OF Dollar Watch Fame
Dies Of Auto Injury
BY the Associated Press


SOUTH ORANGE, N. j., Sept
22.-Charles H. Ingersoll. 10, CO.
founder of the dollar watch company
which made his name famous, is
dead.
He died in Orange Memorial Hos
pital yesterday of head injury re-
ceived Sunday night when he was
struck by an automobile while cross
ing street here.
Charles H. Ingersoll and his late
brother, Robert, made their watch
an American byword. Their slogan
was THE watch that made the dol
lar famous"
They got their inspiration for the
turnip-sized timepiece from bat
tered old alarm clock. The watches,
in fact, licked not unlike an alarm
clock.
Their first watch was produced in
1882. BY clever promotion and mass
production, they turned out as many
as AZ watches a minutes. The COM
pany's peak was $4,000 a day and
they sold 100000 of them. This
was just before they sold out to the
Waterbury Clock Co. in 1927.
Turned to Politics.
Mr.. Ingersoll turned to politics
late in life, running for Governor of
New Jersey as an Independent in
1884. His platform included reform
of our senseless tax system" He
was president Of the Manhattan
Single Tax Club and on the Execu-
tive Committee of the National Sim
gle Tax League. He published the
monthly magazine Democracy.
Mr.. Ingersoll was born in Delta,
Mich, the son of Orville and Mary
Ingersoll. Mr.. 1ngersoll liked to
reflect that he was born mot far
from Henry Ford and not long after
him." He remarked that Henry
Ford and he had similar careers in
the industrial world, although he
was manufacturing a $500 article
and T was manufacturing a dollar
article, which accounts for the dis
parity in our incomes"
Mr.. Ingersoll was reared on a
Michigan farm, but decided to come
East to make his fortune. Together
with his brother, who was flve years

Court yesterday ordered Miss Mary

false pretenses.
The woman was accused Of giving

Mr.. Ingersoll was friendly with
many of the leading American po-
litical figures and occasionally rem
missed that it was at his home in
South Orange that he introduced
William Jennings Bryan to Woodrow
Wilson. Mr.. Bryan placed Mr.. Will
son in nomination for President at
the Democratic National Conven-
ton of 1912.
In 1898 Mr.. Ingersoll married the
former Eleanor Bond. who died in
1928. His brother Robert died the
same year. For the last few years
Mr.. Ingersoll had been living at
the home of his daughter, Mrs. Jo-
seph D. Schoerer, in Llewellyn Park

since time mmemorial Centuries ago primitive humans doubtless were cognizant of it's preserving qualities. But only years has freezing, household millions of homes have refrigerators which manu- facture their ce more and more homes are being equipped with special freezing units for holding foods at icy temperatures for indefinite periods.
 Both these devices have altered, in some respects the operation of the average American home But the appearance of freezing pants-locker plants they are known-in thousands of rural and suburban con- nunities likely to have wider repercussons. This modern advancement already is having marked effect in certain segments of economy.
 Many locker plants kill as well as freeze meats chased for resale by the plant manager All types of poultry are handled in the same manner The anna teur gardener who raised vegetables in the summer months doesn't need to give them away "to get ride of them" now He can take them to his cold storage locker-and find them fresh and green when winter comes Thus many of the difficulties of home can- ming are eliminated. Many locker plants sell as well as preserve great variety of food products.
 Such services generally appreciated by house. holders parts of the food industry not be so appreciative Quick freezing and storage cuts down certainly the potential consumption of commercially canned goods Locker plants in time may cut seriously into the meat packing industry. But overshadowlng these-and other-possble disadvantages many great advantages Not least of these is the fact that the increased facilities for food preservation m sure CD greater conservation of food products 2) improved health standards the nation

ROYALL AND BLACK
 MARKET

Secretary Royall also violated the spirit of President Truman'S re- peated attempts to hold down prices when he advertised his 1947 Cadillac sedan for sale at $4,200 after he had paid only $2,925 for it. Royal first approached the Cadillac agency in Washington and asked them to buy the car. They offered him the regular list price. To do otherwise would have put them in the black market. But this high-up members of the official Truman family refused to sell for the legal price and adyer- tised his car for sale at S4,200 When this collrnnist and others called to inquire about the car, somebody got worried and it was hurriedly withdrawn from sale.
 Note-The Army and Congress might find 1t worth while to study the plan of ex-Congressman Kent Keller of Illinois for an American school army-a series of universities for underprivileged boys.

WILL JUSTICE DEPART MENT PROSECUTE?

This Congressional report was approved by the entire committee both Democrats and Republicans even including Jim Wadsworth of New York, father-in-law ot Stuart Symington, at that time Assistant Secretary of War for Air. It was then sent to the Justice Department.
 There it has been gathering dust ever since. Inquiries at the Justice Department last week brought the reply from alleged in formation officer Leo Cadison that the FBI is still investigating" " That, however, is not true. From other sources, it was ascertained that the FBI finished its report long ago and that it is highly un- favorable to Secretary Royall. It found him guilty of violating the law.
 On top of all this, Royal was called before the House Expendi- lures Subcommitte just few days ago. This was when he brazenly refused to premise that he would not violate the law in the future.

High Defender for the Negro
(New York Times

For many years the Supreme Court of the United States has consistently upheld the right of the Negro in Southern communities to fair trial free from the influence of bias or prejudice. The latest opn- ion of court reversing the conviction of Negro on a charge of murder extends this right to state where this had been previously tested in the Federal courtsMssisspp until recently the strong hold of white supremacy.
 It was as long ago as 1879 that the Supreme Court invalidaed West Virginia statute of 1870 prohibiting Negroes from serving juries Since then the area of the South to which the court specifically applied this basic principle has gradually been expanded until it now includes eight States The famous Scotts- boro decision of 1925 did much to establish fairer rules of court procedure. Yet, by subterfuge or another the doctrine of the court has often been frustrated many Southern communities it is still impossible for Negro charged with rape or killing a white man to obtain fair trial by mixed jury.
 The Mississippi case particularly fragrant one The defendant convicted year ago on what he claims was an eXtorted confession. The population of the county in which he was tried is almost half Negro Yet for thirty years there no Negro has been called to serve on grand or petit jury Justice Black, reading a unanimous decision, held this to be 'purposeu and systematic dscrlmi- nation" by which mans life should be placed ln ieopardy Forward looking elements throughout the South will welcome the courts ringing affirmation of incontestible human rights.

BIG BUSINESS vs. LITTLE

Most interesting Senate race of the year is shaping up in Wyo- ming, where Judge Thurman Ar mold, the rust-busting ex-Assist- ant Attorney General, plans to challenge one of the biggest busi- nessmen in the state, COP Senator Edward V. Robertson. The issue of big business vs. little business will be laid right on the line be- tween them.
 Robertson, born in Britain. came to Wyoming at the age of 31 and married the daughter of H. H. Rogers, partner of old John D. Rockefeller. The Senator now man. ages the Coe ranch, one of the biggest in the state and owned by his brother-in-law. Backed by the big cattlemen, Robertson has one

FAST SPENDING

The satisfactorily minded Gas well as the economy minded) doubtless will be interested Ill some oi ti figures listed in the year-end report oi tie Ooi' gressional Record.
 According to the Record spending by the House Annropriatons Committee aggregated s35,779 s6u during the year just ended That is sum too vast to be cornprehended readily by the average cltlzen
 It takes on more meaning, however when pnraseo in terms of money spent per minute Capltoi re- uorters took out their pencils and divided the sum of appropriations by the time the House of Repre- sentatives was in session during 1947-whch was IA days or 686 hours and two minutes-and the result was the revelation that the House spent money at the rate of $869227 minute
 Actually since only small part Of the total session time was spent in considering appropriations tba House and Congress really spent money much faster than that when it really bucked down to It,
