Freeman Asks Court
To Return Documents

Joseph r. Freeman, twice indicted
Washington representative Of the
Carson wartime munitions empire
yesterday filed a motion in District
Court through counsel asking re-
turn of documents and records,
which, he charges, were illegally
seized last year at his Thomas Circle
Office.
Filed through Attorney Austin F.
Garfield, the motion contends the
records, pertaining to the Carson
concerns, were seized by investiga-
tors without a search warrant. It
also charges that an employe Of
Freeman's was misled in being made
to believe the investigators had a
subpoena emitting them to make
the search.
The motion maintains Freeman
needs the documents to prepare a
defense on the charge of conspiracy
to defraud the Government on
which he was indicted in January
with three others.
The others named on the con-
spiracy indictment are former Rep
resentative Andrew J. May Of Ken
lucky, Henry M. Carson, who has
been described as the brains" Of the
Carson wartime munitions empire,
and Murray Carson. Trial on the
conspiracy charge is set for April
81. Meanwhile, motions to dismiss
the conspiracy indictment still are
under advisement.
On March 20, Freeman and Henry
M. Carson were indicted on perjury
charges. On March 81 the two were
given IS days by Chief Justice
Bolitha j. Laws on which to file

McNutt, in India, Says
Philippines Supports
American Privileges
By Phillips Tolbot
Foreign Correspondent Of The stor and
the Chicago Daily News


NEW DELHI, India, Mar. 29.-Do
Americans have imperialistic ideas
In the Philippines? Is their policy
resented by Filipinos?
Although some Indian circles ap-
parently believe so, this is an "un-
believable distortion of the truth" "
Paul v. McNutt, American Ambas-
sador to the young Philippine Re-
public, told the press at conference
here yesterday.
The retiring Ambassador is visit
ing India during his global trip
home from Manila.
after finishing my present job," j"
MIR. McNutt said, II shall have dis
charged my last diplomatic assign
ment and my last public Office"
Seeks to Influence Indians.
Mr.. McNutt, who has seen Java
harlal Nehru and other leaders, Is
seeking to persuade the Indians that
Philippine independence is not
merely cover for Yankee dollar
diplomacy.
Reciting the financial aid and
trade benefits granted by the United
States to the war-torn former COM
monwealth, the Ambassador de
clared that the 99-year cession Of six
Army and Navy bases to the United
States has gained unanimous ap-
proval of the Philippine Congress
and press.
Mr.. McNutt also referred to 8to-1
approval, in the national plebiscite,
for giving American citizens special
economic rights equivalent with
those of Filipinos.
Aid Conditional to Rights.
It was true, he said, in reply to a
question, that American aid has
been made conditional on giving
these rights. But, he asserted they
could have been refused.
What sort of press the Ambassador
will receive in India remains to be
seen. ~
1t is true that some Indian ma
tionals have questioned the idealism
of American policy in the Philip
pines. These generally are the same
elements who sometimes express fear
that dying political imperialism will
be replaced throughout the colonial
world by modern highly organized
dollar imperialism.

Consumer Resistance Cuts
Cotton Textile Trade
By the Associoted Pres.

NEW YORK. Mar. 22.-Reports of
consumer resistance to goods at the
retail level had a dampening effect
on buyer interest for fourth quarter
deliveries in the cotton textile mar
ket during the past week.
Demand for the popular print
cloth and sheeting types for the final
quarter Of the year slackened con-
siderably although quarter
sales were negotiated readily.
The market generally was quiet
and mills were selling less actively
pending a reappraisal of market
developments. Further switching OF
looms from duck cloth to prints was
reported.
The wool goods market was Arm.
Buyers were anxious to get more
worsteds for fall, but the supply Ia
still short and mills made few allot-
ments. Many houses were not ready
to announce prices, which generally
are moving ahead 10 to Is per cent.
In rayon, buyers were unable to
get as much goods as they wanted.
Prints and crepes were In good

By Victor Eubunk
.oein,.d Pres. financial Writer

NEW YORK, Mar. 22.-The stock
market today concluded its first re-
coFery week since early February
although the slowest in about two
years, with irregularly higher tend
encies persisting.
Professional buying and short
covering throughout the six sessions
was based mainly on the idea that
five successive losing weeks called
for a technical revival. Action OF
the House on tax relief also was
helpful and batch of good earn
ings statements provided prop.
Most brokerage customers, how
ever, held aloof because of bearish-
ness over wage-price situations,
foreign complications, gyrating COM
modities and business trends.
Advances Predominant.
Dealings were sluggish from the
start of the final session but sd-
vances predop,inated at the close.
Transfers of $4,000 shares were
low since March and compared
with 10000 last Saturday. The
weeks turnover of 3,73S,860 shares
was the smallest since the period
ended April 7, 1945. The total last
week was 4,808,150.
Airlines enjoyed mild furry to-
day following tie granting of a.
passenger fare boost by the CAB.

Along the Potomac
to Washington

While visitors by the thousands are
enjoying the Cherry Blossoms in
Washington, Congress is rounding out
three months of continuous work on
labor legislation.
Since January the Labor and Edu-
cation Committee of the House Of
Representatives has held more than
thirty hearings and has taken 5000
pages Of testimony from $50 wit
nesses. On the other side of the
Capitol, the Senate Labor and Public
Welfare Committee held twenty
seven hearings and from 100 wit
nesses took more than $500 pages of
testimony.
These Committees were concerned
with two important Federal Labor
Laws.
The first is the National Labor Re
lations Act of 1885, often referred to
as the Wagner Act, which guarantees
abor's rights to organize and bargain
collectively, and provides for the set
ting up of a National Labor Relations
Board to certify bargaining units and
enforce provisions against "Unfair
Labor Practices" by employers.
The second one is the Norris-La-
Guardia Act of 1882, which forbids in
functions in private labor disputes but
permits them (under recent Supreme
Courts ruling) where the Government
is a party to the dispute.
The House has a Bill ready to be
presented probably this week. The
Senate has Labor legislation in mind
which isn't quite 50 drastic as that in
the House. Nevertheless. both would
thoroughly rewrite Federal Labor
Policy.
Here are the main provisions the
two bills have in common. You might
think these over and let me know
what you think of them.
Both outlaw the closed shop. Both
authorize 75-day Federal injunctions
against strikes deemed harmful to the
public health, safety or welfare" >"
Jurisdictional strikes and boycotts
would be outlawcd by both Houses
Under these bills foremen would be
banned from collective bargaining.
The main difference between the
bills are these: The House would per-
nit employers to refuse bargaining on
the union shop; unions would be sub
.ject to damage suits under the anti
trust act for "unfair labor practices;
the House measure would abolish the
NRLB and replace it with three
separate agencies for administration,
prosecution of unfair labor practices

Spraying Helps
Home Fruit
Production

Home gardeners can do much to
improve the products from their fruit
paintings by doing a thorough job Of
spraying for the control of insects
and diseases. says \. F. Vierhellel.
Extension Horticultulist at the Uni
versity of Maryland.
at is difficult, he says, "to simpli-
fly the spray program. However,
there are certain sprays which are
most essential for insect and disease
control. The first Of these is called
the dormant spray, and should have
been put on before this time. The
next applications are timed by the
blossom stages, and are called the
pink" and the petal fall" The fol-
lowing sprays are called cover sprays
and are put on at about two weeks
intervals, varying with weather con-
ditions and the infestations of disease
and insects"
The horticulturist explained that
.he whole spraying procedure may
be somewhat simpiified if the home
gardener will use a super-fme sulfur
such as a wetable sulfur, microfine
or flotaton sulfur, together with lead
arsenate and lime. If coddImg moth
is present on the apple OF ii oriental
Beetles on any fruits, DDT can be
added to some Of the cover sprays.
V.erheller stated that the Uort-
culture Department has leaflet
prepared especially for people spray
ing small quantities Of fruit. This
can be had through the County
Agents OF by writing the Horticulture
Department..
