The equipment aD loan to the Depart~ent from the 3ignal Corps of the Army l!as been returned from Br.,oklyn, New York. where it was used in connection with the Martin Jwnes l10nti grand jury. In playing back certain records to be used during the trial of ~i11dred SiBk Gillars, it will be necessary to set up this equipoent so chat it can be operated in :.lr. John ii. Kelley's office, Room 2724. It is requested that a carpenter be senli to Mr. Kelley's office to deterru.ne what carpentry· viork will be required. It will be necessary to fasten certain woonen strips along the wall to accommodate the head.eta that are to be used' by the witnesses. It would be appreoiated it this request could be expedited.

Since it will be necessary to have· Mr. Frank Green, the radio enginf.ler, presellt in Mr. Kelley's office at the time the carpenter is there, it will be appreciated if you would advise Mr. Nathan H. hanke, Br. 358, when the carpenter will be available for this purpose.

VMf1 On May 19, 1950, the Court of Appeals of the District of

Columbia affirmed the conviction of the appellant in the subject ~se. No motion for rehearing was made by the appellant to the Court of Appeals. Under Rule 37(b)(2) of the Rules of Crininal' Procedure a "petition for writ of certiorari may be made wi. thin thir-bJ days after entry of the judgment in a crim:inal case or with­in such iurther time, not exceeding thirty days, as the Supreme Court or a justice thereof, fer cause shown, may fix within the thirty day period follOYTing judgment. n

FollorTing the affirmance of this case the appellant notified her attorney, James J. Laughlin" Esquire" that she..'no long~r wanted him to represent her or to take any further steps in her behalf. Mr. LaUghllil then applied to the Court o:f Appeals and was' granted permission to withdraw from the case. On June 10, 1950, the appellant personally filed an applica tien with the Supreme, Court for an extension of time within which, to apply for a writ of certiorari. - 'On June 17, 1950,.Justice Jackson entered an order ~ndirig the time for !iJ..1ng this peti:t.ion to and including J~ 17, 1950.

Dear t-".tr. Kinnearyl

Your letter dated February 4, 1966, addressed to ~sist­ant Attorney General Fred M. Vinson, Jr.. has been referred to this Division for reply.

It is noted that the debtor is employed as a teacher in st. ~1a.ry' s Assumpta School on a salary of ~67 .00 per IOOnth a school year1 that her clothing is donated, that she is closely supervised by the Mother Superior of that school, who infornul the probation officer of debtor's activities1 and that in your opinion the fine of ~lO.OOO is uncollectible.

However, before a decision as to the uncollectib111 ty of the fine is made, the procedure set forth in the United states Attorneys' Manual must be followed, and adequate financia~ data obtained, particularly aa to the debtor's future financial pros­pects.

It is requested, therefore, that the debtor execute a personal. financial statement on Form D.1-35 and produce such further data, including copies of tax returns, if any, a8 may be helpful in reaching a decision in this matter.

Beech­'WOld Branch. Columbus, Ohio, in the sum of $1.170.93 as of June 10, 1966. Therefore. you are requested to take such measures as are necessary to obtain payment of that swn from the debtor to be applied to the fine Olrled to the Government.
