US. Court Dismisses Million
Dollar Suit Against Head
Gear Workers. Union
Judge Rules Old Informers'
Act Not Applicable in Case

New York City (ILNS).-U. S. Dis
trict Court Judge Vincent Leibell has
dismissed today suit for $1,OOO,0OO
brought against the United Hatters,
Cap and Millinery Workers Interna-
ton Union and numerous cap manufac-
turers who made Army hats and caps
for the War Department.
The action was brought under an
old Informers' Act, enacted during the
Civil War, by which an informer can
recover double damages for any frauds
which he can prove have been commit
ted in the awarding of government
contracts. This law was amended by
Congress March a, 1914, enabling the
government to take over any actions
which informers may have brought.
Louis Waldman, labor attorney with
offices at 305 Broadway, represented
the Cap & Millinery International
Union, submitted documentary evil
dence in support of motion made by
him in advance of trial showing that
under the new policy of the govern
ment, contracts were being negotiated
and as to such contracts the old In
formers Act does not apply.
Judge Backs Waldman
In granting his motion in favor of
the defendants, who were accused of
acting in collusion by agreeing on a
price to be submitted in their bids for
1000 900 Army hats and caps, Judge
Leibell held that the government had
actually negotiated with the represent
atives of the union and the cap manu-
facturers.
"There was no deceit in the case at
bar because on the admitted facts the
government knew in advance the plan
of the defendant. manufacturers to sub
nit a uniform price !. The govern
ment officials were not acting under
any misapprehension; they were not
deceived ;.
sThere being no fraud in the claim
presented, there is no cause OF action
based upon the statute in question
and defendants motion for summary
Judgment should be granted
Decision Seen Significant
"rhis decision" Waldman said, zone
of the first to be rendered in the num-
erous informers' actions which have
been brought, is expected to have an
important bearing on other actions
which were originally instituted by
private parties claiming to have know
ledge of frauds committed against the
government, and subsequently taken
over by the government"
Max Zaritsky, president of the in
ternational union, when informed of
the decision said:
"There was no basis for this action
in the first place. Organizations and
individuals who cooperated patrioti-
cally and whole-heartedly with the
government were made the innocent
victims of suits that should never have
been permitted. Judge Leibell's deci-
sion has confirmed the feelings we en-
tertained all along that justice would
prevail in the end"

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

United States that inclusion in the
charter of provisions for the effec-
tive promotion of human rights will
facilitate it's acceptance, since there
is an increasing awareness Of the fact
that the violation of human rights
anywhere may be a threat to world
peace everywhere" the statement
adds.
Protection of human rights is men,
toned as essential to peace, in La
boris Monthly Survey" of the AFL,
which says in part:
"With final victory in Europe now
so nearly in sight, the task of organ
izing for peace is immediate and urg-
ent. Only thus can we accomplish the
purpose for which the war was fought.
AS President Truman has said: With
out international organization, the
rights of man on earth cannot be pro-
tected Security will be found only in
law and justice.
"Workers especially look to the
United Nations Conference in San
Francisco with hope, for they more
than any other group have borne the
brunt Of this war, as they bear the
brunt of every war. The conference
has rightly been called the most fate
full conference in all American his
tory"
"For we know" the AFL continues
"that in an age of robot bombs, when
scientific invention will bring ever
more powerful instruments of destruc-
ton, no place on earth is free from
| attack. The nations must either or.
ganize for peace or face the end Of
civilization.
"To prevent war we must have {
pact including all nations powerful
enough to start world war, and il
must be based on justice and human
rights and strong enough to keep the
peace"

1.-THE historical background of the
Bible is of little value, unless we
apply it in practical way to build
A better world as individuals, in
society and among nations" Robert
N Mcleod, instructor of the Mems
Bible Glass at New York Avenue
Presbyterian Church, explained in
setting forth the basis of his Scrip
lure teachings.
Mr.. Mcleod, who has been guiding
the New York Avenue Church class
destinies for the last five years,
declared the principles of Jesus
Christ are applicable to present day
life and we are faced with a strik-
ing challenge to bring these prin-
ciples to bear on the worlds prob
lens"
Teaching Bible classes is not a
new experience for Mr.. Mcleod
twenty-five years ago the pastor OF
the Andalusia (Ala.) First Presby-
terian Church asked him to take
over group. Mr.. Mcleod did and
taught the class for IL years. He
later led class at the First Pres
byterian Church of Atlanta, Ga.
for three years.
He came to Washington as an
ernploye of the Federal Employment
Insurance Corp. in 1885 and shortly
thereafter joined the New York
Avenue Church.
An opportunity for every member
of the class to express his views
following his lecture is provided, Mr.
Mcleod said, in the discussion
period. The University of Alabama
alumnus prepares for his lecture by

the Old Testament into Greek,
called the Septuagint Both religion
and patriotism survived. The great
groups called Pharisees. Sadducees,
Essences came into existence. The
synagogue became an established
institution.
That long and bloody stretch of
time between the TeStaments was
meant for the purifying of the Jews.
It's duration emphasizes the patience
of a merciful God. But the people
would not accept the Providence,
/ The pure religion Of the Law was
turned into rigid piosity and ecclesl-
aStical Journalism.
/ Those tumultuous years in the his
/ tory of the Jews that lie between
/ the two Testaments were, broadly
viewed, a time of great expectations.
1t was the period of the voluntary
dispersion of the Jews into Egypt
and Europe 1t marked their transi-
ton from a pastoral and an agri-
cultural people into the commercial
field. But always the best of the
Chosen People followed the gleam of
a Deliverer- Messiah to come.
Our own lesson concludes with
the fulfllment of that great hope.
1t records a Saviour come, in the
person of Jesus. But when the
fullness of the time was come, God
sent forth His Son, made of
woman, made under the law. to re-
deem them that were under the law,
that we might receive the adoption
of sons" Galatians 4:4.5D

we look for the leadership of Christ

Dorian Gray Proves
Great Picture at u. A.
BY CHARLES GENTRY

M-G-M HAS painted a master
piece on celluloid in bringing The
Picture Of Dorian Gray TO the
screen.
This film version Of Oscar
Wilde's only novel. which opened
at the United Artists YESTERDAY
has been produced with rare
artistry and great taste.
Because of its peculiar subject.
there undoubtedly must have been
many problems facing all who
were concerned with the making
of such a film. bat these problems
have been surmOuntcd with Kind
of Subtlety which IS indeed re-
markablc. Either that or they
have been cvadcd by an approach
one seldom expects Hollywood %
use.
While it is not an English pie.
turc, Dorian Gray contains the
very essence Of polite Mayfair
drawing-roem behavior, behind
which turks the ylciOuSneSS OF
hybrid VICE.
This front" is one Of the fac
tors which particularly impressed
us about the film, because It has
been staged and directed d so
smoothly
