Attorney Vows Appeal In Solon's Conviction
Washington—(U.P.)-Rep. Ernest K. Bramblett's attorney today vowed a fight—to the Supreme Court if necessary—to overturn the California Republican's conviction on payroll padding charges.
A federal district court found the 52-year-old, "unobtrusive" Congressman guilty late yesterday on seven counts of lying to the House disbursing office about his payroll. The jury heard testimony that Rep. Bramblett took money from a woman "cleerk" who did no work.
Rep. Bramblett, who listened to the verdict with no outward show of emotion could be sentenced a maximum of 35 years and fined up to $70,000. The sentencing will be delayed for a week or two.
Defense Attorney Edward B. Williams planned a vigorous legal battle to reverse the conviction. He served notice to Federal Judge Walter Bastian that he will file a formal motion asking that the verdict be set aside. Williams said he will also file a notice of appeal and would take the case to the highest court in the land, if necessary.
The conviction left Rep. Bramblett's political future in the balance. A fourth-term Congressman from California's 13th district, Rep. Bramblett said before the trial he had not made up his mind whether to seek reelection this November. But he cast his vote for another man at a recent meeting of the district's Republicans to endorse a candidate for his seat.
He was the fifth Congressman to be convicted of a federal crime since World War II and the third on payroll padding charges.
Rep. Bramblett, the father of three sons, was freed - on $2,500 bond. Court officials said a probation report on the Congressman will be filed automatically.
The seven counts all involved Mrs. Margaret Swanson, an attractive, 39 year-old blonde, who testified she

was on Rep. Bramblett's payroll from September 1949 through December 1950.
Mrs. Swanson testified that she did no work, and her husband turned her salary of about $460 to $490 a month over to Rep. Bramblett. Her husband, Irving, a former clerk for House Republicans, said he and the Congressman worked out the plan.
The money was to go to Rep. Bramblett's wife, Lois, Mr. Swanson said, who was to continue working for the Congressman without appearing on his payroll. Mr. Swanson said he was amazed to learn later that Mrs. Bramblett went back on the payroll in January 1950.
Mrs. Hardaway had testified she signed and returned to Rep. Bramblett five checks he presented to her "face down."

Mary Sinclair Happily Returns to Television
New York (U.P.)-Mary Sinclair, the brunette that blond gentlemen prefer, is back on her home grounds-television—and glad of it.
She's had her fill of one of those fabulous seven-year movie contracts.
The young woman who was a top dramatic actress of television—created by the medium a couple of years ago—is taking things rather easy for the present with a recurring role in an afternoon TV "soap opera," and some people seem to regard this as an indication that her career has run out of steam.
"Actually, this is exactly the sort of thing I need at present," the pretty actress explained. "My mother was ill for a long time, I was ill for six months, and the movie deal threw me completely off my stride.
"Now I'm doing just what I want to do at this stage. I have enough work to keep me from going stale, and it is so spaced that I have plenty of time to study."
So as far as she *Miss Sinclair* is concerned, her career is just getting its second wind. She studies ballet, voice, piano, acting and jazz dancing, all with an eye to the future, which, she hopes, includes the stage. She wants to be able to do anything.
There was a time, back when
Worthington Minor was the director of CBS-TV's famed "Studio One" dramatic program, that Mary seemed almost to be "Studio One." She played dramatic leads expertly in show after show, and was regarded as one of TV's few genuine contributions to acting.
At the height of that career,
Paramount pictures signed her to a long-term which permitted her to hold onto a three-year contract she had signed with CBS, the first such player contract in television.
"I turned down the first picture Paramount wanted me to do," she said, "because it wasn't right for me. I was suspended, naturally. I went to Europe for a few months, and when I got back the picture people promised me big things in a western called "Arrowhead."
"It was a terrible experience I've never seen the film and I never want to. I felt it wasn't right that a company could make a person do things that would not help his career. The option on my contract had been taken up, but I asked that I be released. It was fortunate for me that this didn't happen severa
years ago. My request was made a time when the studios were only too glad to wash up their long contracts with players.
"After that I also bowed out of my CBS contract, which still had a little over a year to go, because the original idea of putting a solid nucleus of important players under contract hadn't worked out as the network had hoped.
Anne Baxter Divorces Actor John Hodiak
"All that sound like I've been living a 'soap opera' myself, doesn't it? But I'm really quite happy to be back now, working just enough for the time being on the 'Woman with a Past' serial for CBS."
Hollywood — (U.P.)— Actress Anne Baxter has received a final decree of divorce from her film star husband, John Hodiak, on charges he fell asleep in front of guasts and insulted her.
Miss Baxter, who was granted an interlocutory decree Jan. 27, received the final divorce yesterday in Superior court.
The couple was married in 1946 and had no children.
