UA Scholarship Forms Distributed HARTFORD Andrew Pradella (L) and Albert SclbeUl, both of Springfield, Mau arrive at the Federal Building in Hartford to testify before a Federal Grand Jury called to investigate IwforiaVfirM in Flu AH underworld influence in Connecticut. Pradella Voluntarily Appears Before Jury By JAMES V. HKALION HARTFORD, Conn. (UPI Andrew Pradella says he is a good citizen and when his government calls, he responds. In World War II, he went in the service and Wednesday he was to go before a federal grand jury.

Unlike Anthony C. (Turks) Scibelli and his brother Albert (Baba) Scibelli who the government says are his associates and who were subpoenaed, Pradella appeared voluntarily, exuding the aura of an elder statesman. The grand jury has been investigating cases of interstate gambling. Four witnesses were given immunity in a Bridgeport area case by U.S. District Judge T.

Emmet Clarie who advised them the immunity was exclusive of perjury. While Pradella, resplendent in a gray double-breasted pinstripe suit, said he appeared voluntarily, he said he felt harassed because he did not have any knowledge of anything illegal. The only thing he knew was what he read in the morning newspaper in his hometown, 20 miles A government source said a subpoena had been issued for Pradella but he was not readily available or unable to be served. Pradella said in a federal court corridor that he departed from the service maxim "never volunteer" because he had nothing to hide, and this was said when a national magazine linked him to basketball star Bob Cousy a few years ago.

The life insurance policy is to dissolve the I customer's credit upon his death. The legal papers filed by (he Morrises in regard to the contracts they signed charge that these transactions violated state lending taws for the following reasons: The retail installment contracts did not give the proper disclosures.

The credit coupons, used instead of cash to purchase goods, begin collecting interest when the contract is signed and not when the actual purchases are made. The interest rates are too high. And Grant's does not have a license to arrange credit transactions from the State Banking Department. The suit charges the Grant credit contracts are "a device or a disguise to evade the usury laws of the state," and that the department store's credit plan is a "deceptive practice." Mr. and Mrs.

Morris maintain that they were charged up to 19.90 per cent annual interest when a maximum of 12 per cent in interest charges per year has been set by state statute. The couple is asking a federal judge to order that all the money collected by Grant's be returned to them. They are suing for $12,000 in damages. In addition they are asking Grant's be punished not less than $100 and not more than $1,000 for each of the credit transactions. The suit asks that court costs and attorney's fees incurred by the Morrises be paid by the department store.
