Doyle, commander of Suffolk Dist. Atty. Garrett H. Byrne's Office, spoke to one of the men in jail. He agreed to turn informer.

A second gang member delivered corroborating information to FBI agents after the initial disclosure. Members of the gang were made up of an axis from the Erie, and Greater Boston areas. Their activities covered a time period extending through 1967 well into 1968. A Revere holdup alone netted them in excess of $100,000. grand juries District attorneys in Middlesex, Essex, Norfolk and Hampden Counties were made aware of events by Byrne's office to clear the decks for Grand Jury action in their jurisdictions.

Made a life peeress five years ago in recognition of her long leadership of the Liberal Party, she reverted to her maiden name and became Baroness Asquith of Yarnbury. She was the daughter of the Liberal Prime Minister Herbert Asquith, who led Britain from 1908 to 1916. After campaigning for her father during his successful political comeback in 1920, she was deeply involved in politics for the rest of her life, as a champion of liberal causes and a leader of the Liberal Party. "Neutrality is not in my makeup," she once said. "I have never sat on any fence since I was born.

I don't feel comfortable on fences."

Donahue told a legislative committee today. Donahue said the "time has come for the non-industrial states to help solve the problems of the nation's urban centers" through a Federal pick-up of all welfare costs.

Noting that half of the $1.5 bfllion budget pending before the Legislature is for welfare and Medicaid programs, Donahue said the same risb.g costs hit such other industrial states as New York, Pennsylvania, California, Illinois, Michigan and New Jersey. "Unless the Federal government absorbs these costs, the urban problems will grow still worse and the costs will run out of control," Donahue told the Legislature's Committee on Social Welfare. Donahue appeared before the committee to urge passage of his bill, filed jointly with Atty. Gen. Robert H.

Quinn when he was House speaker, asking Congress to assume the total cost of welfare. The industrial states have over the years "paid the bills" for the advancement of the non-industrial states, said Donahue. "These non industrial states sould now return our kindness and help us fight this battle against poverty through Federal absorption of all welfare costs," he said.

Chisholm was counsel for Ronald A. Cassesso, 35, of Somerville, at the triaL In his motion for dismissal of the contempt charges, Chisholm said those charges will substantially interfere with his acting as lawyer for his client in a pending case and deprive his client of the services of a lawyer as guaranteed to him by the Constitution. No date was set for a hearing on Chisholm's motion.
