Trial of Jesse Rudy and Albert M. Cooper of Boston charged by the OPA with price control regulation violation in the sale of 5 000 gallons of whiskey to the John Beverage Company at Talulah in December 1945 is set for Monday in federal district court here before Judge Benn Dawkins and a jury. The case similar to that of Irwin Ike Kott Harry Weiner and Israel Needleman of New York and N Tully Semel of Amsden Conn has attracted far less attention here because the Boston men unlike the others have made no attempt to delay their trial and did not challenge the jurisdiction of this court. Rudy and Cooper are represented by Attorneys Lee M. Friedman of Boston and Wood H. Thompson and James D. Sparks of Monroe.
