Her attorney, Archibald Palmer, demanded that each juror be polled and this was done by the clerk, Paul A. Roser. Palmer announced that the verdict will be appealed to the U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals, and if necessary, to the Supreme Court.

Miss Coplon, 28, a Barnard College honor graduate, still faces trial in New York along with Valentine A. Gubitchev, a Russian, on espionage conspiracy charges. Under count one of the indictment under which she was convicted today the maximum penalty is ten years and $10,000 fine. That count accused Miss Coplon of taking secret reports from FBI files on counter-espionage and subversion with intent to benefit a foreign power (Russia) and injure the United States. The second count, with a top penalty of three years and $2,000 fine, merely charged removal and concealment of such material and made no mention of an intended use for it.

HOUSE FINDS MISTAKE IN HOUSING BILL WASHINGTON, JUNE 30, The House discovered today that by mistake it had passed a housing bill calling for construction of 1,050,000 public housing units. This is just what President Truman asked, but the House was under the impression it had cut the figure to 810,000 units. House Speaker Rayburn said a House-Senate conference committee will trim it to 810,000, The mistake occurred during the parliamentary backing and filling that preceded House passage of the big bill yesterday, 228 to 185.

When clerks untangled all the parliamentary red tape they found one series of steps had the effect of wiping out an earlier action cutting down the number of public housing units. The Senate passed an bill on April 15. There are minor differences between the Senate and House measures that must be worked out. Rayburn said the committee to adjust these would fix the figure at 810,000. Both Democrats and Republicans in the Senate predicted little difficulty in reaching a compromise.

There was a chance the measure might go to the White House before the end of the week. Supporting the vast program on the final House showdown were 193 Democrats, 34 Republicans and one American Labor party member. Opposing were 131 Republicans and 54 Democrats. OBITUARIES MRS. EDWARD REDDING Mrs.
