The Legionnaires gathered in Madison Square Garden to hear addresses by the secretaries of Ar my, Navy, and Air Force, but in terest centered on election of of ficers late today in an anticipated major floor fight. The roll call of states was sche duled to begin at 1:30 p. m. EST.

They have campaigned vigorously during the four days of- the con vention, and both during the last year have made cross-country cam paigns.

Judge George H. Moore said the 'late Drake Watson, U. S. attorney at St. Louis, confessed this to him last October a few months before Watson died. , The St. Louis judge made his j charges in a deposition put in the .record by a house subcommittee investigating the Justice Depart ment. It had heard testimony that department officials, among them Ellis N. Slack, tried to thwart the tax inquiry by improperly inful ■ encing members of the federal grand jury. ADMITS WHITEWASH Slack, acting assistant attorney general, appeared before the sub committee to deny any tampering with the grand jury. He concede* that he described as “excellent” an early partial report by the grand jury which other witnesses called | a “whitewash.” But he said he "probably” was merely comment ing on its draftmanship. Moore said the grand jury in vestigation started March 1, 1951, at his insistence despite Justice Department opposition. He said J. Howard McGrath, then attorney general, ignored his personal warn ing that there was “pressing” need for the inquiry. TRIED TO CLOSE IT Three weeks after the investiga tion started. Moore said, Slade r iried to “close it prematurely by /investigating the whitewash” re port in which the gamd jury of tax cases. Moore spid Watson told him the report was prepared at Slack’s re quest. that a draft of it was sub mitted to Slack before being pre sented to the grand jury, and that Slack said it was “just what he wanted.” H I - - • ♦MARKETS* EGGS AND POULTRY RALEIGH (IP) Central North Carolina live poultry: Fryers or broilers steady, supplies adequate to short, demand fair to good; heavy hens steady, supplies gen erally short of fair demand.
