Mrs. Luce Threatens
To Resign From OAR
In Race Controversy

Representative Luce, Republican,
of Connecticut informed her local
chapter of the Daughters of the
American Revolution in Greenwich,
Conn, yesterday that she would be
forced to resign from the organi-
zation If the chapter did not pro-
test the denial of Constitution Hall
to Hazel Scott, colored pianist.
Mrs. Luce sent a telegram to Mrs.
Henry M. Brooks of the Putnam
Hill Chapter in Greenwich, accord
ing to the Associated Press, urging
that it draft a resolution opposing
the action of the OAR Executive
Committee in denying the hall to
the pianist who is the wife of a
Democratic colleague in the House,
Adam Clayton Powell, jr., repre-
sentative of New Yorks Harlem dis
trict.
Mrs. Luce's telegram concluded,
"If no such resolution can be
drafted by our chapter, SHALL of
course, be forced to resign from the
OAR"
Mrs. Luces telegram of protest
read:
Like all daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution, am very proud TO
belong to an organization, the pur-
pose of which is to cherish the men,
ory of our ancestors who fought in
the War of Independence.
But hope I have not forgotten
faI,a1nt
fought to be free from humiliation
and oppression of political in
equality. And when they had won
their liberty they found in liberty's
name a Nation dedicated to the
cardinal principle that all men are
equal in the eyes Of our Government
as they are in the eyes of God.
This was the spirit of the men
of the Revolution and of the men
who wrote our Constitution. This
spirit must eternally be at war with
racial prejudice and discrimina-
ton"
Mrs Luce added the closing of
Constitution Hall to "colored artists
is therefore betrayal of the princi-
piles of the men of the Revolution
and stab in the back to the men
who drafted our Constitution
At the same time, Mr.. Powell in
New York announced the three
principal candidates in the current
mayorality race, Judge Jonah J.
Goldstein, Republican designee,
Brig Gen. William ODwyer, Demo-
crat, and City Council President
NeWbold Morris of the No Deal
Party, had accepted invitations to
speak October 81 at protest meet
ing The meeting, he said, will be
sponsored by the Peoples OAR"

of 16 persons affiliated with a peo-
pies committee, a permanent group

Importance of the United States as
a market for air transport services" :"
1t said this country's policy should
forbid foreign control or ownership
OF United States flag air lines, and
added such a policy may very well
be initiated by other countries" 1t
recommended that all international
carriers be permitted to use inter-
national airways. communications
facilities, meteorological services and
airports without discrimination.
In opposing single company
monopoly the department suggested
happy medium somewhere between
monopoly and all-out unrestricted
competition. Two alternatives ap-
pear possible. it said:
First, different companies may
be given the American flag opera
tions in different geographic zones:
One American company might op-
crate the Atlantic service to Europe,
a second might operate the services
to Latin America. and a third might
operate the Pacific services to Asia
and the Indies. These three regional
monopolies would be noncompeti-
tive, but their independent operation
would provide scope for competi-
tive emulation and would stimulate
experimentation with new equip
ment and new operating tech
niques. -
See Gain In Competition.
"A second alternative would be
to provide indirect competition on
alternative routes. For example, one
company might operate the Trans
atlantic route to Northern Europe.
while the second operated to South
ern Europe. In Latin America
separation of Pan American Air
ways and Pan Americana Grace
would provide direct competition to
Columbia and Panama, and indirect
competition between the East Coast
