Laraine Day Wins Fight
To DisquaIify Judge
BY the AssocioteokPress

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 19.-In the
opinion of one jurist, a colleague
who instituted a move to set aside
Actress Laraine Days divorce is too
prejudiced to hear the matter, but
his disqualification is mo disgrace. u
Thus Superior Judge George A.
Dockweiler was barred today from
hearing an order to show cause
why his original decree-which a
month ago legally parted Miss Day
and ]. Ray Hendricks, airport man
ager-should not be vacated
Superior Judge Edward T. Bis
hop, appointed to hear Miss Days
charge of prejudice against Dock
weller, observed that she probably
could not obtain a fair and i'm
partial trial before him, but added:
There is no disgrace in the find
ing that judge is legally disqualified
to try a particular case. There are
many situations in this world that
need bettering, but most Of us are
waiting for George to do something
about it.
when George becomes aroused
and does something, it is to his
credit, but if George is also a judge,
while credit is still due him, his
leadership in the crusade may well
cause him to become disqualified as
a judge with reference to questions
arising out of the crusade"

Roosevelt High School has the

At least, they proved themselves

The Roosevelt victory was popu-

the corps, led her platoon through
a fast-moving series of movements.
Her forcefully delivered commands
were executed with snap by the

for girl cadets, and Triple the

The six entries demonstrated that
the most complicated manner OF
getting from one place to the other
on foot made the best show.
The girls wore white shirts or
blouses with stiff collars, blue or
black skirts, white bobby socks and
moccasin-type shoes.
Cadet 1t. Stavrakas and the other
platoon commanders wore uniforms
of gray set off by military caps and
gold braid.
1t. Stavrakas, who lives at 1920

Future chances for the American
Veterans Committee to testify on
veterans legislation before the
House Committee on Veterans At
fairs appeared slim today.
Charles G. Bolte, AVG national
chairman, was denied appearance
yesterday when the committee, in
executive session, voted Is to to bar
the group. Mr.. Bolte said he few
from New York yesterday morning
at the request of Chairman Edith
Nourse Rogers.
AVG was barred by resolution
introduced by Representative O'Kon-
ski, Republican, of Wisconsin that
said testimony before the commit
tee shall be limited to those organ
izations which have exclusively ac-
tive participating veterans of Amer
lean wars"
AVG, which has a membership of
about 10000, has enrolled about 400
former merchant marine members,
according to Mr.. Bolte. In fact, Mr..
Bolte himself would be ineligible to
testify under the resolution. Before
this country went to war, the youth
full leader fought with the British in
the African campaign, and lost leg
at Ell Alamein.
The unusual resolution also will
bar numerous other veterans groups
from appearing before the commit
tee if it is continued. One such
group Is the Regular Veterans As
Sociation. unit of former members
of the Regular Army, which fire.
quently has testified before the COM
mittee in the past.
At press conference late yester-
day, Mr.. Bolte charged the reso-
luton was passed because AVG
views do not agree with those of
Representative Rankin of Missis-
sippi, ranking minority member of
the committee.
The AVG leader said Mr.. Rankin
was incensed because of AVC's in
dorSement of antilynching and anti
poll tax legislation, and he added /:
John Rankin is no friend of the
veteran. While he was chairman
of the House Veterans Committee
he attempted to run the commit
tee on dictatorial basis, in which
John Rankin alone decided what
was best for the veterans"
In answer to a question, Mr. Bolte
told reporters he thought there
would have been little or no op-
position to AVG testimony if Mr..
Rankin had not been member OF
the group
Rankin denied us chance to
testify last year on grounds that
we were not recognized by the, Vet
erans' Administration. But that
wouldn't hold up this year" Mr..
Bolte declared.

Rent Officials Studying AVG Chance Seen Slim
Builders Request for To Testify on House
Loans From Veterans Veterans Legislation
District Rent Control officials to-

District Rent Control officials to-
day were seeking a conference to
discuss rental terms with a local
builder who is asking $1,000 loans
from prospective veteran tenants
to help complete an apartment
house at 23O0 Connecticut ave-
nue. NV.
c. T. Hudgings, general counsel
to the rent administrator, said he
had written a letter to the builder,
Louis A. Montague, asking him to
file application for rent ceilings if
he is offering apartments for rent.
Mr.. Montague had advertised last
week end offering to reserve apart
ments for veterans in the building
which he hopes will be ready for
occupancy this September. Appli-
cants were asked to make him a
$1,000 cash loan at 5 per cent as
g condition for the reservation, al
though this was not stated in the
advertisement.
The project was authorized under
the veterans housing program May
II, ]946, according to the insuring
office of the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration. James Hewitt, insur-
ing officer for the District FHA
office, said this meant holding the
accommodate tions for veterans during
construction and for 80 days there
after.
Rentals Set by FHA.
While he insisted he could not
pass on the legal questions involved,
Mr.. Hewitt added he felt it was not
the intent of the program to have
"other strings attached" to the res
ervation for veterans use.
He explained that under the pro-
gram FILA estimated the cost and
set rentals which were forwarded to
the rent control agency in the loca-
ton of the project. Rent agencies,
he added, could change the rentals
if they saw fit.
Mr.. Hudgins said, however, that
the District Rent Control Office had
nothing in its files on the Montague
Apartment house.
Mr.. Hudgins said also that once a
maximum rent ceiling is fixed, Dis
trict law permits collection of only
the amount of one months rent in
advance.
80 Per Cent Complete.
The Better Business Bureau said
| it was advising veterans to scrutinize
carefully the loan contract. A
bureau spokesman said the note was
nothing more" than an unsecured
and -assignable promise to pay.
Mr.. Montague, who lives at 1910
New Hampshire avenue NV, said
yesterday he needed the money,
$1,000 from at least 100 veterans, to
insure completion of the project
which now is about 80 per cent
complete.
While the loan sought would be a
personal one, Mr.. Montague said
the prospective tenants would be
protected by his own investment in
the apartment building, by other
property he owns and by an $500, 900
loan from an insurance company.
He contended that the required
loan for a place on the reservation
list is not out of proportion to the
cash deposit asked of any one for
whom a home is to be built.
The Veterans Administration
however, said it would not authorize
GI loans for the purpose.

Segregation Of Voter!
Ordered in GEORGIA
By Thompson Forces
by the Asseeioisd Press

ATLANTA. Sept. pa 1913 Dem
ocratic primary in Georgia is set for
July IA under the aegis Of Gov. M
e. Thompson's political forces with
complete" segregation Of white and
colored voters at the polls.
This action was taken yesterday
by the Rules Committee OF the
Thompson party Executive Commit
tee. which more or less ignored a
court attack on its authority by the
Herman Talmadge faction.
The committee promulgated no
new education requirement for
voting. It did call attention, though,
to constitutional provision that all
who seek to vote must be able to
read or copy the Constitution to the
satisfaction OF election registrars.
Bid Issued TO Boilers.
Gov. Thompson vetoed Talmadge-
sponsored white primary" legis-
lation last spring.
The Thompson committee yester-
day also issued a direct invitation
to "any person who has bolted the
party" to return to its fold. This
obviously was a dig at Mr.. Tai
madge and associates whom Thomp-
son adherents have accused OF
boiling" in a write-in campaign
for Governor last year.
All candidates in the primary
would be required to pledge to
abide by its results and support
the nominees in the general cleo
ton. The committee also pointed
to IAN inflexible rule of the Demo-
cratic Party in Georgia" barring
any participant in any other pri-
mary from the party's election.
No Official Note Of Suit.
The committee took no Official
note Of the court suit against its
authority, but William S. Morris,
Augusta publisher, chairman of the
Thompson Executive Committee
named the attorneys who will rep
resent him.
The battery is topped by former
Gov. K. D. Rivers, Democratic ma
tional committeeman.
The suit, brought by James 8.
Peters, Talmadge Democratic State
chairman, is set for a hearing at
