NEW YORK, Aug. 16 (U. P.)—The last six jurors were being chosen |. today for the trial of James J. Hines, charged with Having solid legal protection to the Dutch Schultz lottery and murder mob while dominating city politics as the best handshaker, baby kisser and dispenser of Christmas- baskets in Tammany Hall. : In a little more than an hour of examination, four jurors were chosen at the morning session, bringing the total number of accepted jurors to 10. Two alternates also will be chosen for service in event a regular juror is incapacitated during the trial. : Supreme Court Justice Ferdinand Pecora indicated that he would keep court in session until jury selection is completed. : Six blue-ribbon jurors were seated yesterday after District Attorney Thomas E.

career, had read a list of names of &—

politicians, public officials and criminals, dead and alive, whom he said wotild have a part in the trial that may send Hines to prison for 27 years. When he turned his back upon the Court, looked into Hines’ smiling, rugged face and informed the panel of 300 potential jurors what he was going to prove about the Schultz racket, Mr. Dewey stood one step below the goal toward which he started in May, 1935, when Gov-

. ernor Lehman appointed him, at

the request of a grand jury, to go after racketeers who were looting and terrorizing the city. He had crushed a dozen rackets, convicted scores of racketeers, but he had always complained that someone at the top, with vast political influence, remained untouched, and that the name of “Genial Jimmy” Hines was forever cropping up to plague his investigations. The next and last step, he said, was to convict Hines.

Reads List of Aliases

Mr. Dewey grinned while reading the names, the purpose of which was ‘to have the potential jurors speak up and disqualify themselves if they were acquainted with any of them. « . , Arthur Flegenheimer, alias Dutch Schultz, who is now dead. . . Bernard Rosenkranz, alias Lulu, who is now d. ... Abraham Landau, better known as Abe, or Misfit - (I believe he is dead, too). . . . Joseph Mathiasison, better known as Spasm . . . Otto Berman, also and better known as Havasack or Abadaba. Abadaba is also dead. . . . William Copeland Dodge (Mr. Dewey’s predecessor as District Attorney). . . . John Kelly, United States Marshal. . .. John PF. Curry. . . . Joe Weiner who is connected with the chicken market” . Defense Attorney Lloyd P. Stryker finally objected to Mr. Dewey’s characteriaztions and was sustained by Judge Ferdinand Pecora. But Mr. Dewey persisted: “Your honor I am about to name one Joseph Dugan. There may be 400 others in New York City. I would like to identify him.” “All right, but just a general description,” the court said.

Defense Counsel ‘Protests =

“He is a former ball player and later in the beer business with Dutch Schultz.” Mr. Styker protested again. Mr. Dewey had referred to Jumping Joe Dugan, former third baseman for the New York Yankees, now a bartender, who said later

that “sure I knew Schultz well but I-

never worked for him.” The battle over identifications continued until Mr. Dewey had finjshed his list, and then the six jurors were chosen: A securities dealer, a sales manager, a stock broker, an insurance broker and two salesmen, whose past jury experience had qualified them for the blue ribbon panel. ; Hines matched Mr. Dewey’s smile throughout the opening session. He came to court from a week-end at a beach resort, surrounded by his lawyers and hig three husky sons, and followed by Tammany partisans who wished him luck and shook his .hand. Take Put at 20 Million

. With the completion of the jury, Mr. Dewey was to outline the people’s case, which he touched upon in yesterday’s prelude. “The various (13) counts in the conspiracy indictment . . . allege that it was part of the conspiracy to

gain control of the various lotteries or policy banks by violent means perpetrated by the Dutch Schultz mob . . . and to continue to abet, advise and direct the operation of those banks and take money from them.” 3 : He said that the mob took 20 million dollars a year in pennies, nickels and dimes from lottery players; rigged the lotteries so the bettors could not win; murdered all rivals to obtain monopoly and, with Hines’ help, protected its own henchmen

from the law. Previously, Mr. Dewey

had said that” Hines and Schultz conspired in 1931 and that from then until 1937, two years after Schultz had been exterminated by gang rivals, Hines received from $500 to $1000 a week for his services. Eight Schultz mobsmen were indicted with Hines. Three, including Richard J. (Dixie) Davis, Schultz's successor, pleaded guilty and will testify for the state. The others are dead or “missing.”

City Workers Alliance Delegate ommunist by F

rey

(Continued from Page One)

“Sunlight kills tHe virus of communism.” : : Rep. J. P. Thomas (R. N. J) termed the Workers Alliance ‘one of the most dangerous organizations connected with the Communist Party.” Charging the alliance has an active part in the Federal Theater, he promised the theater projects would be investigated by the committee. - . As Mr. Frey submitted his list, Rep. Arthur D. Healey (D. Mass.) warned that the names of no persons of whose Communist connection Mr. Frey was not certain should be submitted. Mr. Frey replied that he was sure of his facts. ~~ . Chairman Martin Dies (D. Tex.) also warned against submitting names of persons unless Mr. Frey could definitely prove them members of the Communist Party.

Lewis Invited

Mr. Frey's conclusion of three day’s of testimony centered around claims that the A. F. of L. has been a major bulwark against commun-ism-in this country and an attack on the C. 1.-O. on the basis of his charges that it has given communism a foothold in the American jabor movement. Rep. Dies said that he had invited C. I. O. Chairman John L. Lewis to appear before the committee to an-

'swer Mr. Frey's charges. Mr. Lewis

declined to comment on the invitation, Rep. Dies said that whether Mr. Lewis answers Mr. Frey's charges is entirely up to him; that he would not be subpenaed by the committee. Mr. Frey's testimony included nuTerous “charges, including assertions that: 1, The recent C. I. O. Maytag strike at Newton, Ia., was directed by a Communist organizer, William Sentner. Mr. Sentner later admitted being a member of the Communist Party, but denied ever having been an organizer for the Communists. 2. The Communist Party had employed the American Labor Party in New York to spread its doctrines, and that it had succeeded in having various communist ideals embodied in its platform.

3. In May 1937, following a Paris

meeting of international Communist leaders, a new policy was announced by the Communist Party of employing existing political parties in an effort “to broaden the People’s Front,” ‘and to force “President Roosevelt and his Administration further to the left.” : 4, He (Mr. Frey) personally had received numerous anonymous threats, mostly telephonic, because of his testimony before the committee. fw
