Pre-IriaI Examination
Granted in WMCA Action

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. l0.-The Ap-
pellate Division in a unanimous de-
cision yesterday permitted Donald
Flamm, former owner Of radio Sta
ton WMCA. to examine Edward
j. Noble, present station owner, be-
fore trial of Mr.. Flamms $2925, ,00C
damage action.
The decision followed a long series
OF legal moves based on the action
in which Mr.. Flamm claimed he was
"coerced" into selling the station
to Mr. Noble for $S50,0O0. In the
original action, Mr.. Flamm charged
that Mr. Noble, former Undersecre-
tary of Commerce, was represented
to him as man Of such powerful
connections that, unless Mr.. Flamm
agreed to the sale, he would lose
his license to broadcast and his
entire investment"
Supreme Court Justice David Peck
refused to rescind the sale on the
ground that the action had not
been brought promptly and then
Mr.. Flamm, in an amended COM
plant, sought recovery of almost
100000 in triple damages on the
ground he was forced to part with
his property rights at sum far
below their market value"
The current move in the case came
before the Appellate Division or
an appeal from Supreme Court
Justice Benedict D. Dineen's denial
of Mr.. Flamm's motion for a pre-
trial examination of Mrs Noble.

Legislators Refuse
Referendum Pledge
On Liquor Sale Ban

More than 200 residents Of Colnar
Manor and Cottage City, Md. last
night demanded that the Prince
Georges County delegation to the
State Legislature support bill pro-
viding for a referendum on a pro-
posal to ban the sale of whisky in
the two towns. They failed to obtain
a definite pledge from three Of the
six delegates and from the county's
State Senator who attended the
meeting in the Cottage City Fire.
house.
A dozen speakers deplored con-
ditions along the Baltimore boule-
ward, which divides the two towns,
arising from what they charged was
the practice of liquor establishments
there to sell whisky on Sundays and
after the 2 am. closing hour.
The Rev. John Culver, pastor Of
the Wilson Avenue Baptist Church,
Colmar Manor, then asked whether
the legislators present would support
the proposed measure.
While refusing to commit himself
or speak for other members Of the
delegation pending a meeting Of the
entire group, Leroy Humphrey de-
clared:
Nobody can close his eyes to the
fact that you people have trouble
here and, incidentally, demands
have come to me from all over the
county for something to be done
about the liquor question.
Favors Some Action.
Speaking for myself, I think
something should be done. I can't
see how liquor establishments in the
county can justify keeping open
after taverns close in the District
at midnight. promise you that the
problem will be given our very earn
est consideration"
State Senator L. Harold Sothoron
asserted that there is difference
of opinion. as to how the problem
should be solved. After all, referen-
dunn is no panacea."

Noah Joffe did not speak. Members
of the legislative delegation who did
not attend were John S. White,
speaker of the House of Delegates;
