|Eberharfer Forfeifs
Collateral on Charge
|0f Disobeying Officer

Representative Eberharter, Demo-
crat, of Pennsylvania forfeited $25
collateral posted at police head
quarters late yesterday on two
counts, ignoring an official sign, $40
and disobeying an officers signal
SIS.
The charges stemmed from an
incident Saturday in which a car,
the license number of which is listed
to Mr.. Eberharter, dragged 56-year-
old Traffic Policeman Roy S. Bridges
40 feet and threw him to the ground
when the driver refused to stop
after making a prohibited left turn
at Fourteenth and H streets NV.
The policeman suffered bruises
and his uniform was torn after he
slid an estimated 10 feet on the
pavement.
After more than 48 hours, during
which Mr.. Eberharter could not be
reached for comment, either at his
home or at his Office, Assistant Cor
poration Counsel Clark F. King an
nounced late yesterday that the
Representative had been charged
with the offenses.
Mr.. Eberharter went into a side
entrance of the corporation coun-
sells Office in Municipal Court about
$3.50 pm, one-half hour before the
deadline set by Mr.. King.
Mr.. King told reporters that If
Mr.. Eberharter did not communi-
cate with him by pm. he would
issue a warrant for his arrest. Mr..
King said he had telephoned Mr..
Eberharter's Office and requested
that he get in touch with him.
Detected by Star reporter as he
left by side entrance after con-
ferring with Mr.. King. Mr.. Eber-
harter would neither deny nor con-
firm that he had been the driver of
the car.
Refuses to Comment.
Were you the driver?" he was
asked.
I'm sorry" he smiled. Il can't
answer that"
Would you care to issue a denial
that you were involved?" he was
asked.
II just can't comment at this
time Representative Eberharter
replied. But it makes interesting
reading, doesn't it?" he added.
MIR. King refused to admit to
newspapermen he had just conferred
with the Representative. When
told that Mr.. Eberharter was seen
leaving his office, Mr.. King replied,
"Oh, was that 1lim?"

Wasn't he in your ofIice?" he was

wasn't he in your ofiice?" he was
asked.
Some one was in, but I didn't
bother to ask his name," Mr.. King
replied. "All he said was that he
was interested In the case and
wanted to know what kind of col
lateral had to be posted in this kind
of case"
Meanwhile, officials of the Police
Department and the United States
attorneys Office explained why
criminal charges had not been
placed against the House member
Capt. William j. Cunningham OF
the police traffic division, said he
had gone with Mr.. Bridges yester-
day to the Office of Assistant United
States Attorney John B. Diamond
where they had discussed the posi-
hility of bringing a charge either
OF assault or leaving the scene OF
an accident against Mr.. Eberharter
We were told" Capt. Cunning
ham said, IAN assault charge could
not be brought against Mr.. Eber-
harter because it was Bridges who
placed his hand on Mr.. Eberharter's
car. We were also told that Mr.
Eberharter could not be charged
with leaving the scene of an acci-
dent because he stopped at the
next intersection and waited foi
the officer to come up. When Mr.
Eberharter asked what Bridges was
going to do about it (the traffic
offense), Bridges said he guessed
nothing could be DONE"
After the discussion with Mr.. Dia.
mond, Capt. Cunningham said, hi
took Mr.. Bridges to the Office of the
corporation counsel at Municipa
Court, where Mr.. Eberharter wa.
charged with the traffic violations

The collateral demanded for dis
obeying an officers signal, the police
oficial said, was SO above the mini.
mum, and the collateral for the Sec
ond charge was IS more than the
minimum.
"As far as we're concerned" said
Capt. Cunningham, "it's closed in
cident."
Mr.. Diamond said today Capt
Cunningham and Mr.. Bridges hao
been in his office yesterday, but 81

THE WOLF

The ocean is wide, the waves are rough,
Saying that I love you is not enough;
When you have Travelled far from shore,
Amidst the darkness, up cone the
Slumbering sound Of those who snore.
Can you dream such pleasant dream,
The one you love in every scene;
My favorite hobby, dear,
Is thinking Of you,
Great is the cons olati on when
I am feeling SO blue.
I stare in midst Of g starry sky,
Watching tropical moon hanging
Just above: Remind me Of you, darling
All in techni color,
The one, and only one, 7 love.
pray for the day cen aa in hold
You tight end your lips caress mine,
Darling, why should we worry?

Time".

All Adult Americans
Should See Pictures,
House Member Says

A prisoner of the Germans in
the World War and holder of the
Congressional Medal of Honor,
Representative Izac, Democrat,
of California declared yesterday
the German atrocity pictures
now being shown here should be
must for every adult Amer
ican."
The photomurals, at the Library
of Congress, and the motion pic
lures now being shown at public
schools, received high praise from
the Californian, who was member
of the congressional delegation that
visited concentration camps in
Europe at the invitation of Gen
Eisenhower.
Mr.. Izac is chairman Of House
delegation planning to go soon to
the Pacific area to study the prob
lem of the American course of action
in connection with Pacific Island
bases. In the delegation will be
members of the Naval Affairs Com
mittee, the Merchant Marine and
Fisheries Committee, and the APP
preparations Committee.
Hopes to Sponsor Exhibit.
Mr. Izac, of French extraction,
whose father was a native of Alsace,
said he and Mrs. Izac, both saw the
photomurals and the motion pic
lures. They were so much impressed,
he said, that he hopes to sponsor a
similar presentation of the subject
in his home city of San Diego,
sometime next fall.
So strongly does he feel about the
experiences he suffered as a Ger
man prisoner, the atrocities he wit
messed on his recent trip, and the
pictures now being exhibited here,
that he wants to do all he can by
every means possible to impress the
message of German cruelty on his
home State.
A graduate of the Naval Academy
in the class of 1915, Mr.. Izac was on
duty as a naval officer on the troop

Southerners in House
Weigh Compromise
On Funds for FEPC
Ry the Associated Press.

- --~~~~@-NN@
Southern foes of the Fair EN-
ployment Practices Committee
yesterday considered suggested
compromise to keep it alive as
a temporary agency so as to block
a move to make it permanent.
The compromise was advanced
Informally by a Southern House
leader in an effort to break the
month-old FEPC deadlock that has
tied up funds of 16 home-front war
agencies in a $752 900 900 supply bill
for the fiscal year already week
old.
1t provides for granting the FEPC
as now constituted-a temporary
agency created by executive order
and lacking legal power to enforce
its orders-a token" fund of per-
haps as much as 100000 to con-
tinue to operate.
Budget Estimate $599, 900.
The agency's budget estimates for
the fiscal year are $599,OOO.
BY allowing FEPC to continue
without giving it legal backing, the
agency'S foes believe they might
slow down a drive to give it perma-
nent and legal status.
Lying on the Speakers table in
the House is a discharge petition
which, if signed by 218 members,
would bring to vote legislation
setting up a permanent commission
intended to prevent employment
discrimination because of race,
creed or color. The petition now has
approximately 130 signatures.
Many friends of FEPC are dis
pleased with the permanent pro-
poSal because they believe it is too
far-reaching and have declined to
sign the discharge petition.
But the originator of the COM
promise, who declined to permit use
of his name, said that if the dead
lock continues and it becomes ap-
parent that FEPC will get nothing
at all, "the heat will be on and we
may find ourselves with perma-
nent FEPC."
1T would be far better to give
them a small amount to operate
without legal power to act, than to
have them set up as a statutory
body" he explained.
Foes May Reverse Selves.
The compromise was advanced as
House Appropriations Committee
members indicated they may reverse
themselves and recommend that
the House accept the $250,000 voted
by the Senate, or at least a part
of it. That would break the dead
lock, provided it could get the sup
port of the House itself.
There has been no record vote
in the House on the FEPC this year,
its opponents blocking it through
parliamentary moves.
Shold the FEPC deadlock holding
up the funds for the war agencies
continue much longer, thousands of
employees of those agencies will go
payless for work performed since
July l. Congress has authorized
the agencies to operate in anticipa-
ton of funds to be provided even
tually but has not allowed them to
do any actual spending.

in his behalf.
Mr.. Hill is making the trip to raise
funds to buy lifesaving equipment
as memorial to his late father, who
made the same trip three times
in 1910 and 1880 and 1881. The bar
rel he will use was built in 1880 tc
his fathers specifications. 1t weighs
$50 pounds and has $50 pounds oi
ballast in the bottom to keep 1t up
right.
1t was expected that 100000 per-
sons would be on hand to watch the
barrel on its course through the
swirling whirlpool and the seethine
rapids.
Remembering his fathers plight
In 1881 when his barrel was caught
in the whirlpool for 21a hours, Hill
will have two brothers. both expert
swimmers, and other rivermen ready
to come to his assistance. In his
fathers case, he swan out and got
