Murder’s ‘Cheap’

NEW YORK, Apr. 8 There seems to be some mild amazement around town that a former felon named Red Hart reaped only an aggregate year and a half in Sing-8ing as punishment for a piece of pique which resulted in the slaying of a man named Alexander Taras. That Hart was a housebreaker (charge reduced from burglary) and had been arrested for rape, while Taras was an honorably discharged vet, married, are merely sidebar incidents. Taras was marching in a National Guard parade. According to police, Hart and his brother, Peter, heckled the marchers. As the parade slowed down for its members to enter a subway station, Red Hart attacked Taras with his fists. Taras died as a result of the attack. Hart pleaded not guilty to a charge of manslaughter. Tater, he pleaded guilty to seconddegree assault. The Brooklyn district attorney's office recommended acceptance of the plea. It is in the power of the presiding judge to refect a D. A's recommendation, and has been done in the past,

$1500 ‘Pays Off Murder

JUDGE SAMUEL LEIBOWITZ sentenced the killer to from 21; to 5 years. With time off for good behavior and credit for the time spent in awaiting trial, the penalty came to about 17 months and 26 days for killing a man. This is not surprising, really. This is the town where it once was possible to buy yourself loose from a murder for 15 hundred bucks, If the mayor's brother, Paul O'Dwyer, represented you. This is the same town where Judge Louis Goldstein lets a baseball manager go free of a black Jack assault charge, with hosannahs in the sacred name of baseball to accompany him. I have referred before to the $1500 purchase in cold-blooded murder, and would like to dust it off again. Early in 1947 a drunken private cop named Joseph Kelly hauled out a gun and cracked down on a Puerto Rican busboy in the subway station. "Kelly's testimony varied between an alle-

--gation that he was so drunk he suspected some-

body of picking his pocket, and also that the victim, Hector Orta, asked him to get off the subway to have a drink, Kelly had never seen Orta before. Kelly beat a rap of drunken murder with a suspended sentence, a probation of five years, and

WASHINGTON, Apr. 8—I'm still trying to keep an open mind in the name-calling contest between McCarthy, Sen. Joe, and Lattimore, Dr. Owen. Sen. Joe says Dr. Owen is a Communist spy and also a bum; Dr. Owen says Sen. Joe is a liar and a slinger of mud. These battlers have called each other so. many names that they don’t

HE WALKED into the Senate caucus room with a retinue consisting of two lawyers, his handsome but rougeless wife, his mother and father, his son, and an Oriental character with a close haircut,-a red muffler, and a brown overcoat, who turned out to be the only living Buddha in Baltimore, Md. . The Buddha, who you may remember as having said last week that he was offering fierce prayers for Dr. Lattimore's welfare, took a seat behind the press- table. The members of the fourth estate spent fruitiess minutes trying to learn how the Buddha spelled his name. Each one came up with a different answer. Mine was: Dilowa Hutukhtu. Dr. Lattimore, the distinguished Oriental specialist of the United Nations when he isn’t a professor at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, was a surprise to me. He didn't look much like his pictures in the papers. For one thing his small mustache, which photographs black, was sandy and an exact match in color for his pale-rimmed eyeglasses. He had
