LOVE - - - Adman Extraordinary Colonial Ad Chiefl Pays Visit To Dunn Alger Kiss (kesirM^tg JfijsW' March 22 (JPf Alger Hiss, former State Depart ment official and adviser to Presi dent Franklin D. Roosevelt, began serving his five-year jail sentence today for lying when he denied having given government secrets to communist spy courier Whittaker Chambers. Thus ended the famous case of the “Pumpkin Papers" and “who is lying: Hiss or Chambers?” The handsome convicted per jurer, still protesting his innocence, surrendered to U. S. Marshall Will iam Carroll and was taken to the Federal House of Detention. HAB FAREWELL PARTY The 46-year-old Hiss spent, his final night of freedom at a gloomy farewell party in a friend’s Man hattan apartment. One of the guests there said the conversation avoided mention of Hiss’ two per jury trials and the U. S. Supreme Court refusal last week to review his conviction. “Most of us feel we have ex hausted all talk along that line,” the friend said. “We Just talked about simple things.” With time off for good behavior, Hiss could be freed on parole in one year and eight months—one third of his term. Even then, lie will be stripped of his civil rights —including the right to vote—be cause of his criminal conviction. Hiss’ rise to eminence was mat ched in speed only by his down fall. It began on a muggy day in Washington, Aug. 3, 1948, when Chambers, then a $30,000-a-year Time Magazine editor, said just four words about him before the House Committee on UnAmerican Activities. Chambers named three members of a communist underground-ring that 3tole secrets for Russia. Al most as an afterthought, he add ed “as was Alger Hiss-” The Amt trial began May 31, 1948 and ended July 8 in a hung jury 8-4 for' conviction. In the second trial starting Nov.

Judge W- H. S. com pleted his charge to the jury today about noontime, instructing the Jurors that they could turn In one of three verdicts, murder in the second degree, manslaughter, or not guilty. Trial of the case began yester day and evidence was completed during the afternoon. Attorneys rteill Salmon, Duncan Wilson and W. A. Johnson argued the case for the defendant. Court was scheduled to adjourn later today, but District Solicitor Jack Hooks said he would try the case of Troy Felton Ivey, charged with fornication and adultry and other offenses, before adjournment.

He demand- Plant Mete COTTON - • > For Your Country’s Defense, Per Your Own Profit, Security. , ?>;• * ed that a verdict of guilty be re turned In order tor Justice to be rendered in the case. A half dozen or more witnesses testified for the State and evidence was that Hallman went to the home of Hattie Hooks, near Mamers, allegedly a bootleg estab lishment, and that Hallman shot McLean after a row between the two. In his questioning and in his argument, Solicitor Hooks con tended that Hallman and the others went to the house to buy whiskey. One witness, Claude Cummings, admitted he had gone there two months before the crime to buy whiskey, but said he got none. DEFENDANT TESTFIES Hallman, a heavy-set man about 5 feet, eight inches tall with dark busby hair, took the stand in his own defense yesterday afternoon.
