dance Studio Counsel
Agrees Hartley Law
Affords No Injunction

The Taft-Hartley Act gives no in
junctive relief against picketing
even in cases of secondary boycott,
opposing counsel arguing petition
for preliminary injunction against
the picketing of the Arthur Murray
Dance Studio. 1106 Connecticut
avenue, agreed today in District
Court.
At tfe conclusion of argument,
Justice Bolitha Laws indicated he
would decide tomorrow on contin-
uation of a temporary restraining
order which ended last weeks
lpicketing.
Justice Laws asked, near the con-
clusion of argument, if the issue
had not been narrowed down to
whether the Norris-La Guardia Act
or the protection of freedom Of
speech in the first amendment ap-
piled. Counsel agreed. The Taft
Hartley Act had been cited by coun-
sci for the studio in the initial
argument.
The injunction would restarin

on strike at the Arthur Murray New

Miss Forsyth and her companions,
Monica Keating, a brunette who
wore her hair in sharply-trimmed
bangs, and Veto de Gennero, also
teachers at Murray's New York
studios, sat in a front row of the
court.
Both girls. dressed in black. car
ried their picket placards which
their counsel offered to enter as
exhibits, but they INDUCED in no
conga line demonstration in the cor
ridors of the court during the long
wait for the case to get started.
On the other side of the aisle sat
Mrs. Gomez, her auburn hair piled
high in an intricate coiffure. She
was accompanied by her recently
married husband.
Mrs. Gomez's counsel. Stanley
Posner. opened the argument over
replacing a temporary restraining
order which stopped Miss Forsyth
and her companions from picketing
the dance establishment last week
with conga line.
He termed the picketing classic
instance of the secondary boycott" :"
He explained that on July 9 a
strike against the Murray Studios
in New York began and that the
teachers there are still on strike.
Mrs. Gomez's establishment is her
own, he said, and her only finan-
cial relation with Mr.. Murray is
a license agreement giving the
later small percentage of her
gross income" A copy of the agree
ment entered by Mr. Posner showed
this to be 7 per cent.
Due to 'the unusual respect
which is given in Washington to
picket lines" Mr.. Posner said, the
studios daily income is now below
the daily cost of operation.
The signs carried by the pickets.
he said, misled the public into
thinking Mrs. Gomez was involved
in a labor dispute with her own
employees which, he said. is not
the case.

Forsyth but not for the union which
is denying that it has been served,

sor Rogers. The petitions asked the
Holmes County Board to adopt the
resolution to issue the bonds to build
the 23-bed hospital.
Citizens of beat two plan to take
advantage Of the hospital bill passed
by the state legislature and also
Federal Funds, one-third each, to
build a hospital costing approx
mately 100000.
The hospital will be maintained
and supported by a tax levy on citi-
zens Of beat two and will not in any
way interfere with the present
countrywide maintenance levy Of
one mill paid by all Holmes citizens
to maintain the Community Hospi-
tai in Lexington.
Voters of beat two will continue
to pay the same county wide levy
as before for the Lexington hospital.
1t is estimated that the bonds, in
terest, etc. for the hospital will cost
about one and one-half mills, which
will be $3.50 for each thousand dol
lars assessed valuation.
The maintenance levy will be de-
termined by conditions governing
cost operation, the number of pat
tents handled by the hospital, etc.
It is estimated that maintenance of
a hospital costs about 1000. per bed
per year. The beat 2 hospital will be
a 23-bed hospital.

Senate Probers Claim
GSI Keeps Inadequate
Check on Concession.

Senate Civil Service Committee
investigators charged today that
Government Services, Inc, fails to
keep an adequate check on its sub
concession refreshment stand on the
Washington Monument Grounds.
GSI leases the stand to a private
concessionaire, and in return re-
ceives 20 per cent of the first 10 per
cent gross sales and Is per cent of
the gross intake after that amount,
the committee was told.
Frank w. Hoover, general man
ager of the non-profit corporation
which operates SO Federal cafeterias
here as well as numerous park con-
cessions, vigorously denied the
charge that GSI has been lax in
protecting its own interests.
1--WE employ outside checkers to
keep tab on the stands operation
from time to time, and our own
people frequently check up on 1t, :"
Mr.. Hoover declared.
An attempt by committee investi-
gators to show that GSI dealt with
too many agents in purchasing
equipment was rebuffed BY Chair
man Baldwin of the Senate Civil

Il The charge had been inside that
GSI had paid too many commits
sions to purchasing agents In buying
the items. 81
Mr.. Baldwin interrupted to say,
"It was difficult during the war to
get many needed items, and it
wasn't unusual to proceed through
half a dozen dealers in order to
get the things you needed. / see
nothing wrong In that"

GSI is now in its fifth month. with
no end in sight. Mr.. Baldwin,
however, said he will make every
effort to wind up the hearings
before Congress adjourns. Under
its contract GSI splits its profits
