Birmingham 0PA Loses
Case Against Standard Oil
By the Associated Press.


BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Oct. o.
Federal Judge Clarence Mullins
today dismissed an Office Of Price
Administration petition for per-
manent injunction against the Bir-
mingham Office of Standard Oil Co.
of Kentucky.
Last Saturday night the jurist,
acting on an OPA plea, issued an
order temporarily restraining the
company from selling more than
2 gallons of gasoline on B and C
ration coupons.
In dismissing the petition today,
Judge Mullins held the company
had no intention of Wilfuliy violat-
ing an OPA order reducing the
value of the coupons from 3 to 2
gallons. Sales of more than 2 GAL
Ions on the coupons in some of the
company's stations were due to an
"honest misunderstanding" of the
new regulation, the judge ruled.

BiddIe Terms RuIinq
On A. P. Satisfactory
To Government
BY the Associated Press.

by tiiS hofoeiaLtu f-lSSs.
CHARLESTOWN, w. Va, Oct. 9.
Attorney General Biddle tonight
termed as satisfactory to the Gov
ernment" the decision of three
judge Federal Court in the Govern
ment's suit against the Associated
Press, although reserving the right
to another opinion" pending any
developments.
Speaking before the West Virginia
Bar Association at its annual dinner,
the Attorney General made a brief
review of the Associated Press case
as part of his address.
The court on October 6 in New
York upheld the right of the Asso-
clated Press to pass on admission of
applicants, but directed that bylaws
be changed to prevent a member in
the same field (morning. evening or
afternoon) from presenting any bar
to election in the stated field
Sought to Open Up Bylaws.
The Attorney General mentioned
that for more than a year the Gov
ernmen had sought to open up" the
bylaws of the organization. He said
action by the membership last spring
resulted in bringing about change
for a majority Of members to elect
an applicant but asserted that actu-
ally the bylaws were "tightened" by
provision calling for payment of
certain sums by an applicant to the
established member of members.
"All we wanted" Mr.. Biddle said,
was to open up the bylaws. The
decision seemed to me on the whole
satisfactory-reserving the right to
another opion after further study
and negotiation"
Mr.. Biddle said the Government
was ruled against on two points. but
added that he did not believe them
to be vital. He referred to the ruling
that purchase of Wide World Photos
from the New York Times was not
violation of the law, and the de-
cision that if bylaws were changed
as directed the exclusive news con-
tract with the Canadian Press was
not violatiye of the law. ....
japanese Relocation Problem.
In his address, Mr.. Biddle said
the delicate problem of relocation
of 100000 persons OF Japanese de-
scent is being met by the Govern
ment with success and determina-
tion that there be no invasion OF
constitutional rights.
He listed the situation of the
Japanese in the United States as
one of the most difficult so far pre-
Sented.
Mr.. Biddle's address closed the
one-day convention at which the
lawyers earlier heard Senator Brew
ster, Republican. of Maine voice a
demand for tough all-America
team to 60 overseas and protect
the Nations economic and diplo-
matte interests now and in the
future.
Great Britain and Russia are
making few diplomatic mistakes and
are forging ahead with forward
looking programs, according to Sen
ator Brewster, who was one of five
Senators who recently toured world
battlefronts. In contrast, he said,
the United States is totally lacking
in preparation to take its place on
diplomatic or economic fronts.

is the seat of Government, and I
would join with others, who believe
it would be wrong for all control
here in the National Capital. to go to
a strictly local governing body for
the very reason that the National
Capital itself expresses just what
this seat of Government is.
This is the focal point of the
Republic, and SO there is the ele-
ment always, and 1t must be so of
national Government. I do feel, and
I say this with no disparagement of
Congress, that in the long look back
by those who made this the seat of
Government, they were thinking OF
Washington then and in the future
as we now think Of Williamsburg,

Martial Law SET Up
In Louisiana Parish;
Sheriff Removed
By the Associated Press.

1v the Associated Press.
A-HACHE, La, Oct. 9
Gov. Sam Jones, invoking martha
law, dethroned his bitter politica
enemy, District Attorney Leandel
H. Perez, at the Plaquemines Parish
Courthouse here today and set up 6
temporary military rule under the
commander of the State Guard
Brig. Gen. Thomas Porter.
Mr.. Jones issued proclamation Of
martial law effective at 1901 am
and with the use of about 600 State
troopers removed DR.. Ben r. Slater
from the sheriff's Office and placed
there his own appointee, Walter j
Blaize.
The move was carried out with
such strength and precision that
armed resistance to Mr. Blaize which
had existed in the parish for -four
months was swept aside and the
guard was not forced to fire a shot.
Invoked to Halt "Insurrection."
The Governors proclamation de-
clared martial law was invoked "to
suppress insurrection and rebellion
against law and order" in Plaque
mines Parish and to install Mr.
Blaize in Office and keep him from
being interfered with while law
fully performing" his duties.
The State Guard convoy required
approximately five hours to negotiate
the 40 miles from New Orleans to
this little river town by winding
levee road.
: 1t was held up twice by obstacles,
FIRST near the home Of Mr.. Perez at
Braithwaite where a barricade of
three trucks had to be moved from
the road and then one mile outside
Of Points la -Hache where a pile of
oyster shells was fired with oil on
the road.
: The troops were carried in 81
trucks, fully equipped for action and
with machine guns mounted. The
only shots fired were some stray
bullets in the accidental discharge of
a machine gun at the truck 6arri-
cade.
Clash Narrowly Averted.
A clash with parish special depu-
ties was narrowly averted at the
Braithwaite barricade whete IS
deputies were massed but the depu-
ties retreated and scattered without
giving fight.
:, When the convoy reached the
courthouse Mr.. Perez and his depu-
ties had departed
. DR.. Slater protested his civil rights
were violated by the custer
Mr.. Blaize. after taking office. said
he would welcome the protection OF
the State Guard.
Il will be a lot more comfortable
with the military guard" Mr.. Blaize
said.
DR.. Slater, on his way out, de-
clared, IT don't think We will be able
to resort to the civil law in this case.
l think from now on we will have to
depend on the Ten Commandments"
The contest over the sheriffs office
has been in progress between Gov.
Jones and Mr. Perez since the death
of Sheriff L. D. Dauterive June l.
Mr.. Perez held out for an election
to name the successor, but Gov.
Jones acted to enforce his appoint
ment after the State Supreme Court
had upheld it.

Directors of the Kingsbury Child
Care Center will be requested to
continue it's present schedule OF
caring for the 10 children now on
the premises and not to accept any
more children for several more days
until there is more definite evid-
ence that the dread disease polio
is not invading the city of Water

city health officer, informed the
Democrat today.
However, Miss Pauline Moor, di-
rector of the center, wishes 1t to
be known that the center will con-
tinue it's daily schedule of accept
ing enrollments. And when the
polio scare is over, parents will
be able to bring their children to
the center for daily care and safe
ty, she added.
A regular monthly meeting will
take place at p. m. today to de-
termine if any other action will
have to be taken during the opera
ton of the center.
1.-The reason we won't let newly
enrolled children on the premises
is because we don't know where
they've been or with whom they've
associated. And we're certainly not
going to spoil our beautiful record

Draft Will Pick 49, 600
Fathers Before January I

Washington, Aug. 24-(UP)-Local
draft boards which will have to draft
446, 900 fathers before the end OF the
year were asked today to measure
each mans contribution to the war
effort and to take first the fathers
who contribute least.

tional director Of selective service,
revealed the number OF fathers
that must be taken to I'LL Army and
Navy quotas between October ] and
December 81 in letter to the $500
local draft boards.
THE fundamental issue Is not
whether we are to draft fathers"
he said, but whether, in the con-
sideration Of the war effort. We Will
call those men least valuable TO the
war effort"
Hershey said 100000 men were
requisitioned from selective service
for July. August and september, and
DOT 900 more will be required for the

New York, August "a. - CUP -
Returning from two months visit
to the Allied fighting fronts in Eu-
rope, Africa and Sicily, you are sur
priSed to find people at home max
ing bets that the war will be over
this year. This is an optimism that
is not shared by any Allied COM
mander 1 saw. They are making
no such bets at the fronts.
After dinner recently at the Brit
ish headquarters of a man who has
part in running the present. air
offensive against Germany, we took
a poll on possible dates for victory
in Europe. Each guest wrote his
guess on a slip of paper and placed
it in hat. Those present included
r. A. F. and American air force
officers. The average of all the
dates was then computed and it
came out as April Is, 1914.
The war in Europe is rolling splen-

ground troops have seized a bridge
head across the Francisco river
tightening their siege of the Sala-
maua airdrome on the New Guinea
coast, it was announced today.
The crossing was carried out as
aircraft steadily pounded the strong
ly-held Japanese base and Warships
ranged up the New Guinea coast
to shell the FinSch Harbor area for
the first time.
While definite lines in the Sala-
maua area were not clear and some
mop up operations against stray
glers continued behind Allied lines,
the crossing put Australian forces
in strength approximately two miles
from the airdrome.
Previously the Aussies had taken
a ridge overlooking the field, which
is only a mile southwest OF Sala-
maua town itself. The river runs
eastward and skirts the southern
end of the airdrome.
Gen. Douglas MacArthur's COM
munique said the crossing, appar-
emily made without opposition, was
at the western approaches to the
field. Field reports said the Aus
sizes met opposition on the south
bank of the river at another point.
There were no late reports OF the
American force moving northWard
nearer the coast.
Marauders bombed and strafed
the partly destroyed Salamau area
throughout yesterday morning while
other planes ranged up the coast
in continual harassing attacks.
