Frank Costello Jury Deliberates On Contempt Charges
A federal court jury in New York returns after more than an hour of deliberation without a verdict in the contempt of the senate case against gambler Frank Costello. Jurors requested the stenographic charge, while the stake is an acquittal on 11 counts or potential prison and fines. Jurors began deliberating yesterday afternoon after the judge refused to print the charge, and defense attorney George Wolf argued Costello’s constitutional rights were violated by television coverage. U S Attorney Myles J. Lane said Costello erred by assuming he was bigger than the senate.

Push Seaway Bill Faces Senate Divide
Washington Senator Wiley and six of the 13 member Senate Foreign Relations Committee urged support for sending a St. Lawrence seaway and power bill to the Senate floor but the timing remains unclear. Chairman Connally opposes immediate action while others may overrule him. The bill would deepen the St. Lawrence for Atlantic to Great Lakes shipping and add a 2.2 million horsepower hydroelectric plant near Massena New York. Canada already acts on a seaway and Canada could proceed without U S approval, as House Public Works has not reconsidered the proposal.
