On Women S Coats, Suits
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

NEW YORK. Aug. l4.-Women's
coat and suit manufacturers are
requesting price increases on all
garments in the popular price
brackets. trade sources said today
The increases, which follow SIM
liar action by many dress pro-
ducers, were said to be based on
rising piece goods prices for lin
ngs.
Manufacturers said that while
higher lining costs can be absorbed
IN more expensive garments, they
account for too large a percentage
OF cost in cheaper coast and suits.

Following is the tert OF COM
munications betWeen President
Truman and James F. Byrnes on
the lotter's resignation as Secre-
tary OF State:
BYRNES' LETTERS.
April l6, 1916.
Dear Mr.. President:
AS you know, on April l, l945,
retired as director Of the Office o.
War Mobilization. I thought I hae
earned the right to take a rest ane
do some of the things I had long
wanted to do, but could not do be-
cause of my public service.
Shortly thereafter, President
Roosevelt died and the responsi.
bilities of the presidency were sud-
denly thrust upon you. Because o1
our intimate friendship, I Offered
my services to you. You told me
you we're going to appoint me Secre-
tary of State and did so last July 3
With the cessation of hostilities
the problems of the peace neces-
sarily became more important. Since
that time they have steadily in
creased in number and Importance
have found 1t necessary to work
long hours, six, and at times, seven
days a week.
Last week I had a medical ex-
animation. I was advised that ]
must SLOW down." I know myself
I cannot slow down as long as
hold public Office, particularly the
office of Secretary of State. The
only way can comply with the ad-
vice of the doctor is to resign. There
fore, am rendering my resignation
to take effect July l.
I. select that date because there
is a meeting of the Council OF
Foreign Ministers in Paris next
week, to be followed by peace con-
ference, and it is impossible to tell
how long those conferences will
continue. I think 1t my duty to
attend those meetings. Again. by
fixing July /, you will have time In
which to select my successor.
Some weeks ago some newspapers
published a story that I had re-
signed and you had selected my sue
cessor. You stated it was untrue. 1t
certainly was untrue because we
had never discussed the subject. ]
presume these newspapers now will
state that their story was true, but
II cannot be deferred from doing
what I believe to be right simply
because it may give the appearance
of truth to that which Is false.
In resigning, I wish to say thai
since I became Secretary of State
you have given me your whole
hearted support. When i think oi
the controversial character of the
problems that have confronted us
it is rather remarkable that VIZ
have never failed to agree as tt
foreign policy.
Recently, have been made happ.
by the increasing evidence tina
the people recognize and appreci
ate the skill and courage with which
you are performing your duties.
know what terrible task it is ant
I know, too, how much you deserve
that appreciation.
I want to assure you that as {
private citizen I shall give to yo,
my hearty support-not only be-
cause of my sincere affection fol
you personally, but because OF my
honest belief that your splendie
administration of the Office of Pres.
ident deserves that support.
Sincerely yours,
JAMES F.. BYRNES.
December 19, 1916.
Dear Mr.. President:
On April 16 I submitted to you
nv resignation to take effect July

TRUMAN'S REPLY.
January r, 1947,

.
My dear Jim:
I have weighed carefully the con-
siderations set forth in your letter
of December 10, 1916, and in your
letter of April 16, 1916, each en-
phasizipg your desire to retire from
the Office of Secretary of State. Be-
cause know how vital these con-
siderations are, must accede to
your desire. >~tt&
8 I accept, therefore, with great re-
luctance and heartfelt regret, your
resignation effective at the close OF
business of January 10, 1947, or upon
the qualification of your successor.
realize full well how arduous
and complex have been the prob
lens which have fallen to you since
you took Office in July, 1945. Big
events were then impending and
the months that have ensued have
presented problems of the utmost
moment, with all of which you have
dealt with rare tact and judgment
and-when necessary-flrmness ano
tenacity of purpose.
Yours has been a steadying han6
as you have met the difficult prob
lens which have arisen with sucF
unvarying succession.
For all that you did during thu
war, and in the, making of thu
peace, you have earned the thank:
of the Nation. So I say: Well done
in the hope that we can continue tt
call upon you for the counsel which
you can give out of so rich ane
varied an experience.
With every good wish
i Very sincerely yours,
! HARRY S. TRUMAN.

ABC Weighs Protest
I0n Y Street License

The Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board yesterday heard a protest
from the Gage School Parent
Teachers Association against the re-
issuance of a license to sell beer and
wine at 1873 v street NV.
Mrs. C. H. Bennett, 1904 First
street NV, president of the PTA
said that. although the store has
been selling wine and beer for sew
eral years, it was not brought to
their attention until recently when
the notice was nailed on the door OF
the store that the applicant had
applied for renewal
The protests were based on the
fact the store also sold candies and
cakes to school children. The Rev,
Edward SeXsmith, pastor of the
Rhode Island Avenue Methodist
Church also objected to the renewal
of the license.
The hearing was continued until
January 16.
The board yesterday also heard a
complaint against Jacob Aaronson,
proprietor of a package store at 1911
Pennsylvania avenue NV. Police
man Phillip Wagner, of the No. 8
Precinct, testified he saw drunken
man come out of the store carrying
a bottle of liquor
Mr.. Aaronson told the board the
man had purchased the liquor some
time before and had returned to
the store with some empty bottles
and that on his second trip he did
not buy any liquor. The board took
the case under Amusement
Evening star., 1947-01-08

until they were finally agreed upon
Now that we have reached complete
agreement and the treaties are
scheduled TO be signed February 10
I should like to be relieved.
I think it important that the
change should be made at this time
We have scheduled for March 10 the
meeting at Moscow, where work will
be started upon the German treaty
and the Austrian peace settlement.
That work will continue for many
months and the Secretary who I'M
dertakes the task should be in office
sufficiently far in advance of the
conference to familiarize himself
with the problems.
Therefore, I ask that my resigna-
ton become effective January 10 or
as soon thereafter as my successor
is appointed and qualified. I fixed
that date because the Senate will
then be in session and the nomina-
ton of my successor can be sent to
the Senate simultaneously with the
announcement of my resignation.
I repeat what I said in my letter
last April, that no man serving as
Secretary of State could ask or re-
ceive greater support and encour-
agement than you have given me.
Sincerely yours,
JAMES F. BYRNES.

Attorney Shapiro Win!
Legal Victory in Suit
For Army Back Pay

Sidney Shapiro, an attorney of
Bridgeport, Conn, whose court
martial conviction and dismissal
as an Army second lieutenant be-
came cause celebre which ended
in presidential pardon. has won
legal victory in his suit before
the Court of Claims for back pay
The Government had opposed the
claim on the ground that since the
Court of Claims cannot review a
court-martial proceedings, there
was no ground for action.
Judge Samuel E. Whitaker, in the
ajority opinion delivered Monday
and concurred in by Judges j. War
rem Madden, Marvin Jones and
Benjamin H. Littleton, said of the
Shapiro case:
"A more fragrant case of mill
tary despotism would be hard to
imagine. Tt was a verdict Of a
supposedly impartial judicial tri-
bunal; but it was evidently rem
dered in spite against a junior Of
f1cer who had dared to demonstrate
the fallability of his superior officers
on the court-who had, indeed,
made them look ridiculous. 1t was
case of almost complete denial
of the plaintiffs constitutions!
rights. 1t brings great discredit
upon the administration of military
justice. The demurrer is over
ruled"
Dissenting Opinion.
Chief Justice Richard S. Whaley
wrote a dissenting opinion holding
that "the Court Of Claims has no
