Placards carried by the ground

On Injunction Given
To CoIored Firemen

The Court of Appeals today re-
versed a decision by District Judge
Alexander Holtzoff who had issued
a temporary injunction forbidding
enforcement of an agreement be-
tween the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Firemen and Engineers and
Southeastern railroads.
The injunction had been sought
by 81 colored f1remen who con-
tended the agreement was discrimi-
aatory inasmuch as it deprived
them Of certain seniority rights"
and, they said, put them In a class
listed as "nonprofitable."
The Appeals Court decision pre-
sumably reinstates the agreement
between the union and the rail-
roads pending action by the proper
District Court.
The appeals court held that Dis
trict Court here lacked jurisdiction.
The appellate court said the Fed
eral venue statute provides that mo
civil suit shall be brought in any
district court against any person by
and original process or proceeding
IN any other district than that
whereof he is an inhabitant."
The appellate court held that the
lower court should have granted the
brotherhood motion to dismiss the
suit. An AFFIDAVIT filed in support
of the motion, the Court of Appeals
said, stated that the principal
place of business of the brotherhood
is Cleveland, Ohio. ="
The court held that the fact that
national legislative representa-
tive" Of the brotherhood has an
office here still did not give District
court venue in the case.
In the suit the 81 colored firemen
charged they have been deprived OF
working on Diesel engines.
The Court of Appeals opinion was
written by Chief Judge Harold M.
Stephens. Judges Henry w. Edger-
ton and Bennett Champ Clark of the
Court of Appeals heard the case
with him.

An acre-by-acr search of an es-

Police Chief John H. Souers, jr

The search yesterday, marking
Sc hours of combing the area since
The car was found, saw more than
1000 persons, including Glen
Burnie's National Guard unit, ano
tour aircraft in action.
The Guardsmen used field radios
walkie- -talkies and jeeps to keep In
contact with scattered units.
Only clues found thus far-and
not considered of prime Importance
by Chief Souers-are Mr.. Mahlans
driving permit, found torn to bits
about three-fourths of a mile from
the car, and a bunch of keys found
near the auto. The girls father
found the torn permit.
Pine Needles Found.
Authorities have theorized that If
it is a case of murder the crime was
committed elsewhere and the car
driven into the beanfield, just of
the. old Baltimore Annapolis road,
S miles southeast of Glen Burnie
which is 80 miles northeast OF
Washington. Blood obviously had
dripped from the car onto the run
ming board and then onto the
ground, but none was found under
the car on the sandy soil.
Pine needles were found on the
hood and running board, but there
is no. pine near the scene.

Suit Attacking WAA
Blast Furnace Deal
Due 10 Be Filed TODAY
By Don S. Worren

BY Don ). Warren
The steel industry dispute over
the disposal by the War Assets
Administration of a huge Cleve-
land blast furnace was expected
to reach District Court late to-
day.
Spokesman for the law firm OF
Arnold, Fortes and Porter said the
suit will be filed on behalf of the
Wheland Co. of Chattanooga, Tenn.
The suit, it was said, will seek
to have set aside the disposition
of the plant to the Kaiser-Fraser
Corp.
Attorneys said declaratory
judgment would be sought to have
the plant properly offered" for
sale. The $28,000,0 900 plant was built
during the war and operated by
Republic Steel.
Hearings to Be Resumed.
The Wheland company has pro-
tested that 1t was preparing to SUBJ
nit bid for the blast furnace, said
to be one of the largest of its kind
in the world, when WAA Admins
traitor Jess Larson completed the
deal with Kaiser-Fraser.. After OBJ
tanning a lease on the property
Kaiser Fraser made a temporary
operating arrangement with Re-
public Steel.
Hearings on the controversy were
held recently by subcommittee OF
the House Executive Expenditures
Committee. Representative Bender,
Republican, of Ohio, announced re-
Gently the hearings would be re-
sumed soon in an effort to get TO
the bottom of the controversy. The
date for the resumed hearings has
not vet been set, but subcommittee
sources said it probably would be
late this month or early in October,
depending on when subcommittee
members would be available.
The Wheland Co. attorneys said
the suit would allege that the WAA
contract was illegal, partly on the
general ground that Administrator
Larson had failed to give sufficient
opportunity to interested parties to
submit bids. The Wheland Co. bid
is Said to have reached the WAA
aftef the deal was made with
Kaiser Fraser.
IN Inside Tip Charged.
Iii was said the suit would allege
alsesthat the contract was in viola
tom of WAA regulations and also
would contain an allegation that
Kaiser-Fraser had been given an
inside tip"
In1addition to the court action,
the Wheland Co. attorneys were
preparing to file memorandum
with Attorney General Clark argu-
ine that final consummation of the
present deal would be in violation
of antitrust laws. They said the
Attorney General now has before
hinng the question of passing on
final long term lease OF the prop
erty to Kaiser Fraser.
The memorandum, it was said,
wilI0urge the Attorney General to
DELAY action on the final lease
until the issues have been resolved.
