Hughes, whose claim of being a tool in a political plot has come under heavy fire from prosecution wit nesses. In summing up yesterday, de fense counsel Martin Erdmann ad mitted Hughes was "venal, greedy and unethical" but said he was the dupe of political foes of Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wis). U. 8. Atty. Paul W. Williams, in his sumation, termed Hughes' testimony "the mere imaginings" of a "strange, deluded man." Hughes, 35-year-old World War IT veteran, went on trial Jan. It! nn six counts of perjury stemming from testimony before a federal grand jury probing Harvey -M. FDR's Letter Sent To Ike WASHINGTON lifl A famous letter Franklin D. Roosevelt wrote 10 days after the 1M1 Pearl Harbor attack to "the President o( the United States in 1956" has been delivered at last to Dwight D. El senhower. The World War II President's letter asked consideration for "the merits of a young American of goodly heritage Colin P. Kelly III for appointment as a cadet in the United States military at West Point." Young Kelly then an infant and now a 6 - foot, 15-year-old high school sophomore is the son of Capt. Colin P. Kelly Jr., ihe United States' first hero of the war, killed In a bombing mission in the .Pacific a few days after Pearl Harbor. Colin III lives at Concordvllle, Pa., near Philadelphia, with his mother and stepfather, Mr. and Mrs. J. Watson Pedlow. He at tends W;sttown Friends School, a Qimker institution. The White House said today that official Inquiries, made with the approval of President Elsenhower, indicate the youth "is interested in going to West Point." But he will have to wait at least another vear and a half, when he - will be 17, to be eligible for ad mittance. Shortly after Roosevelt wrous his letter Dec. 17. 1941. It was sent to the National Archives here for safekeeping. About two weeks ago the na tional archivist, Wayne Orover. dug, it out of the files and sent it through white House channels to Eisenhower, a ' 1915 West Point graduate. In a telephone interview from her home. Colln's mother said the youth known as "Corky" does want to attend West Point, and "so far as I know has never thought ot anything else." Mrs. Pedlow discounted the idea that he might decide to go instead to the new Air Force Academy in Colorado. She made a direct appeal that there be no "excessive amount ol publicity." "Please." she added. "Just let him grow up normally. He is en titled to that." Matusow. former Communist who turned informer and then repu diated bis testimony. Hughes allegedly told the grand jury that Matusow became a turn about witness after being finan cially prompted by a number, of anti - McCarthyites including Jo seph Rauh Jr., head of Americans for Democratic Action, a pro-New Deal organisation, and Clayton Fritchey, deputy chairman of the Democratic National Committee. Rauh and Fritchey denied on the witness stand that they ever had anything to do with Matusow. But both men admitted being hood winked by material submitted by Hughes concerning alleged "illegal activities" of McCarthy while he was rhairman of the Senate Per manent Investigations subcommit tee, t Rauh said he gave Hughes more than $10,000 in loans and payments for derogatory information about McCarthy. In 1954, Rauh tried to Interest the Washington Post (now the Washington Post and .Times Herald) in the material. After checking, th newspaper convinced Rauh and Fritchey that the in formation was false. Hughes testified the information was phony. His counsel contends Rauh. Fritchey and others knew the information was bogus but were willing to use It anyway. Erdmann further argued that Rauh and Fritchey were convinced that If the "plot" blew up "Hughes' word would never be believed against thslrs." Of Rauh and Fritchey. Williams said: "If they wanted to concoct some cock-and - bull story they didn't have to rely on , this young amateur . . . "But this young man sold them a bill of goods. Actually he was of value to them only If he- was genuine. If he was not genuine then he was a downright liability, a danger and a threat not only to them but to the ADA. the Demo cratic National Committee and the enlre Democratic party." Erdmann. admitting his client "was a louse engaged in filthy practices," charged that "evidence adduced from major government witnesses here (at the trial) was deliberately false . . ." If convicted, Hughes would face a possible maximum of 30 years in prison plus a siz.ooo tine. Stevenson Ignores Blast SAN FRANCISCO W Adlal Stevenson ignored a new "boss ism" blast bv Sen.

We called the governor "one of the finest men in our state, a man of great Ideals." Eulogizing Patterson.
