Rover. Neudecker s to re-enter private law practice in ‘ashington. A former Washington newspaper man, Neudecker has maintained a high aver- age of success as Federal prosecutor, particularly - in cases involving viola- tions of the prohibition law. During the eight months that he conducted the prosecution of liquor cases in the United States branch of the Police Court in 1927 ond 1928, only two defendants ‘were acquitted in trials by jury and his record of convictions in this court was the highest ever scored by any prosecu- tor, according to attaches of the court. Heaviest Penalties. ‘The heaviest penalties ever inflicted by the court in cased where offenders *were convicted by verdict of a jury were imposed on defendants whom Neudecker prosecuted. Neudecker was one of the first Fed- eral officials to urge abolition of the practice of using police informers to get evidence in prohibition cases. This suggestion was put into practice when United States Commissioner Turnage refused to issue warrants in liquor cases umless informers were carefully covered in their movements by the of- ficers. Neudecker served the Government in both criminal divisions of the District Supreme Court .and in the Court of Appeals. Served in Navy. ‘When he was appointed to the dis- rict attorney’s office in 1924 he had been at the bar for four years, having previously been on the editorial staff of The Star. He is a graduate of Georgetown University and studied law before the war at Vanderbilt Univer- sity and George Washington University. During the war he served in the Navy and was with the Tennessee National Guard on_the Mexican border. He is 32 years old and married. Neudecker is a member of the District Bar Association, the Kappa Alpha Praternity and the Washington Cham- ber of Commerce, where he has served on the legal aid committee. 0DD WAR MEMENTOS GIVEN THRIFT SHOP Articles Made From Salvaged Ma- terial Will Go on Sale Tomorrow.
