Trial
WASHI NGTON. </P> — Two
House Republicans apparently
are working up t<r formal de
mands for an investigation of
Judge Samuel H. Kaufman’s
handling of the Alger Hiss perjury
trial.
Reps. Velde (R.-Ill.* and Nixon
(R.-Calif.* are getting ready to
back up complaints against Kauf
man—they say he favored the
Hiss defense—with speeches on
the House floor. And the two,
partners on the House un-Ameri
can activities committee, may go
farther.
Nixon definitely wants an in
vestigation and aides say he will
fight to get it.
Democrats have shown • few
signs of letting the two young
members of the House un-Ameri
can activities committee get an in
vestigation started. And they
would have to have some Demo
cratic help.
Kaufman is a Democrat ap
pointed by President Truman. He
is a federal district judge in the
Southern New York District. The
Hiss case was his first big one.
Hiss, once a high official in the
state department, was tried on
charges he lied in saying he did

SAND PAYS ALL
OF TOWN'S BILLS
SEDGEFORD, England, (A*) —
This Norfolk village runs on sand.
The 700 or so villagers haven’t
paid a penny in local taxes in 15
years.
The tax rate is fixed at eight
pence on a pound’s worth of real
estate—roughly $3.50 a hundred.
But it hasn’t been collected.
Sedgeford has paid all its ex
penses and made enough extra to
refurbish the war memorial and
start a new athletic field by sell
ing natural resources—sand from
a village-owned sandpit.

Chambers secret documents.
A new trial is necessary because
the jury couldn’t agree on a ver

vict Hiss. Four wanted to acquit
him. All of them quit trying for an
agreement Friday night.
