On President

Urges Delay on Labor Laws Till Court Acts

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11 —Senator Raymond E. Willis (R. Ind)~who s ending his term in the senate— paid a farewell courtesy call on President Truman today. “I told the President now that he has licked John L. Lewis, he ought to make Joe Stalin back down also if he gets tough” Senator Willis commented laughingly. “The President reported real progress on the peace front. He sald we are making good strides now in getting along with Russia and with the exercise of both patience and firm-

ness, peace is assured.” In accepting Senator Willis’ con-

Lewis coal strike, President Truman pointed out that the case ls pot completely settled yet. He told the senator that it reached a point where he had to take an adamant stand. or .there wouldn't be any government of the United States. Senator Willis said he told the President he thought congress should await the supreme court decision in the coal case before considering new labor legislation.

Truman's Job Strenuous

Senator Willis also reported on his trip to Copenhagen as a member of the American delegation to the world food conference. He was appointed a delegate by President Truman. They had served in the senate together and Senator Willis was named because he was & minority member of the senate agriculture committee. “President Truman should take a8 much rest as he can get in the

Trumans Enterfain Jurists At State Reception

Dignified Affair Doesn't Keep Some Guests From Doing a Little White House ‘Sight Seeing’

By DOROTHY WILLIAMS United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11 (U. P)~It was a stately and dignified gathering, but even then some of the guests couldn't resist the tempta-

tion of a little sight seeing. It was the White House, after

covering the walls in one parlor. “I happen to have a friend in the White House,” one guest confided to another. “They got this new damask at (she mentioned a Fifth--avenue department store). 90 Attend

The occasion was last night's White House reception for the judiciary, the first state reception at the executive mansion since before the war. About 900 guests, including cabinet members and various agency heads, attended. But it was chiefly the judiciary's party. For more than an hour mem= bers of the bench, ranging from the supreme to the lesser courts, and their wives filed through the historic main floor of the White House to shake hands with President and Mrs. Truman. Then they moved from the blue room, where the President and his wife greeted them, into the walnutpanelled state dining room for refreshments of punch and cakes and sweets, Federal District Judge T.

Goldsborough, who recently levied fines against John L. Lewis and his United Mine Workers for contempt of court, was among the guests clustered about a raspberry punch bowl. Supreme Court Present At the other end of the mansion a marine band played dance music beneath the three vast crystal chandeliers of the east room. One of the dancers was Assistant Attorney General John F. Sonnett, the former navy officer who prosecuted the government's case against Mr. Lewis. Chief Justice Fred M. Vinson and the rest of the supreme court bench were on hand. So were the cabinet members with the exception of Sec retary of Agricture Clinton P. Anderson and Postmaster General Robert M. Hannegan. They are out of town. Eric Johnston, former head of the U. 8. Chamber of Commerce and now president of the Motion Picture association, was one of the few out-of-towners present.

today,” Senator Willis commented. “He looked tired and his voice was husky. Last night he had the judicial reception with 500 guests and that is wearing. His daily duties are harrowing and he is doing his best in an extremely difficult job.” “I feel sure that he will recommend some new labor legislation, to curb such powers as those of Mr. Lewis, in his message to the 80th congress.”

Embezzler Says Partner Was Innocent

Former Evansville Banker Takes Blame

Times Stale Service EVANSVILLE, Ind., Dec. 11.—The federal court testimony of Sterling Perry, former bank vice president here, continued today with further denials that an associate knew bank funds were being embezzled. ‘The associate, Harry R. Randall, oil promoter, is being tried on| charges of conspiracy to violate na-| tional banking laws. Perry last summer was round] guilty on similar charges and sentenced to a 15-year term in the “model” federal penal colony at Terre Haute, . “I carried him (Randall) myself {as long as my money held out,” emphatically asserted the 54-year-old Evansville socialite, whose surprise trip to Indianapolis and confession last May astonished this community. He shook his head negatively on the witness stand, when U. 8. District Attorney B. Howard Caughran charged that Randall could not help but have known that bank funds were being embezzled.

to “cover” the oil promoter’s checks until his money was exhausted. Then, he began to take money
