A. FL. PRAISES HULL
REFUGEE AID PLAN
Opposes Enlarginf Of Quota for
Immigrants, However, as
Unfair to JObless.

The American Federation of Labor
yesterday termed Secretary Hull's
plan to facilitate the emigration of
political refugees from Austria and
Germany "a fine, humanitarian move
In letter sent by William Green,
president of the federation, to Maurice
Bisgyer. international secretary of the
B'nai Birth, the federation Endorsed
Secretary Hull's proposal, but indi-
Gated the United States should not
enlarge its immigration quota because
''it would be unfair to millions of our
own citizens who cannot find work
and earn living now"
Declaring that outside of this limi-
tation, the A. F. of L. is heartily in
favor of Secretary Hulls PLAN" the
letter stated:
In our opinion, it is only fitting
that the United States should take
the lead in an international movement
to offer refuge to the prosecuted
minorities in the Reich. From its
earliest days, this country provided a
haven for those who were forced to
flee their native homes because of
religious or political oppression
Mr.. Bisgyer, in acknowledging Mr..
Green's letter, said the B'nai Birth
already has gone on record stating it
would assist Mr.. Hull.

LAUGHLIN JURORS
GET ALLEN CHARGE
Justice O'Donoghue Instructs
Body Unable to Reach
Verdict in Case,

District Court Justice Daniel w
O'Donoghue today gave the Allen
charge to a jury considering charges
OF forgery, uttering and larceny after
trust against James w. Laughlin,
Washington attorney.
Justice ODonoghue called the jury
before him at 11:3O am. today. 20
hours after the case had been SUBJ
mitted to them. When the foreman
reported they had been unable to
agree. the judge told the jurors that
under the Supreme Court decision in
the Allen case, a minority of Jurors
should give the most careful consid-
Grafton to the opinions of the ma jor-
ity If unable to reach an agreement.
The charges against the attorney
grew out of complaints made by
clients.
The ALLEN charge is given in cases
where juries have been unable to de-
eide on the guilt or innocence of an
accused person after lengthy delibera-
tions. The term takes it's name from
a case that was carried to the Supreme
Court, where the fairness of the
charge was upheld and its purpose is
TO guard against the possibility that
juror may reach verdict based on
some personal prejudice rather than
on the evidence presented during the
trial.

AGREEMENT ENDS
ROW HOUSE SUIT
Case Involving New Homes
on Grove Street in
Alexandria Settled.

A suit against the c,ty OF Alex
andria. Va, and its officials by r. L.
Kane, realtor, and others, to secure
public service connection permits to
nine new row houses on Grove street
has been settled out of court, Acting
City Manager Carl L. Budwesky an
nounced today.
Grove street. a short thoroughfare
running behind the 1900 block Of
King street, was the scene of con-
struction by the builders last year
After building permits were received
and construction started the city
warned builders to cease construction
and refused to issue the public service
permits necessary to connect houses
with light, water. sewer and gas sys-
TENS. The city took its action follow
ing complaints Of adjacent citizens
that the project was undesirable.
In the suit against the city Mr.
Kane and associates held they were
entitled to receive the permits after
completing the houses since the build
Ing inspector, the citys agent, had
issued permits for their construction.
Under the terms of the agreement,
the acting city manager stated, the
realtors agree to install sidewalks and
cutters, to improve the street and
make 1t 40 feet wide, to employ part
of its land for an alley 9 feet 3 inches
wide, to which the city will endeavor
to add additional land for a l2-foot
alley and to permit occupancy of the
houses only by members OF the Cau-
casian race.
Public service connections will be
made Immediately, Mr.. Budwesky
stated.
