FEC Action 10 Prevent
Phone Surcharqes Denied

Justice T. Alan Goldsborough of
District Court late yesterday denied
a preliminary restraining order
sought by the Federal Communica-
tons Commission immediately to
prohibit u hotels in the District
from making surcharges on long
distance telephone calls.
The FEC recently brought suit
ior injunction against the hotels,
the American Telegraph and Tele-
phone Co. and the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Co., in which it
was claimed the hotels have been
illegally collecting extra charges for
the long-distance calls, in violation
OF tariffs of the telephone COM
panies on file with the FEC.
The hotels steadfastly have
claimed that the extra charges are
for service rendered by the hotels
and are not in the nature of toll
charges for the calls.
The hotels also claim that the
question Of the alleged service
charges comes under the District
Rent Commission and that the FEC
does not have jurisdiction in the
matter. The question of perma-
nent Injunction is still pending.

Justice Pine Orders
Bratcher Removed 10
Alexandra for Trial
FBI Mons Testimony
Brings Decision in
Draft Evusion Case

Everett M. (Washie) Bratcher's
removal to Alexandria, Va, to face
a draft-evasion charge was ordered
today by Judge David A. Pine in
District Court.
At the same time, the justice gave
Defense Attorney T. Edward O'Con-
nell until 3 o'clock this afternoon to
obtain a writ of habeas corpus
which might prolong the fight of
the orchestra leader to avoid re-
moval from this jurisdiction.
Bratcher, meanwhile, was placed
in the courthouse cell block.
The case now has dragged out
several weeks, beginning with two
hearings before United States Com
missioner Needham c. Turnage.
The turning point in the case to-
day was the testimony of Gaylen N.
Willis, Federal Bureau of Investiga-
ton agent from Richmond, who
swore to the original complaint
against the band leader. Mr..
O'Connell had contended the COM
plant was based on hearsay and not
personal knowledge of the case. 1t
was that argument yesterday that
caused Justice Pine to recess the
case until today, when the agent
could be brought from Richmond to
testify.
Mr.. Willis told the court he swore
out the complaint after reading an
alleged confession signed by Bratcher
in the presence of two FBI agents.
Mr.. O'Conneu said the statement
did not admit that Bratcher had
made a false statement to the
medical officer at the Fort Myer in
duction center, as the Government
contends. He moved that the cem-
plant be dismissed on that ground.
Justice Pine indicated that on a
basis of testimony given in court
yesterday he had been inclined to
dismiss the Governments motion
for the issuance of a warrant, but
that Mr.. Willis testimony today
changed his opinion.
