not, however, back away from the
basic point that questions of foreign
policy should 60 through the Secre-
tary Of State.
Outside the hearing it was pre-.
dicted that any move to cut the
fund to $4,000, 100000 would prob
ably result in a final compromise

because there are no signs the Sem

D. {. Budget Sets $37,100.
As Inauguration Expenses

Whether the next President is .
Democrat or a Republican, his In
auguration will cost Washington
$37 100 "to maintain public order
during the inaugural ceremonies
according to the District budget
estimate.
The Inauguration item is included
in the Police Departments budget
to pay for travel expenses of en-
forcement officers from other juris-
dictions, meals for policemen, re-
moving and relocating streetcar
platforms and constructing comfort
and first aid stations and informa-
ton booths.
Congress generally appropriates a
Federal outlay for the inaugural
ceremonies too. A sum of $25 200
was appropriated for the last in
auguration as the Federal Govern
ment's share, but President Roose-
welt decreed an economy" inau-
guration for his fourth term at only
a fraction of what had been appro-
priated.'

Fields Denied Review
OF Contempt Conviction

The Supreme Court today refused
to review the case of Benjamin F.
Fields, self-styled promoter" who
was convicted in District Court last
February on a charge Of contempt
of Congress.
Fields was sentenced to 80 days in
jail and $3.50 fine when con icted
of refusing tc produce certain. rec
ords requested by House coma it
tee on surplus property. :. !
Today's action by the SupreL ,
Court in refusing Fields petition 70
a review of his conviction does not
mean that he will have to start
serving his sentence Immediately.
He has Is days to file a motion for
a rehearing by the Supreme Court.
His petition for a writ of certiorari
was filed last October after the
United States Court of Appeals here
upheld the District Court verdict.
Fields was indicted September 80,
1916, on charges of failing to pro-
duce financial records sought by the

Pickets Circle FWA Offices.
During the noon hour several
hundred pickets circled the entire
block occupied by the Federal Works
Administration, Eighteenth and F
streets NV, in a demonstration
against the refusal OF the agency
to act in the strike. .
The strikers and sympathizers
were urging Federal Works Admin
istrator Fleming to close the cafe
terias or to convene bargaining
session between the parties.
They carried such signs as Throw
GSI Out of Government Cafeterias, .

ernment Property" "Scabs are a
Health Menace" and Eat at Joe's
Instead" -.. 49,.
Its kitchens and dining rooms
manned by more than 1000 new
workers, GSI continued to serve
Government employees in 40 of the
cafeterias. Two, at the Labor De-

strike began.

More than 200 persons crowded

J. c.. Niehuss, personnel manager,
said the company could not hire any
more people. at this time. and was
only accepting applications.
On the union side, Palmer said he
had heard many favorable reports
over the week end and that an in
creasing number of workers were
refusing to cross the picket lines.
He said 1000 union members at
tended prayer services yesterday
at Shiloh Baptist Church to heal
the Rev. Earl L. Harrison preach
sermon entitled, IF You Break
the Hedge, a Serpent Shall Bite
You," an allusion to crossing picket
lines. ..s .... ...
AS the services drew to a close
the congregation stood outside the
church facing the White House
while Mr.. Harrison intoned a prayer
that President Truman's heart shall
be touched by the problems OF the
strikers and their families.
CIO President Philip Murray last
week urged President Truman to
convene company and union lead
ers in bargaining session, but SO

At the same time he hastened to
add:
II believe, however. that the au-

the program should be vested In q

separate administrator to direct dis

the direction and control of the
Secretary of State on matters of
foreign policy.
This machinery was criticized by
Republicans and Democrats alike

Dentist Wins Appeal
On $4,000 Award
For Faulty Plate

A $4,000 verdict returned last
January by a District Court jury IN
favor of Paul sternal, SO, against DR..
A.sP. Kasmer, dentist, Of 2755 Ma
comb street NV, on the contention
that a dental plate caused cancer
of the tongue was set aside today IN
the United States Court Of Appeals.
The appellate court held that the
trial Judge. Justice Jennings Bailey,
had incorrectly instructed the jury.
The appellate court said Justice
Bailey "was of the opinion that 1t
was a matter for the jury to decide
whether the defendants treatment
produced friction to such an extent
as to cause cancer Accordingly, he
instructed the jury to decide wheth-
er the cancer was caused by the de-
fendant's negligent treatment or
lack of proper treatment. And 1t is
this instruction which we think was
wrong" 1-
The Court of Appeals reversed
and remanded the case to District
Court for a new trial. Mr.. Sternal.
an accountant and former Govern
ment employe, who formerly lived
in the 3100 block of Adams Mill road
NV, now resides in Wisconsin.
Mr.. Sternal in his suit asserted
that a plate made by DR.. Kasmer
both caused and aggravated q
cancer Of the tongue. The Court Of
Appeals, in it's opinion. said Mr..
Sternal had suffered a, tongue pune
ture. by plate made by New York
dentist before he went to DR..
Kasmer.
DR.. Kasmer was represented in
the Court of Appeals by Attorney
David G. Bress who contended
there was no evidence to show that
plate made by DR.. Kasmer had
caused cancer. He also said that
DR.. Kasmer had not tried to treat
the lesion and claimed that Dr..
Kasmer suggested that Mr.. Sternal
go to a physician.
The Court of Appeals decision was
written by Chief Justice D.
Lawrence Groper. Justices e. Bar
rett Prettyman and Henry W.
Edgerton also heard the case.

drove Chief Murphy, accompanied
by Maj. James r. Lusby, District
disbursing officer, and Assessor Ed
ward A. Dent to the Chinatown
block in which the Joy Inn is To-
Gated in the early morning that day
The inn proprietor, George Moy
told Of a visit to his establishment
by two men, one of whom called him
q "Chinaman" and asked for whisky
He refused to identify Chief Murphy
positively as the man in question,
although he said the chief looked
something like him." ..
| Reminded of affidavits he made
earlier for the corporation counsel's
office, Mr.. Moy admitted he had
asked a policeman to make the men
leave because they were noisy. He
contradicted the affidavits, however.
in denying today that he had smelled
liquor on the man who looked like
Chief Murphy.
| Another witness this morning was
Battalion Chief Gilbert A. Cole, who
acknowledged an affidavit in which
he had charged that when he was
transferred in July, 1916, from No
9 to No. II Engine Co., Chief Murphy
told him he hoped No. II would be
kept in better order than No. 8,
which he described as a "pigpen."
Embarrassed, He Says.
Mr.. Cole said, in the affidavit, that
this remark embarrassed him be-
cause it was made before his SUBJ
ordinates and civilians. He told the
board today. however, that he could
ylot remember the exact language OF
circumstances of the incident.
Pvt. Cummins said that, wher
he was addressed by the chief, hs
was standing on a wing of tn,
! plane searching with a fashligh1
for the rest of his crew, from which
he had become separated. This, he
said, was approximately 80 minutes
after his company arrived at the
fire.
Pvt. Cummins said that after
getting off the wing, he attempted
to explain the circumstances to
Chief Murphy.
HE indicated he didn't want any
back talk by striking me on the
shoulder or pushing me and telling
me to get in there, which I did,
Pvt. Cummins added
Called yellow He Says.
The witness said he thought Chief
Murphy made some reference to
his being yellow" but he was un-
able to remember the exact words.
Subsequently, Pvt. Cumnis told
the board, the chief used profanity
in informing 1t. Eugene J. Heiss
that the Number 13 crew was using
the wrong nozzle on its hose. The
witness said he could not remember
the exact words used, but added 1t.
Heiss had been "bawled out quite
severely
Repeatedly, Daniel B. Maher,
special assistant corporation counsel,
sought to draw from the witness
further details of the alleged Incl
dents, and Board Chairman Austin
F. Garfield urged Pvt. Cummins to
give the panel the benefit of "his
best recollection"
In cross-examination, Mr.. O'Don-
oghue pointed up the uncertainty of
the witnesses recollection. Despite
heated objections from Mr.. Maher,
the board also permitted the defense
attorney to question Pvt. Cummins
closely about his activities in the
