The face of Aubrey Grossman, organiaztional secretary of the Congress, was battered and bloody. He went to a hospital for -rays and then caught a plane, presumably for New York.

Police escorted him to the airport to see him safely off. The attack on Grossman was only one of several "incidents" reported in connection with the visit of eight members of the Civil Rights Congress, whch is listed as "subversive" by the Justce Department. Tension began mounting when a rumor got out that the zation was coming here in force to appear before Gov. Fielding Wright in behalf of Willie McGee, convicted Negro rapist who had been scheduled die in the electric chair today. Execution Postponed Wright granted the group a clemency hearing but took no action on their plea.

However, McGee's execution was postponed yesterday by U. S. Supreme Court Justice Harold H. Burton, pending a new trial. lore was execution reported caused that a the "bit stay of feeling" in Laurel, where McGee was awaiting death in portable electric chair, and the Negro was transferred to the Hinds County jail for safekeeping.

He had been convicted of assaulting a white woman in Laurel. Will Hayett of New York, identified as a public relations representative of the Civil Rights Congress, said Grossman's assailants gained ento his hotel room by knocking on his door and yelling Hayett, who was in an adjacent room, said he heard sounds of a scuffle and called police. "They went in and cornered him in the bathroom and did little whipping," Police Chief Joel Holden said. He said Grossman's of the men was vague. No arrests have been made.

Cop's Racket Trial Enters Final Stage Continued From Page: 1 dict of not guilty is denied, he will rest his case today and, court experts said, summations for both sides may even be completed today. Barshay scored yesterday when Judge Sobed ruled that Gustav Wagner, Queens bowling alley operator with whom Reilly is alleged to have negotiated phony loans, is an accomplice in the attempted subornation of perjury count. Reilly is accused of trying to hide the source of some $6,000 of otherwise unexplained income. The ruling followed a long argument by Barshay to the effect that Wagner was legally involved in a meeting early in the morning of April 28 at which he and Reilly are said to have rehearsed his testimony before the grand jury later that same day. The idea was that Wagner's testimony would jibe with that previously given by Reilly.

Barshay contended that Wagner was an accomplice because he knew of the false testimony, and made it, even though he later came back to the jury and recanted everything he had said. Thus, Barshay said, the of evidence boils down against to the another, oath one man with no corroborating evidence. The judge agreed, the State with the task, some time today, of furnishing addiItional evidence to substantiate the charge of subornation or of having it dismissed.

DETECTIVE SHOT IN DUEL WITH 2 THUGS IN SUBWAY A Brooklyn detective who staged a gun duel with two bandits in a downtown Manhattan subway station was in al hospital today with two bullet wounds in his right thigh and police alerted all hospitals in the metropolitan area in their search the thugs, one of whom believed wounded for, by the detective. Two bystanders were also hit in the shooting fray but their wounds turned out to be superficial. One of them didn't realize he'd been creased until a half-hour later.

Detective Dominick Donato, 44, of 1460 71st was off duty and shopping along busy Ann St. when he heard shouts of "Robbers! Holdup!" and saw, two. men dashing for a subway entrance. Nine Shots Exchanged Donato, holder of seven Police Department citations, gave chase. Down a flight of stairs, the bandits turned at bay and one fired three shots, two of which hit the detective.

Donato emptied six shots from his gun Boro-L. I. Building Halted by Strike Continued From Page 1 up on Willoughby and Jay Sts. has been hit hard by lack of sand and cement for concrete floors and erection of partitions, practically all work having come to a halt, the Board of Transportation said. A Board of Education spokesman said practically every school construction or reconstruction job in the city--more than 100 separate projects -has been affected, with some at a complete standstill and others limping along.

School Jobs Delayed Rehabilitation jobs, the spokesman said, have been hit hardest by the steamfitters' walkout, and if their strike isn't settled shortly many jobs scheduled for completion by the beginning of the new school year in September will be unfinished. In such cases, he said, temporary hookups of water and steam lines will be made so schools can be used. Private home construction, especially where foundations have not yet been poured or where extensive brick work and plastering is involved, also is languishing in the borough and on Long Island. No accurate estimate of the number of craftsmen made idle by the walkouts was available, but various sources indicated the total ran well over 50,000 in the metropolitan area by last night and Howard McSpedon, president of the A. F.

L. Building Construction Trades Council, said more than 150.000 would be out of work in a day or two. Major apartment projects, which require a great deal of concrete and brickwork, have been almost entirely shut down either by lack of materials or while awaiting steamfitters' installations. Boosting Cost of Homes Milton Steinberg, Brooklyn's largest builder of one and twofamily homes and developer of Dodgertown In East Flatbush. said the strikes as well as general increased material costs are pressing many builders to the point of increasing prices on new homes.

Some builders, he noted, already have boosted prices and, he said, if conditions continue the present trend, with new Government allocations of materials taking effect, many more will have to follow suit. The strikes, he said, will only serve to hasten the price boosts. Detective Ends Life With Bullet Continued From Page 1 ground with a bullet wound in the head, Blair said. An ambulance dotcor pronounced him dead. The McKee children are James, Gerald, 6, and Mary Ellen, The detective had been on the force 14 years.

Before being assigned to the Snyder Ave. precinct early in 1949, he had worked out of the Gates Ave. station. in return. One, it was believed, hit one of the robbers.

Donato, unable to move, watched helplessly as the pair escaped. Just before the shooting, the bandits held George Moskowitz, a salesman, of 1314 Commonwealth the Bronx, forcing him into an Ann St. doorway at gunpoint and taking his wallet with $236. Moscowitz dashed after them along Ann St. and into Nassau where Donato joined the chase which ended in a subway passageway the bandits reached via stairs at 165 Fulton St.

The wounded bystanders were Rene Maurice, 66, of 73-37 Austin Forest Hills, whose left thingh was grazed, and Benjamin Rosenberg, 28, of 1665 Townsend the Bronx, hit on the right hip. Rosenberg didn't realize he'd been hit until some time later. He went to St. Clare's Hospital for treatment. Police questioned Rosenberg closely, on the possibility he might be suspect, but lonerated him.
