was, as 1t had been in the House,
that offered by such public bodies as
the governmental agencies con-
cerned with the regulation of trans
portation, and by the shippers who
pay the freight bills.
AS to the passage of the bill in
the House, Mr.. Mellett was just as
wrong as in his statements about
lack of committee hearings. He says
that 1t was accomplished when no.
body was looking" There is no
semblance of foundation for such a
statement. Few bills in the present
Congress received more publicity
and discussion before being voted
on than this one The bill has been
the subject of numerous speeches by
lawyers connected with the anti
trust division of the Department Of
Justice, and also by representatives
Of shippers and carriers. There was
an excellent attendance of House
members when the bill was under
consideration. The overwhelming
vote for the bill on the House side
was due both to the unquestionable
soundness of the proposed legisla-
tion and to the fact that it had had
enough discussion so that members
Of the House were fully acquainted
with the bill and advised of the solid
support which 1t has received from
all interests directly concerned with
transportation and qualified to
reach a conclusion with respect to it.
Contradicts MelIett Statement.
Mr.. Mellett was also misinformed
about the character of the bill. He
states that it was designed to
make the railroads a law unto
themselves" He says in effect that
the bill is designed to exempt rail-
roads from prosecution under the
antitrust laws. This is simply not
true. The bill is designed to recon-
clle and harmonic two great pol
icies of Congress-the policy of the
antitrust laws and the national
transportation policy as declared in
the Interstate Commerce Act. For
many purposes the railroads of the
country form single system. A
large measure of collective action
is necessary in order that they may
render efficient and economical serv-
ice and initiate just and nondis-
criminatory rates. This is univer-
sally recognized by all shippers,
governmental authorities charged
with duties concerning transporta-
tion and all students of transporta-
ton. The question then is simply
what collective action should be per-
missible and what should not. The

Shaw Discusses Housing
With Veteran Groups

Local chairmen of veterans Or
ganizations met yesterday in a
closed meeting with Markley Shaw,
Washington area expediter for the

veterans housing problems
Mr.. Shaw said before the meet
ing that the group would not func-
ton as an Official council" but that
he hoped it would meet in frequent
informal sessions. Because of its
nature, the MIA expediter said, the
group will not publicize its consid-
erations.

purpose of the bill is to make this
clear and to avoid the confusion and
uncertainty which now exists.
The bill has no effect whatever
on any agreements by common car
riers except such agreements which
are approved by the Interstate Com
merce Commission after full hear
ing and after that commission has
found that:
"The object of the agreement is
appropriate for the proper perform
ance by the carriers of service to
the public, that the agreement will
not unduly restrain competition,
and that it is consistent with the
public interest as declared by Con-
gress in the national transportation
policy set forth in this act;
The antitrust laws apply with un-
diminished force to the carriers
except with respect to agreements
of the kind above described. 1t

Nine Under indictment
In 0PA Auto Cases
Plead Not Guilty

Nine persons under indictment on
charges Of selling used automobiles
at above-ceiling prices and of other
alleged OPA violations pleaded not
guilty at formal arraignment before
District Court Justice James w.
Morris late yesterday.
They were granted 80 days in
which to file motions. No date was
set for trial.
Those pleading were:
Robert F. Cook, described as own
er of the Cook Motor Co., 1900 block
of L street NV, named in a 49,
count indictment; William D. Grif-
fifth, described as owner of the Circle
Motors, 2400 block Pennsylvania
avenue NV, and Thomas ]. Griffin,
manager, named in a 19-count in
dictment; Hyman Heft, described
as a partner in the Arvin Motors,
300 block Florida avenue NE. and
Elmer V. Keefe and Jacob Hoffman,
salesman, who were named in a 12-
count indictment.
Also Edward Solitar, described as
a partner in separate indictment
which named Heft and Keefe, who
was charged with one over-ceiling
sale: Solomon A. Simmons, said to
be owner of the Simmons Motors,
1900 block Fourteenth street NV,
and David Glassman, described as
manager, both named on six counts.
The indictments were the out
growth of an extensive investigation
by the OPA. A number of the per-
sons allegedly overcharged were said
to be war veterans. OPA Enforce
ment Attorney j. Grahame Walker
had indicated that investigations of
alleged used car overcharges and
other OPA violations arising from
transactions in that field will be
continued.

that the bill, in its introduced form
merited close scrutiny by the Con-
gress, and made certain suggestions
and criticisms. One of these criti-
cisms has been met by an amend
ment to the bill The letter ended
with the following paragraph:
For the reasons outlined herein !
Go not favor passage of the bill in its
present form. I say this in full
recognition, of course. of the fact
that the proposed legislation pre-
sents important questions OF public
policy Which only the Congress
should decide italics supplied.)
Gov. Ellis Arnall of Georgia
while the hearings were in progress
addressed telegram to the COM
mittee expressing opposition to the
bill tsee p. 379 of the hearings)
but he did not appear as a witness
Following the receipt of the tele-
gram. in which he requested an
opportunity to testify, the clerk, un-
der instructions Of the committee,
on October Is notified him he would
be heard on October %. On Octo-
ber II Gov. Arnall notified the
clerk he could not appear on Octo-
Der %, due to official business in
Georgia, and asked if he could be
heard during the month of No
vember.' On October 18 the clerk,
under instructions of the commit
tee, notified him that the commit
tee expected to close the hearings
on October %. Gov. Arnall by tele-
gram October 18 expressed his re-
gret that he would not have op-
portunity to testify and asked that
his telegram of protest be inserted
in the record Of the hearing"
Not One Shipper Opposed.
There are literally tens of thou
sands of shippers In the United
States and not one appeared and
testified against the bill. On the
contrary, spokesmen for shippers
vigorously urged the passage Of the
bill. The Interstate Commerce
Commission is charged with the ac-
complishment of the national trans
portation policy and in each Of the
States there is a commission charged
with the regulation Of intrastate
commerce. Not one of these COM
missions appeared against the bill
and virtually all OF them appeared
in favor of it. Can it be imagined
that the shippers of this country
are so blind to their interests that
they would actively support legisla-
ton unless they were convinced that
it was wise and necessary legislation? ?
And who would be in better posi-
tion to judge?
Mr.. Mellet is equally misinformed
about the nature of the hearings
before the Senate committee in that
he seems to think that the testimony
was confined to the Governor of
Georgia. spokesmen for the Justice
Department and "a long array of
railroad attorneys" AS a matter of
fact. the principal testimony pre-
sented before the Senate committee

shall be transformed into a pat
tern satisfactory to everybody con-
cerned, including, presumably, tht
japanese.
Rendering Japan harmless shoule
not take more than year or so
But Transforming her into the com.
posite ideal of all the Allied Nations
that is real undertaking. At.
tempting it seems a little fantastic
Only the Beginning.
The point was illustrated rather
sharply this week when the Rus.
sian member of the Allied Council
submitted his ideas concerning labor
legislation He Immediately founc
himself in wrangle with the
American member, George Atche-
son, jr. The Russian proposals, saiC
Atcheson, bore the familiar sign
marks of Communist propaganda.
The British member came to the
defense of the Russian, saying he
couldn't find any sign of propa-
ganda in the latter's suggestions
designed to protect japanese work
ers and further their welfare. But
Mr.. Atcheson may not have been
too far OF the mark, his point being
that many of the Soviet proposals
already have been put into effect
in Japan and that the Russian was
merely seeking to obtain credit for
them. Mr.. Atcheson asked whether
a similar program was being carried
out in Russia. He really got rough
and the Russian member wasn't
wholly polite in reply. The British
peacemaker had his work cut out
for him.
And this is only the beginning
the first of the 100 years!
The Allies quarreling in Japan
over what constitutes propaganda
is actually only cover for more
basic quarrel, i. e., what constitutes
democracy. The Russian is in there
pitching for what he would call
communist democracy; the Amer
lean for capitalist democracy
Neither is willing to admit that what
the other wants is democracy at all.
And each apparently is afraid that
the Japanese may be unduly i'm
pressed by the others goods.
Rights" of Jap Labor.
Already, largely because of Amer
ican pressure, japanese labor has
on paper-about all the rights pos
sessed by American labor, including
some that American labor still has
to fight to retain. To these the
Russians would add the right of the
workers to take over and run a closed
plant, a fortnight'S annual vacation,
II days pregnancy leave, months
pay on dismissal without notice and
a few other things.
This international competition in
what our conservatives would call
the coddling of labor must have a
strange look to a sizeable section of
the United States Congress.
We. meaning all the Allies, are
off on the wrong foot in Japan, but
it is not too late to start over. We
should be planning to get out of
that busted country just as soon as

its war potential is destroyed. and
we should confine our attention
thenceforward solely to seeing that
its ability to make war is not re-
