J. S. MAY CALL SPEGIAL JURY IN

MANTON PROBE

Dewey Accused of ‘Butting |g

In,’ but Probers Want His Evidence.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1 (U. P)— Federal investigators said today that a special Grand Jury probably will

be called to examine the conduct. of |;

‘Martin T. Manton, senior judge of the Second United States Circuit Court of Appeals, whose resignation was accepted yesterday by President Roosevelt, effective Feb. 7. ~The investigation was ordered by

Attorney General Murphy and was begun by acting United States Attorney Noonan, but Federal .investigators may have to wait until District Attorney Dewey is through with the evidence they need. Mr, Dewey had been investigating Judge Manton’s affairs secretly for nine months, and has all the records of the judge's business affairs, including ledgers of the companies in which he was interested. Mr. Dewey has been presenting evidence to a State Grand Jury since last July. - Federal authorities did not undertake their investigation uniil Jast week, when Mr. Murphy came to New York and conferred with Judge Manton. Mr. Dewey Sunday sent to Chairman Sumners (D. Tex.) of the House Judiciary Committee in Washington, an outline of bis investigation.

Dewey Charges Loans

" He charged that Judge Manton, or corporations owned or controlled by him, had received in loans $439,000 from persons or corporations acting for companies and individuals having cases in Judge Man--fon’s court. Congressional New Dealers promptly charged that Mr. Dewey had “butted in” on the Federal in-| vestigation for political motives.. But today Mr. Noonan learned that Mr. Dewey was far ahead of him in the Manton affair. Mr. Dewey long ago had subpenaed all records of companies in which the judge had an interest; he had on several occasions almost exposed his case prematurely by taking the Grand Jury in a body before one or another state judges, seeking judicial writs against “recalcitrant Witnesses. + Mr. Noonan announced yesterday that the Federal Grand Jury investigation had begun, and one unidentified witness apeared before it - reportedly in connection with Judge Manton’s affairs,

3 Resignation Accepted

Mr. Noonan indicated that a spesia Grand Jury would be Jimpaneled. Any interest that members of the House Judiciary Committee had in impeachment proceedings against Judge Manton ended yesterday evening when President Roosevelt received and immediately accepted the judge’s resignation. ~Judge Manton’s letter to the President had suggested March 1 . a5 the latest date for his retirement. . Mr. Roosevelt set the date Feb. 7 and ordered the judge not to sit in any cases in the meantime. :.Judge Manton had written: “I hereby tender my resignation , .’. to take effect at your pleasure and no later than the first of next March at which time I will be able to finish the business now in my hands. 3

LINK CHAVEZ TO WPA ‘SQUEEZE’

Witnesses in New Mexico Trial Charge 10 Per Cent Levied on Jobs.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M., Feb. 1 (U. P.).—The Government called a procession of WPA workers today to testify that friends of Senator Chavez (D. N. M.) had assessed them 10 per cent of their wages for a political campaign. They were testifying at the trial of the Semmtor’s sister, Mrs. Anita Tafoya, his son-in-law, former assistant United States District Attorney Stanley Miller, and 33 others charged with conspiracy to use WPA jobs and funds for political purposes. The witnesses said the 10 per cent levy was assessed by the Rio Grande Social Club, “which, other witnesses had testified, forced WPA workers into its membership on penalty of losing their jobs. Walter Oglesby, a clerk in the ate Welfare Department and a former WPA worker, testified that the club was formed to fight former Governor Tingley’s proposed amendment to the State Constitution which would have permitted office-

holders three, instead of two, con-

secutive terms. Mr. Tingley and Senator Chavez opposed one another on three state issues. Mr. Tingley lost them all. Mr. Oglesby said one of the defendants, Anastacio Romero, told the Rio Grande Club that its purpose was to seize control of the Albuquerque government for Senator Chavez. Mr. Oglesby denied, in cross examination that he had called Senator Chavez and Mr. Miller “damn liars” because they didn’t get him a WPA job, which they had promised. He also denied threatening to “blow the lid off and help send Stanley Miller either to hell or the penitentiary.” Leo Baca, Bernalillo County com-

test Tingley legislation.
