BROOKLYN EAGLE, JUNE 26, 1953 9 SEN. WILLIS SMITH, 65, DIES, N. CAROLINA DEMOCRAT Washington June 26 (U.P.) Senator Willis Smith, 65-yearold North Carolina Democrat, died early today after fighting vainly to overcome the effects of a heart attack. He was pronounced dead at Bethesda Naval Hospital while his wife and four children stood at his bedside. The cause was listed as coronary thrombosis.

Smith, who ran for the Senate an afterthought and won in 1950, suffered a heart attack Tuesday and was taken to the naval hospital in "grave" condition. Physicians said yesterday his "pulse and blood pressure" had improved and that he was "manifesting miraculous strength," but he never rallied. Smith sought the Democratic nomination in North Carolina's first 1950 primary against three opponents, Senator Frank Graham, former Senator Robert Reynolds and Olla Ray Boyd, a perennial candidate. Smith ran a poor second against Graham, but under the law a runoff primary for the nomination was necessary if Smith, in second place, chose to demand it. Apparently he considered his chances poor against the popuGraham, but at the last moment, Smith asked for a second chance.

Smith won the runoff easily on June 25. During his Senate service Smith voted usually with the conservative Southern Democrats. He was a member of the Judiciary Committee and of the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee. COP SET FREE IN FATAL TRAFFIC ROW SHOOTING Queens police said today they would file no charges against a Nassau probationary patrolman whose gun killed a Great Neck butler last night while they tussled in a traffic argument on Belt Parkway in Laurelton.

In-and-Out Driving Cullen said Wermelinger told him he saw a station wagon driven by North Weavin and out of traffic on Belt Parkway near the intersection with Southern State Parkway and ordered it to the curb.

Wermelinger said he got out of his own car, flashed his badge and asked North: "Are you trying to kill somebody?" "Yes, I'm going to kill you," North allegedly answered as he reached for a bottle on the floor of his car.

Profaci, olive oil distributor of 8863 15th went into Brooklyn Federal Court today and asked that his business properties, seized by the Government for alleged nonpayment of $2,081,562 in income taxes, be continued with himself as manager. Federal Judge Matthew T. Abruzzo heard the plea by Profaci and then postponed his decision to July 18. The receiver for the proper- ties, Jacob S. Sieman, of 80 Broad Manhattan, through his attorney, Harold J.

Sherman, opposed Profaci's motion. Sherman stated that Sieman was a long way from knowing exactly what the assets of Profaci's three companies were, and that Profaci had been "unco-operative" in dealings with the receiver. Operations of the firms had been suspended as a result of Government action. MPs Ask Probe in Hanging Of Sex-Strangler's Neighbor London, June 26. (U.P)-Members of Parliament today demanded that the Government determine whether John R.

Christie, instead of his neighbor, should have the gallows three because ago.o They asked for a full-scale investigation whether there was a miscarriage of justice when Timothy J. Evans was hanged, partly on Christie's testimony, on the charge of killing his infant daughter in 1949. Christie, 55, the "Notting Hill Strangler," was the chief witness against Evans. Doubt about Evans' guilt 1s expected to lead to a vigorous demand in the House of mons that the death penalty be abolished. Christie, sentenced to hang, sat in Pentonville Prison today in the same death row where his upstairs neighbor in the Notting Hill murder house had awaited his sentence.

The sex murderer has ten days in which to appeal his death sentence. Walter B.
