Appeals Court Takes
Stables Injunction
Under Amusement

The Court Of Appeals today took
under advisement the case OF the
Stables Restaurant after the ONCE
OF Price Administration asked the
court to remove the stigma" placed
on the agency by District Court
findings that witnesses had been
"bribed" and "coerced."
The statement was made by David
London, chief Of the OPA's appel
late section, as the agency conclud-
ed arguments on an appeal on Dis
trict Court Justice Daniel w.
|O'Donoghue's decision on January
II to enjoin the OPA from enforc-
ing an order suspending the restau-
rant from dealing in meats.
In taking the case under advise
ment, the court announced that it
would issue an order continuing the
injunction against the OPA pending
final determination of the appeal.
Justice O'Donoghue, after review
ing an OPA hearing charging the
restaurant with purchasing meat
without ration points, asserted in
his findings that the substance of
testimony was the result "of duress
and coercion to such a degree as to
render 1t unworthy of belief"
When the case was received by
the Appellate Court today Mr.. Lon
don informed the court that Attor-
ney E. Edward O'Connell for the
restaurant) had been served notice
and had not appeared for the
hearing.
II felt I would be remiss to my
colleagues" Mr.. London declared,
IF I did not take exception to a
finding which, in effect, charges
bribery and coercion to a group of
men trying to enforce a not en-
tirely popular law" In his finding
Justice ODonoghue had declared
that "the most substantial part of
the testimony was induced by
the payment Of 27,000 red points to
one witness, while another witness
was coerced into testifying by meas
ures taken to prevent him from OBJ
tanning employment unless he tes-
tilted in manner decided by the
OPA"
Justice Thurman Arnold, who
heard the case along with Justices
Henry w. Edgerton and Justin
Miller, asked the OPA attorney if
the agency was not "in effect en-
couraging stool pigeon evidence"
Mr. London replied that the OPA
has a right ito resort to all legal
methods" In an effort to determine
when violations had occurred.

Gen. Reckord said the $4,000 total,
which was published in the Army

by adding the approximately 800
new AWOL cases reported daily and
not taking into account those who
returned to duty each day.
Actually there were 5,437 AWOLs
reported during December who had
not returned or been caught by the

House Subcommittee
Agrees on Details Of
Permanent FEPC

The first step to make the Fair
employment Practices Committee a
permanent agency to prevent racial
or other discrimination in employ
ment was taken today when House
Labor subcommittee agreed in sub
stance on composite bill to be
written from a dozen measures on
the subject.
Representative Randolph, Demo-
crat, OF West Virginia, subcommit-
tee chairman, announced that one
feature Of the new bill is that Con-
gress would retain the right to pass
on regulations drawn up by the new
agency. This would be done by
passing concurrent resolution
within go days after the regulations
are announced.
This provision Is similar to the
authority reserved by Congress in
the Government Reorganization Act
several years ago, and would give
the House and Senate a method of
vetoing regulations of which it does
not approve. A concurrent resolu-
tion does not require the Presidents
signature.
The full Labor Committee had
intended to meet tomorrow to act
on an FEPC bill, but Mr. Randolph
said this meeting is being postponed
to give the subcommittee time to
work out a new draft. The subcom-
nittee expects to complete its work
on February IL.

ity for FEPC into the pending work.
