudle happen
ed to be chosen for that spot with
its requirement for tough-minded
decisions remains one of the
questions which never has been
answered fully.
Will Aid GOP
Connelly and Caudle will ap
peal, of course, or take other
legal action. The conviction of
these two high ranking Truman
administration officials on such
charges in a campaign year, how
ever, scarcely can fail to aid the
Republicans in their effort to
win the White House and new
Congress.
The effect on the Democratic
party may depend very much on
Mr. Truman's reaction to the
jury's findings. Loyalty has been
among Mr. Truman's most not
able virtues, so much so that
some persons have thought he
might be carrying his loyalties
to a fault. It apparently was
party loyalty, for example,
which caused Mr. Truman to try
to laugh off the early exposure
of Alger Hiss.
There could be no suggestion
that Mr. Truman was aware or
even suspected that his White
House friend was a crook, as
the jury found him to be, sub
ject, of course, to further legal
review. But Connelly was Mr.
Truman's man, a fair example
of his skill in picking men.
On this eve of the Democratic
national convention, that may be
of considerable political signifi- i
cance. The United Press Thurs-,
day reported under a Washing
ton dateline the belief among '
some well-informed persons that ;
Mr. Truman was maneuvering,
to prevent Stevenson's nomina-
tion next August in Chicago.
HST's man is widely reported
to be Gov. Averell Hajriman, of
New York, a 100 per cent Fair
Dealer. The closer Mr. Truman
is associated with the 1 1956
Democratic - presidential cam
paign ,the more effective should
be the Republican attack on the
man and the party which put
Connelly and Caudle in respon- i
sible office. !

Southern Congressmen Take Dim
View of Democratic Walkout Plan
Washington (U.R) South
erners in Congress generally
took an apathetic, wary, or hos
tile attitude today toward a
South Carolina plan .which
could trigger a southern Demo
cratic walkout from the national
party.
This proposal originated in the
South Carolina Democratic con
vention and came to southern
members of Congress this week
in a letter from Gov. George
Bell Timmerman Jr.
It called for a caucus of south
ern national convention dele
gates to agree on a program of
united action on issues, such as
racial segregation, of deep con
cern to the South. It also pro
posed that southern state con
ventions keep a door open to
permit reconvening of southern
delegates after the national con
vention. Want Greater Influence
Timmerman and Sen. Thomas
A. Wofford (D-S.C.) both insist
ed that the plan was not aimed
at formation of a third party in
the South but rather at avoid
ing any such move. They said
southern unity would give the
South greater influence at the
national convention.
Sen. W. Kerr Scott (D-N.C),
who called the proposal "Dixi-
crat sugarcoating" earlier this
week, commented Thursday that
it was "mighty good news" that
Timmerman and Wofford intend
ed to remain in the Democratic
party.
Most southerners In Congress
appeared to feel that the pro
posal would increase the likeli
hood of a party split.
Chofiner SeWks
Suit lor Libel
Beverly Hills. Calif. U.R)
Attorney Murray M. Chotiner
has settled a $1 million libel suit
against a magazine which in its
March, 1956, issued called him
"Nixon's secret link to the un
derworld." Noted criminal lawyer Jerry
Giesler disclosed Thursday night
that under the terms of the set
tlement the "behind the scene"
magazine is running a retrac
tion and apology in its Septem
ber issue which will be on the
newsstands June 25. Chotiner,
1952 campaign manager of Vice
President Richard M. Nixon,
filed the suit against the maga
zine, J. B. Publishing Corp., and
14 other defendants.
Giesler said -a sum of money
is being paid Chotiner by the
defendants to cover counsel fees
and other costs. He said an affi
davit also is being furnished
from the publisher. J. B. Musac
chia, disclosing the complete
sources of the article which ap
peared in the issue.
Some of them suggested that a
prs-convention caucus of south
ern delegates would tend to
harden the southern position,
leaving less room for maneuver
and compromise on the civil
rights issue. It might invite simi
lar caucuses forcing northern
Democrats into a no-compromise
position.
Members of Congress also saw
no purpose in reconvened state
conventions except to threaten
a third party if the presidential
nominee or Democratic platform
should be offensive to the South.
Don't Want plan
Southern leaders in Congress
were in no mood to buy the plan.
Senate Democratic Leader Lyn
don B. Johnson only last month
won control of the 56-vote Texas
delegation in a battle to insure
that Texas Democrats will stick
with the national party.
Other powerful southerners
have made clear that they do not
want to start an internal party
fight now. Some of them, how
ever, have not ruled out the
possibility that the Democrats
can lose part of the South in
the November election to a third
party nominee or to President
Eisenhower.
In 1948, a fight over the civil
rights plank of the Democratic
platform led to formation of a
states' rights party in the South.
It cost President Truman the
electoral votes of South Caro
lina, Alabama, Mississippi and
Louisiana.
