his job becaue of his difficulties
the same judicial process was used
against the mother, who could not
pay her bills and support her son
at the same time.
Questioned as to the legality OF
the judicial process by the Justice

ney George Morris Fay replied that
the businessmen are within the law
as it now exists.
He said that most of the sum-

ors insist on personaI service by the
United States marshal he cannot
legally refuse 1t.
Indications were that the only
solution to the problem would be
new legislation which would raise
the exemption limit on creditors

only those who make less than $10t

Gen. Marshall said the United

through the United Nations Truce

In view of the deplorable resump-

Asked which side he blamed for
starting the fighting in Palestine
again, Gen. Marshall said that ac-
cording to reports that have come in
so far the Arab contingent started
it. He added, however, that it is up
to the Security Council to determine
the responsibility. He said he had
largely only press reports to 60 on

He emphasized that the United
States would take no unilateral ac-

A reporter then asked if the

Cafe Owners Protest
Proposed ABC Rules
About Bookkeeping

About 100 Washington restaurant
owners appeared at an Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board hearing
today as their representatives pro-
tested proposed bookkeeping regula-
tions for licensed Establishments.
The regulations under considera-
ton are two in number. The first
calls for records to show receipts for
alcoholic beverages and separate
records showing receipts for food.
The District ABC law says food
receipts should exceed alcoholic
beverage receipts. A definite book
keeping regulation is needed to
enable ABo inspectors to know that
the law Is being obeyed and to
impress the terms Of the law upon
proprietors.
The second proposed regulation
would require records of disburse-
ments to reveal any hidden owners.
Finds Licensees Ignorant.
Alan w. Payne, chairman of the
AbC Board, said he was shocked at
the ignorance of the licensees con-
cernlng the law. If they thought
me law was wrong in respect to the
1ood and alcoholic beverage bal
ance, they should take 1t UP with
Congress, he said.
Philip A. Guarino, operator of
Phils Spaghetti House at 1907
Georgia avenue NV. said the regu-
lation would reveal that 95 per cent
OF the small licensees were in an
Illegal position. Mr.. Guarino said
ne was, president of the Tavern
Owners Of Washington, which rep

the licensee was so dishonest as
to conceal an owner, his disburse-
ment records would not reveal it.
Insurance Lawyer FavOrs Rule.
n. A. Farretta, attorney for an
insurance company appeared in IA
vor OF the first regulation. He said
many licensed places keep such
poor records it is hard for them
to recover insurance when they are
robbed.
Watson B. Rulon, past president

be kept on the premises and avail

Hotel Off1cial Testifies.
H. S. Wyckoff, 5000 Connecticut
avenue NV, said his books were
kept in the Offices of an auditing
firm.
Frank Wheatley, president of the
Washington Hotel Association,
pointed out that hotels are open
for business "a hours although their
accounting Offices keep normal
business hours.
Mrs. Anthony j. Siedel, manager
of the Covered Wagon at 1402
Fourteenth street NV. expressed
fear that inspectors would come at
the rush hours. She suggested they
ought to follow the example Of the
inspectors of the Internal Revenue
Bureau who telephone two days
ahead and arrange a convenient

Early arrivals for the convention
starting Monday are struck by:
/. The shriveling state of the anti
Truman drive-due to the defation-
ary tactics of Gen. Eisenhower and
the inability to get boom for
Justice Douglas into high gear.
2 A lack of real pre-convention
activity in the interest OF presi-
dental and vice presidential candi-
dates, as compared to what went on
at a similar period before the open
ing of the recent Republican Ma
tional Convention. There is no en-
thusiaSm.
Except for Senator Pepper and
q few other hardy souls, the idea
of nominating Gen. Eisenhower had
fallen so fiat that there is some
doubt now that the caucus" called

This does not mean that these
Democrats love President Truman

them a number Of students from
Yale University, where Justice
Douglas taught at one time.
There is no Truman headquar-
ters as such-although the head
quarters of the Democratic National
Committee is really acting in that
capacity, with Chairman McCrath
going all out for nomination OF the
President. The Eisenhower head
quarters, financed by Joseph Mach
man, a Philadelphia manufacturer
who happens to be registered
Republican, is scarcely lively
affair.
The only other headquarters so
far visible to the naked eye is that
for Senator O'Mahoney of Wyoming
for Vice President.
The Truman forces seem to be
well satisfied with the course things
are taking. Chairman McGrath and
his aides all insist that the Presi-
dent will be nominated on the first
ballot-though they admit 1t will
not be unanimous.
In the convention will be 1896
delegates-although there are only
l ,234 delegate votes-and as the Tru-
man managers say, it would be
strange If out of all those delegates
some one did not attempt grand
stand play by placing Gen. Eisen-
hower's name before the convention
Having scored through the Eisen-
hover statement that the general
could not accept nomination II
offered him, the Truman managers
are now seeking to placate as far as
possible the aroused Democrats Of
the South. They speak glibly OF
writing a softened civil right plank
a modification of the 1914 civil rights
plank in the party platform OF that
year. 1t is something the President
himself will ultimately have to pass
on-for the draft of the proposed
platform when completed will be
sent to him. The apparent pre-
sumption is that he will acquiesce In
the plan and not seek to have the
civil rights program. in legislative
form, placed in the platform as he
recommended it to Congress.
Southerners Still Bitter.
Some of the Southern Democrats
however, continue to talk bitterly
of the President One of the dele
gates from Mississippi for example
is ready to go right down to the

put another Democrat in the field
for President if-Mr. Truman is
nominated. Four or five States will
be represented at the Birmingham
convention-and the hope is ex-
pressed that others will join in.
Leslie Biff1e, sergeant at arms OF
the convention and close friend
of President Truman said today he
had been called by the Americans
for Democratic action-and asked
how many demonstrators" would
be allowed on the convention floor
for candidate for the presidential
nomination.
He replied that only those who
held credentials admitting them to
floor privileges (the delegates, al
ternates and actual officials Of the
convention would be admitted to
the floor. This means that any
demonstration put on must be put
on by the delegates themselves--and
alternates-instead of by a lot of
extraneous demonstrators" such as
those used for candidates at the
