EDERAL JURY OPENS MANTON

INQUIRY TODAY

Fallon, - Serving Bribery . Term, Is Listed as First Witness.

NEW YORK, Feb. 7 (U.P). = A special Federal Grand Jury will be impaneled this afternoon to investigate the conduct of Martin T. Manton, whose resignation as ‘senior judge of the Second United States

Circuit Court of Appeals became effective last midnight. The first witness will be William

J. Fallon, serving an indeterminate}

prison sentence for commercial bribery.

In a letter to Chairman Hatton W. Sumners of the House Judiciary Committee last week, District Attorney Thomas E. Dewey said Fallon had been ‘a close associate” of Mr. Manton. Mr. Dewey said Fallon had asked Charles A. Rogers, insurance broker, to lend Mr. Manton $10,000, promising that in return; Mr. Manton would seek to get Mr. Rogers the insurance business of the Kings Brewery then in Federal receivership. Mr. Dewey’s letter to Mr. Sumners also charged Mr. Manton had borrowed $12,000 from John M. McGrath, trustee of the Prudence Company, Inc, now in the process of reorganization under the Federal Bankruptcy Act.

McGrath Resigns

Mr. McGrath resigned the trusteeship yesterday in Federal Judge

Grover M. Moscowitz’s court. The resignation was accepted as of last Saturday. Mr. Dewey's letter had said: “By May 28, 1937, McGrath had received $32,000 in fees as a trustee in the Prudence matter. On May 28, 1937, he gave Judge Manton $12,000 under the following circumstances: McGrath withdrew $12,000 from the Nydel Corp., a corporation of which he was one of the two stockholders. He cashed the check. With this cash he purchased a cashier's check which he turned over to Judge Manton. No part of the $12,000 has been repaid.”

Mr. Manton has been subpenaed to appear before the Grand Jury tomorrow. He vacated his chambers . in tae U. S. Court House yesterday. A Grand Jury subpena also has been issued for Federal Judge Edwin S. Thomas of Connecticut, who is at sea on vacation. The subpena will he served on him when his ship reaches Cristobal, C. Z.

POPPTOACT ON FUNERAL HOME

City Building Commission Ready to Ask Tyner To Close Place.

The City Building Commission today prepared to serve notice on Edward E, Tyner to discontinue the operation of a funeral home at 447 E. Maple Road, in compliance with a Superior Court decision.

However, the Superior Court order, issued last December by former Judge L. Ert Slack, sets .aside the variance as “illegal.”

Popp Jr. City Building Commis sioner, who is empowered to order Mr. Tyner to discontinue the home. When informed of the ruling, Mr. Tyner said he did not know what action he would take,

City’s Dads Lose Debate, Win Badges

Indianapolis City Councilmen soon will have specially designed badges, gold or silver plated, to identify themselves as city fathers. A little ruefully last night, they admitted they will have to pay for the badges themselves, since there is no provision for same in the budget. They at first asked for po-

lice badges, but LeRoy Keach, Safety Board President, said “No.” He kept saying no during the entire 35 minutes given over ‘to consideration of the matter.

City Council Studies Plan to ~ Transfer $15,000 for Barracks.

The fight against smallpox in Indianapolis moved on two fronts today as both preventive and curative measures ‘ were . taken by the City Health Board. City Council heard the first reading of an ordinance that would transfer $15,000 from the board's 1938 unexpended balance to equip and maintain a barracks now being

those infected with the disease. Dr. Herman Morgan, Board secretary, reported ‘almost complete co-operation from schools” in the Board's order that all pupils be immunized against the disease. At the same time DeWitt S. Morgan, schools superintendent, notified school principals that those included in the Health Board resolution should have certificates of

Health Board officials when called or. It was explained that, where matters of public health are concerned, the exelusion of any pupil or employee from school is a Health Board prerogative.

Barracks Being Built

‘The $15,000 appropriation would equip the barracks, now being constructed by the WPA near City Hos-

pital, and maintain it for from four to six months, Dr. Morgan said. Maintenance cost, he said, would be in direct ratio to the public response to the immunization program. Dr. Morgan continued: “Reports indicate that in three schools all but one teacher has now been vaccinated, while in two other schools, 95 per cent have had vaccinations. “The compulsory vaccination ore der of the Health Board will remain vin .effect indefinitely and there will be no exceptions.” '.
