Arlington Man Cleared
In Theft OF Unlicensed Doq

C. G. Andrews, 80, of the 1900
block of South Meade street, Arling-

that he stole a pedigreed French
bulldog in Alexandria November 2
Judge James r. Duncan in Alex

Griffith S Fight Ends
As D. T.. Cuts Fee for
Stadium Protection

(From Yesterdays Last Edition.)
The legal battle between Clark
Griffith, owner of the Washing
ton Baseball Club, and the Dis
trict government over special
police and fire protection ended
today when the Commissioners
amended the regulations to cut
by more than half the fees pro-
moters must pay.
Oliver Gasch, assistant corporation
counsel, said attorneys for Mr.. Grit
fifth and two other major sports
promoters had agreed to withdraw
their objections to the fee arrange
ment as a result of todays amend
mentS.
Under the original regulations,
stadium and arena operators were
charged the hourly wages of the
special police and flremen assigned.
Area REDEEMED.
The amendments redefne the
areas, near Griffith Stadium, Tur-
ners Arena and Uline Arena for
which the promoters must reim-
burse the District for special police
and fire protection. The new regu-
lations limit the assignment Of police
and firemen for whose services the
promoters must pay to the licensed
premises and streets and alleys
abutting on or adjacent to the places
involved.
The law previously provided that
the bills be paid monthly and in ad-
vance. Mr.. Griffith's estimated an
nual bill was figured at about $4,000
year. Mr.. Gasch said the protec-
ton now will cost Mr.. Griffith less
than $4,000 a year.
Refunds Also Possible.
Mr.. Gasch said the amendment
also provided machinery for reim-
bursting the promoters when their
monthly estimates in advance are
more than the actual cost.
Mr.. Gasch said he conferred with
attorneys for Mr.. Griffith, Mike
Uline and Mrs. Florence Turner be-
fore submitting the amendments to
the Commissioners.
He said Attorney John E. Powell,
representing Mr.. Griffith, agreed to
withdraw two actions pending in
District Court against the fee sys-
tenn. He said the promoters ex-
pressed satisfaction with the new
setup.

Mayor Tells Senator'S
Basing Point Ban May
Doom mWafertown,N.Y

Senate investigators were told to-
day by w. A. Winslow, former
Mayor of Watertown, N. Y, that
he did not want to see his town
become known as ghost town,
sacrificed to the basing point deci-
sion"
Mr.. Winslow testified before a
Subcommittee on Trade Policies,
headed by Senator Capehart, Re-
publican, of Indiaia, which is in
vestigating the results on industry
of the Supreme Court ban on the
basing point system of pricing as
well as Federal Trade Commission
pricing policies.
Many businessmen feel that the
FTC policies and the Supreme Court
decision mean that prices must be
set fob. at the mill and that freight
charges cannot be absorbed.
Justice Attorneys Testify.
The subcommittee was told by a
Justice Department attorney, how
ever, that the FTC has never
brought proceeding charging that
freight absorption by single seller,
not accompanied by reciprocal alb
Sorption by others, violates the
Trade Commission Act.
Herbert A. Bergson, Assistant At
torney General in the Antitrust
Division, testified that in his opin-
ion it appears that future proceed
ings under the Trade Commission
Act, like earlier proceedings, would
be confined to situations approx
mating that in the cement industry.
In that case it was found freight
absorption had been used to reduce
price competition to a shadow.
He also said that any conclusion
that the Clayton Act permits the
FTC to prohibit freight absorption
under almost any circumstances
represents only inference and sur
mise"
Plant Proposes Move.
Mr.. Winslow described the condi-
tions confronting Watertown in
Northern New York.
The New York Air Brake Co.,
situated there for so years, employs
1000 persons, and is the chief en-
ployer in the, community. The COM
pany fears it cannot compete with
its chief competitor in Pittsburgh
if 1t has to pay the full freight on
the steel it purchases and must
charge its Western customers the
full freight on the airbrakes it ships
to them.
The air brake company proposes

Congress May Drop
UNIT as Live Issue;
Truman Move Waited
From Yesterdays Last Edition.
By the Associoted Press

BY the Associuted Press
Universal military training, backed
by President Truman in the past
probably will not be pushed when
the new Democratic controlled
Congress meets in January.
So far as military officials here
know, there has been no final White
House decision.
But some officials in the military
establishment, in a position to know
policies, express doubt the UNIT
program will be urged at the next
session of Congress.
1t is pointed out that the armed
forces still look on UNIT as the best
long range method of building up
reservoir of trained manpower
But the urgencies of the present
world situation, as developed dur
ing the last year and especially dur
ing the last six months, make it
more essential to give full atten-
ton to the present combat strength
Of the Army.
The Army now is endeavoring to
build up to the 837,000-fg au-
thorized by the last Congress. If
UNIT were adopted now, part of the
effort and expenditure of the mill
tary would be diverted to operating
a separate organization for training
youths.
UNIT men would not be eligible for
use as part of the Regular Army
Even the present one-year training
program for 18-year-olds makes no
direct contribution to the require
ments for troops available for duty
outside the United States,
This program was adopted as a
mild substitute for the UNIT pro-
gram. Under it, up to 161 900 sub
draft age youths may volunteer for
a year of Army duty within the
country. The 161 900 figure is in
addition to the 837, 900 strength to
which Congress permitted the Army
to build by next June 80.

Textron's Three Trusts
Challenged on Taxes,
Hearing Is Told
By the Assoeioied Press

BOSTON, Nov. 10-A Senate SUBJ
committee investigating Textron
Inc, was told today that the Fed
eral Government has challenged
the tax-exempt status of three
charitable trust funds set up by the
big textile corporation.
Bayard Ewing of Providence, r. I.
sole trustee of the Rayon Founda-
ton Trust, testified the Internal
Revenue Bureau advised him IA
months ago that his trust was SUBJ
ject to Federal taxes.
Mr.. Ewing said he understood the
status of the Rhode Island charities
trust, another set up by Textron
had been challenged, too.
Charles w. Tobey, jr., counsel for
the subcommittee headed by his
father, Senator Tobey, Republican,
of New Hampshire, asked:
Did any agent of yours see in
come tax officials about this tax
liability?"
McGrath is Mentioned.
Mr.. Ewing replied:
"I believe that Benjamin Sturgis
of the Rhode Island Charities Trust
did have a conference in Wash
ington."
The younger Mr.. Tobey identified
Senator McGrath of Rhode Island,
chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, as one Of the
trustees of the Rhode Island Char
tiles Trust.
Mr.. Ewing was asked whether he
talked with Mr.. Sturgis about the
trip to Washington and whether

nected with the Internal Revenue
Department.

replied.
Asked whether he discussed the
matter with Royal Little, president
of Textron, Mr.. Ewing answered:

him"
Senator Tobey chided Mr.. Ewing
for his casual reply"
''I should think that in a matter
involving millions of dollars you'd
make more than a casual mention
of the problem" said the Senator.
Senator Tobey then told Mr..
Ewing to be stronger and more
specific" in his answers.

removed and secreted in the attic,
the gun cleaned and fresh clip OF
eight cartridges inserted, police said
they we're told.
It was the second time the owner
of the gun was arrested. He was
brought in about three weeks ago
and questioned. A tip about the
pistol led to his second arrest.
A special detachment of detectives
appointed by Gov. Lane to help
clean up the murder arrested the
man at his job in South Baltimore
sugar refinery. He was said to be
quartermaster corpsman dis
charged in 1916 after serving three
years in Europe.
The mans home, near a popular
'1over's lane" was searched for
other evidence. Laundry receipts
led police to a cleaning shop on the
Ritchie highway with the object OF
picking up clothes left there by the
man and subjecting them to tests.
Three pairs of shoes found in the
home were sent to the FM in
Washington to determine if any OF
them made bloody clay footprint
found in the back seat of Mr.. NAH
lan's car.

blood-spattered car, with each Of
the front windows. bullet-punctureo
and bloody pine needles on the ra-
diator and running board, was
found between Lipins Corner anc
Marley Creek, five miles southeast
Of Glen Burnie.
When the couple was not imme.
diately found, one of the creates
manhunts in Maryland history de-
veloped. More than 1000 person!
searched the woods for the popular
couple.
Hopes were not buoyed by thu
finding of the car keys and Mr.
Mahlan's torn-up drivers licens'
not far from the car. Mr.. Mahlan'
wallet and the girls wristwatcf
were missing. Other clues, such a.
