In Dies Probe Case

Justice James M. Proctor of Dis
trict Court today ordered directed
verdict of acquittal for James H
Dolsen. 60, of Pittsburgh, on charges
of failing to answer certain ques-
tions before the Dies Committee on
Un-American Activities in 1910.
Justice Proctor ruled that the
evidence on which the Dies COM
mittee questions were based was
illegally seized from Mr.. Dolsen.
This was claimed in defense mo-
ton to suppress evidence in the case
at court. which Justice Proctor
sustained.
The defense motion also claimed
Mr.. Dolsen had been brought to
Washington under duress by an in
vestigator for the Dies committee
His attorney, Charles E. Ford, argued
that Mr.. Dolsen thought he was
under arrest, when actually he had
been served with a subpoena to ap-
pear with records.
Justice Proctor said his ruling was
not to be interpreted as any general
criticism of the Dies committee.
Mr.. Dolsen, who said he was an
agent for the Daily Worker, had
been charged with refusing to answer
questions before the Dies committee
as to whether two persons were
members of the Communist party
and refusing to name certain Com
munist officials.

Senator Moore Raises
Prospect Of Debate
On Vinson Nomination

Senator Moore. Republican, of
Oklahoma signaled for a chance
to speak today before his colleagues
confirm Fred M. Vinson as the
18th Chief Justice of the United
States.
Democratic leaders said over
whelming approval of Mr.. Wilson's
selection was a certainty in view of
the bipartisan support given the
nomination in the Judiciary Com
mittee.
But Senator Moore raised the
prospect OF debate. He told re-
porter that as member of the
Judiciary Committee he had not
voted to recommend confirmation of
Mr.. Vinson and would have some
thing to say. He refused to amplify.
The committee approved the nom-
ination yesterday. Chairman Nc
Carran said the vote was unanimous
except for one member who would
make his position clear on the Sen
ate floor.
The committee acted after with
holding consideration for five days
in order to receive statement
from Edmund J. Creel of Wash
ington. who had complained orally
against Mr.. Wilson's decisions in a
receivership case 13 years ago. Mr..
Vinson was member of the Court
of Appeals here at the time.
Senator McCarran said an ex-
animation of the record disclosed
that Mr.. Wilson's only connection
with the case was to join with other
members of the court in granting
extensions.
Mr.. Creel told The Star today he
has formally withdrawn his opposi-
ton to the nomination.
The committee also decided
against making any use of a series
of questions which Senator McCar-
ran said Robert G. Taylor of Media,
Pa, submitted with the suggestion
that they be propounded to Mr..
VinSon.

Senate Expected 10 Confirm
Mrs. Gallagher This Week

Confirmation of the appointment
of Mrs. Nadine Lane Gallagher,
Justice Department attorney, as a
member of the Municipal Court
bench here is expected to be voted
by the Senate today or later this
week.
A favorable report on the norni-
nation from the Senate judiciary
Committee was made late yeSter-
day by Chairman McCarran, who
had headed the subcommittee that
held hearings on the appointment.
In recent formal poll large
majority OF the members of the
District Bar Association opposed
the appointment, largely on the
question OF whether she could
qualify under the legal requirement
that a judge of the court must have
had five years of actual law prac-
tice. The question turned on
whether law work for a Government
department constituted actual law
practice.
Senator McCarran has called for
a study OF proposed strengthening
OF this requirement.

Senate Passage Sends
Bill for New Penal
Setup 10 Truman

The Hebert bill placing control
over the Districts penal institutions
directly under the Commissioners,
today was on its way to the White
House for signature into law.
The House bill, creating a munich
pal department of corrections, was
approved by unanimous action by
the Senate late yesterday after a
brief explanation by Acting Com
mittee Chairman Hoey, Democrat, of
North Carolina.
At the same time, Senator Hoey
obtained unanimous approval of a
bill to extend the operation of the
Districts separate residential rent
control system for year from its
present terminal date, next Decem-
ber 81.
House to Act.
The rent control measure now
goes to the House where early ac-
ton is expected to be ordered by
Chairman Mcmillan of the House
District Committee.
The proposed extension of resi-
Dental rent control here is en-
tirely separate from proposed legis-
lation for adoption for the District
of emergency period" controls
over commercial property rentals,
now being considered by a House
District subcommittee headed by
Representative Healy, Democrat, of,
California.
Objection Withdrawn.
The residential rent control bill
was called up in the Senate last
week and blocked by Senator Nc
Mahon, Democrat, of Connecticut.
When Senator Hoey brought the
question up again late yesterday,
the Connecticut Senator arose to
say he had blocked the bill earlier
only because he was in favor of a
much more liberal bill for continual
ton of the national price control
system than had been adopted by
the Senate.
However he stressed his position
that he favored residential rent
controls and that because of the
ollOl Ullllc lS1U UC1OlC { COllSl CSSlO1l0l
adjournment he would withdraw his
objection
Final legislative action on, the
District penal institutions control
bill was taken promptly after the
Commissioners indicated they would
not press their suggestion for an
amendment to the House bill so
as to provide for board of visitors
for the prisons. d
Avoids Amendment.
This decision avoided an amend
ment of the House bill, sponsored by
Representative Hebert, Democrat, of
Louisiana, who headed the House
subcommittee which recently probed
the Jail breaks.
Control over the penal institutions
now is. vested with the nonpaid
members of the Board of Public
Welfare, who have control over all
welfare agencies and services as
we'll as the penal institutions. A
bill, advocated by the Commissioners,
to transfer all the welfare functions
to the city heads and to convert
the welfare board into an advisory
agency has been pigeon -holed by
House District Committee leaders.

. Capital Transit Plans
To Keep Present Fare
Despite Pay Increase

The Capital Transit Co. does not
plan to seek an increase in fares
at present. company spokesman
said today, despite wage increases
of six cents an hour accepted by the
transit workers union yesterday to
cover the contract year beginning
July /.
w. E. Simms, president of Local
689, Amalgamated Association of
Street. Electric Railway and Motor
Coach Employees (AFL), who earlier
had presented the company with a
union demand for a 13-cents-an-
hour increase, said the contract will
be signed this week. The existing
contract expires June 30.
The union membership, made up
OF more than 4,200 workers, voted to
accept the company's counter pro-
posal at Pythian Temple yesterday
by a margin of more than to i
COS for and 1872 against-although
the company offer was less than
half what the union requested.
Subject to Board Approval.
The new wage rate is subject to
Wage Sterilization Board approval
E. G. Giddings, spokesman for the
company. said an increase in rates
would be asked only if the new scale
reduced earnings to the point where
the company is forced to seek relief.
Except for a brief protest by one
union member that the new agree
ment has no provision for reopening
wage negotiations during the life of
the contract, the workers accepted
the company's offer placidly.
Merrill Issues Statement.
Later, E. D. Merrill, president of
Capital Transit, said in a statement:
The management, in making its
offer to again increase wages, was
fully aware of the rise in the cost
of living and the pattern of rising
wages in other industries. Our en-
ployes are among, the highest paid
transit workers in the United States
and deserving of being well paid.
However, with the combination
of higher wages and increased ex-
penditures for added streetcar and
bus service, it becomes more diff
cult for management to make ends
meet" 1
With the Scent increase, operat-
Ing employees will receive $1.20 an
hour, an increase of 50 per cent
since January, 1941.
In addition to the wage raise and
tlse assurance of six-day week, the
nEc change in the existing contract
>rnvtues that probationary en-
pldyst. who went into the armed
forces before their probationary
period expired, will have job senior
ity rights dating back to the first
day of employment.
Company spokesmen said the in
crease will cost the transit firm
about 100000 annually.

Cocktail Parties
In army Circle
'DraaU Interest
Bv Betty BeaIe

As far as the cocktail depart
ment was concerned, yesterday was
practically Army day. The gen.
erals and their wives could have
had very busy day If they had taken
IN everything with a military flavor
on the late afternoons schedule.
Maj. Gen. David McCoach and
his stunning wife entertained at
the Army and Navy Club and the
private dining room overlooking
F'arragut Square was bright with
stars Of the shoulder variety. OF
the 100-and-some guests at this
gay party given by the former En-
gineer Commissioner of the Dis
trict and Mrs. McCoach, q large
number were high-ranking officers.
1t. Gen. and Mrs. Dan Sultan,
1t. Gen. Raymond Wheeler, Mai.
Gen. and Mrs. Clinton Robinson
and Maj. Gen. and Mrs. Virgil Pc
terson were among those invited,
as were Maj. Gen. and Mrs. Harry
Aurand, Brig. Gen. and Mrs. Theo-
dore Osborne and Brig. Gen. and
Mrs. Sidney Chappell. Maj. Gen.
and Mrs. Everett Hughes were also
invited, but the general went on
shooting trip with Chief Of Staff
Gen. Eisenhower, so only Mrs.
Hughes was able to attend.
All three District Commissioners
and their wives were on this list
as well as the Charles H. Tomp-
kinses, the Walter Distlers, Mr.. and
Mrs. Clifford Bergman and Mr..
and Mrs. Ben McKelway. n
Over on FoxhalI road IN the
home Of Col. and Mrs. George w.
Cocheu there was plenty Of merri-
ment going on. The party was
given in honor Of Maj. Gen. Frank
Sherman Cocheu to celebrate his
18th birthday anniversary. There
were about 100 guests in all, in
Guiding Col. and Mrs. Cocheus
guest over the week end, Mrs. Rus
sell Love of Philadelphia.
The high point of the evening,
Of course, was the appearance of an
elaborate cake. Along with some
blue and white trimming it bore
an umbrella of icing which stood
for the Umbrella" regiment, the
old 18th Infantry Regiment, the
first Gen. Cocheu BELONGED to after
his graduation from West Point.
The nickname goes back further
than that. however. 1t dates from
the time when the regiment, some
where out West, was unexpectedly
inspected and some of the men
were caught with full-blown bum
bershoots in their hands.
Still another group in the party
mood at cocktail time were the 10
or 80 guests Of Col. and Mrs. Lionel
C. Goudeau. Their new home in
Arlington was filled with friends
from Marine, Army and Navy cir
cles as well as the diplomatic CORPS.
