Meat Case Against
Firm Is NoI-Prossed

A case against the Schultz Re-
frigerated Service, Inc, of Philadel-
phia, charged with introducing
meat into interstate
commerce and with receiving the
meat in shipment without obtain
ing a shippers certificate, was mol
pressed yesterday in District Court
for lack of evidence.
g, OF 29,004 pounds of meat said
to have been included in a ship
ment from Washington to Phila-
delphia in December, 1913, only
1850 pounds was actually con-
demned as spoiled, said Assistant
United States Attorney John C.
Conliff, jr., who nol-prossed the
case. Mr.. Conliff said an investi-
cation showed the corporation had
no knowledge that any of the meat
was spoiled.
An indictment against Witt &
Co., Inc, of this city, and Samuel
Kolker and Sidney Kolker in con-
|nection with the meat shipment
still stands. Witt & Co. and the
Kolkers, described as owners and
operators, are charged with failure
TO deliver to a carrier a shippers
certificate and introducing adul-
terated food into interstate COM

turned in June. 1914.

Fulbright Gives Charter Day
Address al WILLIAMSBURG
y the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
WILLIAMSBURG, Va, Feb. g.
Senator Fulbright, Democrat, of
Arkansas, declared in Charter Day
address yesterday at the College Of
William and Mary that it is "pecu-
liarly the responsibility of Ameri-
cans to understand and to take the
lead in the creation OF a peaceful
world"
Speaking in Phi Beta Kappa Hall,
Senator Fulbright said that mot
only is it to our selfish material in
terests, because we have more to lose
by chaos than any other people, but
it is also our moral duty to give di-
rection and strength to the be-
wildered people of this earth who
are cropping helplessly for peace and
a decent life.
MY point is simply that the abso-
lutte and fundamental requirement
for an orderly and peaceful society
OF human beings is rules of conduct
enforced by the community as
against all its members. No other
principle has ever brought peace to
any substantial group of men.
RULES Of conduct can be estab-
hshed over peoples in two ways:
Either by force or by agreement. To
do it by force means persistence and
successful warfare until one nation
imposes its will on all others. For
US to follow this policy is unwise
and unlikely and contrary
to our traditions. To do it by agree
ment is in accord with our tradi-
tional beliefs and practices"

BALTIMORE, Feb. ga large,
powerful male dog of breed or
breeds unknown" brought Henry L.
Mencken, the author, into court as
a plaintiff yesterday.
Mr.. Mencken filed an Injunction
suit against his neighbor, Charles
Fortenbaugh, seeking abatement of
the alleged nuisance of the dogs
barking.
In papers filed by ATTORNEY
Richard Cleveland, the noted Balti-
more writer asserted that he has
acquired through many strenuous
years Of newspaper reporting and
editing more than the normal in
difference to ordinary distractions,
confusions and vicissitudes in every
day living and in pursuing his pro-
fessional livelihood
just the same, said the petition,
the large, powerful male dog of
breed or breeds unknown is so
persistently noisy that Mr.. Mencken
cannot live with normal peace and
comfort" and his ability to carry
on professional work is impaired y
The suit charged that the dog
banks during the day, during the
evening and through the night and
the sound is "abnormally and
extraordinarily harsh and distract
ing"
Circuit Judge Emory H. Miles
directed Mr.. Fortenbaugh to show
cause within is days why the court
should not take action.

struction with wage increase where
necessary and stepped up appren-
tice training program in the build
ing trades. He would add 1,500, 000
workers.
Research Advised.
An additional $3.50, 900, 900 also is re-
quested to provide 100000 temporary
housing units for veterans housing
in cities and colleges.
An unspecified amount was sug-
gested to stimulate technical re-
search of new construction methods
and materials by private research
groups. Mr.. Wyatt stressed impor-
lance of prefabrication methods.
Other steps would include price
ceilings on urban building lots, as
well as used houses; more effective
price control on materials; continu-
alton of rent controls; mortgage in
surance up to 80 per cent of the
value of new low-cost homes; a ban
on "all deferrable and nonessential
construction" for the rest of the
year, and priority ALLEGATIONS which
would place the largest part oil
building materials into homes sell
ing for $4,000 or less or renting for
$50 a month or less.
Mr.. Wyatt said the program calls
for the construction of a larger
number of homes during the next
two years than in any comparable
period in our history" and said the
most vigorous and imaginative
measures will be required in the
building industry" to meet the g..
zoe, 1000 goal.

Pilkerton Reports Support
For Merging Payroll Work

Auditor A. r. Pilkerton said yes
terday he has received support for
his proposed centralized payroll
plan from Baltimore, Philadelphia
and Cleveland and other big cities
operating a consolidated auditing
Office.
The auditor presented his pro-
posal to the Commissioner last fall
after continuous complaints from
District employees who received their
pay checks late. It would bring
under his direct supervision the
accounting of the Board of Educa-
ton, the Health Department, the
Welfare Department, the Public
Library and the Recreation De-
partment. all of which now prepare
their own payrolls. The result, ac-
cording to Mr. Pilkerton, is much
duplication of effort.
At the request of the Commission
ers, the Interdepartmental Commit
tee, representing the General Ac-
counting Office, the Bureau of the
Budget and the Treasury, is making
a study of the administrative pro-
cedures in the auditors office to
determine Improvements necessary
to end payroll delays.

costs of returning three agencies.
They are the Patent ONCE, Rural
Identification Administration and
the Farm Credit Administration,
and, in addition, 500 employees of
agencies not yet designated.
1t was indicated the President
later would seek funds to return
other decentralized agencies.
The fund now requested would
provide for return of the properties
OF the agencies, travel expenses for
the employees, including members of
their families, and the cost Of the
packing, Grating and freighting Of
personal and household effects.
The same also would be used to
provide office space for returning
workers.
The number of workers involved
in the present request was not
made known, but it was recalled
that $4,000 workers were involved
in the decentralization orders issued
by former President Roosevelt. This

Virginia Communists Open
Fight on Pickering Bill
BY the Associated Press.

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 9.-The
Communist party from its Rich
mond headquarters has issued a
mimeographed Legislative bulletin
urging that Senate bill 1853 to pro-
hibit picketing by violence be de-
feated. @
The bulletin states that this bill
would deny Virginians the rights
guaranteed them by the United
States Constitution and the Bill OF
Rights-that of petitioning for re-
dress of wrong" The bulletin
further asserts that the measure
would destroy the hard won right
to strike and picket, through which
workers can petition for redress OF
wrong by big business.
This bill would place in the hands
of the chiefs of police and sheriffs
the right to say how many workers
could picket. 1t is the worst kind
of Strike breaking measure. A bill
very much like it was defeated re-
Gently by the Texas State Legis-
lature."

D. {. Home Builders
Oppose Features Of
U.S.. Housing Program

Washington home builders today
deplored features of the proposal of
Housing Administrator Wilson w.
Wyatt to start construction on
2,700,000 houses by the end of 1947
as a serious threat to the small
business character" of the home
building industry.
Especially Objectionable, said Ern-
est F. Henry, executive director of
the Home Builders Association of
Metropolitan Washington, were rec
concentrations that manufacturing
of prefabricated homes be expanded.
This program could concentrate
the home building industry in few
spots and break up the small bust
ness character of the industry" he
said.
Favors Conventional Houses.
Mr.. Henry said that if the same
amount Of Government effort con-
templated in the plan submitted
Yesterday by Mr.. Wyatt were put
forth to aid conventional home
building "the Nation would get just
as much housing and it would be
better housing"
At the same time, S. Dolan
Donohoe, president of the Washing
ton Real Estate Board, said he
Endorsed the controversial proposal
for ceiling on existing homes. Earlier,
the National Association Of Real
Estate Boards announced 1t took
exception to Mr.. Wyatt's plan for
ceiling prices ON existing homes and
building lots, and public housing
features of the Wagner Ellender-.
Taft general housing bill, which was
Endorsed by the housing admin
istrator.
First Sale Ceiling Asked.
Mr.. Donohoe said he believed that
If the Government considered a
price ceiling on existing home neces-
sary to curb imitation, it should be a
ceiling established by the first sale.
He explained that under this plan
a house sold for $4,000 could not be
resold for a six-month period except
at the same price, plus sales fees.
Building that will get going soon
would make it unnecessary to con-
tinue price ceilings very long" he
said, "for with new building under
way we'll quickly be over the hump"
He said such ceiling would
prevent speculative purchases merely
for quick resale at higher prices.
