CCUSED JUDGE

REPORTED ‘OUT’

Resigns U. S. Bench After _ Charges of Taking Money, Sumners Says.

_ (Continued from Page One)

sent to Rep. Sumners (D.| Tex.), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, charged today that Martin T. Manton, senior judge of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, or corporations in | ya a ! received sums of money from individuals or corporations acting for individuals or corporations inter-

_ ested in matters handled by the

Court. s%In view of recent public developments and of your public comment

~ expressing interest in the matter,”

Mr. Dewey write Mr. Sumners, “I

deem it my duty to lay before you

certain facts in my possession.’ “If, upon the foregoing facts, the House of Representatives should assume jurisdiction of this matter, I am prepared to present evidence before your. committee in support thereof.” The House Judiciary Committee

has, in the past, originated im-

peachment proceedings against Federal judges. Attorney General Frank Murphy announced on Saturday that he was investigating allegations concerning Judge Manton to determine whether there was a basis for Federal action. 3 Press Gets Copies Mr. Dewey, in his letter, copies of which he distributed to the press, detailed what he said were the results of his investigation of six cases. Mr. Dewey said that Archie M, ‘Andrews, now deceased, controlled in: 1936 and 1937 the Dictograph Products €orp., Inc.,, and a number of other corporations. He said that

- George M. Spector, an insurance

agent, was a confidential agent of Mr. Andrews. Mr. Spector, Mr. Dewey alleged, received certain sums from various of Mr. Andrews’ corporations. Mr. Dewey said that “corporations wholly owned or controlled by Judge Manton” received from Mr. Spector a total of $52,000.

~Afterward, on April 12, 1937, the Oireuit Court of Appeals reversed the. lower court decision favoring Shick. Mr. Dewey said that the court had been divided and that Judge Manton voted for the reversal. “The McGrath transaction.” John M. McGrath was appointed as one of. three trustees for the Prudence Co., which was reorganizing under the Bankruptcy Act, on Feb. 1, 1935. Mr, Dewey said he had been recommended to the district judge by Judge Manton.

WITNESS AGAINST HINES KILLS SELF

Weinberg Suicide May Hurt Dewey’s Case.

NEW YORK, Jan. 30 (U. P). — District Attorney Thomas E. Dewey

carried on his case against James J. Hines, Tammany leader, with two today. Suicide robbed him of his third—38-year-oltk George Weinberg, agangster, who this week was to have told a jury gégain that he paid $1000 a week to Hines to protect the Dutch Schultz lottery racket. ‘Weinberg put a bullet through his brain yesterday in the bathroom of an old mansion on the outskirts of White Plains, N. Y., where he was Kept in protective custody with the two other key Hines dase witnesses, Weinberg, who helped manage - Schultz’ $20,000,000 policy business, couldn't be shaken at Hines’ first trial in his story that thousands cf dollars had been paid to Hines. Whether that testimony is alimissable in the second trial will determine how large a hole his suicide left in Mr. Dewey's case. . The trial continued today as Lloyd Stryker, defense lawyer, cross-ex-amined Joseph M. Ison, charged with e part in the lottery conspiracy.

DEMANDS PROBE OF. TEXTBOOKS

Representative Urges Board Of Inquiry to Include ‘Teaching Methods.

A House resolution asking that the Senate Textbook Investigating Committee extend its inquiry to include teaching methods and contents of certain texts was introduced .today

; by Rep. Paul 8. Brady (R. Muncie).

The resolution, which does not require Senate concurrence, was referred to the Public Works Committee by Speaker James Knapp who excluded pages from the chamber while the measure was being discussed. The committee was to study it at 1:30 p. m, today. Declaring that he was speaking as a father as well as a member of the Legislature, Rep. Brady mounted the roll call clerk’s rostrum and began reading passages. which he claimed were profane from a text “Adventures in Appreciation.” “I say that this text is absolutely unfit for any school children to have in his possession, much less to have to study it as a text in school,” Rep. Brady said. “1 don’t know whether this book contains communistic propaganda designed to break dbwn the morale

of our school pupils or not, but do. know that books of this type are not fit for school children to read.” The resolution said in part: “Be it resolved that this House recommend that said investigatior: include and cover a thorough inquiry into the teachings, and particularly historical and moral teachings, carried to our school children through the medium of school textbooks heretofore adopted by saicl board and that this body urge specificially. the investigation of the book entitled ‘Adventures in Appreciation,” adopted for high school literature study.” The resolution also praised work of the Senate committee and said that an extension of this investiga- | tion “is of great interest and affects | vitally the entire citizenry of the State.” a i DUVALL EN ROUTE HERE | Chief Deputy Prosecutor James Watson and Detectives John Dugan | and Thomas Aulls were reported Indianapolis-bound
