Kefauver Committee Hears Plot To Avenge Gambler’s Wife’s Death LOS ANGELES (P)—The Kefauver Senate Crime committee today had in the record a wire recording of a sinister underworld plot to avenge the dynamite death of Mrs. Herbert Noble, wife of the widely-known—and often shot at—Dallas, Tex., gambler. The dynamic testimony came last night from Dallas Police Lt. George Butter—last witness of the Senate crime probers’ two day stand here. Hearings start Friday at San Francisco where lobbies Artie Samish, reputed secret boss of the California legislature will be the star witness. Butler said the wire tapping was made March 9, 1950, at a Dallas motor court. He said police had word that Harold Shimley was in town to effect a peace between Noble and Benny Binion, ex-boss of Dallas’ million dollar-a-year policy racket. He said the Flamingo Hotel crowd of Las Vegas, Nev., was unhappy about the publicity that resulted from Mrs. Noble’s death Nov. 29, 1949. She had stepped into her husband’s car—an unusual practice—and was literally blown to death when she pressed the starter. The car had been dynamite-rigged for Noble. Butler said the Flamingo crowd is the “Western headquarters” for the Frank Costello gang of New York. crowd of Las Vegas, Nev., was unhappy about the publicity that resulted from Mrs. Noble's death Nov. 29, 1949. She had stepped into her husband's car—an unusual practice—and was literally blown to death when she pressed the starter. The car had been dynamite-rigged for Noble. Butler said the Flamingo crowd is the "Western headquarters" for the Frank Costello gang of New York. "Those Eastern mobs are itching to get in south Texas," the handsome peace officer drawled, "whitereven the poor oil millionaires will drop $100,000 a night, shooting crap." "The poor millionaires," he explained, "are those who have $5,000,000 or less." The transcrip pinned the death of Mrs. Noble on a convict now serving a life sentence and three convict pals. It added that "the boys" had connections to avenge the death even behind penitentiary walls. Noble has been shot at nine times in the last five years and is still living—earning him the tags "The Cat" and "The Clay Pigeon."

Wilson will remain as defense mobilization director despite labor's walkout from the program. Mr. Truman told a news conference he has full confidence in Wilson. Although labor's refusal to have any further part in the present setup threatened to imperil the whole defense program, Mr. Truman indicated he felt no sense of crisis. He told reporters he saw nothing in the current situation to prevent his flying to Key West, Fla., tomorrow for a vacation. He plans to stay about three weeks. The top men of labor decided last night to boycott the program in what amounted to a "no confidence" vote in the way it is being run. The United Labor Policy committee—made up of representatives from the big labor union organizations — protested what it termed "legalized robbery" in price control, "unjust" wage cellings and "big business domination" of the defense drive. Their break from the mobilization agencies, as they are now constituted carried with it the only labor leaders, one asked. Mr. Truman said he couldn't comment on that. "Do you regard it as a very serious situation?" No, the president said, I do not. Mr. Truman was asked how long he might "sit" on the problem. He said he never did sit on any problem. He said he did not consider the walkout a strike, saying in response to a question, oh, no, it just a disagreement. He said Eric Johnston, Economist Stabilization administrator, made a sincere effort to work out modification of the wage set up.

He said he will not change his plans to go to Key West, Fla., tomorrow for a three weeks stay and might have something to say on the controversy in a week or two. "Do you expect labor to return to the defense setup?" he was asked, and-replied he would tell about that in a couple of weeks. He said it was not necessary for him to comment on labor's charge that the mobilization program was a "big business" affair. The president opened the conference by expressing gratification over the settlement early today of the wage dispute between the railroads and non-operating unions. He congratulated both sides. The president refused to comment on the current Senate investigation of crime, the Reconstruction Finance Corporation's leading operations, and last year's Senatorial election in Maryland.

Human Presenting Gavel to Barkley for Service, Days He'd Like to Come Back to Senate Permanently WASHINGTON (AP)—President Truman said today, in presenting a gavel to Vice President Barkley, he wishes he were "returning permanently" to the Senate. The president paid a surprise visit to the Senate to give Barkley a gavel made of 1317 pine House wood in commemoration of Barkley's completing 38 years of service in Congress next Sunday. Introducing the president, Barkley said it was a trite saying that "criminals return to the scene of their crimes sooner or later." Rotarians Hear Of China Plight Volunt against the Russo-Chinese communists is beginning to out in several spots in and may be one hope for future of China, according to Gilbert Nee who spoke before Rotary club recently.

He said the red Chinese arms sent to Korea did not Responding, Mr. Truman said: "Mr. President, I wish it were a fact that I was returning permanently to the scene of my former crime and misdemeanors which got me into more trouble than any man in the world has ever gotten into. But I am down here for a specific purpose today." The president obviously was referring to his service as a Senator and his succession to the presidency when Franklin D. Roosevelt died. There have been reports that Mr. Truman might run for the Senate when his present term as president expires. At the end of his informal talk, Mr. Truman took the gavel out of a polished box and handed it to Barkley. Before he did so, he read to the Senate the following inscription on the gavel: "To the vice president of the United States, Alban W. Barkley, to commemorate 38 years of continuous service in the Congress of the United States, March 4." It was signed by the president. GE to Dispose Of Stricken Plant OAKLAND (AP)—General Electric says it will sell its strike closed transformer plant here. Plant Manager Paul R. Hartig said today the plant will be offered for sale. He said the Independent United Electric, Radio and Machine Workers of America—on strike here since last October—"must assume responsibility" for the closing. The 28-year-old plant employed 325 persons. The union struck in protest against a company-proposed piece work plan. A union spokesman charged the company is closing the plant in an "attempt to blackjack the employees into accepting wage cuts." The company said the plant had been losing money for some time and profitable operation would be impossible under union demands. At the end of his informal talk, Mr. Truman took the gavel out of a polished box and handed it to Barkley. Before he did so, he read to the Senate the following inscription on the gavel: "To the vice president of the United States, Alban W. Barkley, to commemorate 38 years of continuous service in the Congress of the United States, March 4." It was signed by the president. Mr. Truman said the gavel box also was made from White House wood by a carpenter employed in the current remodeling. Barkley recalled the warm friendship that had existed through the years between him and the president. He quoted the president saying no president and vice president "ever got along as well." Barkley called the presidential visit typical of the "human quality" which he said so many people admire in President Truman. "You are human," he said.
