Three Capone Aides Agree to Appear in Senate Crime Probe •y th« Associated Press CHICAGO, Sept. 8.—Three for mer Capone associates have aban doned their defiance of the Senate Crime Investigating Committee and will go to Washington to confer with Senator Kefauver, Democrat, of Tennessee, commit tee chairman. Their attorney, Eugene Bern stein said Paul (the Waiter) Ricca, Louis Little (New York) Cam pagna and Charles (Cherry Nose) Gioe would leave today. Mr. Bernstein said Ricca, Cam pagna and Gioe will take with them records and materials asked by the committee chairman. Previously, attorneys for the gangsters called subpoenas served on them worthless because Sen ator Kefauver’s signature was rubber-stamped on them and the committee was not in session. Also, they contended that as parolees from a Federal peniten tiary, the former aides of Gang ster A1 Capone couldn’t leave Chicago. Props were knocked from under the latter argument yesterday when Federal Parole Officer Ben Meeker announced his superiors had authorized Ricca, Campagna and Gioe to go to Washington if summoned. They were paroled in 1947 after serving one-third of 10-year sen tences for extortion in connection with a shakedown of the movie industry. The Government has been trying since' to revoke the paroles. No food shortages. The Presi dent has stated that neither food shortages or rationing are in prospect, despite the fighting in Korea.

OPEN THCKSDAY EVENING ’TO 9 Silver Spriifl; Store—Sccimgeour Bldg. 8618 Georgia Avenue OPEN FBIDAY EVENING 'TO 9 McCarran Fears Veto on Anti-Red Bill May Aid G. 0. P. at Polls By the Associated Press Senator McCarran. Democrat of Nevada, said today President Tru man’s avowed refusal to sign his stringent anti-Communist bill, if Congress passes it, might lead to a Republican victory next Novem ber. The Nevada Democrat said Mr. Truman's statement that he would not sign the McCarran bill if it was sent to the White House was “the most colossal mistake I have ever heard of being made by the President.” “I should be very unhappy to know that the President would veto this bill, and not the least of my unhappiness would be the fact that the people of the country want the bill enacted into law,” Senator McCarran told newsmen. Could Mean GOP Congress. “This desire of the people in that respect might be very em phatically expressed in Novem ber.” The 74-year-old lawmaker, just renominated for a fourth Senate term, was asked if a veto might mean a Republican Congress next January. “It could be,” he replied. The Senate, meanwhile, agreed to start voting on the anti-Com munist legislation, beginning at 1 p.m. Tuesday. Mr. Truman told his news con ference yesterday the McCarran 'bill was .a little worse than the Republican Mundt-Nixon Com munist registration bill which passed the House last week un der a Democratic label. He said he wouldn’t sign it if it was sent to the White House. The bill, which Senator McCar ran put together from five sep arate Senate and House bills, would: Require the registration of Communist political and front or ganizations: bar Communists from Federal jobs and getting pass ports: put more teeth in laws dealing with sabotage and espio nage, and pave the way for bar ring or deporting aliens consid ered to be subversive. Features of Bill Assailed. Mr. Truman had asked Con gress only for more powers to deal with espionage agents and sabo teurs. He has assailed other fea tures of the McCarran bill as un necessary, ineffective and likely to jeopardize* the rights of indi vidual citizens. The President’s statement, com ing at a time when lawmakers are pressing to get their work done and go home by September 16, may have an important bearing on the kind of congressional va-* cation to be taken. If Congress adjourns, Mr. Tru man could scuttle the bill by fail ing to sign it within 10 days after passage. This would be a pocket veto. But if Congress decided to go on a three-day recess basis, then the President would either have to sign or tell Congress he was vetoing it and why. Otherwise the bill would automatically be come a law within 10 days after passage. Senate Republican Leader Wherry said if a pocket veto was threatened, then “it would be hoove those who support this bill to keep the Senate in session and try to pass it over his veto.” Sen ator Wherry is backing the bill. Senate Majority Leader Lucas, on the other hand, suggested that the Senate should pass a bill that the President could sign. Meanwhile, backers of a substi tute which would permit the At torney General to put Communists in concentration camps in time of war or declared national emer gncies, felt they are picking up strength. They still concede pri vately they haven’t got the votes, but are hoping that as the debate goes on public opinion may swing to them. Senator Kilgore, Democrat, of West Virginia the principal back er, yesterday blocked an attempt to vote tomorrow which gives his forces a week end to continue the fight. Syrian Rebels Released DAMASCUS, Syria, Sept. 8 (IP). —Gen. Sami Henna wi. former commander in chief who led a military coup in Syria last year, was released from prison today under a newly-passed amnesty of political prisoners.

War Bride Wins Divorce; He Wanted Her an Alien ly th* Associated Press LOS ANGELES, Sept. 8.—Her husband didn’t want her to be come an American citizen, be cause ‘he figured if I was an alien he’d have the upper hand.” So said Mrs. Elizabeth Benfatti, an Australian war bride of 1945 as she obtained a divorce yester day.
