Tydings for questioning today about a charge that he "put the bite" o.T a liquor dealer he had under investigation in 1944-45. Tydings, cousin of former Sen. Millard E.

Tydings formerly was assistant supervisor in charge of enforcement in the Atlanta otiice of the Treasury's Alcohol Tax Division. Carleton R. McQuown, who worked under Tydings in Atlanta, told a House Ways Means subcommittee Monday what he had found in looking into the financial relationship between Tydings and Jack Garner, the liquor dealer. McQuown testified that Garner guaranteed a 53,000. note for Tydings at the Bank of Atlanta at about the time Garner was under investigation for allegedly selling whisky above OPA ceiling prices.

McQuown said he drew up a report alleging that Garner made overcharges totalling 3687,000, but at Tydings' direction the report was rewritten and the amount reduced to $450,000. Divorce Case Sheds Light OnCostelio Testimony of Mrs. Anna Genovese May Disclose Evidence Long Sought by Government in Backet Probe. FREEHOLD, N.J. planned to listen closely today to testimony in a case here which told them facts about the worldwide crime syndi- cate headed 'by Frank Costello which they have been un'able to pin down in years of their own investi- I gallons.

The gold mine of information was Mrs. Anna Genovese, 48, estranged wife of racke' overlord Vito Genovese. In a few hours on the witness chair Monday she spilled a wide jassortment of secrets about the op- Aerations oi America's bigtime racketeers. Genovese, once described by I Gov. Thomas E.

Dewey of New' York as of the racketeers," sued his wife for divorce. Mrs. Genovese brought her own suit for S350 a week separate maintenance. Both cases are being tried together in Superior Court here before Judge Donald H. McLean.

Genovese, she testified, takes in a week from syndicate enterprises that include gambling casinos, narcotics, control of labor rackets on the New York waterfront, an "Italian lottery in New York," dog and race track operations and a few "legitimate" business interests in the United States and abroad. "He's involved in almost all the rackets," the fashionably-dressed Mrs. Genovese testified. Her husband sat impassively in' the courtroom surrounded by several tough- looking companions. She said she had been afraid to tell about Genovese's crime career in the past because he had threatened her with death.

She said she lied when she testified about him before the Kefauver Crime Committee. Her testimony was sprinkled with the names of such underworld bigwigs as Frank Costello, Albert Anastasia and the late Willie Moretti. She even mentioned a time when she and Genovese were entertained lavishly by the late Hermann Goering, the Nazi air marshal, and the late Count Ciano, son-in-law of Benito Mussolini, during a trip to Italy before World War II. Vlto met with other members of the syndicate in' New York every Tuesday and Thursday to discuss business and divide their spoils, she said. Genovese faces a deportation action brought by the Justice Department on the ground he lied about his criminal record when he was naturalized in 1936.

He was arrested several times before he obtained citizenship.

The clerk sent out 4,172 notices a month ago, but no reply was received from almost three-fourths of them.

Those who failed to apply for reinstatement must register again if they desire to vote in next year's elections. Weinberg's Counsel Asks for Dismissal Of Perjury Charges WASHINGTON trial of Dr. Joseph W. Weinberg entered its final phase today with the defense seeking dismissal of the perjury charges against the so- called "Scientist The 35-year-old physicist is charged with lying to the Un- American Activities Committee in 1949 when he testified he was never a Communist and had not knowingly attended Communist meetings. The -committee dubbed him "Scientist and accused him of passing atomic secrets to Communist agents while employed at the radiation laboratory at the Universitv of California early in World War II.

As the trial went into its sixth day the prosecution was ready to present rebuttal witnesses to testimony offered by the defense. Weinberg's lawyers then planned to ask Judge Alexander Holtzoff to dismiss the two charges against Weinberg. If Holtzoff overrules defense motions for dismissal, the case is expected to go to the jury late today or Wednesday following final arguments by the lawyers and instructions from the judge. The jury is composed of eight men and four women, nine of whom are government employes. The defense abruptly rested its case Monday after calling only one principal witness and two character witnesses to attest Weinberg's reputation for veracity.

Read The Classified Ads Ike's Condemnation Resolution Amended WASHINGTON (UP) Senate Foreign Relations Committee, over Democratic protests, today amended President Eisenhower's resolution condemning Russian "perversion" of wartime agreements. It then approved the revised version by an almost straight party line vote.

The amendment, offered by Senate GOP Leader Robert A. Taft, angered Democratic committee members who considered it a slap at the late President Roosevelt and former President Truman who negotiated the Yalta and Potsdam agreements with Russia and Britain. Taft's amendment added these words to the Eisenhower resolution: "The adoption of this resolution does not constitute any determination by the Congress as to the validity or invalidity of any of the provisions of the said agreements or understandings." Court Notes Mrs. Patricia Foster, 215 Montgomery street, charges cruelty in a suit for divorce from Alfred Foster filed in the Cass Circuit court Thursday. She asks the restoration of her maiden name, Bower.

The plaintiffs are the former w.ife and children of the defendant, John H.

White. The complaint alleges the property was purcshased through the joint savings of Alice Davidson and John White, and that she agreed to deed her half interest to him during the divorce proceedings in return for his promise to make a home for their three children and provide for them, but that he failed to do so. The divorce was granted Aug. 10, 1951, but the children have resided with their mother since April 25, 1952. She asks that the deed be set aside since there was no consideration.

The suit was filed through Attorney Keith Campbell and the law firm of Hillis and Hiilis. Mrs. Hazel Irene Piercy, 316'i East Melbourne, charges cruelty in a suit for divorce from Howard Piercy in circuit court.

WASHINGTON (UP) Reed Harris, acting chief of the Voice of America, told Senate investigators today he has always opposed the Communist party. Harris conceded he had not always opposed the "broad of Marxism, but hastily added that that was some 20 years ago and he has changed his mind since. He said he now believes none of Karl Marx's Communistic theories and always was opposition to the Communist Party "the Soviet-controlled mechanism.".
