He said he thought there was

no question but that the “highest |

officials” of the American Tele-| phone & Telegraph Co. know they |

are “alding and abetting this illegal operation.”

Mr. Hunt announced that he,

will ask the committee to call!

telephone officials, presumably |

about layoff betting handled by |

Mr. Carroll said he thought Mr. .

Hunt's statement was untrue. “What's untrue?” Mr. snapped, © ‘Mr. Carroll replied that he referred to Mr. Hunt's remark about telephone officials.

What Can They Do?

“Mr. Carroll, you don’t believe’

a word you’ re -saying, "Mr. Hunt rétorted. Mr." Carroll latef, ‘apologized and said he merely, - meant -that the highest telephone ‘ officials did not knaw they were! helping anything illegal. “If they did,” he asked. could .they do about it?” Mr. Hunt said the teléphone | companies could disconnect telephones if they knew they were used for illegal purposes. Committee Chairman Estes Kefauver .(D. Tenn.) said he agreed with Mr. Hunt. He said telephone* company officials at St. Louis

“what

knew their service was used for, -

betting. Mr. Kefauver said a committee digest of .collect dong distance. telephone calls to .John Mooney, whom he called an East St. Louis, III, associate of Mr. Carroll! added up to 228 pages covering four months in '1950. The calls, he said, apparently tame.

He_explained that he takes bets from thei and has not taken a bet from anybody else in the past several years. Referring to the operation as

the “M. & G.,” Mr. Carroll claimed

that he was not a partner and has “no interest” in it. But he said that he gets 50 per .cent of the profits each year and that in 1942, when it was founded. the 50 per cent amounted to $110.000.

Freyn Wins Tilt In Mayor Race

Ruled Legal Candidate __On Democratic Ticket

George E F rey n,

lumbing. contractor,

prominent P today was ruled ‘a legal candidate for the = Democratic mayvoralty nomination after a hearing in Superior Court : 4,

The decision was handed down by Special Judge George Henry in a test suit that had challenged Mr. Freyn's qualifications to run for Mayor on the grounds he is ‘not a legal resident inside the : City of Indianapolis. The test suit, brought by Glenn W. Funk, Republican attorney, had asked the court to purge Mr. [‘reyn’s name from the list of

candidates for Mayor. Offers Key Evidence Mr. Funk produced evidence

that Mr. Freyn’s registration for voting, dated Oct. 1, 1950, was at = 1455 E. 77th St. in Washington Township outside the. city limits. The records showed, however, that the registration was transferred last Feb. 23 from the 77th St. address to the Indianapolis Athletic Club. Mr. Freyn testified that he had been a resident. of.Indianapotis for 52 years and * ‘never intend to live anywhere else.” He said that when he moved to the 77th St. address he was informed that it was inside the City. “TI consider myself a resident of Indianapolis and always will,” he said. Judge Henry, in upholding Mr. Freyn's right to be a candidate sald under, previous court cases and the law “it is a question of a man's intention as to where his legal residence is.”
