A—4 xx BROWN T0 ORDER | POLICE SUSPENDED Five Named in Gambling In- dictments Also to Face Force Trial Board. The five policemen named today in gambling conspiracy indictments will be suspended wt once and sent before the Police Trial Board after court action against them is completed, Maj. Ernest W. Brown announced today. Maj. Brown says he intends to go over evidence presented to the grand Jury by Lieut. Floyd Truscott and Detective Sergt. Earl Hartman to determine whether any other officers, besides those indicted, are involved: All of the officers have good rec- ords, Maj. Brown said, and the discov- ery of evidence apparently linking them with gamblers came as a shock. The indicted men's fellow officers were particularly surprised over the charges against Precinct Detective Fred An- tonelli, 51, of the second precinct, & veteran of 27 years' service. Pvt. Willlam B. Satterthwaite, 38, 8nother of those indicted, was de- moted as a precinct detective at- tached to the second precinct in April. At that time, Maj. Brown said there Wwas no indication that the officer was associating with gamblers and his demotion was based on grounds of inefficiency. Satterthwaite, who was appointed to the force in 1925, has been serving as patrolman in the third brecinct since he was demoted Precinct Detective Charles A. (Buck) Berry, eleventh precinct, is one of the oldest precinct plain- clothes men on the force in point of rervice. He was appointed in 1919 &nd made a precinct detective four years later. Of the others indicted, Policeman Frank M. White, 43, second precinct, was appointed in 1923, and Police- man Albert M. Embrey, 28, was ap- pointed in 1931, Indictments (Continued From First Page.) Under the legal guidance of As- aistant United States Attorneys Sam- uel F. Beach and Roger Robb, Truscott and Hartman paraded their under- eover agents and raiders before the grand jury several davs a week for a month and & half. The two prosecu- tors were loud in their praise of the thoroughness with which the two young officers had done their work. The central conspiracy indictment includes Dietz, William W. Cahill of Baltimore, said to be his partner; Charles Schweitzer, described as a lieutenant; 9 employes and 14 men Wwho, police say, are the “big shots” who took Dietz's racing information service. Officials say they believe the infor- mation was hi-jacked from Nation- wide News, successor to General News, & national sporting information serv- 1ce, which left Washington several years ago under a “gentleman’s agree- ment” with United States Attorney Leslie C. Garnett. From Baltimore, they claim, it was rebroadcast to Washington and then relayed from the Albee Building headquarters to ®ix or more substations throughout the city and thence to the gambling Joints, Phone Company Clamped Down. ‘The Albee Building eighth-floor suite officially was the home of National Telecast, Inc,, which had many legit- imate eustomers. During the height of the raids it was put out of busi- ness by the refusal of the Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone Co. to con- tinue to allow the use of the company’s wires. The raid on the place was made by Internal Revenue Bureau agents, who had been listening in over tapped wires for several months. Informa- tion that the “tap” had been discov- ered precipitated a hasty raid, in which Dietz was arrested. Although two telephone company employes were caught by the revenue men, they were not charged in the indictment. The raiders found. in addition to the com- plicated system of lines servicing Washington, direct wires to Montreal, New York and Baltimore. Named in the indictment and described as employes of Dietz and Cahill were Benjamin Cohen, Percy May, Samuel W. Lawder, Cecil C. Hays, Raymond T. Reeve, Claude Irving, who was said to be a wire expert; Samuel B. Brown, Ray Law- son, Baltimore broadcaster, and Charles J. Bird. Next on the list was Perry Bonner, well-known private detective. His part in the conspiracy was not speci- fled, but it was understood he is ac- cused of helping secure the installa- tion of telephones. Nuckols Included. Best known of the alleged book- makers included in the true bill were Carroll Peyton (Nubby) Nuckols and Nicholas Floratos, alias Nick the Greek. Nuckols allegedly operated estab- lishments at 1007 and 1009 Ninth street and at 1230 Fourteenth street. The Ninth street places were raided numerous times. The establishmeent said to be run by Floratos was at 922-24 Ninth street, Others charged with conspiracy were Louis Waldron, who was arrested in an uptown apartment: Harry Schmidt, said to be connected with resorts at 1014 Fourteenth street and in the Munsey Building; Harry A. Young, Moe Morganstein, described #s Nuckols' associate; Frederick J, Bchofield, who police say operated a switchboard located in the 1200 block of Hamlin street northeast; George Mason, arrested following a raid in the 1100 block of Fourteenth street; Henry Peliconis, George W. Shettel, Jjr.; Isaac Michelson, Walter W. Davis, Walter H. Dickhout and Wilbur Dorsey. Indicted Under Aliases. Several of them were indicted under various aliases, which included nu- merals said to be their telephone call numbers. The anti-gambling campaign, cli- maxed by today’s indictments, began 8s a joint drive by United States At- torney Garnett, Supt. of Police Ernest W. Brown and the Bureau of Internal Revenue. A]l three assigned under- cover agents to the work, the largest number—about 20—coming from the Federal agency. For four or five months they listened over tapped wires acquiring a vast amount of evidence. Then came the Dietz raid. Truscott and Hartman next swung Into action, with the entire facilities of the Police Department at their disposal. They picked the raiders, furnished each squad with maps, floor plans and detailed instructions for every raid and co-ordinated evidence obtained from the raids: Tip Cripples Spectacular Raid. ‘The most spectacular event of the drive was a series of raids March 10, !

Divided into raiding parties, they were sent out simultaneously under sealed orders. But a tip-off | marred the plan and only 11 of the 18 ralds planned were successful. From that time urtil June 22, the raids continued with regularity. Four hundred and sixty persons in all were arrested, 130 charged and 111 indicted. The other 13 to make up the 124 total, were arrested as a result of three raids conducted without any connection with the co-ordinated series.

C, FRIDAY, JULY 2, 1937 NON-NTERVENTION PLEA FALS AGAIN Hitler and Duce Now Pro- " pose Equal Belligerent Rights in Spain. BACKGROUND— Germany and Italy withdrew wurships from naval cordon around Spain last week and rebuffed pro- posal British and French ships fill gap. Committee, striving to bolster sagging 27-power non-intervention scheme, held Italo-German refusal “inadmissidble,” and new approaches were formulated. By the Associated Pre LONDON, July 2.—Germany and Italy today formally rejected an Anglo-French proposal for taking over the entire international non- intervention patrol of Spair's coasts and offered counter-proposals. The two nations, which have re- called warships from the Spanish patrol, proposed that belligerent rights be accorded both the Spanish gov- ernment and the regime of Insurgent Gen, Francisco Franco. Stand by Non-Intervention. Both Germany and Italy stated they were “resolved to maintain the principle of non-intervention.” The German-Italian counter-pro- posals said: “The two governments are con- scicus of the real difficulties of the situation and think that all the more their duty to all is to seek new ways and methods to make non-interven- tion as effective as possible.” The two powers then proposed that “all interested powers agree to grant to the two parties in Spain belligerent rights.” A number of arguments were pre- sented in behalf of the suggestion. Germany and Italy declared that “the patrol system by four powers has utterly failed” and that the two combatants in Spain with their own ships and acting with belligerent rights, could establish “an effective form of patrol.” ‘Would Assume Responsibility. They pointed out that by receiving & status under international rules of war, the warring sides would “as- sume towards neutral states full re- sponsibility for the conduct of war- fare in the air, on land and on the el In the face of non-agreement for the time being on the Italo-German counter-proposals, France and Britain were reported to have formulated a | firm stand that might lead even to abandonment of the whole scheme | for isolating Spain from men and arms. The Non-Intervention Subcommit- tee which heard the Italo-German stand today adjourned to await a late afternoon meeting. Favor Land Patrol. It was understood the Italians and the Germans advocated maintenance of an international land patrol of Spain (they are particularly drsirous that there be control of any arms ship- ments to across the French frontier). France and Britain, in turn, insisted that a naval patrol of Spain's coasts also re- main an integral part of any non- intervention scheme. This brought no agreement from the Fascist and Nazi representatives, al- though they said they were willing to | consent to maintenance of interna- tional supervision of Spainward ship- ments at Iberian ports and the em- barkation of neutral observers on mer- chant ships bound for Spain. {MAN IS CRITICALLY HURT BY OLD DOMINION CAR George W.

President Congratulates Canada in Radio Talk. By the Assoclated Press. HYDE PARK, N. Y., July 2.—Presi- dent Roosevelt, who felicitated Canada last night on the confederation's seventieth anniversary, faced today one of those rare occasions in the life of a President—a day with not a single caller on his engagement calendar. As members of the family who came East for the Roosevelt-Du Pont wed- ding began to scatter, he planned to stay close to his mother's Dutchess County estate except for & possible motor ride around the countryside. Mr. and Mrs. John Boettiger, son- in-law and daughter, left early to catch plane for Seattle. The President capped the first of five days he intends to spend here with a radio address last night congratulating Canada on the seventieth anniversary of ‘her confederation. “‘Ours is an enviable record o. f-iend- ship and amity,” he said in exchanging greetings with Lord Tweedsmuir, Can-Aa’s governor general, “as witness an unfortified boundary of more than 5.000 miles as the outward and visible token of mutual confidence and good will. “This friendship between our two peoples is secure from every hazard of destruction or misunderstanding be- cause it is based upon a common aspi- ration to maintain, to defend, and to | perpetuate the democratic form of | constitutional, representative govern- ment.” Lord Tweedsmuir, in reply, said the two nations were marching “in the | same direction toward the same goal,” ; Scouts lgonhnl{id Prom }"!r!\ Page ) Herbert Hoover, Colin H.
