S. Information Service tion. "It's another thing to defend crime on a retaining basis and we're going to break it up." It was learned that 90 percent of all numbers and other gambling cases during the last few years had been handled by "The Big Six" and the balance by the 3800 other Philadelphia lawyers. DOZENS DESCRIBE PROCEDURE Dozens of witnesses who slipped into a darkened office building and were spirited into the inquiry headquarters for questioning told of having bail mysteriously supplied at preliminary hearings, and legal counsel whom they had never seen before defending them in court.

"You don't hire a lawyer and you don't even know him until your name is called in court," a man arrested for numbers writing told the investigators. "When you go up to the bench the lawyer whispers to you how to plead and then he does the rest," the witness said. The witnesses have been given the protection of secrecy and everything possible is being done to see that they are not "reached," the Bar Association member said. OPEN TO PERJURY CHARGES "However," he added, "if they change their testimony we can prosecute them for perjury because they testified under oath. "We have the power of subpena and the testimony has been taken down by official court stenographers." Last January the committee members, John W.

Dawson, chairman; Walter E. Alessan-droni and Philip Price asked Police Commissioner Thomas J. Gibbons for trained police aid in their inquiry. Gibbons assigned detectives and policewomen to aid the investigation. By JOSEPH H.

TRACHTMAN Secret meetings held under cover, of darkness in a hideaway midcity office by investigators for the Philadelphia Bar Association have developed testimony that a group of lawyers known as "The Big Six" is employed by local gambling syndicates to provide legal protection for numbers writers and gamblers, The Inquirer learned yesterday. At meetings shrouded in mystery, special police and stenographers have heard gamblers testify under oath about the assembly-line legal defense of members of the underworld, it was learned. The cloak-and-dagger atmosphere adopted by the special committee investigating the activities of "The Big Six" was taken to protect informers against swift reprisal by "enforcing agencies" of the syndicates. INQUIRY SPURRED BY JUDGE Authorization for the committee activity came on Nov. 13, 1951, from the Common Pleas Court, of which the Bar Association is an arm.

The special committee's secret inquiry was supported by Judge Edwin O. Lewis on Dec. 6, 1951, when he charged that a number of Philadelphia lawyers had hired themselves out to the gamblers on a retaining basis. He urged the Bar Association to continue the inquiry. The secret meetings held for the last several months by the special committee have thrown enough light on the machinations of the lawyers' cartel to suggest possible disbarment proceedings against the attorneys for malpractice.

"It's all very well for a suspect to receive legal aid," said a member of the Bar Associa 'Voice' Chief in N.Y. Ousted by State Dept. By JOHN C. O'BRIEN Inquirer Washington Bureau WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.

Alfred H. Morton, chief of the Voice of America's operations in New York, was suspended by the State Department today for "voicing disagree-' ment" with a department directive banning use of the writings of Communists and fellow travelers in "Voice" broadcasts. Declaring that the suspension was the result of a misunderstanding, Morton arrived here from New York this afternoon for consultations with State Department officials. He was scheduled to discuss the suspension with Undersecretary of State Walter Bedell Smith, Undersecretary Donold B. Lourie and Assistant Secretary Carl McCardle.

Police Commissioner Thomas J. Gibbons said the arrests broke up a recently formed gang called "The Head Hunters." He added that 12 policemen who rounded up the members will be given special commendations in his City Hall office this morning. Deputy Police Commissioner Rich ard J. Doyle said the youths, armed with deadly switchblade knives, gan their wave of assaults and rob' beries after buvine two bottles of wine at a State liquor store at Broad and Bainbridge sts.

Agnes Hospital Women's Screams Rout Gov. Fine Plans Gives Up Prior Plan" For Study of Agency Under the personal urging of President Eisenhower and Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, Dr. Robert L. Johnson, president of Temple University, agreed last night to accept appointment immediately as chief of the State Department's International Information Service. Dr.

Johnson, in announcing his acceptance here, indicated his decision was based in part upon the Government's action in suspending Alfred H. Morton, chief of the Voice of America's operations in New York. UNAWARE OF ACTION The Temple University head had not been aware of the suspension when he stated earlier yesterday that he planned to "study" the job for a month before taking it on a full-time basis. He told of his original decision upon returning here from Washington conferences with the President and Dulles. His decision to take over immediately, he indicated, was made after the President and Secretary of State talked further with him, apparently by telephone, following his return here.

ASKED TO TAKE OVER "I have just learned from Secretary Dulles and President Eisen hower that the man who was sup posed to run the IIA while I was to make my study has been suspended and they have asked me to take over immediate command of the opera tion," Dr. Johnson said here.

PETERMAN Inquirer Staff Reporter UNITED NATIONS, N. Feb. 24. Delegates to the seventh General Assembly of the United Nations convened here today to hear a message of welcome from President Eisenhower expressing hoDe that the U.N. will be an increasingly effective instrument of peace.

The initial plenary session, short est on record, was marked by stiff formality. As an illustration of how curt and cold it was, the new U. S. chief delegate, Henry Cabot Lodge, declined even to extend his hand to Russia's Andrei Y. Vishinsky, in greeting.

All the American delegates avoided the Soviet group in the opening day's formalities, nearly as frosty as the front in Korea. CHANGE IS APPARENT That the advent of the new Ad ministration in Washington had brought a change was apparent at once. There were fewer flutterings about Vishinsky and his cohorts, no formalities beyond the brief call to committee work by Assembly president Lester B. Pearson, of Canada, not even the customary pause for meditation." The elapsed time of the entire meeting was exactly 10 minutes. They sat down at 3:10 P.

M. and were dismissed at 3 :20. Last Dec. 22, in an all-day and all-night wind-up which kept the Assembly wrangling over Andrei Gromyko's allegation of prisoner-of-war atrocities by the American command in Korea, the delegates quit at 4:45 A. establishing their longest session.

MANY SEATS EMPTY The public galleries were filled, as was the press section, but about a third of the delegation places were empty when the U.N, met. Pearson began by reading Mr. Eisenhower's greetings. "It is-a pleasure to welcome to the United States the delegates to the seventh session of the General Assembly of the United Nations," the President said. "The United Nations has already accomplished much.

I hope that it will grow in strength and become an increasingly effective instrument of peace. CHALLENGE OF PEACE "The achievement of a just and durable peace is essential to all the values which make life worth living. This task involves not only the building of collective security, it challenges our intelligence and our idealism on the whole broad front of human activitity. The delegates to this assembly have a great opportunity to advance the cause of peace. The world will watch your delibera- Contiaued on Page 6, Column 6 Morgan Heir's Bequest Upset NEW YORK, Feb.

24 (AP) Mrs. Eleanor Morgan Satterlee's hotly contested bequest of more than 000 to her lawyer was upset today and a new trial ordered. She was a granddaughter of J. P. Morgan, famed banker.

Mrs. Satterlee died of cancer in 1951 at the age of 46, leaving the bulk of her estate to Attorney Sol A. Rosenblatt, onetime counsel to the Democratic National Committee Her sister contested the will. A four-man appeals court found support for the charge that Rosen blatt and Richard Hoffman, Park ave. psychiatrist, "collaborated to their benefit and to her detriment Strangled dead in her crib in a Plymouth father, James Fitzpatrick, 26, of told police his wife was missing.

Fitzpatrick returned from work at 4:15 P. M. to find his daughter, Mary Theresa, dead and his wife, Wynell, 26, absent, police said. SCRIBBLED NOTE FOUND The husband, who is employed by and Batteries, Consho-hocken, told police he found a note scribbled on the back of an envelope which said: Jim, forgive me. There was no signature.

Fitzpatrick said he found his daughter in her crib in the living room. An empty nursing bottle was on the floor beside the crib. The father noticed the child had a "strange color," and walked through the house looking for his wife. He couldn't find her and went next door to the apartment of Paul Lawless, where his wife often used the telephone. Mrs, Fitzpatrick was not there.

The husband telephoned a Norris- town physician and was advised to Continued on Pace 12, Column 2 MORTON OPTIMISTIC "I'm sure it will be cleared up to everyone's satisfaction," Morton told newsmen on his arrival.

McCar dle indicated there might be a further announcement tomorrow, but he emphasized again "this is a tem porary suspension for an indicated disagreement." Morton's suspension was announced by McCardle, who explained that the chief of the "Voice's" New York office had sent a "confidential memorandum to the International Information Administration voicing disagreement with toe directive."

24 (AP). Gordon Clapp and George Wessen-auer top Tennessee Valley Author ity officials were injured seriously tonight when a twin engine TVA plane crashed two miles short of the Tri-Cities Airport near here. Clapp, TVA chairman, and Wes-senauer, director of power, were reported in serious condition on arrival at a Bristol hospital. Three other members of the party apparently were uninjured, the hospital reported. They were Herschel Flemming.

32, of Knoxville, the pilot; Roger Mahan, 31. co-pilot, and Robert Clark, of the TVA budget department. Flemming said the plane was en route from Washington to Knoxville when trouble developed in one of his engines. He decided to make an emergency instrument approach to the airport which serves the Bristol, Kingsport and Johnson City areas. As he neared the airport, he said, both engines died and the plane crashed in a muddy field two miles short.

Fine said this afternoon that it was "quite likely" that he would call together the members of the Interstate Commission on the Delaware River Basin (Incodel) and the members of the Pennsylvania Water Resources Committee and their respective engineers in the near future. He said that he was considering calling such a meeting in the hope that the opposing engineering con clusions of the two groups "might in some way" be reconciled. CRITICISM RECOGNIZED It was the first official indication on the Governor's part that he had recognized sharp criticism of the re port of the Water Resources Com mittee, submitted to him February 8 by a committee headed by Albert M. Greenfield, Philadelphia realtor Asked if he has "closed the door" on the $564,000,000 Incodel Plan, which would require concurrent ac tion on an interstate compact by the States of Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey and Delaware, th Gov ernor responded: "I have not slammed the door on the Incodel Plan."

24 (UP). Some 2000 fugitives from fear slipped through the Iron Curtain into West Berlin today, setting new daily and monthly records in the exodus from Soviet Germany. Refugee registration offices al ready were swamped by Germans who escaped across the border over the week-end, and no one knew ex actly how many new arrivals reach ed safety today. There was no doubt however, that it was the greatest number ever to flee from the Reds in one day. Baby Found WASHINGTON, Feb.

24 (AP). Top aides of President Eisenhower reportedly told Congress today that they saw little chance) of drastic cutbacks in defense-foreign aid spending now and that it was questionable whether the budget could be balanced in the coming fiscal year. Mr. Eisenhower has said a balanced budget must be in sight before tax levies could be lowered. Secretary of the Treasury Georg M.

Humphrey told newsmen it would be "two or three months" before th Administration had any definite tax recommendations for Congress. DULLES CITES TENSIONS In major developments: 1. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles reportedly told Congress that world tensions would bar any deep cuts in this country's multi-billion-dollar defense and foreign aid spending. 2. Budget Director Joseph Dodge reportedly testified it was questionable whether the Federal budget could be balanced in fiscal 1954, beginning July 1.

Dulles, Dodge and Humphrey all testified at a closed-door session of the Senate Banking Committee. The committee is exploring the need for some kind of standby authority to clamp down wage-price controls again in the event of an emergency. The present control law expires April 30. CAPEHART TO OFFER BILL Chairman Homer Capehart Ind.) said he would introduce a bill tomorrow authorizing the President to impose a 90-day freeze on prices, wages and rents in an emergency. Capehart said the over-all picture painted by Dodge and Humphrey "certainly is not pleasant," and added: "We have these tremendous commitments." Senator A.

Willis Robertson Va.) said Dodge complained that Congress had authorized more in spending since 1950 than the expected income. "That's his big headache," Robert son said. HUGE FUNDS EARMARKED Much of the money appropriated by Congress was for expenditures over a period of several years ahead. Funds earmarked for future spend ing apply particularly to naval con struction, airplanes and other equipment that takes several years to complete. Senator Harry Byrd Va.) has said there was $100,000,000,000 still unspent from Congressional appro priations voted in past years.

He urged that much of the money be rescinded. However, one senator present at today's hearing quoted Dodge as saying he did not believe Byrd's proposal is practical. STEADY PRICES SEEN Capehart said Humphrey told the committee he believed the Nation's economy was "pretty well in balance" and that prices would remain on an even keel "barring some unforeseen emergency." Capehart said he personally believed the budget "can and ought to be" balanced, but commented: "I don't know whether we will do it." Capehart said Dulles gave the committee a review of the global picture and sized it up as "about the same as a year ago no better and no worse." Manchuria or any place else," he urged. "People have told me that our planes going into Manchuria would create an incident that would start a Third World War," he continued. He termed the warning "pure, unadulterated bunk."

Senator Harry Byrd Va.) today was unanimously re-elected chair man of the Committee on Reduc tion of Non-essential Federal Ex penditures. The Virginian thus became the only Democrat to receive a permanent Congressional chairmanship under the new Republican administration.

Representative John Taber N. proposed Byrd's re-election, and Secretary of the Treasury George M. Humphrey seconded the motion. Byrd aided President Eisenhower's cause in the November election by refusing to support the Democratic candidate, Adlai E. Stevenson.

Byrd told reporters budget director Joseph Dodge said that if spending was not cut and some taxes allowed to expire, the Federal deficit for a full year of operations might reach $15,000,000,000. Anti-Reds Ready In China, U. S. Told WASHINGTON, Feb. 24 (AP).

She assumed he was a neighbor whom she did not know. For this reason, she said, she did not become sus picious when he took by the arm and walked witn tnem down the street.

MOTHER BECOMES ALARMED When the three turned the corner and were lost to sight, Mrs. Paul became worried and went after the boys to call them back. She became alarmed wnen tney paid her no heed, and she became frantic when Mrs. Scharfs sister, Mrs. Gertrude Rothman, who lives nearby, asked her, "Sylvia, do you know that man?" "No, I thought you did," Mrs.

Paul replied. After that, Mrs. Paul said, sne started running after the children. She was joined by Mrs. Rothman and other women who had heard the disturbance.

Scharf and Mrs. Paul tele phoned police, and a large detail of patrolmen and detectives was dis patched to search the area for the kidnaper, described as a man be tween 45 and 50 years old, about five feet 10 inches tall, and weighing nearly 200 pounds. He was said to have a round face, dark brown hair, and wore a tan jacket, light gray trousers and black shoes.
