TELLS OF OTHER CALLS In his complaint to Magistrate Reynolds, Wernick said that he had received other telephone calls in recent weeks in which the caller refused to give his name, but the assistant city solicitor said none of the other calls "was as vicious as this one." He told the magistrate that he had received treatment at Graduate Hospital on Wednesday and Thursday, after a recent illness, returning to his home at 275 S. 63d st. on Thursday night.

Wernick said he protested about the telephone call and that the caller finally said: "If you don't lay off Taylor and accent his settlement, you'll be sorry." He ended with a burst of profanity and hung up. Wernick said he discussed the threat with his associates Friday morning, then called Peter A.

Tyrreil at the Arena. Tyrrell assured him that he had not made the early morning telephone call. "I'm afraid you have the "wrong man," the Arena president explained. have no connection with Herman Taylor." Wernick said he then telephoned the Vesper Club and asked for Peter C.

He said that the steward was evasive at first, but that Tyrrell finally said: SUGGESTS MEETING "You are on the right track, Abe.

They took' more money than you think and I know where the money is." Wernick said Tyrrell suggested that they meet at "Grant's Tomb" Grant's Cabin) in Fairmount Park at 12:30 A. M. yesterday. "I'll show you where the money is hidden," Wernick quoted Tyrrell as saying. Wernick said he finally asked Tyrrell flatly if he had made the early morning telephone call.

"Yes. I did call vou from the Pen and Pencil Club (212 S. 15th Wernick quoted the steward as saying. "I though I'd give you the works, but I didn't think you'd get so scared." In his affidavit to Magistrate Reynolds, Wernick said that Tyrrell added: "I'm telling you again, if you don't lay oft Herman Taylor, your body will be, found in the river." WITKIN RELATES VERSION Witkin said Tyrrell gave him this version of the incident: "I never knew and don't know Mr. Wernick.

I was not at the Pen and Pencil Club on Thursday night. I didn't call Mr. Wernick's home at 3:30 A. M. or any other time.

"On Friday morning while I was at home I received a number of phone calls. I thought they were friends of mine, kidding me, and I kidded them in return. Mr. Wernick says in the paper that he talked to me. He certainly may have.

But I never knew it was Mr. Wernick. RIBBED IN RETURN "1 thought some of my friends were ribbing me and I ribbed them. They talked about money and I told them they could find it at Grant's Tomb. I certainly hope that Mr.

Wernick will understand. I never knew 'I was talking to him and I never called him at any time. "This is a terrible shock to me and my family. I have never threatened anyone in my life and certainly am not starting at the age of 50. It is an unfortunate comedy of errors in which I am the unwilling goat." Witkin himself added: "No man would call another at 3:30 in the morning, threaten him and then give his right name." TAYLOR RETURNING HERE Joseph Sharfsin, counsel for Taylor, said he spoke to the fight promoter at Atlantic City yesterday and ound him "at a complete and utter oss to understand this story or any aspect of it." He said Taylor would return to the city tomorrow and was "completely at the disposal of Mr.

Wernick or any of the authorities seeking to clear up this situation." Wernick said he conferred with City Solicitor Frank F. Truscott. who told him to "take any action I wanted."

We are confident that you will fulfill that obligation in the spirit of public servite that is a tradition with the physician and dentist.

There is much to be said for a tour of duty with any of the Armed Forces. You will work and train with lea dins; men of your professions. You will have access to abundant clinical material; have the best medical and dental facilities in which to practice. You will expand your whole concept of life through travel and practice in foreign lands. In many ways, a tour of service will invaluable to you in later professional life!

YoU arejurged to contact the Office of Secretary of Defense by collect wire twitn-diately, signifying your acceptance and date of availability. Your services art badly needed. Will you offer themt Your personal help is needed to avert a serious threat to our national security! By the end of July of this year we will have lost almost one-third of the physicians and dentists now serving with our Armed Forces. Without an increased in-flow of sufh personnel, the shortage will assume even more dangerous proportions by December of this year. These losses are due to normal expiration of terms of service.

The professional men who are leaving the Armed Forces during this critical poriod are doing so because they have fulfilled their duty-obligations and have earned the right to return to civilian practice. Without sufficient replacements for these losses, we cannot continue to provide adequate medical and dental care for the almost 1,700,000 service men and women who are the backbone of our nation's defense. Normal procurement channels will not provide sufficient replacements! To alleviate this critical, impending shortage of professional manpower in the three services, I am urging all physicians and dentists who were trained Value!
