American atomic

Identified as
Dr. Joseph

at the Berkley

lawyers claim the government used illegal ~ethoda

get evidence - like wire-tapping.
And -- today
produced the talkative taxi driver.
Francis Malloy
was a
member of a grand
lury
that inve1tigated Scientist l. After which he went back
to his taxicab.
Months later, he picked up a fare --
James
r.
Mcinerney, head of the Criminal Division of
the Department of Justice. The taxi driver started a
conversation about atomic spy business, and Mc!nerney
told
him
that the government had evidence against
Weinberg that could not be presented in court.

About
a

Malloy,
by
chance, picked
up Joseph Sanelli,
an
attorney for the defense. So the
talkative taxi driver got into
conversation
with
him,
and told
him what Mcinerney had
sai
d
-
about evidence
the government could not present in court.
The next
thing you know, Malloy was called as a witneas for
.
the defense.
Today,
he
testified he couldn't remember
exactly what the Department
of
Justice official told
him
in the taxicab converaat1on.

Months

climber and a Sherpa - a
Himalayan
mountaineer, made a
previous
attempt, and were less than ight hundred feet from
the top -- when they were driven back. So now, here's the
heartbreaker. This time, they - the same two climbers I belive -
were a mere hundred
and
fifty feet from the goal.
(only
to be
driven back by
the
hurricane

of the
world's
highest
mountain.
A

Here's a dispatch that eeems to say -
if
you want to
be safe and unmolested in Paris, just
kidnap a woman
on a public street. The more she
,creams,
the safer you
are.
This is
brought out
by
a Paris newspaper,
investi
g
ating crime along the
Bouleva
r
ds.
Five times
in one night, the newspaper experimenter
s
put on a
show
of
abducting a
woman, who yelled
her
head
off.
In not one instance did the police ap!)ear- not
a
/
e1ngle~endarme. Paaaeraby,
who saw the
~1dnapp1nga,
took no 1nteTest.
Witnesses
replied - 1t was
none of
their
business, and they didn'\ want to g
e
t mixed up ln
any
trouble.
So no
wo
nd
er
the
Parisian paper
says - the
--~-
sareat thing to do, tn Paris, is to kidnap a screaming
~
woman.
