Police Chase in Traffic
Costs Driver $50 in Fines

A car chase through homecom-
ing Labor Day crowds resulted
in $50 in fines for salesman
charged with speeding and passing
five red lights.
The defendant, Edward L. Stro-
hecker, jr, %, of the 5000 block of
Wisconsin avenue NV, was brought
into Traffic Court by Park Police
man T. G. Huddleston, who told
the court the chase started at
Seventh street and Pennsylvania
avenue NV.
Pvt. Huddleston added he was
unable to oyertake Strohecker until
the 40-mile-an-hour race reached
Seventeenth street and Constitu-
ton avenue NV. All but one of the
violations occurred on that street
at about 3 am. Tuesday when in
coming traffic was heavy, police re-
ported.
Mr.. Strohecker denied he was
speeding. He pleaded guilty to only
one of the six charges, that Of pass
ing a red light at Seventh street
and Pennsylvania avenue NV.

however, the Senator's words, In
effect were as follows:
When he finishes his present term
he will have served the people OF
virginia for more than one-third
of q century: in fact, 1t has been 36
wears since he first was elected to
the State Senate.
His listeners were told they could
understand with what pleasure he
looked forward to taking his place
among them again. But, he added,
as long as anything threatened the
State government he would remain
with the people on the firing llIie.
The wording of the last state
usnt, observers believe, leaves the
way open for Senator Byrd, a
staunch advocate of economy in
Government and q critic of the
New Deal, to run again If he feels
he ts needed.
One political figure who was a
suest at the picnic gave this version
Of the talk:
Shortly after the Senator greeted
his guests and before he asked for
an end of appeasement Of Russia, he
commented on his future plans as
outlined above. At this juncture the
listener was hailed by good-na-
tured shout from fellow Democrat.

Since the Independence, named

on all sides when he arrived.
Few believe that if the Senator
retires from Congress it would mark
the end of the Byrd political Or

civil antitrust suit against the two

He was a big man before he made
his speech, but when he had fin
ished 1t he was bigger the paper
asserted.
There were no outright suggestions
that Mr.. Bevin should succeed Prime
Minister Attlee as head Of the gov
ernment, but there were several
strong implications in that direction.
The liberal News Chronicle re-
ported that "it was painfully obvious
to the delegates Ito the Trades Un-
ion Congress-where Mr.. Bevin
made his gold suggestion yesterday
that Mr. Bevin is the only man big
enough to grapple with the sltua-

THE Justice Department" he said,
lis attempting to show that recon-
mended fair charges for the services
Of real estate brokers is responsible
for today's housing costs. Actually,
the brokers' commission Is derived
from the proceeds of a sale. Recon-
mended schedules of fair charges act

fair sale"
Mr.. Nelson defended the practice
of local real estate boards in recon-
mending fair charges for services of
real estate agents. He denied such
rates are dictated. Real estate
brokers frequently charge lower fees
than the suggested schedules, he
said.
THE association has never heard
Of disciplinary action against a
realtor for charging less for his
services than the recommended fair
charge. nor has the Justice Depart
ment," Mr.. Nelson declared. THE
indictment obtained by the depart
ment does not cite a single instance
Of that kind. The acts alleged to be
conspiracy are simply words.
Local boards have resorted to
disciplinary action, even expulsion
from board membership, for viola
tions of professional ethical stand
ards set up in the code. They have
never, to the knowledge of NAREB
officers, taken disciplinary action
against members for deviating from
the recommended rates of commits
sion. Thus, realtors are accused of
unlawful conspiracy not because of
what anybody has done, but because
Of rhetoric into which the Justice
Department chooses to read con-
spiratory intent
The real estate practice of recon-
mending charges for services Is the
same as that of achitects, lawyers,
doctors, insurance. statesmen and
commission brokers, Mr.. Nelson said.
This amounts to selling personal
services and not commodities, and is
not affected by the antitrust laws,
he said.
Building Probe to Start Soon.
Meanwhile, Justice Department
officials indicated an early start of
a District grand jury investigation
OF the general building industry in
this area. The real estate investi-
cation which resulted in the indict-
ment Of the national association
and the Washington board, was the
first phase of a considerably broader
inquiry into the general housing
industry.
Mr.. Kramer said he did not know
when this broader investigation
would begin, but he added that he
has been assigned to it and that
early action can be expected.
In another move in connection
with its investigation of food, cloth
ing and housing costs, the Justice
Department disclosed that an in
quiry has been started by special
grand jury in Chicago to examine
prices in the distribution of con-
sumers' goods in the Chicago area.
The principal point of investigation,
they said, will be food prices. The
Federal grand jury was called into
session yesterday at Chicago by
United States District Judge Fred
Barnes. At the time, it was not Of
ficially revealed that this jury's
activity will be part Of the Justice

6 Marine Fugiiives Taken
After 2O-Minufe Gun Fiqht
BY the Asseeiotsd Press


SAN ONOFRE, Calf. Sept. A.
Six escaped Marine Corps prisoners,
armed with two carbines. were cor
nered In heavy brush on beach
near here early today and captured
after 20 minutes of gunplay, the
State highway patrol reported.
Highway Patrolman AL Bisgard,
who was at the scene. said he be-
lieved one prisoner was wounded.
He said he did not know If the
prisoners, who escaped from Camp
Pendleton yesterday in q stolen
truck, returned the fire Of law en-
forcement officers and military
police.
Mr.. Bisgard said the escaped men
were sighted walking down the
beach by members Of Marine
beach patrol. When an order to
halt was shouted, the six scurried
into brush at the foot of bluff.
Mr.. Bisgard estimated that some 40
officers were at the scene. He said
officers fired shots into the brush
from the top Of the cliff to force
the prisoners out and capture them.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 4.-Secre-

Returning from a Hawaiian va
cation, Mr. Anderson disclaimed
knowledge of reports he might be-
come national chairman If Robert
E. Hannegan resigned.
Mr.. Hannegan, who recently con-
ferred with President Truman, has
said he would quit either the chair
manship or the Postmaster Gen
erals position If his doctors di-
rected him to ease up.

These officials feel that the COM
mitments involved are 50 vast that
Congress and the American public
should have a full opportunity to
debate the merits and the meaning
of the prospective program.
Emergency Fund Suggested.
An alternative to hurry-up ac-
tion on the Marshall plan itself
might be to seek some kind of
emergency fund to tide the econ
omies of the most hard-pressed
countries over the critical gap be-
tween the exhaustion Of their own
resources and the effective date of
the mutual help program. One re-
port which the State Department
was not denied is that Undersecre-
tary Clayton, now in Paris, has
recommended the appropriation Of
$4,000, 100000 as a stop-gap meas
ure.
Still third possibility which Mr.
Lovett discussed very generally at
his news conference is that the
World Bank and the American Ex-
port-Import Bank might be able to
make reconstruction loans which
would have the immediate effect
of releasing some dollars in borrow
ing countries. Mr.. Lovett, how
ever, did not appear too confident
of the success Of such measures.
In explaining why the European
countries appear to be faced with
an economic situation evenJworse
than had been anticipated, Mr..
Lovett said France has the worst
wheat crop since Napoleon's time
and that the potato crop Is also
very short. ,.<,.. ....,,..,,
The result, other officials said, is
that the Europeans have had to
spend much of their dollar resources
for non-productive purposes-that
is, for food and other necessities of
living instead of for industrial
equipment which would enable
them to restore their economies.
Kennan Due Back Soon.
Mr.. Kennan was due back from
Paris last night, but Mr.. Lovett re-
ported that he had been delayed by
weather. Officials expected that he
would arrive either today or TO-
On his return from Rio yesterday,
Gen. Marshall told reporters:
We've returned from what I
think was a highly successful con-
ference at which we reached agree
ment promptly without serious diff
ferences and with great deal of
good will and good feeling. I think
the results are of great Importance
not only to the Western Hemisphere
but to the world"
Gen. Marshall's satisfaction over
the treaty was echoed by Senator
who told newsmen:
I'VE have effectively succeeded in
re-establishing an enthusiastic pan
unity"
Senator Vandenberg declared the
conference has "set the world pat
tern" on how great and small ma
tions may live together in peaceful
harmony"
Warren Austin, chief American
representative on the United Ma
tions, said the pact marked "a long
step" ahead and showed the world
that "21 nations out of IS constitut-
ing the United Nations have found
it possible to agree" on the working
formula for peace.
In a statement analyzing the
hemisphere treaty, Mr.. Austin not
ed these points:
/. "It creates the obligation of
mutual assistance among the
American republic to prevent war
and promote peaceful relations.
2. "An armed attack upon one Is
an armed attack upon all, requiring
individual and collective defense"
